I agree, except I found the Babadook portions scary, but I'm weak to anything scary in general. IMO, the movie is longer than it needed to be. Most of the first half could have been condensed and made into a more streamlined experience.
I was planning to pick up the first IDW hardcover volume when it came out. I haven't read the series prior so it'll be my first foray into it. Your post has me a little worried. I'm tempted to google what you're referencing.
Read the lasts few posts by Matt Young in regard to the discussion. That's how I feel about it. Being a CBR member, you see these types of discussions pop up almost daily. They usually last a day or two before getting locked.
As someone who has never read a Dredd comic in his life I found it...
I'm glad it showed up Matt. I have yet to order anything this year. I highly doubt I'll have much of a budget in 2015 for comics. The good news is that I have a pretty big backlog to get through.
My brother picked up the hardcover set for himself during Christmas at Costco on the cheap...
Matt, I'm sorry to hear you're having so much trouble with IST's CS. Considering I recommended them to you I feel bad about the situation your in. Hopefully time will resolve this issue. Unfortunately, IST is a pretty small business that runs on a small margin of profit and a small staff, but...
Don't give up. There's no reason this matter shouldn't be resolved properly. They're a good site, but mistakes occur. I'm not sure how long they take to respond to an email, but they usually don't take more than a day or two to respond to one of my inquiries. If you have any trouble getting...
Saw it as well. Not a fan of the staged/scripted nature of the show, but the tidbits of comic book culture history are great. A show about nothing but that would be great.
Glad we could be of help Matt. I would also like to share a nice little trick a member on another forum shared with us. I tried this myself just to confirm it works.
If the 2% discount isn't currently active on your account, you can activate it by purchasing a gift certificate from IST in any...
Tusk - 2.5/5 - An interesting movie. The reveal of the walrus gave me shivers. It took me a few minutes to figure out who the actor playing the former detective is. Didn't love it, didn't hate it. I'll always watch a Kevin Smith film. He makes what he wants and that's fine.
Ironclad...
I would imagine it's just lack of stock. IST won't list a book unless it's in-stock or available for re-order. If a few searches doesn't turn up what you want then it's safe to assume it's not available on IST.
Lord help me, but I love that show lol. I was a fan of the original show when it...
Sure. IST also has the random sales going on through out the year. The scrolling banners at the top show what's currently on sale. A few new releases get a 50% discount on week of release; I'm not sure which publishers qualify.
I really need to watch The Babadook. Planning to view Tusk this week. Has anyone seen Ironclad? It came out a few years ago. I was really surprised by how well it was made. I'm planning to try the sequel, which I hear is horrible.
You should check out sites like InStockTrades, which I use for most of my HC or TPB purchases. I'm also a little familiar with CheapGraphicNovels. There are other sites, but I wouldn't feel comfortable mentioning anything I haven't used more than once, even if they are good sites.

Can you inform me how it compares in price to the alternatives? I don't pick up singles myself so I'm not sure if this new direct-buy deal is smart or not. I guess the main positive as a buyer, is that your money is most likely going straight to the company itself.
