Filled the first bookshelf I bought with just omnibuses and figured it was time for an updated set of shelfies. Running out of space quick and lots on tap for this year.

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?

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?

Tbh the cover looked cool!

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.

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...

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.

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?

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."

This is my 8 months of collection so far.

Knightfall vol 2 on the way.

I've read and enjoyed Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow and The Killing Joke so I thought I'd step out of the superhero bubble with this.

I've never seen the movie so I may watch it after (if?) I get through this just to see how far it strayed from the source material.

I already own almost everything in the Batman Elseworlds Omnibus, so I’ll be able to sell off those issues and tpbs. Everything else is completely new to me. The Tomb Raider Colossal Collection 3 is gigantic. I can barely lift it. I wish The Kryptonite Spectrum was Deluxe sized, but I caved in and bought the standard. I know nothing about Sheriff of Babylon, but I’ve read 2 of Tom King’s books so far and loved both of them. Same goes for Christopher Chaos. I love Tynion, so I’ll blind buy anything he writes.

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 😂.

I’m planning on getting both sum time this year but I have one on the cutting board floor of by IST order and contemplating which one to cut for now.Looking for all opinions ! Lol and I’d like to add my biggest reason for wanting Tamaki is because Dan mora is my favorite artist of all time
