The new TPB/HC thread

Just got mine yesterday! :rockon:

I hope Bass reads it, because it is exactly the kind of thing he would like.

Everyone in the world should always be reading Axe Cop.

thee great one said:
I forgot TCB store even existed. I feel like a terrible human being.

How dare you.
 
TOG and I were talking about TPB collections on Twitter and he asked how I had mine stored...here's my setup. Before we moved into this house my collection was a mess.I had them in boxes and totes, and only the ones I cared to access regularly were on (very crappy and dangerously poor quality) shelves. Once we moved and had more space I was able to get 3 pretty solid shelves ($70 each I think) to store them. I actually need another one now - hopefully the store we got them from still has them. Excuse the mess...the basement is finished and functions as a huge play area for the kids and it's an absolute pig sty right now. Also, some of the pictures aren't great because I didn't realize I had the lights too low...

trades1.jpg


^ This is the whole thing in one pic. As you can tell I don't really have them in a specific order. Mostly I just arrange them to keep like series together.

trades2.jpg


^ Complete Y: The Last Man, the Star Wars 30th Anniversary series, Hellboy Library Editions, Morrison Batman, Complete Swamp Thing, and most of my Spider-Man books.

trades3.jpg


^ All of my Marvel Omnibus volumes, New Avengers, Punisher MAX, and other various Marvel stuff.

trades4.jpg


^ The DC shelves: All of my Absolute volumes, Green Lantern, Gotham Central, 7 Soldiers, etc. Also Walking Dead, Ultimate Marvel, and the Complete Calvin & Hobbes and Far Side editions there on the bottom.
 
That's awesome.

That is really annoying how the logos on the Ultimate comics don't line up. I was debating getting it all in HC or the Omnibuses.

I still never read Sin City. You have a lot of the books that I need. I will post pictures when I get more of my collection finished. I have sold a lot of my trades to make the switch to Hardcover.

Yeah, it really is. And how the Fantastic Four Omnibus spine is different. And how The Miller Daredevil Omnibus 2 is the collector's edition cover. And how the paper used on the Swamp Thing Vol 1 HC is different from the rest. I hate when they don't keep things consistent.

I've thought about switching my Ultimate books to hardcovers. If they are going to start releasing Omnibus editions I might do that.

I wonder how that would work on X-Men & FF though, because it seems like they generally avoid combining writers in the Omnibus editions.

I think they went back to print with Sin City fairly recently...

I just got Absolute Promethea Vol 3 the other day but haven't put it on the shelf yet.
 
By the way, if you look at the topmost photo you can see the bottom of Alex Ross Captain America poster on the top of the middle shelf. Next to that is my Miracleman collection (regular issues).
 
I still never read Sin City.

It might be too hard to see, but notice how my Sin City collection is arranged in reverse order so that the suggestive spine collage isn't displayed, since this is all in the kids' play area. I'd really like a huge Omnibus edition of Sin City. Maybe they'll do one when the next movie comes out.

That's an attractive collection, E!

Thanks. I purged a bunch of stuff a while back including all of my New Avengers Premiere Hardcovers. Recently I added the latest (4th?) Fables Hardcover and the new Batman & Son hardcover.
