Thanks, I’ll definitely check out the software! What’s the beatbox way to retain the first and last page of the book? I head some methods of separation can take those along with the covers.

Most importantly of all, remember to post the results here :P I am still awaiting funds to bind my Negation collection - God knows when that will be!

I picked the #0 issue up at a comic con, I'm going to be honest and admit that the cover looked cool... Anyway, I collected the rest in single issues and I absolutely loved it! It turns out that Negation is one series in a bunch by CrossGen, and I want to read the rest too, eventually. Anyway, it was friggin awesome and HC collected editions are hard to get, even the SCs were pricey last I saw. So I might as well get a sparkly new one of my own

I don't know where the FF issues would go but I found the prelude story to the final battle in uncanny X-Men and the avengers and the actual storyline


Avengers # 244 The Final Battle prelude Part 1
Avengers # 245 The Final Battle prelude Part 2
Uncanny X-Men # 187 The Final Battle prelude Part 3
Uncanny X-Men # 188 The Final Battle prelude Part 4
Rom Annual # 3 The Final Battle prelude Part 5
ROM # 60 The Final Battle Part 1
ROM # 61 The Final Battle Part 2
ROM # 62 The Final Battle Part 3
ROM # 63 The Final Battle Part 4
ROM # 64 The Final Battle Part 5
ROM # 65 The Final Battle Part 6
ROM # 66 The Final Battle Part 7

Just make sure on the cover somewhere it says ROMnibus.

It's basically 3 and 1/4 trades put together. The (awesome & must read) Silver Surfer IG-prelude stuff is taken from Infinity Gauntlet Prelude HC (2018 Marvel) (which is basically the Rebirth of Thanos old TPB but with MORE added), which is only available in the (very expensive) Infinity Gauntlet HC Box Set....I mention this because that HC (smartly) excerpts a few of the issues on the TOC. I didn't bother to identify which are merely excerpts...which is only like 2-4 issues I think.

Anyway, definitely one of my topmost best binds and just one of my best ideas, period.

Very cool man...thanks for the peek at the TOC.

Literally just went through all 70 pages of this thread after discovering it 2 hours ago. Wow......there are some really nice custom binds in here. Way beyond what I thought was possible. Makes me want to go home and look for things to bind haha.

It's addictive. I'm juggling a lot of projects right now...need to buckle down and get a few more sent in.

Thanks for the heads up. Funny you mention that......I was on their website yesterday. I was going to contact them.......do you know if they can do graphic covers?

[Gotham Thrasher]

I don't know if they do graphic covers but you should ask. They're really great to talk to with friendly and knowledgeable staff. I didn't ask about graphic covers because truth be told I haven't used Photoshop in close to a decade, so I'm more then a little rusty. So I'm just focusing on good old fashioned cloth covers for now as really my main goal in binding is to get my comics out of the bags and boards and on a shelf . But yeah definetly, you ask them if that's something they do.
