So is there anywhere a Canadian can take advantage of some of these Marvel Omni markdowns that doesn't involve paying shipping fees that pretty much offset the savings? I actually need to get that ROTWS Omni...
Anyone knowledgeable about the Werewolf by Night Omni. I would consider getting it at the clearance price if it is self contained. If it is a Volume 1 that will be orphaned, due to this obvious lack of sales, I already have enough of those from Marvel on my shelf.

This is one of my Top 3 books, to date, for 2017 that I'm looking forward to from Marvel.
Would love it if they completed the run but since New Avengers still needs a vol. 2 and New Warriors doesn't have a follow up solicited I'll probably just have to be content with the one volume sadly.

The WBN Omnibus is excellent - it's a done-in-one, i.e. it reprints the entire original WBN Marvel series. It's one of my favorite Omnis, with art by the great Mike Ploog & others. Here's a link with more info:

Thoughts on Bendis' All-New X-Men/Uncanny X-Men? Bendis has been very hit and miss for me but I like the general concept of both books.
Also, does anyone have a reading order for the OHCs? If I do grab them, I'd prefer not to hop between HCs but just which volume goes first.
First, I should point out that I'm a big fan of Bendis. He's much more hit than miss with me, so take that into consideration when I'm giving my opinion. Although I've alway said his solo titles are much better than his team based books, I really liked this run for the most part. Enough to have read it twice now. For me, All New X-Men started off the stronger of the two, but after Battle Of The Atom it kind of lost it's way. One crossover with the Guardians Of The Galaxy was fine. I get it, Bendis writes both book so why not. And X-Men has always had cosmic connections anyway. But then they became a bit too connected with a character romance, and it culminated with the Black Vortex crossover, which is the low point of the run. My biggest issue with All New X-Men was that it seemed set up to tell a story with an ending, but then Bendis decided to leave the book unfinished so the time-displaced original students are still hanging around the Marvel U.
I liked Uncanny more the second time I read it, and I think that one got stronger as it went on. Personally, I loved the storyline that begins with Original Sin. And the two parter in the annuals was also really well done.
All New X-Men goes first. I think they were about 5 issues in before Uncanny started. Unfortunately there will be hopping between the two books. But you can get away with doing one complete story, then juming to the other for the next complete story. It's not as bad as Hickman's Avengers/New Avengers. There's no issue by issue bouncing around.
