oh they definitely did. For years the NM omnibus is in the top 5 in the most wanted polls and I expect the Epic collection will sell like hotcakes. Also basically literally EVERY OTHER X title got the ohc treatment at this point, X-tinction agenda, Bishop's crossing, X-force omnibus etc etc. but no New Mutants even though it came out in the heyday of Claremont's UXM, by Claremont and it is a fan favourite.
My credit card has been charged now by Bud's Art Books for the Bill Sienkiewicz New Mutants Artist Select. Just wow - it seems like I'll get a copy without preorders. Fingers crossed!
Does anyone know how to check if diamond is completely out of a book or not? Or if it's even possible without being a comic shop...
I have a pending transaction on my CC as of today for this same book, and when I log into IST and check my account it already shows as "picked and scanned" with a tracking # pending. Sure am glad I pre-ordered when I did. I waffled a couple months, back and forth, on whether or not to buy it and finally pre-ordered early Aug from TOW before they stopped taking new orders for it.
Bill S's artwork always was too strange for me as a kid but I am super excited to be able to read it all in one volume as an adult now that I can appreciate it for what it really is.
PS ... I have the Sal Buscema and Herb Trimpe Hulk editions and I really love this format. Everything from the size of the books, to the cloth covers, the slipcase, art reproduction and extras, everything.
They get a LOT of weirdo troll accounts so they are probably very thorough. Great group though.
As for the artist select, I got mine yesterday. It's gorgeous. There's only a small gap between the upcoming New Mutants epic and the Artist Select so that will be good reading.
The Wicked + The Divine. TMNT. Uncanny Avengers. Midnighter. IXth Generation. Daredevil. Morning Glories. Street Fighter. Fables. Uncanny X-Men. Bloodshot. Invincible. Ninjak. Mockingbird.
Well now it looks like they've blocked me since I can no longer find the group. What the heck? That's really annoying and frustrating.
On a less crappy note, I'm a few days away from my Shang Chi and my Werewolf omnis arriving (assuming I can time the USPS signature confirmation correctly and don't miss the delivery)
I know some folks were talking about IST and CGN running out of the non-Ross cover of Dr Strange omnibus. My LCS has both as of yesterday. Not sure if he will give a discount but he's very reliable and will ship through out the US. Some posters here have done business with him. Let me know if you're interested and I can provide contact info
His complete run on NM (#18-31) plus a story from X-Men Unlimited #43, an exclusive interview (5 pages), an introduction by Claremont, four colour key transparencies. The more expensive editions contain new original art, while the regular edition is 'just' signed. 380 pages all in all.
