I do bag mine when I can to avoid shelf wear and dust. I never thought it looked ridiculous, although I guess it might to some. A friend once asked why the books had "condoms" on. It's always a...

I put a bunch of wavy books in the trunk of my car on a warm day one time, and after a few hours they all flattened out.
Just Mage: The Hero Denied #3 for me. One of the few books that are Day 1 purchases for me.
For The Hero Discovered, I would personally go with the three oversized Donning/Starblaze softcovers. These were also released as limited edition signed hardcovers with slipcases (V-1 is green; V-2...
I enjoyed the Pander Bros.' art on Grendel (moreso in the issues they inked themselves). After their arc ended, and Bernie Mireault came on board for his three-issue run, many people complained...
I had a hard time getting a copy of TR Archives in good condition. It's a really attractive book, which is why I was dismayed when it arrived from Barnes & Noble (I used a 30% off coupon) with large...
Hellboydce, the LE (I'm assuming you mean Library Edition) I'm waiting for is another Hellboy Library Edition collecting Hellboy in Hell. So far I've managed to reisist buying the trades. I know...
Always happy to come out of lurking to talk Grendel.
I was referring to mild spoilers for post-Hunter Grendel storylines that show up towards the end of Behold the Devil, which was partly...
It is a little annoying that some parts of the series were released in hardcovers while others were only put out as trades.
Here's a pic of my Grendel HC/TPB collection:

Devil Quest, one of the last Grendel stories in the timeline, sets up the second Batman/Grendel crossover. I don't think you will be lost, though--basically, Grendel-Prime disappears for a bit (when...
Received The Complete Crepax Vols. 1 & 2 this week. I actually ordered Vol. 1 from Amazon last year, but it arrived a bit damaged. This time, I ordered from InStockTrades, and I couldn't be...
I picked up the four Druuna HCs that have been released so far in English and I'm awaiting the last volume. I really enjoy Serpieri's art (especially in the prequel story, Anima), but I find some of...
Actually, $100 is the cover price of the limited HC.
I picked up the Woman Woman George Perez omnibus and Absolute Court of Owls with the B&N codes (I'm excited to get these, as I haven't read either of these stories). I purchased a bunch of books...
The Batman/Grendel hardcover was limited to just 300 copies, which is why it's so scarce (they didn't even print enough copies to fill all the preorders they got). I had to drive to a comic shop in...
Terry Moore was at Baltimore Comic-Con this weekend and he had copies of the Rachel Rising HC (the regular edition) and the SC. I picked up a copy of the Echo SC, which he generously offered to sign...
If you liked Grendel vs. The Shadow, I would recommend picking up the Grendel: Behold the Devil hardcover. It's relatively cheap, and it looks good next to the Grendel vs. The Shadow HC (assuming...
Okay, I see. I'm not sure if krylox was referring to all of Mage: The Hero Discovered ("Mage I") as "the first volume," or if he meant the first volume of Mage I (that's what I thought he meant). ...
Also, the book (the Dark Horse edition) seems to have gone of print fairly quickly. I was interested in checking out Borgias, but when I went to look for a copy, it was only available from third...
I would say Mage improves a lot as the series goes on. The first few chapters are a bit crude, much like Wagner's early Grendel issues. However, the art becomes much cleaner when Sam Kieth starts...
I've had this happen too. It's the humidity. I noticed a bunch of my books had wavy pages one time. I placed them in the trunk of my car for a few hours during the summer, and the pages...
Here is the listing for the hardcover on Amazon:

It's available to preorder at B&N:

Girls is pretty good, but I think Ultra and (especially) The Sword (both also by The Luna Bros.) are better. As you say, the premise of Girls is quite interesting, but I felt the story was a little...
I also picked up a bunch of books from the B&N sale. I started reading Lazarus yesterday (got the first two collections) and it's great stuff. I feel like the best deal (considering the amount of...
