    Exactly - just got the omnibus. Looking forward to reading that.

    I have already Sandman.Vol.5 and Vol.6 to read in my next readings.

    Kill or be killed, about 20 pages in and about the same amount of eye rolling

    The first Sandman story I read was Season of Mists and what can I say, it's beautiful. I read it for the third time last year and it was just as perfect as both previous reads

    This is pre-emptive and not technically all collected editions, but nonetheless. After a **** week so far, I am going to get up on Saturday morning, make a green tea, remain firmly in my pyjamas and get snug on my couch. I will then read all of Negation, Byrne's WW run and maybe the Jimenez omnibus, depending how I get on for time. It should be a lovely weekend

    Finished Carthago Adventures, which was great. Not sure yet what to read next.

    Normally I switch between publishers and between older and newer material. But as I want to focus on some read-a-thons (Claremont X-Men, Hellboy universe, Valiant universe), maybe I will try rotating books/series, i.e. an X-Men book, followed by a stand-alone book, followed by a Valiant book etc.

    Let's see if that is feasible.

    Sounds like a great plan!

    I watched a video review of the Prometheus/Aliens/AvP Fire & Stone and Life & Death Library editions on the Gem Mint YouTube channel and decided to pull them off the shelf.

    Therefore contrary to my plans described above, I am now halfway through Fire & Stone. It's great fun.

    I am still collecting all of the Sandman in collected editions.Currently i have until Vol.6 of Sandman.
    Season of Mists was so far one of the best story arcs in Sandman,but i have still some volumes to read that i had never read so far.

    Finished Doomsday clock and just ...wow
    Possibly one of the worst comics I've read in a long time. It's like an edgy 17 year old who failed English class trying to prove that they are the bees knees by writing Watchmen fanfic.
    So many stupid things happen in this book, it was at least moderately entertaining for that reason, but the tons of unnecessary narration killed the momentum after a while.
    Also, Garry Frank, while a competent artist, he was just the worst choice for this book (maybe it's on his inker).

    Anyone who wants a decent Watchmen sequel should just watch the HBO series IMHO.

    I didn't like Doomsday Clock either, though I liked Gary Frank in it. I was utterly bored by the story and I really disliked that it felt as another correction of the timeline more than a story on its own. What ruined it most for me was Geoff Johns writing like he was Alan Moore. I like Johns, but he may be the most mainstream writer I know, while Watchmen, even if it's own by DC, is a story that went against a lot of the things that Johns did in Doomsday Clock
