I don't try to be the one who starts these threads, I just get the impulse on a Monday morning...

Anyway. http://www.diamondcomics.com/shipping/shipping_112206.txt is the list.

For me:
52 WEEK #29--will there be a backup? Only the JSA's hairdresser knows for sure!
SHOWCASE PRESENTS THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER VOL. 1--probably most fun in small doses
SUPERGIRL AND THE LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES #24--the mystery neither deepens nor, uh, gets shallower, I bet
Y THE LAST MAN VOL. 8 KIMONO DRAGONS--I admit, I'm basically reading it in trades
DAREDEVIL #91--oh perfidious one!
ESSENTIAL CAPTAIN AMERICA VOL. 3--beginning the Englehart run that I've always wanted to read in more than fragments
NEW X-MEN OMNIBUS HC--all the Morrison issues in one convenient volume for only a hundred bux (psst. it's $62.99 on Amazon)
BIG QUESTIONS #9--somehow I managed to not get this at SPX--I really like this series

how about you?

Hola Doug!

Aargh jinx0r!

Doug's has the proper list!

That New X-Men collection is ten bucks more than the three hardcovers put together, and going by Marvel's usual production standards will lose a good centimetre of bleed in the spine.

I'm cracking a bone for the Harvey Kurtzman Comics Journal Library thing (though I have his 1981ish interview issue and his obit one so who knows how much is new), Moomin finally (though probably next week) and Comic Art #8 with the Seth book finally came in.

My impression is that the NXM omnibus misses 30 pages of text from the hardcovers. Is that right?

― ASDF (ASDFASDF), Monday, 20 November 2006 23:02 (nineteen years ago)

if so, it'll be the TOTALLY TOTALLY dispensible crap like "censored" excerpts of Morrison's pitch and thumbnails of the pencils for a sequence in the book and pin-ups and such

― occasional mongrel (kit brash), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 02:49 (nineteen years ago)

Why do they have censored excerpts from the pitch in the hardback when the whole thing is in the first paperback?

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 08:51 (nineteen years ago)

the paperback had even more bits redacted than the hardback does!

I might be poorly remembering it as handwritten.
