weird, when I've got them I was the only bidder for £190. I wouldn't say it's the best but it's pretty damn good. At certain points it turns into more of an illustrated essay about new age/chaos magicky theories but I enjoy that stuff so I didn't mind. But it wasn't a smooth reading experience throughout but still a rewarding one.

It was one of those ‘I want it, but I’m kinda glad I didn’t win it’ things, money would be better spent elsewhere
Also I have no time for new age hippy bullshit, which is why I have trouble with s lot Morrison’s stuff

As much as they hate each other I think they are just different sides of the same coin. I would compare this to the loeg black dossier but it doesn't really have prose but it's still not a full on proper comic book narrative like V, Loeg v1 and 2 or watchmen

Balakin, considering the library you must have built by know, do you have a favourite series or two that is a permanent fixture? What do you consider repeat reading?

It's not THAT big though Seen much bigger libraries mainly from people who collect complete lines (Masterworks, DC Archives, Etc).
This is is a bit of a tough question because in the last 4 years I bought so much stuff that I don't really want to reread anything while I have so many unread books, unless I haven't read it in like 6 or more years, since my taste and my personality shifted a bit since then.
I've reread multiple times: Daytripper, Planetary, Sleeper, Criminal, Watchmen, LoEG (v1-2, the rest will be reread later), Invisibles, Morrison's Batman (basically any Morrison), Scott Pilgrim, Bendis and Brubaker DD, Invincible, Runaways, Authority, Brubaker's Cap, Hellboy
Definitely will revisit because I absolutely adored the heck out of them: Sunstone, Transformers Phase 2, Y, Ex machina, Saga, Preacher, The Boys, Scalped, Punisher Max (Ennis, Aaron), Squadron Supreme, Vision, most of the Valiant universe, Gundam origin, Sex Criminals, Irredeemable (that's coming soon since I was following the series monthly but haven't read it since), Locke & Key (gods damned I loved that book), Rat Queens, Phonogramm, a lot of Hellblazer, O'Neill's Iron man, Girls, Alex + Ada, Revival, Velvet, chew, Sandman MT, Lucifer, Sandman....
ugh...there is so many I got tired And there is still a bunch more.

I should take a collection pic but I need to reorganise before that and I started to sweat just by thinking about it

I just realised that I had the Carnage omnibus on back-order for some horrible reason. Quickest cancellation recorded.....

Sounds ominous

oh no, it's nothing bad it's just being more open to the world and going from a sort of adventurous young adult to an actual adult who needs to sit down a bit sometimes

[Balakin]

Man, you named more series than I have ever even sampled
There is a lot of good titles in there and I want to get to most of them.

To be fair I was reading comics in my whole life (had quite limited exposure though) but in the last 10 years I was actively exploring every corner of the medium I could.
And man I didn't even mention any European titles up there or a lot of indie stuff like...
Metabarons, District 13, Loisel's Peter Pan, Millennium, Beauty by Kerascoet, Nimona, this one Summer, Giant days (that book is such a comfort read), Atomic robo, anything from Terry Moore, Blankets, Habibi, Zot, Templar, gods damned Fear Agent which is an all time favourite and I don't know why I left it out.

BTW if I were you I would definitely get these first if not already: Locke & Key, Sleeper, Daytripper, Planetary.
And depends on your age Scott Pilgrim although I've found that great when I was in my early 20s and find it great now a decade later too.
And Sunstone if you don't mind erotic content (not porn!). That book was such an eye opener for me.

Can I ask how the TR omni is? Is it a good series?

I like it a lot. The archives are the 90's series. It's just a lot of fun reading those. There is also a Library edition. Those are the new series.

I love Fear Agent. I had tge second OHC on backorder but Amazon cancelled it right when it went oop. I've seriously looked at buying Locke & Key / Planetary a few times already too. And in regards to Sunstone, after reading Saga, I don't think a series could make anyone blush tbh.

I honestly think the sex stuff in sunstone is less grating than in saga. There is more but no penetration and presentation matters a lot.

I just got my Doom Patrol by Morrison/Case omnibus. What a monster! But what a beautiful monster. One I'm proud to finally have on my shelf. Especially considering it's probably one of my favourite runs ever.
