General omnibus & hardcover discussion vol. II

[prof436]

I bought 2 of the white batman hc. Very nice book and bigger than normal ohc. It's special edition for the 75th anniversary of batman all black and white edition.

Most Moebius stuff is hard to get in English, but right next to the Moebius stuff is books by Frederik Peeters, another awesome artist. His books are somewhat easier to get hold off. Check out his Blue Pills, Sandcastle, Pachyderme, Koma and Aama.

Anyone know what the first 3 grafitti designs moebius books look like or contain? Ive never even seen what they look like

Quite enjoying my Marvel Unlimited subscription and have to agree. I am reserving my library shelves for nice hardcovers at this point.

What is sorely needed however is a 13 inch iPad. The current version is just a bit too small to be comfortable for reading.

Apologies for the slightly off-topic post and for quoting myself, but wanted to mention that I was never a Marvel reader prior to the Unlimited subscription. I will definitely be re-upping next year to continue to enjoy the stories.

I also have been spending a lot more on premium, large format books as I have started to value the paper more for an overall aesthetic and experience, than purely to read a story.

Some items I picked up at my LCS and Barnes and Noble last week

I love that line of books from Barnes & Noble. I've only got Pride and Prejudice at the moment, but want to get them all.

They have an ongoing sale right now (I don't know when it ends) where this line is ten dollars a piece for classic novels with embossed hardcovers

This is what they look like:



Graphitti moebius 1 collects Epic Moebius 1-3 (Upon a Star; Arzach; Airtight Garage)
Graphitti moebius 2 collects Epic Moebius 4-6 (The Long Tomorrow; Gardens of Aedena; Pharogenesia)

To continue your off topic, Samsung make a 12.2" tablet if you want some oversized digital comics.

Really Diamond? I have read the first 6 issues and I loved them (altough, like I said, it can get a tad too weird sometimes (Sextilon anyone?)). I'm very excited for the hardcover

What can I say? Except Runaways and some parts of Ultimate X-Men I've never liked Vaughan's writing, so I it shouldn't be a surprised but still... Saga (and a great deal of Vaughan's comics) reads too much like the storyboard for a TV series and I'm convinced that if you strip out all the weird stuff, you get an average story.

But that's my opinion, of course.

Guys, can u tell me about this one http://www.cheapgraphicnovels.com/ad...html?&cat=2827 and why i can't find it on amazon?

I think the power of Saga (at least for me) lies in the small moments, the moments where BKV's characterization shines. Like this little panel


The crazy sci-fi action is just a added bonus for me. It's the Marko-Alana realtionship that makes the book for me

Amazon currently has a Buy 3 get 30% off deal going on books (maxed at a paltry $10 off). Any bit helps!

I just ordered the Snowpiercer books and Before the Incal (pre-order) and it worked!

[Black Iron Tarkus]

Went a bit crazy this week...

First up, a bunch of heavily discounted, remaindered FB/D&Q books:


...completed the Incal coffee-table set:
