    Sweet, I'll have a hunt here.

    I finally broke down and got the Crime Noir omnibus by Bendis.

    I always figured this would hit the bargain bin but so far it really hasn't. CGN had it at $50, which is more than half off. Ebay sellers are drunk off their assess and asking for more than $100. Amazon has it in the high $50 and IST in the low $60.

    I'm surprised that CGN was the winner. But, to justify paying the shipping I went ahead and also ordered a $30 Howard the Duck omnibus. Hey, you can't beat that.

    Also, before folks start slamming Bendis, the Crime Noir is really good stuff. I read it (sought out the floppies and trades) back in the early 2000s when he was brought onto Ultimate Spidey. I'm not saying it's up there with Brubaker and Rucka, but if you like their crime stuff, then this is a good recommendation.

    Bendis is really a tale of two writers for me. I think his Ultimate stuff was fantastic , I liked his Daredevil, and his real early Avengers stuff. But then he just got annoying. I really started hating his writing about the time he killed Ultimate Spider-man and his mainstream stuff was just so repetitive and cutesy characters. I at first loved Jessica Jones but in the Avengers she was so distracting. Just really burned out on me. I couldn't even read his Xmen and Guardians stuff. And I know I'm in the minority here, but I hate Miles Morales--not so much in the story or character beats, its still probably Bendis best current writing---I just hate when a modern writer patches an update on a pre existing (and still ongoing) character--make your own damn character! I dunno---this is all my opinion. Maybe a new start at DC would be helpful, but I'm not really dying for a Bendis Batman...maybe Superman

    I like most of his stuff but not his X-Men and his guardians was readable but very weak. He really was kicking some ass on Iron Man, particularly his take on Dr. Doom. Oh, and Defenders was good, too! I am pretty excited about him going to DC and getting the chance to play in the toy box.

    I almost bit on the Bendis omni as well. If I'd not have spent so much the last couple months probably would've. But with CGNs shipping it wasn't bargain enough for me. Torso (included in the Crime Noir) is an excellent work of historical fiction if no one's read it.

    I agree with much of what you've written bar Jessica Jones, as I've hardly read any of her. His Daredevil was very good BUT I'm not a fan of superhero identities being out in the open and it was Bendis who got the ball rolling on DD's secret identity reveal. Waid sometimes gets flak for his identity being fully revealed but it was pretty much already out there. The "damage" had been done in Bendis' run.

    I read that Bendis when asked several years ago who he would like to write at DC said Zatanna.

    Please don't let him touch Superman.

    My guess would be he's gonna start with The Flash or Green Lantern, which I'm not sure I would be happy with, because Flash is one of my all-time favorites. Like most of you I'd liked the first years he did at Marvel, Daredevil, Jessica Jones, etc. The second half of his Avengers run I was not really thrilled about. I'd have to start at the Marvel Now era, but from what I read it's pretty bad

    It's good to see the Shang-Chi volume 4 get such high sales. Are there other volume 4s we could compare saleswise?

    And Thor by Simonson has great numbers for a reprint.

    Not at this point unless you wanted to count the Brubaker Cap. America stuff but that wasn't numbered.

    And even then, The Trial of Captain America Omnibus (unofficially Cap by Brubaker Vol. 4) didn't manage to achieve 1000 units in its premiere month.

    If I could have gotten them all (reasonably priced) I would have gotten them all. Because I couldn't, I got none. That is the trouble with the multi-vol releases.

    I picked up Trial and Return of the Winter Soldier in the latest omnibus clearance sale.

    Of course, that's not really a good strategy if the omnibus sell out and is only available at high eBay prices.

    Uncanny X-Force omnibus - Why would Marvel not reprint this immediately? Has an omnibus ever sold out quicker?

    The lack of reasoning is more frustrating than the lack of book itself.

    Grah!
