Hi everyone, I decided to take my camera out today on this nice sunny, breezy day and figured I should take pictures of this newly discovered bookstore.

Without surprises, I decided to take a look at the graphic novel section and noticed this half hidden book. I read that Green Arrow is pretty solid and was curious, so I took a peak to decide whether or not this book was up to my taste. But, it kept getting weirder as I was looking at it. No barcodes. No paged dedicated to crediting those who worked on this project.

And then I realised by the pixelation of the arrows on the cover page, that this was a custom job!

So here I am, after spending 8$, looking to see if anyone knows anything about the comics listed on the custom introduction page to this project.

Thank you:)

Incredibly happy with how this one turned out and wanted to show off. A mother's Day gift for my mom, who is also a comic book nerd (the apple didn't fall far from the tree).

JLA/ Avengers I used the 4 issue PF single issues for this. Removed all the covers and DFAB the internal pages together. Made custom end pages and dustjackets that resembled the Absolute edition. Art on board.

Sluggish A 4-issue Australian comic miniseries backed on Kickstarter. Sewn binding & art on board.

Larfleeze Collects the 12-issue maxiseries, including the GL: Larfleeze X'mas Special #1. Sewn binding with art on board and dustjacket.

The Final Night Contains the 4-issue miniseries that came out in 1996, and all monthly titles that were affected and had the Final Night banner on the cover. Sewn binding with custom art on board and dustjacket.

Sinestro Collects the 4 volume TPBs, including the GL/ New Gods: Godhead TPB that the series crossed with. DFAB with art on board & dustjacket.

Joker: Last Laugh This one is a chonker! It contains over 30 issues; 6-issue miniseries that came out in 2001, incl. all monthly books that had the Last Laugh banner on the cover. Sewn binding with custom art on board and dustjacket.

This custom Omni is the first of three volumes containing every crossover issue for Witchblade and The Darkness with other comic book publishers/IPs. Marvel, DC, Dynamite, Chaos, etc.

This is my custom Darkminds omnibus that collects Darkminds, Neon Cyber, Darkminds vol. 2, Darkminds/Witchblade, Darkminds: Macropolis Vol. 1, and Darkminds Macropolis Vol. 2. The complete collection of the darkminds universe including #0s, #1/2s, and previews.

This big beauty contains every single of Weapon Zero and the complete Devil's Reign event with all tie ins!

Got these six books in from Capitol today.

1. JSA (1999–2000): Doctor Mid-Nite #1–3, All-Star Comics #1–2, Adventure Comics #1, All-American Comics #1, National Comics #1, Sensation Comics #1, Smash Comics #1, Star Spangled Comics #1, Thrilling Comics #1, JSA Secret Files #1, and JSA #1–6.
2. JSA (2000–01): JSA #7–25, JSA Annual #1, and the Johnny Sorrow story from Secret Origins of Super-Villains 80-Page Giant #1.
3. JSA (2001–02): JSA Secret Files #2 (except for the Chase story), JSA: Our Worlds at War #1, JSA #26–40, and the lead story (plus certain profile pages) from JLA/JSA Secret Files & Origins #1. That last is a direct lead-in to the OGN JLA/JSA: Virtue and Vice.
4. JSA (2002–03): JSA #41–51, JSA: All Stars #1–8, and Doctor Fate #1–5. All Stars has infamously been mismapped in every JSA collection DC has ever published except maybe the upcoming Compendium. It's hard to pin down precisely (I think to get the Stargirl name change right it technically needs to happen during "Princess of Darkness" which is impossible) but this is close enough.
5. JSA (2003–05): JSA #52–67 and Hawkman #23–25.
6. JSA (2005-06): JSA #68–87.

I'm planning to include Golden Age Secret Files #1 and some other more retro JSA material like JSA Strange Adventures that came out during this period in a companion volume.

Bonus realization: this set plus the two volumes of Justice Society of America (vol. 3) that I already had nicely fill an entire Kallax cube.

I've put together the books for the 2nd and 3rd volumes and will do the 1st once I finish collecting the floppies. I also plan to bind the Devil's Reign event as 2 volumes

I recently finished a 4-book set for a fellow member of this group. Covers, tables of contents, and endpapers. Some '90s bad-girl goodness!

This was a reversible bind I did of Aquaman/Green Arrow: Deep Target and Blue and Gold. When you finish one series you can flip the book over and start the next.
