There, Devil Reign Crossover between Top Cow and Marvel. Includes Witchblade, Weapon Zero, Cyberforce, Elektra, Wolverine, ... etc.

Check it out, might interest you since it is 11 issues cost way below its individual issues price.

Spider-Man "One More Day" Hmmm. I am kinda interested in the story-line but obligations to X-Men Run kinda deterred me from pursuing it altogether. Keep me posted on what is happening to Peter Parker and I hope they don't wave a wand to keep the marriage apart.

Well, PC Games / Online Games / PS dominated the new blood plus the stiff price of the comics is the root cause of the decline in readers. Or else The Mind Shop would still have more branches and a recent comic shop would not be closed last month.

Thanks for the sypnosis, as much as I like Spider-Man, I find that you had to be a brave and talented writer to continue the marriage rather than takes up a wand and change it. True Spider-Man becomes a bore or maybe harder to write but that is a challenge. Remember the Spider-Clones fiasco when they decided to take out Peter Parker??? Since it is still unknown, I hope Marvel have the guts to keep the status quo.

Maybe being part of New Avengers is stalling his progress.

I am not into Torrent as I kinda love to have a comic on the hand to read, DVD to watch on TV not PC. Maybe this is a part of me that is not techie but I prefer it that way.

As I had mentioned earlier, Ultimate line is the new line bringing the characters into the new age minus the long history. Though this is a good and ideal starting point for new reader, long history of character/story would make the comic richful. Hehe.. For Spider-Man, Uncle Ben... Gwen Stacy.. the marriage of Peter & Mary Jane... etc making Spider-Man more colourful. For X-Men, Dark Phoenix Sage, Fall of the Mutants, X-Tinction Agenda, etc..

Ultimate Spider-Man got the most longest Writer & Artist in the team thus making it ideal for good continuity.

LOL.. Oddly I never like SPAWN. He is supposed to be like using all his powers up by now right?

SPAWN early issues would fetch quite a value. Imagine if you can get a hand on # 1 Spider-Man or # 1 Superman in Near-Mint Condition.

It seems that this Forum has lack of participation. At this rate it gonna be a long time before a new Forum can be set-up.

Capt America Omnibus is out the last I check. Since it is around RM300-00, dont think the shops will carry a lot of them. Happy hunting.

Last I check, I noted that it was listed in Kinokuniya Website but now I am not sure since I can't find it anymore. Borders would be a good choice too since I can find New X-Men Omnibus there.

Omnibus is a huge collection set. Capt America Omnibus collects # 1 - 25 issues worth plus Annual.

New X-Men Omnibus collects New X-Men # 114 - 154 plus Annual. So technically it is cheaper than individual issues.

Not a true God of Comics as my scope is not covering all bases of Comics. I limit myself to X-Titles and few facourites. Anyway it would be a great joy to help right as much as I can.

New X-Men Omnibus by Grant Morrison depends on your appetite. Anyway it is louded by all on his approach on X-Men where they sport the movie black spandex. The art is inconsistent until the last arc but buy for the story. If you like good artwork, try X-Men : Messiah Complex One-Shot by Marc Silvestri.



Captain America is killed on # 25. So he should be dead on that issue. Alas, it is not the death that would be interesting but rather what is the follow-up on the issue without Steve Rogers.

Book Description
Collecting Eisner Award-nominated Best Writer Ed Brubaker's first 25 landmark issues of Captain America in one titanic tome, plus the Captain America 65th Anniversary Special and Winter Soldier: Winter Kills one-shots!

Collecting Captain America #1-25, Captain America 65th Anniversary Special and Winter Soldier: Winter Kills.

No experience with Amazon. I prefer to buy from local comic shop since I can get it when it arrives. In comic shop, you could find others, chat and mingle around.

I notice there is few type of Shipping in Amazon. It is you use the cheapest one? USD 5.00???

Well the plus point if you purchase from Borders / Kino is that at times there will be offer. I believe that there will be a discount if you ask the store for Omnibus title since it is expensive or you can wait till Christmas when there would be normally discount offer for all books.

As for the price at RM254-80, since it is 26 issues of comic -- and per comic is normally RM12-00. It is consider a bargain. Unless of course plus 20% discounts on RM254-80, it woule be so much cheaper.

I had check e-bay MY before and it is quite limited plus the pricing is kinda high. As for e-bay international, would they be trust-worthy?

Fallen Son is the reaction on Capt America's death, so if you did purchase the Omnibus it would be ideal follow-up. BTW, it seems that Capt # 26 onwards is quite interesting read.

As for 3 copies left, hmmmm.. to buy or not to buy? That would be your choice as I had urm. unfortunate incident of waiting for offer rates while pondering the same on Uncanny X-Men Omnibus.

As for my New X-Men Omnibus, I was fortunate enought to enjoy substantial discount. It seems to be on timing and luck. LOL!

HC reminds me of the special DVD collection with makings, inserts, etc. Slightly expensive but sometimes it collects all variant cover plus sketches. Worth for collectors to ponder into.

I am going to KL myself by mid of December, hopefully got time to check out Kino.

Anyway what is on my list is Elektra Omnibus coming in Feb 08.

Omnibus is kinda like HC Collected Edition except it is more issues compared to typical HC Books.

Elektra Omnibus collects Elektra Assassin # 1 - 8 which is hard to find nowadays.

BTW, do Kastam guys check out Books imported from Amazon??? Worry my Elektra kena sangkut.
