Bri, my order this month was crazy too. A lot caused by the giant HC collecting the first 25 issues of Captain America. Decided it was the one Marvel book I had been enjoying but not giving my money to. Most likely that's the way I'll continue getting the series. On top of that I'm continuing my purchase of each Marvel Classic figure mag. Even at the discount that's about $51 extra a month (assuming four new regular figs and one special collector's). But they are the best looking metal (lead) figures I've ever seen.
And thanks to you both for continuing the Army. To answer Des' question, I'd just gather up the trades and start picking up the floppies in August. I think if you grab trade # 7, scheduled for September, that will carry you through #41. #42 is scheduled to hit the stands in August. Assuming Kirkman keeps on track.

The Brubaker/Epting Cap Omnibus -is- sweet, especially at 50%off, but I already own the individual issues. As nice as the collection would be on my shelf, it would've pushed my bill decidedly past $200. The only CMFC I was interested in was Nova, though it looks like they're going with his current look...pass.
Hopefully, Image will have #25-36 collected in a V.3 hardcover by the time I finish up the first two!
Des, the trades are the way to go for the early TWD stuff... online stores either don't have it or want an arm & a leg for them. They're more reasonable when you get into the mid-20's range and up.

Mine quite a bit more.
I was bad in July. I need to cut back next month.

I've found that my comic reading time has gone far south since I started reading more novel type books, but I received a few of The Walking Dead TPBs last Christmas and I've enjoyed them (even though horror comics aren't my bag, baby). Kirkman is a very good writer. I love his Invincible too.

I'm just waiting for the next giant omnibus edition with the second 24 issues. That way I can look like Moses carrying the tablets. Only with zombies.

DCBS is making me wait for the first two HC collections, darn it! I was hoping they'd ship them before they started shipping the rest of my July order; I figured they'd have them in stock as IST implies. But I guess they keep the two businesses seperate, ergo the different accounts for ordering from each site.

I thought they were going to be fixing that soon. Could have sworn I got a note or saw a notice on DCBS that soon you'd be able to place IST orders through DCBS with the IST discount shipping.

With all this talk of trades and omnibuses (omnibusii?), I just felt it necessary to point out a new issue came out today.

Yikes! I guess I'll have to plough through Volume 2 pretty soon then! I've read everything up to maybe issue 40 or so, but I do like rereading those hardcovers when they come out. Not sure why it's taken me this long to get thru #2?
Where are the Legion DVD's? They came out today but don't show in next week's shipment. At least not mine.

That's right! I was so caught up in the TWD HC's I forgot the first LSH DVD is due out tomorrow.

Yeah... I thought about rereading the trade you sent me of the first six issues, then reading 13-24 in the second hardcover, but I don't want to spoil anything...
