DC Hardcover Collected Editions Part 3

[Vilynne]

You don't want my copy. I'm a madman who sometimes reads oversized books in the bath.
Of course, I always have a backup, further cementing my descent into lunacy.

Do you have a tray or something? You jut hold up a 10lb book in the bath? Your muscles must be insane.

Was imagining it, or wasn't Wonder Woman: Ares Rising supposed to be released today...?

CGN said next week up until today (I believe), when they changed it to the 16th.

Interesting. Yesterday (maybe Sunday?) IST had it on the list for this weeks releases, but when I looked a moment ago it was completely gone. Fingers crossed DC isn't pulling their typical shenanigans... *eyeroll*

Wow, so you buy omnis TWICE?

Very... ehem... impresssed!

I do.
It's madness, but I'm actually very selective, so I wouldn't be surprised if I have a smaller collection than many here, even with the double-dipping. There are so many books I'd love to own, but I just don't have the space and I'm a bit of a minimalist. I buy the few books I truly love, and make sure to have a backup copy of them.

I don't have a tray, but that'd be awesome if it were built right. I just sort of lean the book on my stomach and legs. It ends up being pretty bearable. It's definitely cumbersome, so I typically only do it with smaller books, but there's just something relaxing to me about drowning out the world with a bath and getting lost in a comic.

I don’t double dip omnis, but I’ll get softcover trades of stuff I love and constantly re-read even if I’ve got an omnibus. I’m currently picking up the GL and JSA by Geoff Johns trades, even though I’ve got the omnibus sets of each. Easier to read! I’ve got the same set-up for a few Vertigo series, too.

So wait... you're in the bathtub, reading an omni that's balanced on your stomach/legs? I'm having a hard time visualizing a scenario in which at least 1/3 of the book isn't submerged in water.

Is this bathtub empty...?

[Johnatellodi]

Well you can sort of lean up and rest your back on the wall. So you're cradling the book or sort of lifting your leg to help you support it.

Or yeah, you kind of dip down into a low level of water and let it chill on your chest.
I'm not saying it's ideal with an omnibus, but I have done it with The Invisibles omnibus while temporarily staying in a home with a huge bathtub. Good times.

Every fiber of my being says you don't bring books anywhere near liquid, so I'm utterly fascinated by this... lol

Some people just like to chill in the tub.

Dig the Magnificent Cover for DC’s WHO’s WHO OMNIBUS Vol. 1

^ ^ ^

That's gorgeous!

Perez' Aquaman is perfect, so I was hoping his image from #1 would make the cover somewhere, but maybe volume 2...

I *really* want to pick this up, but it would be a double (triple?) dip, as I already have the singles and the old trade from years ago. I'd have no problem buying this material again if I had any confidence in DC to complete Winick's run - which could be done in just 2 more trades after this!
