Omnibus speculation?

[ilzuccone]

I'm looking at the valiant deluxe editions. They look great. But I'm thinking an omnibus would be even better. Any rumors or thoughts on what will and won't be collected as omnibuses?

[Phoenix8008]

Haven't heard anything about the possibility.

Bummer! I'm not in any rush. I'll wait patiently.

[BugsySig]

Well the Quantum & Woody Omnibus is coming out in the fall and they said they'd be open to doing future omnibus editions, but those would likely be for VH1 only.

That's what I've been thinking. seems like these VEI runs are to short for an omnibus collection.

Whats the diffrence between a Omnibus and Hardcover

I think an Omnibus is more like a complete series in one volume or it is more than 12 issues like a HC.

yeah omni bus will span multiple story arcs. usually 800+ pages.

At the panel today Atom mentioned an X-O(vh1)omnibus in the works

I probably can't afford to collect these massive omnibuses, but it's very cool that they're doing it for XO now.

That makes sense since VEI did those hardcovers a few years back of the first 6 issues or so of VH1 XO, Harby and A&A. This is a way to reprint and collect those series again without duplicating what they've already done (and many have already purchased) with a Valiant Masters volume. It would also be awkward to just print a Volume 2 of those series in a Masters collection. I'd guess Harby and A&A would come after XO.

Better wear a back brace lifting that puppy up!

Now I can't decide if I want to bind my X-O run or just buy the Omnibus. Probably will take 3 HC's to do the job at $30.00 bucks a piece. May be cheaper than the Omnibus, plus I get them out of a long box and onto my bookshelf. Binding it is!

binding is a great way to go. I don't have a complete run (yet) for binding so i'll be getting these omnibuses.

Sounds like VEI has omnibus on the brain.

just remember guys, the plural of omnibus is omnibi, not "omnibuses".

[ilzuccone]

just remember guys, the plural of omnibus is omnibi, not "omnibuses".

remember to google it before you correct it!

Arguably not quite so...

Me? I am not a Latin reader, but will be going with 'omnibuses', the evidence seems a little stronger to support that one, plus I hate the sound of the word 'omnibi'.

I hate the sound of omnibi also but you are talking to the guy that says Main-guh instead of Mon-ga to *SQUEE* off all the manga fans (and my wife)

with our forces combined we could... take over.. meh google more stuff.

[lorddunlow]

You're all wrong. The plural of omnibus is omnimatrix.


...wait. No. That's when you want the omnibus to spank you hard.

Ne'ermind

[ilzuccone]

well i would like that also. so omnimatrix it is.

I stick with the 11 O'Clock Comics pronunciation of "omniboo".
