User tobehulkinued2 posted on the Marvel Masterworks forum; I started on the Byrne Omnibus, but got impatient with the team-up books that are at the front of the book Now, I'm a fairly athletic guy, so I put the Fantastic Four omnibus down, grabbed the remote with my right hand to switch channels and at the[...]

Marvel's David Gabriel announced that four Omnibus books at least, which have been so out of print they regularly sell for hundreds of dollars above their cover price, will be reprinted. Uncanny X-Men Vol 1, Fantastic Four Vol 1, Amazing Spider-Man Vol 1 and Frank Miller's Daredevil Vol 1. These will start to appear in the June[...]

But they didn't tell us everything. Like the Animal Man Omnibus collecting Grant Morrison's 25 issue run, a modern masterpiece. Or Sandman beginning a run in the Omnibus format. How about Jeph Loeb, Ed McGuinness and Michael Turner's initial run on Batman/Superman getting the Absolute treatment? There's the Solo Omnibus with a legion of fantastic artistic names, their[...]

That is if Thomas Mason's recently recoloured page is anything to go by. The colourist for Marvel collected editions posted on his Facebook page a recolored cover of Uncanny X-Men #199, and confirmed it's for publication. He was the same fellow who recoloured the covers for Jim Lee's X-Men Omnibus, the Mutant Genesis 2.0 oversized hardcover and[...]

How's the binding? DC Comics have had serious issues with their hardcover binding of late – and with books increasing in size,[...]

If you have a copy of  Flash Omnibus Vol 3, you may be aware that certain pages appear out of sequence, in a fashion that rather spoil the story. As we suggested, DC Comics has made the book returnable through the comic store retailer you bought it from, and will replace it. But the retailer needs to[...]

A Bleeding Cool reader writes; I just bought Flash Omnibus Vol 3 The collection celebrates Geoff Johns' run on the title and, as you may remember, the Rogue War storyline leads into a longer storyline with Wally and Linda West regaining their pregnancy It's a very big moment in the comic, but to my horror, DC[...]

Coming at some indeterminate point, an X-Force Omnibus collecting Rob Liefeld's run on New Mutants and X-Force And this is how the recolouring is going by Thomas Mason…   Coming at some indeterminate point, an X-Force Omnibus collecting Rob Liefeld's run on New Mutants and X-Force And this is how the recolouring is going by Thomas[...]

And with New Teen Titans Omnibus Vol 2, it seemed that this was indeed happening. And with the Jack Kirby Spirit World Hardcover, it looks like this is now standard practice for the publisher Stitched pages, sufficient margin gap here's an "unboxing video" to prove it.

Bleeding Cool have run a number of concerned comments on the quality of DC Comics' thick hardbacks of late, and how a number of them can be unreadable. Dan DiDio promised that the concern had been noted and that things would be fixed by the time of the New Teen Titans Omnibus So how did he[...]

The next Wolfman/Perez Titans omnibus is published in April Let's take a look then, shall we? At the weekend, Bleeding Cool ran a piece in which[...]

Kris Shaw's Marvel vs DC Omnibus video led to some pretty interesting discussion in the forum today I'm a pretty big consumer of Omnibuses, archives, and other hc formats from both publishers, and there are lots of little pluses and minuses on both sides of the equation  But quality across the board on these has[...]

Bleeding Cool reader Kris Shaw is a little ticked about the state of DC Comics Omnibus titles when compared to Marvel Omnibus equivalent And how sewn binding makes a big big difference in gutter disappearance and books laying flat So he decided to record the difference for YouTube And then told me about it. Now if[...]
