I have about 10 books in the mail right now, and every week there's more. Strange 1 & 2 all came out this week, along with UXM 4. Lots of great reprints coming out these days, it is a real avalanche. I found it surprisingly enjoyable at the time, though I haven't read it for 20 years or so. Of the ABC stuff, Promethea was definitely the real winner.įor less-loved Moore, I've always recommended his run on WildCATS, which came during the lowest point of his career. Nothing groundbreaking, more genre exercise work (superhero police stories, pulp hero adventure stories), but still a lot of fun that goes down easily. The America's Best Comics stuff is all pretty fun, including Top 10 and Tom Strong. Sold it when prices went up, and don't really miss it. I had a really nice signed hardcover slipcased set from a few years ago. It's an interesting and provocative exercise, but and nicely done, but not one of Moore's better stories, really. Lost Girls is basically fan-fiction erotica Consider it to be "the thinking person's pornography", featuring lovely artwork by Melinda Gebbie. Maybe I'll go for the single issues on that one.
I am relatively interested in Tom Strong, but there doesn't seem to be a great format to collect it. Same goes for Tomorrow Stories, and Top 10. They don't seem interesting/different enough for me. Looking at Moore's notable works, I opted to pass on Halo Jones, and Marvelman. It's near-certain that I will enjoy 7 of them, but Lost Girls seems to be quite polarizing.
So I decided to go ahead and buy a Volume 1 off eBay with the larger font, since I'm anticipating demand will stay strong for the larger font size Volumes 1 and 2 in order to match what continues to be available for now with 3 and 4. The working assumption is someone goofed up the latest printings of Volume 3 and 4. My shelf is just gonna be all over the placeīut I'm afraid it gets worse: there is a thread on the OmnibusCollectors SubReddit where they report that the newest printings of Volumes 3 and 4 have arrived sporting the older, larger font, while the newest printings of Volumes 1 and 2 come as expected with the smaller font. 2 with the smaller spine font.and who knows with the X-Mens. 1 is going to come back the same as my vol. 2-4 (2-3 just arriving yesterday).and my vol. I pre-ordered the new printings from CGN for X-Men Omnibuses v1-2 and Uncanny v1-3 (and ordered a v4, which was still in print) back in like, July.
