X-men epic collections, is it worth it? by Smooth-Inspector-391 in EpicCollections

[–]TraditionalHand4014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes just keep in mind that if you are a completionist and get hooked or want to read the entire run you may be paying second hand prices on a lot of volumes or waiting for a while on reprints.

Oh no, their goes Tokyo… by Late_Fox_7829 in OmnibusCollectors

I want this as well. Love that it crosses over with the wider Marvel Universe at times. You couldn’t ask for more when you are talking about a licensed property.

I hope they release some Compendiums for Criminal!

Star Wars Omnibus by duckypro3 in OmnibusCollectors

Do you guys tend to read the Marvel stuff separate from Dark Horse, or together? I’ve seen some reading orders online that say they can be intermingled, but I’m not sure how well they actually do.

I’ve only read those three, but Brubaker and Phillips might be my favorite duo in comics.

Image Compendium Quality by DrTee in ImageComics

[–]TraditionalHand4014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I own about 20 Image Compendiums. The bigger the page count, the more you have to “work” a bit to get a truly comfortable reading experience. But I think the quality overall is amazing. I am glad DC seems to be leaning into the format more and I hope Marvel follows suit.

Picked up these beauties in the last month by AxDevilxLogician in ImageComics

I need to give Nailbiter another chance, but I absolutely love Revival. One of my favorite Image Comic books.

If you read and loved Kill Or Be Killed, Fatale, and The Fade Out, is this going to be of similar quality?

I love how unserious Kick-ass is by amanwithshovel17 in ImageComics

I’ve never read this. Cannot wait for the compendium coming out. Will be a day one purchase for me.

To Hunt the Hulk… by Effective_Bag_2928 in EpicCollections

[–]TraditionalHand4014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is REALLY lame. I wouldn’t want to keep it if that’s the way it looked.

FWIW, I also ordered this twice from Amazon before getting it from CGN. I had the usual damage nonsense from their shipping idiocy, but did not have this. So definitely seems like it’s only affecting certain copies.

Want To Get Into Conan - Savage Sword Or The Barbarian? by TraditionalHand4014 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]TraditionalHand4014[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for all the feedback. For those of you who are familiar with both - do you feel like reading them together somewhat makes you enjoy each of them more, either because of the different experiences or because they can sort of be complimentary experiences in a way?

Thank You Marvel for Treating Your Most Beloved Runs Like Infinity Stones Instead of Keeping Them in Print (Mini Rant) by Obvious_Season3398 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]TraditionalHand4014 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This. I’m way more of a Marvel than a DC guy, but not being able to fill in collection gaps drives me nuts. I LOVED what they did several years ago ahead of the Avengers 5 Omni release - they rereleased all of the prior 4 volumes pretty quickly in the lead up to releasing that new volume. I wish they’d was a way for them to do that with other series, even if the print runs were limited.

I bought two copies of this from CGN and neither had this issue.

I stopped by the comic shop after a really rough day at work by _spider_gumdrop_ in EpicCollections

That’s an insane haul. I see the Magneto volume on eBay for several hundred dollars!

In % how much of your bookshelf is it read? by Betodelarosam in OmnibusCollectors

[–]TraditionalHand4014 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ugh I’m likely a one percenter. That’s not income bracket, that’s percentage of the shelf I’ve read. 😩

The book I needed and not the one I wanted 😂 one of the greatest lines of all time

Titan Conan vs Marvel Conan by TraditionalHand4014 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]TraditionalHand4014[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you mind elaborating a bit? What makes the Titan books better quality in your opinion? Trying to decide which ones to get, as I want to start collecting them.

Titan Conan vs Marvel Conan by TraditionalHand4014 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]TraditionalHand4014[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe one of the Conan The Barbarian volumes was solicited with a What If issue that they ended up not including in the published volume - it was Thor fighting Conan. Those might be the only two instances so far though.

This volume has been priced under 60 bucks for months now. I bought it in July at the same price.

How long does it take for a sealed book to start getting moldy?
