@ Balakin and QComix: stunning hauls. Still need to get Torpedo and Grell's GA. I only just ordered Smith's GA and Grell's might be next. I've been looking at Okko Integrale for a while now but I can't find it for a reasonable price over here.

Yeah the Okko Integrale is quite pricey but it's a really beautiful and high quality book. Great binding, thick pages and there's even a support for the page block at the bottom of the slipcase to avoid sagging. I highly recommend it! Originally Posted by LordJulius

thanks! I need to get Grell's GA as well but I have this weird thing where I rather buy stuff in bulks but I'm not sure if I'm ready to drop 80 quid on paperbacks in one go. Originally Posted by LordJulius

I don't think it sounds weird. It's supposed to be a kind of dark comedy. If everything is shied away from you wouldn't get things like the story with the man hiring Torpedo to kill his ex-girlfriend which turns the whole concept on it's head. Originally Posted by Balakin

I don't think those three descriptors need to be followed by a but like they are inherently negative in this context.
That said, I completely agree that Bernett is definitely the reason to keep buying them. Incredible art work. It was also the first thing I'd ever experienced of Toth too which made it well worth a tenner.

Only started collecting Omni's and HC's last month. Still have all my singles from the 80's & 90's but once I saw that most of those issues are collected in the oversized hardcovers, I was hooked. So far I've picked up:
Uncanny X-men Omnibus Vol 1-3
Uncanny X-men MMW Vol. 10 (honestly didn't know it was so small)
X-Men: Mutant Massacre HC
X-Men: Fall of the Mutants HC
X-Men: Inferno Prologue Omni
X-Men: X-tinction Agenda HC
X-Men by Claremont & Lee Omnibus Vol. 1-2
X-Men: X-cutioner's Song HC
X-Men: Fatal Attractions HC
X-Men: Age of Apocalypse Omnibus
X-Men: Age of Apocalypse Companion Omnibus
X-Men / Avengers Onslaught Omnibus
New X-men Omnibus by Grant Morrison
X-Force Omnibus
Deadpool Beginnings Omnibus
Deadpool by Joe Kelly Omnibus
Infinity Gauntlet Omnibus (Still hasn't shipped yet)
Annihilation Books 1-3 HC
Annihilation Conquest Omnibus
War of Kings Omnibus
War of Kings: Aftermath Omnibus
The Mighty Thor by Walt S. Omnibus
Spawn the Dark Ages Collection HC
Spawn Origins 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10
Eventually going to pick up the following books if I can find them for a decent price:
X-Men: Bishop's Crossing HC
X-Men: Phalanx Covenant HC
X-Men: Zero Tolerance HC
X-Men: Road to Onslaught Vol. 1-3 TPB's
And lord willing I WILL find the X-Men Inferno Omnibus (HC) that doesn't cost an arm and a leg! Once I get the X-men caught up, I'll switch over to one of the other "X" books or the Avengers. There's just so much to get caught up on!

Now's a good time to get into omnis, with all the recent reprints, clearances, and marvel seemingly not afraid to extend volumes any longer. I've been collecting for ~5 years, and I've doubled my omni collection just in the last year or so because of this. Originally Posted by Soulforger

Yeah, I've found a lot of great information about collecting them, what reading order to check out, etc. Even binding singles into hardcovers. I love comics, too bad my collection as dwindled over the years from moving, etc. Originally Posted by awayne83

Really depends on the specific line or era. Modern stuff (i.e. current series, complete collections, etc) are almost exclusively glossy. I don't own any Epic collections, but I think they are either a matte or newsprint-like quality, which i personally think works much better with the pre-digital coloring from those eras Originally Posted by Soulforger

That's quite a collection in a month or so and a few OOP books there. You must have come into a nice inheritance recently Originally Posted by Soulforger

I can't remember who asked me to let them know how it went, but... My £34 Transformers Volume 3 arrived today form The Book Depository (£8X in most places!), no problems at all!
