zergg,

HC normally collects a complete story arc. So it is worth it to get. Or for cheaper alternative, get the Runaway Digest albeit it is smaller book.

Alas, HC is the best - think of it as DVD Supremo.

Astonishing X-Men.

Hmmm. you can get it in TPBKs or HC.

IT is 24 issues run by Joss Whendon and John Cassidy.

Depends on your affinity with Joss Whendon, some rates it the best since Chris Claremont's early run though some hate it due to the lateness.

For me.. it is a good run of story. Nice dialogue and balanced artworks.

I can dispose off my 1st TPBK of Astonishing X-Men. Interested?

I collect mostly in comics form.

Astonishing X-Men Vol 1 (Gifted) TPBK for RM50-00.

Is it my imagination or is there only like 3 people conversing in the Forum Thread?

zergg, don't worry. aside from talks on what to buy, we can talk about comics and what is your collection.

Since I got the original comics, I don't collect the other TPBKs.

As in my collection, come to think about it.. maybe I got Vol 1 (Gifted) and Vol 2 (Dangerous). Both for RM100-00 interested??? I will absorb the shipping and springs in the 2 Tangent Universe comics.

Urm.. not on those titles of yours madstone.

I am just following :

1. Countdown - anyone wanna buy that whole set, I am contemplating selling it out once it is completed.
2. X-Men (Messiah Complex run)
3. Astonishing X-Men
4. Clandestine
5. Madame Mirage

The longer you are in Lowyat.Net, the more surprises it springs out.

Hehe.. to think that there is few alternative buyers in Malaysia. And I thought there is only urm. Marvel/DC/Image buyers.

Heard about Umbrella Academy but not really into buying it since my budgeting is constraints on my on-going list.

Kinokuniya FAQ
------------------

1. Option to purchase via website or at store.
2. Payable by Credit Card via online purchase.
3. Shipping surcharge is RM6-00 per order.
4. Kinokuniya is offering free shipping for orders exceed RM300-00.

I don't know whether it covers East Malaysia.

Now the thread is more alive. Yeah ! There is more people and less zombies.

For those interested in this year's Secret Invasion (Marvel), do consider the New Avengers : The Iluminati. It is the encore of the invasion.

Ultimate Spider-Man has the most consistent team of Mark Bagley and Bendis for over 100 issues run.

There are in existence of Astonishing X-Men Vol. 1 HC collecting Ast. X-Men Vol 1 & Vol 2 Tpbks. I supposed there should be Vol 2 HC to collect Issues 13-24.

As for Omnibus Ast. X-Men, I am not sure.

zergg, my young padawan... There is much for you to learn. Learn well from masters in lowyat.forum.

Or you can get Debit Card. It is a cash ready card if you don't feel comfortable to use Credit Card.

For more infos. http://www.pbebank.com/en/en_content/perso...s/visa_elt.html

That is from Public Bank. AmBank NextG and others card is available from other FI.

FYI : Not all is collected in TPBKs or HC. So that Direct Edition may still thriving.

DC Trades for 2008.

Looks like there is a lot of want to buy list for you.

Good news, Witchblade : Witch Hunt TP @ USD$4.99 or something like that.

Ahhh.. I have no experience on the Overseas Order apart from Amazon.com and that is only recently too.

The one that I buy most of my TPBKs is from Kinokuniya.

As for single issue comics is from local comic shop in Penang.

Not much help in that department, madstone.

Thinking of ordering this month end.

Comic Mart Mid-Valley?? I think it is opposite the California Fitness.

Decent collection of TPBKs and HCs.

Bwahahahaha... madstone, zio... walk with us in forum.lowyat, there is more to learn about collecting comics, tpbks and HCs.

Trust me, there is more to collect out there.

So many good artists and writers out there to really look into eg Ultra : Seven Days by Luna Brothers, The Darkstalkers, etc. Surely there are people out there giving few thoughts to Indies or not so advertised books a chance.

Oh yeah, but then again is it for the better or anything less??? Since you collect alone, you might missed out on gems. Trust me, that is why collecting at comic shops is fun where you can socialised with the other collectors and the storekeeper. BTW storekeeper read all things for free so he/she got a better picture on the comics.

Yes, I like Ultra by Luna Brothers. As for Girls, I dunno kinda mixed feelings. Anybody wanna buy my TPBKs, gonna sell it at RM35-00 each ( TP 1 & 2 ).

http://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Seven-Days-Jon...00793056&sr=1-1

FYI : Spider-Woman Origin also by Luna Brothers artwork. Supposed to be mini-series that gonna launch her solo series until Civil War & Secret Invasion crashed her solo launch.

Well I collect Ultimate X-Men because of Psylocke appearance. Haha...

Basically my core collections is X-Related, Chris Claremont, New Avengers, Mighty Avengers, and occasional HCs or TPs that I fancy or with great review.

Welcome thanezra, please stick around for a great discussion and spread your knowledge. Maybe we could post urm.. clarification or information for those who keen to know some issues or plot-lines.. Haha.

I collect Ultimates because of Joe Madureira doing Ultimates 3. Just got my Ultimates HC and Ultimates 2 HC together with Capt America Omnibus from Amazon this month.

As for X-Factor, it is noted to be good but will stretched my budget if I decided to pursue the title. Well it is by Peter David after all..

Psylocke? Hmmm. I reckoned you must be the Jim Lee's period of collector circa Uncanny X-Men # 256 - 258?? Nice artwork and you did mentioned 90's. Too bad after Chris Claremont left, Psylocke is left into abyss until now. But still hard to really make her relevant since she is now in Exiles. I wonder what can Mike Carey do with her.. What Ifs..
