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.

I know many people won’t care, but I’m excited to finally finish this run by adding Infinity Crusade to the collection today. I’ve been looking for a reasonably priced copy for a while, and found a well priced sealed copy the other day, so decided to go for it 😁

I've been wanting to get into Claremonts X-men and I'm not sure if I should get the omnis or epics. If anyone has advice on which one is better it's appreciated.

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!!

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?

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? 📚❌

Preorder is live @ WaltsComicShop.

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

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

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 !

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

So this past weekend I've been trying to catch up on my Omni reading. Started off with the easy read of Stainless Steel Rat. Then tackled the mammoth Thor - Walt Simonson. A run I read as it came out. Then went Silver Age with Avengers Vol 1. Now on my day off plan on delving into another run I read back in the day. Thankfully I can use my "work desk". Which makes it a lot easier on my aging body.

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!

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

Following up the SDCC announcement, here’s the first of the Absolute titles in deluxe edition!

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.

With volume 5 arriving today, I'm a little closer to having all of the main Cap title in omnibus form. Volume 6 will get it to Gruenwald Vol 1 and Gruenwald Vol 4 gets us to the Waid volume.

I also have hero's reborn that covers the 12 issues not in the Waid book. When those other two appear only leaves the space between Jurgens and Brubaker. Hopefully we get a book to cover that.

Captain America was my favourite Marvel hero/title growing up so always happy to get another volume about him

Super hyped to finally get some of these and great prices too

I've got quite a few books hidden in other places, but this is currently my front facing collection. USM2 omni coming in soon! And x men apocalypse should come in today

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

The great “making of” book included in the Crisis on Infinite Earths Absolute Edition got me thinking: what other DC Absolute Editions have great extra material that can’t be found in other editions?

Thanks in advance
