I sadly have not been able to keep up with it, but does anybody know if Valiant is still doing Deluxe editions of their stuff?
^^^^^
They are but like their monthly title production it has slowed.
The last Bloodshot series got the Deluxe treatment back in Feb/March.
Not sure what the next one may be as I believe that is when we coincide with Covid and their titles only started running 8/9 issues.
I'm curious to see how they collect things going forward. Could still be classified Deluxe but with 4-6 issues fewer than prior Deluxes I expect a price drop. Will we get that???? Marvels pricing structure doesn't care so why should Valiant.

When I see the price tags of some Omnibi at eBay or Amazon I wonder if someone actually buys them to these prices?
I am still looking vor the first Conan Omnibus with the vintage cover, but the price is ridiculous.
What is your limit for buying the more expensive stuff?
Sticker price. Not a penny more.

I also wouldn't go over the RRP. I believe I only did this once several years ago with the Silver Surfer (SA) Vol. 1 Omnibus when it was OOP. The first printing was retailed at $75 and I went over maybe $15-20. The current printing is retailed at $100 whereas the first printing has the faux leather cover and thick paper. The only downside is it's quite tight as it's glued. I don't mind this once due to the remaining quality characteristics. It's one of my favourite Omnibuses.
Ok back to Conan Omnibis or collected editions...
My question: Marvel looses the right for publishing Conan. They won't reprint the Omnibis, what means that they will stop publishing the Epic collections, too? My guess is, yes.
Alright, the original Marvel years are too expensive right now, at least the first one or two. Epic line for Conan is dead maybe, at least it won't go till the end of the original run.
Dark Horse collections on the original material is complete, but the coloring is ugly as hell, so no alternative for me.
So...how to collect Conan? Any idea my fellows?
Okay, I take that as a no ;-)
My question is obsolete now, that I purchased volume 1 and 2 of the original marvel years omnibus for an affordable price.
Quite happy right now, and I think the best way to collect the old Conan storys.
I see Omar of NMC put out a video on the upcoming Cyberforce volume 1 hardcover, turns out it is not oversized. Which is a shame, I was really interested in it before finding that out.
This is a big announcement.
Marvel To Remaster The Original Marvel Masterworks Volumes Next Year
No more garish, too saturated colors.At the Diamond Retailer lunch yesterday at San Diego Comic-Con Marvel Comics showed off new prints of the early Marvel Masterworks volumes, going back to the original files and artwork, in the light of what people like Scott Dunbier at IDW brought to the act of archiving and repringting classic comic books, as well as the critique of colourists such as Jose Villarubia, to remaster the line. Spring 2023 will see the original Marvel Masterworks volumes having theri artwork restored furtherm rather than the relatively crude procedures used at the time.

Does anyone know if the original Judge Dredd series from the 80s has been reprinted? I am talking about the original 80s series that alternated art duties and featured Brian Bolland covers.
