General omnibus & hardcover discussion vol. II

[Captain Craig]

Some new HCs showed up on amazon.com:
VALIANT ENTERTAINMENT:
http://www.amazon.com/Armor-Hunters-...6170478&sr=1-1

Yes! Glad to see this is happening like the Harbinger Wars one did.
My Shadowman Dlx HC arrived last night. XO Manowar Classic 90's Omnibus is for December. Q&W Dlx HC is slated for Jan so it seems there will be a good gap between editions of the Deluxe.
However, Valiant has announced a Harbingers Masters so that fills the gap sufficiently imo!
I love how VALIANT is getting their material collected now, about something every 2-3 months.

Still wish we knew when to expect that Eternal Warriors Masters edition that was solicited this time last year and never materialized.
I also hope that with the Harbingers Masters happening that we get one for Archer & Armstrong as well. Not sure if they'd do an XO one since they're doing the Omni but it'd be nice to have.

Here's a glance at Saga Deluxe v1.

Neatly done hardcover, without dust jacket (which is again, norm for Image hardcovers), sewn binding.
Bonus materials include making of Saga #4 in it's entirety + couple of sketches from Fiona.
Sadly there are no cover variants, and original covers themselves are not reproduced in full page format. And that is, only flaw in this Deluxe.
Price-to-page ratio, this is probably a best buy.

Thanks dude, I'm definitely gonna get it. Again, Fiona Staples did so much better covers for the series, it's a shame they went with this one instead of so many better ones.

So I'm in love with the movie Pacific Rim and wanted to ask if anybody has any experience with the Tales from year Zero hc?
Is the story (stories) good? How is it art wise? How is the build quality? Are there any other jeagers in it than Gipsy Danger?

I totally forgot Volume 1 was coming out this week... Probably my only must buy this year in new releases. Guess I'll be waiting until next Monday. Maybe a sale will pop up. If not I'll just snap it up.

Not reproducing the covers in full page format is a true disappointment. That's not usually ever a big deal to me, but the covers were such an awesome part of the series.

Does anyone think this will go OOP fairly quickly?

Am I the only one loving the cover of the Saga HC? The parallel between the breast and the planets, the cute face of the baby... It's an ode to maternity.

Not sure what kind of sale you're looking for. IST has it for 50% off, so I went ahead and ordered it, along with Lazarus and Casanova!

[Captain Planet]

He's taking over DnD though right?

Yeah. He's an issue or two into a new series. I'll pick that up when it gets to hardcover.

No I think it's great too. I look at it as a **** you and doubling down on the controversy created by idiots over the cover of #1.

And by the way, I'm sure I speak for more than just myself when I say if anyone gets the Zap! box set from Fantagraphics, you better take a butt load of pics to show us here! I'm drooling over the YouTube preview video and wishing I had more money.

I thought the X-O Manowar Omnibus was because the masters sold well?

IST has it for 50% off and is already live!

I'll be picking my copy up this weekend at this signing BKV is doing at a comic shop in SF. I did have to pay full cover price , but he will sign the Saga deluxe and two other books. Now I have to decide what other books for him to sign.

Could you provide us with some pictures

The CGN sale they mention that's upcoming. It's probably more then a week away, but waiting a few days won't hurt.

I know. No rush with there being a week to pick it up.
