Description
Edit: added a book jacket! All is right againEdit: well poop, i spelt compendium wrong on the cover. That's what i get for working so late. Wil have to design a book jacket to fix that or something...
Here it is, my baby. A handcut, sewn, and bound Bionicle comic collection
I started on this last year, looking for all the issues I was missing seeing as I started liking Bionicle around the time of the Mask of Light Movie. Then came all the atrocious stuff that I did that would make you guys want to kill me. I cut off parts of the first comics so that they would be the same size of the more recent ones, and also removed the staples and punch in holes for the thread. However, school came and this was left in storage until I finally got to it this summer. Got the web-exclusive Ignition 6 printed out and also a table of contents. Sewing took about 2 days, gluing and putting on the cover took today to do. All in all, I'm pretty satisfied and stoked (except for having to cut those part then my friends and family were asking why didn't I just make it into 2 volumes instead?

Progress pics can be seen here and I will upload more pictures of the final product later:

BTW, there are binderies/printshops out there that will bind your comic collection into books for a price and they would probably look wayyyy better than mine here, but it's my baby :3

I bought most of my comics from used bookstores and an online comicbook shop that keeps old issues mycomicshop.com
and I learned bookbinding from online sources and youtube.

You can also try to design an awesome slipcase if or not you decide to make it! would be a great way to store your comics if it's bound in a book or not!

Why are the end labels of those manga-looking books blurred?

CrunchbiteNuva In reply to luka1184 [2013-06-13 20:22:38 +0000 UTC]
Because those are slasher genre books, series called Hack/Slash

I don't get it... why do they have to be blurred if they're Hack/Slash books? Does it have to do with copyright infringement or something...?

You should try and sell the idea of the whole comic series into one book to Lego. I would definitely buy it... when it's on sale.

I tried comparing to other collected comic editions, if LEGO were to sell a Bionicle Collected Edition like this, it would run $60-70 depending on thickness

I don't know much about why Lego stopped the Bionicle line, but I'm pretty sure it was a mistake D: if only they'd made one of these...
