Updated the first page with a little FAQ, some handy links and May hardcover solicitations. If you need me to add anything let me know. Where to shop is especially handy. Like where do you guys Down Under shop... I see some discount vouchers pop-up every now and then...
Yeah my first thought when I opened The Colossal C book was "holy hell I can't believe how heavy this paper is." I was expecting much thinner too...
This almost makes me want to reconsider buying this colossus. Now how easy/comfortable is it to read? Fear Agent wasn't too bad to read IIRC. And the Hellboy Library Editions are a joy to flop in my lap and read. Cap sounded like he wasn't pleased with his.
Well, I believe it weighs in at more than ten pounds, lol. It's a mammoth tome. I'm not sure it'd be too comfortable on the lap for extended periods. Otoh, I don't find the HBLEs that easy to read like that either. I generally open these books up on a table and read them. I don't mind that at all though. A reasonably comfy chair at a table with a gargantuan comic book on it in a well-lit room and I'm good to go.
I'm not a huge fan of tpbs but in this case I sold my Colossal Conan and am going to use the money to get the trades. It depends on how you like to read though. If you want to put it down on the kitchen table and don't mind being bent over it then I don't see it being a problem. That's not how I like to read and I honestly rarely even got the book off the shelf because there was always an easier book to pick up and read.
Knowing that I have a Colossal Conan at home to read motivates me in the gym.
Never heard of the Sixth Gun but after hearing everyone mention it on the boards I may have to check it out. I was also wondering if there is any news of Boom! releasing more definitive editions of Irredeemable. I've been waiting for more to come out, but it's looking like it never will.
tnx, i wasn't able to login yesterday, but i can find all my threads now
Saga deluxe is on preorder discount if anyone is interested

btw. What are your thoughts on tracking down all user submitted images&videos from collected editions of interest, and linking them together in one place, to much work?
