Is that V for Vendetta hardcover Russian?

Yes, it is Russian absolute edition.

Your wish is my command... check the shelfporn thread

I did already, speechless.

And if that's true what you said, I want that Blacksad! And John Silver.

My latest haul

Very nice. Where did you get Colossal Conan and for how much?

Ha... I only granted one wish LOL

As for that LJS box, it's sold separately in comic shops in Belgium and Netherlands for €10, so if ever you are around you should get one. You can put the Cinebook softcovers in them.

Could you post more pictures of "Here"? I thought it was oversized.

here you go:

it's not oversized, but very well build. i don't feel bigger dimensions are needed here, since it's almost all full page panels anyway.

Nice haul krylox! I loved Aama!! And Shoplifter was excellent too. Really would like to know what you think of Lena Finkle's Magic Barrel, Can't we talk about something more pleasant? and Here.

i started with "can't we talk about.." and it's excellent. i'd say it's something between an illustrated novel and a "proper" graphic novel, also the art is not something which could be classified as special or pretty BUT the story is heart wrenching and so very relatable and sincere, it's absolutely recommended. (also, it's a very nicely bound book with thick paper and beautifully printed, close to an art book).

Latest Blacksad i found is definitely the weakest story wise..

I bought Colossal Conan on IST, it cost me 87$+50$ shipping)

With Spawn Origins Vol 1 becoming widely available, I went ahead and ordered it. I read it and though it wasn't especially great, it did hit me nostalgically. I want to continue the story but am curious, when does Spawn fall off the rails? Is there a point in the series that I can feel comfortable jumping off at?

Skip ahead to David Hines run. Thats pretty much the best of Spawn. The Armageddon arc is where the book should have ended, imo.
Though the following stories by Hine where pretty good too.

That's why I strongly recommend to use Amazon.com preorders mechanism for shipping big books to Russia, it could be much more cheaper then IST )

i think i'm now getting close to "shelf porn"-state of things with my collection very soon...

Unfortunatelly it was too late to pre-order this on amazon. And I'm afraid to buy such big books on amazon.com, because amazon packs they awfully

The Nausicaa box set is a wondrous thing
