I finally found another new copy for $50 that was *gasp* actually new!

If I were to pay fifty bucks for a volume of New X-Men I wouldn't only take it for granted that it was new but for that price I would also expect a signed nude photo of Grant Morrison to be included in the price because that's a huge amount of money to spend on one hardback.

The strange thing is that some collections published by Humanoids is censored while others aren't. Cinebooks on the other is pretty consisting in censoring nudity.

So can anyone report on the Invisibles Omnibus? Should I just pursue the TPBs or will this thing not fall apart instantly/lose half the page in the gutter?

Just got it now. From what I can see it looks solid enough and the pages isn't lost in the gutter.

In celebration of a New Year, between now and Midnight, Eastern Standard Time, January 7th, 2013, anyone who posts at least one photo of their comic bookshelves will be entered into a random drawing to win a Custom Title gift certificate (a $5.00 value!). This contest is open to any Something Awful forum member except myself, and you must have some comic-related books in the photo. It doesn't matter if your books are stored in the finest Ikea-produced shelves available, or in a moldy cardboard box, just show off your stuff. You can post as many pictures as you want, but you will only be entered once. Good luck, one and all!
Why not? Here's some old pictures of some of my comics:

The second volume is fairly self contained and in my opinion is a little more entertaining than the first. It references events in the first volume briefly but it's not anything that contributes much to pushing the story along. I just took both of them off my shelf and flipped through them and I remember enjoying the second volume much more than the first. I would say just get the second and enjoy it :)

A big part of the story was left unresolved though.

DC is doing deluxe hardcovers of the Rebirth books!

Its Harley Quinns all the way down. I'm also somewhat pessimistic about DC's second attempt at publishing JLI collections.

Latest omnibus announcements I've seen recently:

Daredevil: Shadowland and Deadpool by Daniel Way.

Is there demand for these? :confused:

There was an omnibus for Howard the Duck. And while I like that comic and got the omni I also realize that it's hardly a mainstream comic.

Zachack posted:

I'd argue the difference is that while there may be a limited audience for Howard the Duck, and similarly for Shang Chi/Deadly Hands, Monsterbus, and some other more obscure titles, there's an appreciable value to people in those markets in that these are hard to get comics and a history-inclined audience is able to get a more premier book.

Shadowland carries no such cache except maybe trying to complete the omni gap between Brubaker and Waid (which I'm not sure if this actually does). I can kinda understand Deadpool for similar "completeness" urges.

Both Daredevil and Deadpool are popular characters who recently starred in a popular movie/show, it's really not a mystery why the omni is being released.

A lady living in Brighton disagrees with you to the tune of fifty pounds, but even without having read it for years I am pretty certain it has aged very badly.

Ennis' treatment of homosexuality has indeed aged very badly, but he's on point on everything else. In one issue for example two characters discuss how an author treated female puberty as a horror story and how hosed up that is.
