All Right! I received the replacement copy from Amazon. Saw the corner of the box and began to worry. However, as I opened the box, I saw they wrapped the book...in a single piece of paper. Damaged again. Before I return it to Amazon, I am going to ring them and provide them with the option to provide a discount or return and try again.

Ugh, I hate that for you. So frustrating. And of course, Amazon couldn't care less. Hoping you eventually get a keeper copy!

I ordered a few things from the B2G1 sale at Target last week. Target used to do a decent job with packing (decent...not great) but it has really slipped over the last year. This box had three books and ZERO padding of any kind. One of the was completely butchered. To their credit they're shipping me another copy, and I didn't have to return the original, so that's nice. But still, i feel your pain. I know that in the grand scheme these mega-retailers think it's not worth the effort/money to pack more efficiently, but I can't even imagine the hit they're taking in returns/damages. You'd think it would be enough to make it worthwhile to change their packaging procedures, but I guess it isn't.

Is there an American Vampire Omnibus Vol 2 coming out?  I just saw something come across my social media feed...

Yes is now in the catalogue, 
probably end of the year...

I only need three more books:   Hickman Avengers vol 2 reprint (don't wanna pay $200 on ebay), Immortal Hulk full run (not announced but seems inevitable), and Uncanny X-Men vol 5 (also not announced but I need 194-209 to complete my 94-280 hardcover run, though I'm not sure what they could add besides 194-209, and they can't really go beyond 209 due to Mutant Massacre).

Pre-ordered books at various times last year between May and December. Now they're starting to trickle in all at once. Received a Taschen book and an Artist's Edition last week, the Dr. Strange Omni this week, and it looks like I got three more books on the horizon next week. I'm racking up quite the total.

Love the pics, but I'm also interested in seeing the heavy-duty book shelves buyers are using to secure these monstrous publications.

IKEA shelving

And...as you typed your response you heard the sound of that bookshelf collapsing in on itself

Not even a little bit. I’m very happy with the Kallax shelving.

Dr. Strange omnibuses are a place that I may go to soon...

I'm in a similar boat with UXM, just need Omni V. 5 to finish out what I consider the essential run. I'd assume that the Omni 5 would cover the same material from MMW 12 & 13, since that's basically what the other Omnis have done so far. Two MMW's = 1 Omni. So, UXM-194-209, UXM K9, New Mutants Special, Nightcrawler 1-4, Bizarre Adventures, Longshot 1-6, Marvel Fanfare 33. Should shake out to be a lot of great Art Adams goodness! Some folks think X-Factor stuff may be included, but I tend to think they'll get their own omni at some point. It's X-men, it's Simonson, it would sell on its own.

Good timing. They've just reprinted the first two volumes, and 3 will be here in a moment. Plus Omni 1 is a very thin volume, so you can get 1 & 2 for around $100 total. Not bad. I actually prefer Ditko's Dr. Strange stuff to his Spidey stuff. Much trippier.

You keep that forever, ya hear?

Unless you sell it to me.

That's the plan. Although everything is 4 sale. The highlight with this one is the Peggy Fleming Supergirl. Not the Olivia Newton-John Supergirl.

Over the weekend I read that Marvel is reprinting the Dan Slott She-Hulk omnibus, which is great and also a no-brainer with the tv show coming up.

Also read that Dynamite will be publishing the John Buscema Marvel Tarzan omnibus, full run + annuals. I'm looking forward to that one!

Byrne FF Vol 2 was just announced. 

[F For Fake]

A couple of arrivals from yesterday. I'm happy to finally have a hardcover of Gen 13, and really wish we'd get the entire run (or at least the entire JSC run), but the fact that this isn't bearing a "Volume 1" would indicate that this probably all we'll ever get. Oh well, I guess it's better than nothing.
