GODDAMN! GKetter, can we room swap for a few weeks? That is GLORIOUS!

Thanks. I actually do loan out my stuff from time to time. But most people I know in person aren't big comic book fans. I had one friend but he's across the state now. *shrugs* oh well

Then there's my CMX library..which has gotten out of hand. Even when i own the trades I'm compelled to buy on CMX sales. I'm an addict there

Edit: And this is why i went to digital. It was getting out of hand. And half of those boxes still needed to be bagged, boarded, organized and sorted! So if i wanted to find a run or arc...good luck

That looks like the peta videos where chickens are caged improperly. Those poor comics, i wish they could find a humane way to get rid of them.

 

[LaunchpadMcQ]

Shelf porn? Mine is a little more reserved but there's so much I want to eventually own I'm sure my meager collection will balloon up like my mangoes.



GKetter your room is awesome but all I keep seeing is a shelf full of Darth Vader heads..

mangoes?

oh nevermind, sounded like something else and a little lewd for a second there

All these posts about shelving made me motivated to reshare mine with updated pics.

My setup is i have two bookshelves in the bedroom but then I ran out of room and it spilled into my "Library" which is my room in the house dedicated to my videogames, DVDs, comics, books, etc. The Library still needs to be organized

you have like 10k digital comics too right?

Those were like the first trades i ever bought and I haven't read them since, which might be for the best.

I had mangoes on the mind when typing that I'd take a picture of my bookcase but I have manga sitting all over the place so it's a bit of a mess. Your picture reminds me that i left off D.Gray-Man at volume 8.

From what I remember the early stuff is good but at a certain point the baby mutant gets thrown out of the window and it gets real bad real fast, kinda like the Ultimate Universe as a whole. Least with Ultimate Spidey they had the decency to bring in a new character before tanking the book.

For the best, yes.

Yeah, D.Gray-man is my favorite manga. It really has only gotten better over time. Worth checking out if you have the time/interest.

Honestly, I don't know what I was thinking.

It really drops off after Millar's arc

Spoiler

though some would say it even that wasn't good lol

But if you're enjoying it, more power to you.

Though, to be far, X-Men hasn't had a great run since Whedon in any universe. Harbinger is a better X-Men than X-Men has been.

He's Cass' boss, and I think that's the mystery behind this whole arc, right? He may very well be Cornelius, since everybody has an analogue in this universe.

What's a Jem?

 

[SpiderJerusalem]

Peter David Xfactor, Mike Carey Xmen Legacy and Remender Xforce Have been good since Whedon. Main book was pretty blah though.

I want to read the Marjorie Liu Astonishing though.

Yeah I enjoyed what I read, I was following the scans for a time but can't really remember where I left off. Think it was after the batshit fight between Allen and Tyki Mikk. I liked the anime for what it was.

Though, to be far, X-Men hasn't had a great run since Whedon in any universe. Harbinger is a better X-Men than X-Men has been.

I really like Bendis's run on Uncanny, probably more than Astonishing actually.

Ah, damn. I'm almost done with Millar's arc too. Hopefully the drop isn't too severe.

 

[Boogiepop]

My collection looks roughly similar to last time I posted it. Some stuff shuffled, a little cleaner with a good bit put in storage, and, unfortunately, I've ended up several floor piles again. It's really about time for another significant shift of stuff to storage so I can put this stuff up properly.

I really, really just need to get to a point where I can just dedicate a room to my books and have everything nicely displayed...

Only one of the best books on the stands. Hijinks gaf approved.

I want to catch up on that too. I havent read any of it since trial of jean grey

Scratch that, the baby throwing out the window stuff happens in Ultimate Comics: Avengers. Fucking Millar man.

I thought the anime could have been a lot better - there were some really fudged parts of it and it felt low-budget. Do you mean the part where

Spoiler

Tyki destroys Allen's arm?

That's around volume 8. Or something that came after?

Uncanny is pretty good, but I don't think it has any lasting appeal, at least not for me. I also thought All-New was pretty good at the start, but that turned bleh around Battle of the Atom.

Haha, yikes.



Ah, damn. I'm almost done with Millar's arc too. Hopefully the drop isn't too severe.

Millar gonna Millar. Or Wood gonna Wood? Seriously, they both would throw a baby out of a window.

EDIT: Got my answer.

Yeah, good luck.

It's very VERY good. The Iceman story she does towards the end is one of the best arcs I've read so far. She would've been a great choice for the main book as well. She does the melodrama at the core of X-Men really well, but she's not as bleak and occasionally brutal like Remender is. Yeah, I love that run. Slowly reading her X-23 run, too.

All I remember is Tykii getting a really cool tranformation and yeah I think Allen loses his arm. The anime was on the unlucky side of long running adaptations when it comes to budget.

I could see how someone might feel that way. As for All New I lost interest around Battle of the Atom as well and every time I try and get back into it the way he writes the cast just irks me, especially Jean and Kitty. Black Vortex was straight up garbage.

yeah, turns out I'm right, same general facial hair, plus there aren't that many giant men who chain-smoke cigars in that series. Issue #2 has some hints on the A.C.A.D.E.M.Y. backstory.

okay in fact the whole sequence with the photo of Boutique is in that issue

Hmm I think you're mixing up two really spaced apart events in the series. Did they make it to Japan where you were at or were they still working on it? I really hope, now that the manga started up again, they get a few chapters out and start a reboot anime. It really deserves better.

Yeah, no, I'll be perfectly fine if I never read Bendis on X-Men again. I can't readily say right now whether I'd ever pick Uncanny back up again, but right now I'm definitely not up for it.
