I can't get hold of Heart of Darkness either but I'm wondering what it's like compared to A Touch of Typhoid?

In what way do you mean? If you mean the type of stories, they are both Ann Nocenti which means some interesting stuff ranging from liberal to religious themes and dialogues. Some gritty streetwise action to bizarre Ultron and Mephisto strangeness. The art has John Romita Jr at his best thanks to Al Williamson's inking. Some rate Nocenti highly, whereas others dislike her Daredevil work. Definitely interesting stuff with a couple of high points but overall I'm not a fan. The Heart of Darkness Epic also has the Lifeform crossover which includes the Hulk, Punisher and Silver Surfer annuals, and actually isn't bad at all.

Interesting to note that the 2nd printing of the Annihilation Omnibus surpassed the number of units sold by the 1st printing in its initial month of release. This may repeat itself with the the 2nd printing of the Daredevil Bendis Vol. 1 Omnibus in January 2020.
In light of recent statements by Dido at DC we see Fantastic Four MMW vol. 21 selling 1,100+ units in the first month. We all know hundreds more will eventually move is not more. Never mind Amazing Spider-man Omni vol.4 numbers!
Meanwhile Dido is saying "high volume numbers hinder sells".

That is a massive number for House of X. 10k. Wow. Don't see that too often.
Hey all I have a quick question, what would be the best way to collect Ultimate Spider-Man? I am getting the Miles omni reprint but the Peter Parker stuff is so annoying to collect. Half of the trades and ohcs are oop as well as the omni which never received a volume 2..
None of you seem to understand, I'm not locked in here with you, you're locked in here with me..
I miss being a kid
Seeing a comic book on
The rack and after flipping
Through it deciding I want
To buy it
Never considering and worrying
About not having read the issues
Before it or if there would be another
Issue in the future ....... just wanting
To read that particular book
Because I found it peaked my interest.
Yeah that guy at DC was trying to justify the unjustifiable. Of course DC doesn’t sell many high number volume collections... they don’t print them! Apparently 2 is a high number because Animal Man deluxe number 2 has been AWOL for almost a year and a half.
And if they do print them then maybe they don’t sell well because of the videos people post of their copies literally falling apart like 10,000 year old ancient scrolls on the first read through!
Or because the pages are glued together worse than the pages of some 6th grade kids first porno mag.

It's a toughie but you don't want to regret not buying them when they steadily start going OOP. The remainder seem to be all in stock on IST and CGN but some of them are already out of stock on amazon.com and amazon.co.uk such as Vol 3 and Brother take my Hand, Vol. 18 Fall From Grace.
Btw, Daredevil Waid Ombibus Vol. 2 is out of stock on both amazons and Vol. 1 on amazon.com.
