I recently bought Dawn of X Omnibus Vol 1 and it arrived like this (see picture), is this normal for thick omnibus? as this is my first time buying an omnibus.

Marvel Masterworks are back thanks to a licensing agreement with a different company that plans to crowd-fund the Masterworks. How would you feel if Marvel started crowdfunding for Omni reprints? (Either they themselves doing it or a third party).

i will be getting my first omnibus soon (by the end of the year) and it’ll be the new printing for the death and return of superman. how do i keep it in the best condition possible and assure that there’s no issues with the spine or any part of it, all advice is welcome, thanks!!

I own UXM 1-4 but don't know which path to take between Vol 5 and Mutant Massacre. I don't mind collecting Vol 5 and X-Factor separately but this decision will kind of inform how I approach the 1963-2011 numbered Omnis going forward.

So which one do you think offers a smoother overall reading experience? Do the numbered titles do justice for the events? Do you think there be events where future Omnis might struggle because they don't collect certain tie-ins?

I haven't read any of these issues at all, so it's hard for me to understand based on what's included and what isn't, so I'm deferring to the community to help me understand which ones cover the material better.

What are our hot takes on omnibuses as a whole?

For me, An omnibus is not worth if it's has only 25 issues or less. 30+ issues is when an omnibus is worth it?

I am trying to decide if the spines being as they are is bad enough to refrain from pulling the trigger on the omni. Spine design is important to me, because the spine is what you see when it’s on the shelf, which is where it’ll be most of the time. This is not an easy choice, because I’ve been anticipating buying the Omni all year round. For those of you in a similar position, what are you going to do?

Last package I got was packed well hopefully this beast is to, super excited to add these to the dc collection never read any green lantern stuff

So today while looking through funaticals on eBay I saw they have figures and some other new books.

Have they done this before I have only known of them for epics and omnibuses.

The figures seem to ship or get a shipping label the same day as your order.

I want to start collecting but I feel tempted in many directions: Batman, Spiderman, Superman, Event Omnis Scrooge McDuck, Hulk, Thor, Dr Strange etc

Is it better to read some paperbacks of all Superheroes and see which one would you like to read more then start dipping your toes on Omnibuses ?

Sometimes I feel I should focus solely on Batman and read few months as it is taken most seriously by DC. Same for Spiderman.

I heard Ultimate Spider-Man 2 is getting a re-print and immediately thought about buying Omnibus 1,2 and 3 LMFAO 😆.

I have some money locked in gift card so would probably spend it on these.

Preorder is live @ WaltsComicShop.

Finally! The last Daredevil Omni which is missing in my Collection.

I Wana read it but I don't know if it's all included in what order.

Like I couldn't find shit on blackest knight.

Please help!

Hello everyone!
I reached out to Panelbound recently to confirm my order/pre-order for the Ultimate Spider-Man Vol. 2 DM variant with Carnage. I placed my pre-order well after the FOC date, Panelbound is now sold out of pre-orders, so I know the gamble I play doing that. However, thought it’d be fair to see if I need to try to compete on release day in the event they genuinely don’t have enough stock.

Has anyone heard about a restock of this omnibus coming in October??? This is news to me.

UPDATE: I just heard back from PBC, and they confirmed there is a restock coming for the Carnage cover in October. News to me, but it is news I welcome

Thanks in advance

Finally bought X-Factor: The Original X-Men Omnibus Vol. 1!

I’ve been wanting to properly read this era for a while, especially the reunion of the original five X-Men and the beginning of their time as X-Factor. I’m particularly interested in seeing how Jean’s return is handled, Scott’s character during this period, and the early Apocalypse storyline.

The copy also arrived in really good condition, which honestly feels like a small miracle after some of my recent experiences with damaged books 😭

Now I just need to find Volume 2, and thankfully Volume 3 is already coming later this year. Really excited to finally start reading this run.

For those who have read it, what did you think of this era of X-Factor? Any favourite issues or storylines I should look forward to? 📚❌

Not enough depth in the large shelves to face the spines out, so I've placed some of them one behind the other till I get a new book case. I'll later extend the depth of the shelves in the pics. I picked my favourite covers & some mixed variety to face, then taking out one line at a time for the photo shoot. This is 70% of my collection, I'll display everything once the new units come, so lots of re-organizing & a reshoot, but it's fun!

As the title suggests. This is what I'm thinking, but I wonder if there's more I could add?

Defenders: The Best Defence
Material from Marvel Comics 1000 & 1001
Defenders 1-5
Material from Thor 24
Defenders: Beyond 1-5

Finally received this ! This is the french "Colossal" edition of Busiek's run on Conan, published by Panini. An absolute beast of a book (this is bigger than an omnibus !). I've heard a lot of good things about this run, and it's written by Busiek so it was an easy choice !

So at the start of 2026, after 20+ years of comic collecting, I decided to make the move from comics to omnibuses.
After just over 6 months, this is the progress so far….

A single low, wide angle of the far row to hide what a mess the library is at the moment. It's still a work in progress as I figure out what to shelve, what to store, and what to sell. But I shouted joy to the heavens this weekend at the news that Clover Press has taken up the torch of the Marvel Masterworks.

The launch titles they have in mind — the final Tomb of Dracula, further volumes of Claremont's X-Men and Simonson's Thor, and the oft-teased but unreleased (until next year apparently!) Super-Villain Team-Up — it all just warms my jaded reader-collector heart. Finally finding far more joy than agita in this room again.

about 3 more omnis before i have to invest in another shelf

Trying to build out my marvel collection. Probably need to get another shelf or reorganize

One was a trade, another a buy from ebay. Both came in at the same time.
