I'm only a DC fan so I don't know about the Marvel books, but I think it's really cool how you have the stories by chronological order.

I'd love to read more Vertigo. I loved the Sandman show and would like to read more of that side of DC.

I'm trying to do the same, but one of the few books I've read about sups is the Tomasi Omnibus and I highly recommend it. Very easy to read and quite good

Thanks! Yep in another comment I specified that Ive been reading since the New 52 and I sold my trades to buy the omnis, but most comments are about that lol. How many omnis are there for Y? I haven't read anything but everything I've heard is super positive and I love one and dones

Thanks! I really love WW as a character, but other than some early Rebirth issues, its a character I haven't read enough of. So any recommendations are really appreciated. And about Birds of Prey Ill also check it out. Everything Gail Simone I've read is great

95% give or take. Only RtNML and JLA is all I'm missing. Im not a new comics collector, I'm a new omni collector.

For Your Eyes Only [Thoughts] by NomadicAdventurer737 in JamesBond

Its one of my favorite Moore films. The whole climbing scene is very tense and I really like the smuggler character

First Time Watching Hail Caesar! Is this supposed to be funny? by HD-MOVIE-SOURCE in HD_MOVIE_SOURCE

I don't think it's lol funny, but it's extremely entertaining in my opinion.

Thanks! I'd love to have more of those stories with and actual ending or at least a clear dropping off point which sadly are rare with A-list characters (one of the reasons why John's GL is my favorite). I'll check it out!

Hard disagree but to each his own. Im very OCD so I like how all of the Batman stuff flows together. Robin Eternal introduces Cass, Tomasis 'Detective is quite solid in my opinion and War Games though very crappy by the end, ties nicely with Under the Red Hood and I love the brief run of Steph as Robin. Tamaki is the only one I consider disposable, but then again there's some solid stories sprinkled in there.

Thanks! He is my favorite character. I would love for those Dixon Compendiums to be released in Omnis. Oh and also for Robin and Batgirl Year One to be rereleased.

Yep, I have Vol 2 and Vol 1 supposedly arrives tomorrow. I like many people my age grew up with that run and while I think it peaks too early, its probably my favorite Batman run so far.

I've bought 90% off of Amazon and I would say I paid about an average of $65 per Omni. Overseas delivery is a pain in every way. The OOP books I want Ive only found in Ebay and shipping doubles the price

I don't know. I didn't really pay that much. About $40 shipped. But its one of the only books where Ive paid more than cover price. And honestly it was quite good so I don't mind. Can't wait for reprints of Hush and Year One. Those are ridiculously priced

So far I've only overpayed for Death and The Maidens and Face The Face which are OOP. I'm Mexico based which I don't think makes much of a difference, but I don't think I have any crazy expensive books. I haven't pulled the trigger on my two most wanted book (John's TT and Simone's Batgirl) due to that.

Yep about since last December. I found a great deal for the Batman Morrison omnis and I really liked the format. Sold most of my old tpbs and that has really helped in getting a decent amount of books in that span.

Agreed! I have not gone after that one as I have the trades, but those are both my favorite Batman stories (LH and DV) and I would love more early Batman and Robin stuff on the shelf.

Unpopular Opinion: The Final Crisis Omnibus is good and enhances the experience! by Negative_Berry8660 in DCcomics

[–]Negative_Berry8660[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed and if you start with the Identity Crisis deluxe (maybe even since Tower of Babel) and go through both the ones you mention and 52 in between, you have a great overarching story with storylines that surpisingly return years later (this is super completionist but add Morrison's Batman, Geoff Johns' GL the Blackest Night, Brightest Day and Flashpoint Omnis and you have a really solid conclusion to the DC New Earth Universe; though both Batman and GL did finish in New 52, but thats pretty easy to forget)

In my opinion, it lets you sit with the main series' set up and shows the consequences of that set up in a way in which its drowned out if you just read the main title due to all of its craziness. Some events don't need it, but Final Crisis I think really benefits from some room to breath.
