hey guys...
im interested in buying any comics rite now from any of u.. but im not sure which title to choose tho (lame.. blush.gif )
-well, i have a whole lot of xmen, outsider, nightwing and house of M collections. and since i have stopped collecting any of em for years-due to the overwhelmed price, obviously- i just hope i could have some good-descent price for the comics...
sorry though if i post in a wrong thread...
by the way u all, where do u guys usually buy the comics?i saw that u guys did mention about koni and BORDERS...
and i didnt know much about these 'HC' comics/graphic novels. neva owned them before...so hows the quality differ from the normal tpb?


Added on January 6, 2008, 2:06 amsorry, its me again...
by the way guys, do u think this is expansive?
i planned to buy one, and since its end year sale, a whooping 25% discount might give me some good cut-off price

1.The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Vol. 1 (Paperback)
2.The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Vol. 2 (Paperback)
3.52 from DC universe (paperback)
-not sure wther those'll be a good read,feel free to suggest/comment on these three.

and since u guys wanna buy in amazon, im thinking of tagging along as well...can i?
my list would be; HC of The Runaways vol.1,2 and 3 and probably xmen messiah complex HC+endengered species HC.

Alan Moore-lol
been immersing into his artworks since ages,especially after he won the 1997 award as a best writer, and the Lague of Exaordinary Gentlemen, ive heard about the reviews since then, but neva got a chance to grab one on my own..
well, enough said, i think im going to give The Runaways a shot-for this moment-
anybody wants to buy anything from amazon (anywhere between these two months)??
ill be having the runaways HC vol 1,2 and 3.so im hoping that we can buy togther or something~to get the free courier fees thingy~

Errr...Actually it's my HCs
IF u guys want to join my order, just let me know

and of course, have to pay the amount 1st before ordering it
i have to check with Amazon 1st about Shipping & Handling
of course, more HCs will cost more S&H  sweat.gif

no worry, I can reduce my order to 2 or 3 HCs & add couple of you guys HC in my order

FYI, zergg, i've already calculated Runaway vol 2 & 3 HC cost around RM162.00 with S&H
apply ONLY when u order both Vol 2 & 3
*
RM162.00? that would be great.
i planned to buy the first volume aswell.so, it would b a tremendous help if u could quote the price for all 3 of them (if its ok with u that is).
sorry people. i really dunno how to deal with amazon transactions.maybe later, it would be my turn to order for ya'll biggrin.gif
(~HOPEFULLY~)
so madstone, just tell me when u want me to pass over the money..

BTW, i didnt know that the more HC you order, the more S&H fees will be given..all these whiles i even got free shipping for lots and lots books that i oredered....
~well i guess its a bit atypical/or only appicable to acmamall.com...
lol tongue.gif

Amazon required S&H coz it's from US
BUT so far i've checked Runaways vol 2 & 3, others dunno yet
different HC probably different amount & S&H fee

hold on there my young padawan!  wink.gif
i'll be ordering it in april/may or most probably june
can u wait that long?

zergg,
you need a credit card to order items from Amazon
acmamall didn't require credit card kaa?
*
credit card?not really.well there are different methods of payment which includes deposit in maybank (which is wat i did).
june ar??!! wah, i got panic attack now icon_question.gif
lol..
im not sure about my level of resistance for these runaways HC.but if i relly cannot tahan dy, then ill inform u to buy straight away lor...
wei, relly tak menyusahkan isit i ask u a favour to buy for me??really feel guilty now sweat.gif

Zergg,

If u want your HC ASAP, let me know & i will check with Amazon later
which vol you want? All 3 volumes right?
Let me check with them & let u know the cost
you can pay me right away and i can order it ASAP
the thing is, i cannot send it to u right away by using different address
(this i have to check with Amazon whether they send different address or not)
let Amazon send it to me & later i post it to u
Is that sound OK with u?

eric,
IF we want to put 3 or more HCs, of course the S&H will cost more
so far, if wanna play safe better order 2 HCs at one time

normally Amazon will give special discount for 2 HCs
for example, when i checked Runaways vol 2
below it, Amazon put BUY both vol 2 & 3 for USD**.**

cheers
*
that sounds more than ok to me...just post it at ur adress.
by the way, regarding WHEN i want to buy it, i think ill get back to you later.i am busy with all my assignments and study for the exam right now so my concern with the comics has to be diverted a little bit right now. sweat.gif
-thanx again. and yes, i wanna all 3 of them (runaway).

cheers

RM247?
WOW....(im speechless)..WOW!!
i thought the price would be rm200 max.
ooo GOD, and this is somethin unpredictable..
well, i guess i have more than a month to collect enough money for this..lol
~ however, to see it as a whole, i think its quite a reasonable price though considering them as HCs (correct me if im wrong).
tongue.gif
hey madstone, i can say nothing but thanx a lot for trouble-ING you.i really am tempted to buy the runaways now (or soon... tongue.gif) and ill make sure that it will attached, for this moment, in my dream...
thanx again man...thanx a lot

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.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astonishing_X-Men

For me.. it is a good run of story.  Nice dialogue and balanced artworks.
*
with all those, any body wants to sell their series to me?

ive heard of umbrella before..and since im a bit shizoid, my focus was/is more in marvel and few of the dc comics now..
and yeah madstone-ive just finishd reading the first volume of Y the last man. oh shades, ThIS is why GOD created 'comics' tongue.gif
the whole plot was great (as for the first volume).and the art was exceptionally gorgeous-a bit 'predictable' considering the ones who were responsible to muster their talent into this masterpiece are nothing but genious tongue.gif
anyway, try to have a quick glimpse of it eric.who knows you might like it...
as for ur comic eric, i think ill go for both of the astonishings.ill be informing you ASAP though..

if u dun pick it at the reservation counter, they will return it back to the rack
AND i can take it & send it to you if u want (plus poslaju cost gonna coz a bit) wink.gif OH MY GOD!
