Description
Edit: added a book jacket! All is right again
Edit: 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

Mmmm, now that's good work. This is exactly what I love, both to make and look at. I like the cover, and I'm actually kind of jazzed that you know how to book bind too. ^.^ If it were me though, I would have scanned all the original comics and then assembled them as double sided pages on Photoshop, make them all the same size on their, then would have sent it to be professionally printed and bound. But you know, that's just me. Love the book. ^_^

LEGO should totally make something like this! They'd make a mint! I'd buy it in a heartbeat! Well done!

So wait, if you cut off parts of the comic pages, does't that mean there's some content missing? If some pages were smaller than others why didn't you just scan them and print them out on a double sided printer if you were going through this much trouble to make it?

Because then I would have to print out about 25 comic issues (All the new ones starting from Ignition are about a half inch shorter in height) And I don't feel like having to spend $100 to make a book...again.

Then what's the point if lines of dialog are missing.

Again, I wanted one big giant collected edition, not having it separate into two volumes where one would be shorter than the other.

Wow! Fantastic effort! You did a really clean job, and it looks amazing!
Seriously, I agree with warriorkt135 that this should be something to come available for purchase. Of course, it would be a pain for you to create more copies by hand, but it would have been amazing if the LEGO company had thought of this. :/
I'm currently trying to collect all the novels and all the comics. Is there still an active link where I can download that Ignition 6 comic?
