That's why you order while you still have books to read!
Of course, this leads to a backlog problem... But still

I feel you. I love owning shit as well, and filling my bookshelf with giant ornate omnibi.
On of these days I'll check IST and those last two Hellboy Library Editions will be in and ready to ship to me. One day...
Also, wish that coupon from that paypal thing that popped up a few pages back would come in so I could go ahead and use it on an order to get me all the Transformers stuff I'm missing. Just to confirm, does the current continuity start with Last Stand of the Wreckers? I have that and the first volume of More than Meets the Eye (plus volume 4 of Robots in Disguise and Dark Prelude, but I'm pretty sure I need to catch up before reading those), so maybe I should check those out to get a feel for the series before going all in. Would that be a good idea to get a taste?

Please tell me afterwards what you think about A Superman for all seasons
Just finished reading it. I thought it was a solid comic overall. Nothing totally mindblowing or revolutionary, but a well done Superman comic. Tim Sale's art was excellent. It was tastefully written, but nothing that will really amaze you. The story was of a more heartwarming and inspiring tone rather than intense and suspenseful, a little bit in the same vein as All-Star Superman (though definitely not as good).

A couple of my IST orders have arrived in the last couple days

Goddam. A book like this needs to be successful. I will forever hate the comic industry if it is not. This could be the start of a new franchise.
Oh yeah! Almost forgot about that free money! Maybe I'll also use that as an excuse to place an IST order.
Oh man. That giant stack of Hellboy makes me jealous.
Ahaha, I have those!!
And real talk, I have at least 50 pop culture related t-shirts. Teefury/Ript Apparel has been the end of me.A little unrelated, but since I trust the opinions of those in this thread I figured I would ask: Does anyone own a Samsung Galaxy? We were originally going to upgrade to the iPhone 6, but Sprint is offering a plan where they will buy you out of your current contract if you sign up with them. However, iPhone 6 is ineligible. So we were leaning towards the Galaxy or the Note, but both have very little experience with Android phones. I had an EVO when those first came out, but have been Apple only for quite a while now.

Sorry brah, Paypal changed their terms of service, so you had to receive an email about the coupon to get it... -_-

Aw man, that's lame. Guess no coupon for me then. That was going to be my excuse to go ahead and order those Transformers trades too, when realistically I should probably hold off for a bit. So I guess I'll just be responsible instead now and not blow an extra $100 or so on comics I don't need right at the moment...

There actually is a Legion cartoon. I just don't think they've released the second season on DVD so you'd have to use less than legal means to procure it.

Those Hellboy collections are so awesome, maybe the next time IST has a Dark Horse sale I'll jump on them.
Also, the thread could use some more shelf porn ;p
Ah ha delsin beanie
Fuck it. Here's me yesterday. That other picture is years old
Let's keep shattering those preconceived notions
Very much a shattering of preconceived notions. You look like an outdoors-man version of Aaron Rodgers.
See, now I've got to get all grump at you because I'm still waiting on IST to get the 1st and 4th Library Editions in for my order.
Seriously though, nice haul!
I can see it.

Yea. I gave my normal trades to my brother as a gift. These Dark horse library editions are awesome. I'm also excited to read more niche series I heard good things about back in the day but hadn't gotten to read like Aztek and Kazar
YouTube tusk trailer, I assure you that you aren't ready for what you will see.
What book is this from? I want more of it

I believe That's from Snyders detective comic run with dick Grayson as batman. I forget the arc but I don't think it's traded up
Damn, I hope it's on Comixology.
Pretty sure that's Black Mirror.
TheDarkKnight774

I might be wrong. It might be part of the black mirror trade. Let me look
Edit: I confirmed its in the black mirror trade. Also on comixology too.
Detective comics #881 it seems. Is that in black mirror?
Heh. I already own that trade. I thought Jock did the art.
Is Francavilla doing Sabrina?
TheDarkKnight774

Yea it is. I have it too and double checked. I remembered that more as just the Snyder/jock stuff. Glad they got it all in there.

Sweet, I'll start reading that this week then. Thanks for checking.
I fear Kipp might be curled up in a ball after researching Tusk a bit.

Definitely from Black Mirror, and despite what my dude Frye says, I think it's Snyder's most cohesive Bats story so far.

Yeah man breaking my heart.
I actually just checked the release date today.
12/31/14 is what I saw :/

So Annihilator #1 was really good. My cup o' tea. Thanks for the recommendation Korupt
When I was at my LCS Wednesday a long time customer there recommended Copperhead #1. Man That was a really good 1st issue. I will be picking up #2. All I can say is Space Western.
Tusk is a movie Kevin Smith made. Maybe comic book guys involved i don't remember.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
It's so stupid. You can try out for the SEALS in your 30s, let alone stay with them, FFS. The last head of SOCOM used to go on missions until he was in his mid-50s, even though he was a multi-starred admiral.
I see Snyder was saying on twitter that all the Endgame covers that are out there are not the real covers and they will be revealed as the issues come out. That's pretty cool. Keeps people guessing.
I do remember thinking the Endgame solicit covers were kinda underwhelming. So this is good news.

So I'm 41yrs LTTP on reading the Gwen Stacy death with my Spiderman chronological read, but damn, that neck snap and him not knowing was cold. Then Norman getting his shit kicked in and impaled by his own glider. Things went nuts in just a handful of panels!
Also, just a few issues later, Luke Cage comes in with a Batman/Bruce Wayne reference?
There was an issue of The Avengers where the villain was defeated by David Letterman.

Lol. Nah, I was busy with my new nightly routine of watching political debates from the 2014 campaigns while drinking a beer. It's a good routine.
That was pretty intense though. And the first minute of the trailer made it seem like it was going to be such a charming comedy...
I'll try to watch that sometime. Seems like it could be good.

I think I must have asked this before but,
Has anyone ordered from IST internationally (I live in Chile)? Opinions about it?
I usually order from Amazon.

Annihilator is great, yo. Another fiction vs. reality story, but crossing into interesting territory immediately.
And Frazer Irving's art is fucking absurd.

I think conventional Android nerd wisdom is that HTC, LG, Motorola, and Sony all offer more compelling options than the Galaxy S5 right now but if you want a phablet then the Note is the way to go?
It's the best Snyder Batman story (having not read Zero Year), but the ending is a really terrible betrayal of the rest of the comic imo

Is there some type of omnibus collecting all of Johns' Green Lantern run?
I remembered I had Secret Origin today and read through it. It's so darn good.
Is the only way to get the full run to get the TPBs/HCs individually?
EDIT: As I post it I find it. Awwwwwww snap. Does this collect 1/2 of the run? Or how many of these omnibus releases are there supposed to be?

I think there might be three. They weren't all announced yet but the second volume should collect up to Blackest Night. I think a third one should collect the War of the Lights and New 52 run

Aw man Journey into Mystery's just hit me in the feels, fucking Kid Loki man, I miss him already.
And something I wanna clear up on Freyja, so Baldur and Tyr aren't her real sons? She's been holding out on Odin this entire time and just now finally had a child with him?

I read omnibus editions the way they are supposed to be read: laying on a flat surface!
That's a nice collection you have.

They'll probably do a new design for the reboot.
