At least KINO is offering dicounted price. BORDERs don't really offers discounts as frequent as KINO.

Any new discounts / offer from Kino on selected titles???

That is a good news. Happy Collecting.

BTW X-Men : Messiah Complex HC is coming up pretty soon.

I thought it is already offered.

It happens long long time ago.

Just avoid all the previews / reviews in Newsarama / Comic Book Resources in order to be surprised. LOL.

Economics would teach you : Supply = Demand

So basically if you wanna sell them, first there must be a buyer. Then there is an agreement of the price then sales.

As for the pricing, depends on the titles though as there are different group of individual collectors. Most notable titles would be X-Men, Wolverine, Batman, Superman, Spider-Man... etc. Less known is not necessarilly bad price, just that you need a buyer.

There is Vol 1 & 2 of Runaways HC. Runaways is a great story to pick up as it got a great review.

In Kino, it is just good that the selected titles offer discounts and don't need to wait for sales promotion whereas in Borders well you just need to wait for promotion sales.

Tsk!!! Tsk !!!.. It was MJ who did it.

So basically, we would never know Peter Parker's decision.

It seems that Peter Parker is kinda dated when he married MJ.

So it is kinda hard for current younger readers to feel the character.

OMD and BND is to rectify such matters to make Peter Parker single and interesting again. For me, I am not a fan of Spider-Man, so I am in no position to really comment on it.

Would readers love Peter Parker if he and MJ is divorced ??? Would Batman be Batman if he is married?

Marvel Zombies first appeared in Ultimate Fantastic Four where Zombie Reed tricked Ultimate Reed into opening a portal to that Zombie world. Of course it is hyped that the 616 Marvel meets Ultimate Universe at that time.

Those Zombies F4 sneaked into Ultimate World and chaos ensures until it is solved.

Later Marvel Zombies series is launched.

Ultimate Fantastic Four : Crossover (#21-23) by Mark Millar and Greg Land

Reed receives contact from an older version of himself from an alternate dimension. After crossing over, Reed discovers he's been duped and that the entire world is infested with cannibalistic, zombified versions of the regular Marvel heroes, looking for their next meal on another world.

Ultimate Fantastic Four : Frightful (#30-32) by Mark Millar and Greg Land
The escape of the Frightful Four, Johhny has one week to live, and only Doctor Doom can help him.

Ultimate Fantastic Four HC 3 / Volume 5: Crossover & Volume 6: Frightful

Ultimate Fantastic Four, yes but never actually get those Marvel Zombies story. Thus, I can't comment on Marvel Zombies and don't know how it actually ends.

X-men, Messiah Complex-US-

ISBN:9780785128991 (Hard cover book)
Brubaker, Ed / Carey, Mike / Kyle, Craig / Yost, Christopher / Publisher:Marvel Enterprises Published 2008/05
Price:MYR136.37

Rejoice, Messiah CompleX is finally here.

Still it depends. If you get cheaper US Prices, you still need to pay for Shipping. Whereas in Kino/Borders, you are paying premium prices minus shipping. You can't claim shipping in Tax Return. Just for those seeking RM 1K Tax Rebate to ponder about.

Unless you got substantial discounts from Amazon.com for titles like Capt America Omnibus or something costs more.

Hehe.. I usually purchased the TPBKs / HCs from Kinokuniya or Amazon.com since both list their titles online and easier to check out their availability plus their customer service is way excellent. Got direct experience with Kino on missing pages in New Avengers HC and they handle it efficiently.

For those following Secret Invasion - must get New Avengers / Mighty Avengers / Avengers Initiative.

Ghost Omnibus Volume 1 features over 300 story pages of one of Dark Horse's signature and most compelling characters. A complex tangle of mystery, vengeance, eroticism, and absolution, Ghost pushes the definition of "hero" to the farthest crumbling edge and includes a roster of top creative talents, including screenwriter Eric Luke and comics superstar artists Adam Hughes and Terry Dodson. If you're already dead, you might as well make the best of it. Someone brutally murdered reporter Elisa Cameron, but back from the grave as the spectral avenger Ghost, Elisa intends to find out who killed her and why . . . and grab a double dose of .45-caliber payback. But Ghost's journey to the truth follows a dark, twisted path, and the revelations she unearths may lead not to redemption, but damnation.

( Note : Adam Hughes and Terry Dodson's artworks. )
