Also I am in for Astro city, but since there are so many volmes I think it will be served well as omnibi

An Astro City Omnibus is long overdue, although I've been buying the hardcovers since they moved to Vertigo. I suspect that 1) the series is drawing to a close soon and 2) that once it is done we'll see some type of larger collection, most likely an omnibus.

Too Expensive & OOP
Silver Surfer V1 Omnibus
Annihilation Omnibus
Simonson Thor Omnibus

Hope to See Collected
Miracleman by Moore (I think this will happen once Gaiman finishes the new stuff.)
Amazing Spider-Man V3 Omnibus

I believe the creative team on Manifest Destiny stated they would not be doing an oversize HC. The explanatory statement I saw was that the art didn't need oversize treatment.

I would be in for either an Absolute or omnibus for Astro city. Either way I would expect more than one volume. I've read some of the material and it's good stuff.

There is an OHC for World War Hulk. I'm pretty sure I have a copy. It wasn't as good as Planet Hulk but it was a fun read.

I would not be surprised to see an All-Star Superman DLX eventually.

If there is a WWH OHC then it is OOP and crazy expensive. Its my favorite Hulk book so far though but Im just not quite willing to shell out too much for that.

It looks like the cheapest one on Amazon is $49.99, but nice copies are closer to $100. My Amazon order shows I paid $24 for mine when it was released. If you watch Ebay you may be able to get one at a decent price.

The Lion's Share As a kid I read Tintin, Garfield, The Beano, The Dandy, Calvin and Hobbes and even Judge Dredd. I left comics as a teenager and focuses on animated movies and to shows. As an adult I was introduced back into comics with Batman the dark knight and lots of other DC titles. I was comfortable, but then I was handed Daredevil by Brain Michael Bendis, mind blown. Another universe opened up to me, I was in heaven. Then I discovered vertigo and dark horse, but nothing blew me away. Then I discovered the image comics app, my mind was opened once again, hundreds of indie comics to drool over.

Today I discovered the SEQUENTIAL app. Mind blown again!!! So much choice. I'm "gonna need a bigger boat!". :D

If you don't have The Complete Calvin and Hobbes slip-cased HC set I recommend it. :)

I don't have a personal computer/tablet and my phone is old and slow so online comic reading options don't really work for me right now. :)

The Lion's Share I use it more for browsing than anything else. Below is the website if you wanna browse.

Reece (mrrallentando) | 309 comments Apparently Hellboy Library Edition #5 is out of stock everywhere now, so that's going on my most wanted list. I was working my way up to 5 but didn't get there in time. Hopefully it'll be reprinted soon.

Thanks for the tip, even with shipping costs it'll be cheaper than the prices people are asking in the US.


message 278: by Anthony (new)

Anthony Gallos | 19 comments I would very much like to see reprints of the following omnibus: Punisher Max, Daredevil (Bendis/Maleev) and Captain America (Brubaker).

The omnibus I'm patiently waiting to come, and most definitely will pick up, is the Snyder/Capullo Batman run.


message 279: by Rick (new)

Rick | 41 comments My top three from various companies are:

Marvel:
Thor God of Thunder Omnibus
Silver surfer (Slott/Alred)
Earth X
(Honorable mention: Indiana Jones reissues)

DC:
Batman (Snyder/Cappulo)
Saga of the Swamp Thing (Alan Moore)
Jack Kirby omnibus reprints

Misc:
I would live to see an Omnibus of Scott McCloud's Understanding Comics, Reinventing Comics, and Making Comics.

Interesting list. I think I would pick up a swamp thing omnibus by Moore. While not my favorite I would like to have it to complete my Moore collection.


message 281: by Fluffyroundabout (new)

Fluffyroundabout | 202 comments Guys there are so many new marvel hardcovers I can't get them all, so which ones should I get?
Mighty Thor (Jason Aaron)
Amazing Spider-man worldwide
All New x-men (Brian Michael Bendis)
Invincible Iron Man (Brian Michael Bendis)
New Avengers (Joanthan Hickman)
Uncanny X-men (Brian Michael Bendis)
And probably more I can't remember

Thanks guys!

message 288: by Relstuart, Mod+ (new)

Relstuart | 2964 comments Mod
I recommend picking up the oversize HCs (No Bendis Iron Man yet, New Spider-man has a solicited OHC IIRC). Aaron's Thor has two volumes with a third (vol 1 again starring the female version) and is good stuff. New Avengers/Avengers by Hickman is excellent.

One series with five OHCs out that has a lot of love from many people is Waid's Daredevil. It is getting an omnibus in the future for the first half(ish) of the run but the whole run is available right now in OHC.

I'm going to def get Thor and avengers. I'll get the Mark waid omni I'd say. The last question I have now is uncanny x-men by Bendis or all new x-men by Bendis? Thanks!

Relstuart | 2964 comments Mod
Bendis X-Men is ok (same for his Guardians of the Galaxy). I'd shoot for finding Wolverine and the X-Men Omnibus over picking up Bendis X-Men though.

Aw that sucks I was hoping the uncanny x-men would be good... Plenty to keep me busy tho thanks

Fluffyroundabout | 202 comments Hey guys I feel like buying a series I know hardly anything about and my gut is telling me to get the sin city omnibus. Is my gut right?

Ronny Trøjborg | 63 comments Hey guys

I'm new in This group and just wanted to share with you my picks.

Im Danish, so please mind my english gramma. :)

My "White whales" so to speak (expensive/OOP)

X-men inferno
Absolute blackest Night
Annihilation omnibus

I would love to get the Uncanny x-force omni and the astonishing x-men omni as Well but i Got the complete collection trades. So Those would be my "going to Pick up someday".
Wolverine and the x-men is one of those i would like to own one Day as well, but am fine without for now.
All 3 could have been in the to expensive/OOP list i guess :)

My going to but next Will probably be,

JL darkseid war pt 2 HC
The Uncanny x-men vol 2 omni that is being reprinted This month
And Thor god of thunder 1 & 2 OHC

And Im thinking about getting the Titans Hunt as Well but Im not sure yet.


message 298: by The Lion's Share (new)

The Lion's Share Nice, and welcome!


Maybe go for the Green lantern omnibus instead of absolute blackest night?

I can relate to your "whales" but i've been managing to "kill them" through ebay and amazon marketplace. It's just a matter of patience and some money (for example, i was able to buy Inferno just a couple of weeks ago for around 160€, while the usual asking price is like 300€)


message 300: by Ronny (new)

Ronny Trøjborg | 63 comments @cheese

Actually i Got the complete JOHNS GL run from rebirth (absolute) to the new 52 stuff in trades already.. but Im a sucker for the absolute editions.. and i loved the blackest Night event.. So thats why I got absolute blackest Night on there :)
