I'm definitely going to check it out. Love those Frison covers. HHHHNNNNGGGG
Poor quality photo, but this is my Batman collection right now. Pretty much running out of space. Only other character that comes anywhere near the number of Batman books I have is Daredevil, which is around half the size of my Batman collection. Expecting to get the Endgame hardcover soon since it's basically a sequel to Death of the Family.

The current TMNT series is fantastic. Highly recommended. Transformers MTMTE is good too.
I posted my collection once, and it hasn't changed much but here are pictures. Last three are new:
I have a Power Girl print signed by Amanda Conner framed too. Forgot to take a picture but I've posted it before.
The problem with all these collection photos is having to see so many comics in one place. I don't come here to think about comic books people. Where else on gaf am i going to get to see Olivia Wilde gifs?
Okay, fine, comics....I'm midway into issue #3 of Squirrel Girl and it's definitely growing on me and becoming a favorite in the MU-tier, not sure if it will graduate to monthly buying if i ask dcbs to add #1 of the relaunch.
Not comics: Why am i always getting credits for MGS V missions, between that and the world design and mechanics i feel like i'm playing an episodic free to play game.

Man, that's awesome. I probably only have a third of what you have, if that even. Respect.
Knightfall and No Man's Land are both on my list and have been for awhile. I'll get them eventually. No Man's Land first, though.

I'm so jealous of your Guy Red Lantern figure. I'm always keeping an eye out for one myself. Love Guy. I also have a red lantern ring. And a red lanturn pin on my backpack, heh.

I love Guy as a Red Lantern but the older stuff, when he was with the Green Lantern, he was kinda of a douche. Well written as a Red.

To be honest, he was a better fit as a Red than he's ever been as a Green.

Yeah, I only know him as a Red. My superhero reading has been is limited, as you know.
Messi's room looks cool but I wish I could see stuff better. Wanna oogle dem figures and wall art.

I looked at getting that on Amazon.ca (I'm in Canada) and it's listed at 53 dollars and up. Ouch.
Man, I think I'm not posting my collection on here again until I just straight up have a house or something to properly store it in. Have a crapton of stuff in storage right now in addition to the crapton of stuff I have out, and yet I'm still in ye old "I've got multiple sizable stacks growing on my floor" land. I really need to reorganize again...
(For what it's worth my collection would probably look at least a little better organized now as I tried to cut back all the double-booking of shelves at least, since at that point the ones in the back honestly may as well be stored away).

All these pictures of collections with TPB's are hurting my eyes.
Here's my bat collection, I'm trying to get all the deluxe editions (minus the unwrapped and noir line) released so far.
I think I'm only missing a few

I'm just jealous you guys have book shelves and shit. All my books are in boxes and bins.
I'll take better photos when it's bright out. My comic art is shown here. Some scans of the pages.

People ego leave their comics and trades on the floor in piles make me physically ill. Looking at you Zombeen.

Hardcover is usually a waste of money. It's silly to buy everything like that.All these pictures of collections with TPB's are hurting my eyes.

Yeah, I like hardbacks because they look nice and they'll probably stay nicer longer, but I almost exclusively buy trades.
I actually think trades are a more pleasant read than thin hardbacks with their really tight binding with the hard cover. That changes when you get into the sewn bindings however, but you pretty much never see good bindings in thin (say, <300pg) hardbacks.
BuddyJoeHooker
Member
Oh ok
I like trades as well but they are usually something I expect to get damaged because they are so fragile, a bent corner or frayed pages happens all the time. Also they don't stack well because the spine is thicker then the pages, hardcovers don't have that problem.

Y'all are trippin. Hardcover and digital are the only things worth the money.

Deluxe hardcovers, sure. But buying a hardcover of 4-5 issues? Naaaaaaah.

If it's oversized, it's good enough for me. I'll take 4 issues in ohc if I absolutely loved it, though I do it with the knowledge that I'm doing it as a collector and not because it's a good value.
BuddyJoeHooker
Member
I'll mostly agree with that except for a few exceptions, Deluxe hardcovers with nearly a year's worth of comics is like the best thing to buy.
Zaraki_Kenpachi

I have to say, though. The Doctor Who graphic novel I have from Titan Comics has a wonderful double-fan adhesive binding with zero gutter loss, and it's only like 140 pages. I couldn't believe it. Only thin hardback I've personally seen that doesn't have a ribbon that is flush against the spine.

I have a stack on my nightstand next to me bed that are currently my "reading list." Beyond that they're all shelved
Why can't I find that on Marvel Unlimited? I am in the browse series page on my tablet, and I don't see it.
it's The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, probably under U.
edit: Nope, under T because reasons.
i ended up dropping Ms. Marvel along with Silver Surfer in the great purge, both are books I was eager to get back to on MU when i resubbed which is now so i am. Ms. Marvel's wolverine team-up and clock villain bird guy put me off it.

I think Ms. Marvel is still the overall top Marvel girly hijinks book for me. Squirrel Girl has some funny shit in it, but MM has that slice of life stuff I crave. And dat art. Hope they put out an omnibus of the pre-ANAD series. Otherwisd I'll have to snag the hardcovers.
Under T?! What on earth man. Okay, thanks. I've been wanting to try it out and my subscription expires on the 27th, so I will now read them.

Is it just me or is Spider-Gwen pretty meh? I read ANAD Gwen #1 and it still has the same problem as the last volume. The story is so mediocre that I just lose interest. Same thing that happened with DC's new Canary book. I WANT to like them. I like the characters, but these stories are too middling for my monies.
I thought it was pretty bad.

The art is okay, but the story is like poop going into your eyeballs.
