Essential Marvel Two In One v3 (corrected copy) was finally finished last night. The good stuff I'd read in Rampage before. The rest .... not Marvels best work. Get if you've not got a complete Rampage collection at home.
E Marvel Team Up 3 showed up today. Lots of Byrne art and 5 issues of Mantlo madness. Win.

Thor v2 arrived this morning. I enjoyed v1 but this just left me cold. No idea why, really didn't float my boat.

I was overjoyed to see a HC of Hercules: Prince of Power yesterday, featuring the mini that was printed in Transformers. Also has the other mini, which I did not know had Recorder in it also! A future Amazon purchase though: no way am I paying inflated comic shop prices for that. £23? Fuck off, Diamond UK.
edit: Ah, once you add postage , not any cheaper from amazon. BOBBINS.

I stopped using the free postage option from amazon when they switched from using Royal Mail to Home Delivery Network. They failed to be able to deliver items six times in a row. I gave up after that.

Not had a problem here. Most of the single book Amazon stuff comes by Royal Mail anyway so maybe worth giving it another go ?

I tried the free delivery option service again when I moved. Once again, Home Delivery Network failed to deliver the item. That's why I pay for Royal Mail delivery: at least I know the item will actually turn up.
May depend on the area, but in Glasgow and surrounding areas HDN handle free postage deliveries for Amazon.

Esssential Marvel Team-Up v3 Why you should own this book: 5 Mantlo written issues and one Mantlo script. 3 Mantlo written issues drawn by Byrne. The first US appearance of Captain Britain. And what according to Comics Should Be Good is the second best Team up run of all time - Byrne/Claremont ! Best Essential of the year.

I take it one of the Mantlo issues is the Adam Warlock?

He writes the last Warlock story prior to the Avengers and Marvel Two In One annuals where Starlin had the cheek to kill him off for about 16 years.

I know. I keep looking at it, remembering that I have a £5 FPG voucher - and then forgetting to lift it when leaving the house.
This happens EVERY day.

December Marvel Trade Solicitations: www.newsarama.com/comics/090922-marvel-dec-09-solicitations-2.htmlWoo to the Iron Monger trade - can wait for pbk though. Enjoyed the Secret Warriors issues - you may want to peruse the trade. Thor: Ages of Thunder is well worth a look. For me I think it'll just be the Essential X-Factor - some b&w Art Adams in there - and Incredible Hercules volumes |

I have the two Art Adams issues of X-Factor. Damned good stuff.
I miss the days in the very early 90's when Marvel trades were a bit random. They could package those two issues with the sequel story in Excalibur drawn by Joe Mad (when he was a bit of an Art Adams clone) and have a nifty fun trade.

I still need to pick up vol 3 of the Death Of Cap storyline. One for when I'm employed! I look forward to it. What book is after that one then?
