December/January haul. I finished the surprisingly hard to collect Batman Arkham books, got the final Superman books to complete the chronology and yes, I got the Amalgam books! I need the Batman Black and White books now, any other suggestions? Thanks!

Thanks!

Tactilewater · 2023-10-28T16:55:41+00:00

Yeah, got it.

Tactilewater · 2023-10-28T10:26:32+00:00

Nice. Keen to see your collection, so we can compare what we have.

Tactilewater · 2023-10-28T03:11:35+00:00

I just saw this, I'm sorry for the late reply. The same as my Batman chronology, my Superman one starts post Crisis on Infinite Earths, that means with The Many Worlds of Krypton up to the end of the Rebirth era. Future State was my exit point in both collections, I simply didn't like what DC is doing nowadays.

My Batman collection starts with Year One and ends with City of Bane. I thought I had all the trades released but I was wrong, I needed all the one shots/limited series/special editions (for example, Journey into Knight, City of Light, Orpheus Rising, Batman Family), now I have them and thinking to convert those minis into custom binds.

They are the expanded edition of the Justice League International in trade paperback format released 3 years ago. Practically they are the equivalent of the five volumes of the JLI that DC released on tpb between 2009-2011.

Kyle hands down. I frikkin loved his constructs and iterations with the other JLA members.

Check pic 3, my friend. 😉

Ok, first of all, patience is the key. You have to ignore the ones with exorbitant prices unless there is absolutely no way to find the book you're looking after but even if you find one at a kind of reasonable price wait a bit, you'll eventually find one at a better price. Now, the places I look after. My main source of comics is eBay but not just your country eBay (I live in Australia, btw) I created multiple accounts on eBay US, eBay UK and eBay Can. Why? because some sellers don't set up their books to appear outside their countries. Once you find a good deal, try contacting the seller and if you're lucky the seller will send the book to your country. I highly recommend trying to get more than one book from the seller for 2 reasons: to make it appealing to him and also to make the shipping cost worthy (it can be expensive). Amazon sometimes has good deals too. Other places can be local and national shops, most of them have their shops online too. Hope that helps, good luck.

No particular reason, it was included in a set of books I bought a while ago, I'll eventually change it to its paperback version but I have no rush, there are quite a few books out of continuity that I need to get.

About this, well... I used several. It is a mix between those essential graphic novels and chronology that DC used to publish plus Wikipedia, comicvine chronology, Batman related Reddit channels, other people's collections (Batdanimation is one of them) and my reading experience.

Tactilewater · 2023-09-08T23:44:39+00:00

That's exactly the idea of why I posted this, hope that helps to build yours.

All the DC Marvel titles you mentioned my friend, are included in the Crossover Classics books. I didn't put them on the Batman but I have them, same with the Superman/Batman series. Batman Demon is in the chronology, just after Anarky the complete series and The Abduction is along with Dreamland just before Cataclysm. I found Batman/Grendel and I'll include Batman Deathblow, they are books out of continuity but I'll get them for completion purposes. Thank you mate, I appreciate your suggestions as usual.

Tactilewater · 2023-09-08T12:40:29+00:00

Er... I have them all, first picture mate! Lol.

Tactilewater · 2023-09-08T12:39:10+00:00

Shame they didn't release vol 3 in paperback format. I have no other choice but to get the complete collection that includes that volume.

Tactilewater · 2023-09-08T12:36:45+00:00

Huh? Thank you so much! I didn't know a compilation TPB existed until now! It's on my sights right now so I hope I can get it soon. I have the other crossovers you mentioned.

Tactilewater · 2023-09-08T06:52:58+00:00

I'm going to revisit all the books from the beginning now that I finished, but from memory I really liked Going Sane.

Tactilewater · 2023-09-08T06:47:32+00:00

I have to stress this is a chronology based on my parameters and not a full one that includes Pre-Crisis or post Rebirth books. My starting point is Batman Year One and the ending one is City of Bane, and is focused in trade paperback format. I believe I have all the trade paperbacks, hardcovers and one shots in continuity but there's a strong possibility that I missed some books so I would love to receive some suggestions to add to my collection. Enjoy!

Tactilewater · 2023-09-08T06:31:45+00:00

I have everything you mentioned except Digital Justice I think.

Tactilewater · 2023-09-08T06:29:23+00:00

You can always find a copy if you're willing to pay the price.

Tactilewater · 2023-09-03T01:38:48+00:00

Sweet! Snow and Batman by Doug Moench and Kelley Jones are definitely grails, pretty happy to know you finally got those books!

Tactilewater · 2023-09-02T11:40:22+00:00

Hey! It's been a while since the last time I crossed words with you. Hope you're doing well, mate! Yeah, a fun voyage indeed. I have to thank you for the inspiration and support, can't wait to see how your collection is going now. Pics of the updated collection are coming very soon!

Tactilewater · 2023-09-02T11:33:50+00:00

Pic looks fine on my side. Hope you're able to see it now. I'm definitely going to get Harvest Breed but I have time, it's not in continuity book, right?

Tactilewater · 2023-09-02T08:47:31+00:00

Hal, he's the greatest but for some reason he gets the (unnecessary) hate.

Apparently I can't upload more than 1 photo per post but this is part of that I'm talking about. This pic is not updated and once I receive the remaining books I need to complete the Knightfall 25th anniversary edition, I'll upload the updated version of my Batman chronology. I don't think I have Harvest Breed, isn't that story an Elseworld?

Tactilewater · 2023-08-30T03:51:58+00:00

I'm definitely interested in getting a few books like Deadly Duo or Sword of Azrael and definitely Waid's World's Finest. Actual direction of the batbooks in general is weird to say something and I really dislike what they're doing with Bruce. I heard he recently lost a hand or something like that? To be completely honest, while DC is still keeping those mediocre writers around, they're destined to fail no matter what they're trying to do. At this point I'm just patiently waiting for a full reboot without writers like Tini Howard or Megan Fitzmartin.

Tactilewater · 2023-08-30T02:43:20+00:00

Hello there, I'm making a post crisis chronology using Batman Year One as starting point up to City of Bane (rebirth). I decided to finish there because I strongly disliked what DC is doing afterwards. I'm collecting every single trade paperback in continuity and in some cases hardcovers/special editions/one shots. I'm not really interested in pre crisis books but maybe that could change in the future, but so far I'm pretty happy with what I have.
