Nope, I didn't like it either. Although I did like your review. :)

Nice trading Sage. =) I know the Infinite Crisis omnibus is commanding higher prices than Annihilation in the aftermarket so you came out ahead there. Did you read Annihilation?


message 153: by Sage (new)

Sage (thaczero) | 96 comments I didn't have time to! But I figure finding a 'decently' priced Annihilation on the aftermarket would be way easier than finding Infinite Crisis.

True enough. Do you also have Crisis on Infinite Earths, Identity Crisis, and Final Crisis? :) I liked the first two a lot. Identity Crisis has a couple very poignant scenes.


message 155: by Sage (new)

Sage (thaczero) | 96 comments Yeah I have Identity Crisis Absolute, Infinite Earths (TPB) and Final Crisis (TPB).

I think Infinite Earths is coming out in deluxe format soon right?


message 156: by Relstuart, Mod+ (new)

Relstuart | 2964 comments Mod
Yep, I'm showing an October release for the Deluxe. It's a good story and a very significant one for DC. :) I have the Absolute but looks like it's gone OOP already.

Nice! That should keep you busy reading for a little bit. :) What are you going to tackle first?


message 159: by The Lion's Share (new)

The Lion's Share Probably miracle man and ghost rider. I always save the best till last. I need to read planetary as well.

I'd like to hear about Tom Strong because I may get the deluxe as well. Can't wait till you read planetary. Five stars for me.

You have the digital copy of Locke and key but you are still getting the master edition?


message 162: by The Lion's Share (new)

The Lion's Share The master edition contains vol 2 as well though.


message 163: by The Lion's Share (new)

The Lion's Share I just finished vol 1, I really enjoyed it. Bit sick in places though, and that's saying something.

Should I even ask which omnibus you guys are speaking of??

Lol. Well, it's a non superhero horror story in oversized hardcover written by Stephen King's son. Outside the type of stuff I usually read but it's won a great deal of accolades. It's already available in a TPB slip-cased set and standard HCs. The recent release is the first two story arcs (of 5 or 6) in OHC. The title is Locke and Key.

Nice looking bookshelf! I am a little jealous of your Bendis Daredevil omnibus volume 1. :) I have the OHCs instead of the first volume. Are you going to add Daredevil The End OHC?

I never did pick up the Ghost Rider omnibus. Is it good?

Uncanny X-Force was one of the best books I read last year. :) It's also the one to sell out and shoot up in price faster than any other I've seen. Nice to see it on your shelf.

I'm in the process of switching my New Avengers by Bendis standard HCs for the OHCs. I'm going to skip the omnibus.

Nah I've got the digital edition and that's enough for me. Yeah I'm very proud of my daredevil omnibuses. Definitely my favourite run alongside preacher.

I've not read ghost rider yet, i've bought most of this stuff on faith that i will like it haha. The only thing I'm not sure of is Iron Man, but some of the guys and girls on here recommend it so I'm sure it'll be good.

I used to have a lot more omnibus. I sold 4 earlier in the year, because I thought they were shit or average.

I sold...

X Statix
Punisher Max - Ennis
Ultimate Spiderman
Wolverine & the X-men
My whole deluxe collection of 100 bullets.

Ah. When I originally looked on my phone the pic didn't show up. That looks like it will last you till the end of the year before filling up! Everything looks really nice. What's wrong with me that I enjoy seeing a nicely shelved bookcase, with multiple volumes of a series all lined up?

I might try to get a pic of at least my Marvel Omnibus shelves this week.

If they ever reprint Uncanny X-Force I'll be jumping on that. I still can't decide if I want to get New X-Men by Morrison.

YEah send us a pic of your collection.

REALLY SWEET. I just got rid of my kids(all grown up, not murdered) and am looking into some options. That's like some Amish shit you got there. Got a pretty ridiculous (by that I mean nerdy)Batman statue/figure collection that i'm also trying to shelf. Gonna be expensive.

I meant plural. Like so many that it's amazing I'm not still a virgin. I did just win this one from Sideshow. People really do win those contests...And really, I'm not a virgin.

I got multiple packages in the mail today. The 7 New Avengers OHCs, the two Spider Man Back in Black OHCs, the new Image Five Ghosts OHC, Batman and Robin HC 6, Prince Valiant No 11, and X-Men Second Coming Revelations OHC. Friday I got in Annihilation Conquest and the AoA Companion omnibus.

I've already read all the Avengers books. Nevertheless, I have some reading material for the upcoming four day weekend. :)

Blindzider | 3293 comments Mod
@Rel: That's quite a haul. That will last you what, until tomorrow? :)

@Alistair: I only have the Brubaker Cap singles. I'd like to have at least the first two volumes in Omnibus but it'll be awhile before they reprint. Still trying to decide if I should pick up the last two while they are still available.

Captain Britain is pretty good, by Alan Moore and Alan Davis. I was looking at CB's two OHCs yesterday but they have mixed reviews.

As far as older stuff, I like reading the original source material to see where the characters came from. Sometimes you learn about relationships or events the feed current stories. It's always a mixed bag reading older stuff and depends on your personality if you enjoy it or not. I'm hoping to own all of the major characters that Stan Lee created.

Most of the modern stuff, I actually own in singles and I'm internally debating how much to get rid of them and replace with hardcovers. But as of now, I no longer buy singles/monthly issues, just hardcovers for me.

Nice shelves Sage. How was Future's End? Good to see you are picking up the Joe books with me. :) Still need to pick up vol 7 of the classic series. I still need the Underside Civil War OHC (and Spider-Man). I have all the others minus Avengers since I don't need to double dip on those.

I didn't actually post any pictures. I'll get around to updating in the not to distant future. :)
