Seems like once these delieveries hit Dieppe they get delayed for some reason. The might just have a high load of deliveries. But the message says that it's delayed due to weather or natural disaster. I guess if you don't get the last book today then you'll get it on Monday, @SatanIsMyMotor
Thank you Santa for Black Science, Rat Queens, Sex Criminals and Boneyard! All look awesome can't wait to read em! Reveal thyself!
'TWAS I!
I wanted to mostly stick to your wishlist, but Boneyard's one of those comics I push into people's hands at every opportunity. Though, I'm pretty sure I ordered the black and white version, because that color version looks infinitely worse. So, that's a bummer.
Hope you dig it, though!
Image is certainly enjoying a good showing in this year's Secret Santa.
Shipped! Should arrive Xmas eve. @grifter ? Not sure your the one to ask but can some one make sure to ask the mods to add us to the holiday hangout. We got left out last year.
So, I wanted to confirm that I did ship out my present. Unfortunately, it won't get there until Monday. I do apologize for this. Perhaps you can think of it as time-delay Christmas? You thought that Christmas was over, presents were done, and then boom, more presents.

Thanks dude, I'm stoked. That Mobile Suit Gundam hardcover's gorgeous, and I can't wait to dig into it. Giant robots are woefully underrepresented on my book shelf. And I've always wanted to mess around with model kits, but never picked one up. So that'll be a fun project for this weekend.
The miniatures you sent aren't pictured, as they're currently guarding my desk at work.

My gift arrived today but there was no note in it from Amazon.
So to the secret shining knight who sent me the Black Beetle HC, Manifest Destiny vol. 1, Loki Agent of Asgard vol. 1 & Federal Bureau of Physics vol. 1:
I say thank you very much, you went 4 for 4 and I can't wait to sit down and read them all!
I was surprised I liked Boneyard, at first flip through the art was a bit different from most my other titles, but it was a great read I'll look to get more of. Thanks again @Munch
Fear Agent was a hard book to read later on in the series as it was coming out. Remender and Moore kinda used the book to just do fun stuff that they enjoyed so it kinda goes all over the place.

I'm glad you liked it, and I'll take all the accolades, but the dark, secret truth is that I didn't put thaaat much thought into it. It was pretty much: Some stuff you've got on your wish list, some stuff I want everyone to read, and a thing off my shelf.
Defenders of the realm! You have all done your promised duty; you have all brought festive gifts to the doorsteps of your comrades, and with them joy to their hearts. Together we have withstood the chilly onslaught of the Sheeda. The world is safe for one more year. I go now to soothe my weariness in the Cauldron of Rebirth, and bid you all a thank you and farewell.
Oh, in case anyone is curious about what I got @Nogs, it was:
- East of West, vol 3 and The Wicked + The Divine, vol 1 - Because both of these were on his wishlist, but also because they are excellent, and among my all-time favorites, and honestly I might have gifted them even if they weren't on the wishlist.
- Daytripper - Because it's emotional and beautiful and hit me right in the heart when I read it. I think I've given it as part of the Secret Santa gift every time since I read it; that how highly I regard it.
- Umbrella Academy: Apocalypse Suite - Because I think it's an excellent series, and I'm not sure if it's as well-known as it deserves to be. The characters are all super-solid, the story manages to simultaneously be over-the-top-comic-booky and down-to-earth, and I love Gabriel Ba's art. I think the series is a little bit like a darker Fantastic Four: family can help you get through the troubles as much as it can cause them, and sometimes things don't work out as well as you'd like.
- Lego Ideas Exosuit - Because I got a little overzealous and greedy when this thing first went on sale, clicked the button one too many times, and ended up with four copies of the set. My wife suggested that I could give one of them as part of my Secret Santa gift, and I thought that was an excellent idea (and also made me look a little less greedy :whistle:)

Saga was a great second read in the series and I'm definitely going to pick up the rest of the available books.
East of West is getting interesting and I'm looking forward to learning more of what is going on with this damn story.
Rat Queens is a really fun book and I thoroughly enjoyed reading every bit of it.
I started reading Black Widow and I'm looking forward to Hawkeye too.
I also bought Wicked & Divine vol.1 and Black Sciens vol.1 and both of those books are awesome if you haven't read them yet.
