Does the new Epic version of Bishop's Crossing have the rest of the Jim Lee X-Men run?
Dylan Murphy
Sadly no. Even though it's 50 bucks, it cuts off with the last two Lee stories uncollected.
Hell, it even omits the second half of Shattershot (only the X-Men/Uncanny parts are collected).
And it makes for even more problems in that they'll not be able to reprint the Xcutioner's Song crossover in full for the next volume due to space issues unless they split it over the next two volumes.
Joseph Green
They could get around it by doing a smaller volume for Volume 21. Especially since there are some filler they can put in the volume to make it somewhat bigger.
>>the Nightcrawler/Wolverine team-up story where Kurt FINALLY finds out that the X-Men are alive and reunites with Logan that should have been included in an Excalibur epic
>>The two part X-Men/Excalibur team up from Excalibur
Avengers #350-351 (foreshadowing the return of the Acolytes and Bloodlines)
Maybe toss in an extensive edit of Infinity Wars reprinting the portion of the story that involves the X-Men/Wolverine.
Carter Jenkins
I'm interested to see how these Penguin Marvel collections end up being. Hopefully they're closer to the Taschen ones.
Lucas Adams
Well I got these. Inuyashiki is a better superhero comic than anything the Big 2 has released in the last 20 years.
Also as someone relatively new to Love & Rockets, I've reached the conclusion that Gilbert > Jaime
Adam Walker
Anyone know if we are going to get a Wheeler/Veitch Swamp Thing omnibus anytime soon? It's the only remaining patch of Swamp Thing material yet to be collected.
Henry Perez
Who knows. I know Veitch throws a temper tantrum whenever talk about reprinting his run comes up because DC doesn't want to finish/publish his "Jesus was a white magic wizard and the three wise men were actually devil worshippers trying to kill him" story and that seems to be an issue that Veitch won't drop.
And Wheeler's run is widely reviled by ST fans.
I'm just shocked we can't get a proper Hellblazer style comprehensive reprint series based on the 80s Swamp Thing run personally. Or the fact that the Absolutes are OOP and no one wants to actually fucking SCAN the Absolute volumes so people can actually see the recolor job as opposed to people complaining about it without any actual proof it sucks
Austin Green
Veitch's run was reprinted but the trades are long out of print.
A comprehensive reprinting of Swamp Thing isn't happening anytime soon though, since DC spent a huge chunk of money recoloring the Moore run and they just finally put out the Plasko run as part of the Bronze Age series. Unless they do a screwy sort of thing and start a new line beginning with the Veitch run through the Millar run and expect fans to just mix and match the Saga and Bronze Age trades.
Logan Harris
>Veitch's run was reprinted but the trades are long out of print.
Not all of it.
Connor Price
I think the lack of actual scans of Absolue Swamp Thing is due to the fact there are a lot of people, in the scanning community in particular, that get super fucking pissy and high and mighty when it comes to shitty on ANY recoloring of classic comics. IE they will explicitly refuse to scan it so people can make their own decisions about said recolors.
See also how impossible it is to find the Walt Simonson Thor recolors and how even the Sandman recolors have started to go bye-bye in favor of only the original comic scans and original first edition comic color trades being available.
Zachary Ward

>another Slaine book
Nicholas Phillips

Blake Lewis
Invalid answer, literally impossible to buy for a reasonable price anywhere. I gave you the options.
Camden Foster
Another slaine book if its pre-brutania chronicles.
I could never get into nemesis despite owning it in the phone books and the 2000ad ultimate collecrion.
Third world War if youre on brutania chronicles.
Pic related is this weeks deliveries.
Jonathan Garcia
Slaine it is then. How do you feel about The Book of Invasions?
Dominic Reed
Theyre not the strongest but they are decent enough reads.
Its been while since ive read them but i do remember thinking they werent as steong as.they books before.
That said, slaine as a whole is good though. Just a shame that mills has ended it early. I hope rebellion dont continue it with another writer.
Colton James
Anyone reading Super Meshi?

Cooper Stewart
Latest. Crickets 7 finally came out. I haven't read it yet, but the other issues are incredible so I have high hopes.
I just read Dynamite Diva and was fairly impressed. The stories are all B-movie affair, but Japser is a hell of a drawer. Great book.
>Also as someone relatively new to Love & Rockets, I've reached the conclusion that Gilbert > Jaime
I definitely agree early on. I think Jaime grows into his storytelling style a bit later on. They're both amazing though.
The paperbacks do look pretty shit. I think the hardcovers look fine though.

Cartoonist Kayfabe and One Piece's new chapters have made me interested in Plastic Man.
Jace White
Other than weebshit (first 3 Berserk deluxes, all of Vinland Saga, Uzumaki, the latest Nagata Kabi book, most of Yotsuba) the only book I've picked up recently is the monstrously overpriced Hulk thing Folio put out.
Didn't even really want it, but I bought their Gold, Silver and Broze age sets, and the Cap and Spidey books, so I'm locked into buying whatever they put out forever now.
Matthew Long
I'd recommend checking out
>Jack Cole
Cole was an amazing cartoonist and doesn't get enough credit for being about as influential as guys like Kirby and Eisner. Original run is all public domain now
>Kyle Baker
Much more toony art style and a heavier focus on meta-humor poking fun at DC, great but different
>Phil Foglio
Only a mini but some fun if simple Plas adventures
Oliver Smith
Jack Cole is definitely what I'm interested in. Can I just pick up a random archive?
Levi Nguyen
Absolutely, the stories are all pretty self contained. You'll have to watch ebay for the first two volumes, but 3-8 all still have new copies on amazon.
Brandon Ortiz
To the list!
Joshua Collins
>Well I got these. Inuyashiki is a better superhero comic than anything the Big 2 has released in the last 20 years.
lol
the casuals of this board are a joke
Wyatt Lewis
It's absolutely true though, Inuyashiki is a genuinely good person who does good things for people for selfless reasons instead of having galas and pansexual orgies
Christopher Gonzalez
You don't read comics. We get it. Not sure why you're on Yea Forums if you haven't read anything published in the last 20 years though.
Ryan Gutierrez
I got my whale!
Matthew Adams
I see you're not acknowledging the point being made and chose to ignore the jab against X-Men. That's okay, the current state of the Big 2 is indefensible, I wouldn't want to be in your shoes either.
Dylan Gomez
>Comics are only attributed to writers
Disgusting.
Owen Taylor
>I see you're not acknowledging the point being made
But I did, posting a chart that shows around 50 good comics from the last two decades. You do know there are other comics than X-Men right?
Henry Clark
>Fantastic Four attributed to Jack Kirby
>Spider-Man attributed to Steve Ditko
But I wouldn't expect a weeb casual to know shit about who those people are
Kevin Lopez
Nice. I could buy Crickets #4 & 5 but I can’t get #6 cheaply. The wait for the tpb is killing me.

Luis Jones

Jaxon Scott
My haul from last month, got some pretty good prices on these
Angel Roberts
There's some 60 titles you listed from the last 20 years, many of which are not Big 2 or superhero books (notice how in each of your posts you also ignore those two aspects and have now multiple times tried to shift the conversation into ALL books published in the past 20 years rather than specifically Big 2 superhero books like I was talking about)
Of the titles you listed some are so obviously inferior (Doctor Doom, Tom King Batman, that Emma Frost series) I can't be sure if you're actually being serious or not.
All-Star Superman, Spider-Man Life Story, Fraction's Hawkeye, Seven Soldiers of Victory and Superior Foes of Spider-Man are the only titles on there that I'd consider to be worthwhile in this discussion (Dark Mirror is not a good story, it's too tryhard and edgy with Gordon's son)
Al Ewing is one of the most overrated hacks in the industry right now. Immortal Hulk was good for spotting references to older, better Hulk runs.
Gillen's Journey into Mystery is throwing me for a loop here, I'm not sure if it even is a superhero story.
All in all you posted a big image with lots of things in it but offered very little to the actual conversation.
Jace Watson
So you admit there was good capeshit in the last twenty years. Thanks for your concession, weeb.
Luke Robinson
Emma Frost isn't a superhero book, so you listing it among the "inferior" ones tells me you haven't actually read the crap you're complaining about. Color me shocked
Samuel Taylor
I never said there wasn't? I just said Inuyashiki is a better superhero story. Which it is.
But you're not looking to have a conversation. Just as soon as you saw I actually could talk about these series you posted in a desperate attempt to overwhelm me, you turn tail and run.
Sad! Many such cases! Next time you make claims, please be ready to back them up.
Jack Wright
You got me. I just picked it randomly.
Angel Sullivan
Inuyashiki, a shallow surface level story you forget after it's done with traced 3D models, is better than All-Star Superman, Life Story, Hawkeye and Seven Soldiers? You're a deluded weeb. Go back to And you complain about books you haven't read, too.
Aaron Parker
If Emma Frost is the hill you want to die on, go ahead I guess.
Joseph James
Is Tom Scioli's biography of Jack Kirby actually good? I'm very resistant to reading it because he keeps shilling it on Cartoonist Kayfabe and those guys always fellate each others' work to uncomfortable levels
Lincoln Walker
Yes. Maybe spend less time on Youtube and more time reading comics
Hudson James
For fans of S Craig Zahler, he has another comic being released this year. This time by Dark Horse. The Forbidden Surgeries of the Hideous Dr. Divinus was really good so I'm excited for his next comic, also his movies and novels are great.
Liam Jenkins
Wow you're really confrontational calm down I didn't insult it or anything go pick on the weeb more
Levi Young
>first day of the month
>already over my comics budget
And I have been for like two weeks prior. My life is pain.
>expect fans to just mix and match the Saga and Bronze Age trades.
This isn't unreasonable at all, considering their Bronze Age line was very defined branding, and Saga has been marketed as Moore's work for years. They totally still won't do it, but not because of something so banal like this.
Adam Ortiz
I'm trying to play it smart and plan six months ahead. Got so many Epic Collections I want to get it's a hassle to fit them in. On one hand I wish Marvel did fewer of them but on the other hand I do want them.
Leo Russell
One of the vol. 6s of Conan went out of stock in IST and I ohnonono'd into buying them both on CGN, so that was $160 right there. I'm not missing a volume this far in, goddamn it. And then Fanta dropped their sale, so I had to take advantage. A functional 50% off, and from a publisher themselves no less, is hard to pass up.
A breathed a large sigh of relief after I checked IST's spring sale and it was all crap or stuff I have.
Andrew Garcia
Congrats, user.
Christian Harris
Ive been eyeing that creeping death from neptune for ages. How is it?
Lucas King
I found it really dull. Its probably better than most Bond books but I havent found any Bond comics that are any good
Adrian Bennett
Copra and Red Sonja are kino
Ethan Sanchez
Gilbert definitely starts out stronger than Jaime.
However, after reading a huge chunk of their comics, Jaime is the greater of the two.
Inuyashiki seems like it's absolutely not worth reading, especially based on prior experience with Hiroya Oku manga.
Henry Smith
Which Star Wars comics are worth it? I love Legacy and will be reading The Old Republic soon. How's Empire, Rebellion, New Republic, Rise of the Sith, Clone Wars, and Original Marvel Years? What about the new stuff marvel has put out?
Caleb Watson
Will be interesting to hear if you’ll have to same opinion later. Like the other user said many/most seem to have Jaime as their fav after the beginning while Beto gets his dues for his side projects like Blubber these days
Ryder Young

I saw the Spider Gwen omnibus on sale at my LCS, are the stories and characters any good? Or is it just pandering to a perceived market?

unless your a huge spiderman fan i wouldnt get it i try a couple of time to get into it but its just like drinking water just bland and forgettable. theirs better stuff out there if your looking to spend that type of cash......then again this is coming from a DC fan so take my review with a grain of salt

Angel Robinson
Does marvel not print their epic collection in order? I'm looking for an avengers epic collection 19 and as far as I can tell it doesn't exist despite there being a vol 18 and 20+
Jason Campbell
Yeah, I bet they are hard to come by now. I've been buying them since issue 3, so I've never had an issue. I did manage to get issue 1 for like 4 bucks recently though. Lucky
I've only started actually reading it recently, but it's pretty amazing so far. Wolverton is such a singular artist. Really great reproductions of the artwork too. The color pages look especially good.
I need to grab the other volume soon just in case it goes out of print.
William Kelly
They print popular stories first and then if the line itself is popular they come back to fill in the gaps
Joshua Barnes
>They print popular stories first and then if the line itself is popular they come back to fill in the gaps.
Strange caused 19 will have the Bryne issues of Avengers. You'd think this e would be pretty popular
Easton James
Nope and it's a major point of frustration for many people. Eventually they'll get everything in epic format so I don't really care. I'm just waiting for the rest of Stern's Avengers to come out in epics.

This actually has everything all the way up to the Stern omni.
Eli Harris
Epic collections are printed out of order because they were created to replace the Essential line so they didn't want fans miffed about having to start all over again plus the fact that by doing stuff out of order, they could also fill in gaps with existing omnibuses and trades/HCs that would allow fans who might not want to buy the Epic line, at the very least, buy volumes here or there to fill in gaps in their collections that normally would not get trades.
As for Avengers, NO ONE gives a fuck about Byrne's late 80s/early 90s main Avengers title run. He didn't draw it, just wrote it and most of the attention from that period was on West Coast Avengers (which he wrote and drew) and the dumpster fire that was in that book.
That said, Marvel will get to it eventually I bet. Though since they just released the WCA Epic with Acts of Vengeance in it, it may be a bit.
Nicholas Jackson
I see a copy for $6.25 online. You all are garbage.
Matthew Thomas
Is it true that they're printing Astro City hardcovers later. I just saw the new collected book at My LCS but I passed on it cause I want hardcovers
Carson Phillips
Busiek on twitter said he hopes for hardcovers but it depends on how well these sell. And I believe he also said it wouldnt be until after the whole thing is collected in paperback.
Brandon Bell
I'm still shocked that legit all (except for a different-format OGN) of OG Hellblazer and related minis has been collected
Camden Morris
>Image's refusal to do omnibuses strikes again
Asher Thomas
Omnibuses are a huge gamble and for a smaller company like Image it's not worth it unless it's an extremely proven seller.
William Perry
And reprinting Astro City is already a gamble because the sales data that Busiek would have from the last Vertigo run would show not-massive interest in singles or trades. Hell, by the end DC was printing HC's only because the softcovers were not "profitable".
Leo White
If you want physical editions of Jack Cole Plastic Man what you want are "Gwandanaland Comics". They reprint entire golden age runs in big fat collections available in full color or black and white. They are VASTLY more worth it than any of DC's overpriced reprint efforts. Just make sure you get the ones that are just Plastic Man stories and not all of Police Comics since the PC ones also include a bunch of other strips.
Jeremiah Lopez
>Walt Disney's Tales of Brer Rabbit Sunday Adventures 1945-1948
>Cancelled because Disney now being ultra strict with what licensees can publish
For fucks sake.
Daniel Kelly
In my experience Gwandanaland Comics don't have the best quality. I don't know if their Plastic Man collections are better.
Zachary James
is there any chance in hell that Hitman gets some sort of nice hardcover collected edition? If not, I was thinking of getting the trades and making a 2-3 custom hardcovers.
James Gonzalez
👍
Nice. I've been hunting for it myself.
Carson Taylor
Heavy Marvel fans don't realize how good they have it with Disney not paying attention to what they publish
Oliver Perry
The only chance would be if James Gunn wants to make a TV show. But even then chances are low because the only Peacemaker-adjacent reprint was Giffen's Suicide Squad (for Waller's daughter) when they could have made a small trade of Peacemaker's miniseries or better Vigilante collections.
Henry Johnson
Am I based or cringe ?
Brandon Hernandez
yeah one thing is taking a gamble with batman or spidy another is with a minor know IP like astro. then again it seems like covid was a huge benefit to collected edition market were apparently there was a big influx on new collectors
Owen Morgan
Oh shit, these are starting? Nice.
They're cheap enough with the typical discount that I'd totally be willing to swap them later if hardcovers come.
They're 500 pages. They may be softcover, but at least we're getting somewhere.
Isaiah Reyes
I got curious since I saw Dark Horse had solicited some new BPRD omnis - I was thinking they'd either finally be doing hardcover reprints or maybe they're new compilations with some different material or something. Judging from the contents and physical dimensions, they're literally just 1:1 reprints of the Plague of Frogs trades with different cover art.
What even is the point of them?
Dylan Hughes
its DC man i wouldnt hold my breath but theres a small chance if hbo decided to make a show about the boys
cringe because its to messy also get a hard plastic covers for those issues user
Samuel Edwards
They probably want to rebrand them, because if you're some newfag standing around in a book store you're going to get confused looking at the different first volumes.
Thomas Lewis
to make everyone who missed the hc seeth when they reprint them with new covers but in tpb only
Josiah Nelson
Oh, and
B.P.R.D. library editions WHEN
Noah Morgan
Sorry dweebs, no Yea Forums material of late, only Yea Forums.
Hey also, did anyone manage to snag one of those JLA/Avengers books a couple weeks ago? I had a look on eBay and unsurprisingly it's already full of scalped copies
I think is on the money, they probably figured internally that "BRPD omnibus Vol. 1 - 12" or whatever is less offputting to potential new buyers than Plague of Frogs 1-4, Hell on Earth 1-5, 19XX-19YY so on and so on.
Jack Russell

a comic cant be good without a good writer, a comic can be good without a good artist. (EX peter bagge)
Jeremiah Smith
Japananon. Used book fair in Kanda, and I picked up these for ~$1 each.
Near complete set of Orion, Chronos and Claremont's Fantastic Four run (missing a few minor keys though, like FF 11 and 27). It'll probably cost me an annoying amount to fill in these collections, but it was fun just finding comics for so cheap here.
Wyatt Reed
>a comic cant be good without a good writer, a comic can be good without a good artist.
I couldn't disagree with this more, but you're calling someone super stylized like Bagge "bad," so we have very different understandings of what that means for this medium.
Elijah Reyes

i was out of the fucking country when it came out but from my buddy who goes to the same lcs it only got 2 and the owner kept one and resold the other on ebay reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Kayden Hernandez
Gwandanaland just collects the available public domain scans in whatever quality they may be. A lot of yellow pages with tears and stains. The DC Archives aren't perfect, but at least they're fully legible.
Zachary Lewis

Is House of Mystery and Grayson any good?
Luis Cruz
Byrne's run was reprinted a couple of years back and was recently released as an omnibus.
Slott had a run too with decent cover art but IIRC is out of print.
Angel Morris
house of mystery was so-so anthology stories with usually very good art.
Landon Thomas
One problem with doing a Waid omnibus is that Waid fucked off for a year and Morrison/Millar filled in but kept all of Waid's storylines going. So any volume 2 is going to have a huge fucking gap in it.
Jack Sullivan
Grayson sucks (it's Dick as a spy following Forever Evil).
House of Mystery is hit or miss like most Silver Age DC anthology books and Volume 3 will be the post salad days (meaning no big name artists slumming). BUT House of Mystery has some decent art even with lesser known folk and each issue has about 3-4 stories, so law of averages usually works out for you in the end.
Nathan Diaz
Fist of North Star any good?
Kayden Morgan
Only for historical context.
It was the very first action manga about fighting that hit it big in Japan, along with shamelessly ripping off Road Warrior in aesthetics back when it was still fresh and exciting and not done to death.
So if you've read a lot of action manga, it will seem a bit old fashion and the violence super tame and the Road Warrior/post apocalyptic stuff been done to death and better by others.
Adding to this, is that the writing is mostly episodic and features a major original sin: the main arc you think will drive the series (rescuing the girlfriend) is resolved in the first four-five chapters and in utterly anticlimatic fashion (she killed herself shortly after being kidnapped).
So after a bunch of episodic stuff, the writer ass-pulled a new big bad who somehow was the "real mastermind" behind the kidnapping. Then when it's resolved, there is more wandering and nothing happening (to the point that the anime never adapted the last 3-4 volumes due to it being filler).

Oh shit, the Dai manga's actually out. I thought it was another month or two off.
How's the translation compared to the fan one that's been floating around for years?
Gavin Murphy
have the Lobdell/Nicieza run of X-men been collected in any meaningful way. You always see people talk about claremont or lee omnis and collections but a bulk of what I grew up reading was theirs.
Nathaniel Campbell
Not familiar with the fan translation, but the official one is good!
Lincoln Turner
The Twelve has/had an omni, Onslaught's well collected. X-Cutioner's, Phalanx, etc. have had collections. Think it's mostly the in between shit and Gen X that's not easily accessible.
Juan Fisher
i'd rather they do a WML omni instead.
this house of mystery stuff was firmly bronze age
Christopher Mitchell
Yes. Cronin contacted him after someone from Yea Forums asked about it last year. He did exist, but his actual job was in IT and he did writing on the side.
His Swampy became increasingly incomprehensible as it went on, but part of it is on the art. The end of Veitch would have to be collected with some of his stuff since Wheeler had to write the conclusion.
Lincoln Kelly
pretty sure Gen X is getting an omni fairly soon. Hell, Claremont X-Treme X-Men is getting an omni, Marvel is going wild on X-Men omni's lately.
Jose Moore
Yeah I think so too, there's very fewer and fewer people who keep up with the Conan omnis and a lot of new collectors can't jump in because the first few omnis are oop. So it should be pretty safe to wait for sales on the new volumes.
:Stonks:
Camden Thompson
Volume two of Books of Magic finishes the ongoing series, so what is collected in the volume three they announced? And is that material good?
Luis Foster
>Young Justice Book Six
I don't understand how this announcement hasn't created more hype. Finally DC finishes a Peter David run, even after more than a year since book five!
Luke Stewart
DC can announce whatever it wants, I'll be hyped once the book is actually available instead of another cancel.
Jeremiah Moore
> i'd rather they do a WML omni instead
Joseph Russell
They’re somewhat easy to get in the U.S. but not abroad.
I bought the second volume Brain Bats on sale from my lcs. Looks pretty neat.
I managed to get the Akira box for basically the cover price a year or two ago from alibris. You’d think they’d do a 40th anniversary edition soon.
Don’t the creators decide if they want to reprint? Image’s crew would just give them the past sales and sales predictions.
They also reprinted the Usagi Yojimbo Saga collections with new covers probably just to differentiate the print runs for some reason.
Sleeper omnibus finally getting reprinted. Hopefully it’s done as well as the first one since it’s the best DC omnibus binding and etc. wise.
I thought about getting the Kamandi omnibus but two tpbs would be better.

This is ridiculously, stupidly wrong. Don't spout bullshit when you don't know what you're talking about, it's embarrassing for everybody.
That being said you're totally right about the episodic nature of FotNS and how lame that makes most of it.

My landlord jumped my rent up 100 quid knowing fine well im fucked because its still cheaper than the market value. Im not mad at him he gave me 3 months notice.
That 100 quid was my 'entertainment' budget.
Pic is my shelf*
*my game boxes are behind the comics so cant double up as no place to put them (all my games are in paper cd cases in the bedside table drawers)
Ian Hall
That said j am sorry to hear about your situation and hope it comes to an end soon and i think the restrictions and conpanies pulling out is counter productive (and a western op to destabalise your country leaving it open to western colonisation, more so than already has happened, but ill leave that next to my tin foil hat).

Really enjoyed X-Men Grand Design in those large treasury soft covers. Kept meaning to read Fantastic Four Grand Design but heard it wasn't as good, anyone read it? Been watching Cartoonist Kayfabe a lot and Hulk Grand Design was very hyped but just read the first issue and it isn't as solid as X-Men Grand Design.

Bentley Cooper
>Kept meaning to read Fantastic Four Grand Design but heard it wasn't as good, anyone read it?
I've read it. It was pretty good but don't go in expecting exactly the same experience as X-Men GD. It's like a hypercompression that also tells a story with an ending and fits in a lot of the largest elements of the cosmic mythos, if only in a few panels at a time. Read it online first. I do enjoy it a lot
Isaiah Russell
sorry to hear that user i have senpai in russia myself but they are retards that believe in the putin meme. heres hoping things get back to normal also great collection cant imagine how much you had to spend to get them there.

Judge Dredd: The Mega Collection
its exclusive to UK user and way OOP there is a psychopath user on here that bought them as they were coming out but it eneded up costing him 2x what they were worth
Tyler Jackson
ah okay, thank you
Nathaniel Harris
Honestly, I think the first collection (warriors dawn) is my favourite. Although i know horned god is best for art. (Although i like mcmahon's chicken scratch)
Honeatly, ive spent too much on the 2000ad (and dredd considering most is reprinted in the case files) but i just want the set even though 1/4 is literal trash, 1/4 stuff i wanted in hc and the othwr half is stuff i thought was okay but id never have bought outside this collection.
Noah Howard
You're a very honest man.
Logan Peterson
The first shelf is Judge dredd mega collection. Its 90 books of dredd verse material. Each book was 10 quid a pop.
The second is the 2000ad ultimate collection, similar to above, its still running and has been extended to 140 books.
The judge dredd stuff is hard to get and the early 2000ad ultimate collection stuff is kinda hard to get. Especially the strontium dog, nemesis, nikolai dante ones. If youre in the uk ebay and guntree and facebook.
Guy in one of my facebook groups sold his lot for 30 quid. He just needed rid of them. Glad it was another 2000ad guy who got them.
Ayden Campbell
So why won't they make reprints?
Hudson Adams

Nope. It's the Spectacular Spider-Man series. Roger Stern's Omni had his Spectacular issues as well as the main series. There is still a gap of Amazing Spider-Man issues
Matthew Martin
>disposable income
>my oher hobbies are nature trails (and trails off the beaten tracks), hill/small mountain climbing and urban exploring. All of ehich are relatively cheap one you have the gear.
Carter Flores
Value is relative to the ammount of money you have. I'm by no means rich but I earn enough for the price of comics to not need any special justification. I want it so I buy it.
Jordan Foster
Yes and no. It's been collected, but the bulk of the material (in particular the pre-Age of Apocalypse stuff) is only available in a comprehensive format via omnibus and a lot of those are OOP.
Reading order is:
X-Men by Chris Claremont and Jim Lee (X-Men #1-11, Ghost Rider X-Over)
Bishop's Crossing (UXM #281-293, X-Men #12-13; note that the various softcovers omit X-Men #12-13 and the current Epic collection omits those two issues plus #289-293 though they restore the 1992 X-Men and UXM Annuals to their rightful reading order place)
Xctutioner's Song (UXM 294-297 and X-Men 14-16)
X-Men Shattershot (reprints the Shattershot 1992 X-Men Annual Xover out of sequence plus the OOP X-Men trade Skinner of Souls, which contains X-Men #17-24 and Annual #2)
Fatal Attraction (omnibus only version, UXM #298-305, 314 plus X-Men #25 and X-Men Unlimite #1-2 as the softcover omits stuff)
Wedding of Cyclops and Phoenix (expanded version of the WoC&P trade; Uncanny X-Men #307-311 and 1993 Annual, X-Men #26-35, X-Men Unlimited #3 and Annual #3 and Bloodlines X-Over)
Phalanx Covenant (Phalanx story in UXM #306, 311-313, 315-317, X-Men #36-37, plux PC crossover issues)
Legion Quest (UXM #318-321, X-Men #38-41, X-Men Unlimited #4-6
Luke Perez
Nope:
>Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man Omnibus
>Collects: Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man (1976) #1—42, Annual (1979) #1; Amazing Spider-Man Annual (1964) #13; Fantastic Four (1961) #218
Roger Stern's omni collects Spectacular Spider-Man (1976) #43—61 (as well as Amazing Spider-Man (1963) #203, 224—252, Annual (1964) #16—17; material from Amazing Spider-Man Annual #15, Spectacular Spider-Man Annual #3, Web of Spider-Man Annual #3 and What If? #34).
Amazing Spider-Man vol.5 ends at 180 and Stern's has #203, 224—252. Feasibly as this is 40+ issues I could see them splitting this into two omnis, but who knows.
Ian Turner
Based /out/
Joseph Turner
After AOA you will be able to find stuff in softcover with a few exceptions:
Road to Onslaught V1-3 collect UXM #322-333 and X-Men #42-54 and other tie-ins
Fabian's last X-Men story is X-Men #45 which is in the first Road to Onslaught.
Onslaught omnibus or individual trades (UXM #334-337 and X-Men #55-57)
X-Men Onslaught Aftermath (X-Men 58-64, UXM #338-340)
X-Men Trial of Gambit (UXM #340-350)
X-Men Operation Zero Tolerance (X-Men #65-70)
This takes you all the way to Lobdell's swan song on the franchise
Jack Powell
The first issue is a decent recap/retelling of the first 47 issues of the original Fantastic Four. the second issue however fucks up mightily and does a super blotched retelling of everything through the Trial of Reed Richards story with MAJOR omissions and fudging of details along the way and Scioli explicitly making it known that he hates Byrne and the fact that Byrne had Reed save Galactus's life given the fact that Galactus kept committing genocide after being saved since, in Scioli's version, Reed murders Galactus in cold blood and survives via a bullshit "I am Spartacus" moment when Eternity and the other cosmic beings come calling for vengeance.

Just picked up a set of Man of Steel hardcovers now that volume 4 has released and the collection is complete. What the fuck was DC thinking with this spine design? Why is only volume 1 a different colour? Either have them all different or all the same. I know it’s not really that big a deal but I just can’t imagine what made them okay this. Just seems like an objectively bad choice.
Jeremiah Allen
>400
Im okay, i can live with my scans
Landon Wood
I was hoping 4 would be blue and would at least make a good book end.
>exiles
Plan to pick up this omni next.
Elijah Price
It bugs me too. Having 1 and 4 be blue, or having 1 and 3 be blue would look fine imo, just 1 on its own doesn't make sense.
Hunter Adams
Well, it's a bigass boxset. Averages to about 50 bucks per book, and it's Fantagraphics, not Marvel or DC. If it's the same as the Eightball boxset, they'll be perfect facsimiles, with the original paper stock etc. Not that I'll be buying it, and yes it's expensive, but it's kinda justified
btw, why make perfect facsimiles then bind them all together in a hardcover book? Defeats the purpose of the whole thing. I hate that about the Eightball box
Charles Young
>DC
>thinking
It was originally going to be an omnibus until DC decided to jew people out with those hardcovers. And I bet you they will eventually do an omnibus anyway.

I know it is a boxset and will probably be great facsimiles, but 400?
Elijah Sanchez

Matthew Myers
>jew with the hc
Not the original poster but
I paid between 15-20 for each.
Thats at most 80 quid. Which is what a standard dc omni would set me back. And i prefer smaller page count hc so its win win.
Eli Wright
It's more similar to the Complete Zap collection. The Eightball Omnibus was still affordable, though I guess they'd be the same price per issue/page
Connor Young
>It's more similar to the Complete Zap collection
not really, that shit was super extra - big as fuck, came with extra art prints and stuff. This L&R book is the same as Eightball - just 50 issues instead of 18
Levi Reed
>And I bet you they will eventually do an omnibus anyway.
There's no omni because they don't have the budget to properly restore the issues. These HC's were made with old restoration jobs circa 2003.
Jose Diaz
>implying DC decisions make any sense
Jackson Hernandez
>I bet you they will eventually do an omnibus anyway
Same, not prepared to wait that long though, and there's always a chance they won't and the hardcovers will go out of print someday so FOMO kicks in.
Jayden Wright
stuff like this makes me think its done of purpose much like the monk box set. it would have been perfect if they had change the DC logo half way through
Jaxson Green
What's the best babby's first manga? I'd rather ask here because you guys are better than Yea Forums.

Akira like the other posted if you're looking into genre/action/adventure stuff. Junji Ito for short horror. For graphic novel like manga look into manga published by Drawn & Quarterly, NYRC, Fantagraphics and etc.

Is DC going to release the rest of the New Teen Titans?
I know they canceled a final omnibus (V6, which would have collected Teen Titans Spotlight and all of the major 80s guest appearances of the Titans plus Games). But will we ever get New Titans #50-130 and the rest of the Annuals collected?
Sebastian Rogers

New fishings for Epic Collections
Silver Surfer: Return of Thanos (Silver Surfer #25-38 and Silver Surfer The Enslavers Graphic Novel)
X-Men: Xcutioner's Song (Uncanny X-Men 289-296, X-Men 10-16, X-Factor 84-86, X-Force 16-18)
(Note: we are skipping the epilogue issue, Uncanny X-Men #297 and X-Force #19 and Stryfe's Strike Files which is kind of lame). Also cover is going to be the last Jim Lee cover from his run, X-Men #11)
Star Wars Legends Epic Collection: The New Republic Vol. 6
(Note: Crimson Empire trilogy, for those who don't have the original trades or the hardcover omnibus Dark Horse put out)
X-Force: Armageddon Now (X-Force 85-100, X-Force/Champions Annual 1998, X-Force Annual 1999)
(Note: 99% of the second half of the John Francis Moore run. Sadly they are skipping Moore's actual last issue (#101, which is also the last issue before the Counter X retool that will dominate the last batch of issues of the series before the Milligan/Allred revamp) and New Mutants Truth or Dare; the later of which sadly looks as though it's going to be exclusive to the Excalibur Epic line unfortunately)
Amazing Spider-Man: Invasion of the Spider-Slayers (Amazing Spider-Man 368-377 and Annual 27, Spider-Man/Dr. Strange: The Way to Dusty Death 1, Spider-Man Special Edition: The Trial of Venom)
(Note: A horrible bit of fuckery as no Spectacular Spider-Man #198-200, as at the very least, Harry's Death really needs to be included in the main series given how much shit happens down the line with his death)
Deadpool: Mission Improbable (Deadpool #1-9, -1, and the rest of the pre-ongoing series Deadpool appearances)
Ryan Gomez
Hulk: Fall of the Pantheon (Hulk #420-435)
Hulk: And Now... Wolverine (Hulk #179-203)
Defenders Day of the Defenders (Defenders #1-11, Avengers #115-118, and pre-series appearances by the Defenders)
Iron Man: Return of Tony Stark (Iron Man 290-297 plus Iron Man stories from the early 90s Marvel Super Heroes anthology).
Moon Knight: Butcher's Moon (content unknown but seems to include the 1985 mini at the least)
Thor: Blood and Thunder (Thor 468-475 plus Blood and Thunder tie-ins)
(Note: if you bought the Blood and Thunder trade, you are kind of fucked in that the Epic version has about 4 additional issues that are exclusive to the Epic; so you'll need to double dip)
Venom: Carnage Unleashed (content unknown)

Starting with volume 6 (In volume 5 auclair finishes the first arc i.e. the conflict between hunter and gathers and citywellers) the comic isn't written by auclair anymore and a new cycle about Celtic mysticism starts. The comic is pretty episodic afterwards and I would tell you to maybe just check out each volume and read the first pages to see if you like it (except for 8 and 9 since characters introduced in 8 are important for the story of 9).

Where's goodwill hentai user at nowadays, I hope he's doing well
Sebastian Long
Goodwill hentai? This sounds like a story.
Noah Reed
guy saw a bunch of hentai on sale in local goodwill and bought it and showed his /shelf/bros

I've just read Uzumaki and loved it, I'm thinking of getting Gyo and Tomie next, how do they compare?
Aaron Rivera

what are you going to get?

Caleb Bailey
How much /shelf/core do you have?
Nathan Bell
This much so far. I have to be honest I've never even heard of any of those Evan Dorkin and Chris Ware books, are they any good?
Jacob Sanders
I prefer Hellstar Remina. Gyo is difficult to take seriously because memes ruined it for me.
Connor Lopez
I'll get Bone next
Totally need more Miller too
Blake Morgan
Chris Ware is one of the more interesting creators in comics, I recommend him.
Luis Martin
First half of gyo is goos, then like typical junji ito it falls apart the second half. It goes from a solid 4 to a 2 in the space between part 1 and part 2.
Tomie is okay, but very repetitive if youre reading all the stories in one sitting.
Brayden Flores
Congrats user
Grayson Brown
I love the story and are in the Red Sonja.
Nathan Gonzalez
Welcome back user. Glad you made it home safe.
James Torres
Nice dubs and nice shelf.
Dylan Cruz
Thank you, user. I guess I will give number 6 a try.
Noah Sanchez
fuck yeah on those creepys bro
Carson Taylor
maybe it's best he moved to porn then, cause his porn is great!
Landon Green
plus is for having a fair amount of their other works, the box is having all that and A LOT of other Jodorworsky.
I plan on selling my Jimmy Corrigan whenever I get the energy to finish the second half.

same bro. its not a nice feel
Ryan Ramirez
If you've spent any time on Yea Forums you've probably seen Dorkin's work. He really goodbye and an underrated artist.
Ware is fantastic and probably one of the best comic creators alive today.
Jacob Kelly
What do I win
Leo White
Nah you are
Cooper Martin
Your virginity back
Oliver Clark
Not much from this chart, and I will likely not be grabbing any more aside from possibly some Cerebus and Kirby. Maybe Tintin and some Barks.
Lemire is not worth owning, IMO.
I may get rid of The Incal and Hellboy.
Jimmy Corrigan is great. The second half really sold me.
Jeremiah Nelson
Loved the OVA never read the book

This is a weak Kirby square and the lack of 2001 reprints makes the addition of that an odd choice

Gentlemen, I bring you Bingo 2.0.
Tried to maximize bingo potential by cutting single title authors, sorry Yojimbo. Also cut the coomer freebie so it works better as a recc image.
Any tweaks you'd like to see?
Evan Gray
somehow did worse
Asher Lopez
I'm absolutely seething over those Creepy books.
Elijah Richardson
tfw no bingo
James Sanchez
Okay, what's the censored stuff?
Did you forget that you had porn DVDs on your shelf or something?
Jose Wilson
For me, it's just slowly builds up.
I normally just get them as gifts and then jump at big sales.
Leo Morris
Kingdom Hearts.
Isaac Ortiz
Wow, you fucked me even harder.
Juan Diaz
it's flash season 1 and the bourne trilogy blu rays. it was a different time. i just couldn't be bothered doing a second pic but I'll do that next time.
Cameron Ramirez
last min package just showed up didnt even know ups delivered on Sunday.
Asher Diaz
What do I win this time
Logan Rogers
Is the material in that second volume any good?
Kevin Jones
yes and no the stories are just random weird tales ala golden age material. things like batman and superman being women, dif dimension vers attacking them, swamping bodies really campy stuff thats fun but no over arching story
Jackson Rogers
I haven't done very well but there's lots of good recommendations on here, thanks
Tyler Anderson
well well well i spoke to soon amazon coming in at 6pm with a qt delivery women to leave this just one more for the coomer section
Xavier Wilson
meh
Jaxson Reyes
>Also cut the coomer
you fucking heathen
Oliver Hill
I know I’m basically necrobumping, but any shelf recs for someone living in an apartment? To clarify, I mean literal shelves and not books. Also, what Flash run should I start with, Waid or Johns?
Charles Fisher
yes, I'm a cheeky fuck
Josiah Clark
Yeah. I'm half way through the book and it may be my favorite from Dorkin. I just have Bill and Ted as well as Beast of Burden before I know.
Cooper Wright
pro wrestling fan that reads cape books is a move of the ultimates.
Grayson Russell
Agree with Dorkin. Disagree with Ware but too each their own.
Samuel Myers
CAWDYS BACK BAYBIE
Isaac Thomas
I still have a long way to go.
Start with Waid since his run comes first.
Wyatt Sullivan
Start with the trade "Savage Velocity" that they put out a year ago. Baron's only on it for less than a year, but then William Messner Loebs wrote it for the next four years. If you want to legally stream it, all of it is on DCU.
Waid followed WML, then Morrison/Millar, then Waid, then Johns.
Nicholas Perez
Kalax are pretty good because they're evenly spaced and they're the perfect size for absolute/library editions. The downside is that it might leave gaps or split up matching spines.
Parker Green
Jaxson Fisher
Is Marvel losing the Conan license or something? They seem to be pumping those out pretty damn fast. I see 20 of them between released and scheduled. How many more can they make?
James Ramirez
It's just a super chill series, I've been reading it before bed and it's so comfy. A sequel series actually started not too long ago as well where they're married with a kid and it's just as nice
Jaxon Rogers
You are all beautiful people, thank you.
Dominic White
The owners of the IP did change a few months back. When their new comics were delayed and/or cancelled, people started panicking, but Savage Avengers has been relaunched.
Blake Brooks
no problem
Carter Flores
You're welcome friend
Jayden Clark
If you have an IKEA near you, then get a KALAX, FINNBY or BILLY. Everyone's obsessing over KALAX here but they are static, meaning you can't change the height of the shelf pieces so if you have any oversized books (above Absolute size), then they won't fit. Also spines that are supposed to form a big image (like that Judge Dredd collection that was posted somewhere further up) then those thick separation walls of a KALAX fuck with that hard.
FINNBY isn't very deep, but incredibly low-priced compared to both KALAX and BILLY.
A BILLY is basically the premium product out of the three, a bit more expensive but the shelves are very deep and they are high enough to place anything in it.
Connor Cooper
honestly i would say for him to get kalax and if he has bigger books than absolutes you can also get this in pic. idk the name of it but they are always next to the kalax and are cheap
Caleb Butler
I have never seen that one before, is that even an IKEA one?
Michael Edwards
Billy was the worst bookshelf I ever had. Kallax is the superior choice.
Adam Young
yeah its called a kalax aswell heres the link

Charles Wright
Been busy, just got back from a 4 month overseas business trip so flush with cash. It certainly helps with all these Omni releases being dumped on us.
Easton Garcia
oh dam user 4months where did you go i just came back my self from a one month african trip.
Angel Ortiz
South America rotation Mexico, Columbia, Nicaragua, Ecuador, Honduras, Peru and El Salvador.
Adrian Carter
dam boy you got around did you at least hit up some comic/book shops or whores
Jacob James
Comic stores yes, but I’m married with kids. My days of laying pipe are over.
Noah Sanchez
i hear ya i went with the gf to see her missionary brother so i couldnt destroy some poor girls life down there? up there? other side of the planet. sadly they didnt have book shops were i was and found the thought of me spending thousands of dollars in funny books wastefull and unthinkable.

here's a better pic of the top shelf I took a while ago. Not pictured:
Parasyte all volumes

All you need is kill manga
Tomie, Uzumaki, and Gyo viz hardcovers

did you clean it up because of my remark user kek but you should really frame that secret wars floopie user its cost a pretty penny
Nathaniel Jones
its an old pic I found. the shelf is still messy currently.

Really hoping Beta actually gets published in the US.
Robert Parker
I'm always close but no cigar
Joshua Powell
Figured this was the best place to ask since people around here actually read stuff. Read Under the Hood recently and was surprised by how homicidal Freeze was. It's kind of jarring since I was under the impression that after Heart of Ice he became more like that in the comics.
Did something happen in universe to make Freeze the type to just spontaneously kill somebody around him or is that just what his postBTAS comics characterization was actually like?
Jeremiah Gutierrez
It’s up to the writer he was more sane after btas aired but much like bane at first being Batman’s intellectual equal now he is just a dumb brute in modern stuff
Ian Torres
His characterization has been all over the place in recent years. How he is portrayed depends pretty heavily on who is writing him. The nu52 being a prime example of how fucked some writers make him.
Jordan Wilson
Ryan Morgan
Never ever because who would buy that? It doesn't have Batman in it

If I wanted to get into reading/buy The Phantom anyone got any advice on where to start? I've always liked the general myths of him but never sat down to read it properly. Any collections I can see are super expensive. Ironically, I'm in Australia where apparently we're one of the only places in the world to get new stuff in English regularly.
Brody Kelly
dragonball is the only thing on that shelf thats not total garbage
Hudson Hall

feels like there's missing a lot and a lot of stuff that's not /shelf/-core.

James Hill
When someone asks your number it means they want to date you, kyaa~
Kayden Lee
No. Have been using ebay since 2018 and nobody ever asked for a number. Would only give him your email.
Thomas Jones
It is weird cause they can easily message you through eBay. I'd probably give him my spam email and nothing else. I'm also paranoid

Jack Brooks
you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone with the Robert Crumb or Will Eisner essentials that are listed there. Pogo, Garfield, Boondocks. Where are they? Milk and Cheese, Dork!, Slaine, Requiem: Vampire Knight, Grimjack, Teknophage, the Kerascoet stuff and Bowie pretty rare as well. all of this suggests that it is in a lot of collections, but it really isn't.
Adrian Thomas
I’m more mad that they don’t have Yea Forumss fav web/comic strip artist Ronny from whoomp man himself would come into shelf threads from time to time
Dominic Collins
I've got Crumb! I'm special! Got one volume of Slaine, one of Requiem (it's a Panini 2-in-1 volume so technically 2) and pretty much all of Grimjack, old and new!
I'm special!
Bentley Harris
>1 guy has this so that means this is shelf core
got it
Hudson Morgan
I just wanted to gloat and bask in the limelight.
Sebastian Hughes
I always read the bingo card as shelf essential creators, and then listing their most popular or well known works. Not necessarily that those works in particular are /shelf/core.
Jace Lewis
Redpill me on Astro City, should I get the new collections they're putting out?
Robert Gomez
Kek
David Rodriguez
>Teknophage
I'm confused as to why that one is for Gaiman and not his more famous works like Graveyard book, or hell even his Dark Horse books like Harlequinn Romance or Snow, Glass, Apples.
Slaine and Kerascoet is pretty popular here though
Jayden Nelson
Yes Kurt busiek is top tier and Astro City is easily his best work
Ryan Howard
He didn't even write it if I recall correctly
Christopher Russell
He did, but I guess they were originally written as prose and then adapted by PCR, John Bolton and Colleen Doran respectively. Still are all fantastic comics.
Gabriel Lewis
Rick Veitch wrote Teknophage. Neil Gaiman's name on the title was just marketing.
Ryan Bennett
Yeah I think that's the way it's meant to be interpreted but it is a bit misleading because not everything is popular here.
Isaiah Flores
What collection is coming out?
Isaac Diaz
first 19 issues in softcover from image
Kayden Davis
The first one came out last week.
19 issues for 30 books. It's a great deal

There's a collection which collects 19 issues
