 Hey everybody, welcome to another exciting episode, another edition of A Week in Geekdom, and you know what time it is because, well, technically you already saw the title of the video, Graphic Collection Time. So let's go ahead and give you a tour of all the crazy books that are behind me and all that fabulous comic book collecting, and I am going to include some manga as well, because yeah, why the heck not. So my graphic novel slash manga collection tour video for 2019, let's do it. You know, it's a little random, but I do have to begin the video with this intricate artistic stack of books. Basically the first one is the art of the Aquaman movie, then is the ballpoint beauties from Frank Cho, the Stanley Romeo Juliet adaptation, and what the heck is this book? Anatomy of the Meta-Human, the Onipres Kaijumax deluxe edition hardcover, Sky Doll Volume 4, something like that, yeah, Sky Doll, and the Fantastic Four Behold Galactus Super Duper Gigantic edition, and some Japanese inspired displays, you know, with Gundam, Astro Boy, you got Franky over there, Godzilla, Revotech, the Random Groot, just, you know, just chilling. Here is my Frank Cho Wonder Woman statue, the Sideshow Aquaman, Mesko Hellboy figures, my favorite action figures right there, and next up a bunch of video game statues, figurines or whatever. Here we have Link, Connor from Assassin's Creed III, Injustice Wonder Woman versus Batman, Aloy, Liara from Kuribukiya, Mass Effect, my two Overwatch statues, Tracer, Mercy, and of course, Chunli, one of my favorite fighting games of all time, Street Fighter. So yeah, let's get into the books, shall we? All right, so let's begin with my favorite part, the manga section. It's divided into the following four cubes in this Calak shelf, and another separate one that I'm going to show off at the end of the video. But yeah, we start off with one of my favorite manga series of all time, Berserk. I absolutely love it, and as you can see, I am getting the deluxe editions and upgrading them as they come out. So we have up to Volume 39, Volume 40. It hasn't arrived for me as of this video, so just imagine a Volume 40 right there. Next up, this is a shared cube with three series that I like. Let me move this guy out of the way. What we have here is that time I got reincarnated as a slime from Kadansha Comics. We've got the Ancient Magus's Bride, Vol. 1 through 10. Over there, you got all six volumes complete of Spirit Circle. The first volume of Monster Infirmary. Here we get into my Shonen collection, basically Shonen Jump series. We got My Hero Academia, Volumes. Well, you can see, let me move these guys out of the way. From Volume 1 all the way up to Volume 20. And over here, three of my favorite manga and shows with their anime adaptations. We got Demon Slayer, Dr. Stone, and Hunter Hunter. So yeah, those four cubes are like my ongoing collected manga, if you will. So yeah, one quick look over here with Berserk over there at the beginning. So we move on to non-big two comics that I really, really fricking like. And this is in my top 10 comics of all time. It is Mike Pinoa's Hellboy. I do have those, but you know, Other Tales is fine. But the other ones, like the 1950s series, I'm kind of waiting to see if they put out the hard covers. So I never bothered getting the rest of them. So they're just sitting there a couple pops. Over here is the other world from the Mignolaverse. We got BPRD, Abe's Safety Inn over there. And of course, that's Plague of Frogs, 1946 to 1948. Again, Lobster Johnson, I'm waiting to see if they ever put out a collected edition hardcover. Witchfinder, the same thing. There's an omnibus coming out. So I'm waiting for that instead of continuing the series on trades. Next one over here is mostly IDW. Well, everything's IDW here. But my favorite thing ever, it is the Teenage Ninja Turtles, the IDW hardcovers. Just fantastic. Here we have the first nine. I only have one Transformers book. I need to change that because I know the series is great. I just haven't collected anything. Over here, we also have the Lock and Key. Let me get this guy out of the way. The Lock and Key trade paperback slipcase edition. All in one hefty package. Falling for Lionheart, great indie title. And over here, I know these two figures don't make sense being here, but whatever. My valiant collection. I don't have a lot. These are the only trades I got, but the hardcovers are what you guys like, right? XL Man of War, Bloodshot, Harbinger, Archer and Armstrong, Quantum Unwoody, Ninjak, Rai, and 4001 AD. And over here with the trades, Divinity, Faith, Valiant, Armor Hunters, basically the events and the smaller series, Dr. Mirage, et cetera, et cetera. All right, we go down below to Marvel. And this is my Spider-Man cube. I used to have a lot more if you watched the previous videos, but I'm content with what I have. Basically, we take this out of the way so I can show you. Yeah. Here we have the amazing Spider-Man Obnibus, the first four, the Stanley and Ditko material, and John Bermida as well, and everybody else that was involved. And of course, the Roger Stern Obnibus, followed by the Strasinski run on the Ultimate Collection, or the Ultimate Collection, yeah, the Ultimate Collection trade paperbacks. Those are the first four. Over here, we continue with Marvel. Let's take this alias Obnibus out of the way. As you can see, amazing Spider-Man volume five of the Ultimate Collection. Only one brand new day. I used to have all the brand new day stuff. I only have this volume left. That is Spider-Man by Mark Miller. And just trades, lots of Marvel trades right there. Avengers, Angela, Black Widow, Exiles, Infinity Gauntlet, New Mutants, Red Hulk, the Jeff Parker stuff, Runaways. Then over here, this one's a little bit crowded. Let's take this out of the way, like a lot of collectibles like everybody else. One of my favorite Obnibuses of all time, the new Avengers Obnibus. I know we don't have more of them, but I still love this book so much. It means a lot to me. And one of my favorite events of all time, Secret Invasion, which is basically sort of a volume two. Just missing a few issues in between. We have more trades. Scarlet Witch, Secret Warriors from Hickman, She-Hulk, Silk, Spider-Man, Thanos, Immortal Iron Fist, Superior Foes of Spider-Man, Gwenpool, Ultimates, Uncanny Avengers, Yen Avengers, Vision, and the only Star Wars books I still own, the Darth Vader run and trades. Then we move on to the next shelf, which is very cosmic heavy. As you can see, the Cosmic Pops, if you will. Annihilation, Conquest, The War of Kings trilogy. Next to the first Avengers by Hickman Obnibus, Guardians of the Galaxy from Dugan, Infinity Wars, and Infinity Countdown, right? Let's see. Yeah. And Avengers No Surrender. Instead of continuing, because next would be DC, I'm going to go down below for another road of Marvel books. This is my Thor slash Inhumans shelf with more Pops. We got the Jason Aaron stuff, the two God of Thunders, the three Fimo Thor, Miss Marvel, the Inhumans, which I really love right there. So yeah, I think I, a memory serves me right. I think I have everything in Collected Edition. You got Origin of the Inhumans, then I see Stanley and Jack Kirby, then the Roy Thomas, Neil Adams, with the Beworthy Inhumans. You got it by Rite of Birth, then the Paul Jenkins stuff, and this crossover, then Inhumans from Charles Soul, Uncanny Inhumans, All New Inhumans, Karnak, Death of X, Inhumans versus X-Men, Royals, Ones and Future Kings, Black Bolt, and Death of the Inhumans. Might as well mention these guys, Axis, Hardcover, and Thanos by Donny Cates. Speaking of Cosmic and All Things Awesome, this is my fantastic Ford Cube at the Marvel Legends figures right there. These two omnies are the John Byrne Obnebuses, followed by Mark Wade, Jonathan Hickman, and the Silver Surfer slot Obnebus. And over here, Secret Wars from Jonathan Hickman. We move on to my favorite part of my Marvel collection, the Ultimate Universe, which I really love. This is Ultimate Spider-Man. I need to, let me get this out of the way, I need to get rid of those four books and upgrade to volume 11 of the Oversized. I never did it. So yeah, Ultimate Peter Parker and Miles Morales Obnebus with the crappy binding. Then we continue to Ultimate Fantastic Four, which bleeds into Ultimate X-Men. The Ultimates, Ultimate Comics, and Hickman was on it. Ultimate Comics X-Men. This, yeah, the Universal Horror monsters. I love these guys. Ultimate Comics Avengers Omnibus. That was my very first Omnibus, by the way. And then I also have Ultimate Comics Divided We Fall, United We Stand. All right, we are moving up to my Aquaman Cube. My favorite cube. Yeah, you know I was going to talk about it. Chronologically speaking, this is everything collected. The only thing I do not have that's in trades and stuff is the Death of a Prince, which is coming out in Deluxe Edition soon. And Sword of Atlantis, which is getting reprinted with more issues. I think I have everything. Right? The Search for Mira, Legend of Aquaman, The Atlantis Chronicles, the Peter David stuff, which, man, got canceled but volume two. What the heck?

Just five from Wolfman and Bettis, Teen Titans from Jeff Johns, and then the start of the Rebirth era. And then it crosses over to the Bat stuff. So we have Batgirl, the Stephanie Brown run, and then we have the New 52 post-Symone, because I'm waiting to see if they ever do an Omnibus for Batgirl New 52. That I would get, because I love that run. There's the Burnside Babs, that woman from Greg Rocco, which is getting, you know, we're getting a New 52 slash Elegy Omnibus. That's exciting. Speaking of Batman, that's the start of the Batman collection right there. The Killing Joke, Blux Edition, Hardcover, and then just a bunch of trades. Year one, basically the essentials. I don't have extensive runs on the character, just have like very famous storylines and stuff that I like.

These things can be a little bit pricey, especially when some of them go out of print, but fortunately they put them back in print, so that's great.
