For both UK and foreign buyers thebookdepository.co.uk is another good place to buy from as the prices tend to be the same as Amazon.co.uk and also has free worldwide shipping.

I think Final Crisis may be my first absolute edition.

Tom Brevoort confirmed it on Formspring I believe.

Edit: Yeah what Shameless said.

I sold a guy a book on Amazon and it was the direct market version instead of mass market. He was so pissed he filed for a wage garnishment.

If the guy was prepared to get so angry about that I wonder why he didn't just contact you before buying the book to find out which cover it had. :confused:

I'm also considering ordering the second Fraction Iron Man OSHC but I'm slightly nervous that an omnibus might be around the corner - does anyone fancy pulling some predictions out of their arse on that one and persuading me either way?

Personally I wouldn't expect a Fraction Iron Man omnibus considering how they're being collected in OSHC and if anything I think we'll see a Fraction Thor omnibus rather than an Iron Man one. If you're considering getting the second one them I assume you already have the first? I would just carry on reading it that way and not worry about the the potential likeliness of an omnibus

I'd love an Alias reprint, hopefully we'll get one when/if the tv show happens.

I doubt it since the trades are out.

You can get still New X-Men ultimate collections and they were reprinted in those tiny little editions but we're still getting an omnibus reprint.

What's the consensus on these? I recall reading the first one and thinking it was fun but there seem to be about half a dozen now (enough to fill an omnibus apparently) but I wasn't sure how badly they suffered from diminishing returns.

1, 3, 4 and 5 were all fun, I think that it was only 2 that was really bad and not worth reading. I don't know how much this omnibus will contain though, I'm assuming those five numbered ones and not stuff like zombie christmas carol or whatever it was that came out recently.

Is there really a $25 difference between the two market editions of the New Avengers omnibus? Is that normal?

Isn't CB only around 19 issues? That seems like it would be a little small for an omnibus.

Weren't copies also been given out to people who asked good questions at the DC panel at Wondercon? I'm sure I read that somewhere.

Rick Remender announced that a Fear Agents omnibus is coming out in October. I've loved Remender's work at Marvel so I'm pretty curious about this, how good is Fear Agents?

You know, I want one. I really do. But I want to see it first, see how they handle a book that big losing things in the gutter.

I'm exactly the same, especially after how bad the New 52 omnibus turned out.

Why are Marvel's Ultimate Collection tbp's so expensive? Unless the couple of trades they contain are out of print it always seems cheaper to buy those couple of trades separately.

It probably doesn't help that the specific example I'm looking at is The Ultimates which I suppose Marvel was never going to let the trades go OOP and get expensive in the year of The Avengers.

I'm insanely jealous of anyone who has a nice looking comic collection, my comics have formed little clusters in various rooms in my house waiting for a time when they can be united.


Here you can see where a layer of various papers and bills which needs to be sorted but look more likely to be sandwiched under more comics/books. This is a bookcase from my childhood which explains the Star Wars stickers.


More from the same bookshelf.


Another bookshelf in another room.


Yet another bookshelf section, not fully pictured on the shelf beneath are my Scott Pilgrims and international politics textbooks. Also a second copy of Runaways Vol 2 which I've been meaning to sell and have never got around to.

They'd be better off giving them out with single issues like they did with the lantern rings a few years ago.

I really need to sort out my books because they're all over the place in different bookcases, hopefully someday they'll all stand as one.

Lemire's Green Arrow was good right? If so I'll pick that up, the art always looked so great.

I know that I was buying the Tom King Batman hardcovers only for vol 5 to seemingly have a small print run and being sold for twice it's cover price and no vol 6 on the horizon.

I don't like the event omnibuses. The tie-ins for event books are always of such varying quality that if I did like the event I'd much rather get an OSHC of the main book only if I wanted it in a premium format.
