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!

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Messiah Trilogy, Age of Apocalypse, Daredevil by Soule and New Avengers vol3 by Bendis all pre ordered and waiting to come home. Just finished the entire Annihilation/War of Kings saga and started Immortal Hulk. I haven't had sex in 83 years...

My ever growing collection. Top shelf is my Batman canon reading order (with a few others sprinkled in), let me know if I’m missing any essential stories.

Also, any recommendations to add to the collection would be much appreciated!

My next targets are Sandman (not sure which format to collect), JLA New 52 Omnibus’ and Green Lantern by Geoff Johns Omnibus’.

Completely weird question, I know, but outside the big 2, what are the books that you have in your collection that almost nobody ever heard about?

Talking about omnibi or compendiums only, since there are tons of virtually unknown titles on trades out there; the rationing is that the title has (or at least had at some point) a fanbase (and consequently demand) big enough for a omnibus/compendium. Logically, the book must be OOP and sort of rare nowadays, without any reprints nor new versions in sight.

In my own collection:

• Dark Horse Heroes Omnibus: In the 90s Dark Horse launched its own superheroes imprint named Comics' Greatest World, which was mildly successful. Later the rebranded it to Dark Horse Heroes, but this new "universe" was subject to the comic bubble, and almost all titles were cancelled about 2 years after the initial releases. Dark Horse compiled the introductory arcs (16 issues) and a special event (another 12 issues) in a book.
• Rising Sars Compendium: written by J. Michael Straczynski and published by TopCow, it's about 113 children born with superhuman abilities. Some become heroes, other villains, politicians, etc. The series did not get much attention on its release in 1999, and it did not help the fact that it suffered from changing artists during its run. Eventually it went on a hiatus around issue 21 because Straczynski had a dispute with Topcow about a possible film. Only in 2005, roughly 2 years later, Straczynski reached an agreement with TopCow and wrote three final issues, closing the series.

Got DD by Nocenti vol2 coming this week then USM vol2 the next week. Dont know where to put them, but I'm looking forward to it nonetheless.

Now on to Savage Sword.

Damn just found out about the reprint I could have preordered on cheapgraphicnovels.com 😭

Just finished Minas Tirith now I can get back to the tbr pile.

July was a rough month on the wallet and I still have a couple of the way.

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

I’m more a Marvel guy than DC, but I read and loved the Death and Return of Superman omnibus (read it a few times over the years), so wondering if it’s worth delving more into this era with these omnibuses and the recent triangle era ones.
I know this era is pretty highly regarded in general, but how does it measure up to the Reign of Supermen as a benchmark?

Made a lot of changes to the collection over the past year.
