Sigh, thank you for the quality control Marvel.
Of course OCD not liking this one bit and exchanging.

So how did everyone do in 2015 on the Omnibus front? My Marvel Omnibus collection increased by 13 to 57, whereas my DC Omnibusses now total 16. This is what I picked up:
Marvel
Annihilation: Conquest
Avengers (Silver Age) Vol. 2
Avengers by Kurt Busiek & George Perez Vol. 1
Uncanny Avengers
Captain America: The Trial of Captain America
Captain America: Return of the Winter Soldier
Daredevil by Ed Brubaker Vol. 1
Fantastic Four by Jonathan Hickman Vol. 2
SHIELD The Complete Collection Omnibus
Silver Surfer Vol. 1
Wolverine by Mark Millar
The Muppets Omnibus
Star Wars The Original Marvel Years Volumes 1-2
DC
Batman: The Golden Age Vol. 1
Green Lantern by Geoff Johns Volumes 1-2
Hawkman by Geoff Johns
JSA Volumes 2-3
DC Comics: The New 52 Zero
Also one more question
What would you say was your best "find" or "finds" of 2015? Mine were probably the following:
Daredevil by Ed Brubaker Omnibus Vol. 1
Silver Surfer Omnibus Vol. 1
Hulk: Planet Hulk OHC
Invincible Iron Man by Matt Fraction OHC Vol. 1
Ultimate Spider-Man OHC Vol. 8
and
75 Years of DC Comics: The Art of Modern Mythmaking (Taschen)
If we're talking Marvel, mine would be:
Defenders Masterworks V4 (the Elf with a Gun!)
Frank Miller's Daredevil Artifact Edition
Captain America Truth: Red, White & Black HC
Atlas Era Heroes Masterworks V3
Anything Jack Kirby (total cop-out, but I bought a ton last year)
Non-Marvel, my favorite find was a complete set of the Flying Buttress Wash Tubbs & Captain Easy volumes. This is one of those rare newspaper strips that seemed fully formed right out the gate but only got better as it went along, so it's a shame Fantagraphics chose to reprint it in best-of compilations following their wonderful Sundays collections.
Marvel:
Alias
Avengers Crossing
Avengers Busiek and Perez 1-2
Werewolf by Night
Iron Man by Busiek and Chen
Powers
X-Men/Avengers Onslaught
Infinity Gauntlet
Avengers West Coast 1-2
Uncanny Avengers
Wolverine by Millar
FF by Byrne 2
Age of Apocalypse Companion
FF Vol 3
DC:
Absolute Batman Hush
Absolute Batman Long Halloween
Absolute Batman Dark Victory
Absolute Y The Last Man 1
I think I did ok overall. I have no idea how many I have. I suppose I can count them someday.

My best find would have to be Fantastic Four vol 1 by hickman. Not only do I absolutely love the run, but have seen the book go for 250$ which is almost triple what I payed. I got one of the last copies out of 10 or so amazon had and it came in perfect condition which Is a surprise comming from amazon. Happy I got it when I did.

Avengers by Busiek Vol.1
Avengers by Busiek Vol.2
SHIELD Omnibus

Iron Man Vol.1 Stan Lee
I think my favourite finds would have to be Iron Man by Stan Lee and X-Men by Stan Lee. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time. Another collector was unloading his spare omnis at a LCS of mine. I got them for $200 Canadian each and they are sealed too!
I had a pretty good year with Omni's, my issue is I have this thing I do where I "save" some of the most critically acclaimed runs for later. Almost like I'm trying to save the best for last or something, and now my backlog is ridiculous because I can't bring myself to read Astonishing xmen omni I bought 5 years ago for fear I might read something after that doesn't live up to it. I honestly cant tell what I bought this year unless it was a 2015 release, they all just blend into my backlog.
