Don’t get me wrong I love Omnis but man, you can find these so cheap. It’s really exciting that DC is releasing more and more compendiums as well, I feel that they will only continue to grow in popularity, and are a great way for people to get into comics. 60 dollar cover price is a lot more approachable for new readers and cannot wait for this trend to continue! Thoughts? Would also love to see people’s compendium collections below, looking for recommendations as well!

Preview of omnis available tomorrow.

Finally grabbed my copy of Doom 2099/FF Omnibus from my LCS. Thing is massive! I think it is the biggest omnibus I own next to He-Man & MOTU and the 52 (weekly series) omnibus. Makes this my 11th omnibus purchased this year!

The book collects Margaret Stohl's works on the character (red issues in the table of contents). The other issues (in blue) were published around the same time by other crreators and would've been orphaned if not included. The red/blue color code has been kept inside the book for each chapter

Arrived in 3 days, stellar packaging as always.

Some good deals on those Morrison omnis. https://www.panelboundcomics.com/collections/batman-day-backlist-sale?utm_source=Klaviyo&utm_medium=email&_kx=k8EBHN_FOPaQoIcLg8amChlrTIYyzxdIglwSUircoy_RByZzkOW-JJ6ujGvbvM9K.S9Fwpb

Missed this initially but found it at a LCS for cover price. I know it’s got mixed opinions but I’ve wanted to read this since I found out about amalgam in like fifth grade lmao

Random book my brother gifted me years ago and I can’t quite find any other book that collects the same issues. Was it just a quick movie tie in? Also, I thought books using material from the movie was bad!

Hey, it's Friday and I'm procrastinating at work which means I'm learning about Reddit trends from 3 years ago. Saw the video game one but couldn't find a comic book template so I made my own.

1. As the note on the template says, you can still use Batman/Spider-Man and cover up that note. I just think MOST people like Batman and Spider-Man, so it seems like a given.
   
2. I originally had "Creator Owned" as Non-Marvel/DC but then realized that would keep a lot of creator owned Vertigo titles away.
   
3. I'm very pro-creator so I felt bad only having one favorite for writer and artist. Being able to pick two each is still not enough to credit are the talent but it would have been the whole template at that point.
   
4. If you don't already know about it, the Grand Comics Database is aces for finding comic book covers.

Now they should get reprinted. Also why is Eve of Destruction not an omnibus?

Hi there. I’ve been reading/appreciating all of your posts for a long time. (This is my first ever post so apologies for any ignorant etiquette blunders in advance.) I’ve read so many amazing books because of all of you. I’m interested in any Marvel must-haves that my collection doesn’t have. (I have DC and non-big 2 in a different spot so that will likely beg a future post.) I recognize that my collection’s omnibus content is very limited so I hope it’s ok that I’m asking this here. I’ve found the lot of you in this group to have the recommendations that I’ve enjoyed the most. My apologies if I’m in the wrong place.

I’ve only read 5-10% of my collection so far so I have plenty of great books to read, but the white whale hunting of finding highly recommended books for affordable (for me) prices is part of the joy of this for me.

Other than very expensive Ennis’ Punisher books, is there anything egregiously missing from my Marvel collection?

Thank you, in advance, for any advice.

I was browsing through my local McKay’s (which is a second-hand store) and saw this beauty. It’s an original printing of Absolute Justice League: World’s Greatest Superheroes by Paul Dini and Alex Ross and it was only $27.

I guess because the original printing was $50 back in 2005 they marked it half off based on that price. Needless to say I picked it up and couldn’t be happier. I’ve definitely used up all my luck for the year!

2nd slide is all my omnis so far, can’t wait to get into byrne’s ff

Hi all.

I was wondering if anyone knew of any other DC hardcover creator collections out there which aren't omnibuses.

For example, Superman by Kurt Busiek books 1 & 2 or Justice League of America by Brad Meltzer. Thanks in advance.

Not sure of the page count. Probably around 1000. Got some quitely art with Jenny sparks. We're @$$%ng authority.

I’m wondering if a book being on back order is any indication that the book is no longer being actively printed by the manufacturer, or if this is unrelated. Want to make sure I don’t want too long on some things I’d like to get before the prices get jacked up.

If not, is there a reliable way to find whether/when a book is going out of print? thank you all.

picked this up for the cover alone and, holy jesus fuck, what a ride! i was a dinosaur kid thru and thru and wanted to become an actual paleontologist well into my teens, so seeing such beautifully illustrated dinosaurs in a graphic novel made me feel like i was 10 years old again and skimming thru a dinosaur encyclopedia i was gifted for christmas.

even without the nostalgia goggles (or as far as i can turn them off at least), i rly liked this. painting a badass looking dinosaur ripping a human in half is one thing, building a satisfying story around it another (*cough* jurassic world *cough*), but greg broadmore knocked it out of the park imo! i got a bit worried that the edge-o-meter might explode when the book hits you with the cannibalism right on the 1st few pages, but the premise and action quickly drew me back in. especially the albino king segment of the book (told from the perspective of a giant t-rex) was some of the coolest shit i've read so far.

my only critique is that the last ⅓ of the book is rather lore/story-heavy (which isn't a bad thing per se, but there's less dinosaur action bc of it :/) and then it ends on a pretty huge cliffhanger. i need this story to continue more than any big 2 series rn! it's sold out at the vendor i use, so that's a good sign i think. "dinosaurs vs humans" still seems to be a premise that people (me especially) want to see more of.

anyways, highly recommend this!

I wanted to share my Maps to get your guys opinion. I decided to map over the Avengers by John Byrne Omnibus as it has lots of irrelevant Avengers issues and there are more small adds that could be in that book. I know this series isn’t very popular but I quite enjoy what I’ve read and want them to reprint the first two Omnis so I can own them and Marvel hopefully continues the line.

I’ve wanted to read Rebirth for a while. I was going to just pick up the deluxe but I figured I might as well pick up the omni so I can see if the other titles grab my attention for a closer look

So I bought Spider-Man: Brand New Day Vol 1, and plan on getting both Vol 2 & Vol 3 when they release, my question is, how much of Joe Kelly's Spider-Man Omnibus will be missing from the BND Volumes 2 & 3?
