Not to speak ill of the announcement (we are comics gaf, so yay comics), but looking into Coates makes me way more interested in his nonfiction books.

Never heard of him but now that I'm thinking about it I think Robert Rodriguez would be a decent choice. I can see him doing it.

They teased... something for Vampironica

[Tyrant Rave]

How did i miss this? I don't think i'm about this life. Yeah, #1 was solicited at $3.99 and now it's $4.99 along with #2. Forget comics i'm reading Valiants. Those are similar to comics.

If Howard goes to $5 then I'm dropping it

Black Panther news is cool btw

i might have to go back to it with Howard being $4.99. I'm starting to like too many avatars....this one and olivia were both great.

I keep expecting that hat to fall off. It looks precariously balanced.

Just photoshop Olivia onto one of the heads.

How long must I wait? This was solicited for two weeks ago. Look at it, it's awesomeness is taunting me.

Avengers Age of Ultron blu ray steelbook is back to $19.99 at best buy.....blind buy time, no way it disappoints.

You know what? Go for it.

I will enjoy reading what happens next.

Finished DC Comics Zero Year. I had a lot of fun with it. It wasn't amazing, but I enjoyed it thoroughly.

Onto...probably The Valiant volume one.

I hope you enjoy it.

it's 12 cents extra per comic for bags/boards, more if you want special bags.

 

[Messi]

Special bags?

 

[Owzers]

Special bags?

$0.12 per bag and board (Regular Bags and Boards)
$0.30 per bag and board (Mylites and 24 mil Half Backs)
$0.50 per bag and board (Mylites2 and 48 mil Full Backs)

i don't know what this stuff is, but more mil can't be bad.


I might rent Age of Ultron from redbox since it doesn't appear to be a month delay and because i think the steelbook case is that cheap crap i got with Witcher 3 that was dented and thin and irksome.

I just found out about DCBS. What are the positives of that over IST? Just from a quick glance, IST has cheaper prices and cheaper shipping, but I don't know anything about DCBS outside of that.

Edit: Wait, DCBS has single issues. I guess that's what you guys use that for?

What does 20 Copy Incv mean? I know it's incentive, not sure about 20 copy

Yeah. They charge for shipping, too.

yep, singles and some 50% off trades i feel comfortable pre-ordering, then i'll make the occasional IST order to finish off trade desires.


i don't know much about variant/incentive cover things, i presume it has to do with retailer ordering X amount of copies.

[VanWinkle]

Ah, okay, that makes sense.


Quick question for anybody who has read Batman Eternal (the year-long weekly series): Is it one huge story arc, or are there multiple arcs within it?

 

[Simply Sarah]

Well, there are three main overarching sections of the story and those can have each Batfamily member (or members) doing their own thing in that story section. It's all one big (at times loosely) connected story in the end, though.

 

[VanWinkle]

Just read the first of the four issues in The Valiant trade. I think I'm going to like it.

Oh, okay. I wonder if each of the three main sections are the ones the three trade volumes are separated by.

Yes, that's exactly how they're divided, hence the sizes being a bit uneven.

Cool, thanks! I only have the first volume so far. I'm excited to read it.
