Just added the following:
Lantern City HC Vol. 2
Spiderman Todd McFarlane Omni
Suicide Squad Silver Age Omni
Kabuki Library Vol. 1-3
Deadpool Minibus Vol. 2
Batman Golden Age Omni Vol. 2
It seems my problem lately, has been I accumulated so many editions so quickly, that my buying has slowed down, other than purchasing some newer series that I am trying to keep up with.
By the way has anyone heard when The Sixth Gun OHC Vol. 4 will be released?




It still has not showing in Amazon. Wh..."
The book quality is outstanding. I'd rate it better than Marvel and DC omnibus editions. Great binding, study paper, includes a ribbon bookmark.


So you're enjoying that then? ; )
I ordered the new Thor OHC, Guardians of the Galaxy OHC vol 3, and the new Star Wars by Aaron OHC. My next order will include the latest Snyder Batman HC vol 9.

Well, gouda for you!"
Oh now i like that! That's explosive, so much so that i can see de Brie everywhere!


Yeah, I was kind of researching Ed Brubaker's work at Marvel in preparation for his Captain America run, and I saw that he made this, with Epting no less, and so I checked it out (it's going for next to nothing on amazon).
I've read most of his cap run, but this time I wanted to gather and read as much context as possible before beginning it again.
I enjoyed it quite a bit! I'm not as well versed in the golden age of marvel, but it was no trouble doing a quick search on google for the more obscure characters mentioned, like John Steele and Matt Hawks.
I always love stories that "meld" themselves into both the history of marvel continuity and actual history itself, especially since super-heroes are inextricably intertwined with WWII. Ed Brubaker did a fantastic job with this, especially with the whole Matt Hawks aspect, that was great, deft.
Now I feel primed and ready for a Marvels re-read!

Vay nice!
It's been somewhat quiet on the omnibus front of late. Looks like that will change next week with Shang Chi vol 2, Locke and Key vol 3, and Y the Last Man Absolute all on my radar. The following week we'll have Dr. Strange omnibus vol 1.
I did order three OHCs (Female-Thor vol 1, GoTG vol 3, and Star Wars vol 1) and the Rachel Rising omnibus last week. This week I ordered Snyder's Batman HC vol 9, Waid's DD OHC vol 4, and the Omega Men TPB collection.
Hastings books stores are going out of business. My little town has one and while it took several weeks for their sale prices to be reasonable, I did buy the first four to five issues of several current series as they were 70% off cover. Mark Waid is doing Black Widow now and his series is off to a promising start, I'm iffy on Lemire's Moon Knight though I am loving (and subscribed to) his Old Man Logan. I also checked out Mockingbird, it's surprisingly decent.
I also found one of the few Steranko cover Batman single issues and picked that up for possible future signature if I see him again one day.
I am slowly getting ready for another few custom binds. I have 90s Nomad prepped along with Remender's Cap. I'm finishing picking up issues for a bind with the rest of Cap vol 6, most of six is in the Brubaker omnibus volumes but there are eleven issues by other folks at the end of the run along with some mini-series that I think I can put together with enough content for a omnibus style standard size custom bind.

Very nice. How difficult was it for you to get Rachel Rising?
I've also preordered Locke and Key vol 3 and Omega Men.
Rachel Rising was easy enough, I looked on IST and it was available. It's in the top ten sellers for them right now. The sale process has been ideal for Moore, initial low qualities of stock drove a fear that the supply was very limited so I think a decent number of people bought one in part, driven by fear if they didn't act now, they would miss out.
The initial premise is somewhat similar to I-Zombie (only seen the first couple tv episodes) but there is some creepy supernatural stuff going on.

I wait for a OHC or HC for Omega Men.

who does Omega Men? Is it good?


And more recently some new comics :
- Scalped deluxe 5
- Injection 2
- Sex criminals 3
- Pretty deadly 2
- Corto Maltese : The Ethiopian.

- Fable deluxe 13
- Justice league vol 8 HC, the Darkseid War part 2

Just reviewed it.
Don't let that put you off though, just my humble opinion.

I ordered a copy of Omega Men last week. IST is sold out now and a week later my order is being held up over that book.
