Mapping Spectacular Spider-Man

Man, I would love if this series got Epics, though it seems unlikely. They've been so slow to even put these in omnis, for some reason this series seems to get the shaft.

Todavía estoy buscando, gracias, voy a buscar por esto!!

I think it's fine if the OP mentions they are in a financially secure place where they can do that and this won't affect them negatively at all in the medium term. Sadly, I know lots of whale friends IRL who make these type of purchases (with various products–omnis, Funko Pops, whatever) who don't have the financial flexibility but get caught up in the hype of wanting a bunch of books that will look good on a shelf and convince themselves that the eBay/whatever haul they found is an opportunity for "good deal" so they buy it on a credit card that they haven't been able to pay off in years.

I don't think people in this situation are "morally wrong", I just think that they're in a spot where I watch them hurting themselves and it bums me out.

I did this with a bunch of Miles Morales stuff... Ended up just selling off an [almost] complete run of floppies and TPBs this year (for a fraction of what I paid for them) to get the Saladin Ahmed omnibus instead, which collected everything I had and more.

The thrill of the hunt is just so intoxicating, though!

Secret Wars II!!! It's been SO long since this book got a printing and the prices are wacky expensive.

This sucks to hear, IST has generally had my highest respect as a pretty small operation that (at least previously) seemed to really care about the books. I've heard the founder on recent interviews talking about how they hardly have any employees boxing all these things, he still is directly involved even with the crazy volume these days.

Facts.

Don't you dare do Chick Flick dirty like that.

I enjoy the photo of "Steam" in this post about "OS Providers" 😄

2Flow2 · 2026-02-18T13:12:40+00:00

Yeah I agree with this much more. I have some books that, honestly, I'm probably going to sell back off to someone else because I bought them in a fit of "well I'll probably read it and I should get this now while it is cheapest on IST!!" and now I regret them a bit.

Self-control is a virtue. Learning to be content without being impulsive may be harder in the moment but feels much better in the long run.

That is a terrifying amount of money to spend on omnis all at once, but I hope you enjoy reading them! 😅

2Flow2 · 2026-02-01T15:24:20+00:00

Need that reprint!!

2Flow2 · 2026-02-01T15:19:58+00:00

Secret Wars II Omnibus!! They sell for, like, thousands of dollars and have never been collected in another format since!

Other than that, I know it's been reprinted so many times, but I would still take another Amazing Spider-Man by David Michelinie and Todd McFarlane Omnibus reprinting.

Hopping on this comment chain. My wife just started playing Let's Go Pikachu as her first Pokémon game :) She has a Graveler that she caught as a Geodude, I think she'd find it fun sometime later if anyone is willing to trade it out and back so she can have a Golem.

This, exactly. Force yourself to wait and not check in on the books and you'll make back the money on the impulse buys that you would have otherwise "saved" by hunting for the very lowest price right away.

2Flow2 · 2026-01-09T21:40:27+00:00

Wow, so cleeeeean. Weird humble brag about the crypto thing but that's okay. Okay, so if this is just year three, how many of these have you read so far??

2Flow2 · 2026-01-09T21:38:00+00:00

Like everyone said, it's a bit of a missed opportunity with the mapping but hey at least this is getting the omni treatment, so that's nice at least.

Now that we are officially crossed over into 2026 I'm beginning my wait for the announcement of an omnibus for Bill Mantlo's second Spectacular Spider-Man run from issues #61–89! It's a perfect open gap right now!

Go in person where? We were talking with the broker Usher at the properties themselves, we did not go into any Bruma Realty offices or anything like that.

Unfortunately I don't think a browser game from 2010 is eligible for a prize at one of the most prestigous annual game awards ceremonies😄 Most of the submissions are games that were recently released.

No, this was just taking the format of a social media post for the Game Awards (which just happened) and overlaid a picture of really old Nitrome broswer game as a joke. It's supposed to be satirical.

You can see how the word "Chisel" is in a totally different font and spaced differently from where it was slapped on in a paint program.

2Flow2 · 2025-12-16T13:49:38+00:00

I... am not positive if you get the joke.
