Why is everyone going nuts over this book? Should I pick it up knowing nothing about the story?

Just made a purchase of... Secret Warriors Omnibus by Brian Michael Bendis Punisher by Rick Remender Omnibus With that Amazon was helpful enough to give me a few suggestions and these books peaked my interest a bit. I'm wondering if they're any good. Dark Tower Omnibus by Stephen King Ultimate Comics Avengers by Mark Millar Omnibus X-Men by Chris Claremont and Jim Lee Omnibus - Volume 1 The Invisibles Omnibus

I've never read any of the Batman "No Man's Land" arcs. There seems to be a new set coming out which spreads out over three TPBs. It this set worth picking up? It's 500 pages each at only $20, which is a steal. This is the one I'm referring to. http://www.amazon.com/Batman-No-Mans-Land-Vol/dp/1401232280/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_c

EvilMuppet posted:I bought it a few days ago. I haven't read it yet and probably won't until I finish the JLI TPB's I bought at the same time. Nothing in particular. Just wondering if it was a good read since I always see the book in this used book store I frequent a lot. Also wondering if *that* particular book needed any supplementary material.

They've BEEN re-printed haven't they? Omnibus to the three book "Ultimate Collections" trade, and they're coming out with the same omnibus soon.

Slayer1597 posted:I ended up cancelling my volumes of No Man's Land, because I guess they are re-doing them and re-releasing them in April, so I decided to just wait and pick up the whole series at once. Are you talking about this Here? Because the other volumes aren't out until April.

The time has come. My bookshelf is finally full. I'm currently using these cheap bookshelves that I found on the street and I think it's time that I upgraded. My main concern is that I have a bunch of OSHC and omnibuses. The current shelves I'm using now, I don't feel too comfortable placing it anywhere aside from the bottom shelf. Is this Ikea shelf the one everyone gets?

Darn. It's going to be released individually. I was hoping they would rework the panels so it would become an awesome omnibus.

bairfanx posted:Glad that the first thing I thought (If they're coloring it, it better be larger now too) was the very first thing I saw in that CBR link. Yeah, I'll double dip, why not. The colors look nice. I'm looking at the books right now, if they made an omnibus out of the six books, it would be thicker than two "standard" Marvel omnibuses. I was thinking it would be nicer to rework the panels so they fit into the standard Marvel omnibus mold, but that'll never happen.

I really enjoy those types of colors on the old Flex Mentallo. It reminds me of Hard Boiled and even New X-Men to a certain degree.

There has already been a Criminal Deluxe edition out. I'm assuming the second one is the continuation of that deluxe edition? I was in love with the first book and would be very excited to have the second one.

For the newer release of Batman:Nightfall, did they happened to re-do the pages onto some better paper? I have an older copy and it feels like its only old newspaper, the colors are all off and its just a pain to read. Is this new edition like a "normal" comic?

Just picked up Criminal and the Marvel Zombus. I haven't read anything "zombie" by Marvel. I'm not expecting it to be amazing or anything like that, but I'm hoping I'm in for a good ride?

Anyone read the Grimm Fairy Tales Omnibus? I don't know what this is, but I love fairy tales with a slightly dark twist, like Fables. But looking at the art one Google, it looks like a pervert's wet dream. Anyway, is this good reading material?

Karnegal posted:This may have been covered but I did a search on the thread and I couldn't find anything. How sturdy is the X-Statix Omni? I sometimes worry about how well the really big Omnibi hold up to actual reading vs. just sitting on shelves. I hear that the binding (glue) really sucks, and over time the cover will fall off of the book. I've personally been reading the book in my bed for the past year or so, and it seems perfectly fine.

Just picked up the Sleeper Omnibus. I hope it's as good as the first one. Speaking of omnibuses, should I pick up the Wolverine omnibus by Mark Miller?

Wow that Planetary Omnibus is cheap on Amazon. Only $57 for 832 pages? The actual book any good? I've actually never purchased a DC omnibus, the build quality any good?

Please, please check it out--I can't possibly fit all these Absolutes and Omnibu into my new studio apartment. (If it helps, I have a 100% seller rating on ebay.)

I finally got a "real" bookshelf and can finally post my own bookshelf porn. These books make up about 90% of my OSHC and omnibuses. I have two other shelves about the same size for my SC and manga. On top of the bookshelf is a Star Wars B-Wing from Lego. The jug is a growler from Stone Brewing Company.

Just finished volume 8 of Invincible and I'm wondering if anyone knew if Kirkman was planning to end Invincible anytime soon, or was he going to "make it last as long as possible" like Walking Dead. Also, is the Wolverine Adamantium Collection worth the $100 asking price? I'm not into "older" Wolverine stuff (90s or older, can't stand the art) but it seems the collection is *just* older stuff? obi_ant fucked around with this message at 08:02 on Aug 21, 2013 |

Is the Fantastic Four omnibus more or less self contained? I don't need to worry about knowing anything about their back history or any tie-in story lines right?

So... I've read the 4 omnibuses that Brubaker and Benis wrote, picking up the Miller one when it comes out, is the HC by Mark Waid the next step to go?

What do you guys think of the Sandman omnibuses? There are two volumes, and I've never read any Sandman aside from the first trade paperback. Do you guys think I should pick it up? It seems like a deal because it's only $90 per volume, and they're just smaller versions of the absolutes.
