The Collected Editions Shelf Porn: Show me the goods!

[Hellboydce]

Good job. The shelves came out great.

What kind of wood did you use for the shelf holding the books? I like how wide they are but would worry about some bowing over time.

38mm mdf which weighed a tonne, with supports about a meter apart, with timber trim to front for painting, as mdf paints well apart from where it’s cut, they are solid, had same in softwood at old house and they bowed, these won’t

I was reading comics when I was a kid and stopped in my early 20s for some reason. I decided to get back into it about one year ago, perhaps motivated by the Marvel movies. So I have started this collection from scratch.20191206_180052.jpg20191206_180043.jpg

Looking good. The movies got me back into collecting around 8 years ago or so also. I stopped as a teenager back in the 80s. I see you have the Marvelocity Alex Ross book, I'm after that myself.

When I got back into comics through the movies I went with digital comics initially, but then just felt I needed to switch to physical comics and start a collection. Marvelocity was actually a gift from work colleagues!

I started 2019 with a handful of hardcovers (some core Absolutes and few other random books). Now I need to start on my other Kallax shelves (I have 2 single column units with trades and random books). Quite a few books on pre-order but the bulk of the heavy lifting is done.

Very impressive considering you moreorless started at the beginning of last year. Am I the only one who has Absolutes on the bottom shelf?

I have not actually.....I'd say 15 to 20 books have yet to be read. I'm recovering from knee surgery so I've had time to read a few of the unread: Gotham Central Omni, Velvet Deluxe & DCeased. Planning to read Kill or Be Killed today & tomorrow.

Below is a part of my collection. About 40% of my omnis. Reorganizing my shelves. About halfway through but coming along nicely.

Coming along very nicely. No Daredevil Miller Companion Omnibus?

Nice to see you on here, man. I will definitely be posting the end result fairly soon. As early as tonight perhaps.

That will be corrected very soon, my friend. I’m also hoping that IST will have Daredevil Bendis Vol 1 in stock real soon. I should have bought it but I have the three ultimate collection trades and wanted to unload those first. Didn’t think it would go so fast.
