April 19, 2013 12:29 pm It really is a special place. I was floored by the selection of graphic novels and the like. Usually you go into a used bookstore and the comics area is essentially non-existent, but the gang at Iliad clearly gets it. No real bargains to speak, admittedly, but the prices are definitely fair and a rarities abound. Getting out of there with money still in my wallet was indeed difficult.

March 22, 2013 3:04 pm Do it. I may have gotten the one penny offering a few weeks back, but I think it can still be had used for six or seven bucks which is a great deal considering the trade has twelve full issues in it. Forty of fifty cents per ish is a steal!

March 22, 2013 3:01 pm The newer Omega book is next on my list. I think I may have perused the first issue when it came out, but reading it now that I'm all caught up on the original seems like the way to go.

March 22, 2013 2:59 pm Agreed. I felt there was so much potential there. Omega was just showing the affects of being among the humans...and then he's shot dead. Brutal. I can imagine an alternate reality where the book got more time to develop and Omega and his young cohort were allowed to team up and figure out their origins together. Ah to dream!

March 15, 2013 3:43 pm I'm not sure I want a quadruple ad situation. But yes, throw in a couple of ads and I'd be fine with that if the comics were cheaper. If you can grow the number of people downloading he books and tell advertisers that people are downloading by the thousands, then you can sell ads at premium. Pretty simple economics.

March 15, 2013 3:39 pm I suppose that's a possibility, but I think most adults are realists and understand that the company has to make money. People are reasonable, aren't they?

March 8, 2013 7:34 pm Perhaps posting on FB, where you're not specifically selling said material, is a grey area and thus not lawsuit worthy.

March 8, 2013 1:25 pm Can't recommend reading/listening to it enough. While there are times when knowing the history of something your like can actually taint it, knowing this history actually adds to the whole comics reading experience in my opinion. Each time I hard a reference to a specific book and anecdotes about is history, I found myself jotting myself a note to pick that issue up somehow. Not going to help with pruning my collection, unfortunately.

March 8, 2013 1:22 pm The Facebook page is worth digging into. Lots of fun stuff there. I think Howe wanted to put a lot of that in the book, but there were too many rights issues with photos, letters, images, etc. But he found a way to share it all anyway! A real treat.

March 3, 2013 12:16 pm A very good thought.
