hey Vic_Viper or anyone else might know, how does omnibus shipping work at DCBS? there are 5 omnibus i want to pre-order, but if i choose standard shipping will it all wait until the last one is ready? most of them are in October, but one is in December. what if i picked bi-weekly or weekly shipping?
That was always one of those things about DCBS that I found to be a bit confusing. Their explanation is as follows:
I've only ever ordered statues from DCBS, so I never had to deal with it.
Im not positive how DCBS does it, but other places will hold everything until the last item in your order is ready to ship them all. Twice a month will ship orders every two weeks, but you pay double for shipping. And weekly of course will ship orders once a week, but you pay 4 times.
hm, that's just about when I'll be charged, right? I'm not so worried about that. more just when I'll get my books.
Ok, so say I placed an order for three omnibus as part of these June orders. One releases early October, one releases late October, the third releases in early December.
Standard shipping -- all books wait until December, then ship at the end of the month. One shipment.
Twice Monthly -- the first book will ship mid Oct., the second late oct, the third mid December. Three shipments.
Weekly Shipping -- Each book would ship the closest Wednesday to launch. Three shipments.
Is that correct?
That sounds right to me, but in case your not sure, you can try asking them directly. The due date for these pre-orders says June 24th, but I bet that gets extended. But the books wont sell out or go away until next month so youve got time to decide.
That sounds about right based on my experiences with statues.
I don't see Jojo being your thing.
I haven't read or watched FMA yet.
But I think you'd enjoy the beginning of Vinland and the stuff after the anime
It upsets me though, because having her be Batgirl in high school hurts her origin the mantle a bit. I'm at work so I can't compose my thoughts entirely now, but like it genuinely bothers me.
The problem is the changes are in service of the story they are currently telling and not to the overall mythos of the character. They likely just told writers to go for it without thinking about how all the pieces fit together.
Just noticed DC put out at Superman The City of Tomorrow tpb, with a second coming in November. Its all the Superman titles starting with Superman #151 by Loeb and McGuinness! I was going to just read the Superman Our Worlds at War trade, but these look to be the lead up to it.
OMG! Can't they put these terms into a 9-panel layout with art instead!!?

I totally forgot that the origin of the most iconic new character of the decade was coming out this week.
Oh yeah, lists.... comics are a thing again. Is there a reason Batman #92 isn't on the Diamond Previews site? I KNOW DC broke up with them, but is it just a matter of Diamond not having received it?

Man im so far behind on the X-Books, I dont even remember where I stopped lol. Last thing I remember was Kitty fell off the boat, Rogue woke up, and the X-Men were in space fighting the brood. I need to make a list or something so I can figure out where I left off and in what order(ish) I need to be following.
EDIT: This helps up to a point I guess:

Why all this hype for Adventureman #1? Is it just Dodson art or is the story going to have some substance?
I made mine from the Previews weekly page and noticed they didn't list Batman #92 of all things.
the last Dodson/Fraction book was Defenders and that was an all-time banger, too good to last
For myself, its having Fraction and Dodson on a new book with a really compelling setting/plot. Wonder how long its planned on running. Is it just a 6-10 issue mini series, or will it run longer. That will determine if I stick around or just trade wait.
I'm giving it a shot for Fraction. Hardly payed attention to the synopsis 😂
Ooooh, okay. I didn't realize Fraction was writing. Yeah, Fraction/Dodson Defenders was the shit.
yeah that's what I meant; also GUESS THAT'S WHY BATMAN IS NOT ON THERE WOW the distributor wars are BACK I guess
They have an individual page for it listing June 10th, so it's not like they're refusing to distribute it or anything.
BATMAN #92 (FEB200417)
The greatest heist in history is underway in Gotham City, courtesy of the mysterious crimemaster known as the Designer! Batman knows what he needs to do, but in order to stop the plot, he must first escape the most ingenious death trap the Riddler has ever devised!

what's really frustrating is that the hack frauds at CMX don't even have joker 80th or death metal up for pre-order or subbing, unless my search is failing me
also in comics reading news I finally made my way through Hellboy in Hell last night. ultimately I'm not a huge Hellboy fan, it never grabbed me that much. but for whatever reason that ending did make me emotional. I plan to reread it all at some point in the future, so maybe my opinion will change in time. still need to check out all the small/one-off stories and of course soon I will be starting BPRD, which I am very much anticipating. but probably not until I read a bunch more IDW TMNT, which I have recently gotten into and am really enjoying despite the extent of my TMNT experience being watching some of the 2003 show back in the day.

I know you tend to like more character-driven stuff, so I think BPRD will be right up your alley. It does start off kind of rocky, but once Arcudi comes on, it becomes one of the best team comics out there and stays excellent all the way to the end of Hell on Earth.
Right. I tend to like character-driven stuff more too and while I was meh on Hellboy, I loved BPRD (aside from TDYK)
TalesOfWonder is apparently a good place to preorder collected editions. It's also owned by DCBS like IST and you're given the choice to ship as they become available or ship all at once. There's only one standard shipping option though so you can't get ground like you can with IST and the free shipping is at $99 instead of $50.
OP
OP
Why do DCBS own all these places under different names
Never heard of this TalesofWonder site lol. Shit theyve got the Superman Batman omni listed and its cheaper than CGN damnit. But that site does not give off confidence lol.
Ehh Ill give them a try. Ill preorder the Batman Deluxe Book 5 and the Superman Man of Steel HC.
EDIT: I wish I had some sort of clue if/when CGN was getting the book in stock, or if I should cancel and try to buy it from ToW. Just got a reply to my email asking, and they said that they placed an order for it last week, and it should be in Tuesday or Wednesday, BUT they havent recieved an invoice for the order, so dont know if its coming lol.

Just finished Ironheart in two sittings. (Eve Ewing being on fire on twitter lately may or may not have inspired me to finally get started.)
Gonna re-read Excalibur before the new issue comes out next week. Like Marauders I totally forgot what was going on before publishing stopped :p
• I really, really love how Eve handled Riri's PTSD, survivor's guilt, and general struggle with trying to interact with other people 'normally.' She's super compelling in a way I haven't seen from a comic protagonist in a while.
• The idea of keeping an AI companion of your dead best friend is just wild. Poor Riri.
• The "don't shoot" scene. Damn.
• Put this book down as yet another that deserved more issues than it got. At least a few more so that one plot thread about her dad didn't have to be wrapped up as abruptly as it did.
• Wasn't gonna follow the new Champions run at first, but now I lowkey want to solely to see Eve writing Riri again.
