Does anyone know if book 4 of the softcover collected editions of Scalped came out on the 18th December as planned? Amazon.co.uk says it did but it's out of stock. Anywhere else I've looked (including amazon.com) has never heard of it.

Yes, all the time. Frequently have to demand a replacement. Normally scuffed covers like they’ve been knocked around the floor but also dented corners, busted spines and occasionally puncture damage. The penultimate volume of Walking Dead had a hole going fully front to back!

DCs decision to print compendium volumes 1-3 of Scalped but not 4 & 5 has led me to not only drop everything that isn’t finished and fully published, but also to start to break down and sell a 1000+ volume collection that I’ve built up over twenty years. loving DC.

NO gently caress YOU I’M SELLING THEM ALL

Seriously I’ve been thinking about it for a while. First thing I sold was Preacher, an absolute classic everyone should have in their collection. I bought all 9 books as book 9 came out, 20 years ago. It’s at least ten years since I read it. £50 and a foot of space weighed against the tiny chance I one day want to read it again? Okay then.

Scalped was definitely the trigger though.

A lady living in Brighton disagrees with you to the tune of fifty pounds, but even without having read it for years I am pretty certain it has aged very badly.

Edit: five volumes of Batman No Man’s Land just sold for £35. At this rate I will clear a full shelf by Christmas and might make up to a hundred pounds!

I’ve just finished Invincible - £100 for all three volumes and I reckon I can flip it for 4/5ths of that in about five minutes. I definitely prefer this to waiting months for a book that might never come out. Anyone suggest any other hefty, standalone, completed series I might try? I have Walking Dead and a lot of classic Vertigo stuff already.

I have given half a dozen books to charity shops after they arrange scuffed/dented from Amazon, I demand a replacement, and then refuse to ship the other one back to them instead insisting that they come and get it if they want it. Every single time they end up saying just keep it, and I give it away. You just have to say no I'm not printing labels, no I'm not going to the post office, you can fetch it any time you like. Rarely takes more than a couple of minutes.
