Astro City!!! I'm on Metrobook 3 now, nice haul Chris. Peace n love from Malaysia, cheers!

[@OffMyShelves]

If you made it to book three then I am guessing it's good so I am looking forward to diving in! Peace and Love from Wales as always!

Great timing! I was just watching comic book update videos on KZbin 😂 I was planning on saving for that huuuge Astrocity hardcover edition next year, but we'll see... Gosh, I got Button Man what seems like ages ago; must be 2020 **checks** nope, 2019 😅 I can't remember much about it or if I finished reading it :') I think I got something else of Wagner's around the same time, last American soldier or something like that? Anyway, his "America" Judge Dredd story (if you can call it that) is my favourite graphic novel - I have maybe 5 editions 🙈 Had my eye on The Killer then realised Netflix have a movie out, so as you say, the comic sold out 😂 (sidenote: Pluto anime is out now!) Sadly, as with many things (such as small deluxes 😂), seeing the signatures isn't a guarantee of sewn binding, as even hardbacks have fooled me with this! (Mainly manga, iirc Vinland Saga and Message to Adolf, but I'll have to double check). So I'm glad you also pointed out about opening a book at the centre of the signature to check for the thread! Thanks for sharing! **Updates wishlist** **Buys lottery ticket**

Dig Button Man back out and give it a whirl, I really enjoyed revisiting it. I will be diving head first into the Killer as I love a David Fincher film. Message to Adolf has strange pointy gluey binding, that is the technical term; a Vinland, thou it pains me to criticise it in anyway does indeed have deceiving signatures as its pretending to be sewn binding. Thanks for pointing that out as I should have been clearer in saying that the curve and the look inside should be done together to find out about the binding as there are many variations. I just grabbed a 2nd hand copy of Lovelace and Babbage as it looked right up my street, so thanks for that recommendation!

@@OffMyShelves Yay! 🙌 **Adds 'influencer' to bio** 😂 My "currently reading" pile got so large I had to get one of my ReallyUseful boxes out and keep them in there next to the bed 🤣 But if you don't hear from me on your next video, I've gone searching for Button Man somewhere in my shelves and gotten buried under some books 📚🤣

I love seeing sewn through paperbacks!!! On the flip side though I hate seeing hardbacks that aren't...

[@OffMyShelves]

Paperback should never beat hardbacks!...but often they do, cruel world!

[@Kor33Com]

Nice haul Chris. I've bought few days ago Daredevil Omni by Waid vol.1 and the first two hardcovers of Night Eaters by Marjorie Liu .

[@OffMyShelves]

Great pick ups there! 👍

[@MYTHNL90]

Interesting titles, Astro City and the Killer caught my eye as well but never read those. Looking forward to the reviews/overviews!

[@OffMyShelves]

I am sure I will be blabbering about them both at some point!

[@analogcomics]

Not sure if I can trust a channel that trusts me😜The Killer should be on Netflix this Friday if I remember it correctly? I finished reading The Complete edition not so long ago and might do another vid later to add few thoughts. But I did enjoy it. It’s like s slice of life story if you look at it from the killers perspective🤷🏼‍♂️

[@OffMyShelves]

I’m not sure if I can trust an channel that trusts your channel either! I’ll read it before I watch it as it arrived first.

[@analogcomics]

@@OffMyShelves Yes, read first then the movie. Movie will always be a more compact version anyway. I’m sure they’ll have to put more weight on action too as the comic is quite balsy on how long it takes time to tell the story and just lingers on the killers cynical mind. Cheers from Germany🤘🏻

Astro City is top tier Kurt Busiek writing

[@Philly_Phiction]

Button Man and The Killer both look really interesting. I'll have to check analongs review vid. Look forward to your review though.

[@OffMyShelves]

I think you’ll enjoy them both tbh. I only have a single bed at thought bubble this weekend but as I know you’ll turn up last minute to meet me in person finally, we can go tops and tails. 👍

[@Philly_Phiction]

@@OffMyShelves haha honestly, I've never had fomo like this. I'm checking flights everyday and I can see me booking last minute and hope someone can squeeze me in

[@OffMyShelves]

@@Philly_Phiction don't stress too much there will always be next year! If you do turn up though you have to let me know!

[@thepartworkscomicsreader9488]

That Get Harry Ex collection only has the three stories drawn by Arthur Ranson so is missing The Hitman's Daughter. I sent Omar a copy a little while ago, the Hachette hardcovers have all four Button Man stories across two volumes. Still on for Harrogate at the weekend?

[@OffMyShelves]

I did not realise there was another one out there. Will have to search that out as I really enjoyed the collection. I am still on for Though Bubble, very excited! You know what I look like so be sure if you see me to say hi!
