Really? Wow, so far my experience with Amazon has been good in regards to orders. But I'll keep that in mind especially if I get any hardcovers! Thank you


Edit: Appreciate the responses everyone. I think I'll get the first volumes of Deadly Class along with Low or Black Science since they're relatively cheap. I'm torn on Fear Agent because I see there's a hardcover edition and I'd rather wait to get that later vs a bunch of paperbacks. Besides I need to get Hellboy Library Edition first

Amazon makes me mad sometimes because I feel like 40-50% of the books I order come damaged. However, recently there have been a lot of titles with a larger discount than IST, it's faster, and even if it's in unsatisfactory condition when it arrives, I can send it back until I get something I can work with. Fortunately, the last few books I've received from them have been in really good condition; however, I realized kind of late that a book I ordered a few months ago was kind of damaged, but that's on me for not inspecting it better.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Surprising no one, Midnighter and Omega Men deliver yet again.

Officially a month behind on these books. Wow. My backlog has its own backlog.

Oh well, I'll gladly sacrifice timeliness for a Mignolaverse reread book every other book I read.

I love that you're doing that, it's so great.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

I love that you're doing that, it's so great.

It's the best decision I ever made. Just started on Plague of Frogs omni vol 2. The storylines are SO much higher stakes when it all runs together.

 

[Hagi]

Ugh plague of frogs volume 3 is out of print on Amazon UK. Might have to have a look at this Instocktrades site.

If you are looking for the hardcover, I'm afraid it's gone from everywhere.

 

[Hagi]

Nooooooooo

That was my plan for the weekend, sit down finish Hellboy volume 3 then read BRPD 2 and 3.

I found the first issues not to my interest :/

 

[Poodlestrike]

I found the first issues not to my interest :/

I'm tradewaiting Midnighter m'self, but Omega Men really picks up after that first issue, which is pretty weird and confusing.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

The good news, I can see F4 for free.

The bad news, I have to see F4.

 

[Poodlestrike]

The good news, I can see F4 for free.

The bad news, I have to see F4.

So,

I mean,

It's not really free.

You're just paying with time and dignity instead of money.

 

[LaunchpadMcQ]

So,

It's not really free.

You're just paying with time and dignity instead of money.

Yeah, free in this case would be that you somehow downloaded the experience of watching the movie directly to your brain without actually watching it.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

That's why I settled for paperback on that one :/

 

[tim1138]

Eh, not every book is for everyone. You gave em a shot and they didn't click, that's the way it goes.

I'm tradewaiting Midnighter m'self, but Omega Men really picks up after that first issue, which is pretty weird and confusing.

Huh, I'd probably recommend the opposite. Omega Men will probably read great in trade because it will be a bit easier to follow all the twists and turns, where as Midnighter reads very easily on a monthly basis.

 

[KoruptData]

Only read Omega Men so far but it was masterful. There is a fight in there that played like a movie in my head.

Honestly, it's more that Omega Men's got me really curious about where it's going, and Midnighter... doesn't, really. It's good, and I'm definitely gonna read it at some point, but I'm just not feeling the compulsion to stick with it month to month.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

I can hope that its so bad its good. The movie is only 90 minutes. That ain't so bad. It'll probably be like a bad dream.

Spoiler

It's Clobberin Time!

Edit: Dam. F4 is beating out Pixels at 14% on RT.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

I was thinking of seeing FF while my car's in for an MOT next week. Decided to get my eyes tested instead...

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Let's not forget about Dennis Hopeless and how he tried to pass off Avengers Undercover as a serious "PTSD book" with teens, while we're at it.

Teens don't suffer PTSD?

So only New Yorkers over a certain age suffered after being right downtown on 9/11? All those schoolkids down the block are a-ok rn?

Whether you like the book or not or whether or not it was successful or not, I don't see how you can slight a creator for trying to address a real world thing.

Avengers Undercover did just that, as a matter of fact, with a bunch of teens lashing out after being held captive and forced to murder each other months.

What was your assessment of the book?

 

[tim1138]

Yep that sequence was fantastic

Honestly, it's more that Omega Men's got me really curious about where it's going, and Midnighter... doesn't, really. It's good, and I'm definitely gonna read it at some point, but I'm just not feeling the compulsion to stick with it month to month.

Hah, I didn't mean you specifically, I figured you had your own reasons. I just meant generally if someone was curious as to which to buy monthly and which to trade wait.

 

[LaunchpadMcQ]

Does anyone know anything about this Godkiller series? I have no idea where to start.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

OMFG THE SHIELD #2

(You. You didn't read it.)

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Holy shit that Deadpool trailer is amazing.

I'll give Omega men 2 a read then and see if I like it =3

 

[Sou Da]

That Ms.Marvel feel.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Oh NICE

RIch Tommassi has an image book now. Sleep on him at your peril.

They actually acknowledged Stephanie Brown as Robin? That is surprising.

I'll play devil's advocate and say it's not worth committing to something as lengthy and costly as a weekly series when you don't know if the finished product will be worth it.

I know,, I'm really trying to talk myself in to trade waiting.

Buuutt, I really did enjoy Batman eternal weekly
Urgh lol

I'd agree with this.

But if Marvel ever did a Star Wars weekly...

Ohhhhhhh damn,, here just take it...

Dont give them ideas.

 

[fertygo]

Following Trade for Eternal weekly is might as well not buying at all because tbh this book is kind of shit.. but I deal with it, one less burger a week for batman brehs..

[Owzers]

Hearthstone still wearing me down, everyone has the same Dr. Boom legendary but me and apparently going from 20 to 19 in ranked means all my casual matches are now too good? I dunno, but it's lame and not fun.

I might read comics instead.

Am I a bad person for wanting Cassandra (Steph would work too) to take over as Batgirl and Babs to go back to being Oracle?

No.

Otherwise I would be a bad person, too I assume? :/

We can be bad people together, if we must!

 

[LaunchpadMcQ]

Maaaaaaaan, Bloodshot Reborn #5 was god-tier. The art, the dark humor, the Unity-squirts. Lemire and Allen absolutely killed it.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

This can't be Doom, can it?

All I can do is just keep shaking my head.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

PTSD makes you a supervillain?

They weren't supervillains. But PTSD can have a negative behavioral impact to compensate.

Did you get the impression from reading the comic that they were instantly supervillains? They were planning on getting revenge on Arcade, their abuser basically.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Batman Eternal was brilliant and the only comic worked on by Ian Bertram, David LaFuente, and RM Guera all in a single run.

So what you're telling me is that you want somebody to cripple Barbara again.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Sounds like a bad person to me.

I say, whatever works. Cass or Steph, I'll take either.

 

[Simply Sarah]

So what you're telling me is that you want somebody to cripple Barbara again.

Not what I said and you know it.

While it wouldn't be the same as it once was, a Babs retired from the front lines because she determined she could do more as Oracle would be OK to me. Ideally the being healed would have never happened, but that's water under the bridge.
