Been lurking around, just in the background.
@Alistair, tried to shoot some of the books, but photo kept turning sideways, put two shots on the photo section here, ran out of room again. Have another full bookcase on the floor, LOL.
Will try again.

I just got my batman superman absolutes and the shelves are now full again. More READING is needed now."
Fixed it for you. :p :P

Yeah mine came back sideways as well. Goodreads need to make it easier to upload photos.
i use this site for quick uploads and copy paste the link into GR

Thanks Rel :D
I have no room for another shelf though :( I'm just going to sell the ones i don't think deserve to be there anymore or ones i won't rad again.
I'm gonna sell my invincible collection, that takes up loads of room. Fear Agent, New Avengers, Sandman and Chew.
I got a package I wasn't able to pick up from the apartment office until this morning. The Image HC of Lemire's Plutona is standard size (HC version of the TPB) and very austere in style with just a black cover with the company and title on the spine and a one white symbol on the front cover.
The only thing I know of that comes out today I am interesting in in Lemire's Underwater Welder HC. Plutona has some positive and some negative reviews but Underwater Welder sounds like it has better press.

The Spider-Man by Todd McFarlane omnibus is being released today on IST/comic Book Stores. Just under 500 pages for under $40. Not a bad price really.

That really isn't a bad price. I'd only want it to flip through and look at the art every once in awhile, but I still have the singles too...

I've only read spiderman Blue and really enjoyed it.
I hated Ultimate Spiderman, what a pile of shit.
I've got the STan lee volume 1 but haven't read it yet.
The McFarlane Spider-Man series is a little darker, at least initially. However, McFarlane is not a very good writer. His Spider-Man is fantastic though. I seem to recall him only writing 20ish issues then some other people came on. It's been awhile but I don't recall anything really noteworthy.
I personally like Lee's Amazing Spider-Man V2 Omnibus.
I would also recommend J.M.S on Amazing Spider-Man. Toward the end he did some really controversial stuff I didn't care for, but those early volume were outstanding. He doesn't have an Omnibus but there are 5 "Best of Spider-Man" OHCs then a couple more like "Back in Black" and "The Other". There's a Spider-Man thread list here that might have a few more.
Along with Superior Spider-Man the Spider-Verse event was pretty good and definitely "darker". Kraven's Last Hunt also falls into that category.

Uncanny X-Men Omnibus v2
Secret Warriors Omnibus
Wonder Woman by Perez Omnibus
Jack kirby: The Losers HC

Civil War HC
Crisis on Infinite Earths HC
Inhumans HC - Jenkins/Lee run

Sounds like a good find. I too have heard good things but have yet to read that one.

Oh, so SB is the same size as the Scalped HCs but not oversized like Sixth Gun, Deadly Class?

It's a regular HC, that's at the same size with single issues.


I may have to get a PO box to hide all these deliveries from my wife :)
Me - "Did my package come today?"
Wife - "Yes, there's a box for you"
Me - "AWESOME"
Wife - "More cartoon books?"
