Street Soldier posted:Are Omnibuses and Absolutes actually readable? Normally I'd rather buy a hardcover set but most things that are released in Omnibus format are impossible to get separately in hardcover. Is there like a cutoff for a readable amount of pages, like Punisher Max at ~550 is okay but The Invisibles and New X-Men aren't worth the effort at over a 1000 pages? I'm done buying them because I prefer a more readable format. They have gotten thinner though, they use really crappy paper now.

CharlestheHammer posted:The main problem with epics is they are supposed to cover a lot of series, so they aren't very focused. So the have released like twenty but they are spread out over like fifteen series. So unless you are interested in many of them it doesn't look like much. Yeah they keep announcing more and more additions. Still no Dr. Strange though but the (19th) Hulk volume will be out soon. If you include Star Wars there are 49 released or announced volumes across 16 series. I'm totally suckered into the concept and every time they announce more it's fun to see how they fit into the puzzle.

I have the first four Morrison-centric JLA hardcovers and bought vol. 5, but they don't match up at all. Looking into it it seems like DC switched up the contents for the TPBs. Now I can't decide whether to dump the HCs for the TPBs or not.

Thinking of selling my three Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck HC's and I'm seeing that they are going for a lot on the market. What's the best place to unload books these days?

I don't really care for the omnibus format but I'm in for any Justice League volumes as I doubt they are ever going get as far in TPB. Also in for Hellboy and BPRD, haven't read any Hell on Earth because I've been waiting for the hardcover!

Wheat Loaf posted:Pretty cool omnibus announcement for later this year - Captain America by Mark Waid and Ron Garney. You know, I read part of Waid's run in the Epic collection that came out not to long ago and I wasn't that impressed. I really didn't like how he wrote Sharon Carter at all. I like pretty much everything else I've read from him so I was pretty disappointed.

Teenage Fansub posted:Are you sure about that? Under that branding, they've only put out three JLA volumes, full stop. They've put out three Silver Age trades which are equivalent to the first omnibus, issues 1-30. The three omnibii collect 1-113. The first two are Silver Age, last Bronze Age, but as mentioned the first one came out before DC settled on the current design. There are plans for more including the Detroit era. Edit: not my pic

It seems weird to release them out of order especially since they don't seem to mind waiting years in-between releases Yep it says in the introduction of the new Abe Sapien book it takes place after Hell on Earth volume 2 which comes out next year.

radlum posted: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? Window’s Kiss collects #365-380 (the last issues of volume 1). It’s pretty bad though.

sporklift posted:Well the $1700 one is absolutely stupid. But all the sold listings I see are incomplete. They don't include the case or supplemental book and are selling for $150. So I wouldn't be surprised if I could get $200 out of it? Who knows with Ebay. I just listed the Young Avengers omni for $45 and had it up for a couple weeks with no bites then someone snagged it for the $75 buy it now price. It's an amazing book and I will most likely never sell it...but yeah it's too big and heavy to read anywhere but on a table or floor. And I think it's still smaller than the actual newspaper comics were? Insane.
