So I want to buy the Sandman run but don't want to pay 100 bucks for the paperbacks when I can pay 100 bucks more for the first four Absolutes. I noticed that Absolute Death is OOP though so I wanted to ask whether there's any chance of Vertigo rereleasing it or not.

Also, let's get a buy/shelf thread going but with the proper pasta.

Don't know where to buy? Try these:
https://www.amazon.com/
https://www.bookdepository.com (worldwide shipping)
http://www.booksetc.co.uk/ (EU)
http://cheap-comics.com (EU)
https://www.instocktrades.com/ (worldwide shipping)
https://www.mycomicshop.com (worldwide shipping)
http://www.speedyhen.com (UK)
https://www.tfaw.com (worldwide shipping)

According to cheap-comics, it is. The editions I find are almost three times the price as a regular Absolute Sandman. I don't want to pay that much for a book that has fewer pages than the previous ones. I never receive an email from the publishers so I don't have a clue whether it will be in stock again or whether I have to wait for years

I see. I say go and dip your head into some EU Amazon's, de, fr, uk. The prices seem a steeper than 75 EUR, but not as steep as 150.
I dont really know if they are going to reprint it any time soon in the absolute format, as they have one alternative: the Deluxe Death, Which has like 15 pages less that are sketches, I think I just have the absolute.

Like 60 bucks each. I also got the 2 vols of Body Bags (because why not?) for cheap, and commissioned an artist for a sweet Livewire painting. I spoiled myself a bit because of my birthday and tax return. In hindsight though I should have axed the commission and got more comics. Plan to complete Sandman, snag the Fourth World omni, and a few other things like Tomasi deluxe Superman sooner or later.

Shucks, I've been buying the Sandman absolutes but would have bought Death last since I've already read it and it's short.

I bet they will reprint it because the Sandman absolutes have been kept in print for a looong time.

Yeah, I know that feeling. Wanted to buy the slipcase as I had mentioned in an earlier thread but it seems like that one is out of print as well. Would have saved me a lot of bucks. I don't see a point in buying the issues separately though AND pay more than the slipcase so I'm on the verge of just getting the Absolutes. Good thing is that I'm momentarily selling off some figures so for each figure, I'll probably be able to afford one Absolute

Yeah, that's what my question was basically about. I have seen the other Absolutes be in print all the time so this came as a surprise.
Would you recommend someone who has never read Sandman before to just get the Absolutes? My logic is that I don't want to waste money twice so I might as well just go all out

I pirated the whole series and read the first 9 trades then stopped. Now I'm buying the absolutes and re-reading it all. I loved it so much that the absolutes are a no-brainer but if you've never read it then it's impossible to say.
You can buy the first one and then resell it if it doesn't hook you and convince you to keep going.

The Angela Carter book? It's a worldwide collection of fairy/folk tales, not just Japanese. It's a nice read if you're into that stuff.

Try the Book of Yokai, perhaps? You'll probably wanna go manga if you want Japanese folk tales in comic form.

Also, just in case you thought it was, not a comic/graphic novel, but does have little illustrations.

How's Go Go Monster? I've only read one volume of Matsumoto, but I love his art and I'd like to get something contained before going down another multi-volume rabbit hole before I finish some other series.

5 and 6 are on the way. Yes, I bought 7 before them.
What have you read from Matsumoto? His stuff always has that distinct Matsumoto feel, this one deals with alienation, loneliness and imagination. It's about a kinda friendless middle schooler that has a spirit friend only he sees, and another kid that befriends him. It's hard to properly describe it because it has this wonderful magical feeling to it and is pretty short. It's my second favorite Matsumoto work behind Takemitsu Zamurai, although I have not read Sunny yet, only the first 2 or so chapters back when it was still a new series. Oh and I haven't read Cats of Louvre either since it isn't scanlated but it got licensed so I think I'm going to end up reading that before Sunny since I'm a pretty slow reader and I'm considering blind buying Sunny and then reading it in print.
Anyway, due to being only one volume it's a good entry point, I reckon. If not try Ping Pong or Black and White first and then come back to Gogo monster.

I've only read Sunny vol. 1. I really liked it. It has a dreamy kind of feeling, like the magical feeling you're referencing. It touches on some of those same themes, too.
It was a random pick at the library, and I realized I've seen his name here after the fact. Lucky find!

Art wise I think Sunny should be a lot better than Gogo Monster, iirc he did that in a fairly short amount of time and Sunny. You can't really go wrong with Matsumoto though, his works sometimes will feature the similar themes but his stories are all quite different from one another.

Yeah, not the anon asking, but I think Slott can eat my entire ass because of what he did to Spider-Man. All I remember is a preview for the Silver Surfer book and the Silver Surfer saying "SIlver Off" and turning into a human. People were scared of him still and called him a Herald. So the obvious Doctor Who companion rip off called him "Harold". It's bad

Fixed. The worst thing it does against Kirby is that he makes the origin of the Kirby krakle to be because of his dumb OC. other than that it shits on the character's lore from other runs and it tries to be funny but fails. Dumb Dr. Who rip off.

I don’t know but I’m not in charge of publishing, that’s just the way it is. After a while reading right to left kind of becomes part of the charm of reading manga, and then you’ll come along a manga that’s westernized left to right, and it feels out of place, like it’s wrong. I suppose there’s also something to be said about that when the artist is constructing a page in manga is it’s meant to be viewed that way, and by flipping the image you aren’t necessarily getting the original intent of the author. That’s something to think about

It's time consuming. Why do it if you can just leave it the way it is and save time? Also, you are forgetting that you would have to do it for every manga when there's thousands of different series. It's just stupid from a business perspective when part of the charm comes from the original reading order, making readers actually feel like they're reading books from another culture. I get why you would feel annoyed by it though because the West is filled with dubs etc., basically making every reading and viewing experience way too comfortable. In other countries, they just sub movies and that's it

First you have to completely mirror the panels.
Then you have to consider any text that isn't dialogue, it would't do for a sign that says MAY to read YAM, now would it?
Then you have to consider any directional context. Why is everyone left handed? What if someone gets shot though the heart? Why is Ed apologizing for saluting with his right arm?

OR
You could just translate the speech bubbles and add some TL notes for the sound effects.

Give Franken Fran a chance, it's more comedic but I think the mix of body horror, comedy, dark fairy tale style morality tales and ero-guro works. If you like Junji Ito's shorter works you should enjoy it.

Dementia 21 has an official english version now too which has a similar vibe to the later parts of Uzumaki where shit is going nuts. Junji Ito sort of crosses over into ero-guro at times and Shintaro Kago is a great entrypoint for that.

I asked for a refund through the amazon process, they sent me the paperwork to return, I sent an e-mail saying I shouldn't have to pay postage and they just said to keep the book and they can send a new one or refund me in full. so I got a free book, damaged but now I can order something else. I'll call that a victory.

it's total shit, I'm sorry but Tynion narration is the fucking worst. I wanted to like it and tried so hard to over look his faults. But his Detective Chimp shit just threw me over the edge, he just was so repetitive
>and the Chimp blah
>The Chimp drank
>the Chimp took a sip
>the Chimp felt bad
>the Chimp took a sip

over and over and over, it was just unbearable. And yeah, that was one bad issue, but the rest haven't been much better

it's usually a good idea to read something online before blind buying. But also, Spider-fags are the fucking worst, they never ever have gotten over One More Day and they still have not stopped complaining about Slott despite him not writing Spider-Man anymore. They don't give a shit about any of the side books, nor do they care about Spencers book, all they can talk about is Slott. They truly are mentally damaged, and whether that is Slotts fault or not, I have no clue, but they are truly fucked.

The end says end of volume 1 so probably but it's kind of like a serial with no real overrarching narrative. The only real through line is the protagonist and her job.

Like one chapter ends with an apocalypse and Yukie leading the elderly up a literal stairway to heaven and another ends with the nursing home being the tip of a rocket that gets launched into space with all the nursing home residents floating in space in space suits.

People don't blame Slott for One More Day tho, and I probably will read some of SS online soon. That said, the quality of his Spidey run fell and never came back up after Spider Island. That's years of trash that Spidey's still recovering from. No one's obligated to check anything else when his flagship run's that bad. As Surferfag I'm just kind of interested

No problem, mate. Why would buying paperbacks be shameful? Go with the version you seem appropriate for your needs and budget. I buy mostly paperbacks but once in a while resort to Deluxe Editions because they are more cost effective than buying paperbacks (TDKR Deluxe). I'm also OP who is thinking about buying the Absolute Sandman Eds because paperbacks wouldn't be that much cheaper than the Absolutes in my eyes. Otherwise, make a list and see what you can find for the best prices available. Maybe someday, you can sell off the paperbacks and switch to HC if you love the stories enough

don't listen to >>106425349 too much, taste is too subjective to just go with 'essential' books. Do you read comics online? Then get your favorites, get ones you think you will reread. If you are just getting into comics and trying to figure out what your favorites are, read storytimes on /co/, use your library, or go to your LCS and see if they have a bargain bin to try stuff out from (most of my favorite comics I found through the library/bargain bins).

The stuff I mentioned was hardly expensive since those all come in the form of TPBs. Also, it's obvious that he can look up the books digitally first if he wants to. Still, I see most of the DC, Dark Horse, Vertigo etc. books I mentioned on virtually every shelf here so I doubt he will find those mediocre. All of those are a nice foundation because after reading those, he will know what he likes and what he doesn't like since the books are diverse enough in writing and art styles

You COULD skip to Batman/Hush and/or Under the Red Hood. There's more than enough context clues and recaps given to follow along what is going on.

The Knightfall comic itself I'm no expert on. The old trades I own go vol1 bane breaks Batman vol2 azbat becomes a thing and beats bane vol3 huge skip to end of azbat era where Batman is back to stop azbat. I can't comment if the actual azbat stories are any good. As those parts themselves the introduction of Bane in vol1 is really good, Azbat is okay nothing amazing.

No Man's Land is good too, but like previously mentioned you don't NEED to read it just to get to Red Hood stuff.
Hell if you just wanna read N52 onward Red Hood stuff none of this is needed.

You actually flipped out right now because you were asked to elaborate on the titles you just listed and you basically said "don't question, just do as we say".

Yes, he could search the titles there but here, it comes from someone who knows these threads. Also, the guy asked in this thread so might as well give him a basic list. I'm sure he is smart enough to make his own decisions based on that

I do understand why you would be critical about simplistic discussions such as "this is good", "thx" but I will never be ashamed of trying to provide anons seeking recs with a list that I'm typing out on my phone. Would I have gone into detail had I been on a computer? Most definitely. Should I feel bad for trying to give input on a basic list? No

I "flipped out" because people are criticising me without explaining why the titles on the list are bad. I don't have anything against people not liking the titles but at least take the time to explain why. These threads are meant for discussing things so might as well elaborate on titles you don't like. It's just that "don't be a hivemind" comes off as very spiteful and disrespectful in my eyes

The fact that you still think you've been blasted over the titles being bad signals that you have communication issues. It's the lack of effort you put into your post as you just vomited out some some names that show up in 90% of rec lists on the vast internet that you got blasted for.
>These threads are meant for discussing things
So discuss things.
But people make mistakes, if you understand the fact that next time you should wait until you're at your pc instead of mindlessly listing off titles and telling a complete stranger he has to like them, then it's all good.

Miracleman isn't Marvel you retard. Read any Daredevil run because the character is that based. Infinity Saga by Starlin, Warlock, Death of Captain Marvel, the modern cosmic saga by DnA that started with Annihilation all the way to Thanos Imperative, all of Epic, Fraction/Aja Hawkguy, Lee/Ditko Dr. Strange followed by Stern and Englehart runs and current Waid run, PAD Hulk, Immortal Hulk, Ultimates, Loki Agent of Asgard, anything by Ewing basically, anything by Jonathan Hickman, Superior Foes, Claremont Uncanny X-Men, Fantastic Four by Lee/Kirby and Byrne and Waid, Alias, Marvels, GWW's Ms. Marvel and so many more. Fix your fucking life.

>it comes from someone who knows these threads
There's an air of superiority to this sentence, it's his response to "he can look at the pictures posted in these threads himself was "but I know better."
But I really don't wanna get into this usual /co/ dance where you take things out of context and move the goal posts, you think saying "but he never claimed to be an expert" is somehow a good argument despite the discussion at hand being about how he just robotically listed some titles instead of having an actual discussion with the guy.
I don't know why I bother though, I see another riveting "discussion" right now with mindless listing expect it's far more surreal since it's basically

Why don't you admit that you're the only one here who's angry with someone saying that they know what people like to buy. Just because you think that the titles are robotically listed doesn't mean that a majority of people don't have most of those books in their collections and that I was ever stating to be an expert when it comes to comics in general. Get a grip. The only thing I agree on with you is people calling others retards when someone doesn't like something they do.

But you don't. Everyone here is a stranger, all you did was look through the pictures and listed stuff from them, something that he could have done on his own. Why do I have to repeat myself? Are you this dense? Here's a novel concept, recommend things that YOU like instead of stuff you've seen in a lot of pictures. And recommend by talking about them. And don't throw so many titles at a person that's just starting out.

Kek, the only retard in this thread seems to be you. You're the one who is shitting up the thread because, get this, you don't like it when people make essential lists of comicbooks, especially when they don't give reasons behind why they would recommend the titles. You can't make this shit up.
You sound just like one of those smug gatekeeping assholes who give comicbook readers a bad name. Even if the guy had recommended Bendis Superman, you could have just politely explained why the run is bad. Instead, you chose to be a mean, contrarian dick with a superiority complex who just has to give his two cents on every subject. You wrote something about total strangers but face it, you're the one being a vile and nasty human being to tital strangers just because you can.

And many libraries have gotten enough sense to divide their comic sections into kids/teens/adults so look around it may have three sections worth of comics to browse.
I remember one of my local libraries did that, but knew nothing about the books contents. Which lead to Mouse Guard being in the adult section and I Kill Giants in the kids of all ages section.

Thanks fellas but yeah they're both just 'greatest hits' collections as opposed to thorough reprints of the entire Epic line (which amounts to over 1000pgs across its 20 deluxe format issues and 2 annuals).

Even the Checkers three-volume collection only collects maybe half that content. And apparently the BOOM ones split up multi-part stories across its two volumes, for whatever fucking reason

Other anon here. I meant the concept art itself is hard to find. There are a ton of concept sketches or renders involved in games that don't always make into extra content galleries in game. Instead of googling stuff and saving a compressed image, or a bunch of files, you can just have the book. With Bayo again, a decent amount of design concepts and shit are in the art books, but not in the galleries, including stuff made after the game came out

personally I didn’t like it. The problem for me is that it was just a rapidfire joke after joke after joke, which is a problem if you don’t find the jokes funny. Now, if I found the jokes funny this would probably be my favourite comic ever. But a comedy that you don’t find funny is just a worthless. This is all just my opinion of course and comedy is completely subjective

In your opinion, what is the single best Epic collection to buy, given the choice of the entire line priced at roughly $20 each?

I'd prefer one that's not silver age, as I've read the entirety of that era by Marvel. Ideally the issues should be something that I wouldn't be able to buy more affordably in back issue bins or in lots off of eBay.

hellboy LEs are about as nice as a comic can get. big pages, quality paper, nice texture hardcover
the extra money is absolute worth it imo. not to mention they'll be valued a lot more when they're out of print
even if there's a future special edition of hellboy i doubt it'll be the same as the LEs. it'll probably be a boxset with normal sized hardcovers or something

I've had vol. 1 for eight or so years, and just recently got 2. The old one definitely lightened to more of a gray. Some of that time was spent living with a mother who smoked and not necessarily keeping my shelfs out of the sun, however. I've seen plenty of them on shelves here that look brand new black.

Brick book stores all sell books for the price labled on them. Even Amazon sells it for that price and fiddles with discount. the printed price is the standard price, places can discount from that to whatever they want.

Probably shit preorders, or new directives are making them think "more omnis, feweer individual releases".
Shit preorders because it's hard to sell a time-skip-rendered-non-canon-by-retroboot.
Giffen was on it for what, forty issues + a few annuals? That could be a single large omnibus.
Either way, time to collect what singles I can find in bins

the first one has lots of extras, Gaiman's origional pitch, his first arc story, and ideas he had for what to do with the long story on it. It also has the full script for the Midsummer Nights Dream story. They all have loads of extra covers as well, Death has a shit ton of artists fanart.

Wanted to get a few Cartoon Network classics.

So that's the Australian Powerpuff Girls collection, the UK DVD of the movie and the American Home Movies collection.

I'm happy it's the newer smaller case for Powerpuff Girls, I originally bought a used copy of the original large box set but then saw Madman had a slimmer pack with a special 20th anniversary sleeve from a year ago, luckily ended up getting that one new, just the top is cracked but I don't care, I'm not going to return something to New Zealand and wait for the replacement.

Now reading Waid's Daredevil since I got it last week or so. Only read the first 3 issues but I thought they were great. I'm lookin forward to reading more of it and seeing how it progresses. The mannequin with Mike Murdock's hat and shadesin one panel was a nice touch, as a sidenote.

I've read for years and I'm a terribly slow reader. I don't know if that necessarily gets better with practice.
I think it's mostly an attention span issue though. If I read fast my mind wanders and I realize I reached the end of a page while thinking about something else completely.

I for one don't like speedreading books because I feel like I'm not enjoying the art enough that way. I can get through a 600 page book within two days but with comics, it's different. Sometimes, I also like to imagine characters dramatically speaking like in a movie so it might take more time to read than if I were to speed through it. Most people have the ability to speedread but indulging the moment and speedreading aren't compatible with one another

Read a little weird to me. No problem.
If I'm actively involved in an activity it's usually fine. Games for the most part are fine, and reading for me is most effective if I'm attributing a voice to all of the dialogue and reading it at speaking pace. If I'm watching a movie or a TV show my mind will wander, though, and even sometimes during discussions if two other people start talking directly to each other and I'm not immediately involved. As far as comprehension and learning I'm fine. I'm actually a pretty quick learner, but I read at a snail's pace.
