The Chronicles series are very nice. As was the DC Classics Library but they were very overpriced, though the Perez JLAs were worth it!

Also happy to learn that IDW are reprinting the Superman Sunday strips - I've got the Sterling books from a few years back and I've been waiting for another publisher to pick up the baton.

I guess DC must not know they own that character!

I'm still waiting on the third Lee/Kirby FF omnibus. It's been so long
since the second volume came out that I don't remember how long it's
been since it's release.

I haven't bought any of the Marvel Omnibus collections yet, but that Roger Stern book is tempting. Best Spider-Man since Lee/Romita...so I guess the trick is making sure you've got at least one Romita working on your Spider-Man comic.
My only minor gripe is that I'd like this to have all of Stern's Spider-Man, including the great Hobgoblin Lives! mini-series, its follow-up story Goblins at the Gate, and the other handful of stories he's written, which I think includes an annual or two from the 1990s, some of the Untold Tales of Spider-Man comics, and a recent Amazing Spider-Man two-parter featuring the Juggernaut and Captain Universe. Although that's a good start to Volume Two, if they'll just let him write another year or two of Spider-Man comics.

I don't mean to sound dumb or jerky but how do you read something as heavy as the omnibuses?!? I'm assuming you don't lean back in bed or a comfy chair--you must hunch over it on a strong table! : )
I love the softcover Masterworks! That's just the right format for me, and I wish DC would follow suit (or at least step up their Silver Age Chronicles books!)

Bed for me too - I sit cross-legged with the book open in front of me. Once I've recovered from the hernia from getting it off the shelf, that is.
I love the omnibus format (I've only got three - two ASMs and a Daredevil - but that's down to budgetary issues). There's something really satisfying about working through a book that size. Closing the back cover feels like closing a chapter in your life! It's so absorbing.

I do plenty of window shopping, Bill, not to mention much drooling and rending of garments at all the lovely books I can't justify spending money on at the moment! I have to be very selective. Oh, the pain of it all.

Me too! But the omnibus`s come along so infrequently i can usually pre-order them at no charge,then save up to buy them.I think the forthcoming vol 2 of JB and Chris Claremont`s Uncanny X-Men will be my last,though,as i can`t think of any titles/runs remaining that i like enough to buy an omnibus version...unless Marvel can convince me otherwise!

I would love to get another Spider-Man Omnibus volume! And Avengers! We never got volume 2! They did put out two volumes of West Coast Avengers oddly.
