Did anyone that switched from print to digital have a hell of a time? It just feels weird to buy digital. I'm pulling the trigger on the new DC books, but man I still can't bring myself to pay $1.99 for Justice League Europe #1 when I can order the physical copy plus 29 other comics for $30 and get free shipping on that comic seller site.

Yeah, digital does feel like a huge ripoff.

Do you have evidence he reads them, or is this some collector/hardcore DC fanboy thing? If he actually reads them all, good lord :stare:

We talk about the books all the time so I assume he reads everything.


zoux posted:

I wonder if there are people out there, not in the industry, who have read everything one (or both!!!) of the big 2 has ever put out.

I knew a guy who obsessively bought every Marvel book printed. He had a complete collection of North America released Marvel comics from 1971-2009. 2009 is when I lost touch with him so I assume he has soldiered on.

That's gotta be worth a pretty penny, considering he's got...what, a complete collection of every Ultimate Universe comic ever printed, for starters?

Did he have every 90s variant? Because even though they were created for the sole purpose of being collected having every single one would actually be pretty loving rare.

I'm pretty sure he only bought the main covers in most cases. Current Marvel is probably driving him insane.

Tatum Girlparts posted:

man that's a genuinely really impressive form of obsession at least. Like on the 'oh man what's going on here' scale I for some reason rank that higher than a more narrow 'I own literally every Iron-Man product I can get my hands on'. I have no idea why though.

Also I'm just jealous of whatever living space that dude is in, that must at least dominate a good sized room.

When I met him he was a freelance software engineer and was loaded. He once brought in pictures of the house he built and the entire basement was shelved for comic storage with constant climate control and stuff. It was pretty swank.

Die Laughing posted:

Were you friends with Jeph Loeb? I'm pretty sure he has every Marvel book from some point in the seventies to current.

Didn't he sell a large chunk of that when his son got sick?

DrProsek posted:

I'm torn between being impressed with that level of completionism, and confused why someone would do that. It just sounds like that's going to lead to reading a lot of books he doesn't like and have no impact on the DC books he does like, purely because "they're DC, gotta know what's going on in Doomed".

Same thing with the Marvel guy.

I have no idea if Marvel guy (Paul maybe?) even read half of what he bought.

Rhyno, you better tell me it's not true that he sold some of his collection while his son was sick. Sam Loeb died while my mom had cancer. She got better, but it made me a huge Jeph Loeb apologist.

I don't know if it's 100% true but I think I read it was to cover expenses not covered by their insurance.

I just finished reading The Boys after I got it on a Humble Bundle sale, and there are three thoughts:

1) The edgy gross poo poo was horrible.

2) It was pretty funny reading a comic about how horrible collateral damage from superheroes is and how they shouldn't be allowed to do whatever they want just because they have superpowers (among other stuff) after seeing Civil War. (Even though Captain America would have definitely condemned the poo poo superheroes do in The Boys)

3) The last two arcs were amazing.

I bought the whole series without reading beyond #6 and I really don't love it. I have all 6 slipcased hardcovers I will probably be selling soon.
