Beware I bought it off eBay. :D

 

Though Amazon's rpices are pretty awesome IMO. In bookshops and comic shops graphic novels are always like £2-£4 too expensive to make me want to buy them, Amazon's got some at just below a fiver, most being £15 tops (and that's for the collections of 12 issues or so), until you get the specialist stuff and omnibuses.

It's all about the little sellers on amazon. I imagine they're the same as the guys on ebay.

Most of the ones I've looked at the sellers for, they're cheaper, but then with the P+P it's the same price if not more expensive. But that's not everyone obviously.

£12, am watching some classic stuff once more.

 

Thats now all 4 challenge DVD's and the 6 individual Great Adventure DVD's (packed into 3 box-sets).

Don't even judge me. Well do, if you want.

 

At least it's not Ultimates 3. Which I even know is bad. A-SBAR:TBW (I love) is hilarious (and I appreciate it far more than most seem to...).

 

Plus I'm loathe to buy things I don't know If I'll like. Image is tricksy for me.

All Star Batman and Ultimates 3 gave me about the same amount as pleasure.

 

Probably ASB even less because "JIM LEE IZ FUXING HAZXXXXX" :|

READ CHEW ASAP. Ghuh. If you don't obtain issue 1 by the end of today, then I will de-mote myself to associate producer on our Power Rangers Movie.

Well I'm not really a Jim Lee fanboy, I said when I first read ASB that I would have way preferred if Miller had illustrated it himself, and that I 100% believe the final product would work better as a whole if he had.

But then I've read up on him and his thoughts recently and I believe his using Lee was an active (artistic) statement...TDKSA was all bright and vibrant as a reaction to how the first one seemed to shape the tone of comics that came after it, he wanted to shift it back to ridiculous bad-assery or whatever. Or just make a statement about that.

I think that in All-Star, the prequel to both Dark Knights, he uses Lee so there is a disconnect between expectations of a Batman story and what is presented. Hush has become definitive Batman in recent years, and especially Lee's art. I think Miller is just playing with the notions of archetype and it all links quite nicely with Strikes Again.

 

It's not a hugely well-told story (so far) let's not lie, but I think people seem to miss the point as well.

Just the floor-standers for now though, will have to get the rest some other time (not enough monies).

All from AV Forums' Classifieds, cost me about £400 in total (which is pretty good considering the lot was worth over a grand when new). About another £250-£300 to go to get the rest of the speakers :hmm:

 

It's taken 3 hours to cable everything up so far and I'm not done yet. Still got 3 speakers to go. Then I've got to configure the amp. A lot of work considering I've no idea if it all sounds any good yet...

 

I'll post up some AV porn when I'm done (and no, ReZ, I don't mean what you're thinking. Dirty, disturbed boy :nono:)
