Sunday Shelf/Recent Haul Thread?

Been awhile for since I posted in one of these

Currently reading Morrison JLA which is way more cohesive thaan I expected so far, sorry I missed it when it was coming out

Also reading Young Avengers which now I’m really excited for a film, interesting group that basically would print money if they were on screen imo

Why thank you!

I wanted to give him a comic related name and my wife let me get away with Jarvis

We just call him baby j usually but he’s a very sweet cuddle cat

I’m curious about Rumble, what keeps you into it?

Never got it while it was coming out but always was tempted

Oh nice! I just got through Hellboy library 3 and I get saw it seems, for now, to only get better as it goes along

Rasputin is fuckign insane

That Hellboy lot is sexual

you have a lot of stuff I didn't even know had a hardcover edition. You must really like HC over TPBs
ever read the Drizzt comics? They did the original trilogy as comics. I read the first oine and I have to say it was pretty decent. If I can find them for a good price I may grab them

This is most of the stuff I picked up this past week. I also got the second Top 10 book, I'm just waiting for the first one to come in the mail.

Attached: shelf.jpg (1417x859, 465K)

The first 3 trades are really good but they took a break while making it and James Harren left to go work with marvel and when they picked up again with a new artist, it did not feel like the same comic. It's still enjoyable but something about the first 3 trades just seems better. I think it's worth checking out user.

Vampifag are you here? I want to make a gift for you

Well I’ll make the present and all the vampifags can have one

>>Do you have a comic that's not particularly good but you enjoy?
Yeah, the entirety of the Bendis-era of Avengers and Events. Peak popcorn comics.
>>The cheapest book you've got
In terms of dollar to page ratio it's probably the X-Statix omnibus for 30 dollars.

That Hellboy figure you got on the top shelf is for sale at a local flea market for $100. Real tempting to pick it up.

Shelf is getting very cluttered...

Good news everyone I stole more stuff! Now my board has evolved to an actual shelf. Now lets see how it fills up in the next 6 months.

>Do you have a comic that's not particularly good but you enjoy?
Marvel Zombies, It is stupid, gory, silly. It is just my jam.

>The cheapest book you've got
Zombies Christmas carol, 5 bucks on Christmas eve, that one I really enjoy too. I even storytime it once a year.

Man the Question is so wonderful, I wish he was more in the spotlight. If you enjoy a more violent Batman rolling on twenty bucks you’re in for a year with some wonderful spirit

It’s been a minute since I read it but I expected more JLU Question and got more of a detective question which I still loved


This all hurt the more during the 52, which desu I thought had a sweet Phantom Stranger last maybe issue 5 or 7

I'd say it's one of the better cape runs, it has an awesome cast, amazing storylines and good action beats but as always sample it before buying

I miss my Civil War HC l, lost in the move and I have no fuckign clue

Autocorrect to desu why pho

>Not good but I enjoy

Honestly Red Robin is not all the best but I loved it so much when it was coming out

>the cheapest

By and far my copy of Multiversity, it has barely a dent and wast 8 bucks while relatively new

>Do you have a comic that's not particularly good but you enjoy?
Plenty. Most are probably cause they are just silly fun like Danger Girl.
>>The cheapest book you've got
From what it is worth? The Borgia origional print run hardcovers. $15 each. But i have also gotten a few free from a book nook library someone made, one i had really wanted actually. Also free from christmas thread was The Nikopol Trilogy and i thank that guy cause that book is great

I LOVE hardcovers

Let me tell you the journey I went through for all the Swamp Things hc, like years of trips and road trips searching at different stores but I love them and the journey
My Cosmic Marvel amd Uncanny x force omnibus are going to be saved from any fires ever with my cat in tow

Don't store books like this. You ruin the spine over time.

I liked redhood a lot the new trio works pretty well within the story and you grow attached to the characters i'd recommend it if it goes woth your tastes. I don't know how the new run is but i have to check it out.

Pretty kino cause you don't have diablo 3

There is no other place to discuss comics with people that do read them

Nah it's because i'm a filthy phone poster

Multiversity came in the mail today

Shoot landscape and it comes out normally when you post

>discuss comics
That's entirely what Yea Forums is for. /shelf/ isn't needed, nor does anyone here actually "read" comics

It is still red and the outlaws, only a new team consisting of bizzaro and artemis, for me , the dynamics worked very well it builds the unlikely family wonderfully

I don't wish Yea Forums on my worst enemy. God damn i want to talk about Good Omens so much but they only thing they talk about is God is a woman and Adam and Eve are black. It may be my favorite show of the decade but the autism there prevents good talks. Every once in a while there are people who have read Pratchett there but fuck is it terrible

im a brainlet, /shelf/, how frequently does DC release trades of ongoing series?

for instance, they released the trade of action comics 1001-1006, and the next issue is gonna be AC 1012, will they release a trade of 1007-1012 later in the summer?

>expecting/tv/ not to be autistic about anything ((BLACKED))

yes, retard

Same thing was happening to me user, I usually just upload the pic to Instagram, delete it, then come here and upload the pic from the file from Instagram. Its annoying but it works for me

I have no idea! But the solicitations that they release every month are your best bet to see what they are publishing next! Just search for tp or HC in the page and you are good to go! Also check Comicbookdb, if the volume you seek is in its database, then is already out.

why would someone read DC/Marvel when japanese comics are so much more superior?

Colour is a huge tool in creating comics. Black and white can be good if that is the intention but it being the default is not good. Colour sets mood and tone of the story, dropping that means unless the artist really pays attention to that, and some do, that is something that is lost

why would someone post such abhorrent shit when theres good content on Yea Forums?

Oohhh my gods


What are your favorites in there?

What? Then why do we have all the goddamn books?

Listen I know most of haven’t read a fair share of what we own but you’re jus being negative if you think shelf threads can’t make quality co discussion

Just read around this thread a little more and maybe contribute what you like and such too?

This

Hard to say, The Ditko and Kirby stuff hold a special place for sure . Also quite fond of gene Colan Dracula/black panther. And the Abnett/Lanning cosmic saga.

Unless you can actually read japanese, most of the comics that are available are on the same level as DC and Marvel.

I read the last thread, and I refuse to believe that a scantily clad character could be taken seriously in a story.

>there are people who go to the lcs and buy like 10-15 issues and complain about all of them

then stop buying them and reading them jfc senpaitachi

>I refuse to believe that a scantily clad character could be taken seriously in a story.
Lets not start that here. All i will say is go read something like Empowered

>What? Then why do we have all the goddamn books?
Not him, but fuck if I know. Half of these are still in the shrink wrap. They might as well be Funkos because they're just shelf porn. People blindbuy shit now just because the hivemind recommends it. Very rarely can you tell someone's taste from their shelves anymore.

>Then why do we have all the goddamn books?

Going by how many books the average shelfposter has, I wouldn't say that reading comics is a serious interest for most of them. Its more about making a nice little shrine.

I will admit to having about a foot high of unread stuff but that is a fraction of my collection. And there is about 1/3 of my collection that i have reread

The problem is FOMO and the fact that I can't get rid of my most of shit.

>not having stacks of unread books around

not all of us have the willpower to buy a book, read it, then get the next book

Jesus i might be autistic then because i read everything i own at least 5 times amd buy what is recommended here

Except that good colorists are far and in-between. Most are trash that ruin the inks

here you go vampifags as promised, the 1:100 vampirella /shelf/ card variant

Right on man, that JMS Omni is a fucking dope page turner. Until the very end. Fuck marvel editorial for what they did to gwendy

haha who would have unread books around haha who does that haha not me thats for sure haha

Then stick to good colourists, it isn't hard. Honestly i love painted comics and that is all about colour. Does manga have any painted comics?

>Jusko
You did Lilliths work

Somebody make one for marvel omnibuses

took me forever to render that fucking thing in MS paint. fuck me for never learning photoshop

Or you just actually like reading comics. Its actually fairly uncommon these days.

Well anons, I get it, you don't like people talking about their shelves, how about you go make a thread about something you really want to discuss? I won't have a problem chatting with you if it's about something I know, just link it here

It's normal to have more than you've read because
a) we buy things on sale
b) we buy things for FOOP (fear of out of print)
But if you think we don't actually read and discuss comics you're either delusional or new to these threads. Having 30 shrinkwrapped omnis is not the norm for us

This guy is jealous af.

This shit happens with regular books as well. I don't know why I just like having books around me.

Ya i bought Absolute Promethea on sale cause it will never ever be reprinted in that format. But i got Volume 2 and have to find a copy of volume 1 and 3 now

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsundoku

sell that 1/3

Why? I want to read it again.

DC usually does trades later as a way of "supporting the direct market."
As in, give the consumers a few months to go to a LCS and buy singles before putting them together for a cheaper price.
Marvel justifies their quick trade releases by pricing the trades higher.
Action Comics however was supposed to be one of the series that Didio was trying hardcovers only for, so who the fuck knows.

>Do you have a comic that's not particularly good but you enjoy?
The Dark Tower comics

some, with the intention to eventually turn into binded hardcovers.
I don't tell the sellers that though, because some get weird.

It's absolutely trash. Don't watch it as a Vampirella movie cause it completely shits up the source material. But it does have moments that are fun to watch in a bad movie way, like Roger Daltrey playing Dracula. It's short and on Youtube.

MUH DICK

I pull a couple titles as an excuse to go into my comic shop and keep my ear to the ground . It’s also kind of nice to taste comics in all of their different formats; Did Van Ness a floppy is is that it’s the only format that has truly zero gutter loss, you can lay it completely flat

I only buy floppies for stuff that i feel needs to be supported. So that is rarely DC and Marvel but some small books that i fear will get enough support to finish. Also i will floppy buy any DWJ comic cause those letters pages are both heartbreaking and lovely

Nicething about floppies*
Thanks auto correct . Surely Van Ness was what I was trying to say

>Not that good but I enjoy it anyways
Dunno, maybe Garfield could be considered as such because some think of it as the Nickleback of comic strips. Other than that, I don't think I have anything objectively bad.

>Cheapest book you've got
Well, several of them are gifts, even my Uncle gave me some of his floppies (Captain America, Thor, Howard the Duck), maybe "Sunny Side Up" I picked it up from the thrift store for 50 cents.

I have a large collection of floppies. I'm done with boxes though and am working on a way to shelve them for easier access.

Never seen it. But i watche Barbarella not long ago and it stands up. It is an acid trip through weird sci-fi erotic ideas and it succeeds at that totally. And now i know why Jane Fonda was such a huge thing on poster walls

Barbarella was a comic?

I actually like Garfield. It is pleb as fuck but whatever

I still read comics in the bookstore before I buy. There's a lot more books that I've read vs what I've actually bought.

>Bad Book that I enjoy
Probably House of M

>Cheapest book that I own

I bought the national reprints of Future Quest vol. 2, Scooby Apocalypse and DC Superhero girls for 200 pesos (about 10usd) and DCSHG had stickers that I'll probably never use

user....yes it was a 60s comic. Pretty good. Recently she has had a good run with mike Carey and right now a good run with leah Williams in barbarell/Dejah Thoris

Did she have any good runs in the 60s

Apparently in the 70's Hammer Horror wanted to make a Vampirella movie starring Caroline Munro but then Hammer went bankrupt.

How good is No Man's Land ? I was wondering if i should get it for a while now and some inout would be nice

I had a few floppies before becoming a Venomfag: uncle gifted me some from his old collection, HPB would let you pick from their floppies for Free Comic Book Day, and so fourth.
As a gift I wanted $100 worth of Venom stuff from my LCS, not many trades--a whole stash of floppies and grabbed $115 worth of Venom floppies. A good way to start my Venom obsession.

Attached: 20190528_121152[1415].jpg (2958x3447, 1.37M)

It is a single run by a creator. What i read was pretty cool but i never finished

Overall? It's a junk of crap. But there are issues here and there that are fantastic, and the concept overall is very interesting. No Man's Land gets overrated because it's better than all the shit Bat-xovers that preceded and followed it (Legacy, Contagion, Cataclysm, Officer Down, Fugitive/Murderer, War Games/Drums).

Obviously read it and decide for yourself, but don't expect anything even close to approaching a top50 Batman comic

Another disaster averted

Addendum: I'm saying this as someone who owns No Man's Land is is a massive Batman fan. I am however discerning enough to know what to recommend or not to people that are not Batfags as well . It's just not that good, and way too fucking long

I feel the same about it, it isn't my favorite strip but I enjoy reading it nevertheless.

Thanks, it's a spinning bookshelf and I'm only showing the side that has comics/comic related stuff. The other sides have a whole bunch of novels/reference books/ect. haha.

Good, thanks a lot. I might just sample it and see if it's for me

That way we get less threads and everybody wins

While I agree that /shelf/ threads are great, I feel we should be very careful we don’t do too many thread too close together. Maybe Official Sunday Shelf thread would be a good thing. One great thread a week is better than 4 mediocre thread through the week

You notice how people have Reinventing Comics on their shelves, but never Zot or the Sculptor? Because the man is a terrible writer that got away with putting out a massive, overblown prose on how comics should read because nobody else thought to do it catering to the Indie crowd first.

I can't trust a person who has never made an interesting comic in their life to tell me how interesting comics are made. I'd sooner listen to Harlan Ellison's rants or attend Neil Gaiman's masterclass than put up with a page of McCleod.

Well, now I want a Barbarella comic. Thanks faggot

>being mad at people who write reference books

I still buy floppies and if it's something I enjoy I will probably buy the tpb or hardcover of that title once it gets collected. I'll also sometimes blind buy floppies based on the art and enjoy it enough to start collecting it.

“If you can’t do: teach”

I'm not mad, I have common sense. Would you trust someone who has never done CPR to attempt it on your dying mother when there's paramedics right next to them?

What are some cheap, essential marvel comics like Watchmen?
Bonus if it includes women like Elektra or She-Hulk since I don't think they have anyone close to WW in status

I thought people liked Zot. He has had stinkers for sure but that is highly praised
Just read Mike Careys run. The art is weird until you finally get what the idea is. The run is good

>marvel comics like Watchmen
i hope you meant "comics in the same vein as watchmen" and youre not implying that watchmen is a marvel book.

but i cant think of anything off the top of my dome apart from maybe frank millers daredevil

If one person in this entire thread has a physical copy of Zot on their shelf then I'll shut up about McCleod being a hack.

I haven't read Zot! yet, but I have seen it on several shelves here. I did enjoy the Sculptor and it's on my "to buy" list. So your argument falls flat there, besides it doesn't change the fact that Understanding Comics is a great book on comics that is referenced by various cartoonists alike.

I got it off of Amazon back in 2015, South Shore Reveal Revolving Bookcase. Although I wished it had more adjustments for taller books, I'm happy with it.

Read Marvels, there should be a cheap TP option you can go for.

X-Men is the most female driven book in Marvel...not sure if that's what you are asking..

I have seen Zot on a couple shelves.

man i just really like DC comics

Haven't read it yet. I'm going chronogically.

you have triggered me to no extent. They are NOTHING alike. What can you even compare them to? That Family Guy took the animation style of Simpsons? That isn't sensible cause Futurama is the creator of Simpsons who went on and decided to make something legitimately great and he succeeded.

is this /shelf/? seriously? Even during the crash the X-Men were the big thing of the 90s and the 80s. And no, Claremont wasn't the only good X-men run. the 2000s had LOADS of great X-Men stuff

Never seen this, all I know is my nigga Andy Kaufman was on it

There's a comic running right now that's covering X-Men history from issue 1 to probably around the time Claremont leaves. I suggest checking it out and seeing if it makes you want to read the actual stories.

Grande Design is really fucking good.

Yeah but it's better after having already read X-Men stuff since it's a love letter. You wouldn't recc it to a newbie (although you COULD)

Why people complain about the regularity of /shelf/? The fact that they always go to bump limit means there's a demand. It's our watering hole.

if someone has read a lot of comics I would say they could read it, but yeah, it's full of little fun changes and cameos of stuff that is more a love letter to the material
they think that too many threads leads to more shitposting. Not sure if they are correct cause all it takes is one person to derail the whole thing and it can happen anytime

It's Yea Forums, they complain about everything. Especially if people are enjoying themselves.

Probably my fault, I done goofed

Physically, Defenders Epic 6 - The Six Fingered Hand.
It's my first Epic, and it's a bit disappointing. The paper is very thin, and bleeds through a bit. It opens with a Presents issue, and then the first issue of Defenders has Eternity on the cover. On the other side, there is a lot of white space at the bottom of the page, so Eternity's toes are visible from the cover.

Pirate wise, I'm trying out the Superman Post Crisis Chronology. Holy shit, I didn't realize it was so comprehensive. It collects literally everything in what is supposed to be chronological order. The downside is that it jumps from story to story in little chunks. For example, one collection has the epilogue of Man of Steel's first issue, then some of Superman: For All Seasons - Spring, then all of Man of Steel #2, then an annual, then the rest of SFAS-S.
What bugs me most is that the covers are at the end, along with the contents page.

someone tl;dr me on Lady Death
>inb4 waifu DC Death

she's a very 90s feminist character. Her origin is that she's always been oppressed, she was to be forced into an abusive marriage by her abusive father etc etc. She was burned as a witch and finally snapped to give her soul to Satan instead. But that didn't work out either cause she was just another type of slave. So the rule in hell was desire=power and her desire to never be under anyones power ever again made her the most powerful person in hell.

Honestly a really good origin story, but I have read very few of her other comics

Man, I would love a complete Scarlet Spider run.

Finish iHerc! I'm reading that right now.

At least you have room there. Books are stacked on top of shelves and movies are placed in boxes.

>The cheapest book you've got
Picked up a lot over the years from the thrift stores by work for about a buck a shot, like the first printings of Batman The Dark Knight Returns and Watchmen. The Wizard How to Draw trade at one point was going for $100 on Amazon when I paid 80 cents for it. Why I go there twice a week.

Kinda jelly here.

I need to take new photos of my unread books. Been a while.

I agree.

Ooh, this looks interesting. I do enjoy shopping there for comics. I remember when the comics section was just a shelf, not it's a quarter to a third of the second floor, now taking over the children's books section.

Did you get the whole Shortbox #10 or just Sobek? I just got the box for Sobek. Should've just waited since they eventually released it on its own.

It's good. It's about the people, mainly the main character stuck in manhatten during civil war and the island is the last place not to choose sides.

It's one of the few post Brit invasion vertigo titles (along side scalped) to really get me.

Honestly I'd say pirate the first book and see if it's for you.

I just Organise by title. My shameful buys (Slotts Spiderman) alongside classics (Seaguy and Swamp thing.)

Yeah, it's always bothered me when people get visibly upset that I buy pieces of paper with the intention to collect those pieces of paper into a bigger, more easily accessible collection of papers.

Like, I bought it from you because it's cheap. If I wanted a CGC copy to save, I'd get that. It's not like I want to wipe my ass with it.

You should get into Marvel's silver age, and graduate on to DC's after. You should only read DC's silver age because you love the silver age, not because you love good stories.

I'd never do it myself but it seems to me that collecting floppies into a hardcover does the things way more justice to begin with because you actually spend even MORE money to enjoy a coherent and cohesive experience of all the floppies. It also basically reinforces that people who do that aren't some shitty scalpers because you're basically throwing all potential increase in worth out of the window by combining floppies into an HC

Just got the invoice for my latest auction win. Full set of Promethea for $35. I am excite. Those Deluxe editions coming out have tempted me, but I'm boycotting DC's collection department for the time being.

Yeah, you basically destroy the resale value for the chance to breathe new life into the books you've flipped through enough times to tire of.

I have roughly ten thousand floppies. The chances of me ever getting around to reading them a third or fourth time are incredibly low.

I don't have a clue about Promethea but tons of people are praising it. When I found out the Deluxe Editions were coming out, I checked out some of the art and it was nothing special. Good but nothing astounding. Did I just look at some basic-looking pages or what exactly is so great about Promethea? I'd have nothing against buying the three Deluxe Editions once they're out if the material is nice

>I have roughly ten thousand floppies
Jeez, man, how long have you been collecting? That's exactly the reason why I swore to never start collecting floppies. TPBs and HCs or nothing at all because floppies are just a goddamn rabbit hole

I love Sobek. Pure good Stokoe. Im hoping its a part of the Grunt collection since he's on the cover of it because otherwise I doubt it'd ever end up collected.

I just got Sobek. Someone told me they usually sell the individual books if there's a demand so I took the gamble. Worth it.

Fatale is great but apparently its divisive for people. I like the entire thing but I do think its not geling with you early it probably wont later

I understand anyone not being someone's thing. I especially understand Piskor not being someone's jam. But boy do people that not like his stuff realy autistically hate it if anyone else does.

Im upset marvel didn't include it in the max omni 2 since it was done well before it came out I think. Or at least do a nice oversized hardcover. Who knows maybe Ennis has more Punisher planned?

>Jeez, man, how long have you been collecting?
It's fairly easy to make your money work for you. Once you start buying in bulk, as long as you sell a few keys, you end up with more than you spent.

To be honest, I can see why this would be underwhelming compared to a few modern comics that have played with the medium more than those in the past.
Promethea is a blind buy for me so who knows. I'm just glad to get some Moore that's still new to me.

Anyone going to any of the Urasawa events in London this week as part of his new exhibition? I'm seeing him for the live-drawing/QnA on Wednesday, so hyped

Thanks! I got it for a good price at my LCS during their Black Friday sale.

it's ironic :v)

Bruh the only one I've seen in months is listed for $99+shipping. I probably would break and get it, but I gotta save to move out. It had to be done.
Anyway, here's my actual shelf, Hellboy shrine on the top. I just realized animated HB fell over waaay in the back...

Y'know you could've just taken another picture without the Saga...

I'm fucking lazy, okay? I'll do it next time. Also busy with coursework. I sold Saga
in order to fund the hardcovers later down the line
Also, more Kirby FF coming up and Golden Age Namor so I need space

The works of Thomas Ott.

I have the first five volumes in storage, glad I'm not the only one ashamed to display it.

Why are you ashamed to display it?

No Guardian Devil and/or Parts of a Hole?

No.

>Guardian Devil
It ok, but I don't think it holds up as well as a lot of the stuff I have
>Parts of a Hole
I want that stuff but I missed the boat back when it was in print. Haven't read it online but I'm waiting for a new Daredevil MK print of some kind.
Related, I don't have Brubaker because
>UC3 out of print
>Omnibuses aren't my favourite thing

all of daredevil volume 2 is newly collected bro. search Marvel Knights Daredevil into amazon and take a look

Just looked it up. Balls, I gave up hope too soon and never checked again, it seems. Welp, that's another long term project

Parts of a Hole got reissued December last year! No excuse not to get it now.

I'll go check the shop again this weekend and if it's there for around $30 I will buy it again and we can figure something out if your in the US. I would hate for you to over pay for something that much.love your shelf man

I'm a big Marvelfag and like just about everything in the universe but the one thing that's always alluded me is The Punisher. I couldn't get into Ennis' stuff and really don't like his style. But I'm a true believer and I went back and checked out the 80s/90s stuff by Mike Baron and Chuck Dixon, and this is much more my speed. Having a great time with this stuff.

/end blogpost

So you've got four volumes from the new collections and one from the old?

I reckon I'll be the same. I prefer the old brand of crazy to Ennis'.

Really love the way comics were colored back then. Malibu was a mistake

How do you all keep your shelves from buckling under the weight of all your books? I've had 3 shelves over the course of 10 years break from all my comics.

Don't tell me that, I sleep under my books Then again there are worse ways to go than neck snapped by comics.

Had a discount card at a supermarket so I went for this, because there wasn't anything really interesting

Did the quality improved in the printing and translation?

Haven't read it, but with the discount I got ice cream so all is fine and it's nice that I didn't got yet another Seed of Destruction copy[/spoiler

I think the writing is rad but I dislike the art because of the coloring too much to continue. if you like the art though absolutely give it a whirl

/shelf/ is for all

Nah man, it's cool. It's my fault for not knowing how Discord works, I thought you just didn't want any shitposters crashing your chat haha

it'll be fun

I'll look for it elsewhere then

user I meant to write this to you but I got distracted by all that guys hellboy stuff. There is a shop in my town that sells older toys, collectables and older comics and I just went a few weeks ago and they had that hellboy figure.

God, it's been multiple years since I took pics of my collection. So few people still post in these threads I recognize.

Here's a tip kids, if your collection requires five separate photos, it's too much.

I paid 2.99 for Parts of the Hole just last week on Amazon.

As long as they aren't hags, CAT LOVING GUY, or a coward wizard.

...shit, you're right.

lads I get overwhelmed with how many great comics are out there.

just buy the ones you like

This is a problem indeed, but think of it this way: you've got a hobby for life.

I want more interesting hobbies that get girls

Johnny! You damn punk, I told you years ago to cough up those Madman books! And now I find you've got your dirty rat paws on a bunch of other good shit? Fuck. YOU.

Good to see some familiar shelves though.

>more interesting
What, like rock climbing?

but I like so many

Tell me which ones you want and I'll tell you which ones to buy.
HAJIME

>Gunslinger Edition vol 2 of the Sixth Gun is vanished from the Internet

For the best I suppose, saves me... several hundred dollars.

For example, running and playing guitar

I run three times a week and it hasn't gotten me any girls.

You'll have to pry then from my cold, dead, dirty rat hands.

Volunteer at the library. Higher chance of meeting women and you get a chance to check out physical copies before buying.

Actual librarian here, within my first month working I had underage girls groping my ass. Explain this.

don't be a skeleton

Just get love and rockets

This is pretty legit.

>girls groping my ass
How do I become a librarian or volunteer in one? I live near a big college

Well for me it all started when my sister got the job of actually running the place and nepotism handled the rest.
>I live neat a big college
Just go the campus library and ask if they'll have you.

>order a book from Amazon instead of IST to save 12ish dollars

I think I've made a terrible mistake.

do i need a fancy resume

For volunteer work that doesn't pay anything? Not really.

>Playing guitar
It doesn't get you girls, trust me
Update: Printing quality is better, the translation is BAD

have sex

yes I do. and agreed, if you make your own shelf, use birch plywood and dado your shelves, then glue and brad nail them in you are set. Also make sure your backing is fairly strong so that it square's your shelf better, and again wood glue and brad nail it.

damn man...

Awesome! I work for a company that makes machinery for woodworkers so I always loved your shelf, I dont do any wood working myself though. If i remember correctly there is mini shelfs in the middle that swing open. Great stuff man. I really love the idea of shelf that was intended to store and display comics.

factually false. I have gotten girls by playing both heavy metal (Death/Black Metal band) and by play acoustic love songs. Either you just suck at performance or your music is shit

yup, here is an old photo of how those work. I keep my D&D dice and other things in there now

Attached: shelf new2.jpg (3264x2448, 1.47M)

God...I honestly can't believe I filled this whole thing up in about a year...had to buy a second shelf

Attached: shelf new cube.jpg (3237x2725, 1.1M)

how does this even work

Steal boards, that's what I do.

cause I posted sideways apparently, you see the bottom middle of the picture. There is a hinge you can see there, it in on the inside though so only the actual hinge is visible on the outside, all the screws are concealed on the inside. It worked out really well actually.

shall I start calling you Board user instead?

Nah, it is a shelf already, I'll drop the joke now then.

What's the point of it?

I love your Lord Guan

I'm just being an ass
the original idea was that novels can fit 2 deep in a comic shelf, so I ran with it. and I've ALWAYS been a huge fan of hidden compartments and stuff, comes from the whole fantasy trope of hidden stuff. So why the hell not do it if I'm making my own.
thanks, I love it too, was a gift from my sister

I'd rather have a bookshelf that doubles as a door to a closet

I was going to do that for my sisters house, it was going to be a secret hatch for boardgames/Roleplaying Games/comics. But she's mostly gone into other things, she runs a norse reenactment club now and doesn't do as much D&D so her secret stash is on hold now

Also, last post, 500 achieved, thanks all, was a good thread.

since the /shelf/ is tanked now anyway. Anyone like looking back and laughing over their old pictures of their collections? this feels so pleb

Was she good?

I can't give you a source so this could just be someone pulling it out of their ass and me wanting it to be true, but I've read that Ennis has two stories planned if MArvel is interested. One is a story from his second tour when he worked with Fury and the other is a modern story.

And why wouldn't Marvel be interested? Ennis Punisher is always good.

Nothing really meant by it. That was just how it was phrased when I read it and how it stuck in my mind.
