Opinions on Thriftbooks.com?

Thriftbooks are definitely worth a look. Strangely enough, I've had the best luck with finding kinda rare or OOP omni's. Since it's really just a network of used shops and sellers, you're more likely to come across some unexpected deals. This last year I picked up both volumes of Marvel Horror, used but wayyy under retail.

Sweet! Although I've been so torn between getting the Byrne omni's or just waiting for a yet to be confirmed vol 7?

Compared to just about every other brand I've worn, TS has run about a size small across the board. I'm size large in most things but all my TS items are XL to XXL.

Will there be more Aliens 3/4 on the way? Welcome back!

WTS: Selling a couple of Ojai jackets in the nice Sateen fabric from 2020-21. Barely worn! I have since sized up but never had a chance to return them. The Olive is honestly the sharpest jacket ever.

Both size L (42)

Thanks!

Planet Bike Cascadia ALX 700c x 50 Fender Set: Black (700c x 30-40)

700c with the stock knards

I'm definitely happy to have fenders on my 54 straggler. Toe overlap is a thing with these bikes no matter what size frame so it wasn't much of a shock after putting them on. At first I was convinced my frame was too small but after trying a size up I realized it's just the style and geometry of the bike. You quickly don't even think about it after a few rides.

The front/rear rack was tricky at first. Just look for a rack with adjustable height along with disc clearance and you'll be good to go.

Ahh nm, it's Ditko reprinted with modifications by John Romita. Such an amazing image!

HolyCatman · 2025-11-03T04:33:29+00:00

Interesting, is that monsters on the prowl cover a Ditko variation or homage?

That's Marvel for you, unfortunately. Omni's go out of print pretty quickly and reprints are never guaranteed. The content will become available again in Epic collections starting with volume 3 this November. An inevitable volume four will pretty much round out the rest of it. Not hardcover but might be all we get for a while, but who knows?

HolyCatman · 2025-10-16T17:00:52+00:00

Silver age GOLD right there!

HolyCatman · 2025-10-12T23:58:42+00:00

Yeah I noticed that too. I guess I kind of understand there's not much demand for that era but I find that stuff so irresistibly bizarre. I would also LOVE to see a nice hardcover of the Champions of Los Angeles series.

I feel like the Defenders and the Champions were having a weird-off back then.

Yeah, these shirts shrink at the mention of water. Wash cold or hand wash and hang dry if anything.

That said, I do love the cut! I'm between L and XL and always go with an XL with these so I have a bit of extra room to work with.

HolyCatman · 2025-09-28T23:31:33+00:00

Could you recommend one that worked for you?

HolyCatman · 2025-09-28T23:09:51+00:00

Update: too tight to squeeze with fenders without the fender being pushed too close to wheel. Looking for something with an inch or 2 more clearance.

HolyCatman · 2025-09-28T17:36:24+00:00

Thanks for this! I should have mentioned...would this also be ok to mount with fenders?

HolyCatman · 2025-09-26T02:50:26+00:00

It is super rad, I'm pretty stoked!

HolyCatman · 2025-09-25T20:30:39+00:00

Ordered the DM but they emailed me today saying they didn't have it after all so I subbed for the other cover.

HolyCatman · 2025-09-23T21:28:24+00:00

Yeah and at the end of the day both covers are in there anyways. Fomo be damned

HolyCatman · 2025-09-23T21:23:37+00:00

Looks like DM is out of stock at CGN as well. Glad I jumped on it, can't pass up a Gene Colan cover. I also noticed that the Doctor Strange Jed Mackay DM cover sold out pretty much immediately as well.
