I appreciate the compliment, I'll make sure to keep sharing great comics!

I really appreciate you checking it out! Indie and lesser known comics are defiitely what I focus on since there are so many other great channels talking about stories from the big 2 and also because that's what I personally like to read. Any indie titles you've been loving this year?

@@bunkmastab i just started reading "Outer Darkness", artwork by afu chan is vibrant and aesthetically unique. And I recently finishe Elecboy by Jacquen Salaun, stylistically polished and beatiful artwork, although the story could have been fleshed out more. got a few interesting recommendations from watching your vids, so I'll be set for quite reading for the holidays. Looking forward to your next upload.

@@alih611 Both of those look great! I didn't know either of them but just looked them up. I like John Layman, the writer on Outer Darkness, and I don't read enough European comics so Elecboy seems like an awesome way to change that. Thank you for sharing those!

Schmalke teamed up with CEX after self-publishing the first run, you should be able to get it from your comic shop. The Year 1 Progress Report reprints the 4 issues that make up the first year and it's only $10!

BPVQ is definitely a fever trip of a book and I totally get what you mean about the art being hard to follow at times. I kind of liked the utter chaos of the story and the shifting art style but that's for sure a book that won't land for some people.

This man right here is the only reason I know the name Joseph Schmalke at all. I'm having a lot of fun with 7 Years. The story, while nothing mind blowing, is really fun and the whole series is just Schmalke doing stuff he likes. It's worth tracking down the Year 1 Progress Report, all 4 issues of the first year for just $10. Definitely worth it

Long live comics! My manga reading has slowed down a ton since high school, but back in the day I used to read more manga/manhwa than American comics, used to love going through the stacks of new Tokyopop releases. I haven't read the new Charles Burns release but it's definitely on my list!

@@bunkmastab Ah it's probably only a phase brother. Maybe you need to read more Seinens! Which is like reading Adult Oriented Literature but Manga form. I do highly suggest you eventually make your way to reading CIGUATERA since it deals with so many emotions from our everyday lives while still containing slices of extraordinary events in conjunction with that of the mundane ordinary.

I thought I was going up wait for the Hardcover, then I saw that Evan Cagle art on the cover art my local comic shop and decided I couldn't wait. I can't wait for the New Gods book to come out in about 2 weeks!

Thanks for checking this out! Glad to see you checked out Death Ratio'd, even though though Mark Russell is a big name I feel like his AWA stuff tends to get overlooked. Death Ratio'd and Not All Robots were two of the comic series I've laughed hardest at

Thank you! I finally upgraded to a new laptop that should help with the editing process and get videos out a little sooner than 100 days. Appreciate the kind words, there are so many great comics out there!

@@fireboy312002 Can you imagine if I made a video about books people had actually heard of? People might actually watch and what's the fun of that?

@bunkmastab i honestly enjoy yours since I never really know what to expect. That Supergirl team book and Ice cream man where the only ones I heard about

This might be my favorite comment I've ever received.

I agree, bunk needs to take lessons from you on how to be a real man! Can you please offer him some advice?

Have you read Dark Knight Strikes Again by Frank Miller? I highly recommend it

I would love to check out the new Absolute titles ... but my LCS has been selling out before I even get there. Heck, for Absolute Supes they only had enough to cover people subbed to the series beforehand. I'll be checking them out in trade for sure

Thanks for checking it out! Bear Pirate Viking Queen is the kind of book you could read in perfect health and wonder if you weren't actually in the midst of a fever. That one's such a trip

That would truly be the Darkest of all worlds. Hope you and Mrs Nerdy had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

It could have used a few more issues, but I actually liked the way it ended. It definitely sort of peters out, which is surprising for a book that had been so big and bombastic before that but I think it kind of comes to a satisfying conclusion. As always, I appreciate you checking out the video, I feel like we have very overlapping comic tastes.

Man, how are you everywhere?!

@ 💪💪

Man, Dominick dropping by to flex in the comments. These are the things I'm thankful for this year

@ you’re the man 💪

It's a beautiful book for sure, give in to the marketing emails!

As you probably saw, it's not but I got a subscription to GlobalComix specifically to read all the Mad Cave titles. If this video had come out later, I'd definitely include Spectrum by Mad Cave, only one issue so far but that book is wild!

I am pretty consistent about filming new videos. I am very inconsistent and very bad about editing the videos I have filmed

I'm thankful to have both the Brave and the Bold Boys in my life

Too mind, Labrewskiii! Hope you're having a good weekend curled up with some great comics

David from Organic Priced Books said that, too! I'm never going to be mad to be compared to the definitive voice of Batman

I'm happy you did! Can't believe it's almost time to put out another one of these

@@MattHouck-x7v Absolutely! Those Ollie's deals are too good to keep secret

@@resistancepublishing I love hearing that. I've got a few of Netho's pages from Punisher, Vanish, and now this and really love his style. Awesome to hear that both he and his wife are cool people

@ yea, they are. He’s always up to doing commissions if he’s not busy

@@LiteratureInPictures These pages are so hot, my camera's got to wear shades. And also flood lights

@ 😎

Thanks for checking this out! Everything I've heard about Artist Bullpen has been really positive, which you absolutely want to hear coming out of the fiasco of the last days of Cadence. And if you're looking for some Lonergan from a story you may not have a connection to, Sam from Artist Bullpen says that he's in the process of scanning in the Arca pages and should be putting them up soon

Good thing no one looks at the comments on my art unboxing videos or this would be a bad look ... for you. Especially since you do an awful lot of losing ...

👀

I spent WAY too long going through Jesse's available pieces on the Artist Bullpen after you alerted me to that. Even after I placed the order I wasn't completely sure I picked correctly ... until I saw it in person. That was everything I want in a page, even if it didn't have the classic Lonergan circles, just the tension circles

Extremity is probably my least favorite of DWJ's solo work but there's some beautiful art direction with the series that owes a lot to Nausica. I'm such a mark for DWJ that I'll probably be backing any campaigns for these in the future

Right?! I knew on some level what I was getting when I backed the Kickstarter, but until I actually had it and got to flip through, I didn't really know. Such a great book

I'm pretty sure it's not Gwyneth Paltrow's head . . . Mostly sure. At least 50/0

Reading digitally is almost a cheat code, you get the best of both worlds. You can see the art at the prefect size for general reading and also blow it up to appreciate it at the largest size

@@bunkmastab yeah especially on 14.6 screen lying down on bed

I'm blushing... except now I'm just mad everyone else isn't calling out how beautiful I am

It's so gorgeous. I don't quite know where it's going to live but it's such a beautiful boy and I just want to snuggle it

Thank you so much! Extremity just came out with both an Oversized Hardcover (OHC) edition as well as a Signature Edition that has a reprint of the art at the original printing size. Either one is a great addition to any library

YESSSSSSSSS. Cheap omnis are the cheat code

With such great prices and a pretty great selection (as long as you're willing to wait), Ollie's resets the market on collected editions

The main Discord I use is the Near Mint Condition, but that's only accessible for Patreon members. For free Discords that track Ollie's, the Comics Are Dope server has been really good

DAYDAYYYYYYYYYYTYYTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! That's kind of the Ollie's conundrum. You see the crazy deals and feel like you need it. Then 6 months later you realize you're never going to realize the stuff you bought

Those are some incredible choices and there's some real overlap for favorite/best stories (I read Mr. Miracle when my wife was pregnant with our first child and it's still my favorite book, not just comic book, about new parenthood) but they don't quite land as most important for me. Some absolute bangers on this list, though!

Nice grabs! Mine didn't get any of the Adamantium/Vibranium big books or the Kirby is Fantastic that I saw some other shops got. We're also usually at least a week behind what I see pop up at other shops, so I think mine probably miss a fair amount, I just try to stay happy about the stuff we do get

@@bunkmastab I'd be interested in hearing more about the discord you are in that spreads the news of what's available at different ollies locations.

@@cosmiccraziness6357 the main one I use to track Ollie's items is the Near Mint Condition one, but that's a perk of being part of the Patreon. For free servers, I like the Comics Are Dope Discord from BJ Kicks, not as active but still good for Ollie's items

I don't know what Ollie's puts in their stickers but nothing loves a goopy mess like an Ollie's sticker. That's awesome you were able to grab that Avengers Vibranium edition, I remember a few years ago people saying those were popping up, kept hoping to find that or especially the Marvels Platinum edition by Kurt Busiek and Alex Ross but no luck on either

Glad you got to join in the fun on your trip to Michigan! We went to Upstate Michigan this summer (Traverse City and Luddington) and loved it, now just need to get enough time to do some comic hunting! When I lived in Denver we had 2nd & Charles which wasn't like Ollie's but still had some great finds, not sure if they extend down to AZ but CO is closer!

​@@bunkmastab We don't have those either lol. There is a used bookstore that is fairly close by that go to on occasion. I have found some good stuff there from time to time. So it's not completely discount comic dry out here lol.

Oh yeah? Can't wait to see what those are!

Ha, it's definitely not normally like this but they've done things like this in the past. There was one day a few years back where they had stacks of $40 omnibus. The shop is Carol and John's Comic Shop in Cleveland, OH. Worth checking out if you're ever in the area!

Depends which shelf, the one on the left of the video is a Billy Bookcase from Ikea. The one on the right side is one I made myself, super heavy duty for my omnis. The color comes from the Linseed oil stain I used as a finisher.

@@bunkmastab awesome! Thank you! 😀

Those all came from an Ovani music library of music assets meant for video games. The horror themed songs (like the one playing for Beneath The Trees) are especially good

Nothing better! Makes up for all those other times you go in there and find nothing but volume 5s of random New 52 trades on series you're not trying to collect
