    ASM V2 is the one I like best out of the first three. As much as I appreciate Ditko, Romita was my preferred artist.

    And I agree about books in bed...most omnis are too big for that. If I’m in bed reading comics it’s usually a TPB or a digital comic on my iPad.

    Bed is the perfect place for omnibuses. If you're in a chair you have to have them in your lap, whereas in bed they can lay completely open beside you.

    Yeah, that works for me too. Although, I sometimes like to sit on an easy armchair with my feet on a pouffet. I become an easy target for our cats then also as they like to make themselves comfortable on my legs.

Next up after after ASM, it is time to crack open Captain America 2. I think I will go digital for some stuff in the future I only want to check out.
    If you don't mind another recommendation from me, this time for an older series, I highly enjoyed the bronze age Iron man series. The Michelinie stuff is great, there are some filler issues here and there but over all it's a really fun run but the O'neill stuff after that might be a tighter reading experience (and maybe a bit less wordy). Bit I really enjoyed both runs (haven't read all of the O'neill epics yet) and would recommend it to fans of older series.

    I am always open to recommendations! I see Epics 10/11 have a chunk of the O’Neill material. Maybe I should start with that than and then go into the Michelinie later stuff?

    That’s what works best for me. And I also own a cat.

    I'm glad the Infinite Crisis omni has the covers in the right places, but I wish they'd identify the issues somehow. Ideally I'd love it if they reprinted the covers exactly as was, but I can understand why some people would prefer to see the unblemished art. At least print the issue # on the next page with the story title and creator credits though.

    Agreed. I always prefer my covers reprinted at the front of the issue, as it originally appeared.

    The absolute worst was in the early 00's, when DC trades would reprint the covers not only in the back of the book, but as thumbnails with 4-5 tiny images per page!

    I wonder could someone help me with a query, I have been looking everywhere for the House of mystery omnibus and the DC showcase House of secrets volume 3 were these published and where can they be found, thanks.
