I'm glad I bought the uncanny xforce omnibus cause it looks like it's sold out,decided to also get amazing spiderman vol 1 omnibus by J Micheal ,im new to comics and thanks to near mint and gem mint Ive started a omnibus collectio,I saw his other vid that vol 2 of spiderman omnibus comes out this month aswell so Ill be getting that also.
Batman White Knight HC: still in stock
do you like power pack?
I have the x-men material but considered changing it all to the box set but the price in Canada is a lol. The "discount" price on amazon.ca right now is 500
i do! but not enough to buy an omnibus. box sets always seemed a bit silly to me when omnibi are mostly readily available. tho i can see how they'd appeal to more casual collectors (or extremely dedicated collectors).
Power pack never clicked with me. But I haven't read it all as an adult but I have enough to read and enough omnis to buy. I hated FF as a kid but learned to like it over time and now have all the omnis so who knows. But I think I'll sit this one out.
i really like louise simonson. she has a charm that's really rare in comics. it's not anything great or required reading, but it's comfortable stuff with characters that are very easy to care about.
My Simone WW Omni still hasn't come yet. A week! I'm impatient. I want it!
Then all this leads into Remender's Uncanny Avengers which I feel is both better and worse.
Man who was it that used to do breakdowns of first pages? They don't post here anymore at least, but they used to on GAF at least. The broke down the entire first page of UXF #1 and it was great.
Aside from just the basic mechanics of the book, from the consistently strong art being both moody yet clear and having a very distinct palette throughout, in addition to having strong characterizations across the board for an entire ensemble. It is not a light book, and it challenges the nature of a superhero. The entire theme of the book is about killing. How far is too far? Is murder ever justified? At what point does it become murder? Is killing ever morally okay? You then also have another underlying presence dealing with what is essentially nature versus nurture if one can be redeemed from their true nature. For me, I find these to be very interesting and deep for a book like this and for it to very much feel like a superhero book without it being hailed as another "deconstruction."

You forget Opena? For shame.

It's okay. I'm exactly the same.
Fucking right? It's so good.
Read the Year of the Villain Joker one-shot. It's really good and written by John Carpenter.
Shout out to {they know who they are} for hooking me up with all but volume 16 of TWD hardcovers!
New month, new budget/allowance!
Next, I would like to assemble the entirety of he Mirage TMNT.
Also, if possible, the Archie Comics run.
What's the best versions/editions I should acquire?
Currently I'm putting together Y: The Last Man. That's a little on the easy side. IDK about omnibuses. I'd rather do he trade paperbacks. Something makes me feel uneasy about the durability of massive texts...though it looks like that might be the best way to purchase SAGA.

I'd say it's only maaaaybe as good with the Apocalypse Twins stuff. Eff everything else.

Saga has 3 beautiful hardcovers they aren't huge or unwieldy. Best way to read Saga.

It's not Remender going from Uncanny X-Force to SIXIS or Fraction going from Invincible Iron Man to Fear Itself or Bendis, just, the whole thing
If ten of swords is just quirky dumb fun ala new mutants it'll still be better than SIXIS

did you miss the part where she has a giant hyena how is that not cool as fuck
What are those other things between the hyena and the, uh.... Cthulhu-Batman? Are they like.... Spider-Bats?
OP
OP
Very little of any of the metal designs did anything for me. Looks like this won't change with Metal 2 if their idea of cool is making Bud and Lou taller than Harley who's in sweats with a shaved head.
I'll be honest: I probably enjoy all the wag through Avenge the Earth more than Uncanny X-Force, and that's peak UA. AXIS fucks it up, and then you have five issues after which are mediocre.
Again, what I mean when I say both better and worse.

DC books were late. They're up now.
Someone let me know how Strange Academy is. Was gonna buy #1 but all the preview pages are just Director's Cut script pages. Fucking hate these Director's Cut issues.

They're good excuses to wait for the regular versions to hit, and by then you've lost all interest.
Strange Adventures was good. I like using two different artists to differentiate between past and present. Only the first issue, but it seems promising.
Marauders was also really good.
Marauders was also really good.
First it was asking who Comics Twitter was subtweeting all day (SGM). Then it was something like, I'm paraphrasing, "I found out who it was. Guy who we all knew was an asshole acts like an asshole" or something like that
Strange Adventures: It's interesting that it uses an interview from one of the old Adam Strange comic creators at the end.
It's somebody's job at DC to trawl through Comic Journals to find Tom twelve of those.

I would say I'm glad I don't care for omnibuses cause that life looks full of pain but then I remember that X-Factor Complete Collection will never be finished and I cry.
I just wanted to say that I actually imported some FAKKU books and I'm not (too) ashamed of it.
every single time I wonder "hey shouldn't I have dropped Justice League Odyssey by now?", it delivers a perfect little burst of cosmic danger and mystery, big ideas and weird corners of DC continuity
I daresay it's the hottest book you're not currently reading since Abnett took over, it's got that special VIBE y'know? that thing that made Cosmic Marvel cool, well it's got it

Picked up Mech Cadet Yu v1 and Bendis Young Justice v1 from the library yesterday. Hopefully I can jump in easily into Young Justice.
And also Millar's Prodigy.
Everyone should be on the omni train!
