Is Fear Agent Library Edition V1 already out of print? I ordered it from Amazon in January, and it keeps getting pushed back and now it seems like no one has it in stock!

It definitely seems like it. Which is balls, because I really wanted to check it out, but I don't have that kind of cash right now.

Haha, gently caress, I came in here looking to see if there was any way I was gonna get these for less than the ridiculous prices on Amazon. At least I didn't have to spend much time looking for an answer.

Anyone read the Grimm Fairy Tales Omnibus? I don't know what this is, but I love fairy tales with a slightly dark twist, like Fables. But looking at the art one Google, it looks like a pervert's wet dream. Anyway, is this good reading material?

FoneBone posted:http://www.newsarama.com/comics/dc-drops-wtf-and-other-news.html I read it when it came out. Only bits of it are by Gaiman. It wouldn't be my first choice for a massive collection but as you'd expect the Gaiman parts are pretty good.

If you do read GFT and decide you enjoy it, I might recommend a little book called Tarot to you.

This may have been covered but I did a search on the thread and I couldn't find anything. How sturdy is the X-Statix Omni? I sometimes worry about how well the really big Omnibi hold up to actual reading vs. just sitting on shelves.

I sometimes worry about how well the really big Omnibi hold up to actual reading vs. just sitting on shelves. I hear that the binding (glue) really sucks, and over time the cover will fall off of the book. I've personally been reading the book in my bed for the past year or so, and it seems perfectly fine.

I've had the X-Statics since it came out and it's been fine. I hear glue fails more easily in humid places, but New England has treated all my books well.

I sometimes worry about how well the really big Omnibi hold up to actual reading vs. just sitting on shelves. It's more than fine. All talk about the glue "falling off" or the pages sagging is pure speculation. If you want it, go buy it now while Marvel is blowing them out and you can get a really good deal.

I have not had any trouble with the Spider-mam omnibus and the only problem I have with the crossing omnibus is the content.

I'm making my way through Volume 1 of the updated Batman: No Man's Land collections, and overall, it's a fantastic presentation, except for 3 stupid things: 1-The 2-page spread map of Gotham seen early on showing who's in charge of what areas is all jacked up--the color key is impossible to read since most of it has been cropped off the page. 2-The table of contents is great; everything is laid out cleanly and has all the credits for each issue-yay. But don't list that Detective Comics #XYZ begins on page 435 when the book has no page numbers. 3-Finding a specific issue is made even more difficult because all the covers are grouped together at the very back of the book instead of before each issue like they should be. All minor and silly things, and not worth skipping the books entirely for. The paper is great, the color reproduction is spot-on, and I'm looking forward to grabbing the rest of the volumes. edit: well, some of the Azrael issues look like scans or something, but who cares about those.

Have they condensed the No Man's Land stuff down into fewer trades? Or is it the same number of books with a different spine?

DC has a history of having all the covers in the back so you really have no idea where one issue ends and one begins. Their trade department really is the worst.

If you're looking for Uncanny X-Men, Fantastic Four, ASM, or Miller's Daredevil omnibi, looks like they're going back in print.quote:For now we're going with: Uncanny 1 FF 1 ASM 1 DD. Miller 1 These will start to appear in theJune previews. Those omnis of our fringe characters and events won't yet be going back to press as in many if not most cases these were hard sells to. Begin with. But I never say never... http://marvelmasterworksfansite.yuku.com/reply/616640/Why-dont-Omnibi-go-back-into-print#reply-616640

It means that many stores, usually larger online retailers, will be offering this book for lager than normal discounts. You should be able to find this book for more than 50% off now.
