Re: X-O Manowar Omnibus

Glad I saw this, as I was about to order a copy. Think I'll hold off for now. I can already read the comics at their regular size, so this doesn't offer me anything new. Kind of disappointed, as I really like their Deluxe Editions and the Q&W Omni.

Re: Valiant Mentioned on Fat Man on Batman

The Grant Morrison episodes (3 in all, I think) were SO good. FMOB is at the top of my "read" pile as far as podcasts go.

Re: VALIANT MASTERS aka 90's VU HC editions discussion

I've been keeping my eye on these collections as I wouldn't mind replacing my single issues with hardcover collections, but not enough has been collected yet for me to take the plunge. Also, I have the same OCD issue Captain Craig has about the first 3 collections (and I never liked the re-coloring)...

Re: What comics are you reading now?

Fables TPB #18...liked it but seemed like filler rather than part of the actual Fables storyline #19 ("Snow White") is better. #18 ("Cubs in Toyland") was OK. It was pretty interesting since it had a rather morbid tone which doesn't appear until midway through the book. Cubs in ...

Re: How Many....

The last few months I've made a concerted effort to catch-up on my reading, so I'm going through 5 or 6 trades a week (25-30 issues). Usually, it'd be about that many in a month.

Re: shouldb I switch to just Trades?

A year or so ago I was getting about 30-35 single issues a month - expensive but fun. I can't remember the exact titles, but there were several that I just wasn't compelled to read every month so I dropped them and strated eyeing the trades. This gradually crept across a majority of the books until ...

I love me some omnibuses (omniboo). Been selling off singles and buying hardcovers whenever available for about the past year.

Re: Ininity - Marvel.... anyone ?

Looking forward to reading all of this when it's collected. Heard so many good things about it, and I'm already a Hickman fan, so no-brainer. Got his FF omni coming next week, but I may hold off until the 2nd one is out so I can read it all together.
