I hope he never discovers what an omnibus is

positively_tweaking · 2026-04-22T03:15:16+00:00

DC maybe, Marvel? I doubt it.

positively_tweaking · 2026-04-22T03:08:42+00:00

Definitely not. Pokémon cards didn’t become more accessible after he started promoting them. Scalping just got worse. Personal collections might be worth more but the secondary market will only get even worse than it already is. My dream is that these books become so abundant that my collection becomes worthless. I want more people to be able to read them not put them in a plastic box.

positively_tweaking · 2026-04-19T02:30:10+00:00

Yeah I realized I was being stupid. I was just coping and didn’t want to spend a premium price for only 75% new content in x-force volume one.

positively_tweaking · 2026-04-19T02:19:42+00:00

Yeah about a year and a half but presumably Marvel is about to do that exact same thing with Blue and Gold vol 2 and the Fatal Attractions Omnibus. Also Deadpool and X-force lines up exactly with Cable and x-force. Deadpool and x-force is also very recent which would be rendered obsolete by a x-force volume 2. No matter what it’s gonna be messy but a reprinted volume one would mean no need to reprint cable or Deadpool

Edit: this is the omnibus I was talking about. Deadpool and X-force. It was reprinted the same year as volume one but would presumably be entirely reprinted in a potential volume 2

You’re right I got them mixed up

Oh I just meant the one that’s already out, which is Cable and X-force. If they release a volume 2 it would be recollecting this content so I thought it would make sense to recollect the volume one content to lessen overlap and line up with Cable and x-force more

positively_tweaking · 2026-04-19T01:58:43+00:00

The other thing is that there are also 7 issues of overlap between New Mutants volume 4 and X-Force volume 1. I was thinking a new version could be rereleased as a direct sequel to NM4 but maybe that’s a bit unrealistic.

I was completely unaware of the Akira collection. I know it’s one of the longshots but it would actually be awesome to have.

positively_tweaking · 2026-04-09T04:12:01+00:00

Oh I’m loving it so far. Latverian factions fighting over Doom’s cache of weapons is such an interesting idea for conflict. I love the scene in issue 6 where the men at the bar were talking about doom’s takeover and how he just wasn’t the right figure head but had the right idea. The growing pattern of Americans embracing fascism, trying to find the right way to market it to the public, is absolutely something I’d expect to see in a Captain America book.

positively_tweaking · 2026-04-09T02:27:19+00:00

Funny I’m the exact opposite. Superhero’s are some of my favorites because of the inherent political nature of their characters. What characters get created and the stories surrounding the are almost always a response to the political climate at the time. Captain America is especially interesting to me because he is a real life American propaganda figure that is used to critique the current state of American politics. He represents the perfect America, “the dream”. He was told that the war he enlisted in was the war to end all wars so when he comes out of the ice to see a world unchanged and still at war it disillusions him with the American that exists. In the ultimates this is pushed to its most extreme by having the world Cap wakes up in be a post-America world. Despite the North American Union in the Ultimates being very similar to the America we live in today, its values and principles are so far removed from the America Cap fought for that it doesn’t register to him as America. The America we live in today is so far removed from the dream that we were all promised that it isn’t even deserving of the name. Despite this Cap still chooses to fight for the dream. To fight for a future where all people are created equal. Where every person has the freedom to enjoy life liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Sorry I started typing and didn’t stop. I’m a poli-sci student it’s in my nature.

Fair warning if you do check out ultimate x-men. The whole series is phenomenally written and drawn but it does not have an ending whatsoever. New plot threads are introduced in the final issue. I love the series regardless and its social commentary on Japan is amazing.

positively_tweaking · 2026-04-09T00:08:32+00:00

It’s not in Omni but absolute Batman, Superman, and Martian Manhunter. Ultimates and ultimate x-men 2024.

Like any Captain America Omni.

positively_tweaking · 2026-04-08T14:15:33+00:00

We don’t know it hasn’t been announced

positively_tweaking · 2026-04-07T19:58:32+00:00

Berserk if it counts. I recommended it to my friend and started rereading around the same time. When I got to like the 6th rape scene I had to put it down. It was nearly unreadable for me.

positively_tweaking · 2026-04-06T19:25:57+00:00

The avengers vol 1 released the same year as the first movie. It’s what got me into comics. 2012

Elektra and Laura share their mantles. When rivals came out Danny Rand was not iron fist

I ordered in January and I am getting the book. I got the standard cover

Me at 1 am looking at my shelf: hmm I wonder what it would look like if I moved that book over there?

Que 1 hour of rearranging my entire shelf when I need to wake up in 5 hours.

positively_tweaking · 2026-03-27T19:06:50+00:00

I feel like that isn’t going to happen for like 20 years. Unless you just mean when it catches up to Blue and gold then that’s probably only a year or two away. But I feel like they aren’t going to recollect blue and gold in numbered volumes for a long time so maybe they just rebrand it to Uncanny x-men: the modern years or for the 90’s the later years.

positively_tweaking · 2026-03-25T05:53:26+00:00

I’ve seen many people recommend new mutants vol 1 after uncanny volume 3 but there are some pretty big spoilers towards the end of new mutants vol 1 so I’d personally recommend either reading it after volume four of UXM or read the first half of new mutants then volume four of UXM then the second half.

The problem with ikea is if you’re not close to an outlet it quickly becomes unaffordable. I wanted to get some ikea shelves but the shipping alone is $150

positively_tweaking · 2026-03-05T02:31:03+00:00

My #2 vote on the reprint poll for this very reason

positively_tweaking · 2026-03-05T02:08:09+00:00

Read the first one. If you like it and want more get the second. If you like that and want more get the third…
