Those will be great! I'm waiting until the Prelude comes out and then I will start my cosmic journey starting with Conquest.... I may even re-read Annihilation just to do it all over again!

Reading Shang Chi Omni Vol 1... Read through issues 15-24 so far. Storyline is slower than I'd like and repetitive (i.e., Fu Manchu assassin of the month against Shang Chi) but the artwork is fabulous. However, I'm absorbing it all. It reads like Dracula, i.e., an endless chase.

Here's a question: How many of you go back for 2nd, 3rd or more readings of an Omnibus? Did you enjoy it as much? More?

Just curious. There are a couple I'd like to go back and read but they take me so long to get through that I've already established quite the backlog and of course more continue to be released. Not sure if I'll ever go back despite my intentions!

I do on occasion. Primarily, I collect them and use them for quick reference. I do most of my reading digitally.

[MrJones]

Now that is interesting! What made you go digital? I was reading comics on my tablet for awhile but once I switched back to books I can't even compare. I just love holding a book so much more.

[Davidian]

Yeah I'm curious too. I'd be afraid that once I went digital, my physical connection would just become a tireless burden. Lucky for me, I love having something physical in my hands for the money I spent.

No, never. I have way too much to read and way too little time. Once I am done, I move on to the next.

I opened up Alpha Flight & it is magnificent! Only problem is that on the opening page there is a sort of ri where you can see the white behind the thick black page so will have to see if I can get a replacement

Decent amount of extras too, MArvel Age's, articles from other magazines, pin-ups, etc

I'm surprised that the price for this at Amazon.com is still so high ($83 I think?) It normally is half price by now

Never reread my omnis or books I have so much too read and not enough time!

[Penoy]

I do, though it takes a while since there are so many others to go through. Sometimes when I rearrange I will pick one up and read and issue or so.
