i prefer TPBs - easier to read and store, i still buy individual comics but a lot of titles i wait for TPB and constantly consider going that route 100%

I did recently. I have Knightfall, Knightquest and Knightsend in digital format. From these three Knighfall is the best followed by Knightsend. Knightquest is the weakest. Similar to Funeral for a Friend and the rise of the Supermen in the Death and Return of Superman series. It slows down in the middle and then builds up back again.

Although not perfect, Knightfall is an entertaining read (specially for 90's buffs). The omnibus contains material not included in the TPB, so it is an instant purchase for me. Can't wait to add it to the library!

I went ahead and cancelled Knightfall. I need to tighten up on my spending even further which means about one book a month. With War of Kings coming out as well I had to make a choice.

However I did PO Absolute Preacher vol 2 for May!

I preordered Knightfall Omnibus and Perez WW Omnibus vol. 2 too I just didn't write them in my previous post couse they were old preorders compeared to my Legion preorders which were recent at the time.

I will pay for George Perez WW omni only 35 dolars including shipping so there won't be a customs tax too I was pretty lucky on that one.

It's not an omni or DC but i got pretty lucky on Robocop vs Terminator Gallery Edition too. I will pay for it 54 dolars including shipping so there won't be a customs tax and its original price is 125 dolars. Woohoo !!! It will be my first GE.

oh, i must add that it will be my third dipping with the Knightfall Omnibus. I have the old 3 thin TPBs. I have the latest 3 Chunky TPBs and i will have the omnis soon... This is my second third dipping xD the first one was The Geoff Johns JSA Omnibus vol. 3. I have the single issues of it, The TPBs and The Omni.

I wonder if i will have Fourth or even Fifth dippings someday that would be even crazier... A sign of things really getting out of hand
