That Hulk is AMAZING! Is that by Gerardo Zaffino? He's quickly becoming one of my favourite new artists.
I started with Doctor Strange rather a long time ago, drifted away and then Cyberforce brought me back. Since then I've been a fan of the Image neck of the woods, finding myself drawn to non-mainstream stuff. I usually trade-in my comics to get the graphic novel, my preferred format. Despite my recent financial woes, the shelf is still pretty healthy. Just waiting for a certain rarer-than-rocking-horse-poo graphic to arrive from Ontario...

I'm down to only one box of comics, I'll put some pics up next time I'm rummaging.

Join the SAGA thread after you read it so we can discuss it!

That's an awesome-looking set of TPBs you have there, Jae! Doctor Strange and CyberForce... it's funny to hear someone say that those are the books that got them into comics. Props for such unique choices! Image Comics is the place where I spend most of my time these days, too. I wish Dale Keown would release all the Pitt issues in TPB form. As for the "rarer-than-rocking-horse-poo graphic to arrive from Ontario", I picked it up from the shop today while getting my comics, so it'll be sent out this week! It's autographed by both creators, too!
Thank you.
I love the GN format. For all my reading, it is the format that comes nearest to conveying the dynamism of a film for me (when it is done well).
Midnight Nation by J. Michael Straczynski ranks as one of my favourite stories of all time.

Oh, that's just rude... and hugely appreciated.
You should, but make sure you have all three TPB before you start.
Another one of my top ten graphic novels and I rank it close to Watchmen in the costumed superhero genre. I also highly recommend Black Summer by Ellis and Ryp.

I actually have the digital Compendium of Rising Stars. I bought it through comiXology last summer when it was on sale for a day. It collects the entire series and all the mini-series.
Black Summer, eh? I'll have to check that out one day. Ellis is hit or miss with me most of the time. Sometimes his writing is just too out there for me to enjoy.
Two cool surprises in my mailbox this morning. First up is the rare comiXology black and white variant for Invincible #100. Limited to only 500 copies, comiXology handed this issue out to during the ComicsPRO summit only to retailers who were signed up to their digital retailer service. My puppy Penny kept walking up to the comic when I was trying to snap the pic, so I said, "F**k it, you want to be in the pic, so be it!"
Next up is an ultra-limited retailer promo poster for Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples' SAGA. This will be framed and on my wall as soon as possible!
All-in-all, a good haul day, I'd say!

Speaking of Saga...
Edit: It's official, I am in love with Fiona Staples.

The majority of my comic collection, issues/graphic novels are stored at the minute
coz I'm out of shelf space so can't really post pics of it without it being a chore but
here's some pics of my more recent purchases (minus issues)
These are what the covers of those ^^^ look like, still another 20 ish to be released before the spine image is completed, not convinced it'll fit on the bookshelf though ha
Marvel Zomnibus
Hush Absolute edition
Angel - After the fall slipcase edition
Skottie Young Marvel Now baby Litho collection and Promo Poster
Few graphic novels that I remembered where in an accessible box
Few of the framed one's I've got up at the minute all signed by the artists
some of the pics I took failed to upload, no idea why...

Awesome collection, Pharaoh! Those 'Marvel Ultimate Graphic Novels Collection' editions are gorgeous! I love everything about those things! Too bad I already own most of those stories in other formats. Everything else is great, too! That Angel HC looks cool, as does the Skottie Young Marvel babies poster. Hopefully you can add up your framed comics at a later date. You can attach your photos directly through HDN if your photo-hosting site isn't working properly.
thanks, I've added the pics of a few of the framed pieces I've got up right now;
they're poster size prints not comics I thought I'd added them to that post but forgot to.
Yea the Angel one I havent read yet, it's a hard slipcase with the 4 TPB inside it.
I've fell behind on my reading lately, just read a couple comics now though "Ten Grand"
and "Thanos Rising #2" both good. "Ten Grand" started off really well gonna put that on
my list of regular purchases.
They're doing a new set for those graphic novels but it's gonna be character based
rather than story based, so it'll focus one issue on Wolverine then Wasp, Scarlet Witch
etc with standout issues and a bio
the stuff that wouldnt upload were more graphic novels and some random stuff...

I'll definitely check out Ten Grand. J. Michael Straczynski is the reason I got back into Amazing Spider-Man and Thor and his Supreme Power run was incredible. Ben Templesmith is a favourite artist of mine, too; I'm a huge 30 Days of Night fan.
That TPB collection looks pretty cool, though I think I prefer the spines on the HC series.
And those framed lithographs!!!
I'd kill for that Wolverine vs. Hulk litho with the Herb Trimpe sketch!
Oh, the new set is HC, too? Wow... might have to check that one out. Looks like Marco Djurdjevic painted the spine for that series and I do love his work -- though I think I still prefer Gabriele Dell'Otto's spine for the series that you own.
The Superior Spider-{param}Stan #16 B&W Variant Edition! Thanks HDN and tridon for this great giveaway!
