New Teen Titans Omnibus (New Edition) Question

[SCampo98]

I had a question about the New Teen Titans Omnibus that as just released in September I was wondering if you guys could help me with. I was looking at buying it and having it as my main source of reading the comics. I have read the first couple of issues and I like it enough so far that I would like to buy the omnibus and continue reading from it.

My question was regarding the binding. I noticed that on the previously released New Teen Titans omnibuses from five years ago, the books were bound with glue. As I plan on using the omnibus as my main reading source, I was really hoping these new editions would have sewn binding. I have looked all over for reviews and videos but I haven't been able to find a picture anywhere that shows it has seen binding.

Would any of you guys know if this new edition had sewn binding?, or do they have a glued binding like the older omnibuses? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Glue
You can really see it clear as day.
Has a better mesh flexible spine that helps open the book more flat.
D C really (imho) have a problem of confidence in there history and what fans are willing to pay.
Marvel will put the extra money in quality and charge extra, while D C will take a cheaper route to
"simulate" what makes Marvel omnibuses so well praised.
I have seen some future D C omnibuses going up from $100 to $125, so maybe they finally accepted
this is more than just a readers market, but a reader/ investors market.
My cheaper Batman Rebirth Deluxe looks sewn..... I know my Ms Marvel (Kamala) Omnibus is and both look
and read better for it.

Thank you for letting me know. I'm disappointed by this as I'm not sure a glue binding (no matter how good), would fair well being read constantly and opened/closed constantly in contrast to how a sewn binding would fair.

Extreme apologies and an up date.
My Teen Titans does show a lot of glue on the spine, but while looking more close I can see it is also has 7 long white stiches across the
inner crease (example page 496/ 497). So while they did use glue, each section of the book is stitched to the mesh spine.
Sorry to you and especially D C Comics for my unacceptable failure to fully check the book and jumping to a ignorant conclusion.
.............. On the bright side, my want and passion to buy more D C books is back on track

I have been buying ALL of the NTT trades as they came out and now have vol 1-7 which collects #1-48. I have thought of getting the newer Omnibus volume 1 which is 688 pages, not too big, but...do I really need to double dip? The trade for vol 8 TP is already solicited and will contain the rest of the first series...I snatched up the "Terror of Trigon" volume from a few years back so I have the crucial issues of the baxter 1984 series as well as the "Who is Donna Troy" volume, both which are now OOP. So yeah, I am probably good.

So it is alright? Good to know.

I don't think any DC omnibus for a while now has been glued. What people see sometimes is extra glue used to attach the decorative cloth spine end.
