I wasn't even waiting for the trade.
If Zero gets cancelled I'm holding you personally responsible.
I might as well just be torrenting the comic. Right after I go into Ales Kot's house and take the food out of his pantry.
I'm the reason why artists starve.
Peter David's open letter recently really hit me hard. I was like wow. I truly am the problem. Me being a tradewaiter is literally worse for artists than me not buying comics at all.
I think I read recently that every trade paperback is sold at a net loss which the creators are forced to pay.
As you should.
I heard Ales sheds a single tear for every TPB volume that gets sold.
I can't imagine what his response will be for the sale of an OHC.

This is a spoiler!
Ian will return in Sam's Captain America arc
At least I'm pretty sure of that. I wouldn't know for sure for a little while because I too, am a dirty trade waiter.
I've enjoyed the rest of Remender's run, but for most of the big payoff I would recommend also reading Winter Soldier: The Bitter March.

Anyone here own the paperback version of the Complete Calvin & Hobbes? How is the paper quality/binding?
Oh! Speaking of this single issues/collected editions thing, I'm reading the extra stuff in the back of the first Criminal OHC right now, and there's a section that has some of the essays about noir movies and whatnot written by him and sometimes by his friends that were in the back of the single issues, and in the foreword for that, Brubaker had this to say:
He goes on to say that he's just included a few of the ones he had written.
Even though I'm the tradewaiter who's missing out here, I really respected that.
On the one hand, I think that should be a more common practice. Include more bonus stuff in the single issues, since people are essentially paying a premium for single issues as opposed to waiting for trades. I'm all for rewarding them for that.
On the other hand though, there is something nice, even for the people who have already bought the single issues, about having everything from a series and all the extras as well collected in a high quality hardcover.
But yeah, I thought that was interesting and pretty relevant to the current conversation (I do know that we're all being highly sarcastic and just having a laugh, but it's still relevant).

Hey guys what's going on in here oh trade-waiter jabs I'll just check another thread.

This is my favorite weekend post.
So: Zenith Phase One isn't a great comic, but that's about what I expected. Going into it though, I wasn't sure how it was going to merge Miracleman and Paradax! (two brilliant and whole takes on the Silver Age superhero but otherwise almost the complete opposite) and I was sorta surprised that it almost makes it work. Zenith is a serious take (very serious at times) with a protagonist who kinda is Paradax-lite.

My cover's blown. Oh well. It was good while it lasted.
No! Don't go!
None of us here actually care about tradewaiters (or if anyone does, they keep it to themselves). I'm one of the biggest tradewaiters here.
We were just having a laugh, mostly because of Peter David's recent silly rant about how tradewaiters are the scum of the earth.
Sorry about that. We're pretty good at going hard on sarcasm. Definitely didn't mean to scare you off like that.

I picked the word "jabs" to indicate that I understood that you guys weren't
entirely
Hmm. So would you recommend skipping it? I could use an excuse to spend less money on comics this month. Haha
Since you said it's basically just a lesser version of Paradax, should I use this as an excuse to pick up this collection instead? I've been meaning to pick that up for a while now.
Hey, no worries. I apologize that we came off as unwelcoming like that.
But yeah, we were entirely not serious about the tradewaiting thing. Tradewaiting isn't frowned upon one bit around here. You should always feel welcome to discuss your trades. I mean, trades are the only thing I talk about. Haha
I'm definitely going to continue picking these up but considering you haven't even read New X-Men yet, I'm gonna say to skip this particular volume and come back around when more of it's out.
Also: yes, pick up that collection.

I feel its gets better as it goes along, especially Phase IV which is basically Miracleman Book 3, with the same narrator, and some more overtly Morrison narrative structure devices and weirdness takes over. Also, the color looks great.
You are worser than Christopher Nolan.

Yeah, that's what I've always heard too, that Yeowell and Morrison reach some real highs by Phase III

Kipp has taken away our confusion and given us obedience. He has taken away our fear of ourselves and given us fear of Kipp. He has liberated us from the chaos of indecision. He has given us one straight path! One clear purpose!
One goal: To die for Kipp

Come to think of it, the first trade of Claremont's current run on Nightcrawler comes out next month. How's the run, for those who've read it?

Omg. Brian Level finished my wife's Catwoman commission. My wife's stipulations were that she wanted a bunch of cats in it and not overly sexual if at all. We love it.

Kind of Paul Pope-y! Looks dope.
When Kipp tradewaits it is with three billion wallets! Nothing like Kipp has ever come among us: nothing will again. He will take us to a hell without exit or end. And there he will murder our books! They will die, die, die for Kipp!

All is one in the Omnibus. The mighty book is his church. When he stares into your eyes, and shatters your dreams. And breaks your heart. It is with six billion hardcovers!
Jealous!!! Absolutely love it <3
Looks great!
Cool. Sounds like a plan. Thanks for the advice.
Hahahaha. You guys are too much.
We turned our back and he wrecked our world. He robbed our hobby of its floppies, its trade paperbacks, its future, itself. What will we do when our writers, our artists, our editor, are all Kipp? When there is one book. One mind. One will. One life that is Kipp.

Will we be the enemy of the comic industry then? What irony that would be, comic book buyer.
of course WE won't, since we've embraced the future that is digital
The sun has set forever. There is a black hole where the comics industry should be.
We've seen the light and gone beyond the Source Wall to discover digital and it truly is the future
