We have all kinds of threads like this over the rest of the forum; so I figured that we should have them in Comic Book Talk too. They might be fun, and spur some additional conversations.

I just received my second order from InStockTrades. One of the titles inside should be Crisis on Multiple Earths: The Team-Ups vol 2. My current reading project is to go thru selected DC history from the Silver Age to the new 52, hitting all of the major events and crossovers.

Today, I got the Killer volume 4 in the mail, as well as Mark Schultz' Xenozoic, which came courtesy of Kickstarter.

The last thing I actually purchased (as opposed to having a preorder delivered) was probably an Amazon order a few weeks ago when I bought the third TPB of Wasteland by Antony Johnston and Christopher Mitten.

Even being inside of Colonial Williamsburg can't stop me.

Stephen King's The Stand: American Nightmares on clearance for $6 at the William & Mary college bookstore.

He man and the masters of the universe vol 01
batman haunted knight
batman cacophony
action comics vol 01 superman men of steel
spawn origins vol 14

Never much of a Wonder Man fan but couldn't resist this price.

1 $2.16 FN Wonder Man My Fair Super Hero TPB (2007) 1-1ST FN

Just picked up Echo: The Complete Edition and the latest printing of Eyes of the Cat by Jodorowsky and Moebius.

My copy of Chrono Mechanics by Art Thibert showed up today. Technically, I bought it months ago when the Kickstarter campaign was running, so if that doesn't count, then the answer would be the DC's Shade miniseries and volume 1 of Sandman Mystery Theater, both a direct result of my readthrough of the Starman Omnibuses.

bought Preacher volume 2 today as i really enjoyed what i read so far

Saga Volume 2 by Brian K. Vaughn.

It's been a while since I picked up anything new but the last ones I got probably in May or so were:

Batman: Knightfall Volume Two: Knightquest
Batman: Knightfall Volume Three: KnightsEnd
Gotham Central: Volume One: In the Line of Duty

I have on pre-order:
Batman: The New 52 Volume Three: Death of the Family
The Joker: The New 52: Death of the Family

Went to another comic store yesterday and grabbed:

Arkham Asylum (15th anniversary edition with script included)
Dead Boy Detectives
Diosamante (A Jodorowsky comic)
Pandora's Eyes (Milo Manara)

Strangers In Paradise omnibus. Two giant ass volumes in a cool case.

I'm avoiding this thread because my backlog is too overwhelming to start memorializing my additional purchases.

Just received a misc comic lot from ebay that included a very hodgepodge collection of new books, old 12 cent books, promo items, and trades. It was cool to finally get this:

Made a good sized order to fill in some gaps and try a couple new things:

Ex Machina: Fact V. Fiction
Hellboy: The Storm and the Fury
Life and Times of Savior 28 (blind buy for ~$3)
Thief of Thieves V 1
Finder (blind buy for ~$3)
Super Dinosaur V 2 and 3
and finally, Invincible 18: Death of Everyone

^ ~$3? Where pray tell?

used at half.com, listed as new/like new though and came that way save for a little damage from shipping on one other title. If you can find a seller with several titles you want at Half you can put together some decent orders, but I do find their interface slow and it's a crap-shoot to find someone with a lot you may want (it can be dangerous though too, I pared down my order that had gotten up to close to $100 with stuff just because it was cheap).

I just went a little crazy and bought two huge DC trade lots on ebay. 42 books from the last decade for less than $200. Some Countdown and 52 and various Crisis stuff, lots of JSA and JLA, some Hawkgirl and Flash and Human Target, even a bit of Vertigo.

Hush, which might be the most overrated book in a long time. But maybe I have grown Jim Lee's art (which I used to love when I was 12).

I'm a sucker for Omnibuses...

I just got this one:
(Mighty Thor volume 2)


Probably some of the best, most creative work Kirby has ever done, which is saying something.


And this:



Still the best iteration and storyline Iron Man's ever had.

I love that Iron Man omnibus. I'm very much looking forward to the Epic Edition that picks up where it left off with the start of Denny O'Neil's and Luke McDonell's run. But pretty much from the start of the first Michelinie/Layton run, through the O'Neil/McDonnell run, on to the second Michelinie/Layton run, that's a solid stretch of more than 100 issues that are just stellar.

Meanwhile, I wandered into a used bookstore today and wandered out with these:

Tales of the Batman: Gene Colan

Just opened up an ebay win of three B&W collections of 70s goodness!

Finally opened my last instocktrades order.

Had to buy the stupid overpriced Carnage book because it has some Micronaut appearances. Looking forward to reading the massive Elephantmen book which was quadruple the page-count and half the price.
