I've pretty much always gotten peanuts. In my experience, if you buy any oversized hardcovers (or maybe it's if you buy any Library Edition/Absolute-sized hardcovers), that automatically puts you into packing peanuts territory. I think they only do the fancy foam for all TPB orders.
I know I've never gotten foam when I've gotten a Library Edition/Absolute-sized hardcover in my order.

 

[Messi]

Yay

quite a few comics to get tomorrow

Can't wait to see this page with his new art. Might be my favorite Sunstone page

Bedhogger

It is so perfect

 

[LaunchpadMcQ]

Everybody quick to brag about their Hellboy LEs. smh.

You didn't buy them? We all have them.

I don't. I want them but it's too late

You'll never have to worry about that with me.

 

[Zombine]

I've never bragged about mine. I did buy them in an order that contained:

Hellboy Library Edition vol 1-6
Fear Agent Library Edition vol 1-2
And the two Blacksad books that were available at the time.

tho.

We're back to BallerGAF?

I made $7.50 in tips today ON TOP OF MY HOURLY RATE.
What now bitchesssssssssss

Spoiler

But my investments in index funds dropped like $2-3k today because of stupid China... So I guess it kinda evens out.

 

[evilpigking]

Maybe that was it. I thought I'd ordered some large books from them before. omnis always came in the foam packs. This order had Y absolute vol 1 though so maybe that was why,

Ah yes, I remember you're the dude that had picked up some Black Mask comicsbooksund out they sell pdfs/cbrs on their site, so I'm getting into them more. I think you'll enjoy this one a lot.

Definitely not. It's for the Ennis Boys lot.

Finally got around to reading Young Terrorists; Damn, That was pretty action packed and setup a lot of things for a first issue, although, I guess that's a given since it was 80 pages. Really enjoyed the art, I can't wait to see where this goes either.

I'm digging the characters they've introduced so far and hopefully any new ones will be just as good.

I need to read it again.

Yeah, it got a hell of a lot done and it got it done well. That cold open was so damn good.

Peanuts seem to be for any absolute/library editions or any orders over a certain size in my experience. Wish they didn't use them at all since they're a pain to get rid of, but it's what they use so *shrug*

I can't find anything about the size of the Crimson HC, is it oversized or standard?

;_;

Spoiler

I'll probably buy it regardless

I'm not even finished with the first ish of We Can Never Go Home and already I'm like "damn this is gonna be one of those books :c"

Is Batman Knightfall good

Is Batman Knightfall good

I enjoyed it. In some ways it's very much a product of its time, in others it's surprisingly clever.

 

[BKatastrophe]

there's literally two and a half posts of buildup to all the seething contempt I have for Rich goddamn Johnston

No, you don't get it because you're not bat shit insane.

Oh okay so he really is just a weird asshole? Because that's what I got out of that post.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Um holy shit. I'm reading Hickman's FF run and are

Spoiler

future Franklin and Val

really

Spoiler

describing the events of Secret Wars

in Fantastic Four #582, a comic that was published literally five years ago today?? I realize Hickman is famous for playing the long game, but that's insane. I mean half the editors weren't even the same then. Did he just stick to his vision and hope for the best?

 

[LaunchpadMcQ]

You wanna spoiler tag bro?

 

[Poodlestrike]

You wanna spoiler tag bro?

Spoilers for a 5 year old comic?

Fuuuuuuuck that.

 

[PsychBat!]

You wanna spoiler tag bro?

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Well, to be fair, I've read zero Secret Wars yet because thanks to MU I live six months in the past, in the days of yore when Spider Verse was just coming to an end and IN TWO MONTHS TIME RUNS OUT. I just found out who the Ebony Kings are.

But I know the basic premise, and maybe the specifics wound up different but it sure feels like Hickman is calling his shot here half a decade out.

 

[keiichi]

I'm not even finished with the first ish of We Can Never Go Home and already I'm like "damn this is gonna be one of those books :c"

Like, "good" one of those books? Issue 4 comes out tomorrow, so stoked.

 

[LaunchpadMcQ]

Fuuuuuuuck that.

Oh, come on, it's a spoiler. If I weren't halfway through it, I'd be pretty pissed right now.

Like, "good" one of those books? Issue 4 comes out tomorrow, so stoked.

Fuck, just downed the 3 issues. This shit is incredible!!!

I love how all these Black Mask titles try to do some weird stuff with the colors, though this one definitely has that 80s feel.

Also, just, wow. The story, characters, and dialogue are just perfect. I wouldn't change a single thing about this comic.

Specifically, the thing I was talking about was

Spoiler

how Duncan says he can kill people with his mind. I think the story behind that is that he wished his mom dead and she happened to die; in any case, it's going to be tragic as fuck. Or shit, who knows, he may be telling the truth

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

Is Batman Knightfall good

It's really good and holds up well. It's got that 90s vibe but damn is it entertaining as hell. Plus this was the event going on when I started buying comics so it's got an extra special place for me in that regard.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

Forgot Lieber and Spencer were doing an Image comic. I'm really excited for that whenever it does come out.

edit: Just asked him when it drops and he said Image doesn't have a date yet

I was talking about the F4/FF stuff. Some people here (myself) were still working on that series or haven't read it yet.

 

[Coriolanus]

Somehow only ran into Xkcd's "Time" today.

It's quite something.

Certainly justifies its wikipedia entry.

Five year old comics aren't covered by spoiler protections, mate. Your heart might be in the right place, but discussion would be too cumbersome if we bothered with that kinda thing.

 

[Neoxon]

Rumor has it that Extraordinary X-Men had a different premise in its early planning phase. Keep in mind, this is Bleeding Cool we're talking about, so take it with a grain of salt.

This is based on old information. From when Mike Marts was to be editor and Rick Remender was to have written it.

Extraordinary X-Men is one of the All-New All-Different X-Men relaunches, by Jeff Lemire and Humberto Ramos.

Originally it was intended to be the X-Men book still set on Earth. After the mutants had left Earth for Europa, as a result of the newly released Terrigen Mists forming new Inhumans and killing mutants, these would have been the ones who could, for whatever reason, survive the mist.

Whether the team would be the same whether the justification is the same, whether the plot is the same I do not know. But the cover does show a bunch of folk who could, potentially, protect themselves from such mists in one way or another…

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Well, since I'm one of them, I guess that's a fair point. How are those spoiler tags I just added then, does that properly convey there's some foreshadowing without ruining the specific surprise?

 

[Squire]

Rumor has it that Extraordinary X-Men had a different premise in its early planning phase. Keep in mind, this is Bleeding Cool we're talking about, so take it with a grain of salt.

Remender said in an interview today (well, published today) he had cool ideas lined up when he bailed.

I maintain this planet stuff is bullshit though. Sounds way too close to Avenge The Earth, which Remender wrote and practically yesterday at that.

 

[MuddyDonut]

I'm going to work on FF soon, dun curr about spoileys tbh. It's about the journey brehs. But if you spoil MGS for me I will murder you. Also that spoiler made me want to read FF sooner.

 

[Owzers]

Forget about Hickman's run and go watch the Fantastic Four movie instead. My approach to Jem works for everything. All those pesky Daredevil runs to read? Nah, rent that movie. Elektra Assassin omniwhatever? Jennifer Garner has you covered.

I just opted into my company's optional deferred comp plan and I didn't bother reading the funds I invested in. Guess I should really read into it.

Finished Wytches vol. 1. The first three issues was a bore fest. It wasn't a total loss since the last three picked up the pace and was entertaining.

 

[Secret Fawful]

Whoa. How am I just hearing about this. You'd think no one would notice the comic changing, and it would be a dud, but it won a Hugo Award. And the science behind the comic, too. Insane. It's stuff like this that gives me confidence in big concepts that I would normally expect people to ignore.

Yeah they did that with Harley and Power Girl last week. Charged me at like midnight and then it wasn't available until like 9 in the morning.

And the worst part is they don't even tell you what book they've charged you for.

Exactly! I have no idea what these books even are lol

Edit: Well shit, the comic gods were listening. Just got another notification saying the books are ready for download!

Btw, I have a free digital copy of Avengers Time Runs Out volume 3 (collecting Avengers 40-42 and New Avengers 29-30) to give away.

Remender's Uncanny X-Force is one of my favorite comic stories. Ever.

 

[Yousefb]

Remender's Uncanny X-Force is one of my favorite comic stories. Ever.

Easily top 3 Marvel books/series for me. Sogood.

 

[Squire]

Remender's Uncanny X-Force is one of my favorite comic stories. Ever.

Absolutely agreed.

In the first part of his CBR interview for Tokyo Ghost today he mentioned his wife had "gone back to England."

I'm assuming she's actually British? That would explain him writing the best Psylocke.

 

[Yousefb]

Old Man Logan #4

Overall I enjoyed this. Yeah on one hand it's kind of a letdown that the book became just a Wolverine in an another realm of the month sort of thing; but with that said it's still a ton fun. The art is awesome as always.

Loved

Spoiler

She-Hulk throwing him over the wall. Which was followed by her being taken (eaten?) by that demon pterodactyl thing. Really cool sequence.
