Great pick ups, but even better than the books is that awesome Thor shirt!!
Thanks I do love it!
Beautiful SS of Conan!! I just watched a whole episode about the SS of Conan and the artists. I can't remember what run they were talking about.
Thanks! I can't wait until these get a big HC...hopefully they will
$12 for a Remender Deluxe is unreal. Great stuff, Larry 👌🏻
Thanks for watching!
I agree about those too-big omnibus. At that size, readability isn't even the focus. It's about looking good on a shelf. Digital reading wins again!
I really liked Low. Greg Tocchini got a bit of a bad rap when he filled in for an arc of Uncanny X-Force back in the day, but it was just a bit jarring in context. His work on Low is a perfect fit!
Digital doesn't win! yuck I have high hopes for Low!
Nice haul Larry ,will you be making a collection update room tour video ? Looking forward to see that if you have any plans. Btw I agree what is point of peanuts in the box right, whoever found that idea should work for amazon packaging lol
Yes I should get to that tour this year.
Oh Crom .. so many pages, ugh. I'm with you, 750-900 sweet spot for omnis, 1000+ starts getting silly, DC especially love to push it too far. Page count hurumph aside, nice haul, I'm still waiting on my Micronaunts vol 3, my books so far this year are very vintage, Hulk mighty masterworks 4 and golden age classics collections of Fawcett Comics', America's Greatest Comics 3, Bulletman 4, and Doll Man 4.
That's quite a list of oldies!
Nice video Larry. Thanks for sharing your first haul of 2025; I concur with you regarding In stock Trades and appreciate you speaking your mind on the "peanuts." I grabbed the Remender's Low volume 2 from secondary market after I got volume 1 from OPB sale.😃
Thanks! I actually ordered Low v02 after IST restocked it but that was an order for this month that hasn't shipped yet.
Great pick ups. Low is on my radar, hopefully I can get it for 12 dollars too haha
Wish we had a retailer like IST over here in the UK.
Thanks Phil! IST is pretty wonderful over here!
Great haul, Larry
Thanks Deathtone!
I read Low in its entirety twice (most recently last year) but didn't care much for it either time, especially by the second half when the concept of "hope" has been referenced about a billion times. It's one of the few Rick Remender titles of which I'm not a fan.
Interesting. What made you re-read it?
@@LarrysLibrary There are 26 total issues but they ran from like 2014 to 2021. Such long gaps between issues the first time around, I was curious to see if it was simply the result of not clearly remembering previous characters and events well enough. Re-read the whole thing all at once last year but didn't change my opinion much. I'm definitely in the minority, however, as most people really like/love it. 🙂
@@JackHammer77 Gotcha....thanks for clarifying
I missed out on getting Low vol.1 for a good deal. Luckily I already read it. I’m going to wait on micronauts vol.3 to go on sale since the first two did.
It likely will!
@ I read Rom a few weeks ago and just waiting on vol.3 of micronauts to be on sale to read micronauts
@@ryanwilliams7639 I love them both so much
@@LarrysLibrary I will say that as I’ve been reading 70s and 80s marvel I’ve grown to really respect Mantlo’s writing. I feel like his writing really improved in the 80s with his hulk run. I was a big fan of his early work but I felt like you could see his writing improve during his hulk run. I actually even prefer his second Spectacular Spider-Man run over Roger Sterns Amazing Spider-Man run at that time.
@@ryanwilliams7639 Yes and what a tragic thing to happen to a writer.
I look forward to hearing your review of Low. I remember you rated Black Science and Fear Agent 9/10? Seven to Eternity not so much?
I think I might have given Seven to Eternity an 8? I liked it a lot....didn't care for the fill in artist
Nice haul. I read Low last year and loved it.
Good to hear....I haven't read any of it yet
Mind boggling price n Low!
I guess Titan doesn’t allow as deep a discount as Marvel?
Nope...but Marvel's is a little less now too since IST became a distributer (Lunar) and Diamond's monopoly went away.
12 for low is too low low. It's amazing
It really is!
I like IST but i wish they did preorders
As I understand it they also own DCBS and Tales of Wonder and they both will do pre-orders.
OMG... didn't know Low was that LOW price! Too bad I already had it :( Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching William!
I really like Low. It's a great, heartbreaking sci-fi story with awesome (sometimes almost abstract) art. Hope you like it as much as I did.
I hope so to...the art looks very different!
I didn’t enjoy Low unfortunately. The optimism thing became very tiresome
Hmmmm...I don't really know a thing about the plot or themes on this one
No ‘blank’ peanuts from IST. 😂 Your haul videos always cause FOMO!
Hah-hah! Sorry about that!
Lmao damn bro everyone crapping on OPB…
Hah-hah..I didn't name names!
@@LarrysLibrary when everyone else is, it’s kinda obvious
@@ryanwilliams7639 Heh
Honestly they deserve to be named. 😄
