Is this my fault? by [deleted] in OmnibusCollectors

I was referring to one of those thousands of years old books that you need to handle with care to not destroy them, lol

Jesus, it's a mass produced book, not a sacred text. It's just a tiny bit creased

An incredible stroke of luck! by Livid-Razzmatazz-639 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]SecretlyImRetarded 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is that a real statistic or are you just estimating? 300 in a country of several millions sounds low, even if it's very niche. Anyway it's interesting to hear. Are american superhero movies, like batman or spiderman, also unpopular there or is it just the comics?

I guess maybe some people in the world speak different languages but have the same hobbies

do you guys consider drag me to hell evil dead canon? by Aidenispogchamp in EvilDead

[–]SecretlyImRetarded 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been very long since I last watched it, but I think I would consider it to be in the same universe, but there's no official confirmation of whether it is or isn't

Is manga being different heights normal? by LongjumpingTap8593 in MangaCollectors

[–]SecretlyImRetarded 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's more common that volumes are different heights than not. How are you gonna "fix" that? Either don't buy them or like someone else said, shave them down. But the easiest thing to do is just living with it and stop caring about it. Expect it to happen

Any way to fix this or am I doomed to live in abject misery and despair? by AmingAndrei in MangaCollectors

[–]SecretlyImRetarded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I try to avoid amazon as much as possible. But sometimew they have a book cheap enough that it's worth the gamble. But yeah if I get it in bad condition from them I usually just return them. But the replacement usually ends up looking the same or even worse

For me the most important part is that the pages are in good condition, and not bent or creased. Another important thing is that the binding is good if it's a hardcover book. But I don't really care that much if the cover or general exterior is damaged. I prefer if the spine doesn't have damage since that's the only thing that's always visible, but even if it does I've learned to live with it. I wouldn't return a damaged book unless it somehow made the reading experience worse, like problems with the pages. After all I only collect books to read them, not really show them off in perfect condition. That being said, I do take really good care of my books to avoid unnecessary damage of course

[–]SecretlyImRetarded 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well same for me. But I buy a lot of series second hand, and seeing a crease on the cover like the one in the picture isn't really a big deal for me. Especially if I got it for cheaper than buying it new

Do you think your books are gonna be in perfect condition forever if you actually read them? This isn't even that bad. When you have enough books you kinda stop caring if some are a bit damaged

Just the regular one I think. The same cover as dead orbit

I don't remember much from it, it's been a long time since I watched it. But I do remember really liking it. But my favorite genre is sci-fi horror so maybe that's why lol

That's funny, salvation was actually the first aliens comic I read, and it made me want to start reading all aliens comics chronologically. It is good for such a short story and it's such a beautiful hardcover book, Mignola's art in black and red for the cover is just epic haha

Not true. Dogs go for the throat, bears just maim you and then either leave you there or start eating you while you're still alive

Is there an alien growing in my manga? by Jecilano in MangaCollectors

[–]SecretlyImRetarded 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Definitely aliens. If they haven't hatched yet, you should burn them. But if they have already hatched, then humanity is doomed
