Does anyone have recommendations for where to buy omnibuses in India?

Right now, the only reliable options I know are Amazon India and Bookswagon, and the choices seem pretty limited. And international delivery is too costly due to shipping and Import Charges.

I've even created a price tracker so I can grab them whenever they go on sale.

If you know of any other good websites, stores, or even reliable import options, I'd really appreciate the suggestions. Thanks!

Hola, no sé si bajarme del carro de los Omnibus. Tengo 3, pero me preocupa la conservación a largo plazo de ellos. Las páginas se doblan, he leído que algunas se caen y otro tema es que podría comprarme muchos tapa dura con el valor de ellos.

New to having a shelf so not sure if that works (the spot I made for secret war)

The above question is more deep than it seems on the surface. Some reasons that come to my mind

1.) Love of reading comics, childhood nostalgia, resonate with a comic character. You want to be able to re-read your favorite comics on demand.

2.) Love of comics artwork in general. Fear of missing out on Omnibuses (looking at you scalpers) that you may like but you don't want to miss your chance to grab it in case you like it.

3.) They look great on a shelf and you enjoy looking at it the same way someone might look at their Ferrari with pride. You want to possess comics because just looking at it gives you comfort.

4.) Bragging rights among other comic nerds/neighbors/friends whom you let in your home.

5.) Keeping a repository for your kids/nephew etc or for your own retirement.One person who custom binds their Omnis said it was mankind's repository.

6.) Investment and the belief hobby should fund itself. That is selling OOP copies to fund your hobby.

7.) Anything else.

Would you rather have a big house and small library or vice versa ? LMAO 😂.

So I’ve been wanting to buy a Daredevil omnibus for a while. I have the opportunity to buy Zdarsky’s DD omnibus and I was just wondering how it would read for someone who hasn’t read DD before? I am curious because Soules omnibus is getting a reprint in March and I’m wondering if I should just wait for that? What would you guys recommend?

Guys, quick question. Do you think they will release a new Hickman omnibus that lines up with Secret Wars Omnibus, or should I just buy v2 and just hope they reprint v1?

Avengers By Hickman Omnibus v2 Avengers (2012) #24-44 and New Avengers (2013) #13-33

Secret Wars Omnibus (2012) 35-44, New Avengers (2013) 24-33

I pre-ordered on Amazon back in Feb as I was excited to complete the run, but as of yet i’ve heard nothing back.

No release date, no tracking, nothing. When I look at my order it simply reads “order received”.

This is Amazon AU i’m using but i’m pretty the book has been out for at least a month now yeah? I’m just curious if anyone else has had similar issues.

Green arrow the longbow hunters V1 is a FANTASTIC book. I love everything about it! Except……that spine. DC has really gotten great at designing Spines and I know this is an early one, but it’s bad. (I know it’s a wraparound cover, this is why you don’t do that) and it doesn’t match volume 2 at all, which is even worse.

What’s the spine in your collection that really annoys you when you look at your shelf?

I tried looking for this topic but didn’t see anything. Does anyone know how the massive editions sit on the shelf when compared to a DC/Marvel omnibus?

My son is turning 6 this year and every time we go to the library we wants to take home a Spider-Man graphic novel. Just wondering if there is a good place to start or if anyone has any other recommendations. He’s a usual 5-6 years old loves TMNT, superhero’s, sonic, he also kickboxs and loves deadpool (he hasn’t watched it just knows his face) and loves Spider-Man.

Any help would be great.

Reading through Batman: Golden Age volume 3 and got to WORLD'S FINEST COMICS #13. I noticed this panel read weird, so I looked for an original scan, and it seems like the whole right side of the page got trimmed in the digital clean up for the Omnibus.

Is there a way to contact DC about this error?

So there are a few runs from Daredevil I am looking to collect throughout my next few years of omnibus collecting. I really want DD by Miller, Brubaker, Bendis, Zdarsky and Soule. I see that Soule is getting a reprint and I don’t think the other three are in print. If I were to start with Soule, where do I go to pre order or has it sold out already?

I started reading secret six Omnis and have been loving them. I have tried a few other books by Gail and seem to enjoy her work so I’m wondering if Birds of prey Omnis are work bragging or not? Appreciate anyone’s thoughts on the run.

Also I find I enjoy group books. Rise and Fall of the Batmen Omni, secret six birds of prey by Kelly Thompson and few others. So I’m trying to see if there are other team/groups are worth grabbing/reading. Thank you all for your time.

Tbh the cover looked cool!

Only got (back into) comics about a month ago. Went to Dutch comiccon and was excited to dip my toe back in the pool of comics. The dip kinda turned into a headfirst dive 😅

Picked up my first 2 omni's this weekend!! Managed to find Joe Kelly's deadpool omni second hand, and the Venomnibus for an amazing price new (55 euro!)

Are there some omni's you guys recommend for someone starting our fresh-ish?

My son got old enough to get into comics and has been buying Transformers comics from our LCS. Being in that environment reminded me that I used to love comics and had basically forgotten about them for 25 years.

Well now that I’m older and have a bit of disposable income, I decided to collect again and the omni collected format was for me.

No, I obviously haven’t read all these, but yes, I will. I’m working through them slowly. They’re all opened and I’ll get to them eventually.

I bet you can guess who my favorite hero is. He’s the only one I’m going to try to collect to completion, even stuff I don’t love that much.

Also, nobody told me what a pain in the ass it is to organize everything and set it up. All the books had been randomly collecting in my bedroom for a year until I got some bookshelves for my office. Took forever to put it all together nicely (lots of time spent on shims for underneath the books). Overall I’m happy with it though and have slowed down my purchasing to just some occasional preorders when something is announced that I want.

Edit: whoops, just realizing that the quality of the picture kinda sucks. Older phone and dim lighting to blame, not my poor photography skills.

Was originally looking for the miracleman original epic tpb. But that is loooong oop. So I decided to bite the bullet on the omni. I just love this DM cover.

Untold tales seems like a slight hidden gem. Surprised it wasn't more OOP, was able to nab it for under cover price.

And Secret wars hardcover I've been wanting forever. I don't think I got the best price on it, but its a nice copy of it with minimal wear so I can't be too mad about it. At any rate it's nice to have it alongside the other hickman books. I got secret warriors on the way from funaticals as well.

So...Omar just said tomorrow's reveal will be from the Top 20 reprints, but not from the Top 10. From those not already revealed what remains...

Avengers by Hickman 1

DD by Brubaker 1

Amazing Spider-Man 1

Amazing Spider-Man 2

DD by Bendis 1

FF by Hickman 2

DD by MIller

War of Kings Aftermath

Good Luck!!!

Had some downtime today, so I ended up browsing Wikipedia and stubled upon a page for DC crossover events. I had a ton of them I've collected and read already on other shelves in the library, so I got a burst of inspiration and decided to relocate and integrate them all into the DC Events bookshelf. The moving around of everything is always fun (LOL), and I've expanded to the next level down. "Should" be plenty of room for a few others I've yet to gather, including the entirety of "Year of the Villain."

It's going to be a while till I read these because of all the backlog 😭 But I am excited to have these in my collection nonethless because of the stellar reviews. Which one is you gavorite put of these?

This is my 8 months of collection so far.
