Glad I jumped and got the deluxed life and times and have the complete library box sets. People may also wanna grab Carl Barks vol 7 Lost in the Andes if they can cos that also has a Bombie story and will be banned as well.

Anyone know if any of the other currently out or upcoming Barks books have bannable stuff? I've been collecting the box sets so am a few volumes behind and would hate for something to suddenly be removed in the box sets/reprints like the flying farm hand was last year.

I've never had an issue with eye strain, but I've worn glasses since I was 10 or so, maybe they're already fucked.

I still like a good oversized hardcover, but reading on a tablet is just really comfy for me, I find it easier to zoom in on a panel rather than bring my face in real close. But I suppose the main advantages are space and expense. I can get a lot of comics free through piracy and if not they are often cheaper and I like to keep quite a small collection, around 2-3 Ikea Billy's worth, if I have a digital book it doesn't take up that space.

I still haven't read it myself, though I've always been somewhat interested in it despite not caring about Brubaker that much. It's a sci-fi title, which is a rarity from him. It has been pretty rarely discussed despite being his first long running series but it was not collected for over a decade except for the first arc and it was before Brubaker got hot. DC/Vertigo should have tried to cache in with his status by fully collecting it sooner.

Deadenders is solid. I found it in a used bookstore and picked it up based on Brubaker. I don't think I've seen anyone else ever bring it up though.

[Assistant]
>>136637961
>>136638059
>>136638607
I still haven't read it myself, though I've always been somewhat interested in it despite not caring about Brubaker that much. It's a sci-fi title, which is a rarity from him. It has been pretty rarely discussed despite being his first long running series but it was not collected for over a decade except for the first arc and it was before Brubaker got hot. DC/Vertigo should have tried to cache in with his status by fully collecting it sooner.

Yeah, I don't know why I picked up the series either. Deadenders is the only book I ever bought from my comic shop online. As they had the entire series trade over the issue one through four trade and the book really picks up in issue 6.

available on cheap-comics.com for €159.50. was tempted to buy it when it was "only" €125 but now I am just sitting here and waiting for a reprint. which will probably have super-thin paper and will cost €125 as well and come damaged from amazon...

Thinking about culling my trade collection but my library doesn't take donations and none of my local thrift shops want comics. Does anyone know if there is a program/system in place where I can ship my unwanted trades to soldiers serving overseas for them to gain custody of my unwanted trades ala care packages?

They used to have something like that for a few years and then after Covid they stopped doing it. Used to be in partnership with the organization "Operation Gratitude" so I guess you could try reaching out to them and see if they still take them.

You could also see if any local shops will just take them, I know some by me have dedicated stuff for kids they give out or sell on the cheap.

What's Byrne's Thing series like?

[Assistant]
>>136655470
Byrne only worked on the first 22 issues. The rest of the series (#23-36) had different writers, IIRC mainly Carlin and DeFalco.

And it fucking sucks.

Byrne hated Thing and shitted on him constantly in his 22 issue run, culminating in Johnny stealing Alicia from him and no one having the balls to call him out on it because She-Hulk was too star struck and Reed/Sue had fucked off to the suburbs.

The Carlin/DeFalco run is pure damage control but even when Byrne left, no one had the balls to undo his shit or make Johnny pay for his bullshit until DeFalco came along and revealed Johnny married a Skrull and made his life pure hell at long last.

My latest gets
Eightball is really weird so far and I like it a lot, thanks for recommending it /shelf/bros because I don't think I'd have been aware of it otherwise.
Captain Britain is decent but formulaic, though I'm still only a little ways into it. The early stuff is very much just riffing on Spider-Man and I kinda get the sense Claremont didn't care much for it. But the art is fantastic: these early issues have been reprinted here with the classic garish British comic colours and print dots and it makes it look amazing. Marvel should be doing this for all their old stuff. I've flicked through some of the later colour issues in the omni to compare and that style isn't done for those, so I wonder why they've only used it for the early issues.
I picked up Swamp Thing from the post office just now. It was wrapped in that simple plastic envelope and had come all the way from America for some reason, so I was expecting it to be banged up but when I unwrapped it, it turned out to be absolutely fine which was nice.

[Assistant]
>>136656434
I found early Captain Britain really boring, especially the b&w Black Knight stories. It only gets interesting once Alan Davis gets on the book.
