I've drank only water and coffee since May 17th.

Wonder how long I can keep this up.

I'm happy they're reprinting it! I had the first edition, sold it when it went out of print and prices went nuts. Always regretted it. So I'll be jumping on this. If they'd reprint the Captain Britain Omni, I'd be all set!

Let me check tomorrow if I have that one... if so, we can come up with something  if you want it

Haha yup.  As I was saying, the prices for that (and many of the first print omnis) went bananas after they sold out.

I still need a few DD if anyone has any they are willing to sell me

I preordered the Silver Surfer Omnibus that comes out at the end of the month!

I think they printed that one before and it sold out.  I went looking for it and prices were real high.

I need to preorder this still

Honestly, they can be a chore to read. The appeal to me is to have entire storylines collected in one place in a format that won't degrade the way trades do. (It used to drive me crazy when paperbacks got stress lines on the spines!)

The important thing is to open them up slowly (there are a couple of good tutorials on YouTube about the best way to loosen up the binding the first time you crack open an Omni) and support the spine when you read. It's probably easiest to read them seated at a table or with a book stand, but who wants to read at a table? I usually read them on the couch with a couple of pillows in my lap to support the book. Some aren't so bad. The omnis that clock in around 1400+ pages can be hard on the wrists for sure!

I've read a few compendiums (Invincible!) And rest them on a few pillows as well.  That does help.. but I get the majority of reading done now in bed after the kids are asleep and my wife passes out

Can prob try the pillow thing in bed anyways

I've been collecting omnibuses for years and have a pretty cool bookshelf full now but I admit, I've yet to read one! 

For those that do read them, do you find them heavy and cumbersome?  I usually read in bed and I dont know if it would be comfortable holding these things.  Having said that, they collect a lot of cool issues and I want to start enjoying them more.

They look awesome on a shelf though!

So I'm kinda weird with this...

For my Marvel/DC Super Hero keys, I have to have a blue label.  I wouldnt even entertain the idea of any restoration or a purple label.

But for my PCH books, I welcome a "small amount of color touch".  I think it has to do with the fact I just want the cool cover and gruesome book.  A little CT might actually enhance the cover and make it more visually appealing.  Plus half the price.  (I also generally crack my PCH and keep them in mylars).

Strange how I have such differing opinions based on the type of book but this is how I've approached things.

This thread reminds me of Waiting for Godot.  Google if unfamiliar...

I agree.  Ultimate Spiderman was one of the most enjoyable runs I ever read.  I'm "only" 35 so Spideys early issues weren't apart of my upbringing but of course I knew the history.  This was a modern take I absolutely adored.  I've wanted to re read it all since.  

Just when I think I've read and heard it all...

I think it's worth reaching out to them... I mean, they very likely wont do anything, but its something they should be made aware of.  

Yeah that 1:25 variant is pretty hot right now.  Thanks

I came home from work to find my entire comic collection gone. When I asked her what happened she said:

"for far to long YOU have been wasting time and money. I had some help today and I have thrown your comics away. YOU need to learn about what is important in your life."

Let me know if there is a prize and if I win.

Genuinely curious, has anything like that AF15 ever been sold on these boards? That seems like something you'd take to a legit auction house

MANY books in this range and higher have sold on tbe boards!  

I'm surprised Tom King didnt doodle all over some of those books!

Been nearly a week since Roy last made an appearance on the boards, maybe he's on a vacation?  

Vacation?  In this climate?

Where to? The basement?

Finished eating?

These were all your uncles?  Wow.  

How do people find these things?
