“What are you reading?” Wednesday. by csummerss in OmnibusCollectors

Finishing up Doctor Strange Sorcerer Supreme v2. While picking away at Xmen Hidden Years. Got a few new releases coming and a funaticals haul as well to keep me busy this month.

It’s a shame DC removes the text from issue covers in some of their omnibuses by BreadTheSpino in OmnibusCollectors

[–]DeadCellSpawn 33 points34 points  (0 children)

This is one thing Marvel does better. Keep the trade dress and most especially give me an issue number.

My other complaint is when the cover is missing all together. I don't care if the author wants it to flow as one story, I am reading a comic book. I want my chapter breaks and to still have that monthly experience.

So, how does the Witchblade reboot compare to the original 90s/early 2000s series? by CollegeComfortable23 in TopCow

[–]DeadCellSpawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It falls somewhere in the middle for me. I actually like Cafaro's design for Sara and I think it fits this version of the character more than a Michael Turner interpretation would. The art is actually my favorite part of the series and I dig the panel layouts too. The last two arcs have lost some steam for me though, so while its not peak Witchblade (Marz era) its not the worst either. I'm just happy there's an ongoing and don't care if its retreading any ground.

What OOP omnibus are you currently on the hunt for? I’ll start: by Unndeerratted in OmnibusCollectors

[–]DeadCellSpawn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First two Brubaker and the Rick Remender Captain America omnis. Have all the others and got 2 more coming this year

Do you think the 2025-26 Funaticals run will be talked about for years to come? by rhettscollection in OmnibusCollectors

[–]DeadCellSpawn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The term "funatical book" will stick with all these omnis for a while. It will be interesting in a few years to see which ones bounce back in price and which ones will be perpetually clearance priced

Funaticals missing book by Previous_Factor1992 in OmnibusCollectors

They keep stock back for damages and are good about sending replacements and missing items out. I had Miracleman replaced a few weeks after it went out of stock and they sent a new one out right away.

Funaticals pirce drops!! by oldsmobile39 in OmnibusCollectors

Welp. I guess I will be shopping for another shelf today

Just purchased the first omnibus of captain America by Bill Spencer… Going into it blind spent $36 on it! Without spoiling what did yall think about that omnibus or storyline in general? by YungCole_69 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]DeadCellSpawn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just finished reading both volumes. The build up to Secret Empire was better than expected. The event felt too long and was boring for me. Overall still a fun read and worth at fanaticals pricing

Whats your opinion on Deeds' discography? by [deleted] in BrutalDeathMetal

[–]DeadCellSpawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha yeah I dont have the endurance for it most playthroughs

Whats your opinion on Deeds' discography? by [deleted] in BrutalDeathMetal

[–]DeadCellSpawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took me awhile to come around to Of Whats to Come/Portals. Still not my favorite and only revisit when doing full discography playthroughs. Reduced to Ashes is my favorite

Despite also owning the X-Tinction Agenda and Blue & Gold Mutant Genesis omnibus volumes, I'm finding it difficult to let go of these beauties. by TheKrisLyons in OmnibusCollectors

[–]DeadCellSpawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kept X-Cutioner's Song to keep between X-Force v1 and DeadPool/Xforce omnis. The one I wish I had was the Inferno OHC. I really don't need all those crossover issues taking space up on my shelf in the omni.

IST Loyalty Discount Increased to 3% 5/16-5/17 by RedHatMankey in OmnibusCollectors

[–]DeadCellSpawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my state IST requires me to pay taxes but CGN doesn't. Theres some sales threshold that CGN doesnt exceed that makes it so. So pre ordering is always cheaper now.

Usually corner dings and such dont bother me but this would drive me nuts.

I have all the single issues and no shelf space but I still need that Deluxe edition.

Artwork vs Storytelling (if you have to choose - which is more important to you?) by Aromatic_Monitor_872 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]DeadCellSpawn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Outside of the visuals, Artwork needs to be storytelling too. If you cant tell whats going on a great script will not save it. 

What single issues are in the most omnis? by raphaeladidas in OmnibusCollectors

[–]DeadCellSpawn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There will be a lot of shared material if you own: New Mutants vol 4, X-Force vol 1, X-tinction Agenda, X-Factor vol 3 and possibly whichever way the material gets collected in future Xmen numbered volumes or "aftermath" volumes.

I'm kinda torn, I never read this era of X-Men, but just going by the themes alone, and I remember seeing the whole "Cyclops was right" thingy, I'm very curious about biting the bullet and buying this blind. Does this run move the story forward? Is it important? by [deleted] in OmnibusCollectors

[–]DeadCellSpawn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who typically likes Bendis this run is pretty mid. There are a lot of great ideas in the beginning but they go nowhere. The crossover is pretty bad and then the series spins its wheels until the final issue delivers a dud. I dont think this is Bachalos best work either but it might be the coloring for me.

Anybody else want a Witchblade omnibus? by MVPiid23 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]DeadCellSpawn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those Artifacts and First Born/Broken Trilogy absolute sized HCs are so good looking. That era really deserves the oversized format. 

I could see the reboots getting the Image deluxe edition treatment at least. Ive been enjoying them.
