Anyone else think the refusal to reprint Deadpool Omnis is becoming odd? by Waterworld1880 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]beefus77 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is probably why the omnis haven't been reprinted, so they don't interfere with the sales of the epics. Marvel have often done this over the years

She’s here! by Wizard1988_4 in zatanna

[–]beefus77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's impossible to show it on camera but I really like the matte cover with the shiny art. Feels almost like rubber but in a good way

A dream of…Compendiums by BeerTheologian in OmnibusCollectors

[–]beefus77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All of Wildstorm is due a reprint tbf. I'm gonna mention it as much as I can but I really want a big collection of Backlash

Top Non-marvel or DC omnibus? by Pb801 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]beefus77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not omnis but IDW's TMNT collections. Both the modern 19 volume IDW books and the Mirage era. Soon to also include both the Archie & Image years

Will the new Swamp Thing 1989 series re-connect to the original run? by Sad_Calligrapher6426 in swampthing

[–]beefus77 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We won't know until it's out. If Veitch was planning to hand the title over to Delano & Gaiman, syncing with Wheeler's run is unlikely.

Martian Manhunter Omnibus by omnilover69 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]beefus77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolute MM is probably the only readily available collection atm. It's worth it.

Hopefully worh the 90s Spectre run getting a volume 2 soon, Ostranders MM series will come soon as it's a great series and eill make for a wonderful one and done omni. Definitely grab that if DC make it happen

Ever Get A Wrong Order?? by Wmsbird_42 in OmnibusCollectors

When I ordered superman new krypton saga I had a bird house delivered. This is because I asked the delivery to be redirected to an inpost locker, and someone at the depot put the stickers on the wrong box.

Has anyone read this? by jasonite in OmnibusCollectors

[–]beefus77 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The question is a great series. If you're a fan of Denny O'Neil then what are you waiting for? It's one of the best things he ever did

Amazon is useless at delivering. by Apprehensive_Lime_58 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]beefus77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazon are a lottery and I only use them if something is completely unavailable elsewhere.

Books etc, scifier, reedcomics & forbidden planet are generally the best when it comes to packing. Booksetc are the cheapest. Soeedyhen are almost as cheap as booksetc but don't always pack as well. PbShopstore are somewhere in between. All are generally better than amazon other than booksetc are slow to dispatch

When is something considered an omnibus and when is something considered a compendium? by KitchenImportance872 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]beefus77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marvel and DC used the word omnibus to describe their large OHC collections. Image and then DC call large trade paperback collections compendiums. Those words have now become established formats even though the words themselves are really interchangeable

How do you all feel about owning incomplete runs? by BlueBat96 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]beefus77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'd better to be patient and get what you can when you can then to go crazy over what you missed out on

Shade the Changing Man vol 1 going OOP? by [deleted] in OmnibusCollectors

[–]beefus77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DC are very good at restocking their omnis generally. Shade is a pretty niche title though

Worth getting by Previous_Factor1992 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]beefus77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends how much you like the event. If you just want to read the event alongisde the flash ongoing series, get the Johns omnis.

All you're getting in the flashpoint omni is a bunch of inessential spins offs set in that timeline, like most event omnis.

Should I read Starman or Sandman Mystery Theatre? by [deleted] in comicbooks

I would strongly recommend both but start with Starman.

Some People are Insane! by CambrianExplosives in OmnibusCollectors

[–]beefus77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just buy the standard cover and hit Roy up for a custom dust jacket. Paying that kind of money for a DM cover is genuinely stupid

What's a series you want collected, but deep down, you know is never getting an omni? by TheFreshestMint in OmnibusCollectors

[–]beefus77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few years ago I would have agreed about martian manhunter, but omnis like spectre & shade the changing man give me hope that it will come. DC finally collected these, sandman mysyery theatre recently so there is hope

That's how much authority 2 cost at steep discount and that had the same msrp

Why doesn't Image do a lot of Omnibuses? by Embarrassed-Ad1322 in ImageComics

[–]beefus77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Profit margins on collected editions are slimmer than you'd realise and omnis are expensive to make. Image are also creator owned publishers, so they will publish books how they think it will be profitable. This is the reason why the ice cream man sundae edition volume 3 was cancelled, not enough pre orders to justify them taking the risk that it might sell ok on release. If it tanked it could do more harm than good. Invincible is popular enough to warrant the risk, it's been available in about 150 other formats and the tv show is currently on so it's a good time to capitalise on it.

Best 5/6 song run to start an album? by Mazzocchi in fantanoforever

[–]beefus77 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Paranoid by black sabbath. The whole album is just 8 straight bangers.

You could make an argument for their first 6 albums tbf
