I've received my Dark Tower omnibus. I haven't browsed through it yet but my back hurts. That thing seemed a lot worse than Thor.

Random Stranger posted:Last week I decided that it was finally about time that I got around to reading Tintin. And given the length of the series I thought the best option would be to order the box set for the series. It arrived today and I was surprised to find out that it lacked three stories: Tintin in the Land of the Soviets, Tintin in the Congo, and Tintin and Alph-Art. Anyway, if you haven't read this yet, you're in for a treat. There's some very good stuff in there, as classic to me as Eisner, Kirby or Tezuka can be (and these guys are my big 3). drat, I should look for a box set in french or something. All I have are old rear end hardcovers published in 1980. In other news, my Kamandi HC has shipped. I think it's the collected edition I've been the most excited about this year.

I don't know if other euro goons have noticed but Amazon seems to randomly upgrade shipping to UPS or DHL. I got my Bone hardcover in 5 days last month and I'll get my X-Statix omnibus next week, for no added shipping costs. That's pretty nice. It's not necessarily linked to the price/volume of the book though: my Absolute Sandman 5 had regular international shipping. Quick question to everyone: how are Legion of Super Heroes: The Curse and the first New Teen Titans Omnibus? I don't know the material in these books at all.

After much hesitation, I didn't buy the Frankencastle HC last year, so I'll be getting the Punisher Omnibus. That being said, Marvel seriously needs to have so much overfuckinglapping between OSHCs and Omnibi. It's not like they're addressing 2 different niches there. (I'm looking at you, Siege and X-Force 2)

This might have been going on for a while but anyone around London should note that the first seven volumes of the Love and Rockets Library, the small square softcovers, are 4 quids each at Forbidden Planet. These are the Titan editions though, which essentially means the band on the spin that says Fantagraphics in the US edition says "Titan Books" here. This wasn't a deal breaker for me at that price.

I found a New Avengers Omnibus vol. 1 while fishing on Amazon, it's supposed to be 1208 pages. Is this new? Meanwhile, there's still no OSHC announced for the Heroic Age stuff, except for one that collects the first 6 issues of the new Avengers and New Avengers series. And which will probably overlap with other OSHCs/Omnis down the road...

So basically, you can either buy 1000 page books or 200 page books? I kind of miss the ~400 page OSHC format that allowed for a year's worth of material. I know these are still released but they somehow seem scarce. That being said, how was The Stand? I quite liked what they did with the Dark Tower.

Fished on Amazon an Avengers vs X-Men HC. It's 500 pages for a $75 retail price. I don't follow current stuff so I have no idea how good/bad this will be but it's still striking to see how quickly the X stuff gets oversized releases compared to the rest of the Marvel books.

Has anyone picked up the Spirit World hardcover? From the looks of it, it's oversized and looks interesting but it's also a bit on the expensive side given its width.

I just fished Incognito: The Classified Edition and Powers: The Definitive Collection - Volume 5 on Amazon. Nice. I like how Powers has kept its original price point.

Amazon has a 1440 page Teen Titans by Geoff Johns Omnibus. Are DC out of their mind or do they just like seeing cheaply glued books fall apart ?

bairfanx posted:Except for Time and the Batman. I don't get why it didn't end up in RIP or something. I also realized I was missing the Resurrection of Ra's Al Ghul in my Morrison collection. I bought it and almost regretted it. I can definitely see why this wasn't oversized.

Oh poo poo, I had missed that Animal Man Omnibus. Preordering it now. What's the final word on the Invisibles omni by the way? Does it fall to pieces or is it sturdier than what DC has accustomed us to? Also, I'm not touching that new Batman Incorporated HC because if I do, I'm sure it will be regular sized, followed by a softcover only volume 2 with a mismatched spine.

Rhyno posted:Dude, I have to move in three weeks into a 3rd floor apartment. Don't you cry about one little box. At the end of this crazy day, all the short Russian fellow who had done the moving could say was "you must read a lot, eh?" In retrospect, I'm still amazed the move went so well and I totally dread the next one. Every time I'm about to order or pre-order something, I think about all these loving boxes and how many more we'll have next time.

Speaking of BotA, any chance someone picked up the OSHC or saw it and could tell me if it contains a digital copy? I know omnis don't but events tend to. I'm not interested in BotA but it would be nice if Infinity came with a digital copy.
