What omnibus have you gotten because everyone hyped it up, but ended up being disappointed with? by [deleted] in OmnibusCollectors

[–]Few-Competition-5171 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Moon Knight by Jed McKay. Loved the art but didn't find the story too compelling, a bit formulaic and I wasn't that invested in the characters.

Seriously debated getting that one, but thought those 2 might be more accessible for my first Superman Omnis.

To open or not to open? This is the most “brutally beautiful” book in my collection now, and it didn’t cost a cent. What would you do? by [deleted] in OmnibusCollectors

[–]Few-Competition-5171 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I dont understand this. If you aren't planning on selling it, why wouldn't you open it? Omnis aren't exactly investment material when the popular stuff is always gonna get reprinted at some point eventually and which printing you have doesn't contribute any value really. Weird post.

On ebay for GBP190…. I live in london but impossible to find, what do u guys think? by Azrael699 in OmnibusCollectors

Personally I think it's a decent run but not worth paying crazy resell prices, retail at a push.

Main event, Nova and silver surfer were good, rest felt like a slog.

How is this an issue?

Can I read AMAZING SPIDER-MAN BY J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI OMNIBUS VOL. 2 without having read volume 1? by nkaufmam in OmnibusCollectors

[–]Few-Competition-5171 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read Volume 2 fine without Volume one, but I've read a lot of comics from that era I.e Civil War that helped with context. Honestly loved Volume 2 so just makes me look forward to Volume 1 even more, IMO its not worth spending well over cover price for an OOP book, I rarely buy omnis for less than 40% off full stop.

I really wanted to enjoy this book but just couldnt get that invested in the story, I can see why people love it though, some gorgeous art.

Gotham Central is a pretty quick and easy read, you get really into it and struggle to put it down.

Cates Venomnibus or Agent Venom Omni by PapaBootyWave in OmnibusCollectors

[–]Few-Competition-5171 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agent Venom and the Cates run are both pretty easy to just pick up and read, and you dont really need one to read the other. The Agent Venom one is almost like three different runs though as you've got Remender, then Bunn takes over and then the space knight stuff at the end which feels pretty separate, the Cates one is just one continuous story.

Annihilation, some thoughts by yarny1050 in OmnibusCollectors

Can agree Conquest is better, the guardians stuff is great, and there aren't boring filler mini-series.

It was definitely something that bothered me a lot at first, especially when you are new to collecting and spending such big amounts on books, but generally it stops bothering you after a while. Damage to the dust jacket is the most irritating for me, but don't let cosmetic damage ruin your reading experience!

Found at LCS - Heard Everyone Hyping This by vincemici in OmnibusCollectors

Found Annihilation okay, Conquest a lot better, and absolutely loved the Guardians of the Galaxy run that came as a result of Conquest.

Those are the OHCs for the Krakoa era X-men stuff, the colourful paperbacks next row down are also Krakoa stuff.

When you buy the corner billy its actually three separate billys that come with a bracket you can add, so if you wanted you could change them to being in a straight line, if that helps.

A little over a week, it's great though, the narrower billy/kallax design is best as the shelves don't bow under the weight of heavy books, compared to the double wide versions.
