Best packaging effort yet from Hachette. I order four books. What's delivered: a card envelope minus the books.

Mini-IP was young enough that it did actually catch her out. She was ready for this year's gag, but appreciated their dedication to all things egg. I bloody love that comic. During the rare occasions I get to see it. (Mini-IP sometimes takes pity on me and suggests I read Bunny vs Monkey or something. But I haven't read No Country in weeks now.)
Quote from: GordonR on 06 April, 2024, 01:21:22 PMI think you might be very wrong there. Action Force is a dead franchise, while Sonic is very much alive, and IDW currently have the licence to make Sonic comics.Fair enough. I would have thought under those circumstances the current rights holder could, if it chose, work with the previous one and Sega.
Quote from: Colin YNWA on 05 April, 2024, 02:01:10 PMThere's a bit of me wondering whether I need to just bite the bullet and start collecting the floppies (well from the start of the Dark Horse stuff - as any earlier is going to get expensive!) given how much I love what I've read to date...Or you could buy my box of Usagi Yojimbo trades, which I still haven't got around to selling, and that are a complete run through to before the switch to IDW!
Quote from: Colin YNWA on 05 April, 2024, 02:06:02 PMAnything that can't be read slumped on the couch is doing something wrong!For me, the Library Editions are just about OK. I've read those while lying on one of our sofas and kind of balancing the book on my legs/knees. It's not the best, but it's fine.
QuoteAlso I think I'm the only person in the world who didn't get on with Hellboy.Hellboy is an odd one for me. I was utterly smitten with it in the early days. The artwork is gorgeous. And I loved its fairytale logic. That run in the Library Editions is one of my favourite of any comics I've read. But. Then I got sucked into BPRD, which started well and ended horribly. Beyond that, the universe expanded to a ludicrous degree.
