i know youtube really doesn't like it when you swear within the first 30 seconds of a
video but this month i can't help it because my wallet is absolutely f-
WOOF WOOF! Hey guys, it's me Marcus aka the Maddogg and we're back with another video! It's
the beginning of the month which means it's time for my police don't worry whale watch is still
on its way it's just taking a little bit longer than usual so i thought i'd bring this one out
first and pull list is only possible because of the uncanny omar over at neiman condition as he
does a video each month where he talks about every book that's coming out in the unlikely event that
you haven't seen it already i'll leave a link in the description so that you can view the full list
and i am genuinely dreading this month because starting it off with the week of august 4th we've
got quite a few books that were pushed back from last month the first of which i was very eagerly
anticipating because it's the amazing spider-man by todd mcfarlane and david michelini omnibus i'm
not really going to dwell on this one too much because i did speak about this last month and i
think he even made it into my top five most wanted so it's still one that i've definitely got on the
radar but for me and i've said this before in whale watch that these reprints kind of need to
be a priority however i am still hoping that i can get this for about 50 pounds and admittedly i am
going to be buying this from the channel sponsor organic price books so why not treat yourself to
a book because i can't speak for everybody but you personally whoever is watching this
you kind of deserve it and they've got great packaging fast shipping and amazing customer
services and i know that they've already got some of the dc omnibus pre-orders listed on the website
so check them out there's probably guaranteed to be something that you like and if you use code
woof woof you'll get two dollars off your order and between you and me and it's probably going
to come in handy this month but you can use that code as many times as you like next up in another
pushback it's captain america by dan jurgens again yeah this is one that i was very excited for last
month i'm still excited for it this month it's just a shame that there's so many other good books
that are coming out that it has fallen a little bit down on the list i'm a big fan of captain
america and i like that he's getting a lot more love lately it's gonna make it very easy when i
eventually do a where to start captain america but again if i can pick this up for about 50 pounds
from organic price books and it's definitely gonna make its way into my collection and the last on
the bus for the week and it feels like i've been saying this boots coming out for new enough every
month that i've been doing poor list i genuinely feel like i've promoted my own discount code
less than i've said that this book is going to be on my pull list because of course
it's the wolverine omnibus volume 2. i really hope this doesn't get pushed back again because at this
point i feel like this is a bit of a myth of a book like i've budgeted about 60 pounds for this
and i think that each month that i've included this i've taken five pound off because i've been
getting more and more annoyed don't get me wrong it's better for you to be delayed than cancelled
altogether and yes i'm looking at you dc but still considering that some people have been waiting
over a decade for this book it's kind of ballsy of marvel to keep pushing it back i honestly wouldn't
be surprised at this point if he got pushed back again but yeah if i can get this for about 60
pounds then it needs to make its way into the dog pound next up in another pushback it feels like
that is pretty much the theme of this entire month because it's the usagiu jimbo volume 2.
still a bit annoyed at myself because i'm gonna have to pick up these paperbacks but still it's
a series that i do really want to read it made it into my list of the top 20 books that i've never
read and i'd recommend checking out that list a lot of people have had a good laugh at how limited
my reading experience is but still this is a book that i'm happy to bring into the collection and
i'm hoping that i can find it for about 20 pounds last up for this week i've got first degree a
crime anthology this is a bit of a blind buy but i saw that michael larks involved with it and it
looks like there's a lot of other creators and i really enjoy books like this it allows me to
be introduced to different creators that maybe i haven't tried any of their work before and i
do just like a good crime comic but if i'm being completely honest because of the fact that this is
a bit of a blind bite and it isn't such a massive title i probably am going to be putting this on
the back burner for a bit just because of the fact that from this week alone i've pretty much
already blown through my entire budget so if i can find this eventually for about 15 pounds then it's
something that i'm willing to take a risk on and as well what i like about anthologies is that it's
pretty much guaranteed that there's going to be at least one story that you enjoy i've never read
an anthology that i've hated every single story in except for that one that i had to have when i was
in high school when i was doing my gcses i don't know if this happened in every british school but
you remember that anthology that you just hated to the point where and this is just you know the kind
of level of school that i went to that we actually had a party at the end of the year where we just
burnt that book because we were fed up with it although i didn't go i didn't get invited but if
i was to buy every book that i wanted for the week of august 4th i would already be spending and yes
get the counter ready a staggering 195 pounds i wish i could just cut my month off early but going
into the week of august 11th we've got another big omnibus release with the x factor by peter david
volume 1. this is a bit of a blind bye i haven't really ever read too much x factor before except
when it's crossed over with other x-men titles but i do like peter david as a creator in some
of the other books of his that i've read in the past so i am willing to take a risk on this this
does seem to be a bit of a thinner omnibus and i am hoping that i can pick this up from organic
price books and i'm hoping that i can get it for about 50 pounds the only other book that i've got
for this week is another one that i'm very eagerly anticipating because it's blade of the immortal
the deluxe edition vol 3. yes yes of course i am not a manga guy but this is just a beautiful
looking series i thought this book could already come out so i am a bit annoyed because i thought
i'd already factored into my budget for this one but still i've been getting these darkhorse deluxe
editions for about 28 pounds and that's what i've budgeted it for this month so with that if i was
to buy the two books that i wanted for the week of august 11th i would be spending a mini staggering
78 pounds yeah i'm just saying it now in case one of you has a drinking game that you have
to take a shot every time i say staggering and fair warning it might be a staggering amount so
you might need a staggering amount of whatever staggering drink you shot in the week of august
18th and we've got one of my most anticipated books for this year i think it made it into the
first half but then it got pushed back a bit but it's the captain america by rick remender omnibus
i really enjoyed this run when it was coming out in single issues but i haven't really revisited it
since then and honestly i do not know which cover to get i really like the falcon cap because of the
fact that i don't think there's going to be too many other omnibuses that might feature him on
the front unless of course we've got some kind of sam wilson captain america omnibus but considering
that i'm not the biggest fan of john romita jr i love this standard edition cover but if i can get
this book for about 65 pounds then it's definitely gonna be one that i'll pick up on the first date
next up and it's another big omnibus that i really want because it's what if volume one this is one
of the marvel shows that i'm most excited for and i'm glad that we're getting omnibus to tie in with
it i might also have one of my special dumb videos planned next week so make sure you're looking out
for that one but this is another series that has some genuinely great covers i think i'm gonna go
with standard edition but no matter which one i picked up i'd be happy with and i am hoping that i
can get this for about 50 pounds last up for this week and finally a boot that's under 10 pounds
because i've got radiant black volume 1. this is one of those i'll get it if i can find it for the
right price because of the fact that i think that this might eventually get a deluxe edition which
by kyle hickens who wrote power rangers and have been told that this is pretty much like
mmpr crossed with invincible which is pretty much the equivalent to me of saying do you want to
watch terminator 2 whilst eating the fattest burrito that you've ever seen of course it's
something that i want why would i ever say no to that but the only reason like i said that i might
is if a deluxe edition might eventually come out so i'm kind of playing this one by ear it looks
like something that i would really enjoy and if i see this first trade paperback for about eight
pounds and i might pick it up i know that was a really strong vote of confidence there but in
another week that's just absolutely molesting me while if i was to buy every book that i wanted for
the price that i wanted to pay for it i would be spending another staggering amount of 123 pounds
okay so moving into the last week of august 25th and god help me with this one because i'm good and
needy because starting it off actually it's quite lucky i've got a bit of a maybe it's a cosmic
ghost rider omnibus now this is something that i recently did a video on talking about if it double
dips or what you can find those books in and ever since reading that i realized that i don't really
need this book especially with everything else that's coming out this month because fair warning
my total for this week alone is greater than some of the grand totals for previous months and if you
watch my recent haul you know that i can't afford to spend that much money because of the fact that
you know [ __ ] happens but still if i did find the cosmic ghost rider on the bus for about 40
pounds then i would be tempted to pick it up next up in a book that i am very excited to see coming
out but at the same time it's still snuck up on me but we've got the daredevil by charles sol omnibus
daredevil is my favorite marvel superhero i've loved talking about him in the past and i hope
that i get to talk about him in the future in this charles soul run i think might have been the point
where i actually jumped out of reading single issues so i've got every daredevil on the bus
so far and it's nice that i can continue to add to that collection and i do hope that eventually
we see zadarski on the bus i wish it was coming out in any other month because i'm willing to
pay a little bit more for this book because of the fact that i want it so much so if i see this
for about 70 pounds and it's definitely making its way into the dog pound again another omnibus and
one that has been pushed back quite a few times now but we've got empire i'm really liking these
event on the buses and i know that some people aren't big into them but at the end of the day
it's my money that i'm spending and i want this book because of the fact that i've heard that
some people have said that this isn't really a good omnibus but i'm one of those that i look
at them as popcorn flicks you know i'm just there to have a good time i'm not expecting it to change
my life or to really change the dynamic of how i read comics this is a very whammy boy indeed
so if i can find this for about 70 pounds then it's something that i'd be happy to bring into
my collection after that it's the fourth on the bus and yes i strategically placed this
one because it's fantastic for volume four this is one of the only silverage titles that i'm picking
up and i'm probably going to have to trade in the volume one because of the fact that i reckon that
the spine is going to be different on that restock that comes out later this year but still i'm glad
that this exists and rounds out the stan lee and jack kirby run and i think both of these covers
are really great and i'll be happy with whichever one i pick up given the cover price if i see this
one for about 55 pounds and it's definitely going to be one that i'll pick up but i am calling this
now every omnibus that's been released this week will not be released some of these are definitely
going to be pushed back like i haven't even finished saying the omnibuses that i'm planning
on picking up this week but i still don't think that all of these are going to come out
i just can't see it happening and the next book that i'm planning on picking up is one that i do
think will be pushed back to september because it's called the destroyer but i recently picked
up colder savage thanks to organic price books and it is a character that i'm interested in because
of the fact that i love this conan universe these books are coming out thick and fast and there's
no real time to catch up on them so i think for me it's best that i do just get them as soon as they
come out so again if i can find this for about 55 pounds and it's definitely gonna make its way into
the dog pound and the last on the bus for this week and one that i do think will get delayed is
the spider-man by todd mcfarlane quite a slim boot and he is a reprint and the reason why i think
this might get pushed back is because of the fact that the michelini and mcfarland omnibus has been
pushed back so it's clear that they are willing to do that even though this is quite a high caliber
release still it's one that i do want because of the fact that todd mcfarlane's such a prolific
creator and i don't really have too many of his books so this is one that i'm not gonna let slip
through my fingers a second time and if i can get this for 40 pounds because of the fact that it is
a bit slimmer then i'd be happy with that and i'd be even more happy with that if he did come out
in september because of the fact that there's just so many books that are coming out next up another
highly anticipated release for myself but i've got the fables compendium volume 3. i think this might
be the only dc boot that i'm planning on picking up this month and it's not even technically dc
it's for you to go like i feel like that old man who won't change his ways because of the fact that
i don't acknowledge vertigo with dc it's always gonna be there to go in my head and that's what
i'm classing this book as but i've already got the first two volumes of this i like that they've
already solicited volume four and i do hope that that comes out soon rather than later i'm praying
as well that dc doesn't do a dc and either cancel this or change the spine design because of the
fact that it's got a matching image like honestly i can't even tell you how much that would piss me
off but the previous releases i've got for about 30 pounds and that's what i'm budgeting for
this one and yet this month isn't over just yet because we've got berserk deluxe edition volume 8.
i'm still glad that darkhorse is bringing these out because i do think that that is the best way
to honor this series that i know a lot of people love i personally haven't even read it yet and i
think that it's great that they brought these out because it makes it accessible to someone
like myself and eventually when all of these come out even if it's a good couple of years
from now i am looking forward to binging the entire series it's just a shame picking these
up knowing that it's never gonna have its true ending from its original creator even if he has
left notes for somebody else to realize his vision it's not really gonna be the same as
if he was doing it himself and i think even the stories about how hard he works makes it that i
do really want to honor this series and read it one day so i'm definitely going to be picking
this up and if i can find it for about that 28 pounds that i've paid for the rest of the series
it's definitely going to make its way into the collection after that we've got rick remender's
low volume 2. this is the deluxe edition book that comes in the remainder format and i'm looking
forward to this being released and i managed to pick up volume 1 last year but i haven't really
cracked it open yet because of the fact that i did want to read it all together i also really love
the art in this and i'm looking forward to seeing where this series goes because would recommend it
i feel like he's very hit or miss and his hits are amazing hits that i really enjoy like fear agent
or you can also do stuff like tokyo ghost but i can appreciate the work that went into it but
it just felt like it wasn't for me still if i can get this second and final volume for about
30 pounds and it's something that's going to be making its way into the dog pound the last two
books for this month are kind of blind guys but the first one that i've got is 1984 the graphic
novel this is one of the only books i remember reading in high school that i actually enjoyed
but it's been a good couple of years since i revisited it unfortunately now due to the
channel and how many comics i have to read and the fact that i've got a full-time job and a mortgage
and pretty much no free time it's very difficult for me to read full novels it is something that i
do want to get back into and hopefully this is one of those ways of bridging that gap so if i find
this for about 12 pounds and it's something that's going to be making its way into my collection and
the last book again is a bit of a blind bible it's the victories omnibus by michael avenomi
i love powers it was one of the first series that i ever read and i like omin's unique art style but
still i do realize that i need to push out the boat a little bit more and read some more indie
titles and get away from the big two publishers and i think this is one of those books that i
probably should take a risk on because of the fact that i know that he's a creator that i enjoy
and given the cover price if i can find this for about 15 pounds and it's something that i'm
willing to take a risk on so i'm dreading saying this but if i was to buy every book that i wanted
for the week of august 25th i would be spending a staggering 445 pounds oh as well in case anybody
was wondering there's no dc books that have been released on august 31st that i'm really interested
in so that's not going to make it into this video but before we jump into my grand total we have to
do my top 5 picks of the month it should be very obvious if you've watched my last hold that i am
not going to be spending this much on comics but still i like to have it that if i could only get
five which ones would it be and it's very marvel heavy this month because i've got what if
volume one spider-man by todd mcfarlane the only non-marvel boot to make it into this list because
it's low volume 2 captain america by rick monday and these are never normally in any particular
order but taking the number one spot is of course gonna be daredevil by charles soule so without
further delay and it pains me to say this but if i was to buy every book that i wanted in the
month of august i would be spending an absolutely staggering amount of 841 pounds that's not gonna
happen and that's the reason why i do pull this because it's so easy to get carried away when
these big releases come out that maybe you didn't realize the budget that you actually had i'm
not ashamed to say this but i don't have a great budget in august and i need to make sure that i'm
budgeting sensibly so i'm really hoping that every publisher has like a september solidarity and just
prints nothing so that i can catch up but that's probably not likely to happen but it's still just
great seeing a lot of these books coming out and like i said i get the feeling that some of those
marvel omnibuses especially in the last week are probably gonna get delayed but i want to
know what are you picking up this august and is it as catastrophic as a month for you as it is
for myself we're also going to have a discussion over on a reddit page or slash mad.comic community
