haven't read it yet but planning to do it soon. Hellboydce mentioned that he read it years ago and remembers quite liking it and usually if he likes a book I end up liking it too.
and indeed artist and gallery editions are huge but that's the point. They reprint the art in original size and form (without colours, all pencilmarks and whatnot visible).
There is al lot to learn for me. I'm back in to comics since july. After the nineties. I've only collected European comics fot the last years, and now I'm switching. I'm discovering a lot. I'll place some pictures of my haul since july tomorrow if I have the time.
Glad to see you continuing stumptown! That Fifth Beatle was a big disappointment for me. Hope you get more out of it. Plus, I see you finally broke down and got Lumberjanes lol. No more complaining about booms pricing allowed! Lol
I got about half way through Terminal City. Found it a tad dull...
I've found Lumberjanes for 11quid on ebay so I thought I would go for it. Let's see how much I like it, not sure if I'm willing to pay twice as much for v2 if it's just good but not REALLY good. So I think I'm still allowed to complain...until I get Klaus. Because Morrison. Dang it!
Stumptown v1 was really fun but a bit too quick to read for the price (got it from the LCS). Still it was a really nice read. I heard a lot of praise for the Fifth Beatle and it was only like 11.5 quid so I decided to give it a shot.
Awesome stuff, Balakin. The Alien Original Art Edition was actually my second AE/AE-type book. Still haven't read it, though.
Big Guy and Rusty should've been bigger. It's not even as big as the original issues, let alone the b&w collection DH published of it in the 90s. And while we're at it, Darrow needs to get an AE asap.

My haul since july, except for the hellboy LE's. Got them earlier this year. BPRD Plague of frogs 1 - 4 in hc, Stumptown 1 and 2 and Chew Omnivore 1 - 3 are on their way.
100 Bullets is on my 'To Buy' list, so I'd love to get your take on it
lot of my favourites are on this pic. Some I would recommend: Sandman, Death (Sandman spin off), Books of magic, League of extraordinary gentlemen, The Boys, Atomic Robo, Metabarons, Blankets, Glory, From Hell, Sweet tooth, Powers, Bendis Daredevil, Satelite Sam, New Frontier, Scott Pilgrim.
Just off the top of my head. Some might be more miss than hit but I love all of these.
Also if you like pretencious mind bending bullcrap I would recommend Grant Morrison's stuff. Doom Patrol, Invisibles (the most pretencious and mind bending of all), The Filth (disturbing and mind bending), We3, All star Superman (these 2 are universally praised though).
I LOVE Morrison but I can understand if his writing is not someones cup of Earl Grey.
