Yeah, it's crazy how crazy that makes me ha They may do just that, I think they updated Justice League 1 and Flash 1 when they reprinted them, didn't they? I guess they think the uniform look turns people off, I guess if the volumes look more individually exciting they'll sell better? I dunno. To me, I think it's pretty clear that the buyers for these things are the hardcore nerds who want a full set, and like the look of a standard trade dress on their shelves. At least I know I do!

Totally agree with you. Too bad DC didn't consult us first!

I'm going to send a sternly worded email demanding that we be included in these decisions!

While you are at it, tell 'em to fix this monstrosity. Been driving me nuts for 20 years.

IM more concerned about why they arent in numerical order (3-4, 3-4)!

Are you ok? 

(jk, I've been known to make my own trade dress dust jackets so they are consistent. I remember doing that with the old Daredevil Omnibuses that had those 1/2 dust jackets. )

Aaargh!!! Well that's embarrassing! I must have been too distracted by Vol. 6 to notice! Thank you for pointing that out. All better now (except that ugly V6)

Yeah, that really, really bothered me for a long time. Ended up selling them off when they started doing the Omni's. I THINK with the latest omni we're now caught up on the material covered in the archives, right? I think that brings us up to the stuff covered in the Superboy and the LoSH deluxe hc's. What I'm REALLY waiting for is the Grell and Cockrum stuff!

I've stopped collecting DC's Golden/Silver/Bronze Age TPBs because they were all uniform in color, but now they're adding weird unique designs to each volume. For shame, DC. For shame.

Fear Omnibus came out today. I can't see buying that after I already own Man-Thing and Morbius. I get annoyed when they recycle stuff, they could have just printed never published material.

All of these were recommendations from the "1000 book club" thread. I'm looking forward to reading these...eventually.

Apparently not buying the Death of Superman Omnibus from IST is gonna cost me an additional $275 (MSRP +$200). Ridiculous.

Is that Vision HC back in stock? 

Answer to my own question: Yes it is on IST.

When the guy in the video (1st video) poses the question about why so many Cap Omni's being reprinted it could be because of the 80th anniversary coming up next year.  Not sure if that's been addressed in this thread yet or not but that's my theory, at least.  A lot of new readers may want some history of Cap with that anniversary on the horizon.

That’s a good point!

I can never sit through these videos, so I ran over to the masterworks forum to read the scoop. Super psyched about Inferno finally getting a reprint! I couldn't turn down the money back when it went OOP, but my bookshelf has been sad without it, as it really is my favorite X-Men era (this is influenced heavily by my nostalgia, obviously.) So glad I didn't give in and shell out $300 to get another copy. Hopefully we'll get Fall of the Mutants back at some point as well. At that point I think all I'd need is Phalanx Covenant. I bought that one when it came out, sold it when it went OOP and prices went up. Happened upon a copy for $60 last year at a 2nd and Charles, briefly considered keeping it just for the sake of the collection, but sold that one too because I couldn't pass up $250 for some of the ugliest X-comics ever made. I promise if they reprint it again, I'll hang onto it!

Looks like Captain America by Kirby (so that's the Madbomb era, right?) and GA Cap vol 1 coming back as well. Very cool. Has there been any news of a reprint of the Brubaker books? That's a set I'd happily buy again.

In other news, my Surfer omni finally landed last week. Here's hoping my Absolute Fourth World finally escapes from the hub in Cincinnati sometime this week.

No doubt volume 1 will sell out and they’ll do the rest...These are the last reprints I really wanted. Excited to read them since I’ve barely read any Cap and always enjoy Brubaker.
