My last order was 6 days total including the weekend and I ordered later in the day when I ordered. Thats the best really I have ever gotten a package from the states. Looking at my orders it has been 6-10 days it seems including weekends. Regular mail was getting 40 days or so. A few times I was convinced they were lost, it was taking so long.
Ah, I loved the first GP WW omnibus, although I haven't read the second one yet
“We have a saying, my people. Don’t kill if you can wound, don’t wound if you can subdue, don’t subdue if you can pacify, and don’t raise your hand at all until you’ve first extended it.”
I am up to Annual 1 and than two more stories before I finish the book and can order volume 2
I'm trying so hard not to buy books because Cambridge is expensive to live and I'm trying to arrange a flat for moving to Glasgow. Success? Just about :P Only 5 graphic novels (small ones) and a handful of books...
“We have a saying, my people. Don’t kill if you can wound, don’t wound if you can subdue, don’t subdue if you can pacify, and don’t raise your hand at all until you’ve first extended it.”
Ordered V1 of the Geoff Johns Green Lantern Omnibus.
Seems I am more likely to break my “no comics post-1994” rule I once had in effect.
I just finished his run last month. Oh boy, you are in for such a treat! I always thought it would be overhyped like so many things, but it is genuinely wonderful. The third omnibus was not as good as the first two I would say, but still very good

Appreciate the encouraging words, Enigma. I know I read some of these digitally over the last decade, and they seemed pretty good. And GL has always been a favorite of mine, even since I was a little kid.
Its pretty good. I am a big Geoff Johns fan. The only negative (small negative) I can think of on the first omnibus is that its creator centric so I found some parts, I didn't know what was going on. It didn't necessarily flow from issue to issue (I think the Green Lantern Corps issues possibly). It also has a glossy cover and not the black board (which I do not find durable on the larger JSA size books).
I took advantage of the recent indigo but 1 get 50% off sale to pick up a lot of stuff I had been meaning to pick up at some point. First few Mark Gruenwald Captain America epics, Denny O'Neill Iron Man Epics, Miracleman Book 2/3 (really like first volume but found it expensive for build/size of book) etc. I did pre-order a few omnis for September/October.
I think Miracleman was expensive due to all the financial/legal issues of buying the rights for that series, along with the fact that even though Alan Moore & Neil Gaiman were both writers on that book, the title isn't well-known enough for them to get huge sales. I never looked into the numbers on that series, but I always assumed it didn't sell well.
I'm still waiting patiently for Gaiman to finish the newer part of the series. I believe Mark Buckingham was going to be the penciler again, which was supposedly the reason he left Fables and Bill Willingham stopped writing Fables (A large part of the reason, anyway).
I'm also hoping Miracleman eventually gets released in omnibus form with both Moore's & Gaiman's parts of the book in one. Their respective runs are too short for them to make it a 2-parter, unless Gaiman's newer part of the series turns out to be real long.
