Not having a comic con (that is actually worth it) in a reasonable driving distance is really killing me. There is a Buffalo Comic Con but it's shit; locally run by a comic book store and the guest list is about ten names long and I've heard of none of them. And only one day. Then there's Niagara Falls Comic Con, but that's already passed. A few more names, one I think I've heard of, but nothing spectacular. Then a bunch of random guest actors like Uncle Pauly from Rocky. SUCKS.
Cinci Comic Con looks pretty fucking awesome.

How is IDW's reprinted version of The Maxx? I remember watching and enjoying the first half of the MTV series a few years ago.

Where do people in the UK buy their comics from? I'm looking to get Death of the Wolverine.

Depends where you are in the UK. I used to get mine from Forbidden Planet and Orbital Comics in London, and also occasionally bought an issue or collection from Marvel Digital Comics.

Scotland. I don't think there is a store near me so would need to buy online if that's possible.
Anyone else enjoy when you finish a book, and then have to decide what to read next? I only read my comics during my lunch break at work, and I finished the Xmen Ages of Apocalypse TPBs today. Good story overall, nothing great.
But tonight.....tonight I get to practice my favorite ritual of deciding what to read next. My backlog is kinda huge. I think I have about 10 omnibi to still read. Usually I alternate between Marvel and DC, but I think I may go with Marvel again. The Avengers / Invaders crossover is kinda tempting....
One of the many reasons I love Orlando. There's MegaCon in March, and it's fucking great. Huge crowd. Lots of guests. And the vendors there will make some deals with you if you're willing to spend.
And then there are smaller cons all throughout the year, where I go to land great deals on hardcovers/TPBs. Probably about 4 smaller cons every year.

I believe Forbidden Planet does comic delivery if you like having physical issues, but it can be a little pricey due to the delivery charges. If you don't mind digital, I'd say your best bet is Marvel Digital Comics or Comixology (which covers a lot of publishers and can link with your Marvel account).

Okay GAF here is my haul from the library today:
Fell, Vol. 1
The Demon
The Bunker, Vol. 1 (surprised to see this there, as it's newer)
Top 10, Vol 2.
Sandman, Vol. 1
The Dormant Beast (Fucking Enki Bilal)
Creepy, Vol. 1
Nightmare Factory, Based on Stories by Thomas Ligotti (Graphic Novel)
Wormwood Vol 1
I went fucking buck-wild. Also suggested another purchase; Metal Gear Solid Deluxe Edition. Got the approval email right quick, only a few hours after my submission. They should just hire me to implement a new graphic novel/comics expanded collection initiative.

Chronicles of Wormwood.
Pretty sure it's Ennis's best comedic work. Thought it was gonna be a Preacher rehash, especially when they introduced the australian pope, but nope.
Still got silly sex jokes everywhere, obviously. Nowhere near as bad as The Boys was in that regard, though. So far.

Aaand i just hit the Miracleman reference. Respect.
Dunno, they're pushing "the illuminati are fuckwits" quite hard. Think they'll settle for STEVE WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG.

Barnes and Noble had a poster set up over some turtles books
It was Kevin Eastman "artwork created exclusively for Barnes and Noble".
Anyway, my brother took a picture of it and fixed it up so i could make a desktop out of it.
So here it is. Maybe others can enjoy:

economic-comics.co.uk might be what you're looking for. You can setup a pull list with them and they'll invoice you as often as you want (monthly, fortnightly or weekly). I've been using them for a while and the prices average out to about £3 per issue including delivery. Delivery has usually been quick for me too. Normally get them by the Thursday or Friday, depending on how quickly I pay.
there's also disposableheroes.co.uk, prices are cheaper but delivery can take longer. I normally use these guys for single issues I want to try out randomly.
You could always check ebay or the amazon marketplace as well.
That pretty much covers my needs.

I feel like every time I read this thread I leave wanting to buy either the Doom Patrol omni or the X-Statix omni. Neither of which I have the money for right now. But I also feel like I'm gonna break and buy one or the other soon enough.
In order to push me over the edge, tell me, do I need to know anything going into them? I know practically nothing of DC, and while I know more about Marvel, I don't think I'm all too familiar with Marvel from that time period. Will I be confused or do they stand on their own?

You can jump into Doom Patrol just fine with the omnibus.
It's an amazing run from start to finish. Parts of it can seem a little confusing and overwhelming at first but by the end you'll understand everything. It's one of the best comics I've ever read. I have a pretty decent backlog of comics and I sat down and read through about 400 pages in one sitting today. It's that good.

Comixology Greg Rucka sale! Stumptown and Queen & Country on sale. Both are must buys.

Queen & Country is an amazing and very grounded Spy/Espionage book. It follows British secret agencies on various missions
stumptown is about a female Pi on more lower level mystery cases.

Avenging Spider-Man is also on sale. There's some fun stuff in there, like #5 - a team-up with Captain America where they have heart-2-heart talks and it's drawn by Leinil Yu, and #7, the She-Hulk team-up issue that's done by the Immonens

I keep forgetting that I have the first volume of Queen and Country, I really need to read it sometime.

I keep hearing about IST. I've been meaning to make an order, but I'm worried as cheap as their trades are, the shipping costs to Australia will trump the savings.

That's a possibility. It's mainly beneficial for US customers, as the shipping fee within the US is a flat-rate of $4, unless you spend over $50, in which case standard shipping is free. Though the way they pack books is simply amazing, and must be beheld by everyone at least once.
I implore anyone who is even remotely interested in Stumptown to try it. I know I talked about it a few pages back, but it was fantastic and incredibly easy to pick up and read.
Queen and Country is great stuff.

Just finished Volume 3 of Waid's Daredevil before the relaunch.
SAN FRANCISCO, HERE I COME, WHEN THE NEXT HARDCOVER IS RELEASED!
What a great series. Loved that ending. I hope nothing awful happens to Kirsten in SF considering Daredevil's luck with women.

I have seen the first 2 Alien movies, only earlier this year, but I seen them. Ripley is super hot.
Yeah, I own all of Olivia Wildes movies so sue me.
She auditioned for the role of Vesper in Casino Royale but didn't get it. Which she said crushed her.

Get reading those Rucka books. He's one of my all time favorite writers. In fact I can't recall a bad output from him. Buy it, read it, love it

Y'all were not messing around with the Southern Bastards # 4 praise.
I legitimately choked up at the conclusion to that fight. Also, I like the twist Aaron put on the Scalped situation, with a kid coming in to avenge thier parent's death. Powerful series so far.
I plan on going to Big Wow Comic Fest next year.
Missed it this year and has been on my radar ever since.So I had a minor accident where I sliced the part of my palm that meets the base of my thumb. To keep myself from reopening the wound, I couldn't bend it much and wasn't able to take pics of what I've been reading. Now that I'm 98% healed, I'm gonna try and catch up.

Rocket Raccoon #2
This was my book of the month for August. Skottie Young continues to tell an entertaining story coupled with his fantastic art. Here we have Rocket falsely accused of murder and is now imprisoned. With a little help from his old pal from Planet X, Rocket devises a plan to escape the prison. The humor's on point and I get excited as I thumb from page to page (so much eye candy!). One of the things I like about Skottie's action sequences is his use of sound effects (and literal spelling of the sound effect). When Groot sprouts up from the ground, we see the word "RUMBLE" emblazoned on that entire panel, giving you a good sense of what's happening as well as spelling it out quite obviously.

Marvel has been blurring the face of the person on the cover of #7. So I figured I would do the same to avoid any potential spoilers. So, uh, all the good guys are in space fighting

Marvel has been blurring the face of the person on the cover of #7. So I figured I would do the same to avoid any potential spoilers. So, uh, all the good guys are in space fighting. We also learn more of the encounter between Uatu and The Orb. There wasn't much of a plot progression (in the grand scheme of things) as this issue focused more on action. I do find it strange that some of the powerhouses in Original Sin are being manhandled like they don't mean shit. LikeNick Furytaking down Iron Man AND Thor!? C'mon son. Though I will admit it is kind of fun to watch.Nick Fury

I use a local comic book store in Bath, England.
Prices are quite high compared to online stores, but thats the price you pay for keeping these places open.
