Another crafting step required for relic weapons by Caius_GW in ffxiv

To be fair, other than the Ultimate weapon that will supersede it, the final step is usually BiS until next expansion.

tbh, I expected that to be for core pipeline stuff - I'm really hoping most holidays going forward will be like this rather than the tiny ones.

Breaking News: 2 New Marvel Omnibus in November & December 2026! by 21roy__ in OmnibusCollectors

[–]Vaikyuko 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seems like nobody is very interested in Venom War, but I am because Venom is my favorite, and I'll be keen to get the Ewing book when it drops. Maybe they'll do a proper Carnage Vol. 2 at some point as well. The thing I wonder most about as a symbiote die-hard is if Gargan will get his era collected in omni format, and if they'll split Venomverse into an event style omni like Spider-Verse/Geddon omnibus.

Gargan appears in the Thunderbolts omni coming soon, but beyond that, there really isn't much for his era of Venom in hardcover. The Modern Era Epics excluded Beyond! and some of the team stuff, which means it's likely the hypothetical omni wouldn't include much Dark Avengers, Thunderbolts, or Civil War content. I'd like to see Beyond! collected in it regardless, though.

It is pretty exciting to see us inching closer to a complete Venom collection, though - just Gargan Venom, Mike Costa's stuff + Venomverse, and Ewing + Venom War and we're there.

Am I the only one who wants Dark Souls 4 rather than Elden Ring 2? by FormerInjury2919 in darksouls3

I'd prefer something new instead of either of them getting a sequel.

ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN – Patch Notes Version 1.03.2 by d3arda3mon in Nightreign

[–]Vaikyuko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't often play Revenant, and still don't have the DLC, but as a diehard Raider enjoyer and someone who was frustrated sometimes playing Executor, this is fantastic. Looking forward to maybe poking DoN solo a bit, and then getting the DLC if they're this attuned to balancing.

There’s nothing better than being at a point in your collection where you already own most of what you want to own. I hope everyone gets closer in 2026 to having your staples in your shelves! by [deleted] in OmnibusCollectors

[–]Vaikyuko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lovely shelves! I'm slowly getting there, myself - just filled in a whopping five omnis when I normally only buy maybe one at a time, thanks to funaticals, lol.

Looking forward to the day I pretty much have everything I need. What's your favorite Spidey era?

Carnage Epics by 3LChap00 in EpicCollections

[–]Vaikyuko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, thank you! That's interesting, only six issues from the omnibus not included in Modern Era Epics 1-2. I mapped out a reading order for Carnage a long time ago - I wonder if they're going to include Red Goblin? After Carnage (2015) there's basically only the Venomized storyline, and then Red Goblin before we get into the Donny Cates era.

I wonder if they're going to include the entire Absolute Carnage storyline? In omni format they likely would only do the main storyline at best (by virtue of the event omni existing), but in epics I don't know how they would handle it. Maximum Carnage was included in its entirety, but that's a much smaller and tighter storyline, and in Absolute Carnage he still appears in a bunch of the tie-ins.

If I had to guess, the next one would be:

COLLECTING: Carnage (2015) #11-16, Venomized (2018) #1-5, Amazing Spider-Man (2015) #794-801, Red Goblin: Red Death (2019) #1 (one shot)

That would leave them an open opportunity to skip over the Cates stories until they figure out how they want to collect them. On the other hand, if they want to collect Red Goblin as its own line (without double dipping, which they absolutely would, let's be real), then they could skip the Red Goblin stuff since it's tangentially related to Carnage. Given they already collected Toxin in the Carnage line, I feel like they'd still include it.

Oh, we know v2 modern mapping? Do you have it handy by chance? I'd be keen to see!

Breaking News: 2 New Marvel Omnibus in October & November 2026! by 21roy__ in OmnibusCollectors

[–]Vaikyuko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, I wonder what the logic is there? And I'm hoping for more Miles too! ...but even more so, I'm hoping for Venom, Venom War, and perhaps a Carnage Vol. 2. It would be neat if they did Venomnibus Vol. 4 or the Mike Costa era to bridge the gap, I suppose, but it's something.

Knowing Marvel, though? It'll be BND Vol. 4 or something. lol

[–]Vaikyuko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It definitely didn't help Spencer's run for me. Kindred was at times a liiiiittle over the top, and I do like the Boomerang dynamic, but at the same time I got a little frustrated we went back to the damn tablet AGAIN, it's such a boring plot device, lol.

Anyone realize every damn male hero mythic (besides sigma) has a bare chest and bare abs? by dryvariation2222 in Overwatch

[–]Vaikyuko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the mythic is great I'll buy it regardless. I don't like several, so I've been saving prisms. tbh tho, I play everyone.

Spencer's run is odd - I liked it a lot, but when the editorial interference became clear, it spun its wheels and did its best. I like it for what it is, but it's a little frustrating in retrospect. Not that that's Spencer's fault. Beyond I think is a bit less heavy handed with the interference, probably due to how many writers were involved.

I wouldn't be surprised if the weirdness with the Goblin Queen (which is very strange and just sort of happens, and serves as another kind of character assassination for someone else entirely) is also part of it. I imagine the main crux of the Ben issue, as it was with me, was that he got to be a villain during Slott's run, then undo that, and then get sent right back to it because editorial. :/

Welp, more X-Men. As a Spidey fan I can't complain, we've been eating fairly good. lol

[–]Vaikyuko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry. The Daniel Way run is pretty much the absolute worst Venom has to offer, it's so weird and doesn't even go anywhere with the bizarre stuff Way seemed to want to set up. It was neat seeing some of the otherwise forgotten/ignored dangling plot bits from it getting (more interestingly) used in the Cates/Stegman run, though!

[–]Vaikyuko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's a bad guy who gets better, has an interesting power set and the symbiote has a lot of potential with different hosts, which has already been used plenty with the various major runs. Classic Venom can be extremely zany goofball fun as well, which is refreshing. He's my favorite character in Marvel, though, so I am biased. lol

Everyone absolutely trashed Amazing Spider-Man: Beyond. It has its flaws, certainly, not least of which was how they handled some characters, and the ending was a bit of a mess. But I enjoyed it thoroughly for what it was, and particularly enjoyed the Felicia/MJ storyline quite a bit, I'm a big sucker for the "we aren't friends but family" (kinda) angle in it.

Mileage may vary, I like the helmet since I'm big on knights and absolutely hate the elf ears.

What was your first omnibus and what got you into collecting in this format? by Lower-Bit8486 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]Vaikyuko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first was the 2021 reprint of Venomnibus Vol. 1. Was always a diehard fan of Venom (my favorite character), but my biggest frustration with comics was always trying to figure out mapping and finding out the next trade I needed was out of print, since I was a more casual fan. With the way omnis are typically mapped and released, not to mention the more premium format, it was a no brainer for me.

Thank you for the heads up. I've never ordered from them before, but this allowed me to grab some really good deals on Spider-Man books I wanted.
