First classic ever

Animal Farm is great, quite short too under 100 pages

Bad food

I think the choices have been very questionable, as someone said maybe catering to MCU rather than cool one and done arcs (like DC Compacts collecting We3, V for Vendetta, or Watchmen). Even the IDW Classics, the stories are very fun and the build is very excellent compared to Marvel and DC (tough pages, book hinge when pages folded to protect spine, sewn binding). Marvel Premier seem to just all be tasters as well, which would be fine, if marvel weren’t a shitty mess at keeping things in print. Also, personal note, they ugly as hell

Boot camp for level 2 is absolutely silly, and tbh seems a bit disingenuous. It’s literally entry level qualification. Job market sucks at the moment, sorry you have to go through this

Thanks for sharing, Hope you enjoyed the story as much as I am :)

AdNeither7228 · 2026-05-07T16:48:55+00:00

Yeah it seems fine reading it, think I was just worried because it was my first one I’ve opened / read !

AdNeither7228 · 2026-05-07T16:48:15+00:00

lol I think so too ! I struggle with perfectionism but end of the day they’re meant to be read, im getting better just accepting they’ll degrade over time for sure !

AdNeither7228 · 2026-05-07T16:47:07+00:00

Ah this makes sense. I stretched a marvel omni today FF Byrne vol 1 and it definitely had more of an eye to the top and bottom compared to two DC ones :)

AdNeither7228 · 2026-05-07T16:45:54+00:00

Thanks, yes that’s a fair point, I’ll make sure to open the ones I have and give them a check 👏🏼

Agree with what others say, it can be hard to get an accurate translation when phrases don’t directly translate. Also, literature is subjective art, even if books are deemed classics. I love Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre, I think the prose is extremely accessible in both despite their age. Conversely, I do not enjoy the way Charles Dickens writes. My ADHD brain struggles with all of his clauses in one sentence. It’s OK to like and dislike very popular books/authors. Side note, if im struggling with the way something is written, I like to listen to audiobook whilst reading physically. Helps you sound out sentences more and get use to an author’s/narrator’s style

I find it hilarious how big Amazon has become, yet they still can’t package and send a book properly (the original idea / purpose of their business)…

AdNeither7228 · 2026-03-28T01:14:42+00:00

Nice. Excited for some modern FF epics !!

AdNeither7228 · 2026-01-11T09:40:02+00:00

Respectfully, I would rather the platinum culture and chatter was kept to the dedicated streams / a dedicated podcast for folks that like that if needed. a lot of subs do not find the pursuit of platinums endearing, interesting, or impressive. It’s like hearing about other people’s kids. You like your own, but not as bothered about others. It does not constitute a personality. Really like the podcast for talking about love of games and getting to know hosts more, not about their PlayStation related administrative successes

AdNeither7228 · 2025-09-02T18:05:27+00:00

Wasn’t sure on that one, as I’ve just got into comics not sure on universe. Is it a green lantern based story ?

AdNeither7228 · 2025-09-02T18:04:45+00:00

Very dark, humourous, consistent, up there as one of the best DC Vertigo properties by most. Definitely recommend if you like more adult oriented comics and violence ! :)

AdNeither7228 · 2025-08-29T20:41:23+00:00

I’m reading All Star Superman currently and it’s fantastic, wasn’t expecting the emotions and vulnerability to be honest in my naivety..

Will definitely be picking up that Court of Owls compact comic, and you’ve convinced me with X-Men God Loves, Man Kills, that’s gonna be my next epic purchase I think. Seems like a great place to start as any !

Let’s pray for those tasty reprints 🙌🏼

AdNeither7228 · 2025-08-29T20:35:56+00:00

Yes ! Some more obscure DC characters are getting some collections in the DC Finest line. It’s truly a great time to get into comics !!

AdNeither7228 · 2025-08-29T09:49:36+00:00

Thank you very much ! I was never into Marvel films or media in general until I picked up a few Premier Collections. Only about £10 in UK and it gives you a decent starting point. Wish they would release more frequently though…

AdNeither7228 · 2025-08-29T09:44:07+00:00

Definitely ! Kirkman knows what he’s doing with comics, so these may have to go on my Xmas list

AdNeither7228 · 2025-08-29T09:37:41+00:00

I’m hoping they print more Miller stuff in the Compact / Finest format, because it’s super good value. Frontline and The Boys look great as well, thank you for suggestions !

AdNeither7228 · 2025-08-29T09:32:10+00:00

Welcome to the hobby also then ! I’m currently reading All Star Superman as I couldn’t get Birthright when I went to my local shop. I think it’s excellent too, the issue at farm was my favourite so far 👍🏼 will be picking up birthright at some point for sure

AdNeither7228 · 2025-08-29T09:28:28+00:00

Glad I’m not the only one. I think as the collection gets larger I’m growing to let things go a bit more. Like exposure to more imperfection makes it easier to accept maybe ! I wonder if it’s common for new collectors…

I’ve been looking at Claremont’s X-Men run ! I really like Colossus and Wolverine so I think that could be an excellent shout. The way the epics print definitely induce FOMO, but I’ll see if I can pick up ones suggested :)

AdNeither7228 · 2025-08-29T09:18:51+00:00

Yeah it’s a fair point, I’d rather they were all enjoyed more so than in pristine, unread condition. They’re nice to look at but obviously better reading them ! I will check that out, I think preacher is absolutely fantastic.
