When did we get a new giant man

Ant-Man Annual #1

 

[Lashley]

Ah, been that long since I read it

 

[bishoptl]

Jibberish

I lurk for moments like this

 

[Busaiku]

It says when Giant Man was introduced at the end of the issue.

 

[Messi]

Everybody on best behavior . pls.

 

[Zombine]

You're talking about Saga right?

Edit:

🌝

 

[Freezasaurus]

Invincible Iron-Man was really good again. Awesome callback toward the end of the issue. I find myself really looking forward to some of these Marvel books, and I haven't really felt that way about the big two for a while.

Everybody on best behavior . pls.

How dare you. HOW FUCKING DARE YOU.

HAHA! Burn!

Anyone else read Spider-Man/Deadpool today? Joe is back!

I bought too many books as it is. I thought this was supposed to be a cheap week. :'(

Also, I don't see Giant Days being discussed. I thought we all agreed that book is good comics.

[Zombine]

Oh, was that the one where people were kidnapped by natives or something?

 

[PsychBat!]

OH Yeah! Now I remember! Hahahahahahaha I forgot about that movie.

 

[shingi70]

It's basically modern day cannibal holocaust no?

I don't know what that is

 

[shingi70]

It's real good comics.

So doctor strange had some pretty interesting revelations for magic going forward. I never looked at Magic as being a multiversal thing.

Yo Messi is Harleys black book any good?

I rally liked it. But I really like the goofy relationship Jimmy and Amanda have given Harley and Wonder Woman. Well...the very onsided relationship. Lovely art. Amanda Conner and John Timms did the lions share of the art. If you like the current Harley book it continues in that same vein and world.

The Complete Calvin and Hobbes $60 (orig $100) https://www.amazon.com/dp/1449433251/?tag=neogaf0e-20

The reviews for The Far Side looks great and safe to buy, however the ones written for Calvin and Hobbes are great but with flaws. The binder and pages falling out seems to be common issue and for me, as ill be a first time reader, I don't want to be too gentle nor do i want missing pages.

Does anyone know if this minor issue has been fixed recently? The publication date says 2013, but the comments go back as far as 2005. I dont know if they addressed the issue or not. How can I find out?

To be clear, I'm not a comic collector nor a huge fan, I just want to experience the comic in its entirety without the bindings falling apart on me.

I'm a huge fan of C&H. Even before I was a "comic" reader, I loved C&H and had several trade paperback collections. I still need the complete collection and hope to get it someday.

Anyway, the negative reviews about the complete collection are, a) a TINY percentage of the overall reviews, and b) regarding the hardcover version. You've linked to the paperback, which, as far as I can tell, doesn't have the issue. I mean, really the hardcover doesn't have an issue either really when you consider that the complaints about it are only 1-2% of the reviews.

So ready to dive back into Hawkeye again. Just need to have my Omnibus delivered to me before I set up the thread. I genuinely hope it catches on, because man what a treat that book was.

Hawkeye, Superior Foes of Spider-Man, and Waid's Daredevil are perfect in my eyes.

I thought the kate only issues were average and the Omnibus is definitely overpriced but I liked the run.

What thread are you talking about?

edit: I believe the Green Arrow HC by Jeff has 200 more pages for 1/3 the price so I will definitely pick that baby up this month. I wanna see who had the better archer run

Our 3rd Annual Comic Reading Party. We voted on Hawkeye.

I'll probably join in. I love Hawkguy.

Is that Superior Foes omni still coming? I have yet to read the series but really want to.

I have the first OHC, but not the second. I don't know when I'll get that one, so I may participate in the thread for the first half.

I am getting the Green Arrow Lemire deluxe tomorrow. Can't wait. I haven't read Hawkeye by Fraction (besides the first issue) or GA by Lemire. Some great stuff to look forward to.

Also, the Hawkeye omnibus is $100 cover ($55 on instocktrades.com) and the Green Arrow deluxe is $50 cover ($27.50 on instocktrades.com). So it's half the price rather than 1/3rd, and the Hawkeye omnibus has 88 more pages than GA deluxe.

Hawkeye omnibus is UNDOUBTEDLY overpriced, considering you can get the two OHC with the exact same content for a good deal less than the omnibus, but it's not quite as crazy as you thought, haha.

February. Reading Superior Foes and then following it up with Ant-Man is

 

[Duress]

Anyone know what I should pick up read Jack Kirby's 4th World? Seems everything is out of print

I was going by Amazon prices

Hawkeye is 87 bucks for 552 pages

Green Arrow is 33 bucks for 464 pages

I was just rounding but damn I thought Green arrow had more pages. I don't know why marvel is charging so much for this ombnibus though, probably the only book I felt I didn't get my moneys worth from

Edit: is this reading party the same as the other thread where you guys read stray bullets?

 

[Owzers]

2 Spider-Man/Deadpool codes.

redeemed the second one, which is the best one, thanks!

Well, regardless, GA deluxe is a good deal, and Hawkeye Omnibus is a bad deal. That's why I'm buying the two oversized-hardcovers. They're the same page size, and the two together are a little under $40 (again, on IST, who is usually far cheaper than Amazon), which is quite a bit more manageable than $55.

yeah I wish I waited and just bought the two HC and saved myself 30 bucks.

I like DC's price range for deluxe hc books.

I took the first. Thank you Busaiku.

Rhaknar, Uncanny X-Men spoiler for your question from earlier.

Spoiler

Mystique is the teaser image for #2
. The don't miss what happens in #2 page

Book was eh, lands art is eh. A better artist might be able to make it work. But his faces are so pornoey.

I loved Katie Kates issues of Hawkeye the most.

Gove Katie Kate her own ongoing pls.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Good lord. Bitch Planet is getting too heavy these days.

 

[Rhaknar]

I want a Kate / Deadpool mini, they were great in the Deadpool / Hawkeye series

 

[hipsterpants]

War of Kings is making me really not like the Inhumans.

Crystal is ok tho

 

[Busaiku]

Forgot to pick up Dr. Strange this week, and my store decided not to put out Spider-Gwen and The Amazing Spider-Man out early like they did last week.

So now I have 18 books next week...
Gaaah.

 

[Messi]

Freeza! Did you read G Willows letter at the end of AForce? Kelly Thompson is the co-writer starting with #2! Yay so good.

 

[Shaanyboi]

For future reference, "Pakistanian" is neither a language, nor a word.

Come on, DC. It's like a two second google search...

 

[Brian Fellows]

Gove Katie Kate her own ongoing pls.

I'd read that as long as it had a different art style than the Hawkeye books.

Not an Annie Wu fan? I thought it fit perfectly.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Which one was she again? Jem and one of those Carol books?

Oh man, that's just embarrassing.

Jem and Co writer on Carol Corps. Also the amazing Heart in a box GN. All books with great heart and she is perfect for A Force.

 

[PsychBat!]

War of Kings is making me really not like the Inhumans.

Crystal is ok tho

It shows their true colors, they don't listen to anyone but themselves. I love Phyla's gloating to Medusa's face.
but for real, War of Kings is like the weakest cosmic event in the whole Cosmic Event line up.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Not an Annie Wu fan? I thought it fit perfectly.

Googling her work she has some good stuff out there but no I don't like what she was doing on Hawkeye at all.

 

[Messi]

Totally Awesome Hulk #2 still awesome. Chos art is lovely.

Btw, my Batwoman bombshell statue went from picked to out of stock again today on dcbs. It's ok I didn't want the statue or need the money. It's only been 2-3 months.

I really like this Lady Hellbender character. She looks a bit familiar though, I just can't place her.

I'm starting to think that everytime they receive a new statue for you, they take it out to the parking lot and make sure it "arrives damaged" like the rest of them.

The newer comments might be for the paperback collection. The HC collection came out in 2005. I own the HC (I was actually reading it again during the holidays) and I didn't see any of the binding issues some of the reviews have mentioned.

Oh man, you're in for a treat. Calvin and Hobbes aged so well, I think it's even better to read as an adult. Makes me feel nostalgia and wonder when I read it now, even though I missed most of it growing up.

I have the complete C&H and haven't had any problems. I think the packaging is great!

To clarify, I have the paperback editions.

I have the paperback Calvin & Hobbes collection and I haven't experienced any issues with the binding.

I'm a huge fan of C&H. Even before I was a "comic" reader, I loved C&H and had several trade paperback collections. I still need the complete collection and hope to get it someday.

Woo. thanks guys. Definitely going to put in my orders now.

I forgot to clarify I was talking of the HC editions but, as I just realize, paperback seems to be the better choice regardless.
