I‘ve got my pre-orders of the last three weeks from my LCS and after a few years off I’m starting to read Marvel again.
I‘ve got my pre-orders of the last three weeks from my LCS and after a few years off I’m starting to read Marvel again.
My accumulated haul from the last few months or so:
I wasn't going to get any more Slott Spider-Man stuff as I'm not a big fan of his latter stuff, although I quite enjoed Spider-Verse. The Clone Conspiracy OHC was really cheap from an amazon.co.uk marketplace seller so I went for it. The Mandela GN was free - certain libraries in Warsaw give books away that are seldom read. The Superman GA Vol. 5 Omnibus was at that really low pre-order price from amazon.co.uk. I only received it recently as my brother was visiting from the UK and I had it posted it to him.
Very nice indeed. At that price, it's a steal and a must for any Superman fan.
Edit: There's a couple of interesting articles and quite a few of the best known stories and also first appearances. I think it would have been cool for a few more articles by past creators and also a better cover gallery as it's lacking in that area but overall it's a very nice thickish book.

Cool Haul.
Do all the Marvel Omnibuses have the letters section included in them as the Avengers Omnibus 3 or the Daredevil Shadowland?
Because Amazing Spider-Man Omnibus having the letters section included was a cool feature in those Omnibuses so i am wondering if all the Marvel Omnibuses have the letters section in them.
@whiteshark: Thx. I‘ve already read Old Man Logan 1+2 yesterday and I want more. So good!
Great books, Lago and Raffi. I've been tempeted by that Doc savage book for a while now but am still looking for a good price. 80 Years of Superman looks also good but I'm not sure how much double-dipping that would mean as I'm sure I have some of the stories in miscellaneous archives and TPBs.
Thx!
Cheers!
DOC SAVAGE ARCHIVES - I ordered mine through flubit for around £26.50. It was going for around £28 or so on amazon.co.uk and flubit beat that price and sent me a copy (using Speedyhen).
ACTION COMICS: 80 YEARS OF SUPERMAN - I thought the same re: double-dipping but I went for it anyway as it's such a nice book. I don't have my copy with me but I copied the list of issues from the DC Wikia page:
