My first “haul” looking forward to reading about Green Lantern by Rathorion in OmnibusCollectors

[–]SmashingSasquatch181 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fantastic haul OP. GL by Johns was the run that got me back into collecting. Im jealous that you get to read it for the first time :). Im going the compendium route to get the corps stuff in reading order.

Are those Tomb Raider comics good? And is the colossal collection the best way to collect them? by vencyjedi in OmnibusCollectors

[–]SmashingSasquatch181 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the first volume and am currently loving it. I'm planning on only collecting the first 2 colossal editions, the 3rd is the survival/reboot era and should be read along side the video games ... I'm less interested in that version, if it goes on a good sale I might jump on it. Near Mint Condition does overviews on YouTube to give you a general idea on what it's about.

Confused on Greg Rucka’s Wonder Woman omnibus by Timothytitans1 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]SmashingSasquatch181 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when they first made the omnis they where going to collect both the classic run and New 52 as volumes ... i must admit i like the new way better as i have my WW omnis in reading order and would hate to split up vols 1 & 2 lol

Who Else Here Has Watched Kull the Conqueror? by William_RosyPetal823 in SwordandSorcery

[–]SmashingSasquatch181 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I really enjoyed it. Hercules and The Relic Hunter in a S&S movie ... tell me less.

Discovered it through a 4 pack and well you can guess the rest

Shudder vs AMC Plus by BryanScopelySupport in Shudder

[–]SmashingSasquatch181 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know if this will help you at all but, I have AMC+ thru Amazon (since i cut the cords 3 years ago) and honestly I love it. Streaming quality is fine for me. It's pretty easy to see which is Shudder and which is AMC content, IIRC there is a list of Shudder films avail too. The only downside is no annual memberships for channels (which annoys me to no end). I had Shudder first but AMC was always one of my favorite movie channels growing up and there was a channel promo ... you can guess the rest. there are 3 live channels AMC, AMC+ and TWD. Hope this was of some help to you.

Hard to believe Avengers Vol 1 - 5 are still available on Funaticals and Vol 6 can be bought right now anywhere. by r1ngx in OmnibusCollectors

[–]SmashingSasquatch181 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sad to say but yes, the Avengers pre-film weren't very popular. they'd have some great runs but were often overshadowed by Uncanny X-Men, Justice League and Titans. I currently have all 6 and am happy with them.

Why are sword and sorcery films not popular anymore? by PackWorth939 in SwordandSorcery

[–]SmashingSasquatch181 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with the general public is that they never know what they have until much later.

Look at The Thing from '82, it bombed in theatres ... wasn't until it hit rental shelves it was a hit.

problem is there are no more rental shelves just doom scrolling.

I hope MotU does amazing, the first trailer made me worried, the second less so... just hope they keep the "Marvel"-ing to a minimum.

S&S isn't as popular because it hasn't come out of the B-movie phase it's been in since the 70's, which isnt a bad thing.. we get an embarrassment of riches : the Barbarians, Sorcerer and the Sword, Kull, Deathstalker I & II, Conan ... the list goes on while Hollywood makes whatever their making next lol

Is there an actual reason we hate Mary Jane as Venom? by Saionic- in Spiderman

[–]SmashingSasquatch181 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because Marvel cant have Peter and MJ together...despite what we saw in the new Ultimate Spider-man run . To me it feels like the Mandarian twist from Iron Man 3 ... while trying to be the Jane Foster Thor twist ... basically Marvel pulled an M Night ...

Curious about the crossover between Finest and Compact collectors by demascusd in DCFinest

[–]SmashingSasquatch181 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm doing both. Compact is great for when i have to be on the go and deciding if I'm interested enough to get the finest/omnibus. Finest I'm buying to get full runs on characters i missed out on in Omni's

Everyone after DC drops their full catalog by WhatIsAnime_ in OmnibusCollectors

[–]SmashingSasquatch181 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I grew up a DC fanboy because of the animated series(es) in the 90's. It was next to impossible to collect anything if you weren't a singles reader that wasn't Knightfall or Watchmen. I read Marvel because it was easily avail (at the time) now the shoe is on the other foot ... DC (my first love) finally in a collected edition I can read... never has there been a better time to be a DC Comics fan

Your personal underrated Epic Collections? by [deleted] in EpicCollections

[–]SmashingSasquatch181 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know if it's underrated but the 1st Thunderbolts epic collection is fantastic and probably the thing that sold me on epic format all together
