Is it the full series? I think I saw that they had two omnibuses available.
they have the first omnibus of irredeemable, but all the other issues as well for 99 cents each to finish it off, then the complete incorruptible omni.

My apologies, have some straight up Doom pimpin' in compensation.
(sigh)
What the hell is going on with Sue Storm?

I think the giant 4 on her boob is quite fetching.

Aaron will probably be on the Uncanny Thor.
Man if that was anyone other than Land, larocca or Tocchini I would check out iron Man.

She is seduced by the raw sexuality of Doom.

Loved Revival #1.
Are you going to be buying it monthly?
Nah, decent books, not worth the cash. Irredeemable changes quite a bit after the eighth issue and I don't think anyone really approved. Both also had too many art changes.
Several times.
Wow Doom is badass.
Being the hottest Marvel character, that's what.
She seems to get younger and have bigger breasts each time I see her.
I should have done the rational thing and bought the initial vol 1 irredeemable digital omni and read it before deciding on the rest, so i'm going to do that now and try to read for a little until right before the sale ends.
edit: Finished the first issue and liked it, i like these kinds of books where i don't feel like it's a standard cape book....i probably made a terrible decision buying all of it but oh well. I'll have to sell another omnibus

Yes. I'm sure it would make a nice TPB read but I I know I won't be able to resist #2.

I don't understand how anyone could read Revival and not want to buy it monthly. Brah is a storytelling artist.
Irredeemable, hell yes, Incorruptible, not so much.
I just tried getting into X-Men vs Avengers starting with Marvel Point One - who are all these people? What's going on? Do I need to be up-to-date with all things Marvel to enjoy this arc?
I read too many books monthly as it is, and i don't really like reading anything monthly to begin with Xo.
The Marvel Point One anthology preview book? I don't think the majority of that had anything to do with Avengers vs. X-Men, just start at Avengers vs. X-Men #0.

Last year's point one issue that came out in november was not a jumping on point for anything. This year's is just to show that Black Fury was always black, Luke Cage is now a mutant and that brahs are Avenging shit Uncanny style.

Magneto ftw
Looks like he could reach the trapdoor if he stacked all those water-bottles up on top of each other.
That's the one, thanks I'll start with A vs X instead.

Captain Marvel #1 lost me with the second half sick friend/flashback and funeral, it also didn't really establish where the book was going, banking on it being a new captain marvel as all you need.
Also reminds me of Hal Jordan and how I'm not interested in his love of flying.

I still remember someone forming a league of evil and Magneto spotting Red Skull or Captain Nazi or whatever the fuck his name is and turning around and leaving

My New X-Men Omnibus has shipped from Amazon. I've never read it but I've heard mixed opinions. But I'm willing to try it just because Grant Morrison.

I am having trouble deciding on collected editions vs singles. Collected is much cheaper in the long run but, if I enjoy the series then I have to wait for another collected edition to release. Also $3-4 for a new single digital is outrageous. Digital is really the only way for me so which do you guys prefer?

For me personally I go with trades because they just look better on a shelf, especially hardcovers. I am tempted many times to just go buy floppies because trade waiting is agonizing but I tell myself I'll end up spending double because I'll likely want the collected edition. But if you do digital then I dunno, I guess the cheaper price might justify waiting for the collected edition.

Mixed opinions on New X-Men? That's like hearing Infinite Jest was "so so".

I pretty much have to go digital. No comic shops within 50 miles of me and if I keep buying physical ill just collect and never read them. The wait is what is gonna kill me once I start reading a series. So I just can't decide. The collector in me says singles. The realist says collected to save some green.
Do you live in the U.S.? You could start pre-ordering from dcbservice.com. Big discounts + Marvel includes digital codes with 3.99 issues = you could build a floppy fort or line hamster cages with issues of Avengers when you are done. Or sell them on ebay for money/give them to a friend. I only trade wait a few books like Unwritten, but most of the time if i love a book i want the omnibus/OHC, so buying print monthlies at a discount and selling them let's me get the story and then decide if it worth the OHC down the line instead of wasting money on 4 issue "premiere" hardcovers for $12 AFTER discount.
Looks like Jason Aaron has a couple of things coming up:
Since Hulk is ending in October (for now), what Marvel NOW! title will he snag? My guess is they put him on a title that wouldn't sell if a lesser known writer was on it. Maybe a Cosmic title?
Looks like Thor.

I'm going digital singles, but if the story is really awesome I may double dip for the trade. It takes something pretty good to do that though.

Yeah, I'll give Gillen's run a shot I think. He's great with character and the unprecedented work Fraction's done with Tony Stark's interior world will likely not go to waste.

Aaron and Ribic on Thor is awesome. Arron hulk is pretty good

Aaron/Ribic Thor, now there's a pleasant surprise. BC had Ribic on Thor, but Jason Aaron confirms a look from me.
