@thepartworkscomicsreader94882 ай бұрын
True but falling behind on the reading can mean you need to sprint at times. I've had a six month deficit in the 2000AD before that needed catching up on, recently read about a year's worth of the current Hachette DC in the space of a couple of months to get caught up. The Star Trek I really need to be in the mood for so those I went ahead and shelved the unread stuff which I normally avoid doing. Probably about half of the 150 books there still to circle back to. Might bump those up to my commute reading once the stack of Epics is a bit lower.

I think it’d be fun if you made it a series where you review, not just overview, each book that comes in. It’d be Kick’s review of the entire Batman mythology which would be fun. Also digestible due to the monthly format. You could do it once a week.

I subscribed to this as a gift for my son. He got a presidential scholarship to college, so the cost of this collection is a drop in the bucket compared to that. Here's the breakdown with the premium add-on: 144 books $3067.15 grand total (This includes everything listed below.) 48 months Average cost per book: $21.30 Average cost per month: $63.90 Shipping is $2.40 per volume (not per package). If you pay with PayPal, they throw in an additional book of cover art, for free. Most books are $17.99. (This is a panorama spine of 120 books.) There are 16 oversized books for $25.99 each. (This is a second panorama spine.) The premium is 8 books. (This is a third panorama spine.) The cost of these is $1.50 per volume starting with the third package, or $1.50 x 133 = $199.50. If you don't like that cost, don't do the add-on. And they throw in some special gifts as well. Honestly, this is a pretty good deal.

We already know the exact make up of the Fanhome version is going to be a little different, Hush is shown in the promotional material as being across a couple of the regular books when that wasn't nin the Eaglemoss Batman havIng already been done in the earlier Eaglemoss DC set. The "specials" that were quarterly books in the Eaglemoss version also look to be a different selection. Out to work shortly but will message you on Instagram later with the contents of the Eaglemoss version as a loose, probably not exact, idea of what should be coming.
