There are so many omnibuses that need to be reprinted. I'm just not going to hand over $200+ for PunisherMAX or Fantastic Four volume 2, sorry.

Just Offscreen posted:It's really nothing like Maus, but what what got my interest was the gorgeous art and the fun, self contained stories. Outside of newspaper comics, at the time I was only really exposed to superhero comics with no ending and no real closure. That combined with an immense continuity to follow and the plethora of good to bad writers/artists to sift through really kind of got to me after awhile, and I lost interest in the medium because of it. Flight was exactly what I needed. Sounds fantastic. Was able to find a like new copy of volume 2 for a good price, so I'll start there. Something tells me this might be right up my alley.

If, in the far far future, you get through them all, I also recommend The Anthology Project. It's a little pricier, but well worth it. Absolutely gorgeous.

Ooh, I like the looks of that too. I love bright, colorful stuff, and most of my favorite comics--I'm a big fan of the Invincible, Chew, and Atomic Robo series--are all colorful with a good dash of humor thrown in. Thanks very much for the recommendations!

Also you have excellent taste.

So, can I request now that somebody let me know next week if the Invisibles Omnibus loses a lot in the gutter and whether or not the letters columns are included? I really want to pull the trigger, but I don't want to regret the purchase at all. At least it's been confirmed to be sewn, from what I'm reading..

So the new edition of Scott Pilgrim is pretty drat great. Fairbairn's colors go perfectly with O'Malley's older style of drawing. I always thought the first volume looked kinda ugly but people like my girlfriend keep telling me it's the best looking out of all the books. My only gripe about this edition is it's such an odd size to fit on my shelf. No matter where it goes, I'll keep thinking it just doesn't belong.

I haven't had a chance to sit down and read the Grendel omnibus yet but I'm pretty concerned about it. The back cover tells me that it will be "following the story chronology" which is something I don't care for (publication order is always better for getting the context and artistic development) but that's something I can live with. A few years ago I picked up Grendel: Black, White, and Red thinking that short stories about the character would be a good way to get into the series. The problem was that almost every story in it was a follow up to some other part of the Grendel series and it jumped around a lot. I got huge blocks of exposition in these eight page stories about when exactly it took place. That made it a really uninviting way to get in. So the Grendel Omnibus with it's stories in some semblance of order seemed like a better option for me. Except the very first comics in the omnibus (after what looks like a prose recap): Black, White, and Red. And not even with the stories rearranged chronologically; it's exactly the same as the trade. Looking up where the storylines fall the other material in the omnibus apparently comes in at the end of the story (both in publication order and chronologically). It feels like this should have been volume 3 or 4 in the omnibus set but they accidentally put the cover to volume 1 on it.

I've read almost all the Hunter Rose Grendel stories before, but I don't own them anymore so I've been looking forward to the Omnibus. Does it include the earliest three issues that predated Devil By the Deed, or Grendel #16-19, with two short Hunter Rose stories from the original Comico run (after the Christine Spar and Brian Li Sung Grendel sagas)?

Yeah, sign me up for Top 10 as well. The art should really shine as an absolute. I haven't read it in years, but the Norse issue and the one with the giant chess piece both still stick in my head as the best single issues Moore has done in a long time.

On a tangent, are any of the non-Moore Top 10 stories actually worth checking out? I miss that world so much, but since it's so character driven, I can see someone just messing that all up.

Marvels November Solicits http://www.comicscontinuum.com/stories/1208/15/marveltrades.htm quote:X-FORCE OMNIBUS VOL. 1 HC Whoever buys the X-Force omnibus is an idiot or has OD'd on nostalgia. Might go for Iron Man but the material isn't that great and I'd happily read it in the Essential format. I assume the Daredevil book is an OSHC. Might get it, just finding it had to give a poo poo about Marvel at the moment.

I really liked Top 10 Season 2 (by Ha I think?) when it was coming out, but it was finished early and never collected so good luck finding it. The art was more somber, but it had great ideas like a guy getting caught cross-over dressing, magic as a drug with old wizards selling magic words to kids, and allusions to Shock-Headed Pete's secret origin his moonshine still was struck by lightning. The other one was complete crap.

What happened in X-Men Annual #15 that it would be included in an X-Force omni? EDIT: Oh wait, it means the series started in 1970, not that the annual came out in 1970. Whoops. It's part of a crossover.

Shameless posted:Marvels November Solicits Speaking of mutant books from that era, I noticed that Essential X-Factor has reached the first Peter David run. Not actually gotten into it, mind you since he only wrote the last issue in the volume and it's an issue where he's clearing the decks for the new team that starts. I find it really amusing that half the Essential X-Factor volume is other books since that was the point where the mutant books started becoming intertwined in eternal crossovers. So I guess if you wanted a cheaper way to read the X-Tinction Agenda or the Muir Island Saga you're in luck (you're also deranged). The DD OTOH is already ordered.

Anyone know why Punisher MAX hardcovers 4 and 5 are so retardedly rare and expensive when the first three are pretty cheap? I wanna get the series, but not if I have a heaping big gap in the middle. Is it because it's in the process of being reprinted and they just haven't gotten to those volumes yet?

Volumes 4 and 5 probably just had a lower print run and so went out of stock sooner than the first three volumes. Punisher MAX: Born and From First to Last are also pretty difficult to get hold of in hardcover (in fact, most people don't even know they exist) I wouldn't expect a reprint but I'd be surprised if they weren't collected in an omnibus at some point.
