Cheap Comics!!!

March 10th, 2010 - Customers affected by these cancellations are being offered $25 gift certificates. Like I said, wasn't that upset. Though it would'a been very cool to have all those thick-assed comic-books. Nice gesture, I think, and free stuff is always good.


March 9th, 2010 - My orders were canceled (except for Four Constables) as were those of many others.


"Unfortunately, due to a pricing error, we sold many more than expected. In fact, we completely sold out — we don't have any in stock right now, and we're not even sure if we'll be able to get more.
As a result, we've had to cancel your order. I realize this is disappointing news, and I'm so sorry for any inconvenience this causes.
You may want to check our website from time to time to see if this item is available. If anyone is selling it, you'll see a "More Buying Choices" box on the product detail page; if it's not available from any sellers, you might see an "Order it used" or "Alert me" link. "Order it used" allows you to place a pre-order for the item in case another seller lists the item for sale later. "Alert me" allows you to sign up so we can e-mail you when Amazon has stock available for purchase.
I'm sorry I don't have better news. We hope to see you again soon."

Hmmm. Not as upset as I maybe should be? Those prices were way too good to be true....


March 8th, 2010 4:38-ish PM - Prices are back to normal, except for the Chinese titles near the bottom. Those will change too I'm sure.

These are mostly 400-800 page hardcover Omnibus collections, but I also found a couple of unrelated sets that had been sitting in my shopping cart reduced in price also. Dunno how long these prices are good for (Howard The Duck was showing as out of stock but I was still able to order it).

The original link via Lightning Deals
The fist couple of titles there are regular graphic novels, and the rest Omnibus.



Plus a few others I was able to find, There, may be more...

Passed on this one. As of this writing $8.24 for more than a thousand pages, mostly stuff I don't wanna read, though.

Had to get this one. I've got most of the main issues from previous collections (hard cover and paperback), but not the annual. Price, right now, $14.99, normally 60-ish, I think.

I hear Brubaker's a good writer, and I'd been kinda interested to read his Captain America. Having major plot points becoming news, or in some cases well known was a bit of an obstacle. I like a little surprise, but I'm not buying the monthly floppies. Just not economically feasible. On the other hand, I can jump into this volume without worrying about what came before, cuz I kinda think I know. Today-ish this 464 page volume is $8.24

I ordered the Brubaker Daredevil collection from the Lightning Deals near the top of this post. Also priced at $8.24. Was hesistant about this too. After Frank Miller, I doubted there was any point to reading Daredevil anymore, so I didn't. However the price is right! I haven't yet jumped on the Bendis version, shown above. Now I have.




768 pages, $8.24, but I've spent enough money already and some old comics are a chore to read. Not a huge fan of some of these X-men books until later in the 1960s.




This one is tempting, though. I might regret not getting this. $14.99. Marie Severin did some decent work on some of those early Hulk stories.




No thanks. $14.99's a good price for more than 700 pages, though.

I was stupid not to add this to my first order. Corrected that mistake (placed in shopping cart at least). FF # 1-30, and Annual #1 for $8.24? Sheeeeeeeeeeit! Ordered.

I already had the first four volumes of Chinese Hero (Chung Wa Ying Hung also called Blood Sword), and had kept the set of Volumes 4-8 in my shopping cart for months. The $14.99 price is equal the current price of individual volumes.




$14.99 is only about ten bucks lower than what it had been for months, but still a good deal. Another one that I had been waiting to purchase. Though labeled volumes 1-3, this particular set follows previous volumes.

I'm on the fence with this one. More Brubaker, but doing what he's reputed to do best, crime comics. Ordered this, as well.
