I bought this beast over the weekend. It's the largest artists edition they've released. I've added a standard size Marvel onmibus for comparison (yes I know it's not a true omni but it's the same size). It does no fit into an Expedit in any fashion. When I realized this I thought I made a terrible mistake.  Plus side, I did get it signed and have the man himself leaf through the book and show me the areas he's ultra pleased with and what parts he's not a big fan of (towards the end, the chapter pages have issues with the greys being too dark and hard to distinguish from the blacks but all the pages are fantastic).

Looking at that book you've made me realize I have no idea where my copy of Wednesday Comics is.

Yeah, I found a place to put it flat but no way can I put it in a bookshelf. Also, if you ever get a chance to get Sterenko's autograph, do it. It'll cost you money but it's worth it. All his autographs come with like a 15 minute minute conversation filled with awesome.

Barnes & Noble's B2G1 deal on DC comics led me to buy two omnibi to get a $22 mask for free.

Money has been super tight this last year or so but I just got a better paying job. I need to get caught up on my comics and I prefer larger formats (Happy Hippo n' omnibuses A/A/F). I'm dying to read Hickman's Avengers/New Avengers and was wondering if any OSHCs have been announced (I'm sure an omnibus will be a while). Does anyone know if they will blend in the NA issues with the Avengers issues like they are doing with the Fantastic Four/FF omnibus vol 2? Or is that not necessary? How does Infinity fit into all this (by this I mean when the omnibuses come out will it be included?)? Basically, what would be the best way to collect it all in the largest possible volumes?

There's an Infinity omni that includes the Avengers and NA issues in them, presumably in reading order. I think there's OSHCs of both Avengers and New Avengers, but not combined.

 I don't often have anything to brag about, but here's a new Joe Hill hardcover, signed and a week before its release. I am a happy man.

It's a prequel or side story. My wife got hers today too.. but it's not signed.. but we did take a picture of Joe Hill and his family awkwardly at SDCC.

Okay, so Marvel is apparently reprinting the Howard the Duck omnibus. I wonder if they are building to anything...

What I've read of HTD I thought was pretty lame also. As far as gag comic characters go, Marvel should be buying the Herbie Popnecker license instead.

I picked up the Howard the Duck omnibus at a con for $50 a few years ago and devoured it. Some issues are a little lame, but the total experience was fun, especially within the Marvel universe. A used Amazon seller just made my day with a sub-$100 copy of Absolute League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Volume 1. The slipcase, true to the thread title, has a couple dents, but the set is otherwise in excellent condition and completes my LOEG collection, unless Century magically gets a matching treatment someday.

Unfortunately, I've turned into a 20-something who moves from apartment to apartment every year. What does this mean? I'm sick of lugging around so much media. I'm selling off pretty much all my books, hardcover comics, and trades. You can find a list here: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3658400 I've kept pretty much everything in immaculate condition.

Metal Loaf posted:I still wonder what impact the Epic Collections is going to have on what gets collected as omniboo. From what I gather, Epics are selling pretty well, and I reckon they're a heck of a lot cheaper for everyone concerned. I wonder if Marvel's going to start emphasising event-based (i.e. Infinity Gauntlet, Annihilation) and more contemporary (Hickman FF, Remender X-Force) omnibus collections. If Marvel believes there is an opportunity to reprint the same material in multiple formats and make money, they will do so.... I fully expect to see a FF vol. 3 Omnibus in the future. Personally I collect the HC MMW and have every one but may dip into Epics like Wolverine that the MMW will not likely touch for quite some time.

Rhyno posted:God drat it, so much for reprints in publication order. It's interesting because originally the Epic Collection line was pretty much going to be straight publication order (in random volumes), but this Star Wars one seems much more curated. The press release says they plan on printing everything eventually, but it looks like Marvel is more concerned with story order.

TheManWithNoName posted:Well Marvel isn't wasting any time reprinting Dark Horse Star Wars comics: Obviously, I'm absolutely, positively, completely and utterly thrilled about this (because Republic is indisputably the best Star Wars comic of them all), but I think Star Wars is a bit of an odd choice for the Epic line, for the reasons you've mentioned. There's an ongoing storyline, sure - in fact there's several - but it often takes place across several different ongoing series rather than just the one.
