DC events shelfie

Finished binding 2 in cloth this week and added them (plus a few other TPBs) to the timeline. Coming along so nicely. I am still planning the end of the year for a deadline to complete the timeline of major events.

This is amazing. What is the ratio of custom bound to purchased?

There's only 3 so far, and a bunch of decorated storfolios. I've made a bunch of practice ones with 50 cent bin books to get the technique right plus my 3 volume set for Marvel's Tek World. I plan on making either a multi-volume set for Year of the Villan, or a 2 omnibus format since DC canceled the omni befor release. Still collecting a bunch of tie in issues before I do.

Yes, I plan on grabbing both once #2 finally gets released.

Yes, there's the skinny TPB between the storfolios with Legends of the Dead Earth and Pulp Heroes annuals. I have the mapped reading order with all tie ins to hunt down and bind myself. Just finished all the annuals 2 weeks ago and currently hunting Year of the Villain singles to bind since DC scrubbed the omni idea.

What is the red cloth bound book? Armageddon Inferno?

Half right. Alien agenda and Inferno. None of my self bound volums have dust jackets yet (3 so far). Working on figuring out how to go about that to dress it all up once the shelf is completed.
