Haul Around The World

Haul Around the World: Excalibur, Luke Cage, Monica Rambeau, & Punisher as an avenging angel!

November 4, 2019 by krisis Leave a Comment

It’s another Classic Collection version of Haul Around the World, shot BEFORE my big move! This was my order from mid-February 2019.

In this order I get to freak out with excitement over Marvel hitting a number of very different gaps in their color collections coverage – the end of Luke Cage’s original solo title, the post-Claremont pre-Davis gap in Excalibur, Monica Rambeau’s solo stories as Captain Marvel and the deeply weird Punisher: Revelations.

Plus… a tease of the next oversize book to hit my shelf, which might be my most-anticipated omnibus of the decade!

Your eyes do not deceive you – this video is a Classic Collection, since it was shot before my big move!

That’s because I’ve got a whole year of haul videos to catch up on, because this was my order from January 1, 2019. In this order I go deep on Marvel’s peculiar new strategy of following up ancient classic collections with new trades, plus talk up my Gambit binding projects, love of Moon Knights and Lumberjanes, and more!

Haul Around The World: Completing my shelf of oversize Uncanny X-Men with my least-favorite story…

May 8, 2019 by krisis Leave a Comment

When I was packing for my move from Philadelphia to Wellington there was one last book missing from my complete oversize Uncanny X-Men shelf, but I couldn’t bring myself to purchase it … because it already made me quit comics once before.

Haul Around The World: Wedding of Cyclops & Phoenix Oversized Hardcover

May 1, 2019 by krisis Leave a Comment

I unwrap the newest addition to my oversize hardcover X-Men collection – a copy of The Wedding of Cyclops & Phoenix! I make the case for why this book has the wrong title, talk about Sabretooth’s arc in the early 90s X-Men, and explain why this might be the best oversize collection for fans of X-Men: The Animated Series.

Haul Around The World: Mignola-Verse, Kelly Sue DeConnick, Kelly Thompson, & more!

The first “season” of my YouTube comics show is over, but it’s not like my monthly hauls of new collection editions are going to cease just because I’m simmering up some new content!

Welcome to “Haul Around The World,” where I unveil my most-recent package of collected comics shipped to Wellington from the shores of America (at least, I think they come via boat – that’s the only way to explain how long it takes them to get here).
