[QUOTE=Roland1580;26254]It's a pity all forum content was lost. Anyway. Here are some of my latest purchases:

I'm happy because Astonishing x-men omnibus and all Starmen omnibuses was sold by one of the Russian comics collectors only for ~230 dollars. Great deal.
Btw, Daytripper deluxe is great. And I liked Aama too, can't wait until the second hardcover release![/QUOTE]
Ha you went with that great deal. Good on ya! Looking forward to that Over Easy HC. Supposed to be pretty good. Have you read it yet?
[QUOTE=Canucked;26422]Thanks! I just read up on Incognito and it sounds like something I would like.[/QUOTE]
It's really good don't get me wrong but for me it was just missing the magic of Sleeper and Criminal.
Still very good comics though.

i also enjoyed aama quite a bit. i just saw volume two pop up on amazon, i think a october or november release.
[QUOTE=aaltomuoto;25588]BIG haul this week:
A mix of new and 2nd hand books, I think I officially have to much editions of "Eyes of the Cat" now :D
[url]http://i59.tinypic.com/1605xn5.jpg[/url]
And the big one: All Tintin albums in (Dutch) Facimile editions.
[url]http://i57.tinypic.com/2mgnnzd.jpg[/url][/QUOTE]
Awesome haul. How are those Hilda books? I loved Luke Pearson's Everything We Miss, and although targeted at kids is Hilda enjoyable for adults too?
It's also been ages since I read some of those Tintin books. Which ones should I get first if I were to build up the complete collection?
My haul this week (of which the 4 on the left are in Dutch)....
I got the first volume of the second cycle of The Third Testament, of which the first cycle will be published later this year by Titan Comics. Also got Elric, another title that will be published by Titan Comics in September/October. Check out some preview pages with stunning artwork here [url]http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=preview&id=21452[/url] Also got the start of the new cycle of Copra (yeah not hardcover...) And finally I got that Eros Gone Wild book and I can tell you it's smoking hot inside that book. Mature readers only!

I thought the same thing. I love everything Brubaker/Phillips, but I thought Incognito (though good) was not on the same level as everything else they've done.

I 100% agree with everything you said. Scene of the Crime is also worth mentioning, even though Philips wasn't as involved.

I started getting them out in order from my local library, the first two weren' that great so started picking them out by ones i remembered reading when i was much younger. I enjoyed Cigars of the pharaoh, Blue Lotus, Destination Moon, Red Rackhams treasure The Mushroom one, and the oil one I remember being good from years ago. Once you're past Tintin in America they're mostly pretty good.

Talking of this makes me remember that I need to get hold of the Fatale Deluxe Edition soon.
I've heard it will be ending with 24? So I assume there will just be a second deluxe soon after the series ends?

+1 here.
The first three books (especially Soviets and Congo, America is a bit better) you could basically skip. But then I would strongly advise to start with the Cigars and respect the reading order (Blue Lotus, Broken ear, Black Island). The main reason is that all these books and stories are very good and some of them either build directly on each other (the 2 Rackham/Unicorn and 2 Moon stories are basically one big storyline) or the way some of the characters are introduced and show up in some other books later is quite funny and interesting and sometimes enhances the reading experience. You can't do anything wrong reading Tintin :-)
FCBD haul:
Only thing I grabbed was the Archaia HC for my kid. The rest of the books were 40% off US cover price, which was really nice. I didn't get there until after work so I missed out on getting the copy of Before the Incal. And I should have waited on the Metabarons Genesis: Castaka, cause that was 40% off too. Ah well. Sometimes I'm too impatient. :cool:

[QUOTE=Catspit;26234]the new darkhorse relases are oversized?[/QUOTE]
I don't know whether they're actually oversized since I don't know what the size of the original EC comics was, but these books are just as tall as Marvel's and DC's OHCs, yes.
[SIZE=1]I thought you would have bought one by now, though. :)[/SIZE]

[QUOTE=johnsme;28771]Could you post some pics of inside Mouse Guard and Mesmo Delivery? I wanted both of those today, but both stores I went to were out of Mouse Guard and had not even gotten Mesmo. Is Mouse Guard worth $5?[/QUOTE]
It depends. I personally wouldn't pay $5 for something that was free, but... if you have to have it, there could be worse things to spend $5 on. I haven't read it yet, but some of the art is very nice inside. The binding is tight, but it loosens up and it's actually kind of a nice book for being free.

The Hilda books are fun all ages books, I still enjoy them even though I'm ancient ;)
As for Tintin: mostly what the others said, start with "Cigars of the Pharaoh" but the series gets really good once Haddock enters the scene (in "The Crab with the Golden Claws"). The last two albums are not as good as the rest.
They still hold up IMO, even though some of these stories were drawn 60 years ago

You will probably not get as much out of it as someone who read all of the Locas stories. It's basically an endpoint for a (sub)plot that ran for years (for now anyway. he might reopen it again later, you never know with xaime).
