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.

SSTB has 10 issues that were put into the ultimate edition you have linked there

IKS has 12 issues that were also put into an ultimate edition, here, it looks like they might be having a reprint?

GA 1 has 12 issues (that I don't think have quite all release yet, but I might be wrong). Will likely be getting an ultimate edition too, as there is a collected version for the first 6 issues. Shitty thing for these was that I ordered the first six, and went to order 7-12 when they were available, but Merchnow decided it wasn't shipping to Canada anymore for some reason. Gotta hope for that ultimate edition

YOTBR has an actual novel. Not large amount of them printed though, but it's available as an e-book, which is how I read it. It's not bad

Everything else is from his previous attempt to make the comics come to life. The original two issues for SSTB are actually in the bonus pages of the ultimate edition, so that's cool. The original GA graphic novel is super confusing, hence them redoing it

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.

I'd say Start Here Credit to u/smoomoo31

Then to go more in depth, Go Here Credit to u/Sentry_the_Defiant

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.

Gotta start Em off young! Welcome little child of the fence!

As for the parent may I recommend to the Coheed and Cambria lullabies for the little one?

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.

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!

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.

Here's that Imgur album you were talking about:

That's true, I didn't even look at the release date on the amazon.com page. I would think the date would be the same, we'll have to wait and see.

If it isnt out next week I wont be shocked at all but I would think that it is going to come out sometime soon.

The ultimate editions are the same as the standard but harder to come by and more expensive. OP probably just wants the standard hardcovers.

I found a Keywork Decal (assuming thats what you are looking for) for 4 bucks on Amazon. You may have to search for related items but I believe there are white, black and red to chose from. I also went to the portland show a few months back, but after spending way too much money on the Box set, and tickets for myself and a buddy I didnt want to tempt myself by checking out the merch booth... what sort of stickers were there?

No clue why it isn't on the site, but if you're planning on catching up check out the trade paperbacks. Each one covers 4 issues of the comic.

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.

Your best bet might be to start with the two Ultimate Editions:
https://www.amazon.com/Amory-Wars-Second-Turbine-Ultimate-ebook/dp/B071KW34DC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1537406537&sr=8-1&keywords=amory+wars

https://www.amazon.com/Amory-Wars-Keeping-Secrets-Ultimate-ebook/dp/B072DX4LWD/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1537406537&sr=8-8&keywords=amory+wars

These two books tell the story of their first two albums, Second Stage Turbine Blade and In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3.
Outside of those two books, they've also released a deluxe edition of Year of the Black Rainbow and The Afterman, both of which contain books telling the stories of those albums. In total, there are four books each of which are available and contain an entire album's worth of story.

In Amory Wars story chronological order (Album release date in parentheses):

The Afterman (Ascension (2012) and Descension (2013)) - Full story available (Novel/picture book)

Year of the Black Rainbow (2010) - Full story available (Novel)

Second Stage (2002) - Full story available (Comics)

In Keeping Secrets (2003) - Full story available (Comics)

Good Apollo 1: Burning Star IV (2005) (Comics - in progress)

Good Apollo 2: No World for Tomorrow (2007) (No official literature yet)

The Unheavenly Creatures: Vaxis - Act 1 (2018)... (Will be included with deluxe edition)



TLDR: Start with the Ultimate editions. They're much easier to find right now, probably cheaper, and they're the traditional starting point. Also this post is a mess but I hope it makes sense. Coheed albums have jumped around on the core Amory Wars timeline. Two prequel albums (Afterman/YOTBR), 4 'core' albums, and now 1 sequel album (Unheavenly Creatures).

Note: The Color Before the Sun (2015) isn't a typical Coheed album and has no concept.

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.

there is hardcover and then there is ultimate edition. UE is cool with all the extras. Amazon has most of them. however i had to hit ebay for one of the UE. but verify in photos! one was sent to me and it was listed as hardcover but wasn’t. so check with the seller
