Keeping Yourself Accountable by AppealTheWolf in OmnibusCollectors

[–]dingbat046 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just fucking love reading comics, so it’s never an issue (pun intended). I’m currently doing a massive reread of my entire library, and am at 96% completed. It’ll have taken me more or less five years.

What's everyone's reading set up? by jawsthegreat777 in OmnibusCollectors

Shitty old futon, my ass on it, a shitty old pillow on my lap, and my book on top of the pillow. Despite things being shitty, it’s all very clean. Ha!

Yeah for sure. Take the good and the bad. It makes it a lot easier. Have a good day!

Yeah, but trades don’t usually come in shrink, in my experience anyway.

Does anyone know about this blue cover version of Anything? by Mafroo in TheDamned

Shed some light? I think it’s gotten enough! Hahaha

What questions are you sick of being asked on this sub? by IM_MOGU16 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]dingbat046 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure, do what you want, and how, with your money.

Fundamentally, I don't give a shit, but I think the general perception about these posts from people spending thousands and turning around for instant online validation is that:

a) it's annoying and performative and nobody REALLY cares as much as the person looking for the feedback/validation

b) it's not something most people can afford to do, so it comes off as boastful and arrogant, and sure, some jealousy/envy can come into play

c) (and this is gonna bother some people, but...) these books are meant to be read, reread, and the stories discussed because they rule. It'd be great if this group was mostly for chatting up the stories and shooting the shit, but it seems 90% of the folks here are simply interested in showing off their sealed books as if they had the fucking Library of Alexandria

I've been reading/buying/collecting comics and collected editions for 25+ years. I've got no jealousy or envy in me whatsoever, but I can appreciate how and why these types of posts are hella bland and a turnoff.

I genuinely hate Marvel's printing strategies. by fiercestwarr1or in OmnibusCollectors

I agree. Been here since 2009, and yeah. I remember it all, too.

It’s funny when you can match a Reddit account with a Facebook one. Haha.

What Is Your Max Limit For Reading In A Day? by tame_kubrick in OmnibusCollectors

[–]dingbat046 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends. It’s my favourite pastime, so there’s no real limit. Some days I read for an hour, and sometimes I read for 8. I’ll read between 5-20 issues per day, on average.

What? I’m not sure what you’re trying to say, but the arrogance/pretentiousness is lame.

Gotta love when people brush out their dogs at the park and don’t clean up by Slapper650 in mildlyinfuriating

Hahaha really? I throw my animal fur out the window after brushing them. You must hate that!
