Honestly, just in order of release! It's interesting to see the music journey they went on and how they got to where they are now. I wish I could be where you are now hearing all these things for the first time.

I can't really comment much on the story, but what I did was get a copy of the SSTB Book and a copy of the IKSSE:3 Book (keep in mind you might want to wait until this one is rereleased, like the SSTB Book was recently, hence why it's much cheaper). I just read those and got a subscription to the Good Apollo 1 comics which are currently being released. As far as the Afterman and YotBR books go, it's worth getting the physical copy of Afterman for the art alone, and there was a smaller CD version that has the book with it, and YotBR had a physical release... Buuut if you have a kindle it's worth getting the e version to save your wallet from becoming significantly lighter.

After you've listened to the albums, go onto YouTube and watch every live video you can find and then fall in love with Coheed all over again. Seriously. Delirium Trigger is a great song, but once you hear the live version, it becomes an amazing one. I highly recommend a good binge session for the Neverender live videos, and the Starland Ballroom videos are great, too.

Once you've become a bit more familiar with the music, watch this. It will blow your mind and catapult you further into the love of this band. It did with me, at least.

It's a Jensen JTA-230.

It's not the best but it's pretty good for a $50 player. It plays pretty well and doesn't have a bad sound.

I don't go to shows without ear plugs anymore. I invested in these and I absolutely love them. Don't listen to what anyone says, ear plugs are a fantastic way to protect your ears. And like /u/PresidentSuperDog said, they will make the music sound even better.

Hey man, I think there’s great potential there. Like the other guy said, quality and the timing getting messed up in Audacity were the worst but I think you’re on the right track and the bones of it are great. I record guitar and bass on my iPhone too and have come to REALLY love this. Cheap investment will make a world of difference.

My take on the Essential III is that you can get a whole lot more turn table for not a whole lot more money by getting a Debut Carbon. I think an Essential III is $350 and the Debut Carbon is easy to find for $400. 50 bucks more buys you a way better cart/stylus and an overall better build. No built in Pre-amp, but It's better to spend the extra $50 on a better table and get an external preamp or an amp with a built in phono-stage. If you don't want to throw a bunch of $$ on a preamp, you can get a decent enough one for very cheap

The only caveat is if you play a lot of 45rpm records. If you do, the Debut Carbon is a pain because you have to lift the platter to change the speed. Other than that, it's an amazing table. I don't really ever see myself upgrading from mine.

If you'd like, you can purchase the books for yourself! SSTB and IKSSE3 and Prequel YOTBR (Kindle Edition, They're on Amazon and other mass market retailers if said dealers are available to you)

Good Apollo: Volume 1: From Fear Through The Eyes of Madness is getting a re-do of it's original comic, which is quite difficult to get now, so I'd hold off, its coming soon. And No World For Tomorrow is also coming in comic form sometime after GA1.

And just for clarity's sake, it is posted in those resources but I figured I throw it here anyway, with all the prequels, the story's official order is as follows: The Afterman: Ascension, The Afterman: Descension, Year Of The Black Rainbow, Second Stage Turbine Blade, In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3, Good Apollo: Volume 1: From Fear Through The Eyes of Madness.Good Apollo: Volume 2: No World For Tomorrow. They're latest a;bum, The Color Before The Sun, is non-conceptual, based souly in their, namely Claudio's, life.

If you have any questions, feel free to post on here or PM me, we all love this stuff!

I'm baffled that I never see more than 2 or 3 other people wearing plugs at shows.

These are a good starter pair. If you have more coin to spare, I'd recommend getting custom fit.

https://www.amazon.com/Etymotic-Fidelity-Earplugs-ER20XS-Standard/dp/B00RM6Q9XW/ - if you search around amazon for this brand, you can find additional sizes, I've linked to standard fit.

Congrats on the new addition!

I know you can get a Kindle version of YOTBR on Amazon. You can get all of IKSSE:3 on comixology. As for the others, there's not really a medium to grab them online. Not great for SSTB, but Good Apollo (as previously stated) will be re-released soon. I've got a feeling that'll be released digital just like IKSSE:3.

Ahh i see, well since you seem to know what you're talking about, i saw this up for sale on amazon is this one the volumes you speak of or is it just issue #1? nothing in the description makes it clear really.

EDIT: Forgot to say, thanks for responding!

I got it for about £50 but I've been regularly checking eBay for a decent price. I think the easiest one to get is 'In Keeping Secrets'. You can read most of the comics in PDF form online but it's nice to have the hard copy around.

Yup, you found the first half! Here's Descension.

Oh, and the hardcover books on Amazon:

The Second Stage Turbine Blade: Ultimate Edition

In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth 3: Ultimate Edition

And here's a trailer for the IKSoSE3 book on youtube :3.

I can't vouch for how good of a story the books are, but I got both and they look very cool. I just started SSTB a while ago, so I don't have much to judge yet.

Thanks!

Is this what I want to get for Good Apollo? I know they're paperback but that's alright I suppose.

A few people were asking, it's this electroluminescent wire sewn onto denim with clear thread (so there's a battery pack). Relatively inexpensive but many hours of sewing.

Edit to add: I was inspired by this tutorial.

Okay I just found this on Amazon! I placed my order for it and the total was $43.89. Release date says August 15th, 2017.

Also, Boom Studios updated their listing and it now says "Awaiting new printing. Actual release date to be determined.".

The listed price is about half of the price on Amazon but you can't buy yet. I am definitely making this a bookmark and checking every day.

Unfortunately cancelling a pre-order with SRC only gives you store credit, not an actual refund. If /u/shoddydig/ already pre-ordered from there it is probably best for him to stick with it.

Sadly he probably already paid $29.99 + shipping when Amazon has it for $27.06 with free shipping: https://www.amazon.com/Good-Apollo-Burning-Star-One/dp/B071HGJMZ8/ref=sr_1_1_twi_lp__2?ie=UTF8&qid=1494941395&sr=8-1&keywords=good+apollo

Here's the Ultimate Editions of both Second Stage and In Keeping Secrets. Hope that helps!

Looks like Amazon has it for preorder as well.
Not sure if places like BestBuy will have it on release date.

It was nice meeting you too! Here is the shadow box I mentioned that you can mount your stick in. You can use these hooks to mount it. You might need to bend them with pliers to adjust them to fit the stick diameter.

>Kid Crazy Carlson thirsts for adventure in the far-off and bustling City of Ever. One day he meets a robot that warns him of the grumpy Kilowatt King that rules there―who forces people to sing for him. Despite the robot’s warning, Kid decides to make the voyage to the city and the two travel in a car made of bread through candy bar men, robot travelers, and dancing elephants to reach their destination. Finally, Kid stands before the sour King Kilowatt and teaches him a lesson in manners: the value of the word “please.”

You can get them with a custom-cut mat like that here. I'd probably just go with one of those, or search for "LP Frame with mat" and browse as you like!

You're on the right track! You want to find the Year of the Black Rainbow novel which is available on Kindle. People occasionally sell the actual book online too, but it was only in limited print. You might be able to get a Kindle app on your computer, phone, or iOS device if you don't actually have a Kindle.

You'll also want the In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 comics. That edition should cover all of them.

The Good Apollo graphic novel is going to be made defunct whenever Claudio starts releasing the new stuff he's been working on, but who knows how long that'll be. It's really rare and expensive, so I wouldn't recommend trying to get a hold of that.

Lastly, pick up the Afterman Deluxe Edition book. That's also a rare find, because it was in limited print, so if you can't find it, it has been transcribed by someone right here in /r/TheFence!

The Bag.On.Line Adventures - nearly impossible for physical copies, if I'm not mistaken. though, much of the content of those few issues (if not all) are recounted in the Amory Wars: SSTB issues.

Ultimate SSTB - [Amazon] (https://www.amazon.com/Amory-Wars-Keeping-Secrets-Ultimate-ebook/dp/B072DX4LWD). $70 + S&H (if applicable) for hardcover, ~$40 for paperback.

Ultimate IKSSE:3 - [Amazon] (https://www.amazon.com/Amory-Wars-Second-Turbine-Ultimate-ebook/dp/B071KW34DC). ~$65 for hardcover. doesn't appear paperback is available.

GA Vols. I, II, III - [Amazon] (https://www.amazon.com/Amory-Wars-Good-Apollo-Burning/dp/168415068X) (scroll down to "Frequently Bought Together") for a total of ~$32. Ultimate Edition is not out (yet?).

NWFT - not written yet. TBD.

YotBR - [Amazon] (https://www.amazon.com/Year-Black-Rainbow-Amory-Wars-ebook/dp/B006OUEBIC), $10 through Kindle. expect to pay upwards of $200 for a hardcover as it's not in print anymore.

Afterman: Asc. and Dsc. - physical editions on eBay/etc. maybe? I wouldn't hold your breath. this is more of a collector's edition kind of thing, sadly. though people do sell them from time to time.

Vaxis Vol. I - again, same as Afterman. that being said, some lovely person made a .pdf of the Vaxis book [here] (https://www.reddit.com/r/TheFence/comments/9ouuoy/i_made_a_pdf_out_of_the_scans_of_the_vaxis_1_book/). so there is hope out there.

hope this clears things up for ya!

That should hopefully be the Second Stage Turbine Blade Complete Set of comics. They are considered the first part in the story for the comics, seeing as Year of the Black Rainbow only has the novel and Afterman the coffee table booklet thing. Those you'll be hard pressed to find physically.

For all of the Amory Wars, the order goes

-The Afterman: Ascension and Descension coffee table book, comes with the Afterman Amory Award edition box set but is pretty expensive if you happen to find one on eBay. I think I paid $125 for the entire box set.

-The Year of the Black Rainbow novel by Sanchez and Peter David. Included in the YOTBR box set and is also quite expensive, but you can buy an eBook of it for like $10.

-The Second Stage Turbine Blade collection. You can find it here for about $30.

-In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 collection. Also here for about $30.

-Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV: Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness comics. No deluxe collection exists yet as they are still releasing them (I believe the 12th and final issue for GA1 is out next month), but they should release a collection some time next year I'm guessing

-Pre Production has started for the comics for Good Apollo Vol 2: No World For Tomorrow but no comics have been released of course

-Vaxis Act 1: The Unheavenly Creatures coffee table book to be released next month for those who preordered the box set of the upcoming album.

​

Of course if you just want to read the comics, start with SSTB and go from there.

that's not the first print ultimate edition. so maybe dont be aggressive toward people for no reason

I just checked on amazon what people had them listed at and cant help but laugh. Its gonna be a swift kick in the nuts to anyone who buys that shit if they ever reprint it or release a digital copy for like $30-50.
