that is Warlord 22-63, about 40-50 issue of Chuck Dixon Nightwing and about 60+ issues of Silver Surfer (those last two were basically fill a bag for $20 so I filled more than two and he didn't care)

this is a bunch of randoms from dollar bins.

actually all 3 of these were dollar bins (or less) finds. Like how do you have the entire run of 1602 in a dollar bin? Storm is missing issue 1 and 12, but Avengers Invaders is full, all of Ellis Hellblazer, a small gap in Azzarello's Hellblazer but fuck...finding this much Hellblazer for a buck each was nice.

my stack of signed stuff except for the right column. oh yeah, OP pic trades are signed by Tom Grummet (X-Men Forever) and Beauty signed by Haun. I had a lot of fun talking to creators this year, all of them were very friendly. Though Mark Texeria was a bit...stand offish, but when I showed him the Thor to sign he opened up a bit and said how challenging an issue it was cause it was so emotional.

>Like how do you have the entire run of 1602 in a dollar bin?
I get it at comic stores where they don't know shit, but I've found Kirby issues at my LCS in the dollar bin before. I don't get that shit.

This week I only bought the first Snyder's JL trade, maybe I'll get more stuff tomorrow.

The Ellis Hellblazer makes me jealous.

who are the best Hellblazer writers?
>Delano
>Ennis
>Ellis
>Carey
who am I missing?

Jenkins is fine, Diggle run could had been fine but got cut too short, i haven't checked out anything post vertigo aside from the first series so I don't know if the list grew bigger but I'm doubtful it has

All the postVertigo stuff has sucked, but Spurrier's new book might be good.

Oh yeah, I read some Jenkins from the library, I liked it. Actually made me a big fan of everything Jenkins does. His Thor is one of the best Thor Books ever.

His Spider-man was great too, aside from Ramos art in some parts.

>Warlord
nice choice, user. How much did the bag cost?

I haven't bought anything yet. But I am going to take my nephew for the first time to a comic shop this Thursday. I already told him he can get whatever he wants.

Recent Moon Knight Annual by Bunn was really good. Check it out lads.
He will certainly be getting an ongoing to coincide with the upcoming show. Any guess on who the writer will be? Perhaps Bunn again

he price tagged it as $80 but told me to make a deal. So I went through his dollar bin and $2 bin and grabbed about 20 other comics and offered him $80 for it all and he made the deal. DESU I didn't get much good from his dollar bin except maybe that Sergio comic. Still, I can't complain, he tagged me as a Grell fan immediately and he was losing money at the con cause he was buying shit from other vendors, so he just need profit and marked me but not in a bad way

Cullen Bunn already had a stellar run in MK if he writes it again I'm in.

I have high hopes for Spurrier, Coda was so good, I want to get it but the first trade is not available in the local Amazon and is overpriced at the LCS that has it.

I agree that has all sucked in general. I would rate them though, from most suckage to least, as
>Constantine
Then the DCYou and Rebirth series are kind of at the same level. I'd give the edge to the DCYou series though, because I preferred the artists (Riley Rossmo, even though he was slow and had to have fill-ins, Ming Doyle, Travel Foreman, and Vanessa del Rey)
>Constantine, the Hellblazer
>The Hellblazer

The rebirth series showed a little promise (returning John to Britain), but quickly faltered. The writer they got brought back long forgotten Delano lore (Mercury and the travellers), but pretty much wasted his twelve issues telling a meandering story that never got resolved. Tim Seeley wrote a more cape-ish arc (The JL appears in a dream sequence, and Huntress stars in his second arc), then someone random did a two-parter about Constantine in the US again. Seeley returned for another arc (connected to his first), but the damage had already been done, and the book was cancelled.
It's funny, both Tynion/Doyle and Seeley had John trying to pull off big gambits in their last arcs, and those arcs mostly worked.

Shit, I meant to make a note about the rebirth series' art.
It was almost entirely uninteresting. Hellblazer is no stranger to odder art styles, but this series was rough. Moritat was phoning it in for the first arc, and then it sort of turned into fill-in mode. The funniest fill-in was Philip Tan. Tan's art can be great (and he did some good stuff in the New 52), but THIS just didn't fit the story that was being told. Not really right for Hellblazer, but more interesting than the sort of "house" stuff that came later.

Delet this

I just saw there's going to be a signing of some big artists near my house this weekend
should I bring a ton of books to get signed? is that rude or awkward? should I ask for a sketch? The only one I've ever met before is Liefeld

This week I bought the Werewolf by Night omnibus and the FF by Byrne omni.

don't bring too many books, like 3 max unless you are buying stuff at the table. I think Sketches are voluntary, but idk too much about that

>should I bring a ton of books to get signed?
I think 3 is a reasonable number, but if you must get more I would do it in batches, get three and get back in line.

>should I ask for a sketch?
They will probably add something small of their own volition but dont expect that they should. If you want a sketch in another piece of paper they will ask to pay them too, almost certainly.

What I hate is going to those "upscale" thrift stores that get stuff donated and then go on line and price it based on ebay. The had unbagged and taken out the boards and put a bunch of floppies into regular bankers boxes (like copy paper boxes) where they can swim around with all that extra space, and were trying to sell 1990s and 2000s issues for $3. They don't even sell their Playboys/Penthouses from the same time frame as expensively.

Can't wait for all of you to get buyer's remorse in 5 years and then trash your boxes of floppies after realizing this industry is doomed forever

Please put these threads on hold until I get paid so I’m able to buy more books, thank you for understanding everyone

Anyone bought the physical copy of Cheshire Crossing?
I finished it yesterday then I learned that it's cheap to get a copy and that I'm in love with Alice.
Also the artist is one of /pol/'s favorite toys, but that's neither here nor there.

>What's with the pornstars underneath?
you're comic con's don't have a bunch of lewds? this was some burlesque dancer selling a bunch of cards where she made goddess write ups on the back of each. Chatted up her and her husband for a while, very nice people. Fuck Sandiego Comiccon where they don't allow that stuff anymore, let people have fun

Anyone have the Infinite Crisis omnibus? How is it with that page count? I want the contents but not the massive tome, and the way the tie-ins are collected in trades seem absolutely retarded.

Me.

Big ones for me are Ewing's Ultimates 2 and Unnatural vol. 3.

Remember kids, it pays to visit your local library from time to time.

Here's what I've been able to buy from mine over the last year or so.

>tfw no Hellsing Omnibus
What are you waiting for Dark Horse?!

Well we don't really have proper comic cons in the sense of the word, no... Just a very expensive merch sale of items I don't give a fuck about, no artists beyond some "big head on the beach" caricaturist, and a Let's Dance Tournament. Oh wait how could I forget, the two stands where they sell dollar bin floppies at mint/new prices despite being OLD AS BALLS and in poor condition some of them, and the other where they sell the most pedestrian trades and hardcovers also at international prices and make it so they're doing you a favor because "the economy, y'know". Ah, and the "Lolita Cosplay" section, which is absolutely not what you think.

Anyway cool cards man, they look nice, I like porn/sexy stuff but not when it's posted on the board, that's my limit (not your stuff, that stuff is nice).

We need to see inside pages to properly evaluate

A Hellsing hardcover would be really nice.

I really dig those out of continuity standalone miniseries/trades that celebrate a character. I'm thinking of stuff like All Star Superman, the Loeb/Sale books , Alex Ross " The World's Greatest Superheroes", Cooke's DC New Frontier , Silver Surfer Requiem.
What are some other Miniseries like these.

Harrow County was very enjoyable, problem is I've completely forgotten it's second half. I'm sure it's good, but it didn't leave an impression.

Anybody else very disappointed by Berserker Unbound?

Fucking hell. I've ordered so much recently, telling myself I would hold off for a while, and now just tomorrow's new releases alone are a full order. Headlopper vol. 3, Beasts of Burden vol. 2, 20th Century Boys vol. 5.

Based. I was slightly curious about Tommy Gun Wizards too.

Was issue 2 bad? I know I was pissed when I realized Deodato was clearly tracing. I've never read a book by him before, and I really liked the art until that suddenly clicked and ruined it for me.

Went to SPX this past weekend and bought too much stuff. Have a few pics but i’ll Just post one for now. Still exhausted and glad to be back in town, but it was an amazing time, as it always is. Got to meet some of my faves again too, like Simon Hanselmann, Katie Skelly, and Jaime Hernandez.

Nice, thanks for the answer, wasn’t there another colored issue? If not I have to check them out, what’re the stories about without too many spoilers.

Captain America White
>what’re the stories about without too many spoilers.
They're about the early years of the character

They're not really unique stories. More like tributes.
Captain America White is recounting his origin
Spider-Man Blue is Pete reminiscing about Gwen Stacy's Death.

They're all retrospectives/tributes on the early years of the characters.

They're very good in my experience, and they tend to add the regular stuff you see in the trades. Don't get cold feet! I'm going to buy it too.

Frank Thorne (yes, the Red Sonja guy) had a comic in Playboy. Guy is the archetype of the perv artist. Playboy used to attract a lot of good talent in its heyday.

My local one.
People donate books all the time, and normally they end up selling them dirt cheap instead of adding them to the collection. It's rare, but comics sometimes come in too.

When I say dirt cheap, I mean DIRT CHEAP. That whole thing was less than $3.

Bro fuck you how lucky, so if I go to my library and see if they have any donations (specifically comics) they might have some

Thanks a lot, will definitely put them on the list to buy

Marvel-now was my first foray into comics, when ever I get new stuff I give them away to friends to make space. Ive got a fair bit of manga (mostly shonen garbage but I like it) but the notable stuff ive got is the complete run of vagabond, some jojo and some junji ito.

My library doesn't sell floppies, but I've gotten some decent trades at dirt cheap prices. Some good fucking books too. Discard sales rules.

The pages are holding just fine but the inner paper bit of the spine? has peeled away a bit, probably because I didnt stretch the spine when I read it

Mainly the villains. Boxman, Agent 312, and Princess Venom. But it’s been a while (thankfully)

Yeah there are some very recognizible shelves but none of them use trips /shelf/ is a strange general.

I actually use a trip, but I drop it when I post here... I don't like attracting unwanted attention, it's better this way. Plus like you said, lots of these shelves are recognizable on their own, no need to insert ourselves in them.

Good uncle, I have also been going this recently with my nieces and nephew, make sure they know how to take care of them and buy him the $1 reprints if you can in the case he’s destructive. No point in getting an original comic or expensive one only to have it ripped up.

Big Damn Sin City is OOP, right? What'd you pay for it?

undeniably

Definitely OOP but not too terribly rare. Got mine for 90 which is a steal

Invasion was pretty crappy. I'm pretty sure that Giffen said back when they were collecting it that "DC must finally be scraping the bottom of the barrel!", which is funny because he's doing that pseudo sequel to it right now that you bought. It was the second or third year after CoIE, and DC was in "do big yearly events" mode (see also Millennium and Legends to a much lesser extent). It has some good Todd McFarlane art for the first two issues, then Bart Sears takes over (McFarlane had to go back to Spider-Man).
Claremont seemed to have a weird thing for it, because he parodied it in one of his Outback X-Men series (with the Dominator's Gene Bomb replaced by a JEAAAAN Bomb).

A couple of the tie-ins were great though. Ostrander used it to highly elevate his Suicide Squad story (the Squad had just been revealed to the press following the assassination of a US Senator, and Waller used the Invasion to get good PR).
Swamp Thing was also sent back in time due to one of the Dominator's weapons.

Invasion did directly lead to the excellent Giffen/Grant/Kitson L.E.G.I.O.N. series. I expect some references to that team in the new series.

I really enjoyed it, I bought the whole Ghost saga plus his return, I was very pleased with it.

That is a big damn steal. Good for you user

Conway described the inspiration in an interview from 1987: "I was fascinated by the Don Pendleton Executioner character, which was fairly popular at the time, and I wanted to do something that was inspired by that, although not to my mind a copy of it. And while I was doing the Jackal storyline, the opportunity came for a character who would be used by the Jackal to make Spider-Man's life miserable. The Punisher seemed to fit."[8]

wtf I hate the punisher now

Shut the fuck up Boco

Do you ever double dip on special editions?

Attached: toe5ofjb8ga11.jpg (3024x4032, 907K)

Only if it's in like the top 5 percentile of stuff I've ever read

I've only read the Bus from him, I need to grab that book and his Hieronymus Bosch one

Is it that obvious?

Cool. What's qualified for you so far?

Off the top of my head? Hellboy (went from trades to libraries), Batman Year One (went from trade to absolute. Great absolute to have by the way, since it includes copies of both colorings on both paper stocks.) DC new frontier (paperbacks to absolutes, what an awesome comic.) Bendis Daredevil (went from trades to omnibuses, which I had sold them off when I heard the news of the reprint. Woulda made a cozy buck.) Miller Daredevil (also trades to omnis.)

Probably a bunch more. Usually it's a case of going from trade to omni. The omni has to also be affordable. Like, I'd love to replace my Thor Masterworks 1-3 with the Thor Omnibus 1 but that thing is like a thousand bucks so no thank you.

Tell me about that Paul Kirchner book, I've been looking for a collection of Dope Rider for a while.

bump

Its rad. I dont think its a complete Dope Rider but id need to do more research. Its just a bunch of selected works including some fun smut

Guessing from what his website says, I think it might be all the old Dope Rider stuff and extras, before he brought it back in 2014. Probably planning on releasing a second volume when there's enough material.

there's that guy who has all the chew stuff including a boat load of chogs.

Just saw this in the new Marvel solicits;

>DAREDEVIL/ELEKTRA: LOVE AND WAR GALLERY EDITION HC

Are these just oversized editions or IDW-style 'artist editions' where the artwork is in the original format?

rad. Dude is great

Enjoy that Hellboy my dude. The first trade I ever bought was Hellboy vol 8, from a dusty old used book shop with a huge porno section in the back.

Usually gallery edition means artist edition.

Nice, I've got my eye on that Future Shocks book. I might move that up in the queue.
Hope you like Hungry Ghosts. I thought it was a bit lack luster but not bad.

Yeah that's what I thought, but in the past Marvel have always licensed their artist editions to IDW

Both Elektra Lives Again and Love and War were printed in a wide format larger than the normal trade or issue, so the Gallery Edition will probably present the art in it's original or larger format and not squished to normal comic size like the omnibus does

well idw's pretty much out of business, so who knows

what, how am I supposed to get my duck comics now

If we keep buying Orc Stain he will come back to the book...right?
Kinda, cause I'm in lots of your storytimes

I'm serious. Back in February, their adaptation of Wynonna Earp was halted as the company was looking at selling.
In March they hired J P Morgan to consider a total sale of their holdings.
In June, IDW Media Holdings reported a $3.7 million net loss, with $1.6 million coming from their comic publishing. That was the second quarter financials.
Last week quarter 3 was released, and they lost another $1.5 million

I keep chancing upon copies of Akira #38. I believe this is the 10th copy I've bought. With the announcement of the remake, it might soon be time to sell.

On an unrelated note, I'll be traveling to LA from Japan for the first time in a few days. I'm bringing my largest suitcase to stock up on comics.

Which shops in the LA area would be great for older floppies or discounted/remainder marked trades?

Oh in that case I'll pass, already have L&W in its glorious original magazine format. Thanks for the info

Bring back magazine format reeeee

Yeah IDW are certainly in an interesting place right now, curious to see where they'll be in a year to come

Hey me boyos are the new editions of Knightfall good quality? Are they newsprint or glossy paper? Thanks.

Hell yes, I love 2099. Were these just a random assortment of issues you found or did you want these particular ones?

>I believe this is the 10th copy I've bought.
Our boy Piskor refers to this as a "rescue mission"

Why are horror comics so looked down upon? I think they're great, but it seems like they receive so little attention.

You can say that about everything that isn't superheroes

Are they? I always thought Steve Niles, Templesmith and their publishing group actually brought them into a bit of a spotlight

Todays new stuff, and headlopper vol 1 because I gave my copy away

>watching a lot of books on eBay

JUST

Literally the biggest western genre outside of cape, what are you smoking?

How much did you pay? Where do you keep finding them? English or Japanese?

They'd have called it "oversized" or prestige format if it was that. Gallery edition is usually original artwork.

Piskor? The Grand Design hack?

no, the genius

Piskor is /ourguy/ you fuck

What is genius about soulless recapping?

And then I made a rookie move and bid at seven seconds instead of like three so I lost to some cheeky cunt bidding another buck JUST

Then you're pretty casual.

We can only hope

>copy Kyle Baker's KRS-One comic
>but boring and without style

have you seriously never heart of Steve Niles? Have you never read Vertigo?

Great stuff. Alack Sinner is fantastic. I need to buy The Puma Blues at some point. I loved Zulli's TMNT issues

Got this today. I'm a little disappointed... There is only 50 pages of classic Katy. I expected a mix of eras because that's what Archie does but I really thought the book would be at least half Woggon. Oh well it is what it is.

Ive heard great things on Alack Sinner but this was sorta a blind purchase. I got them both for 15$ total so I figured it was a well worth blind buy.

>Were these just a random assortment of issues you found or did you want these particular ones?
Great question, and Well a little of both really, went to a couple LCS over some time and checked their 2099 stock and bought what I could when I could. Surprisingly rare, the only character that anyone has the original copies is Spiderman. Bought the Punisher 2099 #1 as a sign from God that I should have it (went looking specifically for it and it was the ONLY issue there at really cheap) couldn’t say no. Still haven’t found any Doom, or Ravage, or GR, or Hulk 2099. But I shall continue looking.
My personal favorites are SM2099#1, #15, #33

Yeah I've never been able to find any 2099 outside of SM2099 at any of my LCS. Found my copy of #1 in a dollar bin sale one of my shops was having, and just the other week found a copy of SM2099 Special and 2099 AD Apocalypse(and the foiling on it is ridiculous) in the dollar section at another shop, beats buying them online and lord knows I'll probably never see a full collected version of the 2099 line. Did buy some Ghost Rider 2099 online from mycomicshop and it was definitely worth it.

And Usagi Yojimbo just jumped to IDW

Why did that happen?

June

sorry, I haven't heard of either of those.

I'm pretty sure you are joking

no

Well then you have some homework to do, go read comics or not and just keep shit posting

>Found my copy of #1 in a dollar bin sale one of my shops was having
Lucky as hell, I got the #2 SM2099 for $1.
>Did buy some Ghost Rider 2099 online from mycomicshop and it was definitely worth it.
I need some GR2099 in my life it was one of my favorite runs with the best adaption of the character.
>just the other week found a copy of SM2099 Special and 2099 AD Apocalypse(and the foiling on it is ridiculous) in the dollar section at another shop
the foiling is the absolute best on all the first issues and the reason why I bought the first issue of SM and Punisher.

Man Conan Exodus was great. Pick it up boyos

Anybody going to the Harrisburg comic con this weekend?

it was pretty good. But honestly the best comic coming out now is HoXPoX, the only thing that is close is Lucifer.

Agreed. I already posted about it earlier in the thread. Just fucking incredible. I hope Ribic does another.

Yeah HoX was great too. Emma is based

Let me save you guys 5-10 minutes: it's a heap of crap. Even Pichelli's pencils are butchered.

what is funny is that Emma seems to be the most in character and the one not completely brain washed by X. I'm fucking loving the nudest mutant storyline but wow it's weird.
ya fuck that, this is nepotism at it's peak

Is there much chance of Big Damn Sin City being reprinted or did the second movie tanking kind of kill the chances of that ever happening?
