To be honest, and I know that this is a wee bit cliche, but I didn't mind superhero films as much until I was into comics. Now, I find them difficult sometimes. Some of them I love though!

“We have a saying, my people. Don’t kill if you can wound, don’t wound if you can subdue, don’t subdue if you can pacify, and don’t raise your hand at all until you’ve first extended it.”
Hi all. I've asked this before but outside of the Kingpin Henchman and the Flowers for Rhino story, are there any standouts in the Tangled Web omni that makes it worth it? Cause those two are in the Best of Spider-Man OHCs.
And is not picking up last year's (or is it this year) McFarlane and the new Larsen omnis is a good decision?
Nothing wrong with the Larsen Omni as it's mostly written by David Michelinie, who's great. The McFarlane book looks great but the stories, tone and dialogue are completely misjudged.
Finally got around to picking up the trades of Fractions Iron Man run from where the second OHC left off, so Marvel can officially announce an omnibus of his run!
Kidding aside, I'm not sure if I should pick up Gillen's run now. I feel like it's perfect for an omnibus, but I guess since it hasn't happened yet it won't? Decisions, decisions
This...right here.
I never read Gillen's run although I heard it started off well and sort of fizzled. I'm not sure how I feel about the retcon that went on, either.
I also never read the Superior Iron Man....Any good?
I picked Iron Man back up in floppies with Bendis. It's probably blasphemy but I really enjoyed the first volumes and I'm especially digging the Infamous Iron Man.
Unbelievably torn on this coming weeks releases. I have all the Hickman OHCs but so tempted to get the omnibus due to likely reading order alignment plus the Infinity OHC is not the highest production quality. What are some people in the same situation leaning towards? The Dr. Strange would normally be a for sure purchase but space is finally becoming a real concern, so I am wondering about the quality of the series. I have been on a Masterworks tear lately and will most likely grab the SSM volume.
I brew the beer you drink. What's your super power?
I haven't exactly been obsessed with collecting and have severely slowed down on the purchases this year, but I am on the OHC boat on this one. Bought the entire set (skipped out on Avengers 2) last summer right before it was announced and was a little bothered. Reading the books in OHC format after reading most of my hardcovers in omnibus format, I have to say I'm glad I went this route. It is just so much easier to read a lighter and more portable book especially since I like reading on the bed. That being said, the flip-flopping through the first volumes of both books was annoying. But is it worth shelling out the extra coin? If they included Avengers World into the two omnibuses, that would be a must buy.
I didn't buy the Avengers/New OHCs but sold off the Infinity OHC immediately after the solicits came out. The quality improvement alone is enough for me to upgrade. And the omni fits perfectly with other Hickman Omnis on the shelf
Avengers Omni by Hickman Vol 1 = around 46 issues
This leaves 42 issues of Avengers & New Avengers for 2nd omni leading to Secret Wars. Maybe will be padded with .1 issues?
Avengers World is 21 issues so I'm hoping they will do a companion omni rather than taking issues from here to fill the Avengers omni.
In regards to vol.2, I'm totally hoping for Krisis' option C, collecting all of Avengers World:

Option C collects Avengers #24-34 & 34.1-2, New Avengers #13-23, and Avengers World #1-21
I'd be fine with leaving the remainder as the OHC versions, so collection would be:
Omnibus vol.1+2
Time Runs Out OHC
Secret Wars OHC (Though, they need to get some OHCs / Companions on the go for all the extra material)
When is Marvel gonna collect more of Defalco's late 200s Spidey run? I really want them to collect more of that. The latest Epic was good, but need one to cover material even before that.
Things I love: Batman, Superman, AEW, old films, Lovecraft
Grant Morrison: “Adults...struggle desperately with fiction, demanding constantly that it conform to the rules of everyday life. Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can possibly fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real.”
Maybe I missed it being mentioned here so apologies if so...
Tarzan Lord of the Jungle Omnibus from Marvel Jan 2018
I'm intrigued! I've never read any of it. I have liked my John Carter Omni if that helps. Those that have read this material, your thoughts?
