I will be getting the regular cover if given the chance of the two versions.

Now just need to find a good priced one.

[awe4one]

Regular cover without a doubt...

I like the omnibus but I find them hard to read. Way to big, heavy and awkward to read while sitting normal.

[CAP Freak]

Regular cover. No doubt (thumbs u

[OldGuy]

Regular cover without question.

[Foolkiller]

Tomb of Dracula omnibus before Avengers omnibus? WTF?

[Jeffro.]

I've got the essential books and you know what? Colan's stuff looks killer in b/w.

[g-man]

are they planning a masterworks?

[500Club]

Avengers Omnibus would've been nice.

 

And why not finish up the Lee/Kirby FF run....

[cd4ever]

Are Omnibus' in color?

 

I cannot read those B &W Essentials. Wish I could.

[CDaBruce]

Yep. Glorious color.

 

I have the Essentials Tomb of Dracula - the art does look nice in black and white.

Will definitely be buying the regular cover for the TOD omnibus.

Hopefully Werewolf and Frankenstein aren't too far behind. Mike Ploog rules!!

I cannot read those B &W Essentials. Wish I could.

 

Yes, and they typically include letters pages and some extra essays and bonus materials in the back.

 

I have always gone for the alternate covers. I figure the regular cover is reproduced on the inside anyway... so I like the variation...

Oh yes, the Plooger does rule, and I await the WBN with much anticipation. I'd go with the variant cover on the TOD, as I feel the TOD 1 cover looks rushed to me, not of usual NA quaility. Plus, the best Drac ever looked was under the hand of Ploog in WBN 15......which is becoming the minor key I said it would several years ago.

In most cases, I would agree wholeheartedly but Colan's stuff looks like it was made for b/w.

Interesting point ... & yes we need more omnibus ! I would love any avengers would be killer!

 

Hey I remember hearing something about them chopping up or editing the essentials TOD & other monster type series to make them more kid friendly or some such does anyone else remember anything about this or know about it?.. I am just sort of wondering if they will do anything like that with this omnibus ...

Tomb of Dracula omnibus before Avengers omnibus? WTF?

Tomb of Dracula essentials was one thier biggest sellers of alltime, non-comic readers bought it. I would expect a Avengers Omnibus in 2010 when the movie comes out.

I loved it as a young teen. I was wowed by the Colan/Palmer artwork. I found Tom Palmers brush work to be amazing.

 

I reread the early work in Essentials and had to read most of it before I "learned" to enjoy the storyline again. As an adult, I keep thinking that there were a lot of innocent deaths at the hands of the lead character and the heroes chasing Dracula sure were lucky over and over again that Dracula found a reason not to slay them on the spot.

 

I am so immersed in Silver Age books that I think I need to "get used" to the Bronze Age all over again.

[Annihilus]

You are right about that. Many of the other Essentials aren't fun to read because of the B&W artwork, but Colan's stuff in B&W is really great. If you've never picked up the TOD Essentials, you should really take a look.
