Nice shiney new hardcover collections - Waid and Brubaker

Just received:

The fifth and final volume in the nice oversized edition reprinting Mark Waid's recent Daredevil run.

The weighty Gotham Central Omnibus by Brubaker and Greg Rucka. It needs more than one pic to to the size of this justice.

Two lovely looking collections for my shelf and I'm sure they will be nice to read too when I get the time.

Fatale

I've just read all five volumes of the Fatale series.

Another Brubaker noir series. He does them all the time but they are still worth reading.

This is an excellent example of my patience with trades these days. I bought the first volume in August 2012 and the last in Oct 2014. Waiting to read them so close together helped me enjoy the story much more.

Still buying Brubaker material with an Omnibus on the way,,,,

Criminal 10th Anniversary Issue - Deadly Hands!

I can't believe it's been over a year since I bought the last Criminal special edition which was also in the imitation magazine format. This one is packaged like the old "Deadly Hands of Kung-Fu".

Although these stories will be collected in trade later this year, I really wanted them in this magazine format as it makes them a bit special.

Captain America Civil War

The Marvel movies come round pretty regularly these days and this was one of the biggest yet. So many heroes packed into one film.

The plot was a little weak in terms of I struggled to believe an ordinary citizen could cause so much trouble but the action sequences were just awesome.

Special mention to the new Spidey. Early signs this is the best one yet!

Two new Trades

I'm still getting a few trades but it does seem that purchases are slowing down. Not sure when I'll get round to Starfire but  Vader Down will be read pretty soon.
