The Marvel Omnibus Thread

[Mister H]

I’ll be buying at least one Marvel omnibus every month till the end of the year. Will definitely be getting the Defenders and yes I agree, an Invaders Omni would be a dream come true. Those comics weren’t always great but as a whole that was an awesome run.

The lack of consistency/reliability when it comes to release dates has really become frustrating. There have been many times the past 3-6 months where I have an omninbus on my wish list at instocktrades where the release date comes and instead of it actually going on sale that day the page/listing just gets removed. It's happened twice this week with the Lee X-Men Omnibus Vol 2 and Deluxe Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe.

I acknowledge that times are different/tough right now and things like this can happen but the volume at which it's been happening has definitely become frustrating. It honestly just makes me feel like paying for a Marvel Unlimited subscription and being done with it. I really enjoy the physical books and all but the "chasing" of the books is really not worth it to me.

You can do advanced orders at Talesofwonder...which is weird because they are basically the same company as Instocktrades.

I'll check that site, thanks. I've heard people mention different sites in the past but it seems like that's always mentioned; that it's the same company. So I guess I never really presumed there would be that big of a difference between the sites.

Crap. I just looked at the listing yesterday afternoon and it was there but still not ready for order but now it's gone. Still up for PO at other places and Previews says March 17 so I'm hoping to still get it from instocktrades.

[Mister H]

I didn't take any chances and PO'd it through Talesofwonder. That's one of the ones I have to have.

I believe I saw it at CGN.

[nbr3bagshotrow]

Anyone else waiting on their copy of uncanny xmen vol 4 from CGN?

[Mister H]

Mine just shipped from Instocktrades finally.

[Master Pizza]

Expect my order to be delivered today.
