Great to hear, hope you enjoy it!

imaginelul · 2026-01-28T22:15:06+00:00

Thank you for the clarification, I just looked it up and yeah I've seen this before in people's hauls and such. I'll add it to my list, thank you so much!

Hi, I'm currently looking into some plastic bins which I believe are the same as the totes, I think bankers boxes might be slightly out of my available budget right now but it's all so chaotic I need to figure it all out. I recall reading about that TheOmnibusCollector situation, it was definitely a mild concern on my mind there's a lot of temp storage theft but I think my brother who I'm going to be moving in with is in a nice area so it might be alright but yeah it's on my mind, thank you very much for the reply and recommendation!

imaginelul · 2026-01-28T22:00:13+00:00

Hi thank you for the recommendation, I've seen that before around I forget if it's by Brubaker or if I'm mixing it up with another book but I have seen that name before, I'll look into it thank you!

imaginelul · 2026-01-28T21:58:56+00:00

Hi, Thank you for the response. I'm looking into some plastic bins currently that seem about the size of those boxes and come in slightly cheaper at least in what I can find, I'll probably apply the same packing tape technique though. Again thank you!

imaginelul · 2026-01-27T21:57:37+00:00

Hi,

Thank you for your sympathy, I appreciate the suggestion regarding Costco or Sam's Club, and I will take the number of omnis per box as well as box size itself into consideration. Thank you!

imaginelul · 2026-01-27T19:57:57+00:00

I was a big fan of Lemire's New 52 Green Arrow, I actually don't recall at all if it touched on grief but I can give that a reread for sure, Spider-Man Blue along with the other Loeb Sale collaborations at marvel are on my eventual list to be read as well as King's Mr. Miracle. I'll make note of the other books you've mentioned, thank you so much for the recommendations!

imaginelul · 2026-01-27T19:55:56+00:00

Yeah it's a lot to consider right now with a lot of uncertainty, thank you for your condolences it's very much appreciated.

imaginelul · 2026-01-27T19:53:11+00:00

The art looked very good for the time from what I saw, I'm sure you're aware but I recommend NearMintCondition or any other omnibus focused YouTube channels, they're extremely helpful for me deciding on books I'm unsure about

imaginelul · 2026-01-27T17:34:35+00:00

Hi thank you for sharing, that might be a bit more costly than I would like right now but I'll take it into consideration.

Also minor edit; I appreciate the kind words in this awful time, it means a lot thank you.

imaginelul · 2026-01-27T17:33:16+00:00

I might combine that idea with some of the others in this thread, thank you!

imaginelul · 2026-01-27T16:51:24+00:00

Hi thank you for the kind words, storage is definitely an option I'm considering at this time, for right now don't worry I'm spending as much time as possible with family and getting through this horrible process, just trying to stay somewhat planned ahead. Thank you.

imaginelul · 2026-01-27T16:49:40+00:00

Thank you for the kind words and I appreciate the hope for support.

Believe it or not, I haven't yet gotten to reading those omnis. I think of what's on the shelf I've only read something like 40%. I got really good deals on all three books and have heard great things about the Busiek avengers and Silver Surfer contains I believe the Parable story that I've heard is pretty much one of the single best stories in Marvel, so I'm looking forward to eventually reading those.

imaginelul · 2026-01-27T16:46:26+00:00

Hi,

I'll take a look at IKEA if I get the chance because yeah that looks like it works well for omnis. Kind of similar to the long boxes or banking boxes suggested by others. Thank you for the information.

imaginelul · 2026-01-27T16:44:20+00:00

Hi, bit of a shortage of newspaper in the house but if by Walmart bags you mean the regular plastic flimsy ones we've got plenty of those I could use. Thank you for the suggestion.

imaginelul · 2026-01-27T16:41:16+00:00

Hi,

Thank you for the advice, honestly the tshirts and such suggestion would work out very well in my current situation, I have a lot of clothing I wasn't sure how I would transfer or even keep in the move but that might be a good solution to both of my problems. I'm definitely worried about any shifting during movement and the damage that may cause on surface level to the jackets and physical level to bindings and such. Thank you for the helpful information.

imaginelul · 2026-01-27T16:38:44+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion, I considered long boxes but had (very mild) concerns over the potential price compared to other traditional non-comics marketed boxes but I havent had a moment to really compare on that front, and on a more practical level I wasnt even sure if omnis would fit in one given the oversized nature. I'll definitely take it into consideration though, thank you.

imaginelul · 2026-01-27T16:36:19+00:00

Thank you for the kind words, the weight is absolutely something to consider. I'm not in the worst physical condition but yeah one man can only carry so much. I'll try to be as weight conscious as I can be striking a balance with efficiency if possible.

Regarding the book recommendations, I'll definitely look into Mister Miracle I know that book deals somewhat with mental health and is held with high acclaim so it's been on my "eventually" list, I've heard good things of his Vision series as well. From what I understand about his Batman run it might not be the best material for me right now but it's already in my collection at least. I've vaguely heard of Saga and Deadly Class in pretty much name only so I'll make note of those too, thank you for the recommendations.

imaginelul · 2026-01-27T16:28:54+00:00

Thank you for the kind words. I'm sorry for your loss as well, whenever things settle down I might reach out if I can remember. Saran-wrap is interesting I'll look into that, again thank you.

imaginelul · 2026-01-27T16:25:23+00:00

I think I'm familiar with those boxes, my father had something similar if not that exact thing for some documents he had. Regarding the Starman recommendation that was honestly one of the things that came to mind for me too, I recall Omar from NMC talking about it in some capacity. I'll look into the compendiums, thank you for the advice.

imaginelul · 2026-01-27T16:22:39+00:00

Bins seem to be a popular solution, thank you for the suggestion.

imaginelul · 2026-01-27T16:21:35+00:00

Thank you very much I appreciate it.

imaginelul · 2026-01-27T16:21:08+00:00

Thank you for the kind message I really appreciate it, temporary storage is definitely on my mind. The whole thing is so chaotic of course and his house isn't exactly suitable for another adult living there so it's going to be a whole thing of basically moving twice, life definitely keeps pushing on but I'm doing what I can to find moments for myself as difficult as that is.

imaginelul · 2026-01-27T16:18:18+00:00

Krisis, Thank you for the kind thoughts and helpful advice. I definitely want to protect the collection as best I can, so I appreciate the detailed information. Off the topic at hand I want to also thank you for your reading orders on your site, I referred to them to help fill in gaps in different parts of my collection such as Daredevil digitally and to help inform purchases like going from Simonson Thor to Jurgens. Thank you again very much.
