CCL Messageboard

I know most of you would frown upon selling off parts of your prised comic collection simply to buy Omnibus style books but that's what I've been doing. Strictly because of space requirements, ease of storing books on shelves, and comics cost a lot more than books. I also have been collecting the Valiant retailer incentive line and well even though i've been finding killer deals, still costs a bunch. That said, I've been unloading only certain parts only, nothing that I couldn't find again if I needed to.

Anyone out there recommend anything that I should definitely add to my collection? I realize a lot, if not most of the books listed above are Marvel. Only because I've been trying to read x-men related stuff.

And slightly off topic but does anyone know when volume 2 of The New Avengers will be released. I've been reading volume 1 and have been literally blown away, I can hardly put it down (even though the book weighs a ton), been an interesting read, especially some of the flashbacks to events that have happened throughout the lifetime of the Avengers, back to the original series. Any ways, I hope the book comes out soon, awesome read so far!

No idea about a release date, but Bendis did a great job on that series.

I have the Bone and Scud complete collections..both are great ready but freaking heavy.

I own Tomb of Dracula #3, Atlantis Attacks, Acts of Vengeance, and Evolutionary War from Marvel. I also own Plague of Frogs #1-3 from Dark Horse.
