i bought KSD cap marvel run int he trade paperback, i think it was the first 6 issues in her run. its tied in shittiness with dk2 for me. i have crisis, but i find it to be really boring and long.

i bought the trade of scott snyders N52 swamp thing, which i think is the first 12 issues. it was like 50 bucks, but its worth it.

can we discuss our pull list on /shelf/? or is /shelf/ only for trades/collected editions/omnibuses?

how do i make a pull list

I only buy collected editions, yes.

Sorry buddy, the Arbiter of /shelf/ has spoken and that shelf is clearly too cursed for mortal eyes to witness.

/shelf/ is for everything comics. Even though I mostly by collected editions, I like to pull a few titles, usually ones I like the covers for, just as an excuse to go into my LCS and keep my ear to the ground. Currently following
>Captain America (Alex Ross covers)
>Immortal Hulk (Alex Ross covers and it's actually really good)
>Conan the Barbarian (Ribic covers and I love Conan, and this is actually a very good and slept on title)
>Fantastic Four (Ribic covers and it's pretty good)
and finally
>Heavy Metal Magazine

That isn't a pull list. A pull list means the LCS holds books for you

Yeah, it got me to start reading manga. It's been basic bitch stuff like Asano Yotsuba, Nichijou, Berserk, and Tezuka's work, but it's nice to experience another spectrum of the medium.

I have pretty good memories of that run, mostly because it's one of the first comics i seriously read, right now i have some problems with it mostly with some of Quesada art but it's ok overall

I totally understand that. In my other passionate hobbies, like music, I just don't operate that way, so it's kind of a weird experience to really start from the top in something.

I'll probably post a pic on Wensday, but I'm only gonna pull:

Mainly because I spent most of my monthly floppy budget on getting back issues last week.

Binders are in chronological order, at least of what I have. Not everything from the Austen stuff though, just the nicer covers the rest of that run are in boxes.

I think it's pretty good. Not amazing. I rate Hulk and Conan higher. Some issues have been spectacular (#2 and #5 come to mind) and #6 thru #9 had terrific artwork from Aaron Kuder. The complaint I have is that the art team keeps changing. I wish Pitchelli or Kuder would stay on the title for the long haul.

I'm actively buying more comics, so that's good.

>What comic do I regret spending money on?

Cates' run on Venom. I was optimistic and excusing crap saying "just gotta give him time. See what his idea is." Every proceeding issue left me feeling emptier than the last, while contrasting how I could find a lot to easily love or at least have fun with in my other Venom finds. The deeper I followed the Classic Venom and grew to love Venom more, the more I hated Cates' run. The more I rubbed 2 brain cells over Cates' run, the more I hated Cates' run. It's to the point that even Stegman's art has been tainted for me, gives me harsh recoil feelings. Which is too bad since he's a great artist.

Luckily, I got the Rex trade on Black Friday so it was half off and I managed to get my money back after I sold it. Can't say the same for the issues though. But by that point I cared more about getting rid of them vs making back my money.

I'm just waiting for the suffering to end.

All-Satr Superman and Joe the Barbarian sucked and I decided I won’t read another Morrison book

So for all the mexibros, earlier today the first Sandman Absolute was on sale, you could had gotten it for 25 usd, but don't despair, now THe Authority first absolute is at the same price, oh and The Fourth World Omnibus was at 40usd but is gone too

Not that user but I think Grant sort of used too much meta stuff in his books.
Like his stuff better when it's all simple and laid out. He should be the standard for Cape or cape-related writers IMO.

are you me?

I haven't read it yet. I'm getting and reading the three short story collections first to have a base understanding of his work before I read that. The work him and D&Q put into those collections is incredible. Fantastic creator, and I'm glad I looked into him.

i loved grant morrison jla, ASS and some issues of doom patrol. i enjoyed his first issue of GL though.

some of his stuff is way too weird. but for the most part its just weird enough

Based. I feel like everyone in /shelf/ worth his salt should own a copy of BEHOLD GALACTUS

It's hard to read Morrison sometimes.
You need to read a lot of other books to get the subtext and references.
I can read Final Crisis just fine but I've been reading it since 2013. Sometimes I see something new.

How can you like such good comics but also so much meme shit?

This news makes me glad I picked up the 7 issue baxter reprint of GL/GA. Probably the best way to get it for cheap.

Somewhere nice

Luckily I have no loyalties to vidya. Sure I play them, but I can play the same game for a year and wait on new stuff to get cheap if I want it.

it's not drugs, alcohol, or games

I'm trying, I used to actually budget it separately from hobby shit, now that I have to choose between soda for a week or a TPB I've really cut back. Down to 1 can a day.

I'm pretty much a retail slave for life at this point, not gonna lie.

But drugs and alcohol make you cool

It's worse for you than all of those combined
You like instantly lose 5-10 pounds when you quit soda

>You like instantly lose 5-10 pounds when you quit soda
Oh neat, so you literally have no understanding of how the human body works. Nice.

I've been known to be all over the place. What 'meme shit' do you mean?

Harley Quinn is meme shit if you ask me.

I mean no I don't and I'm exaggerating but quitting soda is really good for losing weight

I'm skinny and not a whale, user. Quitting soda will do nothing.

Probably. But she was my favorite character from BTAS when I was a kid so I guess it carried on into adulthood.

>Skinny people reading comics
nobody belives you user

Lol that's my shelf that I posted like 2 weeks ago. Why did someone save that picture?

I mean it's a good shelf right?

Sure, just like cutting out alcohol can be.
There's literally nothing wrong with soda as long as you take it in moderation and take care of yourself. Unless you're just eating carrots and kale, anything can be bad for you in excess.

If you eat too many carrots your skin will start to get a yellowish tint.

I'm trying to cut out alcohol, too.
I guess if you're not worried about weight it doesn't matter, though.

Different user, but I think the line is actually pretty good, and I wish they'd actually put some effort behind it. None of the books are perfect by any means, but none have been bad yet (still haven't read TTv2, GL, or WW).

But yeah, my main beef is just that they clearly don't care about the line whatsoever. Otherwise I think the changes are mostly fine. Although it's sort of dumb how nuLex and nuTwo Face have the exact same twist origin to become female versions of the characters.

good night shelf

It's too big.

What are some recommended shelves for books or even figures? Specifically ones that aren't too bulky or cumbersome to move around.

ikea billy seems to be the standard

Was my birthday last week, so Go Team Venture! and Hell on Earth #1 are new, with 2-5 arriving soon.

>Has /shelf/ impacted your Yea Forumsllection in any way?
I've certainly seen books I didn't realise were collected, and asked about quality and things, but 99% of what I've got I would have gotten anyway. I'll usually find a digital copy of any recommendations, and then try to buy a nice version if I like it.

>What comic do you regret spending money on? or What's the most expensive Yea Forums item you regret buying?
I've got about a dozen Ultimate Spider-man trades that I haven't touched in about a decade. Wouldn't mind swapping them out for something I'll be reading again and again. And I kind of regret buying BPRD-PoF #1 and #2, because they went OOP, and whilst I bought them for a little over what I would have liked, the last two are unavailable for any sensible amount of money, so I have an annoying gap that I'll have to fill with a different style of book, and I will never stop being salty about that.

Neat.

Billychads ww@

I found mine in the street one day.

I also literally just got my shelves from the trash. Funny how that works.

All the WH and Eve, most of everything that isn't a comic was from a charity shop. Not much more than £15 on the lot.
The ones I have are Billys - ran me about £12 each, narrow shelves so they wouldn't bow, available in a bunch of colours and sizes and easy to build. They're popular for a reason.

I was actually gonna ask the same question. moving in a few days and I don't have a shelf for comics and figures yet so there are some urgent questions I need answered
>What's the quality of Billy like? Are they sturdy or is the material too cheap?
>Is there a huge difference between Billy and Hemnes? Is Hemnes worth the higher price?
>Can someone recommend closed (glass windows) Billy shelves?
>Are closed shelves good for comics & figures or do both need more airflow?

They're not rock solid, but my smaller ones are fairly sturdy - it's not like they're being moved around much. Give them a wiggle when you go to IKEA.
Hemnes is solid wood, Billy is veneer and chipboard.
Doors would help with dust and potentially prevent damage? I don't think you'd need to worry about airflow unless your house is damp or the books are somehow wet before you put them in. They're not airtight or anything, and if you're worried you could cut vents in the backboard or leave it off entirely.

how to organize short boxes?
I have about 4 right now and its Marvel, DC, Indie, prestige format/smallpress/some epic/vertigo but it feels so disorganized

those books were just not fun even though I really liked their art, I just didn't connect to the writing at all it felt like pretentious pretending to be sweet

dude the meta stuff is great. the best part is that none of it is cringey like deadpool and the guy really knows how to write fun stories that do the characters justice. jla, doom patrol, multiversity and his run on batman are some of the best comics out there

Enjoy your bowed shelves!

Kallax wuz here.

imagine being so bored at an LCS you've got time for these hijinx

sorry you're going out of business user

All three of mine are street/dumpster bookcases. I wasn’t even looking for shelves.

The Billy shelves didn't move when I wiggled them but I fear them not being able to take Absolutes without the rows bending or possibly even breaking

Thanks for the tip with the vents but if the doors aren't that airtight, I won't have to worry anyway. My gf doesn't really want shelves with doors so I'll buy an open shelf anyway. I just wish there were a cheaper high-qualityish alternative instead of the 160€ Hemnes.

Yeah, I wouldn’t say shelf or even Yea Forums has influenced my taste so much as pointing me at vendors (IST).
Now, it’s where I come to talk comics find out about cancelled DC omnis.

I didn’t like them either. Doom Patrol, Batman and seven soldiers are some of my favorite comics tho.
I’m not suggesting you try them, however. It’s just good to keep an open mind. My collection is full of creators I gave a second chance.

Re: whoever keeps asking for a John Byrne Superman/AC omnibus.
There is a user over at the DC Archives section of the marvelmastetworks/collected editions forum who sometimes does color restoration for DC.
He speculated about a year ago that Byrne was approached about an omnibus, but DC asked him if he was willing to take a smaller cut of their royalty agreement to ensure that it actually reaches print (because any money is better than no money). Due to how massive the sales were in the 1980s, unless the cost of the omnibus was around $250, DC would be losing money on every copy.
Byrne refused, and the DC trade department instead did the Superman: The Exile and Other Stories omnibus.

Related, I definitely recommend reading threads on that website. One of them has access to Didio's facebook page and posts his bullshit excuses for why their collections are always changing.

Attached: 20190527_212557.jpg (4032x3024, 2.99M)

>Byrne refused
So keeping in mind that any money is better than no money, what exactly is the rationale behind such a decision?

This.
My collecting has skewed to 90% Marvel omnibus editions in the last few years, because bought at IST the value is insane. I need to get back into newspaper strips, but 40$ for 130 pages of Captain Easy isn’t exciting.

One trade that burns me up is the Phantom Stranger, supposedly released 2 years ago and I cannot find nowhere, even though the main DC website says so, and even has links that just go to other products.

"Fuck you, pay me."

It seems idiotic to us, but I can't say I wouldn't do the same.
Having a large company whom you owe nothing come to you and say, "Hey, can we adjust that legal agreement we have with you just this once? Pretty please?" is an interesting situation. As consumers, it's certainly annoying.

I love Morrison’s DP.
I have the omni. It’s definitely readable, but a bit of a chore due to size.

Good luck, I probably spent too much on mine.

So you'd say you'd rather not get any money at all? That seems weird, somehow.

I also have the omni but can't stand it. I read the first half dozen issues or so in it then just pirated the rest and read them on my tablet.

It's that tiny bit too big. If it were 100 pages or so less it'd be okay, but as it is it's too much of a pain to read.

Do they change names?

Negotiating with a company like that is tricky. It sounds easy on the outside, but I'm sure it's more complicated than just taking a smaller cut this time, or at the very least seems so to him. Don't sell yourself short, basically.

This is a huge reason I collect numeric trades; omnis are okay when the series can be read comfortably (handheld). I made the mistake with my Mark Twain collection, the books are just too fat.

Need more shelves and I can fill in the rest of my collection; I need more Flash, Wonder woman, and Lobo

Yes. Shining Diamond, Worse Company, Chili Pepper. It can't be helped.

I read a review about early TMNT that said it's clunky but so earnest that it's impossible to hate. Is it any good in your opinion?

Might not be able to be helped but it'll certainly prevent me from ever buying it. Thanks tho, user.

>having autism this severe
I hope you get the help you need, friend.

Kino, the one works that has defined all else that I love about creating comics; having got to know Eastman while growing up, and just how humble he is, really made it all a masterpiece (at least, for this reader).

Impressive, user. What is your favorite shelf?

Good for him. He knows that DC will eventually do it because he is the biggest name in comics.
They even reprinted his excellent Wonder Woman in two (soon to be three) hardcover volumes.

It's the best Post-Veitch run

I've not read it in like 10 years but I remember being very unwhelmed at the time.

I prefer Millar's, BKV's and Soule's runs to it. Maybe Snyder's too although that'd be a closer call.

They're not organised enough to have a preference, everything is just shoved on so as best to fit in the limited space and gets moved around quite a lot when I need to put new stuff on.

imagine being so dumb you let your apartment go when your business isn't making money and just sleep in the store

I guess I meant it's the best post veitch run out of volume 2.
I really didn't care for what Millar (or Morrison ghostwriting) was doing. Especially when Millar had his own ideas, like a Nazi version of Abby

Yeah, it is a bitch. My omnitism cannot be controlled, tho. All my unwieldy omnis are DC (DP; Invisibles, and my greatest current purchase regret- Infinite Crisis)

>biggest name in comics
He’s definitely the biggest something in comics.

I don't wanna pry too much, but what do y'all do for a living to support such nice collections. I'm stuck with basic retail jobs because I'm a poor artist who lives with their parents/never graduated college. I get most of my books secondhand or I read a lot of them from the library.

All this kirby love warms my heart.

I ordered it and a copy for a friend at release.
I have it stored on top of book case.

So I read Scott Pilgrim in it's entirety for like 18 times, and only once for Watchmen. That was all in High school.

I’m legit crazy and kept. Hope that makes you feel better.

I've never read either.

Top of your shelf for display.

Not enough space between top of shelf and ceiling to put it upright though.

And nothing of value was lost.

I’m a support worker, not super well paid but enough to buy books and figures and shit for myself. I used to teach, school removed huge amount of positions and I just picked this up to keep me afloat, but I really enjoy it.
I also make D&D die on the side.

I study cinema and work at a bookstore chain alike barnes&noble. I can get stuff at a discount and usually look for deals online

>Plan on buying the Grant Morrison Batman omnibusses
>Have Final Crisis TPB
It's going to bother the fuck out of me to have a paperback sandwiched between two hardcovers,but it does give me an excuse to buy the omnibus. Decisions, decisions.

How to keep it from toppling?

How good of art? Paying for 300 pages

Also, I am in security consulting, fell into these gigs some years ago and honestly, it has provided me the exact type of setting I needed to get the real work done (the writing/art) not to mention, it does pay the bills/collecting

I’m releasing a supplement for old school Dnd in a couple weeks. I’m about to get high and navigate Drive Thru RPGs proof ordering process right this second in fact.

Cancelled out by GOTO, I'd say.

dark brown shelf filled with 1/4 manga 3/4 japanese nendos

I'm the same with this, sure I'd like to get "fancier" versions that bundle an extra issue or two (For example, I got the Death Note Black Version since it collects 2-3 volumes vs. getting the all in one Death Note book). If I can't comfortably read it, I generally don't see the point in getting it outside of having it because it's one of my absolute favorite series.

Yes.
Mandatory? Nothing is mandatory as far as your interest goes. We're not going to go over to your house and break a finger for each time we see no Watchmen/V for Vendetta on your shelf. They're just good comics so more people enjoy them thus more people have them in their collection. Even before I cared at all about "big 2" comics I enjoyed and bought these books.

Instant collectors items

They legit printed around 2000 copies of the later ones, and unless it gets the omni treatment (very unlikely given that Didio wants to move away from those), those 2000 copies are all that are out there

I'm a procrastinator in all forms, I'll pick it up sooner or later haha.

Me. Far right is The Art of The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

The most interesting things are the Television Cartoon Shows volumes. They're an encyclopedia of all the animated series aired in the United States from 1949 to 2003, with a review of each one, including anecdotes like this:

>And there was that real-life saloon in Seattle, where between 6 and 6:30 P.M. Thursday evenings a sign was posted: "No loud tinkling of glasses. No unnecessary conversation. No disturbing elements. No drinks served. BECAUSE WE'RE WATCHING HUCKLEBERRY HOUND."

Also one more bonus from me, old cartoon magazine with interesting interviews and articles. I'm pretty sure John K ghost wrote for some of it too. They go for like ... 5 bucks on ebay if it interests any of yas.

is there any good recent/ongoing stuff with DC vertigo/black label/young animal?

Doom Patrol by Gerard Way is fun.

is it ongoing? i remember seeing a gerard way DP trade at the lcs.

it's probably just people that don't want to be left with half a set after they half-assedly cancel the set with 1 or 2 books to go

not really. Way spent years getting 11 issues out (which is collected in two trades), then a 12th issue came out.
Another six issues are starting again soon

The recent Forager book was great, i loved Eternity Girl, Shade the Changing Girl and Cave Carson and i've heard that The Dreaming is quite alright too

I got both volumes for ~$15 on an Amazon gift card, so nothing out of pocket for me. It looks like there are copies on Amazon and eBay for between $5 and $50 a volume, which really shows how thin the market for serious animation history books is.

Who is wrightson, and what does he have to do with animation?
Also, are there any good books on studying body language for animators.. or for anyone?

Those Sandman recolors are absolutely atrocious. Did Doom Patrol and Animal Man also get recolored for their omnis?

Bernie Wrightson was a comic artist that mostly did horror stuff, he co-created Swamp Thing and did a fantastic adaptation of Frankensterin, in the early 2000's he joined an animation studio to work in a Biker Mice from Mars and a movie based on his comic Freakshow that never got made

>floppies are often the cheapest way to collect a comic
>OOP trades and omnibuses became the new collector's items

why are floppies cheaper

Cuz they take up a fuck load of space, and often are replaced by collected editions, so people will go on eBay to just get rid of the things. It's crazy the deals you can find by searching for runs in floppies.

No.
Or at least, they got recolored like how most digital reproductions look

Just watched Captain Marvel for the first time, since it became available on torrents sites (paying for movies lol), and I gotta say, that was enjoyable as hell. Brie Larson was particularly charming. Yea Forums and Yea Forums made it sound like the worst movie ever, fucking idiots.

Any Carol recommended reading since my affinity for the character has increased?

Printings. A trade of a lesser known character might only move 3000 copies.
But for stuff in the 1980s, 70,000 units was considered low for a comic (when Alan Grant took over Detective Comics in 1988, that was the breakeven number). But that's still 70,000 potential copies of an issue that you can buy.
With how few extra copies of things publishers print now, the back issue bins are getting thin for recent series.

I'm very glad my innocuous tongue in cheek remark has upset you so much.

I miss the Golden Age of ebay, early 2000's, so much less competition, dirt cheap prices, nobody really knew what they were doing. Fuck I could get so many full or nearly full runs of 80s/90s comics with my meagre 10 dollar a week allowance.
There are still a lot of good deals on ebay but it's so much more cutthroat.

Is this bait? Considering most of her runs were cancelled and didn't sell well, Carol doesn't have any good comic runs. I enjoyed her more as Ms Marvel honestly. If you liked her movie, then I'm sorry. You must not watch a lot of movies, or know anything about acting or storytelling.

Avengers 200, when she gets mind controlled and raped by her son, and the rest of the Avengers congradulate her

ty user, buying a copy to frame and not read

Claremont did some cool stuff with her character and Bryan Reed's run is ok i guess

>If you liked her movie, then I'm sorry. You must not watch a lot of movies, or know anything about acting or storytelling.
uncalled-for and rudepilled

It's a children's movie, i don't know what do people expect from the MCU

's true though.

A children's movie like Wizard of Oz or Willy Wonka can have good acting and storytelling. Saying that "it's just for kids" is a poor excuse for craftsmanship and storytelling.

>Those Sandman recolors are absolutely atrocious
no, they were needed. Sandman came out at the time they were just starting the switch over. And those early issues needed to be recoloured, there are a lot of places in the original where the characters were coloured exactly like the backgrounds and just got lost in the backgrounds. Not all recolours are bad.

I have the originals and the recolors. The recolors are too brightly colored and garish. They stink.

>not knowing Death
>aka best girl
Who hasn't read Sandman?

I like some of the math/science "tourism" books that can give you some conceptual ideas about subject
especially eulers gem

How do you not recognize the best girl in DC bar none?

Man I really wish I had a Death figure--I wish I had a figure from Sandman period. ;A;

Was Death created by Gaiman, or did someone else create her?

So Death is Gaiman's tulpa that he created knowing fangirls would dress up as her and try to fuck him. It worked.

never read sandman, my father has the books though
theres a few on ebay right now
you be careful

who is this magician?

Hawkworld
Martian Manhunter
Wasteland
Grimjack
Manhunter
The Kents
A fuck load of Dark Horse Star Wars

That Death was specifically him. There was a Death that used to be in War anthologies.
He actually dragged his feet on giving her more characterization, and was allegedly upset when Greg Weisman (Gargoyles, TV's Young Justice) used in her Captain Atom but changed her standing in the DCU.
The story goes is Gaiman's editor (Berger) and Weisman's editor approved the pages even though they went again Gaiman's plans for Death.
I think some of it has to do with Berger possibly promising Gaiman things that they couldn't actually offer in a shared universe (like control of characters owned by DC).
Even she has said in recent years that he was allowed to do his own thing, except that isn't true. He connected his lore to previous stories, and kept using two of the Infinity Inc kids even after the first more-DCU-connected volume.

What did Weisman do with Death?

Are you Mexican, my friend?

Speaking of Zatanna
Was that mini series any good?

No amigo I am from Ottawa, Canada

Had her appear next to Nekron and The Black Racer and verbally say that she's just the compassionate aspect of death.
Not the Capital D Death.
The colorist also fucked her up, but that wasn't on Weisman

Mystik U? No idea, have to read it. Just found out about it. I'm buying #1 no matter what, that cover is delicious. Looks like Kate Bishop (my Marvel waifu) cosplaying as Zatanna (my DC waifu)

Huh, I thought for sure maybe. Top Cat is fuckin huge in Mexico.
There's a few on Ebay of varying quality. I got a loose one for 20 bucks, the sculpt for the face is a little shit but I manage
(seen here)

>Brood Saga
My favorite X-Men story as well and the only book I like Carol in.

Buisick... hot take incoming

>Warbird
>Triathlete
> 1000 word 17 panel pages
>Whatever the fuck is going on with Wanda’s outfit
>oh my stars and garters
>must fix continuity
Lol no

It was pretty terrible. Even as an elseworld it was just boring, and wasted all of its potential as it wrapped up.
It also kept calling magic "magik" which I can't stand in general

She is compassionate

>Top Cat is fuckin huge in Mexico.
Had no idea. I've just always loved Hanna-Barbera stuff. Top Cat, Tom and Jerry, Quick Draw McGraw, Huckleberry Hound. Even today I find this stuff hilarious

>>Top Cat is fuckin huge in Mexico.
source?

Ya I fucking hate Busiek's Avengers. And the coloring of the time makes Perez' work look like shit.

I once thought this about the same Omni for GL. I decided to read it one day and it was good. I recommend reading the new Grant Morrison run.

Mexico got an exclusive Top Cat movie made

It’s mainly just the cartoon that’s popular. Merchandise not so much.

google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/film/filmblog/2011/oct/11/top-cat-don-gato-mexico
I only heard about it when the movie had came out, but the original top cat was quite popular too. Might have something to do with whoever was the VA. I know something similar can be said of Golden Age Simpsons Homer in Spanish is highly loved too.

yup, even got him many threesomes with Stoya
I'll agree with some of that, Triathlete was lame but I enjoy pretty much everything else
>sexy Wanda is sexy
>Beast/Wonderman is best
>Warbird was good cause it gave Carol the alcoholism story which led into her and Tony being good friends
>One of the best redemption arcs of Hank Pym

I don't see the Vampirella master series in this picture

Zee's great, but I stand by what I said.
Bar none.

They're just highly recommended books everyone buys when getting into comics.

Isn't she the one that was getting beat up by James Deen? Makes me very an ger y if so.

Stark is glowing. It’s an eyesore.

Here's my favorites shelf
>Kingdom Come
It gets a pass because it was my very first trade

Attached: IMG_20190528_225658.jpg (3200x2400, 2.5M)

Does Yea Forums really hate Kingdom Come? Or is it just memes?

I know that feel. I have a copy of Blackest Night sitting around somewhere that i feel embarrassed about. I love seeing Brawl in the family here, that guy and his shit is so wholesome. Shame the spines trigger my autism though.

I think is a bad Superman story but not necessarily a bad comic

Yep. It’s Yea Forums we’re talking about user. They hate everything mainstream. Some even go as far as to never buy anything dc or marvel related because they hate buying anything “normies” buy. Anyways the story itself is alright so I don’t get the hate behind.

what's wrong with kingdom come?

Lately the tide seems to have shifted to "overrated" it's still good, but flawed

I think it's memes. Mark Waid did something to draw the ire of some Yea Forums people and now anything associated with Mark Waid is getting a new treatment.

This thread is full of big two comics.

Jelly over the HC Girls, I have the SC complete collection and the glue in it is fucking trash.

It was sarcasm, man.

>some

I haven't read a book-book in so long, /shelf/. I feel guilty

>second volume of Crepax is baby pink

Fucking hate this shit.

The last book I bought was Sullivan's Sluggers back in... September? November? CBA checking but it's been a while.

anything I read non-comic these days is non-fiction

Oh shit I completely miss read your post. I'm actually about to start reading Summer of Night myself.

Nerd. Give some examples nerd. The History of the Pocket Protector maybe?

>The History of the Pocket Protector maybe?
jej

Hilarious, I was just thinking about that the other day. I just joined "Goodreads" and I was like "oof, I haven't read that many books this year. I should join a challenge to make me read faster." Then I was like "OH YEAH, I read a crapton of Venom and other scattered comics."
I dunno, I guess sometimes it doesn't feel like reading a book-book because there doesn't have to be much time devoted to reading a comic. Manga I can finish in about 30 minutes, easy. Comics, depending on the density can be finished in 10 (floppies)-a few days (something more dense like Watchmen).

venomfag why do you mention venom in every post you do. im concerned. venom isn't real, user

>The History of the Pocket Protector
lol, no. Nothing that exciting.

I don't, it's just you don't know it's me until I mention Venom. 030; Besides, it's true I'm reading a crap ton of Venom. >3>;

>pussyposter

The guy claimed to have started on comics with Rebirth but he has like everysingle tpb released by DC since 2015

I posted mine once but it's on a industrialshelf kinda thing that I don't like how it looks so I stopped

Wait I'm getting confused. Ladderbro is the guy who comes in and says everything DC is shit. Tommy is the anti-Marvel one. Thank god Tommy never came to /shelf/.

Oh I got them mixed-up them. There is no fucking way there is a single ladderbro and tommy, there are a bunch of faggots around here and most of them are Yea Forums

Tommy is definitive one person. He's been at it for a year and it's so distinct.

Are any of these real people? I don't recall seeing a single one of these before this thread.

...I dunno if I'm Cursed shelf or Pussyposter. But yeah, I like too many radically different things with my animu, to my princesses, to my ponies, to my Venom. Imagine if y'all saw all of my Hello Kitties/Sanrio stuff. Haha, but hey, it gives me an excuse to play with my room organization and procrastinate.

Gracias, I have fun on the thread even when anons are like "wtf is up with this??" Haha

You'll probably see me around Venom threads obviously, but you'll never know which one is me cuz...there's a number of other Venomfags. Other than that you'll never know cuz of the nature of the site, user.

They only came here after they finally got banned from the reddit comic subreddit

Although, it'd defeat the purpose, it would've been cool to have a /shelf/ meet up one day. =w= Y'all are chill dudes.

>tfw no one recognizes you
It's better this way, since when I get BTFO, I won't be held accountable in the next thread.

Attached: 1548075147239.jpg (323x328, 27K)

delete this post please, that pic is cursed

It'd be nice to have more chances to discuss comics with people that actually read them

no

Attached: 1547768963740.jpg (720x719, 74K)

I'd do a meetup but it would be entirely impossible to arrange. We have people from way too far away. I'll just be satisfied chatting with many of you here, christmas threads and another chat

How to get started with Dredd? The casefiles don't line properly, so I don't want that. Is there another way to read the essential storylines?

I agree, it's why I enjoy the site. You get a new palette every time you enter a thread. Of course outside of this one since by this point a good chunk of regulars could recognize my posting after a few posts. It's not like other places where my username would be recognized by regulars after a while and my posts would be around forever.

Right? I'm discovering a lot of cool comics out there to add to my reading list and who else would I fangirl over Venom to? Hahaha

I did the Christmas threads for the first time this year. It was a heck of a lot of fun, the streams and Christmas Storytimes were great. But yeah, I agree that it would be almost impossible to do a meetup because of distance and the entire mess of arranging a meetup. Maybe a video/voice chat or something one day. That'd be the next best thing.

Yeah, I would have an ear open for the christmas threads. Something something, another chat.

What do you mean about the case files?

>randomly the last volume of Monster
Why it be like this tho?

I enjoy these threads but I think we may tank them too quick. This one is already almost at 500. with all the fresh /shelf/s there is rarely a time they time out though, so that is nice

>that Spectre
You my nigga, nigga.

I'm lending my other volumes to a family friend (they lent me their Deadpool and another comic). The 9th volume I had gotten after the lending.

I remember someone posting the casefiles and the number 04 or 05 had a wildly different spine.

>Maybe a video/voice chat or something one day
I think that some people have tried to do a Discord but it never took off

Nigga if you care that much about spines you're buying comics for the wrong reasons

>*another Far Side comic
It's cuz we chat too much. We don't just post our shelves and leave forever.

Is it okay if I make another shelf thread sunday?

we can always make a new one when this one finishes. my rule of thumb is, if I go 2 days without seeing one in the catalog, I make a new one. the regularity of these threads is determined by your guys enthusiasm level

buddy you can make another thread in an hour if you want to. the only rule of /shelf/ is no cardboard boxes

Hey duderino my copy of Circle of Blood showed up. I haven't had time to read past the prologue yet but I had to let you know that
>Kyoto is the river where holy water and semen converge...
Is some wonderfully silly prose. The art so far is very aesthetically pleasing but I think the assassin girls were all just drawn in fetish gear to please the author.

I want to make one soon, maybe saturday or sunday in honor of vampi's 50th birthday

Oh. Yes, the american Volume 3 has a black spine as opposed to the white of the rest and the numbering is in a different place than all of the other volumes. I thought you were suggesting that the files were incomplete or missing material.

kingdom come is good stuff. also nice usagi yojimbo omnibuses, i have the first two and its great. what are those special editions? and what makes them special?
also how was bone?

The uk edition has all matching spines. There are some big arcs collected in single tpbs like apocalypse wars and stuff that wasn't included in the case files like America

>The art so far is very aesthetically pleasing but I think the assassin girls were all just drawn in fetish gear to please the author.
It was David Macks first book he drew, he actually wanted to be a writer more than an artist before Bendis convinced him to do his own art. So yes, it has some of that superhero sexy asthetic. But it is not done without thought, some of the characters become very very interesting, even besides Kabuki. Scarab is one of the best characters from the group, she's a comic artist who fell into being an assassin.
I'm reading through the 2017 Vampirella by Paul Cornell and originally I was kinda turned away by the art and very weird formatting of the comic. But damn I am loving it now, it's so bizarre and just goes for making it as outworldly as they can

> some of that superhero sexy asthetic
No they're S&M queens, not superheroes. I mean don't get me wrong I totally enjoy that (I'd tap that Scarab), it's just really noticeable.

The special editions are the first issues in chronological order. The big Dark Horse volumes you have is not the start of the series.

to page 10, and beyond !

So, should I make the thread a new thread today or Sunday?

I'm actually ok for a new one tonight. Just use THE GOD DAMN STICKY!

Saturday maybe, give it some time so we don't get too repetitive.

I honestly checked Yea Forums threads to see if there was more Star Vs spamming going on. Surprisingly, I think the Star spam is calming down. This is why I don't follow many cartoons religiously and generally wait until they've ended before jumping on. Same for Yea Forums

I guess I’ll make one Saturday, hopefully before someone else makes one

>Rebirth user makes one again
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
