Buy Thread

Do we ever have buy threads? I really new to Yea Forums. Spent most of my time reading Manga and watching Anime, but have grown pretty tired of it. Walked into a local comic store and grabbed a few things that seemed pretty interesting.

Look for /shelf/ in the archives, but yeah, they're basically just the equivalent of buyfag threads. We tend to have them about once a week.

I bought 120 comics for 60 at my LCS from the 50 cent bin.

Mostly got L.E.G.I.O.N. and 80s Captain Atom comics, but I also got some Starman, Blue Devil, Amethyst, Legends of the DC Universe, Legion of Superheroes, New Titans, Trenchcoat Brigade, Dreaming, Hawkworld, Justice League Europe, and DC Showcase comics as well.

Most of them were middling to good. The Captain Atom series was completely bsffling6, as the 80s series is a complete rip-off of Alan Moore's Miracle Man, which I did not expect.

I've always wanted to get into these style of comics, but I never could. Most of it just that cape stuff almost always drives me off as I like adventure/fantasy more than modern day and crime fighting/super villains.

Damn. Heh. Meant to say baffling.

In the Captain Atom, it retconed all of his past adventures and rogues gallery being a simulation created by the government. The exact same situation that occured in the Red King Syndrome arc of Miracleman.

life and times of Scrooge McDuck vol 1 finally came in from Amazon

Attached: 2019-04-11 23.19.41.jpg (3264x2448, 1.9M)

nice, is this in colour? Mine is just black and white, which is still really good. I especially like the parts were he has the characters break the 4th wall to talk about art concepts
neat, is that the artist for the book who did those two drawings for you?

well, welcome to Yea Forums. /shelf/ threads are are pretty good ones, as opposed to the rest of Yea Forums that bitches about everything.

I really like Monstress, and I find that the later volumes get better

All editions of the book are in black and white. I love Milo Manara's art, but I was vastly disappointed by the story. What it really boils down to is a man trying to babysit a basically mentally retarded woman, which makes her sexualization kind of disturbing.

Has anyone read Trip To Tulum that ran in 2000 AD's Crisis. Now that truly was a masterpiece.

Are these comics? I've always seen the straight to volume single run type graphic novels as a separate format

Bought this one variant (not my pic). It arrived in torn sealing bag.
I was so sad.

Attached: s-l1600 (2).jpg (1200x1600, 292K)

yeah the story isn't great, but I still enjoy it for the art. And like I said, the times where he stops the story and just talks about art and concepts of comics is great. Basically, I like it all except the story. I haven't read Trip to Tulum, is that written by him? I find Manara is much better when he has a writer, except for Paper Man, that's a decent comedy. My favorite of his is Indian Summer, written by Hugo Pratt.

Attached: indian summer.jpg (800x1057, 350K)

Graphic novels I would think are separate format as it's a bundle. It's really hard for me to get behind the comic format due to it's size.

Graphic Novels are essentially the same thing as comics.

How much Trenchcoat Brigade did you get?
Did they have the decency to throw in a shortbox or two?

>Do we ever have buy threads?

Of course! Thanks for making the new one. Nice of you to blind grab stuff, sometimes those are the best purchases, broaden your horizons and all that.

On the subject, a late package finally came in this last week, Shame was storytimed in aco a few weeks back, so I bet you could find it in the archives, it is worth every beautiful and haunted water color in it. Also tits
Also, finally Swampthing 6 came into being in the land of Mex, instant buy. The editorial says they are going to bring Morrison's Doom Patrol as hardcovers of the 6 tps, which I dont think I'll get. DP has way too much wordplay for a sketchy translation and 3 tps in english for around 25 bucks each, sounds way nicer.

I've fallen into a bad habit this week buying key floppies/random shit off Ebay. Got the entire Plastic Man and Captain Atom minis for like 4 bucks from a guy, Marvel Chillers 1-3, Spencer's Amazing Spider-Man 1 (which I forgot to purchase at the time), Super-Man 1, First appearance of Jessica Cruz in Justice League 31, and Green Lanterns 1 with variant. I want to hunt down Immortal Hulk 1, and Action Comics 595 at some point. Friend recently gave me Infinity Gauntlet 1 newstand print

Attached: Marvel Chillers 3 Tigra.jpg (400x619, 83K)

I got a co-worker like that too, he doesn't even read any of his comics, he just buys key issues and covers he likes.

That's a cool Tigra find though

My recents: Savage Sword of Conan and Conan the barbarian omnis. Hell on Earth HCs 1-5. Star wars original Marvel Years Omni 2

nice digits. And Merry Christmas, I can't believe it actually arrived after all that time. The storytime for any interesting besides lots and lots of tits, it has some really awesome demon designs

Attached: Shame-4.jpg (378x580, 117K)

I've been meaning to check this kind of stuff out, how do people find lots like this? I'd love to do it for comics (OP). Would be a neat way for me to jump into it all without just sitting in a shop for a few hours going through everything like I did today. I think I was there for like 2 or 3 hours.

I got the 2 final issues of the 1999 miniseries. I had read the first one, and was enthralled with it. It definitely shares the same charm as Gaiman's BoM series as well ad Rieber's run on the title.

Now I have to find issue two.

If I want to read most of my comics I'll either buy trades or read them online. It prevents me from handling them too much. But when I do get my weekly pickups I will read them before bagging and boarding them.

As for the Tigra thing, it's her first solo series after becoming Tigra. I'm thinking of hunting down Marvel Giant Size Creatures where she first transforms and appears with Werewolf By Night. Why the sudden interest in Tigra? Beats me. I guess I thought it'd be cool to get some of her stuff in the off chance Marvel decides to salvage her character, and push a new heroine to sell. Well that and I like her gimmick I suppose. I could post some of my notable floppies if you like.

were you in the Tigra thread last weekend? A lot of discussion on how to salvage her character. I think she's a pretty good character and has gone through some crazy trauma. I really just want her and Pym to be together

Attached: pym tigra1.png (500x345, 140K)

Yeah I was. For the most part I never consider characters “bad”, just needing a revamp or perhaps utilized differently. Tigra for example has a solid gimmick, she just needs to get past the fetish shit. I’d keep her away from Pym’s baggage because unfortunately Marvel is determined to drag him through the mud.


Anyway these are some notable floppies in my collection. Some were gifts, others I bought

FUCK YEAH PymXTigra! And to keep it in subject, Marvel is going to reprint Slott's Mighty Avengers as a "complete collection" which makes me happy.

Attached: Hank Greer Cooking.png (734x523, 248K)

The main person who was always shitting on Pym is gone, Bendis and somewhat Millar are to blame for shitting on Pym. Slott, Spencer and Gage are still working at Marvel and all have done good by him. I think with Bendis gone they can do good stuff.

Nice Moon Knight btw
yeah, I'm going to grab that collection, probably my 2nd favorite Avengers run. I wish it was in nice Omni format but oh well. Thanks for that pic, I like

Attached: Pym Tigra2.png (1000x488, 377K)

i bought every cover to jughead the hunger, vampireonica, chilling adventures of sabrina afterlife with archie and blossoms 666 cause my dream is to one day fill a wall with em the way you see in really cool comic caves

You know I've actually thought about posting some of my collection on a wall like that. How is that done, and isn't that arguably a bit unsafe for them? It looks fucking cool though.

going to collect these too? I'm thinking of it

Attached: 51SjEOnr4dL._AC_SY400_.jpg (299x400, 37K)

maybe. it's more along the lines of once upon a time archie sued a guy for making a joke list of top ten future archie plot lines in the 90's including crisis on infinite archie's and the death of archie. they sued him with bullshit claims only to get told by the judge it fell under fair use. when they did the death of archie comic in life with archie, the life with archie issues where dozens of different archies meet up and afterlife with archie stuff i took pictures of my issues and tweeted to them "remember that time in the 90's when you sued someone for joking about you doing a death of archie and crisis of infinite archies plot line?" they immediately banned me.

so for me the stuff with thier characters like this is basically a perverse f-u to archie since it's pretty much the grim and gritty shit keeping them alive now.

These are the most comfy threads around here together with story times. The rest it's a cancer mix of Yea Forums and child molesters

there is various methods. just remember without uv protection in those methods they will fade if exposed to sunlight

What are your thoughts on the subjective nature of grading, and getting things slabbed? I've seen shit sent to 3 different experiments and each had a different opinion on the value.

unless it's a really old key issue, it's a waste of money

Right? I haven't done it myself, but I get baffled at the scoring system and how some are harsher than others

when does this come out?

I have an old key issue #1, but I don't think it's that high quality to get it graded like that.

May 8th. Damn it, I just saw the author though, fucking Amy Chu, so it's going to be boring as fuck. Why Dynamite keeps her around I will never know

What issue?

Attached: 5405895-01.jpg (479x640, 119K)

Vampi

They also keep adding people who hate Vampirella's costume onto Vampirella projects. I'm still unaware if they're doing anything special for Vampirella's 50th. They just started Red Sonja ongoing by Mark Russel, but haven't heard anything about Vampirella besides a FCBD thing and a box.

Comics are for reading

yeah, the Box Set was the only thing I saw for her anniversary. I hope to god they have something else in the works cause that's a pretty depressing anniversary gift...

Attached: vampirella 1.jpg (750x1000, 114K)

I think she also got a calendar for her 50th.

Here's the FCBD thing, apparently it's a preview of a Christopher Priest run #0 that playboy has some hand in making.

>(W) Christopher Preist
July 2019 is the 50th anniversary of Vampirella, and to celebrate, Dynamite is relaunching the title that very month, with a very special preview to come in this year's FCBD special, Vampirella #0! Featuring work by legendary Vampirella creator Forrest J. Ackerman along with legends in the own right, Mark Texiera, Ty Templeton and Bruce Timm, Vampirella #0 will also unveil our lights-out new creative team as they present the prologue to a story so big, we had to hold it for Vampi's birthday!

Attached: STL111938.jpg (791x1200, 1.31M)

Honestly, was wanting more than just an ongoing.

>Vampirella #0 will also unveil our lights-out new creative team as they present the prologue to a story so big, we had to hold it for Vampi's birthday!
YES! An actual ongoing! I'm interested in knowing who it is. I knew about Priest doing the FCBD but I doubt he is doing the ongoing. This is one I'm going to make sure to grab though.

Looks like I have to hunt down a Playboy, wow.

>Adventure Zone vol.1

Nice get. Carey Pietsch, the artist for the graphic novelization, posted up some previews for the 2nd volume last year, I think. Are you a fan of the actual podcast or was this an impulse buy?

Attached: 1534725868829.png (628x487, 184K)

I hope they grabbed another big name writer and artist to work on it. I'll definitely grab some copies.
>Looks like I have to hunt down a Playboy, wow.
I have to find it to, I was surprised they wanted in on her birthday.

Impulse buy, I actually looked through it and it reminded me of harmonquest a bit. I've not been able to get behind most of the podcast or streams like this because usually 3 or 4 of the members are just so dull to listen to.

well Playboy has been going away from porn for a while now, they even cut out nudity for a few years and only recently brought it back. Plus Playboy has a long history with comics and creators, I have been thinking about getting a Playboy comic collection, there's a few on Amazon.

I have no clue who I would hope they get as a writer. but I hope they actually get someone good, Vampi seems the one at Dynamite that they haven't seemed to land for a while.

The Adventure Zone flows better when it comes to character interactions because, well, all the members involved are family--three brothers and their father. The youngest of the three brothers is the DM and the other three are the party that tromps around the magical sandbox. The DnD/fantasy-centric playthrough, Balance, is definitely worth a listen. Lots of comedy with some heavier moments, but admittedly toward the end it's more like an interactive cutscene than a playthrough. There's a bit of fast and loose play with DnD rules in comparison to, say, Critical Role, but the enthusiasm of the boys more than makes up for it.

In the current arc, Amnesty, they're doing a playthrough of a different system (Monster of the Week I think it was called--go ask on /tg/ if you want any more info on that) set in some alternate universe modern West Virginia backwater where cryptids are real, magic is a thing, and the FBI are incompetent. Think X-Files with a dash of Twin Peaks and a hulking tablespoon of oldschool Buffy.

Playboy comics ?? Huh

never seen a Playboy before? They have had quite a few big comic names draw for them

amazon.com/Playboy-Cartoons-Hugh-M-Hefner-ebook/dp/B018YSV5Q2/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=playboy comics&qid=1555136633&s=gateway&sr=8-1

just one book collecting a bunch of their stuff.

just to add some more context. Hugh Hefner is pretty known for pushing at the social boundaries and to push for womens rights and stuff. Where this mainly showed was in the comics in Playboy, some were just silly jokes but others were pushing very progressive ideas about sexuality.

I honestly thought it was just porn

Any recommendations for a girly comic or cartoon style?

Caught up on Duggan's Savage Sword. Didn't like the story, didn't like the dialogue, didn't like the art. Covers are amazing though.

Aaron's Barbarian on the other hand has good art and writing (and good covers, Ribic is no Ross but he's no slouch). Surprisingly one of Marvel's best titles at the moment. Not even giving Belit a chance because the interiors look like a webcomic.

yeah I don't like Savage Sword at all, somehow Yea Forums seems to have such a hateboner for Aaron that they automatically praise Duggan's SS, which is really terrible in comparison. And don't bother with Belit, it's fucking garbage. But the best Conan book goes to Avengers No Road Home, Zub has a lock on Conan.

I have No Road Home in my backlog so I will see if your claim holds true. In the meanwhile I'm enjoying Barbarian more than any other big 2 title. Maybe I'm blase about superheroes.

Savage Sword really is terrible though. It's shameful to have such scribly sophomoric art in the major relaunch of Conan, in a title that was famous for incredible artwork from Neal Adams, Barry Windsor Smith, John Buscema, among others. If they wanted to do it justice they would have got someone like Coipel, Opena, Dauterman or Del Mundo.

>Do we ever have buy threads? I really new to Yea Forums.
Dont you feel pathethic false flagging like this? At least it's been a week since the last one so you dont have to pretend like you aren't eager to spam buy threads... again.

You know DC is reprinting all that stuff right?

>new to /shelf/
welcome friend. take a card.

Attached: shelf card.png (497x335, 69K)

Barbarian art is pretty damn good. But I also think Marvel knows that it won't sell as well as Thor anymore, too many years of being off everyone's radar that it will be hard to get Conan to sell like Superheros. So why waste an artist who could be doing bigger selling books on Conan? It's a shame but that's the business.
idk, most of what OP posted is manga-like so he could be from Yea Forums

I feel I can tell generally who is who based on how long I've been posting in /shelf/, and this guy really seems like a new one. Which is always a good thing.

I'm pretty new to Yea Forums. I've only recently started more Yea Forums kind of stuff as I used to be heavily into anime, but haven't watched anything in a few years. I've started with the most common stuff lately, like Gravity Falls, SU, SRa, Hilda and Adventure Time. I've found that the story telling in eastern media has gotten kind of stale as I've read most of the stuff I'd enjoy since I've been doing that for about 24 years now. Only real thread I've even asked about comics and stuff here was one related to Sword of Glass

Attached: RCO012_w.jpg (1348x1972, 1.19M)

>It's a shame but that's the business.
Yup it is what it is. At least Barbarian art is good, like you said.

Should've started with better cartoons

That's real neato, I'm glad you shared your opinion with me.

Attached: 1545035420114.jpg (1044x1031, 109K)

Hilda is good, for other current cartoons I would say Carmen Sandiego, Love, Death and Robots, Young Justice and Castlevania are worth watching.

Most DCAU works are usually pretty good, even other non-DCAU shows like Static Shock were good

I'll look into those, already seen Castlevania. Though I can't say I'll watch Young Justice, I'm not a fan of cape stuff. I prefer adventure, fantasy, and some sci-fi.

Cartoons are for kids. Stick to Futurama and call it a day.

Love, Death and Robots is basically Heavy Metal with a name swap. check that out. I wish there was more sci-fi cartoons I have been enjoying genLOCK but the animation can drive people off.

ATLA, Samurai Jack, Megas XLR, Gargoyles, TCW
Here all of these are better than the starter ones you chose

>heavy metal
I can get into this, I have a soft spot for 80s stuff. As for Genlock, not gotten into it though i know it exists.

Seen all of these when I was younger. I'm 31 so those shows were airing prime time for me while I was in school.

Samurai Jack aired last year and TCW is getting a new Season

You should give the podcast a try. It's hard to really capture the delivery and comedic timing that made it great in comic form. Here's a scene that's also in the comic, for comparison:

Shelf threads always seem to be a bit more about bragging about scoring some stuff like an omnibus edition, or a deluxe/absolute edition or whatever Marble uses (those Epic collections?) and toys and stuff. I used to chime in on those sometimes when folks were asking questions about getting into comics there, but since I don't have any shelves and most of my purchases are digital (yes, purchases - not pirated books), the threads really don't feel like a place for me, whereas a general discussion about LCS, buying/consuming (versus pure pirating and never supporting a book), and books and series in general isn't a bad thing.

Oh you mean the new Samurai Jack. Yea that I might have to watch.

It's the continuation and finale of the old show, but yeah I guess it's new.

Thank you user, I swear it was longer tho

It's more like once or twice a month that lasts a week long

>Shelf threads always seem to be a bit more about bragging about scoring some stuff like an omnibus edition, or a deluxe/absolute edition or whatever Marble uses (those Epic collections
You're vastly underestimating how easy it is to get any of these that are in cycle if you have stone cash. It's not so much bragging as just posting buys generally.

*some cash

stop playing the victim. you got shit on, likely your questions were shit. Either way, don't play the victim

Graphic novels are for intellectual and sophisticated adults. Comics are for children. Manga is for weebs. Learn these terms well!

Cosmic Adventures of the 8th Grade, Street Angel, Meat Cake

The highest selling GN market is children iirc. I forget the author's name tho

Raina Telgemeier, and she has 2 books coming out this year. Her books sell so well that single handedly she will probably make comic sales grow this year.

That's the one. Thanks user

>ghosts
>baby sitters club
I saw these while I was looking for stuff to pick up, they were in the "all-ages" section with the SU and Avatar stuff.

Meat Cake doesn't look very girly

try Serenity Rose, it's by one of the creators of Invader Zim

Attached: serenity rose.jpg (900x1165, 118K)

I picked up volume 6 a couple of weeks ago for half off cover. Hell, the place I bought it had 2 copies, I think. And I had no idea there was a vol 7. To amazon I go!

I need to get back to reading Black Hammer and pick that LE up. Interesting book so far.

>Serenity Rose
I thought Jhonen was working on the movie?

the other creator Aaron Alexovich

ah.. Thanks, i'll try it

Sorry, son. I didn't get shit on, I just didn't find anything I really wanted to participate in with the shelf threads I checked out. And, I know you're not paying attention, but if you were, you'd read that I typed I answered the questions of others asking about recommendations/suggestions, etc.

Some of those shelf bros seemed more interested in talking about their purchases than in answering those questions or their responses were those out of date or old JPEG recommendation images.

Don't confuse my lack of interest with someone tricking, me feeling tricked, or actual harm/injury, real or imagined, being imposed against me or felt by me.

Bragging was, to an extent, the wrong word. And I have cash, but I tend to move around a lot and I've gotten used to living in small spaces. I don't even have room for DVDs so I've been getting rid of those (which I have in boxes stashed under shit) and just going all digital.

As I said, I'm buying digital comics and epubs, movies, or paying for streaming. I don't have physical space, it's not a finance things.

And sometimes I do go to LCS because I like the feel of books and then I buy stuff and gift it to someone or to my local library (where I also check out a lot of stuff).

Aaron Alexovich was a crew member on Invader Zim and wrote some of the comic, not one of its creators. Though I really do need to see if I can still get a copy of the Serenity Rose complete collection or if its gone out of print. I still have the original floppies somewhere.

On Amazon it says "Buy Hardcover for $1,105".

you can still buy it directly from his website though

I don't make the rules

This isn't out till October. About 1000 pages. Would it be a good pick? I wish there was a TPB split but I think I'm gonna preorder once I get my college exams over

Man, I wanted to like Swords of Glass more, but the later books kicked the pacing into high gear and finished before I even knew what was going on. Felt rushed.

It's a shitty run but if you're that one obsessed Namor fan then go for it.

its made by a girl

How is Monstress? I found a copy of the first trade for 600 yen, and it's hard finding comics here so I was debating grabbing it.

You should just pick up the first 25 issues for $5-10 and get it custom bound if you really fall in love with the material. It's largely self-contained, and that way you can enjoy it without financially supporting Byrne, which is also a plus.

>How is Monstress?
if you like world building stories it's great. There is a ton of lore laid down through the series, which for some people may seem like it's too slow but for me it's perfect. The art is fucking amazing though

Attached: Monstress12_.jpg (585x900, 527K)

It doesn't look feminine though

she's a hardcore feminist

Really? I'd heard Byrne's Namor was one of the definitive ones. Any other recs? And no, I'm not that other guy

I don't think Namor has ever been anything to write home about.

Mine comes today! This your first duck comic?

The first I own and apparently vol. 2 comes out in October. This collects 1-12 but not the in-between issues and the inside blank pages are orange.

Any anons got some Alien comics recommendations? Titles worth buying?

Aliens Dead Orbit
Aliens vs Predator omnibus

I haven't really liked any of the Alien comics I've read. I feel like nobody seems to know how to handle xenomorphs in a comic format.

There are two comics that might be worth reading mostly because they get brought up here relatively often. Aliens: Stronghold due to one fairly popular character in it, and Aliens: Labyrinth because it has some nauseating body horror. I'm not saying either comic is particularly good, though. Just saying that they have some of the most memorable Alien comic moments, and they get mentioned the most often whenever we have a xenomorph comic thread.

Thanks for the answers anons, I’m not super picky so I’ll check these out

Thanks for the insight. Have a lot of duck books, but I wanted a way to read Life and Times easily. Excited to read the behind-the-scenes write ups as well.

There are no behind-the-scenes write ups

People literally did "read it for the articles"
Think of almost any 1960s-1970s author, and they probably had a few short stories published in it

>The magazine has a long history of publishing short stories by novelists such as Arthur C. Clarke, Ian Fleming, Vladimir Nabokov, Saul Bellow, Chuck Palahniuk, P. G. Wodehouse, Roald Dahl, Haruki Murakami, and Margaret Atwood.
>The novel Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury, was published in 1953 and serialized in the March, April and May 1954 issues of Playboy.

Hunter S. Thompson had stuff published in it, and that alone makes Playboy a worthwhile publication.

>Savage Sword
And Duggan's gone after issue 5. He's going to be writing Conan on that "Avengers who Kill" series.
He's being replaced by Meredith Finch, the woman who ran New 52 Wonder Woman into the ground

It all comes tumbling down tumbling down tumbling down~

Is it hard to collect now?
What are some good playboy comics?

>It's largely self-contained, and that way you can enjoy it without financially supporting Byrne, which is also a plus.
Marvel doesn't do royalties like that. Work for hire.
It's one of the things Byrne praised back in his "I'm a company man, and that's great!" oped when Kirby was suing to get his art back.

Haven't picked up a ton recently, just these.

The Paper Girls book is gorgeous, even nicer than the first deluxe edition. Looks blue in the picture but it's reflective and looks blue or silver depending on how the light hits it.

The Fall 2019 DC Edelweiss catalog is up
edelweiss.plus/#catalogID=4348306&page=1
It's the first one 100% since the AT&T buyout. There are 158 items in it, and the Fall 2018 one had 191 items.
There are a few repeats of things that were in the Summer 2019 catalog too (like Luthor).
An observation I've made is that they seem to be moving away a bit from labelling collections as "1, 2, 3" etc. There are lots of smaller hardcovers in here too, which seems to be Didio's latest grand idea.

A couple unexpected things include
>Batman: Gotham Knights: Transference
>Collects Batman: Gotham Knights #1-12.
Something like that could have been Gotham Knights Book One, but it gets a subtitle instead.

>Batwoman: Elegy New Edition
This is a big "why?" They released a "Batwoman by Rucka" that included this and the arc that came after it a year or so ago

>Batwoman: Haunted Tides
>Collects Batwoman #0-11.
First half of the New 52 series

>Stargirl by Geoff Johns
>Collects: Stars and S.T.R.I.P.E. #0-14, JSA: All Stars #4, and stories from DCU Heroes Secret Files (1999) and DCU Villains Secret Files (1999)

Monstress isn't really that good even in terms of worldbuilding because the majority of the worldbuilding doesn't even happen in the story itself but are blurbs at the ends of chapters. The characters are boring and cliche if they're not irrelevant backstories and the lore itself is just typical seen and steampunk shit that you've seen before.

Fucking YES. I've got every Swamp Thing trade they've ever put out and this is a hole that has needed plugging for ages.

Namor has always been held up by its art. Bill Everett, Byrne, Jae Lee. The stories aren't half bad, but read the character because you love comics as a visual medium.

I stand corrected then. Would hate to support the pederast desu.

I would just hate to read it and find out it basically turns into Saga 2.0.

>Wonder Woman: Diana Prince: Celebrating the '60s Book One
I'm shocked, the omni was overpriced and the original trades before that went completely under the radar. Happy though, much more likely to pick this up. I'd love it if it were printed on Golden/Silver/Bronze Age reprint paper.

>Swamp Thing by Nancy A. Collins Omnibus
I can't believe this. How on earth is this an actual thing? Who exactly was asking for a Nancy A. Collins reprint? Why not a Veitch reprint instead? I am legitimately shocked.

>Who exactly was asking for a Nancy A. Collins reprint? Why not a Veitch reprint instead? I am legitimately shocked.
I am. Most of Veitch's stuff was collected once, a long time ago. He's a bit poisoned right now because he's a 9/11 truther.
Now, if they were collecting the Doug Wheeler stuff I would be confused.

Ok sounds fair. I'll hold off on the Namor pre-order for now. Thanks for the advice, same to the other user who responded

I don't think anyone cares about Rick Veitch's trutherism. It's a controversy. His comics are still beloved by a niche fanbase. I think the real problem with having a Rick Veitch Swamp Thing omnibus is that his run ends on an incomplete note, due to his infamously cancelled Swamp Thing 88. Because of this, if DC were to collect his run in omnibus format, they would either have to shoehorn in the Doug Wheeler Swamp Thing issues that complete his aborted storyline, which I don't think anyone wants, or they would have to bring back Rick Veitch to write new material for the omnibus, which would be problematic as his vision for the climax of his run contrast with Swamp Thing continuity after him leaving the title.

Meant to say it's NOT a controversy in my original post.

yes, but you see the dc ones are not hardcovers. i prefer hardcovers. before i went and paid through the teeth i checked various sources the ones dc are printing are soft covers

Seconding Street Angel and adding Anya's Ghost and I Kill Giants

>>Batwoman: Elegy New Edition
>still TPB
>Never had a HC
fucking why? The rest of her run has nice hardcovers and I got this one softcover breaking it up.

>Monstress isn't really that good even in terms of worldbuilding because the majority of the worldbuilding doesn't even happen in the story itself but are blurbs at the ends of chapters.
that's not true at all, most of it happens in the comic, those blurbs are just extra stuff tacked on the end and usually not relevant to the story.

>>Green Lantern/Green Arrow by Denny O' Neil & Mike Grell Vol. 1
why? They just put out that lovely deluxe edition that collects all of it in a beautiful hardcover....well I guess some people just want paperbacks I guess, but damn they really shouldn't, the deluxe is fucking beautiful.

>that's not true at all, most of it happens in the comic

The fuck are you smoking? There's fuck all in the story that isn't explained in the blurbs and what is there is mentioned in the comic often brought up and then never mentioned again or is just a nebulous thing that you can find in pretty much any other YA fantasy novel that the average person would take for granted.

>Justice League International Book 1: Born Again

So I guess they're abandoning the omnibus

are you having a stroke? I can't tell what your problem is.

>it's an user accidentally buys an omnibus episode

This reminds me, I wanted to pick up the Hilda hardcovers.

>Support romcoms
I do...here's hoping my copy of Sunstone is in today

I think I'm actually more shocked that Brave & the Bold omnibus 3 was cancelled, but a Nancy A Collins Swamp Thing omnibus was greenlit.

I just cannot believe that the latter has more potential for sales than the former, even with a tv show in the works.

I still recommend buying it off eBay. Bryne is worth reading, if not necessarily worth supporting.

To be honest, the idea of supporting writers/artists to finish unresolved storylines is so appealing. There's already limited mass market appeal, but offering the chance to read abandoned storylines is enough to make me buy any ridiculous hardcover. Remember how coveted the shitty .jpg scans of Swamp Thing 88 were? I know fans who actually printed them out and included them in their custom binds of the run.

>I just cannot believe that the latter has more potential for sales than the former, even with a tv show in the works.
The Swamp Thing bronze age omnibus was the best selling "Age" omnibus DC ever printed. I'm surprised it took this long to get another one.

those are shit ones though

Went for a few more books than usual, this week

can you tell me more about Federation? I like Bande-Dessinee Sci-Fi

Do the US not get an omnibus or is it just preference? am curious

I only know Namor from Marvels and that one meme about his penis being small

There's a huge group of alien civilizations that invited humanity to join the federation. All we have to do is pass a small, simple test.
Too bad, we failed.

Haven't read it yet but I was interested and the cover looks nice

Get the golden age omnibus that's coming out instead, that is when Namor was truly interesting and relevant

Zdarsky's current Invaders is doing some interesting stuff with Namor

read it again. You have flashbacks sequences, you have dialogue exposition, you have the events happening on the pages. All lore building. Read it again

>read it again

Oh I have. A few times by now. And each time I get less and less interested in it because of how surface level a lot of the stuff actually is.

Meanwhile, we can't even get a second volume of the paperback.

well, it apparently is good enough to keep you coming back

>good enough to come back

No. When I dislike something I give it a few chances so that I have an informed opinion on it and why I dislike it so that people can't say 'well you just haven't read it enough or you didn't get through the pleb filter'. My interest was minimal to begin with and it just went downhill from there.

>get an omnibus
I'm pretty sure they separated it into two volumes, and the only way to get both is to pre-order a box set, or vol 1 and vol 2 separately.

Aliens: Salvation and Aliens: Incubus are good

That deluxe edition only contains the (classic) issues by Neal Adams. After those the title was illustrated by Mike Grell, and I don't think these were ever collected before. So I'm hyped!
Also it's a hardcover.

I've been reading the new Invaders through storytime threads. I'm a big fan except of the continuing retcon of Xavier into an asshole. I'm mostly looking into the solo stuff because I really like the Kirby version from FF, and other Silver Age creators' takes. I'll take a look at the GA omnibus. I like getting early stuff and I didn't know it was getting a new print. Thanks.

Oh shit. I didn't realize. Thanks, i am down for more Grell GA

There were no retcons needed to make Professor X an asshole. Go back and read them he was always an ass

What's the middle long box? It looks neat.

He wasn't a fucking supervillain who wanted to create more mutants to propogate Homo Superior. He was harsh sometimes to students, maybe, but that was about it until the 2000s/2010s. I blame Ultimate

Avengers World was so close to being great

I thought it was pretty good, for being a bunch of side-stories during Hickman's run. What didn't you like about it?

Random theorizing here
>Moore's Swamp Thing is getting Absolute's now
>When those Absolute's finish, they might put out an omnibus and phase out the softcovers
>That could be followed by a Veitch/Wheeler omni to bridge the gap in hardcovers to Collins.
>The Millar/Moz stuff is large enough for an omni the size of Collins
Then again, DC doesn't like to phase out softcovers that still sell, which is why they've never condensed Sandman into larger softcover volumes, and Moore always sells.

>tfw just made a manga order that already brings me well over my budget this month
Oh well.

>He wasn't a fucking supervillain
No, and he isn't in Invaders either. He is classic arrogant Xavier who doesn't think enough about the conciquences

Did you buy that Hellstorm by Ellis "omnibus" for the unpublished Satana pages?

I never said I disliked it, it just never did for me what Hickmans main stuff did. Not sure why

>The Fade Out: The Complete Collection instead of HC
Still waiting it to arrive
>Hellboy Omnibus 1
Same as above
>Tex Willer 3
Is the Paper Girls book bigger than the TPB?

DCAU is good, but I don't think it's for everyone. A lot of it tends to be kind of "cold", for lack of a better word.

You think they'll do a final Library Edition to collect the things like Silent Sea, Midnight Circus, Hellboy in Mexico shorts, etc? Basically the stuff that isn't in existng Libraries. My gut tells me no since all that stuff is in "omnibuses" now. I'll probably just get Short Story Collection 1 since I can live without Silent Sea

>Hellboy
YIKES

Comics are the equivalent of TV series and graphic novels are the equivalent of movies.

No user

Not really. A limited series comic and a graphic novel can be the same length. You can't say that about a season of TV versus a movie. A graphic novel is just a comic released all at once. It could be 50 pages like Hellboy Midnight Circus, it could be 600 pages like Blankets.

Comics come out periodically, issue 1, issue 2, et cetera. They can be collected later in a trade like Watchmen, but Watchmen isn't a graphic novel because it wasn't released all at once. That's the difference. GN's aren't serialized.

>Kingdom Come Deluxe
my cracker

>Johns Green Lantern Book Two
>One and Two have 400 pages each
How many books will there be of those, holy shit? They'll literally need like 9 books to get all of the Omnis in there. By the time they ge to 4 or 5, they'll cancel that shit anyway, won't they?

Yes, but not massively. Maybe a little over an inch taller?

>Nimona

Congratulations on giving money to someone who thinks you're a sexist piece of shit because you walked into a comics shop.

How is that box set exactly one thousand pages? And why is the second volume of the Green Lantern more expensive than the first despite having the same number of pages?

If it makes you rustled I'll gladly do anything.

Monstress was one of the most boring things I've tried to read. Holy hell. Ugly, too. So many wonderful shades of brown. Huge bummer because I was kind of looking forward to it based on the blurb.

Paper Girls, too, but at least I was able to finish the first volume. Can't say the same for Monstress. It was too much setup and I just didn't care enough to keep reading.

Who doesn't like comic book events and tie-ins?

Are there any good Green Lantern comics that focus on other characters beside Hal, John, or Kilowog? Bzzd sounds cool

Events are fine. They're short, a lot happens, lots of characters show up, it's over, new status quo, wa la. Tie-ins are infuriating. Sure, 1 or 2 books. Like Fear Itself for instance. Makes sense for Iron Man tie-ins because Fraction was writing both books. Did Fear Itself need 150 tie ins? Probably not.

Watch Tangled: the Series/Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure. It's a TV sequel to the Disney Princess movie Tangled, with the same voice actors as the film, original songs by the film's composer Alan Menken, an experienced crew with many in the industry since the 90's, and a plot based on realistic human emotions and political conflicts, as well as mysterious magical cosmic lore.

It is made for little girls instead of Yea Forums manchildren, so there are lighter, more moral-based episodes, and some of it's pretty weak, but even those advance the characters and can be entertaining.

Don't forget they deliberately chose Broadway singers for Alan Menken's songs

Just got Mind MGMT Omnibus 1, which is great because it has all the extras that were only in the floppies and not in the original trades. It also amusingly has a 700 (that's right) point connect-the-dots on the last page. How much entertainment can one book provide?

I could imagine myself supporting that.
John Ostrander's Suicide Squad, Loki Journey into Mystery.

Superior Foes of Spider-Man is a must-read.

What are you guys reading? I recently just finished 52 and I thought it was going to be epic but it was really just underwhelming. Most of the stories have really long setups and the payoffs don't really seem to be of worth. I was expecting a lot from the Dibny story and then the ending just suddenly came out of the left field. Makes sense for the character but still.

Tomasi's Green Lantern Corps was pretty focused on other characters, though mostly Guy and Kyle.

Yeah, I don't get it at all. It's pretty much a super collector's item with that price and level if relevance, but the comic fandom is so small and there's no hype about it so I have no idea who actually wants to pay that much for it.

I've got nothing but real books to read, I reached the state of "I've read everything I own at least once" a while ago so now I'm just playing the waiting game.

Reading Waid Daredevil. I have it split betw 9 hardcovers. I just finished the first block of it, and I'm about to read the second. It's fun stuff

I started reading Hellblazer, only about 20 issues in but I'm really digging it. I'm also reading Jiraishin, about half way through and it's real good. And Immortal Hulk, last time I take recommendations from Yea Forums.

Buffy comics. Not the season 8 onwards stuff, the terrible tie in books that came out while the show aired.

They're very bad.

I really like it, but I'm a big Cullen Bunn fan in general, so your mileage may vary.

Part one of Life and Times came in. It's a book I reread enough that I wanted a version that's just the story.

The coloring is just disgusting. It looks like a big brown digital mess to me.

The Dreaming was just OK until this recent arc, issues 7 and 8 are as perfect as comics can get though. Lucifer is pretty great too. I really want to like Books of Magic but it's pretty fucking boring, and I dropped House of Whispers after 2 issues cause it was a fucking mess.

No, and I would honestly suggest them because of all the extra interviews and art you get.

Wanted to share, i have a lot of series i regret buying and am looking for new purchases if anyone have recommendations it'd be appreciated.

I'll probably just stick to the Lucifer paperbacks and the Sandman HCs then

It'd be easier to make recommendations if I knew what on that shelf you regret and what you don't.

Also just received these

Dreaming's had pretty good art. The latest two issues have had a different artist, but have also focused more on Daniel himself.
I haven't read House of Whispers or BoM.
Lucifer is better than the last thing it got as a series, and the art has been pretty good if you like Max Fiumara's style. The book is really self-conscious though because the writer knows that he can't top or really continue Carey's story, so it's just telling a story that is of dubious canonicity.

Just stop buying Batman, problem solved

The tom king batman run left a sour taste in my mouth and exept for the miller's daredevil run i'm not a fan of what i've read from marvel but i was thinking of buying the marvel knight omnibus from loeb/sale

Good Marvel stuff would be the Moon Knight epic collections.
Get the rest of Moore's Swamp Thing.

Why don't you get the rest of Lucifer and Sandman?

That's my plan, i bought way too much and even have a lot of floppies from the 70's, i'm now looking for other properties entirely

Where did you get that CoIE Deluxe and how much did you pay for it?

I suck at finishing runs but it's on my list for sure

Not him but the first arc was nice, the new character Spurrier created is annoying but he did a good job juggling the huge cast and most of the other characters were accurately written. And the art is fantastic, Evely is one of the best artists around. Last two issues have been... not good.

>Kirby Thor ECs
>Kirby FF ECs
>Machine Man by Kirby and Ditko
>Shield by Steranko
>Waid FF

I found it at Indigo(canada) and i payed 35$ for it

>Last two issues have been... not good.
shit taste man, the last two issues were 10/10 pure poetry. Everything flowed so well and matched the art perfectly.

Thanks, will do

Thought about buying the Marvel Knights Omni myself. I was asking in earlier threads whether someone has it and can recommend it but noone has responded yet. Can't find all the single paperbacks so I'm holding out till I get someone's opinion on the Omni here

NP. Also the Loeb/Sale omni is a decent shout. I have DD Yellow and Spider-Man Blue and they're both great. I haven't read the other two tho. Not sure about the binding quality, that said

Nah. I'm not a fan of his use of Rose, the fact that Rose just pushes an immortal stranger God to deflower her daughter, the fact that Daniel fucking kills people for looking at his girlfriend with lust in their eyes. This arc should've been 1 issue long because the plot is fine but characterization is crap and he tries too hard to be epic and match the original feel of early Vertigo but fails.

so your argument is "not muh". Rose is telling the perfect tragic love story, she set her daughter up cause it's all she knows what to do. And Dream is an Endless, and when they get troubled things happen to the world in weird ways, that is totally in keeping with Sandman.

>so your argument is "not muh".
This isn't capeshit, there's a reason a lot of people were against the very idea of more Sandman titles
>Rose is telling the perfect tragic love story, she set her daughter up cause it's all she knows what to do.
Not well executed
>And Dream is an Endless, and when they get troubled things happen to the world in weird ways, that is totally in keeping with Sandman.
Not what hapenned the previous numerous times. And remember, I'm not talking about the random calamities around the world, I'm talking about Daniel making a group of guys walking into the ocean to drown because they wanted to fuck his girlfriend. Y'know, there's a reason Dream changed in Sandman but Spurrier writes him the same except more clueless because he doesn't understand he is still Dream of The Endless, third oldest sibling. Theres a lot he can do with The Dreaming, no point in making the series into Sandman 2.

If I could punch you to death I would. Get the fuck out of Yea Forums you memester.

>there's a reason a lot of people were against the very idea of more Sandman titles
Gaiman wasn't against it, he hand picked everyone cause he thought these stories should be told.

But I guess it all comes down to different tastes. The Dreaming 8 was the best single issue comic I have read in a long long time. I had to read it multiple times cause it just worked perfect for me

Gaiman being against it wouldn't have changed shit though, he doesnt own the characters so he can't block anyone from using them. At least while he's still alive creators will still politely ask him for his blessing but theres a reason he said he wish he owned the characters.
Instead of saying the issue is perfect and 10/10 and the single best issue why dont you tell me what actually worked for you? Because to me the new arc feels more like Sandman 2 than The Dreaming and I'd much rather see new characters or underused characters than a subpar continuation to Rose Walker's story.

I have been saying what worked for me. this arc has flowed and it reads like poetry, every line is written with that in mind. There are some lines that just hit perfectly for a tragic love story like the one about how his emotions are becoming all edges and cutting everything, that is perfect for a tragic love poem. The art is stellar too and it is breathy and flows so smoothly with the story.

>he doesn't own the characters so he can't block anyone from using them

Yeah but if DC ever wants him to come back and write more they keep him happy.

Besides it isn't even like Sandman spin offs are a new thing, forget " Watchmen Babies" from the Simpsons DC actually published Sandman babies

DId he write anything after he wrote sandman

actual Sandman related stuff?
He did the Death minis, the Endless Nights, and Dream Hunters things.
and a few short stories for the Vertigo winter anthologies

That sale came out of the blue, already had an order in the mail but I figured I’d pick up the Masterworks Spider-Woman. Then the next day I couldn’t stop myself from picking up some Masterworks Iron Man volumes.

Wasted the free shipping on the first order...I wonder if they’ll lump them together and waive the shipping if I ask? Has anyone ever spoken with IST before?

Attached: A2A826AC-CB6C-4622-8070-BD99D2C8DB69.jpg (2834x4001, 761K)

1602 and a few more DC stuff like Books of Magic, oh and The Graveyard Book which is a kinda gothic retelling of The Jungle Book and is great. But he mainly moved to novel and he's better at those i think.

Did the other user mistype? 3% seems like a tiny amount to be bulk buying this much. Was it 30%?

are they ever continuing those Spider-woman masterworks?
Even comixology only has the fourteen issues (first ten, then a few randoms) of that original series on it..

Are you unfamiliar with IST? It's an additional 3% on top of 30-42% off that they do already. That amounts to a few extra bucks off at least. I can't imagine anyone is making IST orders that aren't at least between $50-$100 at a time anyway.

Hard to say, masterworks volumes can go dormant for years at a time. Spider-Woman will hopefully get another volume down the road but I had it on my list for a long time and I had reached a point where it was one of the last masterworks on my list.

The masterworks were 53% off

Also, a lot of the DM covers are even cheaper. spider-woman DM would have been 63% off but I don’t collect those covers.

Here is the final price with sale code applied.

Wait, Marvel thinks that a sub 300 page hardcover is worth $75 USD at release?

HC masterworks have always been this way . Who knows why

Am Britbong. With the shipping charges on top, I'd have more to pay anyway, so I never use IST. I should reconsider that

You seem... comically upset.

Thanks duck senpai.

Never pay full price for a Masterworks, the bigger volumes now retail for $100!

Wouldn’t you make up for it a bit with the conversion though? I think the pound is pretty strong to the dollar at the moment.

Yeah, that's true. Fuck it, I'll do some proper price comparisons at some point

You pay a premium for one of the most fantastic products on Earth.
I'd rather spend $100 on a 500 page masterwork than $100 on a shit 996 page DC Omnibus.

I'll probably buy volume 1.
I don't think they released this one here so I'll probably have to import. Animal'z is probably the other one released here, I don't know which stuff was printed in those Heavy Metal comics.
I'm impressed at the amount of european stuff they've been releasing here. Sure I love some capshit, few mangas and Vertigo but now I have other stuff like pic related(its missing Joe Sacco's Journalism), more autobiographic, but my wishlist just keeps getting bigger.
Especially now with Lone Sloane being released in a few days. I do plan on getting Valerian, Blacksad and Shangri-la by Mathieu Bablet. Elric and Requiem look amazing too but the price is kinda high so I'll wait for some promotion.
I also have a few italian comics like Tex, Dylan Dog, Julia Kendall, Zagor and Nick Raider. These are like crack/heroin to me especially Dylan Dog and J Kendall.
Fuck me, I need to get the Lucifer books but its so pricey for me. Also, are those Sandman the 30th Anniversary edition?

Lol. If you were talking about Omnibuses, sure. But we’re talking masterworks here. They’re not even oversized . And unless it’s super niche , one day they will just take three of those masterworks, stick them together, make them oversized, and call it an omnibus.

Who are DC's most evil villains?

Why is that us omnibus have dustcover? Hate that shit and the actual cover usually looks worse

Geoff Johns

Geoff Johns

What did he ever do that was worse than Bendis?

>blame guy who is responsible for Hanna Barbera crossovers, Mark Russell's career, getting Gene Luen Yang to write books is bad
>don't blame guy who just makes everything into silver age but with less creativity and limbs

Bendis just writes like shit and adds terrible OCs to the mix. He's never done lasting damage like completely rewriting every aspect of lore on runs he does. Green Lantern and Shazam! are effectively fucked because of Johns.

He left for Hollywood and broke my little fanboy heart. Then I cried.

Bendis has written good issues.
Johns never has

Didio recently cancelled the Bronze Age Omnibuses in favor of smaller collections that will add up to more $ per page.

How did he fuck them up?

destroyed the entire Young Justice generation, made the JSA franchise circlejerk his dead sister, made Flash into an endless rogues loop, made Green Lanterns into space care bears, fucked up Justice League and all related properties so bad DC needed to reboot, again

Johns doesn't want any books that Johns didn't write to be collected at all
its almost a vanity publisher at this point

>Johns/Bendis/Didio hate bonering
>in /shelf/
For fucks sake can we keep this shit out of here?

He's the one that brought Bendis in.

>Johns doesn't want any books that Johns didn't write to be collected at all
Johns has no executive power. The current co-publishers are Didio and Lee.
Johns was coo and president of Film, then he got fired when Justice League flopped.

>Parallax is no longer Hal gone crazy, all of his actions are now justified because a spooky space bug had him do everything -- undermining a decade's worth of character development and soul searching because Johns hated everything after the Silver Age run
>Rings are now powered by avatars
>Yellow Power Rings now operate on fear instead of another facet of willpower, which makes no sense whatsoever since Guy Gardner had one for a short time
>Black Hand now fucks dead bodies in his spare time
>Black Hand is now inept and didn't build his fuck-off-GL device, he swiped it from Atrocitus
>Integrated a throwaway Alan Moore story into the lore. Now Ysmault is in Sector 666 and Atroctius is the big dickhead that got him killed
>Hal is now obsessed over his father
>Hal's niece from The Spectre run is retconned out of existence, as was anything that happened in that run
>Hal's family has changed completely. Jack went from being the coolest guy to the biggest dickhead. Jim is just a mouthbreather now
>Had Carol divorce because he wanted her to mash privates with Hal
>Rainbow Corps in general
>The Guardians piss out another "IT'S NOT WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF OA THIS SECRET WILL DOOM US ALL" every other day
>Kyle Rayner gets cucked from being the Torchbearer and the role gets passed onto another passing joke that Moore wrote decades ago
>Killed off / wrote out most Kyle Rayner's villains because he didn't like them
>Brought back the Guardians only to kill them all off in the end
>Suggested everyone does Futures End in the first place, letting him be a smug prick and write what was effectively an ending to the series while leaving the other writers who had to pick up where he left off up shit creek
>Had his hands all over the movie script and production, then disowned it when it was critically panned

No, I mean what I said. Any masterworks is of a better build quality than any omni dc has put out.

I’m not defending Johns (hadn’t even mentioned him), only responding to the post asking me why I don’t like Didio. I don’t care about Johns.

It’s a simple answer because I don’t read modern comics, I only collect older material. Didio has crippled one of the most promising hardcover programs in DC history in order to squeeze more money from the fan base, worse he cancelled it NOT due to lack of sales BUT because the sales were strong. They reasoned that smaller collections priced worse would be better because DC knows the collectors are over a barrel. Also, DC fucked themselves decades ago with the contracts developed in the late 70’s and 80’s.

DC constantly changes direction with their collections, any buyfag/shelf enthusiast has been a victim of this.

Didio and Lee are the publishers at DC. Didio's the one who usually talks about why something is cancelled when it happens, and confirms when something isn't cancelled.
They technically are above the VP that directly runs the department.
I think Lee is currently the CCO (chief creative officer) too after Johns got demoted to regular writer.

...

That’s Fine. Now you have to acknowledge that there are not only two products on the market one being marvel master work and the other being a DC omnibus. You could be comparing that marvel master work to a marvel omnibus and by doing that you’d see the masterwork doesn’t make any sense being priced the way it is

>>Hal's niece from The Spectre run is retconned out of existence, as was anything that happened in that run
This is always weird to me because while DeMatties wrote the Spectre run, Johns was the dude who made Hal the Spectre in the first place.

Johns doesn't care what others write. Johns even retcons his own shit sometimes.

Never ends to facinate me how all of Yea Forums loves him and /shelf/ hates him. I always found him mediocre. Nothing to love nothing to hate, just standard capeshit

Hal as the Spectre was an attempt to salvage the "he's a villain now" status quo. It didn't really work out, and the sales were very weak.
It doesn't really read like a "Spectre" series either. I actually thought it was a bit of a retread of Dematteis' Doctor Fate (similar character beats and themes).
It even has the same title for the final issue
>The Beginning of the Beginning
vs
>The Beginningless Beginning/The Endless End
It had nice art from young Sook and P Craig Russel though, and eventually Breyfogle.
Then JMD repeated some of the same plot points when he wrote that New 52 Phantom Stranger series

Fucking saved. Thanks GLfag.

/shelf/ and Yea Forums have very different opinions on a lot of things...mostly because /shelf/ actually reads comics.

Brave thing to say considering how many shelves I've seen in these threads with Geoff Johns comics on them.

If by brave you mean ignorant. I don't know how he can say that unless it's his first week on Yea Forums and first day on /shelf/. There are people all over this board and general that like and dislike Johns, imagine that!

There is normally a lofe for Johns on Yea Forums but in /shelf/ there is a more critical opinion, i think deserved. He gets so much lofe cause he is the first time people read a charecter, and that is unfair

What do you expect? Lots of brainlets in the world, and they all read Johns because that's all they can comprehend

He's just the usual hivemind pushing retard that comes to Yea Forums to find his little communities inside communities.

hey OP put the word "shelf" in your post next time. a assume most of us have that word filtered to the top of the catalog so we can always find it

>the same typo twice
How tho?

Where to go to commission artists? Don't have an artist in mind

none of my shit has johns name on it.

Me being a shitty phoneposter. Sorry for not rereading my post better

I only have Flash: Rebirth and I thought it was a fuckin mess. Should I bother with his run?

They're putting her in a Hulu cartoon with Dazzler, which I think makes a live action appearance less likely. Chelsea Handler is involved, which is a huge red flag for me; your mileage may vary.

flash rebirth is basically an event comic and event comics are always a mess. just read his run online and see for yourself, or take the word of the next autist to reply to your post saying "johns sucks lol" which is probably what you want to happen anyway

Do you mean Johns? People like his Wally stuff, and that Flash: Rebirth mini was EVS and Didio trying to recreate the success from bringing Hal back.

This is one of the reasons people hate Johns. Instead of admitting he wrote a meh or shitty story you'd rather make up some bullshit excuse for him. His fanboys are a cult, mentally ill fucks.

So I bought This brand new from Amazon a year ago because Simonson Is my favourite and the price was right. I haven’t actually opened it until today and when I opened it I found a surprise on the inside

Attached: E4A31BDB-4C99-4895-AF1D-3A2608686979.jpg (4032x3024, 2.52M)

His autograph. Maybe the photo doesn’t do it justice but to my eyes it’s clearly a graphite pencil, not ink or printed at the factory or anything like that. Why does this brand new book have Walter Simonson‘s autograph inside of it ? Was he on the assembly line signing them as they came off the press? Did he sign x amount of them and they sent me one of the signed copies by accident? Really puzzled

Attached: 00A08FD3-EA41-43CC-BA92-7258AC28B94D.jpg (4032x3024, 2.09M)

There's lots of evidence that Flash Rebirth was pushed more by EVS and Didio than Johns.

I got no big excuse for why the rest of his Barry Flash stuff is bad to unremarkable

>Instead of admitting he wrote a meh or shitty story you'd rather make up some bullshit excuse for him
>thinking I'm a johnsfag
It was a shitty story. I specifically said that people liked his Wally stuff. His Barry stuff was horseshit because it led into a reboot.

it must be not new, send it back

No, that's just your delusion. Geoff Johns is not a freelance writer, he was one of DC's big boys and he WROTE that comic with his frequent collaborator EVS. The fact that you're pushing this retarded made up idea that he didn't actually write the damn thing but they just used his name on the cover is retarded.
I'm not even going to say his Barry stuff as horseshit because those first several issue of the ongoing were nice, but rebrith sucked massive balls and not because of the reboot, that happened two years after.

It was sold by Amazon, it was shrink wrapped, it’s inperfecy condition. And it was a year ago. Even if I could return it I wouldn’t

In perfect*

what? i didn't say he didn't write it. I was saying that EVS and Didio were the big guys pushing for it to happen and they convinced Johns

Johnstards should be gassed

Gas all dcshits
Dumb johnsfag

Didio transcends.I love him for all his Hanna Barbarra push

Walt Simonson is one of the best Yea Forums creator ever, I will fight anyone that says otherwise. good find

Do you have any theory why he would sign a brand new copy? My first thought was "maybe it was a small print run, so he signed them all before they were wrapped", but I can't find any mention of them being signed in other people's reviews of the book.

Shit I'm an idiot. It's in the product description

>The first printing of this book will contain a bound-in signature plate, signed by Walter Simonson! Included in every copy of the book at no extra charge, and strictly limited to the first printing!

yeah some printings come signed. It's why I ended up bying Shame a couple times...

Question for the thread. I've already got the Kirby Thor Epics, so which other Thor ones are worth buying?

Do you already have the Simonson run in paperback or omnibus format?

...

>All of Robert Rodi Thor
>Paul Jenkins
>JMS
>Simonson

Yep. I have the Visionaries. Looking specifically for other Thor ECs atm

A Kingdom Lost and Runequest make a nice pair. I’ve always had a soft spot for the DeFalco run, so War of the Pantheons and In Mortal Flesh were fantastic.

Thanks, user. Making a note of these

Oh, and if you enjoy the DeFalco EC's you'll be pleased to know a 3rd volume is on the way later this year.

Super underrated run incidentally, a victim of poor timing more than anything. DeFalco had to follow Simonson and his take was decidedly retro, even the art (by Frenz) was Kirby-esque...in a time when the future-Image guys were bringing in EXTREME belts and bullets style. Thor faced the Celestials, Egyptian death gods, the Juggernaut, Annihilius, all manner of hero from Quasar to Ghost Rider to the New Warriors and even the dreaded Mongoose!

It was too late for the Bronze Age and too early for the retro revival and kirby pastiches that came into favor years later.

It'll take a while for me to get them all, but I'll go chronologically with the ones you've suggested then. DeFalco's sounds like my kinda thing. Thanks again for the help!

Sounds good. Tread carefully with the other two (A Kingdom Lost / Runequest) if you're not familiar with them. Together they comprise Moench's run but A Kingdom Lost is decidedly stronger material than Runequest.

I suppose that's a true statement for most writer's, with the last part of their run always dragging but I figured it's worth mentioning.

>Thor faced the Celestials, Egyptian death gods, the Juggernaut, Annihilius, all manner of hero from Quasar to Ghost Rider to the New Warriors and even the dreaded Mongoose!
Picked up.

Jason Aaron unless you're an incel.

That sounds amazing. I want to get Simonson's Thor for years now but that recoloring kills it for me.

>but that recoloring kills it for me
I can't imagine how someone like you functions in day-to-day life. I hope things get better for you!

Meh. If that's your only reasoning, that's not promising.
Not that user but the old colouring's pretty nice. I'd recommmend the Visionaries to anyone who can find em for a good price

Got my tax return recently, and due to work issues, I can't spend it on the vacation I usually do. So a lot of it is going into books. Here's the first wave, more to come.

What a garbage shitpost. That recolor is a disgusting hackjob, I really don't understand why anyone would defend it. Does marvel pay you?

>I refuse to purchase this story in any form because a bad recolor of it exists
It's not like you have to get the new version, you can still find the original if you care that much.
But you won't even try to look, will you? No, you have to be ANGRY. ANGRY ABOUT MARVEL.

>paying for products you don't want
Welcome to /shelf/, where you only buy things you think are worth owning.

>>I refuse to purchase this story in any form because a bad recolor of it exists
But that's not what the user implied. They probably want the old colouring which is either in now-usually-expensive TPBs, or a hard to find, expensive omnibus.
The best options are the TPBs or waiting to see when they eventually put the stuff in Epic Collections, which could take a few years. They're not being that unreasonable

>in any form
No, just the recolored garbage.

>the recolor isn't worth owning
>the original coloring is available in the Thor Visionaries books
>the original coloring is not worth owning because the recolor exists
I'm having some trouble following your line of reasoning user.

There are certain comics, particularly ones that experimented with odd color palettes and art styles, that really suffer under digital recoloring.

Simonson's Thor would be the perfect example...if not for The Killing Joke. It's not enough to ruin the experience for me but I can sympathize with those that feel it does. No point in getting hostile about it.

Nice, hope you enjoy it. If you liked the original Kirby/Lee run I can't imagine you'll dislike the DeFalco/Frenz run.

I'd show them but im still waiting on Judge Dredd The complete Brian Bolland and The complete Carlos Ezquerra volumes to arrive

Is Kiss Number romance book that's more drama or comedy? Looks cute.

For me the story ends with Dragon Ball.

Why are you so triggered on a recoloring opinion you massive faggots. DC did the same shit with Neil Adam's Batman which sucks as well and the original ones are hard to get.


Based except for all that new 52 and rebirth Batman.

Neal*

It's a nice teen romance/teen angst/slice of life thing. I've been reading a lot of YA graphic novels lately because A) some of them are really good, and B), I've gotten a little burnt out on super-heroes and action stuff in recent years. Never hurts to have some variety in your comics diet.

I dont get what you're trying to say here, everyone shits on the Neal recolors. Back to my original question, are you a marvel shill?

I'm the guy who originally complained about the recolor. I can't stand them.

>are you a marvel shill?
Yes user. Marvel can afford to pay someone to shitpost on 4channel. That's how successful they are.

Based.
