Yes, but depending on the biding—sewn or glued—you may end up having to trim the binding side a little. I'm not sure a binder couldn't guarantee that you wouldn't lose some image in the final...

If you're reading paperbacks with that many pages, you're probably also dealing with lower quality paper stock, which means you're also going to want to keep them out of direct sunlight. Light can...
Yeah, I gotta say, I don't think I'd recommend Secret Wars as a starting place. The commitment's huge and, as with any "event", the shake-out is extremely uncertain, both in terms of plot and...
I can whole-heartedly reiterate recommendations for Jason Aaron's recent Thor: God of Thunder runs, beginning with The God Butcher, and Mark Waid's Daredevil runs, beginning with Vol. #3 launched in...
Pull list:
Black Science
East of West
The Fade Out
The Luther Strode series
Ody-C
Revival
Sex Criminals
Southern Bastards
Wytches
So, if you're looking for digitally printed graphics on slick, glossy stock, you're restricted more or less to the last 15 or so years to reliably expect them to look that way in person, though some...
Like any publisher, it's going to have hits and misses and a lot of strong (but less exceptional) stuff in between, but I have to say Image's batting average is well above any domestic comics...
I had exactly the same experience when I started reading comics a few years ago. I think I caught the front, more or less, of the current Image Comics creative boom—for reference, I started reading...
American Vampire
Daredevil by Waid
Thor: God of Thunder by Aaron
Saga
Hawkeye by Fraction
Fatale, Deluxe editions
Chew, Omnivore editions
The Superior Foes of Spider-Man
Morning Glories,...
Doesn't bother me at all. Without title (Mr., Ms., Dr., etc) it is either extremely informal or extremely impersonal, either someone you know well and consider a friend or someone you hardly know at...
Hmm..."interpenetration"? ;)
I'm with Ramsay Snow on this one. Twelve Monkeys was a mildly clever, Gilliam-twisted post-apocalyptic drama until the closing scenes. But to a certain extent, it's...
Yours is a very sensible take on the whole idea. I didn't mean to suggest that writers attempt to recreate these characters from a vacuum, exclusively incorporating only the broadest character...
First of all, only about 10% of the titles I follow feature licensed characters and all of those from the Big 2 I follow in collected formats. By far I do prefer creator owned series, even from...
That probably belongs to a different category of endings that made the movie, i.e., movies that would have been bad, boring or just forgettable without an ending that elevates the whole thing. In an...
While I don't share your sensibilities in either the integrity of characters across several series or the same pleasure in assembling knowledge of continuity, canon and backstory from other series or...
In a career of masterpieces and many films that fall just short, The Departed might very well be my favorite Scorsese movie. Acknowledging that it was already based on a very strong movie, it was...
Blow-Up is so good! It's a strange, hypnotic ending to a surreal story that (for a while, at least) tricks you into thinking the murder in the park might be what the movie is about.
It's not entirely terrible, but it certainly is disappointing. I was loving Edgar Wright's The World's End until the apocalypse. The whole movie nailed everything up to the departure of the aliens....
Inspired by the thread that bemoans pesky endings to otherwise excellent movies, I thought I'd start one to celebrate movies that really landed the ending with style, much better than anticipated,...
Perhaps it's because I have a differently nuanced definition of "completionist," but I'm not sure this impulse is necessarily a bad thing for comics. As I use the term, a "completionist" is a reader...
I've always found the Alien "series" to be a highly useful litmus test to just about everyone's action movie tastes. I use quotation marks precisely because there is minimal continuity of creative...
Ah! If the question is that of print editions you can have printed (but not customized) on order, I can absolutely see the benefit. If it would keep past editions of more obscure works from going...
I guess I'm not entirely clear what the benefit is here. Typically, I'm buying collected editions for series/runs I've not yet read. In part, I rely on editorial discretion to assemble the...
I came in expecting to vote for Guardians of the Galaxy (which I did), but damn if I didn't almost entirely forget about both Snowpiercer and X-Men: Days of Future Past. It was a really strong year...
At the risk of overwhelming you with recommendations and, of course, knowing that this is the collected editions forum, I would still add a few current series to the stellar recommendations offered...
