By that point, I was full on into DC and bought very little Marvel. I am thinking about selling my FF Byrne omnis since it skips issues which drives me nuts.

The Spider-Man omnis are different for me since I read all the early issues through Marvel Tales while still collecting various appearances of SM and his other books at the same time. I never had a massive full run on any title because I was a kid and just could pick up stuff as I could find or afford them. The best time was when I was sick and my Dad when bring me home a handful of comics along with whatever Archie Digest was in reach.

Pretty shocking price if you've been following recent omnibus pricing by Marvel. Buy them ASAP, as IST often pulls them from sale once a certain number have been sold. You need $50 for free shipping.

And I'd be remiss not to mention the jaw-dropping $33 price on the 1982 DC Comics Style Guide hardcover featuring Jose Luis Garcia Lopez. I happily paid $66 for it just a few months ago and it's a beauty, unlikely to ever get reprinted from what I understand. A shame it doesn't seem to have been a huge seller.

I was tempted to get the CrossGen omnibus at $50 but they suddenly bumped it up to $60 this weekend. Still a good deal but not quite as screaming.
