Great to hear.

My 2nd choice being the Marvel Knights omnibus, which could be also great to read as a whole. I remember the Marvel Knights stuff being great in the beginning, but I'm pretty sure it went downhill after a while; except the Ennis' Punisher stuff which stayed brilliant right up 'til the end. The Kung Fu Omni., once it's gone, will be gone forever. The Marvel Knights might vanish as well. "Hmmm" what would you all ask for?

Get Allred & Slott Silver Surfer Marvel Knights is just Quesada stuff. I personally don't collect bits and pieces. I don't know The Deadly Heands of Kung Fu though... And Bendis DD was great.

Anybody end up getting any Marvel Omni. over the holidays? I ended up getting both The Deadly Hands of Kung-Fu, volume 2 & the Marvel Knights Omni, which I've already finished. What did you all score?

Nice, Jerry. I’ve got both volumes of the Deadly Hands omnibuses but haven’t started them yet. Still working my way through all the Shang Chi, Master of Kung Fu omnibuses but will tackle those two once done with these four.

Thnx Joe - I only have the 1st 3 volumes of Shang. & know I'm gonna regret not having the 4th (money's tight, & I'll bet it "going, going, gone", sometime soon. Still, up there w/ Marvel's Dracula as one of their best 70's books w/ a conclusion.) No body's talking about this, but I've read from a couple reliable sources on-line, that MCU's fast-tracking a film version of Shang-Chi for the next phase of their films. That'll be great. - https://variety.com/2018/film/news/m...ng-1203078923/

I’d read this as well, Jerry. Totally stoked for it!

And, if you’re interested, CGN has MoKF vol 4 for 30% off:

Plain 'Conan the Barbarian', due this week, is in color. The 'Savage Sword of Conan' Omni, to come in a couple of months, is in black and white.
