r/OmnibusCollectors

My First Sunday Selfie!

I mostly collect single issues, so have a bigger collection of that, but figured I’d share my collected editions collection with the group!

Hello, I just started getting into Star Wars omnibuses and I bought the one pictured in the post for pretty cheap. Now I see why haha. Can I fix this? Is that just the glue chipping away?

Thank you for the help!

Plus toys and shoes

About 2 years into going from single issues and trade backs to omnibus. What do you guys think?

Not the best photo but have just packed this lot up for a house move. Will probably replace the shelves before unpacking!

Finally have my new shelf put in and my oversized Batman books hung!

I’ve been wanting to pick up the Black Cat by Jed MacKay Omnibus, but it’s become pretty hard to find at a reasonable price.

Has Marvel ever hinted at a reprint, or do you think it’s likely to get one in the next few years?

I’m trying to decide whether to wait or just pay aftermarket prices. What do you all think?

I’ve been collecting DC omnibuses and comics for years, but decided to hop over to Marvel for the hype behind Doomsday. I started on this New Avengers by Bendis Vol 1 omnibus that I found on Facebook. I paid $150 for it. I noticed right away that the eye is opening super narrow and the cover of the spine is creasing in ways I’ve never seen before. Then I noticed these weird ribbons near the mull. Is this normal with Marvel omnibuses or is this some sort of amateur rebind?

Edit: I have seen other posts here about the eye being stretched vertically, but this is the first time I’ve seen an Omni spine crease. I was mostly curious as the whether this looked like a rebind, due to the weird ribbons following down the spine and the crappy looking glue job. I realize now that I could have titled this post better.

My collection of 260 omnibus….been collecting for quite awhile and fortunately never had to pay over retail for one

I'm definitely not complaining about the price of that Darth Vader omnibus. That's actually the same store where I picked up Darth Vader by Gillen. I guess that place just wants me to continue reading about the dark lord of the Sith. Did you all get anything this weekend?

I'm a DC guy, but I have a small Marvel collection. I'm currently trying to buy the full run of ASM by Lee/Romita.

This should be an easy task. There should be like 5 editions of this run in print. But nope... not a single trade, hardcover, OHC, epic collection or omnibus is available for huge gaps of this run.

Am I crazy or are these not the most sought after runs for their biggest characters? The characters that built their house...they can't keep Spider-Man and X-Men or any other flagship character's most sought after runs in print for newcomers to buy?

There is just no excuse for this Marvel... these books will sell and keep selling til the end of time because they are two of the most important runs by your biggest characters. idfc if you wanna limit your stock, but there is feasibly no limit to these two runs. Restocks should be checked if they're needed every 3-4 months.

...And yes I made this post because I'm mad. And I refuse to engage with the 2nd hand market price-gouging.

Yes I know they've reprinted Goblins Last Stand Epic and Spider-Man No More is coming next month. And I was able to find Petrified Tablet for cover at my LCS. But what about Death of Captain Stacy or Goblin Lives? What about Great Power and Great Responibility? I only have the first 50 issues cause I bought the old ass masterwork tpbs second hand.
