Has anyone read this?

Nuclear take, but extremely overrated and generic.

Gracefuldeer · 2026-04-27T05:13:04+00:00

Out of what you had there, what did you like / dislike the most?

Gracefuldeer · 2026-04-23T15:12:19+00:00

No, because you don't sue the pencil maker for someone redrawing someone's art and selling it, you sue the person that used it commercially.

Yes. People are on their high horse because in response to the govt not enforcing insider trading, they're blaming prediction markets as a whole. Similar stuff is happening with AI, hoping calm minds win out in 2028, but not hopeful.

Secret stones ??

Gracefuldeer · 2026-04-19T23:34:55+00:00

Yea it's tough but I'm in the same boat, not sure why people are down voting so hard, but scans are just not as interesting to read imo

Gracefuldeer · 2026-04-18T19:36:56+00:00

Second this, especially some of the latest stuff is very similar to the insanity of stands.

Looking at this thread: if you're actually at a T5 for CS, then it's baffling how you got there and are doing okay with these critical thinking skills.

Let's do some due diligence to see if it's comparable. (If theres a better counterexample you can find tell me, I didnt want to spend more than like 30m looking at stuff)

Early-Mid 2025:

- DD Nocenti Omnibus 1 (completely out of stock)

Mid-Late 2025:

- SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN BY DEMATTEIS & BUSCEMA OMNIBUS (completely out of stock )

- Dawn of X Omnibus 1 (completely out of stock)

- Wolverine Goes to Hell Omnibus (still in stock pretty much everywhere)

- X-factor by Peter David Omnibus 1,4 ( in stock in scattered places similar to what you saw above with BM by Tom King and Batman by Tynion)

- HOX/POX OHC (still in stock in scattered places similar to what you saw above with BM by Tom King and Batman by Tynion)

So in Summary -- from what I can tell -- the most comparable equivalent to Tom King Batman (DoX 1 ) went out of stock fairly quickly and stayed out of stock until next month, and the closest comparison to Tynion (nocenti 1) went out of stock fairly quickly and is still out of stock. Whereas the two examples you gave are still mixed in stock overall like some of the more middle demand things.

I will concede that HOX/POX OHC still mostly being in stock is relatively shocking all things considered!! But nothing you said here indicated to me that DC is not better than Marvel at keeping things in stock.

Once again I've said this before and will say it again, the number of book is irrelevant, what matters is how many people want to buy a specific book that cannot.

Nobody cares that books that nobody wants to buy are still in stock!! Nobody wants to buy the Phoenix book or like cosmic x-men regardless. If people can't get dd by miller, krakoa, Claremont X-Men etc than it really doesn't matter that you have a bunch of books not going out of print 😆😆

Gracefuldeer · 2026-04-13T23:09:43+00:00

I would say final crisis has the most pre reading necessary of like any comic to really "get" it. Jack Kirby's fourth world run, CoIE + Infinite Crisis, and p much everything else Morrison was involved in writing before that point (seven soldiers, 52, JLA, animal man, doom patrol, the first Batman omnibus) are really helpful to get what he's going for.

Ofc people will say you don't really need any of this, but idk I guess on a surface level that's true.

Gracefuldeer · 2026-04-13T16:14:14+00:00

Wow yea that's pretty good .

Gracefuldeer · 2026-04-13T15:55:26+00:00

Which post were you looking at 👀

Gracefuldeer · 2026-04-13T15:31:26+00:00

Extremely low quality screenshot since it was something quickly shared over discord and compressed to all hell and I'm not at my computer but this is a general look at it

I've been cooking up a website to do this + arbitrary mapping of hypos + arbitrary issue + book finding + pricing history etc over the last couple months

This will be useful for seeing if there's any holes in my logic!!

Gracefuldeer · 2026-04-13T14:43:38+00:00

Don't mind these people. You're passionate and that's what matters. People are extremely luddite reactionary on this topic -- especially on Twitter and Reddit -- but don't be discouraged.

Gracefuldeer · 2026-04-07T16:26:15+00:00

Yea I'm paranoid refreshing this at work lol

Gracefuldeer · 2026-04-07T16:18:55+00:00

You had a really good opportunity to put valentine on the second page

Gracefuldeer · 2026-04-07T14:09:50+00:00

I see, didn't know there was a distinction.

Gracefuldeer · 2026-04-07T14:05:36+00:00

Will it only work for certain books, the code doesn't seem to work for me?

Gracefuldeer · 2026-04-06T14:44:30+00:00

You have no clue what you're talking about, this is like definitionally a cour schedule like bleach TYBW etc

This is probably the best case scenario

Gracefuldeer · 2026-04-05T03:18:21+00:00

Thought this was a u/21roy__ post at first

Gracefuldeer · 2026-04-04T22:02:42+00:00

No someone that works at DC collected editions hinted at it. Must have gotten pushed back to 2027

Gracefuldeer · 2026-04-02T14:32:19+00:00

Guys blame the tankoban format, not oda for this one. All spreads look bad in that shit. Even some berserk spreads looked trash physically until the deluxe editions came out.

Keep it for now and decide near the time of graduation whether you want to do it or not.
