I'm assuming that you love your records and as such want to keep them in the best possible condition so you can enjoy them for years to come. With that assumption, I'm going to strongly urge you against taking VicTheButcher's advice. Crosley turntables are marketed towards people just getting into collecting vinyl. They use a proprietary ceramic cartridge with a heavy tonearm that will cause excessive wear and damage to your records. When looking for a turntable the general rule of thumb is to go vintage (actual vintage, not 5-in-1 combo stuff). I'm a huge fan of Technics turntables myself, but there are a lot of great brands out there. Head on over to /r/vinyl for some insight into what you should look for. If you aren't looking to spend a lot right now or want something to tide you over until you can afford a nicer setup, I would recommend an Audio-Technica LP-60, which is currently available for $89 on Amazon. It is a great introductory turntable and served me well until I upgraded. Also, check your local thrift shops for turntables and audio equipment, you would be surprised at what you can run across. I've seen a lot of setups put together for a fraction of what you would expect from people hitting up their local thrift stores. Trust me, once you get a decent setup it is all worth it.

There are a few places you could start: The Afterman, the Year of the Black Rainbow novel, or the Amory Wars Second Stage comics.

I'd recommend starting with the Amory Wars Second Stage comics. Keep in mind, you'll want The Amory Wars comics, since they tell the complete story for Second Stage and In Keeping Secrets so far. There's also The Bag.On.Line comics, which were only a couple of issues before they were scrapped. If you decide to pursue them for a collection, expect to pay a bit of money for them.

Following that, you can continue the Amory Wars into In Keeping Secrets.. That's the latest album that's been adapted for those comics, but Claudio is currently writing the Amory Wars versions of Good Apollo 1 and 2.

If you feel like getting a very brief and confusing telling of Good Apollo 1, there's an old graphic novel that was released for it. Again, though, it will run you a bit of money, and while the art style's cool, it doesn't convey the story well and is quite short. For the time being, you'll have better luck finding bits and pieces of the Good Apollo story clued together across the internet and interviews.

You can then go back to the Year of the Black Rainbow novel, which tells the story of Coheed and Cambria's creation. It's pretty self-contained, though it does have a few references that will stick out if you're familiar with the later story.

The Afterman is only loosely connected to the Amory Wars, as it takes place long before Year of the Black Rainbow and expands on some of the unexplained concepts of the universe. Deluxe editions of the album contained artwork and brief explanations of the songs by Claudio, and u/TheElitist921 scanned and uploaded the explanations on the sub. Here's his post for Ascension, and here's the link to Descension.

Happy reading!

Edit: Bonus! u/DefiantLion also gave a synopsis/interpretation of the story to My Brother's Blood Machine over at r/TheFence.

If you don't want to go through the monumental task of getting all of the comics, you can buy "Ultimate editions" of each series that has all of the comics from that story arc neatly packaged into one book. I went ahead and tracked them down on amazon for you.

  • Second Stage Turbine Blade
  • In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3

    Now, here's where it gets tricky. The Year of the Black Rainbow novel appears to be out of print, since I've only been able to locate ebook versions. The Good Apollo graphic novel is also incredibly hard to find, and if you do manage to find a copy you'll pay a pretty penny. That being said, it isn't even canon anymore so I wouldn't worry too much about it. I'm sure you can find pdf versions of both online though.

    Finally, for The Afterman, check smoo's post. That has everything you need. Happy hunting, and welcome to the Fence!

Second Stage Turbine Blade Ultimate Edition

In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 Ultimate Edition

That's the closest thing to a 'compendium' as you'll find. Also, Claudio did releases a Good Apollo Graphic Novel around the release of GA1, but it's not nearly as in-depth as SSTB or IKS as it was written/drawn/published on a severely small budget. It's going to be re-released in the future true to the format we know, though.

Almost forgot YotBR, but you'll have to go searching beyond Amazon for that, as all of the physical releases are sold out and the only thing left available is the Kindle edition.

Happy reading :)

Oh shit, yeah, you're right! Last time I checked someone was selling one for $20 so my brained just kinda latched on to that XD

As for In Keeping Secrets...

u/KlaudioKil · 0 pointsr/coheedandcambria

Second Stage Turbine Blade comic.

In Keeping Secrets comic.

But my advice is don't read them. They are pretty bad and it's better to just listen to the albums and imagine what's going on yourself. I kind of wish I never read them.

Second Stage Turbine Blade

In Keeping Secrets

Good Apollo 1

Good Apollo 2

Good Apollo 3

Year of the Black Rainbow

​

Those are the ultimate/collected editions, so whether you go paperback or Kindle, it should narrow the search down for you. (I saw the conversation about being confused by chapters.)

A confusing note about the Good Apollo series: the 3 books make up the story of the Fear Through the Eyes of Madness album. Claudio announced earlier this year that he was going to start working on the graphic novel/finale for No World for Tomorrow, but a book does not currently exist for that album.

As for Afterman, the coffee table book is cool, but the wiki synopsis on the Amory Wars page is more than sufficient unless you're absolutely committed to the collection and shelling out money for the sake of that collection. The Afterman book has some art, but it's not as important or immersive as either the comics or the book that came with Vaxis.

Well, considering you can buy it on Amazon for $160, I am not sure where you got $400 from.

u/xZombieRitualx · 4 pointsr/coheedandcambria

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 but they just finished the chapter with issue #12.

-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 novella released with the box set.


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

It's a real rarity! I've been looking everywhere for one of these

I couldn't find it here or here I even looked here with no avail.
