they have the silver age dc book and also some fine and pop art stuff on sale... just ordered 10 books.

As I understand, now they made only the first 350 copies of Daomu and Love: Tiger with numbered prints. No slipcased versions for these books

Yeah. I was a little disappointed there was no slip case version of Daomu. They didn't do a limited version at all of Meka. They told me it wasn't worth it for Meka due to it being a small book. Love the slipcases on Naja, Zaya and Luminae. I don't think they must be selling a lot through the web store because all the limited editions are still available and even after so many releases I still got the gold seal on Daomu which they only produced 300 of.

just finished zenith vol 1 and: yeah, it's quite nice, but i'm happy i haven't (pre-) ordered the other volumes, yet. does it improve over the course of the next volumes..?
i mean, really, it's ok and the book is really well built and all, but i feel that the content just doesn't hold up. and also makes for a pretty expensive experience (>20€ for 100 pages of story)

So how long do you guys think before we start to see a solicit for the first Deluxe Hardcover for East of West? Read the first trade, enjoyed it and I've been waiting!

Great hauls, Martin and NP. Sadly, the second part of Stalag will only be out in April over here. I'm also still waiting for my copy of Hickman's FF 2. Ordered it from one of those US Marketplace sellers who are cheap but apparently have their books delivered by a geriatric turtle.

Here's my purchases from this past week:



"Spirit Vol.2" is absolutely gorgeous.

Read "Berlinoir" last night, which is an awesome book. Excellent moody art by Kleist ("Castro", "The Boxer"), in which he incorporates e.g. imagery from German expressionist movies like "Nosferatu" or Fritz Lang's "M". The story itself deals with vampires, but also reflects the political developments in and having to do with Berlin from the late 19th century up until today, i.e. from imperial Germany through the upheavals of the Weimar Republic and the "Third Reich" to the division during the Cold War and beyond. (Bit much history, I know. Can't help myself, I'm a bit of a history buff/geek).

Was anyone else aware the Rising Stars Compendium is getting reprinted?

hc or the paperback? I've read the story several times like 7-8 years ago and loved it, really would like to own it too but heard very bad things about it's quality of the compendium. (also, I'm not really interested in the spin off which is also included in the comp.)

Seems to be a TPB reprinting with a February release date. We'll see what the first victims say about the binding when it's finally out.

It's listed as being published by Image instead of Top Cow, so that's got my attention.

I just need to unload my top cow edition if this Image one is legit.

thanks! Sounds promising. If it's the usual Image compendium quality then I'm definitelly gonna buy it.

Holding onto a prayer that if they're redoing Rising Stars as Image quality compendiums, they might redo the Witchblade ones as well.

Very nice! I desperately wanted to buy this, but my bank account told me no.
