Re: How to buy (printed) comics

Yup. Waid's work is sold in six softcovers, numbered 1-6, and 3 hardcovers (that each contain two of the softcovers.). Are you from the US or...?

Oh, that's awesome! And so much easier than I thought. Thank you so much. I can try to get the hardcovers then. Are they the oversized hardcovers? It looks like there are five.

I live in Australia :]

DA: As a fellow Aussie also trying to get Waid's run I can tell you your best bet is to one go to your local comic book shop/book shop (the bigger, the better) where, if you have an idea of what you want, they'll be able to help you order it in. Or even help you find it. But this'll be more pricey than your second option which is to order online at the Book Depository (https://www.bookdepository.com/) where the books will be cheaper and the shipping is free but it'll take anything up to a month to get here.

Also you really have to know what you want on that site but, from memory, I think they have at least all the soft covers of Waid's runs.

Hope that helps!

Yay, hello fellow Aussie! omg, thank you heaps. It didn't even occur to me to go to Book Depository. I love that site so much. I was gonna go scour all 2 comic shops I know, hahah. <3

Hi! You're welcome! I usually go there first because cheap books. And free shipping.

Two?? You're so lucky!!! There's only one in my city and it's about the only one around for ages... the next closest is in Sydney.

Good luck!

Oh, wow! Damn, Australia needs more comic book shops (actually, book shops in general :'( I miss the days of Borders.) Thank god for online shopping.

It really does. (Oh man yes. We've only recently got a book shop back in town - after our Angus and Robertson closed there just wasn't one in town, you went to Sydney or to a place like Big W...). Online shopping has gotten me so many books.

Ouch, that sucks. Big W does not exactly have a great book selection, does it? D: I would've died, probably. Online is great but there's just something different about being able to browse and buy stuff straight away (and not wait for shipping! lol). Glad you have a new shop now.

It really doesn't. Popular books and their cheaper knock offs plus more self help books than one person could possibly read. It does have a different feel, something more solid than online.

We also have a comic book shop now so it's all looking up. =)
