Thanks Raffi . . . . . Geez 8 a month is crazy. Looks like I have some homework to do if I want to get back into this madness!
Hey guys . . . . I've been out of the game for a few years now. I used to be a pretty regular buyer of omnibuses as they came out. I would sometimes buy one to read and one to resell when they would...
Hey all . . . Been awhile since I’ve been around. I’m thinking of getting back into collecting Hardcovers and Omnibuses again but I am curious what the resell market has been for the last year or...
Does anyone buy current issues and them sell them when the arc, run or whatever ends and buy the trade/hardcover?
Any luck? Do you take a big loss? Break even? Make money? Just curious what...
Hey guys, I've taken a break from Marvel since the end of Secret Wars and I'd like to catch back up. What's essential since then? I picked up Jessica Jones and I realized that I have missed quite a...
So what are some of your all time favorite runs, arcs or events? Collected or uncollected and any company? I'm looking to grab some new reading material and I'm looking for some recommendations,...
Most of what I have are omnibuses and deluxe hardcovers. I also have some oop tpbs. I guess I'll keep plugging away. I don't HAVE to sell them.
I know a few people on here have sold off their collections and I am looking for some advice. I have been going the amazon and ebay route, but its kind of tiresome making all the listings and the...
Week 3 in the books . . . .
100 Bullets 15-19 I forgot a lot of this from the first time I read it. Really enjoy picking up on new things since I know the characters better and who sticks...
This week was not as productive for me. I fell off on reading Marvel from the beginning but I did manage to read.
Batman Rebirth
Flash Rebirth
Harbinger 15-21
Incredible Hulk 3
Journey Into...
I tracked my reading on Goodreads last year and ended up reading 105 collected editions for 32,520 pages. If I divide that by 25 its about 1300 comics. I hope to eclipse that this year. I also...
I've done a number of binds and I always do the buckram cover. I like the old school library look to them. Its like going to the bottom floor and finding all the old World Book Encyclopedias or...
I just picked up an iPad Pro 12.9 and all I can say is WOW! The screen is omnibus size, but tiny TPB weight. Its a total luxury purchase, but its fantastic. I decided to sell off some of my higher...
I'm late to the party on this one, but I enjoyed Omega Men. The first few (5 or more maybe) weren't really my thing, but I try to finish everything I start and the second half of the trade was...
I've read the first 20% of Shang-Chi Master of Kung Fu vol 1 and I have enjoyed it for the most part. Basically it is Shang-Chi wandering around foiling Fu Manchu's plots, avoiding being killed and...
I started with only ohcs and omnis but have recently been buying more tpbs. I found I like the smaller size compared to the giant omnis. Also selling some and replacing with the cheaper complete...
It looks like only 1 and 4 are out of print. I recently bought 1 from IST so that has gone OOP in the last few months.
I've read the first few trades and I think its fine on its own. They make some references to Fabletown but nothing that you are missing out of that I can see at the moment. There is a crossover...
I know you said you only collect in oversized, but you may want to give the epic line a shot. Even if you skip the omni and decide later you want to read it, you will likely be able to find the epic...
I received my 2nd order from cheap graphic novels via amazon the other day. It was packed in newspaper and a plastic grocery bag. Inside the box was an ad for them touting great packaging and the...
I agree on all the Brubaker recommendations. Also Human Target has a similar feel and tone to those other books. Its not really crime but I think it fits.
I guess that was my problem. It didn't make me care about the characters. They just seemed whiny. It was page after page of the "why am I so sad" and "whats wrong with me" I felt the same way...
I tried the first trade and I couldn't make it through. So much pointless banter and soap opera stuff.
I recently came to the same conclusion. In fact I think I prefer TPB to omnibus. I like to finish a book when I start it and 25 or maybe even 50 issues of a series is more than I want to read at a...
HAHA. I never said I couldn't hold it, but its not as comfortable to read over a long stretch of time.
I guess you could qualify that by saying the Simonson Thor omnibus is a chore, but something...
