General omnibus & hardcover discussion vol. II

[MartinNL]

i also bought the cloud. can you tell me about helena after youve read it? i only know english though.

Still need to read The Cloud, but I did read Helena vol. 1 & 2 and I really enjoyed them. Basically it's about Simon who is head over heels in love with Helena, ever since high school. But she is one of those girls that is a little too pretty. Simon is now an adult and when he sees Helena again after many years she has become even more beautiful than he remembered. But what if he were to pay Helena 1000 euro a month to spend 3 hours a week with him every Thursday afternoon. Not for sex, just to get to know here a little better...

The premise sounds a little cheesy and Pretty Woman like, but that's not the case. I did some short reviews of both volumes on goodreads and rated the books 4/5* https://www.goodreads.com/MartinNL

I don't expect to get anything more this month, so here it is, my haul. Rachel Raising, my copy is 659, so close to 666.

Hard to believe I'm already half way through with Judge Dredd, awesome books.

Art of BB has arrived too late to get it signed but still happy, great looking book.

ABC Warriors!!!

Found Crossed vol 2 for cheap, need vol 1 now.

Spidey by Todd. OK, it's pure nostalgia purchase. McFarlane's writing is the worst but I love his art. Maybe I'd trade it...

Hellboy. I need vol 4 only. And then BPRD.

Great Haul Lvizzz Where did you get Rachel Rising Omnibus HC ? i checked the amazon out for it but couldn't find it...

An Omnibus edition of Robocop stories is schedule for December 2016, but in the meantime I have put my hand on this nice French limited collected edition of Robocop Last Stand (adapted from Frank Miller's script for Robocop 3).

Can't wait for The Sin City Curator's collection! now.

Has this been any good? The show's pretty crap. Definitely an argument for waiting until the source material actually exists before trying to adapt it . . .

[awayne83]

Think the show adheres pretty closely to the books. So maybe a pass for you then. I enjoy both.

Is the omnibus softcover? Also, what is the curator collection? Sounds intriguing.

honestly, IDW pisses me off so much sometimes but other times I'm just greatfull for them to publish some books (but mostly they piss me off with the unreliable releases).

When I get it, it'll be a re-read anyway and I've got a few collections of either all new or mostly new content to read till then. No harm.

[awayne83]

Its just the principle. Its not like idw pumps out collected editions like marvel (or DC for that matter) so i would expect them to have their **** together a little better. But they've consistently missed release dates, so at this point i shouldn't be surprised, but 5 months? Really?!!

The Sin City Curator Edition is an Artist Edition like book. Amazon has a preview here:

And also according to amazon listing, the Robocop Omnibus will be a softcover:

Are my fellow Canadian comic lovers aware of the bonus 15% off code Amazon.ca is currently offering on books? The promo code is PROMO15

I just took advantage of it to catch up on my Goon and Sixth Gun HCs...

I'm gutted TMNT has been pushed back, but I've got plenty to read in the mean time. I'm more annoyed that the first Outcast hardcover only goes up to issue 12. I was hoping it would go up to issue 18.
