Housekeeping: Jumping Bendis on a pogo stick! Marvel just dropped a 5K item holiday sale that ends next Monday and the silly thing is as unorganized as you could possibly imagine. We’re probably going to need a few posts to organize it for you. i.e. – yes, we might be the only ones who care about your shopping experience.

We’re going to start out with what’s proven to be the burning question annually – What’s new in the three major Marvel Holiday Sales this year? WARNING – this is absolutely not the annual Omnibus/Masterworks/Epics sale as we’re used to seeing it and not everything that’s been released in the last year is discounted.  Will those annual sales pop in their proper form? We haven’t a clue. Marvel has changed how they do sales in the last few months. (Seriously, no Comixology/Amazon Black Friday sale? That’s new and not a change for the better, either.)

First, the official holiday sale link:

Marvel Holiday Sale – Ends 12/08

What’s New in Omnibus Sales?

Fall Of The House Of X / Rise Of The Powers Of X Omnibus  Namor The Sub-Mariner Omnibus  Spectacular Spider-Man By Dematteis & Buscema Omnibus

Omnibi that were not discounted in last year’s sale:

What’s New in Epic Collection Sales?

Micronauts Epic Collection: The Original Marvel Years - They Came From Inner Space  Rom Epic Collection: The Original Marvel Years  Young Avengers Modern Era Epic Collection: Dark Reign

These aren’t necessarily the best Epic prices we’ve ever seen, HOWEVER, there’s actually a discount on a Micronauts and a Rom. Rare occurrences, that. If those titles are your sweet spot, take note of that. Here’s what wasn’t in last year’s sale.

What’s New in Masterworks Sales?

Incredible Hulk Vol. 19 Masterworks  Man-Thing Masterworks  Uncanny X-Men Masterworks

And here’s what’s new since last year’s sale in Masterworks.

To be continued…

Unannounced Sales

Blacksad  Money Shot  Scarlet

As always, we really don’t know how long these will last.

Dark Horse appears to have an unannounced Black Friday sale. They have a LOT of their collected editions on sale, but not the newest material and not the single issues.  Here’s a link that will *eventually* get you through their catalog in a very laborious way and with the single issues mixed in. (It’s not perfect, but we’re trying.)

Here are some direct links to various series:

Recommendations? Sure.

Scarlet by Bendis and Alex Maleev is a political thriller about a Portland woman rebelling against a corrupt police department/government. Bendis back in his original pre-capes Thriller mode and it might be having a Long Tail moment right now.

Nexus by Mike Baron & Steve Rude – It looks like a superhero comic, but it’s a science fiction epic about a man appointed as the executioner of mass murderers. A job he doesn’t want and can’t escape.

B.P.R.D. (mostly) by Mike Mignola / John Arcudi / Guy Davis is not as widely read as Hellboy, but it’s the real backbone of the Hellboy universe’s story.

Blacksad by by Juan Diaz Canales / Juanjo Guarnido is very good detective series in the Raymond Chandler tradition… except the characters are anthropomorphic. Nothing “kiddie” about it and the art is as good as it gets.
