All New Marvel Collected Editions

[FlashingSabre]

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.

Well, to be fair, it may be the only Post-Claremont X-Men run worth reading. Most of the last 15 years has been trash.

I couldn't disagree more - I find Claremont to be creepily bondage obsessed, amateurish, and juvenile, and Morrison's New X-Men, Ellis' brief X-Man and Milligan's X-Force/X-Statix to be the only worthwhile X-Comics.

superhero comics being juvenile? no way!

(mostly agreeing with you, though)

Wow. What writers do you like then?

Claremont was an idea man and had some good ideas but for the most part his writer deteriorated around issue 201 or so.
I agree, there's been a lot of great X-Men since. Morrison, Ellis, Milligan, Whedon, Brubaker and some - dare I say it - Bendis wasn't so bad.

Some here might crucify you for this. Even though you're on point.

He coasted on the his first 100 issues of uncanny, but what a job he did on those! Dark Phoenix and Days of Future Past alone!

My biggest come up last year was def the UXF Omnibus.

Sigh, thank you for the quality control Marvel.

Of course OCD not liking this one bit and exchanging.

You know as well as I do that quality control at Marvel's printer is "half-assed"! ;-)

[krisis]

Is there a difference in build/quality between complete collections and epic collections?

Ever-so-slightly. Epics are bigger and the paper is slightly more matte (i.e., not as glossy).

Sorry, I have no clue how to search for anything in these forums. A while back, did Krisis post a Road to Secret Wars reading list with graphic novels from the Ultimate Universe? Or was I dreaming this? Don't ask why I have reoccurring dreams of Krisis.

LOL. That doesn't sound like me, because I don't follow Ultimate at all. I've been pretty quiet on the comic guide front since I launched the last few pages.

I will say I haven't read much if the Gillen stuff, and I usually like him. Brubaker and Fraction were doing the worst work I've seen from them in the book. I've never liked Seagle or Casey, Davis is a much better artist than writer, and I absolutely despize Brian Michael Bendis from his X-Men, Avengers, and Guardians work. I won't even mention Austen. I am a huge Morrison fan, but I'm hesitant to read his run since from the sound of it he had no idea how to write Magento. Plus, he killed Jean, who I really like as a charcter. Every other X-Book I liked (Remender's X-Force, PAD's X-Factor, Carey's Legacy, New X-Men,..) I consider separate from official X-Men team books.

Oh, and I didn't find find Aaron's WatXM good enough to read past issue 10. And I HATED Schism, Decimation, Utopia, and Avengers vs X-Men. And Hope Summers might be my most hated fictional character ever. I despise her.

And I'm a very recent reader, so its not like I'm biased against the changes or anything. I just find the stories and ideas to be terrible. The only recent X-characters I liked are Dr. Nemesis and Zero. And they ruined Zero immediately.

Oh, and Lemire, a writer I usually love, is now writing the main X-Book, which I was really hyped up for. As of issue four, it is almost unreadably bad.

The X-Men are my favorite characters. I can't really tolerate subpar writing on their books.

Checking instocktrades and looks like both Infinity Gauntlet Omnibus and FF Hickman Vol 2 omnibus are not available. Wonder if they are just waiting for new stock from the warehouse clearance.

This is a bit nitpicky but does anyone know if there is a non "movie cover" version of this GOTG OHC book "Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 1 HC Book Market Movie Cover?"

Yep like Canucked said, there's a DM variant with Rocket on it drawn by McNiven. I think you can get it for around $35 or so on eBay in new shape if you can't find it anywhere else cheaper.
