irlZaphod posted:Oh nice! I've been wondering this myself. I have all the singles (more or less...I think I'm missing #2 and #7), but I bought the first hardcover because it has been such a great run, and it looked like a fantastic edition (it is). I'm glad they're bringing out a 2nd volume. Avengers #1-17 tells one big story and can be labeled "PRELUDE TO INFINITY."

I've noticed there's a Rob Liefeld X-Force omnibus. I've got to wonder, was there a huge demand for these books?

I already own most of these issues and the fact that it's 90's X-Men should put me off. But the series was so convoluted at this point I can't help but love it. Consider this dialogue from a panel no bigger than a postal Stamp Jean Grey posted:There are things that a son should never know about his parents... ...Especially if they imperil the entire future probability that created Him! Is it even possible to avoid those memories? Looks like I'm preordering this.

Marvel Masterworks question; when they're released in paperback, which ones get the silver/gold/red border covers and which ones get the black covers, or do they all get that eventually?

This popped up while I was searching for something else on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Uncanny-X-Force-Rick-Remender-Omnibus/dp/0785185712 Don't know if it's real or not, but if it is, that's what I'm getting myself for my birthday. And I already own (most) of them digitally. And most of the last arc in floppies. But hell, it's one of my favorites of all time.

Oh my god they're putting out omnibuses of Claremont's X-Men Vol. 1: http://www.amazon.com/Uncanny-X-Men...y+x-men+omnibus Vol. 2: http://www.amazon.com/The-Uncanny-X-Men-Omnibus-Volume/dp/0785185720/ref=pd_sim_b_1 Recoloured art, original letters pages, Vol. 2 has the original ending to the Dark Phoenix saga, too.

I'm torn, since I have the Masterworks up as far as the end of the Dark Phoenix Saga (volume 5) and I've no clue when the next one will come out, and those look mighty tempting. (FWIW, I think Vol. 1 is a re-release)

Rhyno posted:Vol 1 was just the Masterworks files blown up to the large page size. Vol 2 is going to just use the files from Daredevil Masterworks Vol 6-9, shrunk down, then blown back up. Seriously though, I am pretty sure all "Classic Omnibu" that contain already Masterwork-ed material use the same files unless the material has been specifically upgraded in between Masterworks and Omnibu? In short: I don't think every "Classic Omnibus" is remastered specifically for the Omnibus release. Some are, and some are the "same old" Masterworks files.

There is no reason to believe that there has been any remastering done for the reprint. I can almost guarantee the reprint of volume 1 will not look any different than the first print other than the paper in the first print will be much nicer.

Yeah, I believe they've done that for the MMW reprints as well; I had the Barnes & Noble edition of the first UXM Masterworks paperback and it used sort of glossy (not sure if that's the right word) paper, while the one with the black cover has regular paper.

Oh my...quote:Okay, guys ... I was waiting for approval to give you the news, but since it's up for preorder on Amazon, I guess it's pretty out in the public now anyway... Yes, there WILL be an English language version of Don's complete works published by Fantagraphics starting in 2014. Link to Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/16...&tag=donrosa-20 I've been getting the Carl Barks books from Fantagraphics and they are great, truly good news.

Self porn! I accidentally turned my computer room into a nerd room. I still need to hang some artwork, but I finally got all my books into the house and set up on shelves. This is the first time in like 5 years all my books have been in one place. Now, what to read?     Sorry for the crappy photos. I only have my cell phone camera and it's not a good one.

I picked it up at Target or Walmart or something in 2006/2007 (it say's 2006 on the leg) when people were still excited for the movie. Probably paid like $15 for it. I only got it cause I never had one as a kid. Same reason I own that Donatello toy and probably 20% of my comics.

Since it seems that there's an UXM Vol. 2 omnibus on the way next year (as well as a reprint of Vol. 1 later this month), I've been wondering if I should think about selling off my Masterworks (I've up to Vol. 5) and switching over to that format. Does anybody suppose it might be something worth doing? I've actually seen some discussion of how the rest of Claremont's X-Men should be collected. One suggestion I've seen is that the Vol. 2 omni could go from No. 132 to about 159 (ie. MMW Vol. 5 - 7), then Nos. 160 -175 could appear in some kind of OSHC, at which point No. 175 onwards could be collected a an "X-Men by Chris Claremont and John Romita Jr." omnibus which will take it through to Mutant Massacre, from which point on I think more or less everything's been collected (aside from Inferno, which seems to be the only one that's not in print atm).

Just Offscreen posted:Very nice! I see you favored the color volumes of bone. Those volumes of Bone are B&W. I got the colored ones for my cousins and they're nice, but Bone is always B&W in my mind. Plus, they are regular comic sized, not the smaller Scholastic format. No surprises in Oglaf. There's like four bonus pages in the back of random drawings. One big issue I have is the alt text is written in medium gray on a dark gray background. It's very difficult to read. I think I went a few pages before realizing it was even there.

Endless Mike posted:Claremont's original run continues to be massively influential on X-Men comics and comics as a whole. There's a ton of great ideas and stories in there that are worth reading, though the early stuff, at least, is very much of its era in terms of pacing and writing. Yeah, I like it a lot, so I'm wondering if it would be worth selling my Masterworks and getting the omni when the reprint comes out.
