That's a good point. I'm going to have to be on my toes.
I hope things work out for you and your family member.
I haven't seen an image yet. It may be delayed similar to the Conan Omnibus Vol. 1 Cassaday regular cover which appeared in a later solicitation.
A few questions for everyone:
I'm thinking about dipping my toes into the Clone Saga and Ben Reilly saga - worth it? yes, no, give me reasons? I realize it's convoluted and way too drawn out, but is it any good?
1) Are the two Clone Saga omnibuses - is that it, or is there a 3rd expected? (I really am unfamiliar with this era of Spidey).
2) The Ben Reilly omnibus that's coming out in early JAN, that directly follows Clone Saga omnibus 2, is that right?
3) How many Ben Reilly omnibuses would we expect? 2?
thanks again!

I have these on the "Complete Epic" TPBs that were released some time ago.
The stories have their high points, but as iPodwithnomusic said, the filler material is too much. Also, in my opinion the art is a big selling point for oversized books, and in this case most of it is pretty bad, at least to my taste (with few exceptions, like Sienkewicz inking Buscema, or some JRJR). I'd skip the 4 omnis unless you find them for super-cheap prices.
1. Two Clone Saga omnis indeed. Haven't had the chance to check the binding at my LCS, but they are big, big books
2. That is correct. Just like the first "Complete Ben Reilly Epic" immediately followed the last "Complete Clone Saga Epic"
3. There's a previously uncollected gap after what I assume to be the contents of the second Ben Reilly omni, but it's not related to the Ben Reilly story. So I'm thinking two omnis total.

I just got Mcfarlanes Amazing Spider-Man Omnibus and The Tomb of Dracula . I had read someone had issues with the ASM omnibus with pages stuck together at back. Mine does not have this issue. The TOD omnibus does though. I will have to split the pages with a sharp knife. It affects the last part of the last issue and the extras.

What's the likelihood of JMS's Thor Omnibus being reprinted?
Am I right in thinking that none of Soule's Daredevil has been collected in hardcover yet?

Question:
Just what exactly is X-Men Grand Design? Is it a comedy or satire of the X-Men concept?
Worth buying?
Think of it like a graphic version of cliff notes. It takes all the X-Men cannon and streamlines and compresses it to make it comprehensible and digestible especially for people who haven't been following for 20+ years. I have not read it myself but the reviews I have seen have pretty much been glowing. If it makes it to a comprehensive collected edition I will pick it up.
I brew the beer you drink. What's your super power?
