Just Garth Ennis Punisher and Darth Vader omnibus
Not overly crazy about Punisher or Darth Vader
but I read both in floppies and absolutely loved every issue.
Too me, omnibus is not about getting a lot of material for my buck of favorite character
but getting the runs of characters I love (and don't) that I loved reading once and want to
now and in the future on better and bigger material.
See that's funny because I'm trending towards a similar realization. I'm originally from France so I grew up on French and Belgian comics and only started reading DC (and later Marvel) when I moved to the US 12 years ago.
I've realized that on the whole I don't care to re-read a lot of the stuff I read in comics, or more accurately it's much harder to re-read.
Bandes Dessinees are usually easy to read again because they're usually a self contained story of about 40-50 pages and done. So you remember the stories you like and can just pick them up again anytime. It's all evergreen one-shots in a sense.
I also read manga and those are serialized like comics but there's always a singular plot, a single author and it's usually no more than 20-30 volumes so it's much more cohesive than comics and it doesn't just keep running for 80+ years.
For comics it's much harder. For example I've read Spiderman and Xmen and while I enjoyed the Silver Age I probably will never be bothered to read it again and the stories I like are hard to pinpoint in a sea of issues.
So yeah I'm starting to think I should just get rid of a bunch of omnis...
... as I go to order Ennis' Punisher.
Thanks! I have a bunch of reading order websites bookmarked but I didn't have this one.

I wonder if sales are strong for Planet Hulk and WWH if we will see omnibuses of the rest of Greg Pak's run? It's almost all collected in OHC already right?
I really commend Marvel for the absolutely awesome Punisher: Back to the War Omnibus
What a genius idea to include all the early formative Punisher stories up thru 1986 into one omnibus.
A must own for any Punisher fan.

Grant Morrison: “Adults...struggle desperately with fiction, demanding constantly that it conform to the rules of everyday life. Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can possibly fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real.”

Some artists look better in black and white. I would recommend reading Tomb of Dracula essentials with the Gene Colan art. His use of shadow and darkness work well in B&W.
For me, color doesn't became a factor until the changes in the 90s. Before that, I felt the colors were often flat and simple.

So, about the Loki omnbius, was there any reason that the Mighty Thor issue 22 was left out, being the finale of Everything Burns arc and that it was also in the JiM complete colleciton?
