Due to wear and tear of rereading old comics, I've always been a fan of collections, especially those that include additional art or interviews with the creators to think about works considered classics over the years. the complete works have even greater weight when the volumes refer to hard to find comics very expensive. Marvel Masterworks He seemed to be the best they had, even when compared with the graphic novels and paperbacks, because you might receive 10 copies of each volume that includes annuals. Sure, they were more expensive but considering how much trouble you could get for about $ 55, which was certainly much better than buy their own comics if I wanted less degeneration of these precious items. At least you have the opportunity to read stories of years without wearing gloves or the payment of a mint, if you had found all.It seemed the best value and quality for all the collected works.
All this changed when he raised the stakes Marvel with its collections of Omnibus. Marvel Omnibus collections is no bar of the highest quality and value to date. The characters are given a greater sense of their contribution to the comic book industry who care more about the issues we are getting, because Marvel has shown that care about the character too.
Omnibus collections are literally the "red carpet" for their volume, not least for the HULK OMNIBUS. The enormous size of its pages showing Marvel's dedication to underline and bold-faced capitalized importance that the issues discussed here and their place in comics history iconic: much larger than their original comics, strong binding sites, brilliant Each page of each original comic, and unpublished art, current and past interviews (including everything that was in the counterpart teachers), alternate and variant covers - even better - up to 30 numbers per volume, whether annual or special appearances (ie "What if?", etc. ..). All this for less than the cost of two volumes of the masterpieces of Marvel would give only comic reader 20.
I am not attacking the masterpieces because they still feel they have tremendous value, especially when you consider what you can get from those who have not been released from the bus. In addition, many masterpieces have become less expensive in the resale market due to the popularity of the buses. Some can not see the difference bewteen the Omnibus vs masterpieces and just want the issues of great volume.
The buses are becoming as good as Marvel DC series absolute and sometimes much better, because not all the DC Absolute series has beautiful glossy pages. Here, each volume of Marvel's as good as the last and the next.
The thin line is that the Omnibus collections are best there is that Marvel has to release. As a fan of Marvel, I'm more than likely collect all the volumes I can for my favorite superhero, perhaps even those who never have considered before. The bus remind us why they are the icons. X-Men, Spider-Man, Daredevil, Iron Man and Hulk now, comic stars get star treatment, a Director's Cut for their comics. I can not see it get any better than this.
