Thanks guys
Totally agree. I'll never understand and I'll never buy Omnibus releases with 1200, 1300 or 1500 pages. They may look great on your shelf, but they are a pain to handle and to read and due to DC's crappy binding they'll simply fall apart sooner or later - which is totally inadequate for a $100+ item.
Why not simply split such releases into two or three separate HC's with at most 500 pages each, housed in a nice slipcase? Production costs should be nearly identical, but you'll get a much better product this way!
Can anyone do me a favor and look at their Clone Saga Omnibus Volume 2 books binding? I just finished reading Volume 1 and wanted to jump into Volume 2 now but i noticed that unlike Volume 1, Volume 2 doesn't stay open completely flat and closes shut for the first 50 pages and it doesn't create a eyehole at the spine. I know this is still sewn binding since i can see the sewing but somehow this one acts like it's glued binding so now i would like to know if that's just because i got a faulty copy or if they are all like that.

Is IST or ToW going to get that Akira set? Hate to use Amazon if I don't have to. I've put off getting those books for too many years - either getting the anniversary set or the separate trades soon.
I just read Green Lantern Earth One. They don't need to look to far if they want to make a series or movie about G.L. Easily my favorite GL story in ages.
On the other hand, after the last attempt, I'm happy for everybody to leave GL well alone. I like GL :P

I had a problem with my McFarlane Amazing Spider-Man Omnibus.
At the end of the book there is a cover gallery by McFarlane that are printed on black pages.
a few of the pages were not completely trimmed at the top and I had to use a knife to
split them apart. I also found the regular white pages to be constantly clinging as I flipped pages.
Marvel is really having some small and big problems with the people they are contracting to make
these trades and omnibuses. I would hope they take this serious and move quickly to fix it
before they lose too many customers because of trust issues.
Is there a version of Stardust that's fully illustrated by Charles Vess, or only the prose version with spot illustrations?
The Colossal Conan Omni by Dark Horse is delayed?
I see it on Diamond's page of releases for the week but not on IST.

Oh for f**** sake! I had waited for the latest sales update from Cheap-comics.com a few weeks ago to see if they got the Johns GL Omnis in there. They didn‘t, so I bought them from other retailers for around 70€ each. And of course what happens today? CC.com just added a few more books to their current sales, among which are all three omnis for 60€ each.
