I might just go for the single saga volumes. They seem cheap enough.

I actually knew that and partially because of that I was looking forward to it.

To be fair I've just read Scott Pilgrim again and just wanted something slice of life so went for Local but it had the massive disadvantage of not being Scott Pilgrim (and by the gods do I love SP!)
Reading Sex criminals now ,that's a much better substitute.

I was hoping an omnibus would come along soon but if DC are doing absolutes firsts, it could be a while until they do an omnibus. I'll probably to pick up the TPBs. Originally Posted by DebkoX

It'll be a cold day in hell before I spend that much money on such limited content. The TPBs collectively contain more and are much cheaper. Originally Posted by JPAR

The Absolute is a premium hardcover. You're getting the material in an oversized larger format than an Omnibus and also it comes in a Slipcase. I'm not a collector of Absolutes as I prefer Omnibuses and Deluxe OHCs BUT I do have 8 Absolutes as I believe certain stories such as All-Star Superman, DC: The New Frontier and Batman: The Long Halloween deserve the Absolute treatment. They're quite stunning to look at. Originally Posted by DebkoX

I don't think that I've read any Scott Pilgrim, but I keep hearing how good it is...

Exactly. I am planning on upgrading ST from trades to Absolute when I have the chance. Originally Posted by Raffi Ol D'Arcy

Duuuuuude...you should totally read it! Originally Posted by Enigma

The whole story is 6 volumes altogether and I'm pretty sure you would enjoy it a lot!

Hmm. I see the reasoning, but I am only interested in the story. I can get the entire Moore run for £55-£60 as opposed to spending 99 dollars roughly 75 pounds on much less of the 'story'. Unless I am reading wrong, the OHC does not have the entire story. Originally Posted by Raffi Ol D'Arcy

Some stories are worth the absolute treatment. For me its the difference maybe between watching a movie on a 20 inch tv or a 60in tv. its the same movie but presented differently. For stuff you just want to check out, going absolute may not be the best investment especially if you are on a budget. For that trades are great (or digital especially if you dont think you will re read something).

Sadly I do have a budget and I'm trying to be clever in how I buy books. I managed to snap 4 out of 6 TPBs of Swamp Thing used for £35. Originally Posted by RamblingMan

Nothing wrong with that! Thats being smart with money. I wanted an omnibus of moores swamp thing. Absolutes for that is a 3-4 book investment. Thats a lot of money. I toyed with idea of the dc golden age material. I decided I didnt want the added cost. I may read that digitally at some point. Originally Posted by DebkoX

I did the same exact thing about 7 years ago when I was a student. But now that I have a descent amount of money I want the upgrade. Originally Posted by DebkoX
