For trade collectors

[stormseye.livejournal.com]

Apparently Amazon is selling off Marvel trades and omnibuses for a fraction of what they usually are.

Books not out yet and ones that are valued at around $75 are all going for $14.99 or less a piece.

They've got Civil war stuff, Iron Man stuff, Captain America, Ultimates, Avengers Disassembled and so on.

They're apparently clearing stock so once things have sold out their gone.

EDIT Annnd it seems like it's all done now. Hope you ordered them because they're back up in price. From what I hear your prices are still the same if you ordered, but maybe it was a glitch? Or a 1 hour sale or something.

So what did everyone get?

EDIT AGAIN- Looks like Amazon is just canceling orders because it was a glitch D: Sad Pandas all around

Doesn't seem so... but terrifyingly, this stuff seems cheaper even including shipping.

I bought two books (that's all I can afford)

I regret nothing.

I bought... some... uh... I checked everything on Amazon.co.uk and it was all cheaper even with shipping. In the case of the omnibuses, considerably. Still couldn't force myself to buy the Death of Captain America omnibus, even for eight dollars.

...in other news, there's going to be a new release of Red Zone! And something called Avengers: Standoff which I have never heard of before but is about Thor answering the prayers of worshippers of his who live in a dictatorship, Iron Man trying to stop him, and Cap trying to referee! And and actual book called Iron Man/Captain America. Like, the book is titled that. Wow.

A new release of Red Zone *squee*

Nice! So will we get that here, then? Or should I just buy that in the US, too. How much is shipping (on average) I've people in the states I can beg to pop in the post for me, but how much is it on average?

Preorder details on amazon.co.uk say about £15; you can preorder for $15 from .com, but with shipping, might as well just wait.

Shipping seems to be almost half of cost if you buy a few. No idea is it could be done cheaper; the omnibuses are pretty heavy. I don't think there'll be duty to pay, as they're books.

Oooh, I love that storyline. That's the one where you find out that Thor's hammer is one of the few things capable of denting Steve's shield, and that Tony's voice was the first thing Steve heard when he woke up from the ice.

Apparently, the Iron Man/Captain America book is going to have a reprint of the "azure eyes" comic in it, among other things. I am trying to think of any way someone could decide that that issue belong among a compilation of vital moments in Steve and Tony's friendship that doesn't involve a deeply felt conviction on the compiler's part that they're gay for each other, and failing.

Given the title is basically the ship name? I'm finding it hard to believe anything else.

seanchai's reaction when she heard about it was "So, who on the comm got a job at Marvel and didn't tell us? Because this TPB pretty much solely exists to promote out ship."
