:lol:

If it's any consolation, mine hates me too.

Re: Comic Book Bargains & Hot Deals
 

Knowing full well that I'm a hoarder and attempt to mentally justify binging in various sales almost weekly, I think my logic might be sound on this sale.

I really enjoy exclusives and "unique pieces of history". Owning something signed by creators I love gives me great pleasure. I've proven over my 50 years that I don't go to cons or other signing appearances all that often, maybe once a year on average at best. So grabbing somewhat cheap unique items here seemed like a good compromise.

I'll probably never get around to going to a con and meeting Mike Mignola and getting an item signed. But grab a signed sketchbook now for $30? Yes please!

I never got the chance to meet the departed Will Eisner or Joe Kubert. But grab a signed graphic novel from each for less than $50? Yes!

The problem was knowing when to stop. I initially found about 40 approximately $20 on average items from favorite creators. I cut that in third, but hopefully don't go back for another order.....

Thirded!

Fortunately/unfortunately my sketchbooks, art HC's, etc. are probably my most disorganized collection, with barely any of them written down. For once that was a positive, as I didn't want to buy a dup. of anything, and so was able to limit myself to 4 items at just under $90 w/tax (I went by in person, so no shipping [or potential shipping damage]).

Re: Comic Book Bargains & Hot Deals
 

I thought I'd share this. The deal was featured in the first issue of Marvel Comics Digest. It's worth an additional $5.97 off the subscription price for the new Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man penciled by Adam Kubert. It ultimately ends up as $22.99 for 12 issues.

Go to this website: https://subscriptions.marvel.com/parker

Then use code PETER at checkout. The ad says the code is good until December 28, 2017.

Barnes & Noble has a B2G1 on Marvel books going on until 7/18 and there's currently a coupon (code: VACATION) for 10% off $35+ and 15% off $60+ that stacks with it that expires on 7/12

Re: Comic Book Bargains & Hot Deals
 

I found a couple Trades on Amazon at 58% off apiece:

Suicide Squad (Ostrander) Volume 5 https://www.amazon.com/dp/1401262619
Unwritten Volume 11 https://www.amazon.com/dp/1401253482/

Maybe there are more, but if so I've not yet found any.

Re: Comic Book Bargains & Hot Deals
 

I just ordered that Suicide Squad volume from Instock Trades yesterday! :wacko:

Re: Comic Book Bargains & Hot Deals
 

I should have mentioned something earlier. Several older DC trades were hitting up to 60% off on Amazon during Prime Day.

Here is one like Robin Reborn from the 1990s:

https://www.amazon.com/Robin-Vol-Reb.../dp/1401258573

Lots of older, less popular trades are cheaper than ever on Amazon.

Re: Comic Book Bargains & Hot Deals
 

Barnes & Noble has their annual Buy 2 Get 1 Free sale on DC trades running until the end of July. The Marvel phase just ended I believe. It's a good sale especially if you have a membership that adds 10% off.

Many Barnes & Nobles are also handing out a few cool comic book freebies at the moment.

They are usually found on one of those small tables the chain so loves. Items include a couple of free comic book samplers and posters. There is a Spider-Man preview comic, a DC Young Animal sampler comic, and a very thick guide to DC trades I recommend. The guide includes trade timelines for most of the major DC characters.

Technically you are supposed to buy a graphic novel for the free items but I've found they don't care what you buy when taking them.

The coolest freebie is a fairly big DC poster with Tony Daniel art. It has Wonder Woman facing off against the rest of the DC universe. There is a separate promotion for free manga items, including a slick Your Name poster.

Re: Comic Book Bargains & Hot Deals
 

Thanks for the head's up, Tony Daniel is one of my favorite WW artists so I went to pick one up.

The Buy 2 Get 1 on DC stuff deal you mentioned is still going online, and you can combine it with free shipping, and there is an additional 15% off coupon that stacks for two more days (SAVEMORE) as long as you spend enough money.

In order to reach the threshold I had to get 12 books since they were so cheap, but that made the 4 lowest priced ones free since they let you do the deal as many times as you want even in one order! So long as you are not pre-ordering anything.

I really recommend doing this and the Marvel week every year, great way to get a ton of content for such a small cost even compared to Amazon Prime. If you are a big spender you could even get three $100 Omnibus editions for less than $200 to your door for example. That's like a year's worth of reading =).

Re: Comic Book Bargains & Hot Deals
 

^ One can get good deals at B&N, but don't forget that you can always get every $100 Omnibus for $50-60 at DCBS or IST.

Re: Comic Book Bargains & Hot Deals
 

I combine the DC sale with my 10% membership discount from Barnes & Noble in stores.

There is an online code right now for 15% off a $75 purchase that should stack with the online sale. It's SAVEMORE.

Re: Comic Book Bargains & Hot Deals
 

Isn't that what I was saying =)

Re: Comic Book Bargains & Hot Deals
 

Not sure what thread(s) this is best in, but wanted to make sure that fans saw it. New Humble Bundle digital book bundle is on a bunch of those x and Philosophy books, including many comic-related ones like Watchmen, Spider-man, and Iron Man. Others include Game of Thrones, Family Guy, Star Trek, Star Wars, and Walking Dead. It seems to be decently regarded series, and you can't beat the price. 6 books for $1, or 12 for $8, or all 19 for $15.

Re: Comic Book Bargains & Hot Deals
 

The Legion of Super-Heroes Silver Age omnibus is 50% off at instocktrades. Most of these newer, smaller omnibuses don't ever seem to get below this pricing.

Re: Comic Book Bargains & Hot Deals
 

And the first Monsters omnibus is down to $35!

Re: Comic Book Bargains & Hot Deals
 

Here's a real good deal if you are into Deadpool. An Amazon Marketplace seller is selling practically new copies of the Deadpool by Posehn & Duggan omnibus for $33.29 shipped. Simply buy the "like new" copies from seller bookoutlet1. They have several copies left.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/1302902288

I can confirm this deal because I ordered from them about a week ago and got my copy in today. Sealed and basically new as they listed, with the only blemish a small marker dot on the bottom marking it as a cut-out.

Re: Comic Book Bargains & Hot Deals
 

bookoutlet1 always has remainders in new condition. Their listings are on abebooks and alibris and you can usually find coupons to stack with bookoutlet1's prices.

Re: Comic Book Bargains & Hot Deals
 

Anyone have any information as to why Amazon has stopped discounting prerelease graphic novels to the extent they have in the past? Earlier in the year I got some great deals of 50% off and more. More recently, when first posted, Amazon has offered only a small discount before jacking the price up to full retail until release. Now my local comic shop's regular discount is better than Amazon pricing. What's up with that?

Re: Comic Book Bargains & Hot Deals
 

Amazon rotates their customer focus by segments fairly regularly. I guess they were tired of selling pre-orders at cost or even at a small loss. Some of those prices were clear mistakes when they put up the wrong suggested retail price.

Re: Comic Book Bargains & Hot Deals
 

Instocktrades has the Archer & Armstrong Classic Omnibus at 55% off. This was easily my favorite Valiant series from the 1990s and is some of Barry Windsor-Smith's best work.

GIFTBOOK17 saves you $5 off a $20 book order at Amazon.

There are various deals on InstockTrades for CyberMonday.

Re: Comic Book Bargains & Hot Deals
 

InStockTrades has the Marvel Universe by Chris Claremont Omnibus for 70% off at $37.50. That thing must not be selling. Granted, it's a mixed bag of nearly random comics.

Collects WAR IS HELL #9-15, BLACK GOLIATH #2-5, CAPTAIN BRITAIN (1976) #1-10, DOCTOR STRANGE (1974) #38-45, MAN-THING (1979) #4-8 and #10-11, FANTASTIC FOUR VS. X-MEN #1-4, CONTEST OF CHAMPIONS II #1-5, MEKANIX #1-6, BIG HERO 6 #1-5, and material from X-MEN UNLIMITED (1993) #36
