Gotham Central, just b/c I don't want to have to try and track down the however many trades to read it.

I've got the Motormouth omnibus already (it didn't last more than 1 issue, right?) ;)

[paper]

I like regular trades. I mostly read in bed or on the train, so Absolutes/Omnibussesssessses don't really appeal to me. If I had a good sturdy table to read at, it might be different.

If I had to pick?

I'd buy absolute/omnibus editions of: Tintin, Gotham Central, Y, maybe Daredevil.

The closest i've gotten to actually getting one was that Frank Miller Daredevil Omnibus. But just to collect the run, not for the format.

[xyzzy]

I'm not really into the Absoulte/Omnibus format, but a Nextwave OHC would be pretty neat.

[jerome]

Alan Moore's Swamp Thing would be peachy

[jurassicalien]

The Batman Adventures would be great (Can throw Mad Love in there)

Grant Morrison: JLA

That's all I can think of at the moment.

[jerome]

I have high hopes that this will happen.

[fred]

that would be awesome

[six-gun]

Grant Morrison: JLA


ooOoo! I'd drop $100.00

[jerome]

i wouldn't drop 100 on anything

[six-gun]

i wouldn't drop 100 on anything

I'd actually drop the $60.00 that Amazon would Charge

[acomicbookgirl]

Omnibus/Absolute.... Hmm... V for Vendetta, Green Arrow, Phil Jimenez or George Perez' run of Wonder Woman, JLA/Avengers, Marvels, Dark Phoenix Saga.. I would like to see an oversized edition of Bone..

I'm on a mission for Absolute Crisis on Infinite Earths...

[kwok_talk]

Oooh. That oversized Bone would be cool too.

[alexg]

I'm holding out for the Oversized Richie Rich omnibus...;)

[comhcinc]

Oooh. That oversized Bone would be cool too.

it is i give those away as presents

That single volume Bone is pretty much one of my all time favorite comic purchases.

Any thoughts on the color version of Bone? for some reason I'm not crazy about it. It still looks good, but I guess I'm a purist

[comhcinc]

i haven't seen it but i don't think it would add anything to the book. i don't know i'd have to see it

One volume is the way to go I think--it's the way Smith orginally intended it and that means something to me at least.

Yeah, I have a thing for giant ass HC's.

I think Absolutes are made for finite stories and the art has to be awesome, something you can pour over more than any book, plus the story has to be classic, hence - New Frontier, Sin City library, Dark Knight books.

I too have the single book Bone, I was pissed off when I got it initially because it was the smaller book and the grandness of the art was lost a bit, the other thing, was that it was a soft cover and even though the binding was good it was kind of awkward to read especially at some points near the margins (I didn't want to pull it way open because I thought it would stuff up the spine). I would love to see an absolute version in colour for this book, that would really make Rockjaw and big Red some weight.

[jerome]

Oooh. That oversized Bone would be cool too.

Its so the way to go.. I would love to see an oversized version of it.. I'm loving it.. I'll probably get it for my cousin for his b-day or christmas..

I'm waiting for the New Kids On The Block Omnibus

[fred]

[kwok_talk]

[iSteve]

I second the motion of a Bendis Daredevil Omnibus.

[k33k3r]

Ex Machina
Y: The Last Man
DMZ if it continues along the lines it on right now.

[fred]

I second the motion of a Bendis Daredevil Omnibus.

I would too if I didn't already own it all in oversized HC

[comhcinc]

that was a joke right? I was thinking the same thing

if i know you very well i will get you something i know you like. if on the other hand we are not that tight, i'll get you something that represents me

[fred]

ah - we were talking about Oversized Bone and you said 'I like to give them away as presents'

ah nevermind

[comhcinc]

right and what would represent me better than me giving you oversized bone?


if anything i bet you will remember it

[k33k3r]

HAHAHAHA wow..... This convo is great being on the outside looking in.

[fred]

who's outside looking at my oversized bone?

ok, nevermind - I'm bowing out now

[k33k3r]

LOL - good call

[dgoke]

I know I'm gonna take flack for this but I would like to see an Omnibus of the Onslaught event. Now now before you stab me with a pitchfork and burn me at the stake (I know you're thinking it) let me explain. Onslaught was the thing that got me into comics I didn't buy the trades when they were available and now they are not and I want to see whole event for nostalgic purposes. (you may resume your torch carring mobiness

[thomas-katers]

Absolute Swamp Thing of Alan Moore's run!

[fred]

that would be cool - I'm for Moore in large nice format all the time

[thomas-katers]

that would be cool - I'm for Moore in large nice format all the time

It would be awesome to see all those creative page layouts in a huge format.

[alexg]

Two characters I'd most like to see in an Omnibus?

Betty and Veronica
