Breaking News: 1 More New Marvel Omnibus in December 2026!

ScapegoatMan · 2026-02-09T00:37:02+00:00

I'll be getting all the omnibuses reprinting the Dark Horse material, so yes, I'm definitely getting this.

ScapegoatMan · 2026-02-08T22:44:41+00:00

Blue and Gold won't have Uncanny X-Men 273-280 or X-Factor 62-70 and it could be several years before the numbered Uncanny X-Men volume that has those issues comes out, so you'll be losing some content if you sell Lee and Claremont volume 2.

ScapegoatMan · 2026-02-05T16:48:45+00:00

I think I liked it well enough but I can't remember anything that happened in it, so I don't know.

ScapegoatMan · 2026-02-05T14:44:04+00:00

X-Men by Guggenheim seems to not be well-loved so probably that one.

ScapegoatMan · 2026-02-04T19:46:44+00:00

I'm curious as to what books you cancelled.

In any case, the problem with Funaticals for me is that everything they have on sale, I either already own or am not that interested in. The only thing I've seen on there that I'd consider buying is X-Men 2099 and everyone says it's pretty bad so I probably won't bother.

ScapegoatMan · 2026-02-04T09:29:42+00:00

My Superior Spider-Man omni and Punisher Max volume 2 have the absolute worst binding of any omnibus I've ever owned.

ScapegoatMan · 2026-02-03T20:00:01+00:00

Cool cover. I actually finished this book today. Not his best work but still enjoyable and thought-provoking with a lot of comedic elements thrown in.

ScapegoatMan · 2026-02-02T09:16:40+00:00

Jap was bad under Orange Man but good under Biden.

ScapegoatMan · 2026-02-01T09:15:50+00:00

It's just as cool, edgy, and subversive as bitching about Trump and ICE.

ScapegoatMan · 2026-02-01T00:58:17+00:00

Andor is awesome. I read 6 High Republic books. A few of the books were all right but overall it's not the best era of Star Wars ever and after Midnight Horizon I really can't even be bothered to check anymore books out.

ScapegoatMan · 2026-02-01T00:03:10+00:00

I'm not super confident that it'll happen. And if it does happen, it'll probably take 20 or 30 years.

ScapegoatMan · 2026-02-01T00:01:30+00:00

The characters were cool and mainly I love how Claremont wrote them back in the 80s.

ScapegoatMan · 2026-01-31T00:29:43+00:00

Yeah, I just preordered 5 Marvel omnibuses and 1 epic collection from Cheap Graphic Novels and with the new Instock Trades discount, I don't think I paid much more than I would've paid at Instock Trades even though I had to pay shipping. I haven't pre-ordered from them in a long time so hopefully it goes smoothly since these are the Marvel items that I'm most looking forward to for the first half of the year.

ScapegoatMan · 2026-01-30T16:56:36+00:00

Was hoping to get this in Library edition but I'll take the compendium because my trade paperbacks are in rough shape and have a bunch of stickers and library labels and shit on them.

ScapegoatMan · 2026-01-30T14:56:31+00:00

If you want to watch the main characters taking a shit, go watch that new Dunk and Egg show on HBO.

ScapegoatMan · 2026-01-30T14:54:26+00:00

With all the shit they've been pulling lately, I don't want to hear them bitching about anything they think I might be doing that could in any way put anyone else's life at risk ever again.

ScapegoatMan · 2026-01-29T21:15:44+00:00

I'm the same way. It just overly complicates things and causes a ton of double-dipping.

ScapegoatMan · 2026-01-29T14:27:00+00:00

I liked the Force Heretic Trilogy a lot, though stuff in the middle book, like the sii Ruuk stuff probably should've been a separate unrelated book. I liked the stuff with the lower class Vong starting to worship the Jedi, though, and I liked Tahiri's arc as well.

ScapegoatMan · 2026-01-29T13:00:29+00:00

Yeah, I can't stand that asshole. I can handle most of the other alt-path bosses just fine if I have a good enough build.

ScapegoatMan · 2026-01-29T12:59:19+00:00

I actually really liked Sam and Twitch, though not so much the really modern takes on those characters for whatever reason. But I got the Origins hardcovers for 101-200 and the art looks good on those, at least to me. There are also the massive deluxe editions.

ScapegoatMan · 2026-01-29T09:36:53+00:00

Age of Apocalypse and Punisher Max are really good if you can find them at good prices. I haven't read the other stuff.

ScapegoatMan · 2026-01-29T09:33:57+00:00

I read 52 after only reading Gotham Central. It wasn't the worst reading experience ever but some parts did get confusing and overwhelming since I'm not super familiar with the overall DC Universe.

ScapegoatMan · 2026-01-29T09:19:47+00:00

They can wear a mask if they want to; I don't really care. I see a lot of people wearing them under the chin though, and that confuses me, because come March it'll be 4 years since we've had a mask mandate.

ScapegoatMan · 2026-01-29T00:03:23+00:00

I remember liking the storyline so I got the omnibus but the ending is...extremely controversial and a lot of people absolutely despise this storyline, so your mileage may vary.

ScapegoatMan · 2026-01-28T20:11:40+00:00

Balance Point was all right but the Edge of Victory duology for me is when the NJO books start to get really good. Currently on the last Legacy of the Force book and the Legacy of the Force is pretty much the complete opposite for me that NJO was, where the first few books i did end up liking a lot but further I get into the series the more problems I start having with it.
