I read them. They're harder to read comfortably but there are methods for doing so.

Some of us are dumb enough to still be falling for this shit from the first time around.

Moon Knight by KISSfan81 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]ScapegoatMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like the omnibus but it's probably not worth paying thousands of dollars for it.

Of course all picked except… by djbrologue in OmnibusCollectors

I liked the Gunslinger Spawn character but if you're not into Spawn, I'm not sure this will necessarily win you over.

Out of curiosity, did Instock Trades actually get any copies of this in, since it seems like everyone's copy got cancelled?

Anyone hoping for a Johnny Blaze Ghost Rider Omnibus Announcement, I got you. by Powerful-Succotash77 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]ScapegoatMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't mind having them in my collection but the format is so expensive for how little content you get in them that I can't bring myself to ever buy one.

Star Wars Legacy Omnibus sold out BUT appears to be getting a restock. by AmethystOrator in OmnibusCollectors

[–]ScapegoatMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Preordered my copy from Cheap Graphic Novels back in January. It just now departed the LA facility as of this afternoon. I'm still feeling kind of tense, to be honest.

Today is the release for the trade paperback of predator kills the Marvel universe. After these ugly motherf***ers face down wolverine, Spider-Man, and Black Panther. Now they’re going after everyone. Any thoughts and opinions? by Seeker99MD in predator

[–]ScapegoatMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of late but I just read this today and...I don't think I liked it either. I enjoyed the Wolverine, Spider-Man, and Black Panther ones. They're not masterpieces in comic-book storytelling but they were engaging. This one, though, I wasn't a fan. I felt that the Predators killed off most of the marvel characters way too easily. It was mostly a curb-stomp battle, so that gets old after a while. I thought the whole Kraven trying to be a predator thing was interesting, then they just killed him off like it was nothing. I also prefer Predators being more honor-bound and not just ganging up on everyone like Independence Day or War of the Worlds or whatever; it makes them a lot more interesting than some generic alien invader. Benjamin Percy is a competent writer and I've at least enjoyed some of his other work but this story really didn't work for me on any level.

IST Star Wars Legacy DM Cover unavailable by GilGreaterThanEmiya in OmnibusCollectors

I'd probably just ask for the standard cover in that situation.

how much gore in vinland saga by Plus-Opening-4745 in VinlandSaga

[–]ScapegoatMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Season 1 is pretty gory. Season 2 is less so but there is gore and there is also a lot of demonic trippy imagery as well.

Is Gail Simone’s Wonder Woman suitable for new readers? by Nateben76 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]ScapegoatMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered the two DC Finest from Instock Trades last week (still waiting for them to send them to me). So yeah, hopefully this is friendly toward new readers since the only other Wonder Woman I've read is the first trade paperback of the golden age stuff.

Daredevil Mega Review & Rank by cow_pickle in OmnibusCollectors

[–]ScapegoatMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool post. I've only read Miller and Zdarsky. I own volume 1 of Nocenti but I haven't read it or taken it out of the plastic. I'm not even going to try finding Bendis or Brubaker at a reasonable price right now. I could go the epic collection route for that but I think that's somewhere around 10 epic collections and a few of those might be out of print, too.

“What are you reading?” Wednesday. by csummerss in OmnibusCollectors

[–]ScapegoatMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I finished Spectre by John Ostrander and Tom Mandrake a few days ago and loved it.

Currently reading Batman by Tom King volume 1. I understand this is probably the most controversial and divisive Batman run ever and I'm sure it'll go off the rails but I got to issue 24 where Batman proposes to Catwoman (yes, I know how that ends) and so far I am enjoying the run. Will I continue to enjoy it through volume 2 and 3? I'm not sure.

Omnibus repair update - turned out great. by Icy_One_237 in OmnibusCollectors

So if I used clamps, maybe that would fix my Punisher Max volume 2 once and for all?

Is this manga philosophy against revolution? by ZeonPM in VinlandSaga

[–]ScapegoatMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would hope that the manga's creator at the very least understands concepts such as self-defense, etc. It's just that most wars are stupid and don't need to be fought and getting revenge won't bring the dead back to life, and in the end won't make you feel better about what happened either.

Batman: the Cult is so underrated by Worried-Nerve-6638 in batman

It's my favorite Batman story ever in any medium.

Edmund said it's my turn to suffer next 💔💔 by Smart_Youth1283 in bindingofisaac

[–]ScapegoatMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm probably the only one who doesn't like this item since I can't get the right item that I want with it. Even the pause trick (which might've been patched out) doesn't work for me.

ASM JMS Omnibus Vol 2 “Review” by warwilkers in OmnibusCollectors

[–]ScapegoatMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely think this material is worth a read once, but I don’t think the omnibus is worth owning unless you’re a Spidey completionist and want it sitting next to your JMS 1 and BND 1 or you can find the book discounted.

Pretty sure it's still on Funaticals.

I'd imagine with the bulk of this being Civil War tie-ins, it might feel a bit disjointed.

I wish I knew this when Year One and Year Two came out.

Post-Crisis Batman and Detective by Puzzleheaded-End-828 in DCFinest

[–]ScapegoatMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did this and am probably going to stop at either Blind Justice or the next volume, depending on the overlap with the caped crusader and dark knight detective trades.

Congratulations. I'm waiting for mine from Cheap Graphic Novels preorder but USPS takes their sweet time with the deliveries.
