This is my smallest CED order yet. Not too much of interest but still hitting over $400. Has opening up pre orders with CED helped the shop out? Because I love it.
It has changed a lot around here that's for sure! That week when orders arrives is a MONSTER but we love the change of work patterns for sure. Madhouse one week a month, beach vacation the rest!
Duude, @Remy you've got cool looking tatts! @James Marvel did bring out/approve the Deadpool and Wolverine movie art book lmao so only 99% forgot to forward plan? xD I got the Kingdom Come compact cause I know its like a really cool/well regarded elseworld (?) story but I haven't actually read it yet and I don't have the shelf space for a bunch of trades or an omnibus of something that I haven't read and might not 100% like (the premise does sound cool though) whereas the compact, if I don't like I can tuck away in a desk drawer or give to a younger sibling. Keen asf for the Magic Order Library Edition - looooved the premise and the weird wacky magic that they used in that universe. Especially very first initial Issue #1 (I think) where they long distance weaponise a room to kill someone. On the fence with Asterix as its only 72 pages. I prefer hardcovers with more bang for buck. I agree with Remy in that whilst there was a bunch on offer via Comic Direct. It did feel "smaller" compared to other months. Personal question @both of you - have either of you been interested/ordered any of the Dstlry comics/ collected editions? What is your opinion on their (to me at least) model of FOMO with the number of different versions of hardcover that they seem to be doing e.g: - A "basic" hardcover (purely collecting the #1-#4 issues and nothing else), - A direct market Hardcover (all the same issues as the basic with some extra goodies, different cover and a tip in sheet), - A deluxe Hardcover (same extra goodies as direct market + even more extra interior, backmatter and cover gallery pages?, a signed tip in plate, and a different "Deluxe" cover) and then also a special hardcover of the Issue #1 (inks plus commentary and extra notes from writer/ artist?) of any run once its completed (so far)?
Okay! So! we both LOVE Dstrly.... and now that we have some of their books in stock we both feel the same. Way Way WAY too expensive for that they are. collecting 3 issues for USD30?.... They better be great books.... but they aren't . The paper quality isn't great and very little extras. They want their products to be a premium service but it is only holding readers back.
I’m just put an order with you guys thanks I use kings comics for my comics now but that has changed your pre orders are so much cheaper so from November on you have me on board well done guys
"If you didn't read Asterix as a kid, you didn't grow up." It's true. I'll be picking up Emma Ríos’s Anzuelo. I loved her work on Pretty Deadly. She's been working on this one for a while (it's a 300 page graphic novel), so I've got high hopes.
Do androids dream of electric sheep also has its own graphic novel adaptation! I've fallen down the rabbit hole of collecting the Batman and Scooby doo mysteries volumes now, so ordered vol 5. Also milk run sounded weird enough that I had to give it a try
James' best pick = Stormwatch: Road to the Authority Remy's best pick = Bowling with Corpses and Other Strange Tales from Lands Unknown Not sure if you're trade waiting but you missed out on Daniel Warren Johnson/Riley Rossmo's The Moon Is Following Us (up to #3, and Absolute Batman also features a DWJ variant this month) and James Harren's Ultramega (at #7).
Black Canary Best Of The Best mini-series is a new addition to my list alongside the Cass Cain Batgirl & the Renee Montoya Question series. More enthused for the solo character stories + Lady Shiva fights than the writer who hasn't wowed me with anything of his i've read so far, but looks promising. Hope Dinah & Cass's solo series doesn't get them rotated out of the Birds of Prey main line-up. Also picking up BOOM Studios sci-fi neo-noir thriller series Vicarious purely because of the art.
oh speaking of Aussie-creator books: I read Fairsquare Graphics Tunis To Sydney recently which released in late July. A truly indie comics & the first time Fairsquare Graphics has entered my radar, but a really moving story with good art and some truly flawed protagonists.
I was so tempted to buy Halos and Horns, but at the very last minute, I took it out, I'm still considering grabbing it, but I really don't want to commit to another ongoing title. I already collected about 10 ongoing more if you count Alien and Predators comics. happy to grab the odd mini-series, but just can't keep stacking on new ongoing every month which is sad. Maybe I should just come work at Comic Etc I'm sure you said in one of your past videos that all you do all day is sit behind the desk and read comics. :D
Into the Unbeing was NOT on my radar at all (my independent publisher preference is everything BOOM Studios, dotted with some Image normally), i'm very curious considering i work in the climate science space (different focus, but tangential connection), so this vid was especially useful. Also big thanks getting the Luciano Vecchio variant cover for Uncanny X-Men sorted, been a massive fan of the artist since his Marvel Infinity Comics Iceman run, which i hope gets a full trade release someday (#1 of 4 was published in the Marvel Pride X-Men Wedding Special this year).
Cult of the Lamb! 🐑 Also very interested in Into the Unbeing
Thank you for covering your knees
My pleasure!

Conjunctivitis is an after-effect from reading Archie comics. Take care.
I did just finish afterlife with Archie....

Welcome to the fold! Hope you survive the experience!
Ghostmachine Universe looks interesting.
So far it haas been incredible.
Cheers fellas 👍🔥🤘☠🤘
Our pleasure!
Titanic fun facts!
I have a BOATload of them!

Her work on Pretty Deadly is one my my faves EVER! LOVED that book
Placed my first order last month and was waiting for this video before finalising this month's order (just in case you had something to tempt me with)
Welcome! You chose well last month with Fugitive!
@@comicsetc5788 That found its way into my cart after your video last month
Do androids dream of electric sheep also has its own graphic novel adaptation!

I remember those! Very early Boom publishing books if I remember correctly.
James' best pick = Stormwatch: Road to the Authority
Remy's best pick = Bowling with Corpses and Other Strange Tales from Lands Unknown
Not sure if you're trade waiting but you missed out on Daniel Warren Johnson/Riley Rossmo's The Moon Is Following Us (up to #3, and Absolute Batman also features a DWJ variant this month) and James Harren's Ultramega (at #7).
Trade waiting! It was one of the titles I was referring too that I am waiting on the collections to get!
Yeah!!!
Yaz!

I DID have Black Canary in my cart till the last minute... can't remember why I took it out though? Odd.
@@comicsetc5788 Sometimes cuts have to be made to make the budget sadly.

I'm sure you said in one of your past videos that all you do all day is sit behind the desk and read comics. :D
I think that's another reason why I against Ghost Machine having different writers. The line is big enough. More volume isn't ideal......

They will print it! Money is too be made!
You guys need to try more manga!
Kagurabachi is kind of like the next big one!
Remy really has to help me get on board. I keep hinting at Manga for a book club....
Recap: Marvel are terrible and DC is the best. Gotcha. 😂
Well.. I guess... you see... Shit... You got us this month...
@@comicsetc5788 🤣 but great video again, Lads. Look forward to each time. (Liked and commented for that dude Al Gorithm)
