apparently the hawkeye omni by matt fraction is going for 40 bucks on amazon.
how are marvels new omnis?

Paper is thin, but still ain't bad. I like the ones I have. But don't buy Franction's Hawkeye. There are better omnis out there to get.

its good and worth it, besides Gillen's JiM, it's one of the consistently best series released within the past decade

Thinking I should get either Moore's Miracleman stuff or the JLI Omni, and since the JLI omni is fucked and there's no reprint I'm getting Miracleman.

...

Recent purchases. Only thing missing is my Battle Angel Alita deluxe edition.

Graphic novels and trades.

...

Manga shelf. Missing Battle Angel Alita deluxe volume 1.

Look in to what those Miracleman trades look like. I remember people being upset with the recoloring done to them.

work has been pretty slow so nothing new until next year

lel what is this?

Nothing new on the ol' shelf, I do have some more Hellboy I need to read then i can get into folders like the other ones.

>no 6 or 7 of invincible HC
autism triggered
how's black science by the way? wondering if it's worth picking up or reading online.
this shelf comforts my ocd

And this is some of my pulls from the last few months, this is the stuff i still haven't read yet.

I like reading a whole arc or chunk of issues at once unless its some crazyass spoilerific thing like Doomsday Clock

These came in today

Moore write a bunch of poems, different artists illustrate it
arguably the best thing Moore has ever written

not buying any books right now cuz saving up for my trip in a few weeks but I preordered the I Hate Fairyland hardcover because its like the most fun series I ever read and it deserves oversized art

>how's black science by the way? wondering if it's worth picking up or reading online.

Its worth it for the art alone and the 3vol hardcovers theyre doing are a reasonable price.

Its really good sci-fi adventure, reminds me of Lost in Space + I dunno, Black Hawk Down... with some Sliders in there and a whole 70's "Dynasty" shitbag of dramas.

>work less in Winter
>new hire who is bosses brother-in-law gets priority in working on what jobs we do land
>Have to buy Xmas gifts for at least 7 people
>despite all this the number one book on my list goes on sale at an incredible price
>miss it because dealing with Thanksgiving drama all weekend + playing Marvel Heroes Omega with my friends one last time

Fuuuuuuuuuuucking riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip this stress is too much I want to be a NEET again let me go back.

That the Girls HC?

nice. ive also been wanting to read flintstones and daredevil by miller. was there some kind of sale?

Don't go back dude... it's not worth it.

Listen to this on the way to work.

>Ennis Punisher omnibus isn't on IST
kill me

anyone else excited for this?

seems like fractions hawkeye, king's vision, and lemire's moon knight are the only good things marvel's done in a while. am i missing anything else?

Ewing's oeuvre is pretty good
and X-men Legacy
and Punisher The Platoon
and Fury MAX My War Gone By

but Hawkguy goes to shit halfway through

bup

...

Ditched some books, bought some new ones.

is the DC New Frontier paperback durable? looks thick as fuck. thought about telling my gf to choose between Kingdom Come Deluxe and New Frontier paperback when she gets me christmas presents

I'm trying to order from Fantagraphics' own store but for shipping it only gives me USPS Air - Canada/Mexico (Varies) but I don't think that would work for me since I live in Europe. Last year using the USPS Air - International shipping method was possible for me but not anymore it seems.

Have you seen this? Have you heard about this?

It's a nice quality. I've read through it a handful of times and never felt like I needed to baby it to keep it in decent shape.

X-men was about 70% off and FF was half price. Finally got to read God Loves, man Kills and it is amazing.

My Marvel collection is about to get a ton bigger cause the store just went through inventory and pulled a bunch of trades. All will be $5 in a couple weeks.

Fucking nice. I need this, his songs/poems are my favorite stuff of his

Fuck forgot pic

Do many of you guys, or people you know acquire books faster than you read them? I do it to a small degree, never more than a few books at a time but i see some people get ridiculous with it. Side note left my god butcher tpb in the car yesterday (ausfag here) and the bloody glue in the spine melted

Yes, but someone will show up soon enough to tell us it will be unreadable and collapse under its own weight or something.

>Do many of you guys, or people you know acquire books faster than you read them?
constantly. Really easy to do with novels/non-fiction books, which is why I'm reading like 5 of them right now. Also, easy to do with you bargain bin trades as much as I do, I can end up with a stack a foot high in one bargain bin dive.

I ended up getting on Cyber Monday the new Absolute edition that collects those PaulDini/AlexRoss books.

I just noticed that Jem has a flap like it's a journal or something.
Is it simply a design thing or was the book thick enough to warrant it actually?

Yeah I'm constantly behind so I'll always have books piling up. Been considering going digital for space purposes.

thinking about getting that one too since there's literally no way to get that shit in paperback form at a small price. how much did you pay and how's the quality?

Close ups

It was around $50usd on Amazon (grabbed it yesterday so no idea if that was the Cyber Monday price).

Still in transit but it showed pics that looked fine.

...

>2017
>Buying comics
You guys know that Readcomicsonline exists, right?

...

finally a product that I can get for the same price as in the US. usually, us germans are fucked over pretty hard. I'm so torn on whether to get it or not considering I shouldn't be spending my money like that. on the other hand, there's no indication of a re-release so the (limited) absolute is pretty much my only option

I haven't read most of my collection but I'll eventually do it...

>literally only have two volumes of Smallville Season 11, Watchmen, All-Star Superman, TDKR/DKSA & Master Race

pretty overwhelmed by all the choices I have right here

>readcomicsonline
>willing to put up with shit quality scans
>denying fetish power of the real thing
> cheapskate to boot

This is why you are a pleb, and always will be.

Punisher: Suicide Run

I usually read it on my laptop but I for one thought I'd want to have a small collection

>DC basics (Superman, Batman, etc)
>Sandman
>Lucifer
>Hellboy

I usually never know what to tell people to buy me for christmas but now I do so why not? I can give it to my kids to read someday

I found this and the Death of Captian America omnibus both for $95 after tax. After I read them I'll try to trade for The Uncanny X-force omnibus or something else.

>That calendar

is UNCLEAN!

surprised how much Sunstone I see in /shelf/

That Galko cover is pure fuckin' boner fuel.

IDK about the rest of you, but I need my drawn porn to have a story to keep me going.

Reposting last week's grab cause I've gotta wait till my stuff from this week comes in.

>IDK about the rest of you, but I need my drawn porn to have a story to keep me going.
I have a lot of "porn" in my collection, but like Sunstone I couldn't fap to it. I don't know who could fap to Celluloid, it's just too freaking weird. Well maybe a woman could shlick to some of the pages of the demon fucking that woman, or the giant veiny cock cumming across the pages. I just see it as art

Why not have both?

Nope.

is there any way that hardcovers or paperbacks might decrease in quality when piled up like that? with regular books, I never had that fear but I kinda do with regular comics

pic related, bought this off a guy but don't have the place for the books yet so I'm thinking about just piling them up

What's Galko and Battle Angel like?

Well I'd imagine the weight of the stack will cause the bottom books to wanna shift if unevently stacked.

They're selling those on Peru too, very popular.

Well,what I do is cover my hardbacks with the thing we use for covering notebooks (made from vinyl), my TPB's with almost the same thing, but adhesive, and the stapled ones with simple comic book bags

and, BTW, you can put them in vertical fashion, so the front won't be affected by sunlight or other things

I have fallen behind on a lot of my floppy pull list...they keep coming in and just going on the unread stack. Very behind on American Gods and Black Monday Murders. Also have a couple other stacks like Death Virgil that i got for cheep and have been sitting for far too long.

>run out of shelves
>don't want to spend precious book money on another bookcase
>don't want to buy books with nowhere to put them

Guess I'm done?

I Kill Giants was a really early Christmas present from my sister, I found 30 Days of Night and the Hellboy Christmas Special at a used bookstore they were really cheap.

Also I rearranged my shelves since the last thread

...

Are all those horror ones 30 days? Beautiful covers

Hope she likes it.
I feel like that or Anya's Ghost or some WW book are usually my go-to ideas for comics for female friends.

Sell books you finished reading, more book money

Of you are just buying books to sell them why not use the library?

Yeah, I didn't like the story, but the art is great
She got it for me, sorry I think I worded it wrong, I bought her Hoshi Mamoru Inu, because she is not into comics.

yeah but if he only has issues he wants to keep, that might be a problem

kek, you didn't word it wrong. user was just being retarded

Ah yeah I read your post wrong nvm.

I just spent 75$ on this, i have never even read death of superman. How pathetic am i?

Eh the heart wants what the heart wants.

But that book is super common you could get it for $10 nearly any town. But I'm sure ya know enough of the story that you could go on without actually reading it.

Where's a good place to see what new stuff is going to released?

Ug that is ugly. Sorry user. Then again good figures are like 200+

There is an Emma Frost statue that costs nearly $600

Previewsworld.com

Is it made of actual diamond?! Or at least 2ft tall?

>no sleeves and boards
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

2ft tall. But the heart wants what the heart wants.

I don't use boards either

...

what's the character count limit? i dont wanna boot up the game to check, but the next time i log in i want to have a ridiculously long name for an ashlander character

fug, wrong thread

I don't have anything too valuable so it's ok

How are those 52 books?
Is the story good?
What is it even about?

how's aquaman? i heard its kind of mediocre, but black manta is one of my favorite villains. is he a big part of the new runs?
no, not with comics since they're so easy to read. you can read a trade in like 30 minutes. i dont have any omnis though.
>reading like 5 novels
same. its the used books that are the worst since theyre like 3 dollars.

yeah you dont want to stack them flat cause they'll warp and twist. its the same reason you dont stack vinyl that way.

Do you find those HUGE books easy to read? I thought about going for those Chew or Goon omnibus, but it didn't look easy or comfortable to manipulate unless I sit at a desk or something...

Yeah, I am just climbing out from under my pile in time to get buried by xmass loot. I'll come out of the holidays with 5-6 omnis.

the slimmer library editions are fine, but once you get up to omnibus size they can be a little unwieldy

Dude, that is tacky as fuck, if it was an actual resin statue that'd be diff but its just an elaborate action figure set.

I put them in bag'n'board after i read them the first time, and then they go in a shortbox.

Chill out friendo.
