    Great stuff! Let me know what you think about Throne of Ice, I've read bit lukewarm reviews.
    Also, Son of the gun in quite f#&@ed up. Not an easily digestible story with a very unlikeable protagonist. I don't say it's bad, just a warning
    District 14 is reeeaaaallllyyyy good, read the first season and ordered season 2 and The Fantastic voyage of Lady Rosenbilt right away.

    Must be. Shame, I prefer this new cover to the crocodile skin one that I have.

    same size yes, even a bit taller with the slipcase. Art is good, not as good as Swords of glass but I think the story is better done than SoG.

    Thanks!

    Nope. almost only IST. I've been burned by sellers on Amazon and eBay, and IST has never disappointed me other than not having a lot of stuff in stock.

    Will do in regards to Throne of Ice. It looks so cool so the mediocre reviews have me scratching my head. I have seen a few good reviews (on Humanoid's website) so we will see. I am super stoked for District 14!

    Looks like we have very similar tastes in books! Great haul. I'm interested to hear your thoughts on Naja and Beauty.

    Naja is good although it has some disturbing stuff in it. Don't want to spoil anything, let's say, if you weren't outraged by the (brilliant) movie Oldboy (original, not the remake) than you probably will be alright.
    Definitely planning to buy other books from the creators (Zaya or Luminae), it was an engaging read.
    Loved Beauty. Maybe the art is not for everybody but I think it's brilliant and suits the story perfectly. It's an adult fairy tale, but not adult like Game of thrones (that's Beautiful darkness, which still haunts me) it's more like Gaiman's stuff (not the storytelling style, more like the tone).

    Talesofwonder.com is owned by the same people that own IST and DCBS. When you order books from Talesofwonder, they are actually shipped from IST. The reason I ask is that Talesofwonder has a buyer rewards program where you get a $5 coupon for every $50 you spend in a 30-day period. It's nice because you can save them up and, if money is tight one month, use them to supplement your cash.

    So just got these

    Civil War: FF OHC
    B.P.R.D vol. 3 HC
    Spider-man Bigtime Ultimate Collection
    Criminal Deluxe vol. 2

    All for about 200 dollar incl. shipping. Really hoping they are worth it. And before you bash me for paying to much. I live in Europe and actually think this is a great deal.

    well, personally I couldn't give to sh@ts about Civil war or the FF (although I can vaguely remember reading something CW related with the Thing which wasn't horrible) but the other 3 are some awesome books.
