Re: The Upcoming Omnibus Release Thread

A couple of weeks back, Hamilton Book sent out an email plugging some upcoming Omnibus editions to their inventory, and it looks like most went up with this week’s new items. I find some of their Omnibus pricing is way too close to retail pricing elsewhere, but many of these new arrivals are priced in the $35 - $65 range (with some still upwards of $90+), which feels more appropriate considering the nature of their business:

Not bad pricing but a newer seller on eBay is carrying many of the same omnibuses for cheaper. Funaticals is a charity out of California who picked up a ton of Marvel stock leftover from Diamond and is selling the overstock at rock-bottom prices. There is no real catch using them as I've ordered like 10 omnibuses from them and received everything in new condition. Some of the prices almost feel like stealing.

Oh I had no idea they were a charity or what the story behind them was (I just knew they were getting stuff dirt cheap). Cool.

I think their stock is coming to an end soon, at least on the omnibus side though.

Supposedly they were the center of heated arguments at Marvel's last retailer meeting - sellers complained Funaticals was selling at prices they couldn't hope to match. I think Funaticals is practically selling omnibuses near their actual cost, somewhat similar to Ollie's.

Bronze Age Batman is my next must-buy omni. I bought the Silver Age one but they haven't continued, unfortunately.

I think they'll eventually continue the Batman and Superman Silver Age omnibuses but I hear they aren't huge sellers in the first place. They seemed more committed to the Golden Age stuff I think because of the looming copyright expirations. Maybe when the next Batman or Superman movie launches.

They are practically at the point of releasing every Wonder Woman comic in omnibus form through the '80s. Someone running DC must love the character because her Silver Age omnibuses aren't big sellers either.

They just announced Superman Silver Age Vol 2, I suspect Batman Silver Age 2 will now likely come in 2027.

DC spent a lot on the Bronze Age Batman restorations, hence why we're getting both an omnibus and Absolute versions. They want classic Batman collectors focused all on that Bronze Age volume for the moment.

And Silver Age Batman Vol 2 has just been announced for December. Might get pushed back into January but it's on the schedule.
