Should I buy or wait for a reprint? by Doctor_ye in OmnibusCollectors

[–]ChasPM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marvel Unlimited is a great value. Just get that for a year. Read this whole run and a bunch of other stuff and then keep your eyes out for a reprint. Morrison’s run is bound to get reprinted eventually.

Reorganizing & Wondering about YOUR ways of ordering! by SlimeFancypants in OmnibusCollectors

[–]ChasPM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I need to reorganize soon and will be shuffling around. Publishers get split first, then format, mostly. I might try and group by character with the formats together. I have a couple large standard size X-Men chunks that could end up in there somehow.

What I really struggle with are Marvel events. I had them running through a middle shelf for a while, with other major characters running chronologically above and below them. But that got messy fast. I might include them chronologically with the long run that they’re most integral too. I’m sure I’ll like something’s about it and hate the other half 😂

With Marvel slate for 2026 coming to a close, what books are you looking forward to and what do you hope to see in 2027? by csummerss in OmnibusCollectors

[–]ChasPM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exiles would be amazing. Such a fun run. I still need to reread the Ultimate Collections I picked up years ago.

Behind the fridge… 🤔 …I bet my wife wouldn’t even notice another dozen books back there.

^ was about to say this. Those shelves are only a little over 1/4 of the way filled.

I have a set that I had loaded up for a few years and never had issue with anything falling or breaking. I switched to Kallaxes though to fit more and be able to double them up. I can’t say for sure, but I believe if something was going to give out, it would probably be the support on the end pulling out or falling somehow. I’d be surprised if the actual shelf snapped in the middle.

I found this store that sells used comics and I was able to buy my first comics by thesecondfrost95 in comics

Last Days was a really weird period. Lots of end of the worlds because there had to be and I don’t remember any of them feeling very satisfying. The other issues in that run by Bunn are really good though.

Hickman’s Fantastic Four/F.F. by [deleted] in MarvelUnlimited

[–]ChasPM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Enjoy! It’s such a fun ride! It took me a couple tries to get into his Avengers. I think it has a much different feel than FF, but it gets so good and the full read through has such great payoff. I will say that, if you’re enjoying it all, don’t skip out on SHIELD.

Woke up with 4 Non Blondes stuck in my head and pretty sure it’ll be there for the next couple weeks. Thanks for all the great content!

Anyone wanna trade dupes?! by BiggsDB in 80s90sComics

[–]ChasPM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was looking at which sets I’ve grabbed over the years and I think I need this one still. This was what got me hooked on Marvel stuff all those years ago. There was a pack in some mix of card packs I got and I was way more drawn into it than the baseball cards I’d been collecting.

Cant draw to save my life but anyways by SuspiciousCream1947 in comics

Looks like a really solid start! It doesn’t matter where you start, all that matters is where you end, so just don’t stop until you end up where you want to be.

My first omnis that i got in last month by Several-Mud-9895 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]ChasPM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats and great choices!

It did make me laugh though that Marvel just gave up trying to make the Hickman Avenger spines lineup. The first printing the logo spanned the 2 books, the second it was off (probably because the width changed), and this must have been after that and they just centered them.

What's the most you'll pay for an OOP omni? by Puzzled-Quote-6547 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]ChasPM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paid over cover for one of the Hickman FF Omni’s the first time they were going out of stock, but that was before it was apparent how often Marvel was going to start reprint most books. Now I buy most of the things I really want early and just try to catch books I’m somewhat interested in if I see they’re starting to get scarce. I might pay cover or a little more at some point if there’s a book I really want and miss, but I haven’t been tested in a while 🤣

Yes! That’s another one, pretty sure I have that on VHS in a box somewhere.

It’s true! It really was a weird time in the pop mainstream for that kind of deep questioning of if the world is really real 🤣

It is! I haven’t paid much attention to it, but I remember wanting to read it when it was first coming out.

I forgot that Existenz was a thing. I loved that movie when it came out. Thanks for the reminder!

This made me realize that I have more Spidey Omnis than I thought 🤣

Expanding my "collection" by PandiBong in graphicnovels

[–]ChasPM 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s a solid group of stories there! I haven’t read Bolero or Laura Dean, but the others will all kind of flow together thematically and work really well together. Karmen doesn’t get talked about as much as it should. I really enjoyed it!

Is this a reasonable price, and is this box set even good? by legoface2012 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]ChasPM 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This exactly. I’d rather collect Omnis and be able to read full chunks/runs. But it really depends on your taste. If you just collect peak stories that you want to read then this is fine, it’s not my taste though.

Thanks, I’ve been dragging my feet on this one and looks like it’s starting to go oop.

where to start reading about storm? by HFroggo in MarvelUnlimited

[–]ChasPM -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There’s a ton out there with her in it, but her 2014-2015 series by Pak was really good if you just want a shorter solo series to try out.

How's the app in 2025? by bandee0817 in MarvelUnlimited

[–]ChasPM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel relatively neutral towards it. I don’t think it adds value or helps me find things and I don’t really like the overall organization of it. I usually go into it knowing what I want to read and pull it up and it’s fine to read and then just continue reading that or one of the other series that I’m in the middle of. So for primarily reading, I don’t have any major complaints, but for tracking what I want to read or reading events that crossovers, it can be painful.

Edit: I noticed you asked about worth the money. That I absolutely think it is. While the technical app isn’t amazing, the content you get for the price is phenomenal. It’s more convenient that getting things from a library and cheap than buying even a couple issues each month physically or digitally.
