i like moral orel (like..is subjective, i appreciate its soul crushing properties) so someone told me to start goodnight punpun even though the only manga i've read is akira i ordered the first volume off ebay for around cover and then learned that 2 and 7 are hard to get..figured id read the rest digital but, got a new LCS and they randomly had volume 2 in stock! found 7 online, the others aren't difficult or expensive to grab..no digital for this guy! wild they only had the hardest volume to find local to me this entire time

New omnibus was just announced on the Near Mint Condition YouTube channel. What If..? vol 1 will be released in August 2021. It'll collect What If volume 1 #1-15 and #17-22. I think #16 is a Shang-Chi story and it can't be collected due to some rights issue with Fu Manchu?

DC is notorious for canceling their omnibuses as well. Some people I know don't even collect their omnibus if it requires more than one volume because it might get canceled. I'm not too sure which omnibus they're referring to through. I am pretty bummed that they canceled the Absolute version of The Art of Adam Hughes.

also i think jack kirby will rise from the grave before they get to any more 4th world, which is just a real kick in the nuts for people that own that while the omni exists..it is a beautifully done absolute though, if i knew theyd make the whole run i'd get it

I got the first four JLI hardcovers, which they canceled and continued in softcover after that, so I got 5-6 in softcover, then they stopped releasing those, and now they're doing omni from the beginning again. I may grab whatever concludes the series if they ever finish releasing it.

Marvel is no better honestly. Some trades appear to have print runs of roughly 19 copies.

I guess I’m used to regular books that generally stay in print for at least a few years. It’s been rough for me to start getting into the epic collections and then discover that the next one I want to read came out two years ago and is $70 used. At least it looks like some are getting reprinted.

Speaking of out of print, I got a really good deal on Big drat Sin City and it arrived in the mail today. Holy cow this thing is big! I knew it was going to be really wide but I didn't know it was also library edition-sized. It's easily the heaviest omnibus I own now.

But yeah, Big drat Sin City has had two or three reprint runs now. I think I read somewhere that they said this was going to be the last one, but I could be mistaken. I wish Dark Horse would just keep the book in print, but I guess that isn't feasible.

The first print of Big drat was on lightweight paper. I remember when the 2nd ed came out I was shocked by how much heavier it was.

The only thing I can think of that is perpetual print is everything alan moore did under DC...I bought the tpb of league vol 2 and that's a 17th print....that's the worst part of trying to own things you like...meanwhile all the smart marvel fans are straight up like "don't pay over cover, its coming back at some point thanks to disney" on just about everything...i never thought i'd be able to get age of apoc at a reasonable price and now in 2021 i did...there must be some MCU xmen thing about to go down this year
