RIP Tizoc
Tizok died?
His love for IDW was too strong for this world.
IDW has some good stuff but too expensive for me. :-(

Their trades are ridiculous. What are they now, $20 for four issues? God damn.
LOL. And people are laughing at Marvel because of their prices.

Well, Marvel prices are hilarious, too. IDW's are just moreso.
Also, I now have all issues of Wayward in my possession. Tonight, I shall begin

IDW's pricing is terrible but it's not like Marvel is all that great about it themselves. The price hike on the Elekra Omni that frye and I were talking about, for example, is just idiotic.

It's not the first time they've done it. They jacked up the price of the Alias omnibus on rerelease as well. And really, I find myself needing to own fewer and fewer Marvel "classics", these days.

Shame to cuz I really wanted to check out Samurai Jack.
Its a third reprint in a most likely really small print run, so I can see where the price comes from. Not that I would lile it

I can see where the price comes from, too. Greed.

Let's all boycott the Marvel re-releases of Daredevil and Elektra and stick it to the man.
=DiG= Valkyrie743, DaFox, =LW= Ziveli, and SpeedMeu are the protesters we deserve.

I'll see if I can find it in me to boycott this thing.

Waid is such a big Doctor Who fan, that the Justice League expy in Irredeemable has the Tenth Doctor as a member.

Yeah. Let's all not-buy things we weren't going to buy anyway!
🤔
Judge all you want. Won't change my enjoyment of my favorite books. I don't read comics to impress you motherfuckers. That's what GrandHarrier is for.
Digital wayward takes the L vs the OHC though. I was surprised. Still bought it all in the sale though.
Rachel Rising digital on the other hand is stunning.
I will buy all three reprints ¯_(ツ
_/¯Why?

The Daredevil one is fine even with the price hike. The Companion and Elektra ones are just lol though.
No, Marvel isn't great either, but they're definitely not as bad as IDW. In fact, price to page count from DC, on ANY format (trades, OHC, omnis, etc) are why I primarily go with them. They offer some of the best value in that area.
Lol read digitally. You could finish the whole series for 25 bucks
And trust me the idw version of samurai jack is awesome

Okay, wait. I got the first volume of Crossed +100 in my IST order, and it seems more Walking Dead-like than the original Crossed series. So I was looking into catching up digitally if I like it, but it seems CMX doesn't have Crossed books??? They don't have Caligula either, so I guess it's a content issue? WAT?
You were right people, secret six gets better with the suburbs issues. Not really hard given of how dubious quality the first two issues were. Still, I'm suprised at the debatable storytelling. And lol at Ken Lashley once again. Page 1-9. There should be credit exclusively for him: one third of this book presented to you by Ken Lashley !
I've just searched for Crossed and it's on both the UK and US storefronts. As is Caligula
lol too true.

Really? I couldn't find it through the app.

Certain titles don't display on the app. I think Sex Criminals is the same. Just use the site to look for stuff.
Freezasaurus

Okay, yeah. I see it now.
Also SHIT! I missed that issues of Sex Criminals. CMX, you butts.

Which app? Back when cmx could buy comics in app Apple had restrictions on what comics you could buy through them. And sexually explicit comics would get flagged by Apple. The workaround was to use their web store and then sync it afterwards. Which is now the default
I think coming home to an InStockTrades box on the porch is one of the greatest feelings. Especially when it comes two days earlier than expected.
Here is my small haul:
FINALLY getting out of the mindset that everything that I buy has to be an OHC or omnibus.
Great pickups. Aside from a single issue by Larry Hama (in full ham mode) I liked No Man's Land quite a bit.

I'm using the CMX Android App.
Can somebody help me understand the No Man's Land event a little bit? The reason I'm confused is because the contents within spread over all kinds of different series. Basically, how does it progress through the four volumes because of it containing so many series? Is it a steady story progression, or does it meander because of tie-ins?
Thanks, guys!
Thanks, guys!
Giant Days #1 was okay, i'm not sold on the characters/writing style yet, but i like what it was trying to do and am a little disappointed that it didn't click for me. I'll probably hold off buying more as i bought the first four issue trade, i'll decide on if i continue when i actually finish that and see when the next Boom sale is. Also it would have been nice if someone warned me this was a hijinks book.
