I'm still steamed that N52 Red Hood & The Outlaws got an omnibus over literally anything else from that time period. Could the wizard that got us the Gotham Central omnibus please work that magic again for an All-Star Western omnibus?

Absolute Court of Owls... uhh... at least they collected Godhead in one hardcover... (I've softened on that book, in hindsight I better appreciate how it covered a lot of bases, even if its internal consistency wasn't the best)

It could be a bad start, unless you don't mind confusion leading to you looking everything up and becoming familiar with the DCU that way. Morrison's JLA is a great way to get into him and DC, then you could work your way through everything he's written for them, plus going back to Jack Kirby's New Gods along the way. You might want to start FC then. Anyway, get the old trade instead of the omni. There's no real worth in the extra comics. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 11:17 on Sep 20, 2018 |

I've started collecting Daredevil TPBs and HC and I got Nocenti's Touch of Typhoid omnibus. Besides the Heart of Darkness omnibus, there aren't anymore collected editions of her run right? , is the Fall from Grace omnibus the only one from the era between Nocenti and Kevin Smith's runs with the character?

Here's some upcoming stuff: Paper Girls Deluxe Edition Book 2. (It might be better to read it like this than as individual issues.) Black Hammer Library Edition Volume 1. (I do wonder if all the spinoffs will be collected together.) Promethea: 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition Book One. (I guess we're never getting that omnibus with double-page spreads.) sporklift posted:So did Prophet ever finish up? Why hasn't a hardcover been released? Is it just the five trades?

I recently got some new books myself, all Marvel Epic Collections: one Fantastic Four ("The New Fantastic Four"); one X-Men ("The Gift"); and one Hulk ("Future Imperfect"). It was a choice between those and the Wonder Woman by George Pérez Vol. 3 omnibus. I've seen that going a bit cheaper elsewhere so I'm holding fire for the next wee while, which I hope I will not regret. I was able to get the first Pérez WW omnibus for some ridiculously low price off Amazon UK because I pre-ordered it really early and its price went down to about £18 (!) for some reason, then when it shot back up to over £50 closer to release I got it at the lowest price. I've bought tpbs with a fraction of the content for more than that.

When did Marvel stop using the plain black spine with white text and cover collages on the back of the slipcase for omnibuses in favour of art on the spine and a back cover blurb? Or do they mix it up a bit? If so, which ones get which? The newest omnibus I own is the first Doctor Strange: Sorcerer Supreme one which has a bit of a mixture (i.e. black spine but the title is the book's logo rather than the plainer text from the older ones). Example of the newer sort:

I think it varies. Known allot of them and I'd say a full third of my books have art spines.

I'd give it until at least midway next year before buying the HC unless you're desperate. It didn't complete until very recently so they may try and milk it for a yearish before they announce a complete collection. It seems prime for a $40 hardcover....

So I got two Mighty Thor HC (from the Jane Foster era); they look pretty good, have a dust jacket and the actual cover is pretty nice looking art. I'm trying to get the rest of the run in a similar format but since buying online is the only option, I don't know which is the actual Volume 3 that follows my previous volumes: This one? https://www.amazon.com/Mighty-Thor-Vol-Asgard-Shiar/dp/130290308X/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1543696769&sr=8-2 or this (unreleased yet) one? https://www.amazon.com/Thor-Jason-A...54E2KW5JJZTX0EE

Can you post which ones you have? In any case, from the listing, Mighty Thor vol. 3 is 160 pages and includes Mighty Thor #13-19, so basically a TPB-length hardcover. Thor vol. 3 includes Mighty Thor 13-23, 700-706, and some other stuff. It's a big 528-page hardcover. I'm *betting* the smaller one is the one you're looking for.

As Endless Mike said it depends on which two you have now. If you have the bigger volumes you want the second link. If you have the smaller volumes this is the full order: Thor v1 Goddess of Thunder Thor v2 Who Holds The Hammer Secret Wars Battleworld: Thors The Mighty Thor v1 Thunder in Her Veins The Mighty Thor v2 Lords of Midgard The Mighty Thor v3 The Asgard Shiar War The Mighty Thor v4 The War Thor The Mighty Thor v5 The Death of The Mighty Thor That covers all the Jane Foster material.

The unreleased vol 3 is too big, as Endless Mike, said, but might be the one I'm looking for considering this?

I ended up finding a copy of this, but I thought I'd ask just to sate my own curiosity: is the TPB for the pre-New 52 Batwoman stories out of print now? I ended up buying what seemed to be the last new copy on Amazon, everything else was used and it was out of stock on in stock trades (har)/DCBS.

Is that a Kallax in the background? I put together two of those in a walk in closet two weeks ago because they were too big to get in after building and it was not fun! I mean it’s not a tiny closet but it still sucked!

It's the older version, the Expedit. Slightly thicker outer edges. I was kind of bummed when they changed them but I recently discovered that there's a Walmart and Target brand that is nearly identical to what I own so future expansion is back on! I have two 5x5, a 2x4, 2x2 and two 1x5 units. That seems like a lot but it fills up fast unless you want to double row books and that looks crappy.

Yeah I got a 5x5 and a 4x4. One on each side of the walk-in. Only the 5x5 was supposed to be for my books, but it’s almost filled up already so I may have to take possession of the entire walk-in.

All my furniture at this point is either a bed, a couch or a Kallax/Expedit. I have two 4x4, three 2x4, two 1x4 and four 2x2. One of the U-Haul box sizes fits loving perfectly in the holes which helps minimize any lost space. And most of my poo poo already fits in one of the holes then it'll fit in a box that fits in there too.

When they announced the Expidit line was ending I dashed up to Michigan and bought the second 5x5 and 1x5 to future proof myself. I also have 6 detolfs and room for more now so that's gonna get out of control soon.
