Finally got my Fear Agent volume 1 today. Comparison pictures time (because that's apparently what you do)!
It's taller than other hardcovers I have but looks to be about as thick as the Animal Man omnibus and a little thicker than the Green Lantern omnibus.
It has double the paper thickness also, it's only 500 pages.
The paper looked good, I haven't had time to really look through it yet though. The Animal Man omni has pretty great paper quality as well, it's a well put together book.
I liked it when they were alternating writers every few issues before he got main control of the book. I'd sell my soul to get Waid in the driving seat.

Picked up some random shiiet from my LCS.
I got "Must Read Valiant Greatest Hits". $6 for 5 issues.
-X-O Manowar #5
-Quantum & Woody #1
-Harbinger #1
-Harbinger Wars #2
-Shadow Man #1
I've read the first three issues so far. I really like Quantum & Woody. Decent story and art, i'll definitely check out the TPB. Its was pretty funny at times too.
Harbinger was pretty cool too.. I like the concept of it, a good #1 issue.
This was a good buy for $6.
And I picked up Caliban #1,, a Sci-Fi/Space/Horror type story. I am curious for issue #2 to see where they go with the story.

how was his run?
Man, when I was waiting for Captain America to start up in theaters the other day I super depressed myself. Some trailer for some Michael Bay zombie thing or whatever came on and it was saying something about a virus and showed what seemed to be a woman politician or whatever, and I had a thought: Imagine if somebody was making a Y: The Last Man TV series! It just makes so much sense to me, but it will never, ever happen. 
Also, I finished picking up the last of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Ultimate Collection books recently. I actually still need to read a lot of what I own (I've only read the first two), but I really enjoyed what I've read. Any other TMNT collections/comics/runs that are worthwhile?

Think I'm gonna get the Ultimate Spiderman Omnibus. Feel like seeing the world when Parker was in it.
Those and the Kirby Fourth World ones are the only omnibi I own. Although I am getting the giant JSA ones this year, and I'll eventually get the Planetary one as well.
I've fallen down the original comic art hole and I can't get out. I'm considering ridiculous amounts of money for page's. Help
What are you looking at?
Cookes Catwoman from the Bru run some Amanda Conner stuff, Chew, Y the last man and Rat Queens.
I'll probably end up with Rat Queens to start with. Picked out a nice page I like. Oh and can anyone guess what the first page of Rat Queens that sold was?
It was Betty kissing her ex
For me, one of my favorite comic moments were in Kingdom Come. Near the end of the story, when Superman, thinking all the other heroes were dead, almost killed the entire New United Nations, blaming himself for what happened. What followed was one one of the most memorable pages in any comic I read.
Though really, it was overall a great story. Can someone remind me of what happened that made Mark Waid swear off ever writing for DC again? His stories were some of my favorite.
Have no idea but I've heard some good things about though. Bout to read it now.

Falling-out with the editorial/management staff, I believe. If the right people were fired and replaced he might consider working on some books again.

Alot of Kingdom Come is memorable. Old Man Clark watching the Flight of the Legion is one of my favorites from it.

In regular continuity, no reason. He's a mutant to his race though and looks different than the rest because of it. In the Earth X universe however, his mother is secretly a Skrull.
I had to back away from Cookes Catwoman for the moment.
The price for his stuff is insane!
Btw y'all look at this pretty avatar courtesy of my fellow siren.
Look Cheska....do I need to bring up the post where you bought that Catwoman statue?
But yes if you want something nice it is pricey.OMG I just found the place that sells Rafael Albuquerque's Amercian Vampire stuff. I might just have to buy one of those Pearl pages.
I need to find a way to convince Chad Hardin to sell me a page from Harley Quinn #2. Though I am fairly certain it takes years for current DC/Marvel stuff to show up. The ease at which ive found stuff from Image is awesome.

Comic Art Fans has a ton of art on there, including some of the more recent issues even for DC.
Lots of Cliff Chiang Wonder Woman on there.... hmmm
This was on Chad Hardin's twitter. Fuck...his harley is just awesome. I love the faces.
Just got picked up to be a tv series no?

The only Powers volume I have is "Who Killed Retro Girl." I haven't read it in a long time, but I remember enjoying it. I cant speak to the rest.

The only that dictates how long it takes pages to go on sale is how quickly the artist decides to sell them. For example I know Chris Burnham had all of his Batman Inc stuff available and Jeff Lemire already sold the cover for the final issue of Animal Man. Who they work for had no impact on quick the turnaround is from published issue to original art for sale.

Looooooove Powers. I own all of the hardcover editions so far. The only problem I have with the series is the inconsistent release schedule.
The Definitive Editions? Is the binding on the first one that bad? Those are the ones I was considering getting but according to Amazon reviews, the binding is so bad that many of the panels are cut off

I didn't have any issues with them. But I'd be happy to check them and let you know when I get home later.

Powers is great. Because it's independent work Bendis gets to cut loose in a way he can't on books like Avengers, which was very hit and miss for me. Jumping in late mitigates the frustration with the erratic release schedule as there's a ton of great material to plow through.

And Oeming's art suits the series perfectly. It might not be as elaborate as a lot of artists out there, but it's got its own charm.
Messi, I've got the original art itch too, but our tastes are mighty different. I just bought a page from Ben Stenbeck's BPRD one-shot "The Ectoplasmic Man" and one of Simon Roy's pages from Prophet. They were both about $200 shipped (each). I'd love to own something of Mike Mignola's, but I don't have a spare two grand laying around, so I'll likely settle with something from Duncan Fegredo... who's done an amazing job on Hellboy thus far.

Yeah. It's weird. Oeming did one issue of Avengers and I thought it looked awful because I was used to how the characters are normally portrayed. In Powers it works, and especially the coloring is great at evoking the right type of moods.
Awesome stuff. But yes it seems our tastes are quite different. Most people here would tell you I mainly read female superhero books and generally seek those out. I'm very forgiving on quality at times if I'm attached to a character.
I read the first hellboy trade years ago and remember enjoying it but never continued. Loved both movies. I need to get back on that.
This was sufficiently creepy. Avatar doing their type of vulgar horror to the sci-fi genre. This has potential.

I hope Caliban gets better characterization. I also hate the coloring on the art. Interesting ideas so far.
