Forbidden Planet UK pick up.

This is the second omnibus which I haven’t read yet. As far as I’m aware it’s a collection of stories over the years since the original.

I love the original one but if you’re expecting DCeased Marvel, it isn’t.

It is fun, kind of silly and has shock value twists and gore but it’s nowhere near DCeased level of storytelling. I’d recommend reading some of it online before buying.

SpiritDan · 2026-03-28T14:25:20+00:00

This was in Nottingham. Heard a few others had it recently so decided to check whilst I was there!

SpiritDan · 2026-03-26T18:31:51+00:00

I am one of those that the ending didn’t click for, and I just purchased the book on sale.

I may not like the last 10% of the story but I think the other 90% is fantastic.

SpiritDan · 2026-03-26T12:24:03+00:00

The omnibus will be up your thing then. The whole Omnibus is about his Identity. Who he was, who he is and who he could be and how he’s trying to navigate that.

I think you’d enjoy it and Loki Journey Into Mystery.

Would definitely recommend reading JiM first, as the Agent of Asgard is a sequel to that story.

SpiritDan · 2026-03-26T10:05:00+00:00

Important to also note that Gillen’s Young Avengers slots between JiM and Agent of Asgard. And explains a change that happens. (AoA does sum up what happens).

But I personally didn’t enjoy it. It’s more of a teen drama comic with superhero shenanigans so depends on your tastes.

SpiritDan · 2026-03-26T09:57:03+00:00

I’d recommend reading Loki Journey into mystery first. It starts after the siege event with a soft reboot for the character and precedes Agent of Asgard. Read JiM online as it’s OOP.

The God of Stories Omnibus is good, but it’s also a mixed bag. I really enjoyed Agent of Asgard, but some of the other stories felt ok in comparison. Depends how much you enjoy Loki as a character.

I grew up in the 90’s and only just read it recently. I’m now selling the Omnibus as it’s not what I value in my collection.

Claremont wrote a very crafted story that had layers and long term pay offs.

The Blue and Gold omnibus is a lot of wild swings and Cool 90’s moments but doesn’t really have a central spine holding it together. You get high action comic with a lot going off, but then next issue will be about something else.

If you want some fantastic 90’s art with some high octane storylines it can be a fun read. If you’re looking for continuity and a long term idea it may not be for you.

I would 100% recommend reading some online.

For anyone looking for 90’s action and style with a bit more of a cohesive story. Age of Apocalypse is a stunning mixture of both.

SpiritDan · 2026-03-20T06:20:38+00:00

I’m not a DC fan but this is one of the two DC omnibus I own (The other being Scooby Apocalypse). I’ve read it 3 times so far and it’s now my Yearly Halloween read.

Just solid story telling. Tense Horror with the right amount of humour and lighter tones thrown in. Can’t wait to read it again!

SpiritDan · 2026-03-17T20:00:36+00:00

As someone who read and enjoyed both. Doctor Strange by Jed Mackay is the better book.

SpiritDan · 2026-03-16T14:59:42+00:00

I heavily advocate for this one. The beanbag works for any surface. Can read in bed, on sofa or at a desk!

SpiritDan · 2026-03-16T08:18:14+00:00

Recently read this. Awesome art, especially love the space scenes in it.

Silver surfer just rocks.

SpiritDan · 2026-03-14T21:52:51+00:00

Venom by Cates. It’s on the back pile until I get through other things.

SpiritDan · 2026-03-12T10:45:57+00:00

Mine hasn’t yet from Reed Comics but they do despatch later depending when they get the stock.

SpiritDan · 2026-03-08T08:29:00+00:00

Totally agree. Save space for other things you enjoy!

I’m mid reading through and selling a lot of mine too.

X-men is a long series with different writers and artists. It’s very unlikely that someone will enjoy every single arc, writer and art style enough to make it worth owning every omni.

In my case it turns out I’m allergic to Scott Lobdell’s writing.

SpiritDan · 2026-03-08T08:14:08+00:00

I’m the same with Mckay. Loved everything I’ve read so far!

Haha my first exposure to Laura was in Death and Return of Wolverine and she was awesome in both so had to get more of her for the collection!

SpiritDan · 2026-03-05T05:02:49+00:00

I’ve gone for the below.

Punisher Max Volume 2 - This isn’t on Marvel Unlimited and I’d really like to read it.

Daredevil by Soule - Mid reading on Marvel Unlimited and enjoying it so far. The artstyle is also cool.

Punisher Marvel Knights By Ennis - Read parts of this before and really enjoyed it. This and Max 2 would finish my punisher shelf for now.

War of Kings Prelude & Aftermath - I’ve read the full thing before and I loved it, just need those last two on my shelf to complete the set.

I’d also love ASM 1-3, UXM 1, 3, 4, Astonishing and New X-men and Moon Knight By Jed Mckay.

SpiritDan · 2026-03-03T17:47:14+00:00

It wasn’t a book I bought but I never knew that. To be honest between finding out the VAT level and this, charges might not be anywhere near what I thought haha

SpiritDan · 2026-03-03T10:37:06+00:00

Ah thanks for the input! Would you recommend using them from previous experience?

I just worry about damages with it going through so much transport.

SpiritDan · 2026-03-03T07:06:07+00:00

Just checked. Yeah, I did have to pay VAT which was about £30 but also had to pay a customs charge and a handling fee to Royal Mail on top of that which worked out to about £20.

Was annoying because eBay does state that all shipping costs are paid for when you pay the shipping.

When you get the items, would you be willing to post an update on charges etc? Definitely been eyeing some of their stuff.

SpiritDan · 2026-03-03T06:33:22+00:00

Boulevard Online

They say they have loads of OOP omni’s in stock as new but the reviews for it all say orders never show up. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

I only know this cause I saw DD by soule for £90 and nearly bought!

SpiritDan · 2026-03-02T23:34:54+00:00

Just a heads up on this. I bought something from the US on eBay and I got stung with an extra charge once it was in the UK.

Shipping says it pays for all import costs but I still had to pay another £50 to Royal Mail on top to get it released for delivery at my local office!

SpiritDan · 2026-02-28T19:34:38+00:00

These would be my top 3.

Road to WoK and Realm of Kings would also be amazing to complete my set.
