General omnibus & hardcover discussion vol. II

[QComix]

if this happens on older books that you can't return, what type of glue would you use to fix it yourself?

Attachment 36308I have used it on several books sewn and glued type bindings and it works awesome. I have even used it to repair a crack between signatures where you could see the cloth backing in the gutter and it came out good as new. There is the repair thread a few pages in started by cerd the nerd that has some good info/instructions.

Here's the link to the repair thread, for anyone interested : http://community.comicbookresources....Marvel-Omnibus

What's the story on Irredeemable, I want to check it out but I remember seeing chatter about abandoned format. Did they restart that or was there a higher end presentation than these? What is the quality/size like on these?

they did a slipcased, absolute sized edition with the first 11 or 12 issues and never followed it up with further volumes. Seems like the new deluxes are here to stay. Shame it's overpriced.

It's a steal compared to the price BOOM! has put on its lumberjanes deluxes. Even klaus is more expensive at fewer issues

[VanWinkle]

Man, I wish BOOM stuff wasn't so expensive. I'd LOVE to get those Irredeemable premiere editions, but just too much money for the page count.

Yeah one nice omnibus would be cool. Plus one for the sister title - which I liked better - as well!

[aaltomuoto]

My latest arrivals, this was an expensive week...

Cheap-comics order


I went to the Haarlem comic festival this weekend and picked up loads of books


And I got a nice drawing by Mezzo in my copy of "Love in Vain" (I got a couple more dedi's at the festival but this one is the nicest by far)

[LordJulius]

Awesome choices, aaltomuoto. Just ordered Kabuki vol. 2 myself. And Peplum's been on my list for a while now as well.

Haul for May, lot of books this time.

Got some polish comics brought to London by my friend, Catwoman by Brubaker in deluxe HC, stuff from 2000AD in awesome hardcover editions. Bought stuff by Milligan for signing at Gosh, was first in a queue, had some nice conversation with him, told him that Dark Knight Dark City is my favourite Batman story ever. Shame that McCarthy didn't show up.

Managed to snag Bad Company for 20 quid from German Amazon - it was sent from US thou - and last time I've checked it was worth 120 quid in UK. Already read Enigma, love it, it's very weird, it's the best book by Morrison which hasn't been written by Morrison. Unfortunatelly Johnny Nemo HC didn't arrive on time. What else....BTW Bad Company is good, 2000AD is my favourite publisher now, sooooo many great books

Passangers of the Wind, book two: awesome art, almost like paintings, if you like history grab it. First book has better story but some art, specially faces, is bad.

There is even book from Marvel. Yeah I know, right? I just had to get it. Don't know why I got GL omni thou, guess price was too good.

Ex Machina vol 4 from FP store for 24 quid, bargain, waiting for vol 1 which had cost me 2.80. If you'd like to ask about something, don't hesitate. I don't have much time in my life now, try to be more active and spend free time outside and I'm getting a bike, so I would have even less time for reading, but the time I spend in buses, oh man, I leave house at 7:15 to get to work at 9:00 and sometimes I'm not sure would I make it, traffic in one particular area is bad. New challenge for me anyway, never cyckled in London.

Oh, and I got team leader position at work. Life's good.

awesome haul and damn those polish hc-s, why couldn't DC publish that Catwoman run like that? Weird you got the GL omni, I thought it would be too "superhero" for you.
Good luck with the cycling, probably cheaper and healthier than stressing on public transport.

[MartinNL]

Also went to the Haarlem comics festival. Nice haul, but all books in Dutch... But of course Trashed was originally in English, and A Song Called City you can read for free in English online at http://asongcalledcity.com/

I also had my Love In Vain book signed by Mezzo, but very similar looking to Aaltomuoto's drawing. Also know that it will be published in English later this year by Faber & Faber!!

Two more drawings I got from Jeroen Janssen in my Abadaringi book and from Derf Backderf in Trashed.

Thanks! Read Enigma man, you gonna love it. I don't hate all superhero stuff, it's just the fact it's all the same, specially when it comes to Marvel. Heard very good opinions about Johns' run so I'll give it a go.

Market in Poland is huge, tons of publishers, nice looking books. How about Hungary?

Enigma is incredible.
