General omnibus & hardcover discussion vol. II

[Mr`Orange]

there is it's just didn't really reach the UK yet. Like the Byrne Avengers omni -_-

Did you finish SiP btw?

I bought the first collection and I'm I can't remember if I finished it, it was a long time ago and my tastes were less evolved back then.

For those interested, i just came across this quote from Oni press online from 2015 in regards to the sixth gun hc's:

@Seeleyone Direct from the folks at Oni:
"The Sixth Gun creators and folks at Oni Press are hard at work on the hardcover editions - The Sixth Gun series is still coming out monthly, with a projected end at issue #50 in early 2016. In total, there will be 6 hardcover collections, in both standard and limited edition Gunslinger varieties, and so far, Oni Press has released the first two hardcovers, with the third being released later this year in November. They're hoping to have all 6 hardcovers [covering all 50 issues of the series and mini-series, alongside a veritable treasure trove of extras] done and released by the end of 2017"

6 books?? Oh man... 3 more to go...

I'd say send him a tweet and you'll get a response quite fast; Moore is super active. I remember seeing a picture of both versions side by side, though no mention of price nor availability.

Mr. Moore says November. well, i've been waiting for so long, what's another three months? November is looking to end up one expensive month for me tho...

How do you guys usually go about getting the specific cover of an omnibus you're after? The new Dr Strange omnibus is coming soon and I'd much rather have the Ditko cover over the Alex Ross one, but I've ordered an omnibus from Amazon before and it seems you just get whatever cover they have.

The series evolves a lot as it goes on, I think worth giving it another shot.

With Marvel books the two covers are called the Direct Market (DM) and Mass Market(MM) covers, Amazon will always have the MM cover in order to get the DM cover you have to prefer it explicitly from either a specialist comic book website (forbidden planet, instocktrades etc) or from your local comic book store.

I think the Ditko cover is the DM cover but I can't find the original solicitation to double check. If you need more info hop into the Marvel thread the people in the would be happy to help.

RE: The Sixth Gun HCs. The first three volumes collected two trades' worth of material each. There are three trades of the regular series and three spin-off trades remaining. I think I'd rather they collect the rest of the series in one final HC and then the spin-offs in their own HC. Otherwise we will be getting three very padded HCs, with only one trade's worth of the ongoing series in each volume.

You just said yourself all the volumes would contain 2 trades worth of material. How does that make the last 3 padded? Personally, I'm glad all the related material is being included. Better to be all encompassing than orphan parts of the story from the hcs.

Is Hellboy Libray vol 5 going OOP?! Was just checking my Amazon wishlist and spotted prices. God dammit, it's been too long, have to buy it now. And it used to around 25 quid not that long ago.

It's going for higher prices for more than a year now. I had to buy mine from twaf using a coupon and add another book to worth the shipping cost and that was last may

(W) Jack Kirby (A/CA) Jack Kirby
Jack Kirby has been called the King of Comics, and rightfully so. For more than 40 years he was the most vital and groundbreaking artist in the medium. There have been dozens of books on Kirby over the years, including several oversized Artist's Editions showcasing his original art. This book will present Kirby's art in a new and unprecedented way, as side-by-side examples of his work, both in PENCIL and INK! Three Key first issues are showcased: The Demon #1, Kamandi #1 and Omac #1, along with a number of additional pieces presented. This is a perfect way to see Kirby art in its rawest form, from photocopies made from the original pencils as each page was completed, then next to it, the finished inks. We would almost call this a textbook of comic art except it's too much fun!

Being OOP for a period of time doesn't mean they won't do another run eventually. Also IST has Volumes 2 & 3 as unavailable on my wish list as well 5.

There was a time where fear agent 1 and Hellboy library 1 were 125 at the lowest, I would imagine dark horse will eventually reprint vol 5 but last time it took a few years to do so
