is the black vortex event any good? do i need that to understand whats going on in ANXM?

I think it is the worst event Marvel has done. Even worse than Axis or Fear Itself.

is that even possible?
i start to believe the conspiracy theory about the end of the UXM/X-men series... soon enough noone will care.

Is it any good? Meh...I couldn't finish it. But it didn't seem AXIS bad to me. I just didn't want to pay for the issues. Probably worth it on marvel unlimited in a few months.

Do you need it for ANXM? Some things won't make sense, but if you have passing knowledge of the event you can get by. There's a pretty big character change that happens in the event. But I understood it fine without finishing the event.

Yeah, it's definitely not engaging. But I liked Fear Itself.

If marvel was going to take down X-Men, even a peg, they wouldn't take the Guardians, Star Lord and Captain Marvel with them. I think the event was just rushed to beat secret wars, like Axis.

Why can I not find the Aaron Wolverine omnibus for a decent price in the UK? Thing seems to be on clearance in America and can be grabbed for the equivalent of about £35, but if I want it here, I have to pay at least £55!

Pissing me right off.

It has been oos one cgn for awhile now. eBay usually has it going for less than $50

Granted it may suck, but I'm not sure there is anything today - "event"-wise - that is worse that Axis.

There is a lot of Marvel stuff in the CGN sale that I would personally guarantee will become scarce. Not that everything in the sale is about to be flushed OOP, but some of it has been lingering for quite a while. Think: one-off collections of past crossovers that can't really be collected otherwise, 1st volumes of strong runs, OHCs of classic material. Good time to fill some holes!

Also, take note: many (all? - nope, no FF vol 1) Epics included in the sale at 55% off!

[Brewman]

So despite the current and past bashing of Axis I just ordered it from CGN on the sale, at $19.99 I figure it is worth it just to not have my UA Omni end mid plot line. Guess I will see what all the hate is about when I get to these in my backlog.

Classic variant of DD Companion just went for $557 on eBay. This is just getting absurd.

With the upcoming Power Omnibus Vol. 1, I'm looking at my shelves and thinking about how lonely my Ultimate Spider-Man Omnibus Vol. 1 and New Avengers Omnibus Vol. 1 must feel. Do you guys think the same thing could happen with Powers? What about USM and New Avengers? Will we ever see the release of a Volume 2?

For Spidey and New Avengers Marvel lost me for these on the Omnibus line. I bought the whole shabbang in OHC and I am, although glued, satisfied. Same goes for the Mighty Avengers. I am thinking about skipping the classic Spidey too, because I have all the latest MMWs, so it would just be double dipping anyhow at a high price just to get a bit more width and height with inferior paper....

I have a secret ballot going on over at the MMW YUKU forum. Just follow the link and let me know your ten most wanted marvel omnibus and I will tally the votes and reveal..This is my third year doing this.

Hey Tigereyes, is there not a separate thread on CBR as per last year which we can bump?

If not, will sending you a PM suffice?

So I need some help to figure this out. I want to collect the overall marvel Comic story line. I see the readinglists with tpb and so on. However I only collect Oversized hardcovers, omnis and ultimate collections. What am I to buy? So far I got these

Infinity Gauntlet omni
Annihilation omni
Annihilation Conquest omni


So what the hell do I do now. As I see it I should buy Realm of Kings HC and War of Kings HC or wait and hope for Marvel continue their Omnibus line with something like Annihilation:Realm and Annihilation:War Omnibo. Is there any HC, Omnibo or Collections I am missing? And I do not want to start buying the trades.

Was looking at Guardians of the Galaxy by Abnett & Lanning: The Complete Collection Volume 1+2, Will it make sence to buy these and read after Conquest?
