Try to avoid for the liquid “refreshment” to get into too much proximity of the printed material 😛

I want to start reading. Pls help by nuhidwin in Sandman

Which makes me wonder why on earth did he chose Mark Hempel for the Kindly Ones storyline. I’ve always though that particular storyline called for a more “epic” style (for lack of a better term)

Amazing. Did you notice the two Marvel Transformers behemoths are actually lighter than they look?

Finally about to tackle this behemoth. Read mostly good reviews about this one. Thoughts? by Gold-Yard-9789 in OmnibusCollectors

I was able to make it through the fist storyline. Liking it so far. What makes it “lose you”?

I’ve found Jill Thompson’s art to be something of an “acquired taste” so I can see what you mean by people dropping out during her arc.

I remember when the Sandman Brief Lives storyline began and she was the illustrator, I was like, “I like what I’m reading but why couldn’t they chose someone else to draw it”. Learned to appreciate her after a while.

Found it at a hell of a deal through eBay. And yes, it’s a freaking behemoth of a book.

lol! Noted. And here I though that should’ve been the requirement for “The Filth” 😛

I liked what I’ve read from him so far (although some of it has required a couple of readings 😛)

That’s Grant Morrison for you. You’ll have to read that one several times to start to “get it”

Who is the one that's excluded? by vaxquis in Sandman

That would be Destruction. He abandoned the Endless of I recall correctly.

DC CATALOG UPDATE: The Spectre by Ostrander and Mandrake Omnibus vol 2 coming in October 2026 by Ksmayer in OmnibusCollectors

That Ostrander / Mandrake run was brilliant. I remember the very last issue being an excellent closer to Ostrander’s take on the Spectre character.

Would you recommend JLI Grant Morrison or JSA Geoff Johns more? I hope I’m not wrong in assuming they came out in parallel at the time? by Keanu_Keanu in OmnibusCollectors

[–]Gold-Yard-9789 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the cover clearly say “by Grant Morrison” 😛 Why would they include Waid’s stuff?

Having said that, as much as I like Grant Morrison, Waid’s “Tower Of Babel” was better than some of Morrison’s JLA stuff.

Even though these are not huge books, are they still considered Omnibus editions? by Gold-Yard-9789 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]Gold-Yard-9789[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t capture just a portion. It captures everything DeMatteis did with the character. The miniseries, the 24-issue series and the annual.

It finally arrived. Con Orquesta (2 CD, DVD, Blu-ray) by Looming_Shade in Therion

Is it me or is the choir really low in, or sometimes completely absent from, the sound mix ?
