The plural of Omnibus is Omniboo
I got it from a guy on Marktplaats (Dutch Ebay) who sold both the Devil Dinosaur and Eternals omnibus. After a quick mail exchange I started to get the feeling he had no idea what he had so I made a offer I would make with every 20 issues omnibus and he accepted it. I'm soooooo happy

Man, I love me some Devil Dinosaur and moon boy and Eternals! I think that material is fantastic but it always seems to be so negatively regarded. I don't know...its Kirby and the king still made great comics IMO . Love the 70s Cap run as well! Haters be damned
Hi All!
Hope you can help me. I'm writing here from Poland so sorry for any mistakes in spelling correct. Recently i have bought few Marvel Omnibuses second hand. And all of them have no Dust Jackets... is it possible that anyone can send me scan of dj from omnibuses:
- Ultimates Millar Omnibus,
- FF vol 2. Hickman Omnibus,
- Howard the Duck Omnibus.
If somebody have them i will be grateful...
Cheers!!!
All those books have the same type of bindings, but I've had more difficulties with my Simonson Thor omnibus than the other two, so maybe it's just a case of a slightly lower quality print run? Theoretically they should be the same. They're all sewn and I could be wrong, but Im pretty sure they were all manufactured in China. Sometimes quality is worse for a certain omnibus for no particular reason, like the problem with most copies of The Stand omnibus where the glue comes undone because... (nobody knows)

There was a reprint in the UK last year, and I think with the events crossover this year there's a strong possibility of a new printing, in the same vein as Secret Wars. But I do find it odd how what might be Marvel's best event hasn't had a bigger push. Besides Civil War and Infinity, I haven't been too big on Marvel's events.

Let me just remind you all of how irritated I am that the Silver Surfer omnibus is out of print.
I said no more Marvel purchases until I could increase the size of some of my other collections, but now I'm stuck on this series. And because the omnibus is out of print (and I freaking REFUSE to pay some third party seller $200+ for a copy), I have to get it in MMW, which is FINE with me, except where I used to be able to readily find the second MMW volume of it in HC, now I can only find it in TPB. And what is up with the Silver Surfer Epic Collection containing everything but this run (Lee/Buscema)?? Grrrrr.

That sucks! I'd hate for you to be stuck with only a crappy TPB as a choice when there are better formats available. I bought both re-mastered MMW HCs a few year ago for like a combined $35. They're much more readable than the unwieldy omnibus with its glued binding. The Silver Surfer MMWs HCs have this great paper from pre-2009 that's at least twice as thick as the paper used today--the bookblock of volume 1 is like the same thickness as a 500-page Epic--and let's not forget the sewn-binding!
Do you know where I can find the second MMW for Silver surface in hardcover for a decent price?
