As long as you have them together on a shelf, reasonably tight together so the books can't open, and with books of the same height they will be fine. I've pulled my Omnibuses off th shelf every now and again to check on them and once they're fine and not damaged. Some of the bigger ones have a little bit of sag, but having them together on a shelf stops it being an issue.
Now I've got the proto Omnibus, Barnes and Noble Ultimate Spiderman form 2004, that I got cheap as it was beat up and I've stored that in various ways, and it's still fine. When I got it, it had a massive amount of sag on the block. But it sits in there fine, all the signatures are good and you can read it no problems. Nothings falling out, it can't sag any further so it's not getting any worse. I check it as well, because when I got it I thought it was rooted, and it is I suppose. But it's still able to be read and hasn't fallen apart over the last 5 years and a couple of reads.
I wouldn't get so concerned about these books, sitting on the shelves correctly they will last for a long time.
