I got my New Warriors Omnibus last week and am pretty pleased with it. I could have done without the inclusion of the exact crossover included in the recent X-Force Omnibus, but I understand why they...
Do you like the Serpent Society and lots of snake-themed gags? And ill-defined villains? And lots of water? And generally poor art? Then you'll love that book!
In all seriousness, it's a good...
Civil War was the event that got me back into comics after a 15-year lapse, so it holds a special place for me. I read much of it in trades -- the main book, Fantastic Four, Amazing Spider-Man, Iron...
I paid $150 for my used copy of UXM V1 and it's on that super-thick, weirdly colored paper -- or the prior owner peed on it. Anyway, it's among the very best of the Omnibuses I own, and I feel that I...
As someone with copies of each of those books, bleh :) I'd rather have something new (or at least a reprint of FF2).
However, I am happy to have V1s of the ASM and UXM books; I can't imagine...
I'm interested.
And I'm interested in Omnis again; it's been a while.
I bought Golden Age and posted photos several pages ago. I haven't finished it, but enjoyed it for what it was while reading it.
No fooling. I bought a bunch of Omnibuses this time last year. Here's the list, and prices as best I can remember;
X-Statix: $50
Uncanny X-men: $160
Miller Daredevil Companion: $75

I read it. There's a ton of great content on the 50s through 70s. Less so thereafter, although the Shooter era and the launch of.Image are coveted pretty well. I enjoyed what I read, but was hoping...
Color me interested for the New Warriors Omnibus. I enjoyed what I read of the 90s run very much, but didn't get that far in the series.
All things considered, this actually seems like a very...
I tend to be pretty positive on hardcover collections, but I'm not thrilled with the AvX hardcover. The paper's thin and warped, the binding is glued, the gutters are lost, and (perhaps secondarily...
One of the problems I have with reading older material in Omnibuses is that the colors just don't look right to me on bright, shiny paper. I almost would prefer whatever was used in the Uncanny X-Men...
No kidding. Also, does it look like that books are open?
On the topic of Acts of Vengeance, count me in the "like" column. It's a really fun crossover that is better written than Secret Wars...
Ha! I'm way out of my element. I don't track auctions per se -- I just see if there's something I like on a whim. The only reason I bid with 5 minutes left is because I saw it by happenstance today. ...
Interesting. Again, I'm not much an eBay guy, but to see the price nearly double in the final five minutes was kind of jarring.
Did you see that custom bound FF v2 Omni in two parts? That's kind...
I bid $165 for Fantastic Four Omnibus vol. 2 at 7:14. At 7:20, it closed at $292! Who is bidding so quickly and so high? I'm not a regular eBay guy, but that just seemed absurd.
On a different...
Also, not to be that guy, but what are spoilers of current comics doing in this thread anyway? There are other places for that discussion.
Vol. 1 is functionally the end of Claremont's run on the X-Men (warts and all), whereas Vol. 2 is the development of the "classic" team, or at least the one that would go on to be featured in...
Seems like a lot of people have had shipping issues with X-Statix Omnibus. Mine arrived in perfect condition from Thwipster (RIP?), but I dropped it from my coffee table onto the floor the first day...
Message from CherryBooks:
Very sorry for your dismay, we try to list item as accurately as possible, this book must have slipped through the cracks. We can offer you a 50% refund off the cost of...
What's worse is that they don't even need to do it. If their description of a "Like New" book was "Shrikwrapped except for area with remainder mark on spine," I personally still would have paid the...

Just for fun, and partly assuming most users of this forum don't have much experience with this book, I decided to post some photos of my newly arrived Golden Age Marvel Comics Omnibus, purchased...
I'm a third party seller on Amazon, but without a huge inventory. I ship them single items I don't want anymore that I know I'll make a profit from, and they do the work. Essentially, I pack my items...
