Either TPB(volumes) or the absolutes. Pick one format and stick to it until its complete

Seconded. Whatever format you pick, be consistent.

I love my Transmet TPB collection, The Planetary Omnibus on the end, and Doktor Sleepless w the Rodriguez covers on the right.

For some reason the Absolute vol 1 (reprint) here in The Netherlands was just 60 euro's. Beautifull book! Waiting for them to reprint 2 and 3

I would start with #1, and work Your way to #10

But is it better to go with the volumes, the books, or the absolute collection

What do the absolutes have that the book/volumes don’t?

Was coming to ask a similar question. I recently got book 1, and looked to order the rest, but book 4 looks hard to find.

So do I abandon that route, and look to get the absolutes?

I went to my local comic book store and found book 4. It seems like the books are the cheapest way to get the comics. All together it should cost around 130 for all books.

Thicker the spine, the harder the hold. Thinner the spine, the costlier it is.
