That new-slab smell. :D Submitted these at Comicpalooza in May, arrived today. Many thanks to facilitator @Dork Buzz.

First off, some Venom-y goodness. True Believers: Venom - Lethal Protector, Venom: First Host (Shattered Comics Variant), & Marvel Classics (Mexico) Venom: Lethal Protector. I think I've got the reasonably achievable set knocked out; Red, Gold, Black (error), Silver (Italian), Foil (Mexico), Shattered, Venom Annual #1 Clayton Crain homage (x3), Kyle Willis (@Masochism) homage (x3). The only cover I'm missing is the white error, and I don't have the kind of income where its likely that book will end up in my collection. I might get a really good pencil & ink guy to do up a Venom blank in black & white; that's as close as I'll probably ever get. ;)

I've had the Predator #1 in my collection since I was ten years old, so I was surprised it came back in as nice a shape as it did. Even more surprised with the Predator #2. Not bad for reader copies, I'm happy as can be.

Probably going to be it for me for a little while. I took the rest of my 2019 comic budget and spent it on a shiny rock for my girlfriend; going to see if she likes it (and/or me) enough to stick around for...ever. Wish me luck!

Best of luck with the Shiny rock and your GF

Gettin' Paid, Gettin' Trades Volume 190,730:

  • Absolute Sandman Vol. 1
  • Absolute Sandman Vol. 2
  • Absolute Sandman Vol. 3
  • Absolute Sandman Vol. 4
  • Absolute Sandman Vol. 5
  • Absolute Sandman: Overture
  • Joker (Black Label)

Ooh, you'll like those, they are GORGEOUS books. Look so nice on the shelf together. I've never gotten around to picking up the Absolute Death volume, but it's the same sort of binding/dress. Lots of great reading and a beautiful set of books. Enjoy!

Yeah, I Googled the set to make sure they all had the same appearance (damn OCD), since Absolutes have varying book looks over the years. Glad they all look like they were printed in the same year! :)

They are reprinting Absolute Death sometime this year I think, so if you follow Instocktrades or the like you can nab it for around $50 when it comes out. I still haven’t got one either, or Overture.

@punksdropdirtysrh

Does Death heavily tie into the Sandman series? Is it a "must-own" if I'm looking to complete it?

Having not read it I’m not exactly sure, but I’d say it would be a must own if you’re a Sandman fan.
