Thanks! Looking on the other numbers it looks like Sam has had a rough 2016 with the book hovering around 15-18K some months. Here's hoping Nova 2017 will at least stabilize around 25-28K.

They go for so much because they're unique. The appeal is that they're original and not mass-produced copies.
Only one exists and you own it

Picked up everything I was missing to complete my runs on Saga, East of West, Low, Tokyo Ghost, Black Science, and Velvet. Also picked up everything Nightwing and Grayson.
$77. Mistakes were made. Spent another $42 yesterday for the rest of Invincible, Paper Girls, and Deadly Class. Time to take a page out of the Trump playback and file for bankruptcy.

Trying to capitalize on those people going to midnight launches for Civil War #3. Clever.

If I had a way to send a question to Alonso for the next time he's on CBR it would be "Will you be ignoring the critically panned Original Sin tie-in from Bendis which was the last time Richard Rider was seen in a comic? You have an out since Bendis never got his name right so you could say it wasn't the true Richard."
yea I love it. even comes with a sewn in bookmark.
I am going to
yea the deadly class book has 6-7 more issues more than Saga. I am glad to know the quality turned out great
It would be pretty hard to ignore that event considering what happened as a result of it lol.
that looks awesome. I might have to get that since Preacher is my favorite comic ever. Price?

Not really. So much that happened in those issues were OOC for everything from characters to how the Cancerverse worked. Could just say Thanos managed to open a way home somehow only for Nova to be knocked out when he tried to stop him from leaving and Quill just grabbed Drax and left with his heart full of guilt before the gateway closed.
I mean they have Trans, y the last man, and preacher all getting 3 books. Then Batman year one. We just had court of owls.
Swamp thing by alan moore is only a matter of time.
Then they can just reprint some of their deluxe books into absolutes too like 100 bullets,
No it doesn't Saga has one more issue. Saga is the first 18 issues, Deadly Class is the first 17. Deadly Class must be loaded with bonus stuff.
82 bucks. Aka expensive as fuck. I am not sure what I was thinking when I first ordered it.

Okay, wait until the novelty wears off before you start mainlining Absolutes. They're nice books, no question. But how many of those series do you really need to own in that format? Comparatively few. Alan Moore's Top 10 is worth grabbing though, if it's still around.
Ohhh I think I got it confused with East by west! my bad
I believe you. not every book needs an absolute or even an omnibus.
You should. Would be something you wouldn't have to buy very often and it's pretty much the nicest format there is.
Dude that's not true at all. There's plenty of stuff that's great and with amazing art that I would love to see in Absolute form.
Man, now I want a Gotham Academy absolute. That art in that size...oh my goodness.

Man, poor Kabuki couldn't even get the 50% on IST for Library Edition 3. But yeah, with that release, my swearing off of ordering physical comics has come to close, since I was waiting on that one! Obviously grabbing that, and then there are a few more things that have built up in the meantime...
BTW, read They're Not Like Us volume 1 and I really enjoyed it. I was a bit disappointed at first that it also inherited X-men's quirk of being waaaaay too telepath focused, but it works well here at least because of the type of story. (Seriously though, waaaaaaaay too many telepathic mutants, and it's just such an eh power. I mean, sure you can do telepathic mindscape battles or whatever to force in some crazy visuals, but at least when they're not fighting other telepaths it's either an instant win or "oh, they have telepathic blockers".)
Edit: Sandman Mystery Theater should be great, right? That's sitting on my wishlist of stuff I'm considering ordering right now...

East of West is even less m8. Lots of pages in those issues though. 1-15.
I don't think image does hardcovers with 25 issues very often.Damn my numbers are al off these books my bad. I don't know what book I was looking at that had 1-11 issue. Oh well.East of West is even less m8. Lots of pages in those issues though. 1-15.
Can you believe we won't get saga deluxe 2 till next year!
I made an IST order:
Harley Quinns Greatest Hits TP
Monstress Vol 1
Descender Vol 1
Descender Vol 2
Wonder Woman by Rucka Vol 1 (I have never read this and hope I enjoy it as I love Rucka :/)
Sheriff of Babylon Vol 1
Bombshells Vol 2 (Super excited for this as I haven't read it)
--
Saga OHC not coming out till next year makes sense I suppose. The TPs are a sales juggernaut and I doubt they wanna fuck with that.

Ah, right, in addition to this question...
Of the DC stuff on Comixology sale right now... Grayson was supposed to be awesome, but that doesn't extend back to the Nightwing series, right? And is Sinestro any good?
East of West is even less m8. Lots of pages in those issues though. 1-15.
East of West is the best Image OHC, IMO. So beautiful, in construction, build materials, and art.

This special in the Hip Hop Family Tree box set is amazing.
How many of your favourite artists have their own jeans commercial?

Really enjoying this interview too - Stan Lee is a pretty good interviewer.

There's still a lot of old stuff to put into Absolutes. I would definitely double dip for Doom Patrol.
Yes! It is amazing! Zombine started it for the first time recently too and will vouch for it also.

Deadly Class also ticks all of these boxes. I believe from a quick look at it that the same kind of binding and build quality as East of West has been used.
Yup. East of West was perfect.
That's awesome. I think Deadly class also has a bigger trim size (closer to Absolute edition), but I could be wrong on that. Haven't seen it in person.
I'd believe that. It's huge.
Well damn. That is awesome
