  1. I’d agree on the Taschen book comments made so far, the recent Marvel releases have just been incredible. Pricey but top quality. Silver Surfer is coming next and since I haven’t read much of the original run it’ll be great to see it all in XXL format. Another giant size book is coming in October for Hellboy; ‘Monster Size.’ It is due to contain a lot of the early stuff in super size format. I’ve slowed down on my omnibus collecting because of the space issue in my house but it’s so hard when I see the releases that keep coming! I’ve got Superman For All Seasons Absolute edition on its way next, well worth it for that Tim Sale art. Then I saw Absolute Court of Owls is getting a re release in December so going to have to put in for that one too and hope I can squeeze in another shelf somewhere….
  2. I thought this was excellent, far superior to pretty much all other shrek related sequels and spin offs. The kids loved it and the wolf was so well done, definitely pushed the limits of horror in a kids movie!
  3. Yeah I’d say that’s a good way of putting it. The build up has been full of all the nonsense we’ve read about but I now want to see what this DC plan really is.
  4. This is a great thread to pop in on. Never collected Spawn before until just now picking up those Origin Deluxe slipcase sets. I can totally see why these single issues would fly off the shelf each month, you’d collect them just as a cover gallery.
  5. It’s true, oversized books like the Taschens are amazing, but logically I know I have no where to put them! Yet when a new edition is announced I just can’t help myself…
  6. Yep, first 4 volumes are re released in time for the new 5th volume that just came out. The original 2010 release of Volume 1 in particular has been a crazy price on eBay for years. So it’s nice to pick up at normal value at last.
  7. Spawn Deluxe Slipcase volume 5 has finally released. Got it being shipped and on its way. I’ve always wanted these and was pleased to see that volume 1 - 4 has been reprinted after all these years. I also noticed the Folio Society website has a new Marvel edition out, this time of Dr.Strange. Really nice looking volume with a cool reprint of ST110. Again this series is one of those that I keep toying with. I feel like I’m having to choose between these and the Taschen Library volumes that are being released in regards to having some prestige Marvel collected editions on the shelf….
  8. Very tempted by that new Swamp Thing absolute. But it’ll have to wait as I’ve got the Taschen Fantastic Four library volume 1 on my list to get next. Those things are incredible.
  9. One is to finally get a nice single digit ASM into my collection. For some reason #7 has always been a favourite cover of mine and can be quite a good price for mid grade.
  10. I loved Cavill as Superman too and I’m disappointed to see him gone. It sounds like it could be a full reboot happening now to completely remove any prior story/baggage etc for all characters. I don’t see how they can cherry pick any of the other existing incarnations if the main guys gone. Not sure how that works with the upcoming films due for release, unless they go ahead and use the Flash movie to do the big reset and then from there it starts with the new DCU. Pretty sure it’s the last release on the current slate? It would still leave a door open just in case anyone returned down the line in a crisis type appearance. Even The Rocks Black Adam could be out there somewhere! I was hoping he’d get another chance with the character squaring up against some of the big guns.
  11. Direct yes, but have a stronger writer involved. His visuals and action choreography are excellent. Pair it with a top notch DC story and it would be amazing.
  12. I’ve got the Taschen ASM and Avengers, the £150 version, not the crazy expensive version that is even bigger with a fancier cover material. I think they’re amazing. They are giant size re prints with great paper quality and they just look incredible. I believe the FF version is due out early next year, then Cap later in 2023.
  13. Heck of a collection there, some brilliant stuff. You display your Absolutes the opposite way to me, with the slipcase facing out. Or is that just on some of them? Not that it matters of course, they look amazing both ways. Such a fantastic format.
  14. Makes you wonder if the studio want to see the upcoming Flash and Green Lantern projects do well before considering bringing the golden age versions along as part of the JSA.
  15. I think that’s what I’m most happy about with this one. My kids latched on to those Groot mini episodes so coupled with the christmas theme and they’ll be loving this.
