Ultimates should have won an Eisner.
It's all dependent on gutter loss. I have it all in trade format so I need someone to take that dive first. I hear that Multiversity is pretty inexcusable in terms of how much page loss their is.
Thanks for nothing, Will Eisner.

I forget, but I know some of their annuals are MIA in trade releases. It's a bit annoying.

Omnis also take up a lot of space on shelves etc
Better to just get them in small trades or hcs
I dont mind thick complete collections long as they aint too big
No the problem is the weight and size. I like to read my comics lying on my bed or on a sofa. I like hardcovers, but omnibuses are usually just too big. 200-300 pages is ideal. 400 pages I can handle. Beyond that I would only do it for a new volume of A Song of Ice and Fire on release day.

? HCs usually take up more space than an omnibus collecting the same material.

You can use them as weight lifters. Build some muscle while your reading them.

read all my comics lying down so I never have a problem with weight, but most comics have good binding to wear the pages don't flip over.
I understand why people don't like massive volumes but yah missing out.
Omnibus is the superior collecting method.
I rather own 8 nice quality books than for example 26 hc/tpd volumes of usagi. that is just too many of one series.

Nope, that version of Nighthawk first appeared in Supreme Power, which started around 2003 or so.

Huh. Interesting colour choice then.
Should have gotten Bachalo in to colour it.
250-500 page OHCs are the absolute greatest IMO. You get the oversized art but it's not too heavy to hold. I still really enjoy the omnibus format, though. I usually just read it at my desk.
DC's omnis don't have gutter loss. They haven't in a year or two. In fact, their normal OHCs don't have gutter loss anymore either, because they've been using sewn bindings for them since the beginning of this year.
Multiversity had a little bit of gutter loss unfortunately, but it wasn't much. I'd hardly call it "inexcusable" (I know that's just what you heard and not what you're actually saying it is). Purely glued bindings are much worse than it, being a glued/sewn binding.
