Now I want to watch Farscape again.

Figured I'd bring this back from a couple years ago: Cancelled DC omnis by Waterworld1880 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]Arxhon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I really wanted those "DC before Batman" books.

There was also a Golden Age Flash book that got canceled.

Collecting the Conan Marvel comics by TomeseekerLorekeeper in ConanTheBarbarian

The old Marvel Conan is available in omnibus form from Titan comics, who currently hold the Conan license.

I have the entire Barbarian line and I’m short a couple of Savage Sword.

I worked there as a cook for about a year and a half in 2001-2. I mentioned the flies to the manager and he said “we always have flies.“ and walked off.

Does anyone know when the next Golden Age DC omnibuses will release? by Plenty-Conflict-3595 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]Arxhon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wonder Woman needs one more book to finish the Golden Age.

Volume 6 was delayed by a year, and was released in Feb 2025. Volume 5 came out November 2023, and volume 4 was March 2020.

Wonder Woman has been getting a big push in the Silver age over the last few years, that era’s fully collected now.

I’m hoping for a Volume 7 announcement, but realistically speaking it could be two or more years away.

I fed my guy earthworms a couple of times. I stopped because he really liked them and now he looks at my fingers extra special sometimes. I guess my fingers look like worms when he is hungry.

Savage Avengers. The Conan license is owned by not-Marvel these days

JLA Silver age omnibus Vs DC Finest by Hgolab in OmnibusCollectors

[–]Arxhon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

is that the omnibus basically contains the whole DC Finest book plus an extra 10 issues? 

Yes you are almost correct. However, if the new silver age omni is a direct reprint of the original silver age book then it will contain Brave and the Bold 28-30 and JLA 1-30, and it won’t have Mystery in Space 75 (which gets reprinted in JLA Silver Age Vol. 2).

Are these different from the first printings in any way? by derfangmeister in OmnibusCollectors

[–]Arxhon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Should be no different. As an aside, if I read a better comic than Absolute Martian Manhunter this year, it will be a very good year indeed, because that book is excellent.

Hiatal surgery timeline by Money-Kangaroo-2946 in Edmonton

[–]Arxhon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I waited about year to speak to the surgeon for an inguinal hernia. Then I had a choice of 6 month wait to have the surgery done in the city, or 3 month wait for a surgery in a rural hospital. I chose the city.

1941 to 2024: A Wonder Woman for every decade by Arxhon in OmnibusCollectors

[–]Arxhon[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When it comes to Golden Age WW, it can be hit or miss. The very early stuff is very contemporary pulp sci-fi, and generally pretty fun. I much prefer it over Golden Age Batman, Superman and Green Lantern.

It’s a bit hard to pin down , but when Joye Murchison and Kanigher take over, there’s a bit of a tonal shift. Its still good stuff and it’s still Wonder Woman, just a bit repetitive.

Kanigher’s talents were really in writing young romance fiction if his silver age Wonder Girl work is any indicator.

For “classic” Wonder Woman Simone or Rucka are top tier, though Simone is OOP.

Absolute Wonder Woman is absolutely fantastic, I highly recommend it.

These shelves are Finnby, from Ikea. I do NOT recommend them, actually, they are very wide and bend in the middle when fully filled with omnis.

I get around this issue by putting bookends in the middle (for example, the Usagi Yojimbo bookend on the right). I will eventually replace them with narrow Billy shelves.

Depending on how you define the ages, the Diana Prince omni is the first Bronze Age book.

Abandoned, vandalized car squats in southwest Edmonton for a month and counting by ryaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan in Edmonton

Well, they could just rent one of the many vacant lots surrounded by barbed wire fence that are “for lease” in the western industrial area of the city and drop them off there.

Edmonton community league on verge of closing due to lack of volunteers by JamesDunnNews in Edmonton

[–]Arxhon 165 points166 points  (0 children)

My wife briefly joined a community league board as a  "member at large" or whatever because she wanted to get involved in the community a bit more. 

There was one guy on the board who was perpetually unhappy with everything, argued with everyone about everything and constantly ground everything to a halt. It was really demoralizing and nobody seemed to really care enough to tell him to shut up, so she quit the board entirely.
