This is (hopefully) sorted by date, so you'll have to go back a number of pages to see the current stuff, but this is the best you'll get short of doing a similar search on Amazon

Got my Inferno omni today, fastest shipment I've received from IST in a year. This is one big book, too...looking forward to re-reading this after like 30 years (that hurt to type).
My X of Swords HC arrived today but man I'm sorely disappointed with the binding on it. Can't believe they used glue binding and it doesn't lay down till like halfway through. Kinda regret even opening it now.
Are you sure? I cannot recall the last time Marvel released an OHC with glued binding- also, if it was glued binding, I'm surprised it lays down flat in any place.
It may just be a bad/tight binding. I thought my Planetary Omnibus was glued, as it does not really lay flat, but when you get to the centre pages there is definitely sewn binding. Many DC Omnibus editions are just really sewn too tightly whereby they don't properly lay flat- could be maybe X of Swords is an example. Haven't got mine yet, but I will look out for that.

"Why the hell do you need an arrow that comes back to you after you shoot it, Clint?" - Kate
"Because... Boomerangs." - Clint.
All OHC that are produce in USA have glued binding. Practically all event/crossovers have glued binding but this is first book from a long time with 700+ pages.
Books like ongoing series for example Immortal Hulk vol. 1, 2 are produce in China and have sewn binding at least for now.
Theoretically if book in preorder will be on market in 6 month it will be produce in China or last time from Turkey, if it will be in 3 month it will be in USA/Canada for OHC it means poorer quality and more expensive.
Since it was sold out everywhere that offered a decent discount, I went ahead and got the Aphra omni from amazon at a measly 10% discount. At least it was free shipping - now we see if it'll get damaged due to their horrible packaging. Though lately, because amazon deliveries have been so quick/local, the boxes arrive clean and seemingly untouched, so even a poorly packaged book shouldn't get damaged.
Interesting- guess that they must treat 'classic' material differently, as all my X-men crossover OHCs are sewn I think.
Yeah that's kind of my thinking, that Marvel normally make sure books that size have sewn binding. Odd- and makes me think about cancelling. My order still hasn't been fulfilled by Amazon UK!
