Daredevil and elektra onibus came in...they are gorgeous


the elektra art is amazing. did the same who worked on this work on the Alias; jessica jones?

Gaydos did the interiors for Alias. It's nothing really special and he ended up reusing a lot of panels which was really disappointing.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Bill did the Cover of Alias

Covers were better than interiors. Ha. As is the case with any book Frison does covers for. Tee-hee.

Gaydos did the interiors for Alias. It's nothing really special and he ended up reusing a lot of panels which was really disappointing.

I'm not going to say Gaydos is a bad artist, but he's definitely trying for the same grunge look that Maleev is so fantastic with.

what a time to be alive

the lines are going for Kirby

but they end up at Lee

this is an overdesigned mess

Maybe a little bit, but they definitely needed something more than a generic bodysuit with cat ears.

 

[Poodlestrike]

I'm sorry but that cover will never not be funny.

 

[TheFlow]

thanks for answering my questions guys

and lol this elektra book is not worth 50 bucks, more like 35. so slim

 

[JTripper]

Uncanny X-Men Omnibus Vol 3 or Roger Stern Spider-Man Omnibus?

Dat new Marvel TV tie-in pricing.

Uncanny X-Men Omnibus Vol 3 or Roger Stern Spider-Man Omnibus?

Do you have the two previous Uncanny omnibus volumes? If so, I would grab #3. If not, I would probably still grab Uncanny #3.

Yep. I'd probably buy it otherwise. Looks like a great book.

 

[BKatastrophe]

no, Land needed a month off to google some more pictures to trace over, he'll be back on issue #7

well fuck

 

[Freezasaurus]

Yep. I'd probably buy it otherwise. Looks like a great book.

The value is in the content, not the page-count, bros. There are 1000-page monsters that are absolute trash.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Land should do a contest where he asks Marvel fans to send in photos of themselves to be used as random civilians. That way Land can at least gain a positive following.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Of course. But I still think it's overpriced. The Hawkeye omnibus is the same price here and it's almost two hundred pages more. The Superior Foes omnibus is about the same page count too, yet half the price.

 

[PsychBat!]

The Mighty Thor #4


There it

Spoiler

and he

is

 

[Freezasaurus]

oh, it's absolutely had it's price jacked up, which has been happening to a lot of reprints, including the Alias omnibus. Marvel is counting on the popularity of recent TV series and films to justify kicking the price up a little.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Is there a name for that? Those lines Kirby would draw to represent a sort of sheen?

I know about Kirby dots but what about kirby squiggles?

I do have the previous 2 so I guess I should get vol 3 before it potentially goes out of print.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Black Widow #1 was great. Definitely reminded me of the first Daredevil issue after Matt moved to San Francisco.

Yeah, I impulse-bought it today with my regular books. Also took a chance on Guardians. Kittylord is adorable.

Also, why the shit was Dr. Strange $4.99?

 

[TheFlow]

elektra price isn't so bad compared to the Hawkeye price. Now that is a fucking rip off if you buy from anywhere outside of instock trades.


also instock trade has better packaging than amazon. Like they go out of their way to make sure the book isn't damaged.

Ah, I look forward to reading it.

Remember that "BILL COSBY INNOCENT !!!!" tweet from Kanye West

what if that was a comic book

It's 30 pages instead of 23!

THAT VALUE!

Also Bachalo gotta eat.

Awesome. I won't buy them because I feel they are too overpriced, but they look great.

Man I love that costume.

Well...I mean, Hawkeye Omnibus is 552 pages for $100 cover (which is still crazy overpriced), and Elektra Omnibus is 400 pages for $100 cover. It might be the most overpriced omnibus that's ever been released.

But that doesn't mean it's not worth it to the people that want it and don't mind paying the premium.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

I didn't even know it was out this week until you posted this. Didn't even see it on the Comixology home page, unless I'm completely missing it.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Soon, your resolve will crumble to dust and you'll buy everything. Like Messi.

 

[Freezasaurus]

The cover is subtle and the title is barely visible. I missed it on my first pass through the new releases.

So, those of you who buy your comics in single issues. Are you happy Batman (and/or a few other DC books) are going to $2.99 an issue or annoyed that they are going to $5.98 a month.

Depends on pagecount.

For the monthlies, it's an automatic upgrade. For the biweeklies, so long as I get a similarly priced number (and quality) of pages, I'm happy.

Damn that is pricey indeed. I feel bad for those people buying the Electra omnibus on Amazon. It is 100 dollars

I don't think the change involves any of the titles I read, but I'll probably check out some things when Rebirth begins. I haven't read Harley Quinn in a while and a Jim Lee Suicide Squad book has my attention.

Those first two pages tho omg.

That's what I thought, but I was like lol that's from 2009.

I think I started to read it but never finished it.

 

[Owzers]

The books i wouldn't mind reading twice a month aren't the ones being released twice a month, and if they did quality would probably suffer. Art rotations, pushing out average stories faster than usual so it feels like more is happening.

 

[MartyStu]

Aaron is still killing it on Thor.

 

[whatsinaname]

I mean, most non-Messi comic fans must be working with a fixed comics budget. If Batman and Superman take a larger chunk of that, it might just be that little bit more difficult for the Omega Mens and Prezs to get a fair run.

 

[Messi]

lol.

They really should've renumbered after the crime boss arc wrapped.

Should have cancelled it mid winnick run. I'll sacrifice valentine's run for that.

I don't really limit myself to how much I spend weekly. I tend to try to keep it under $30, but if there's a lot of stuff I need that week, then that's the way it has to be.

Pretty much this. Under 30 is the goal. Worked out the post-Rebirth list to 96 dollars a month, so I'm pretty comfortably under that. And while there'll probably be a few books that I pick up that don't interest me right this moment, in all likelihood I'll drop more than I gain.

I'm pretty sure each book is supposed to be 20 pages.

 

[pseudocaesar]

Any recommendations as far as modern X-Men stories go? I read some articles and Whedon's Astonishing X-Men popped up a couple of times. Are these two all I need for that?

http://www.instocktrades.com/TP/Marvel/ASTONISHING-X-MEN-WHEDON-CASSADAY-ULT-COLL-TP-BOOK-2/JAN120719

Anything else I can look for? Ideally would like something relatively self contained that isnt 5+ TP's long.

Only source for that I'm seeing is Bleeding Cool.

Messi said the same thing about Jim Lee doing a Suicide Squad book, and it turned out TO BE TRUE!!!! IT'S ALL TRUE!!!!!
