37 issues, I already have issue 1. Yeah, it would be like sub $36, but I could probably get a digital code on release day of the Omnibus for like $15.
Also, pickups!!!

It's really only 35 since 5.1 was a prelude to the Father/World storyline that never panned out in UXF and the other .1 is a stealth first issue to that Age of Apocalypse comic.

Does it have Ultimate Six in the Omni as well? IMO that's required reading in the USM canon.
Other Ultimate stuff nobody ever talks about : the Warren Ellis Gah Lak Tus series was great - 3 trades, one story, bunch of cool shit in it. Some of the side stuff in Ultimates was the best it got IMO. Even Ultimate Iron Man was pretty cool, and they pretended that never happened. Ultimate Doom was a great story too, lead right into Hickman's Ultimates.
If I were new to comics and wanted something cool, I would find an Ultimate Universe chronology and just work through that shit. Loads of great stuff. Even Millar's Ultimates rocked. Just scoff derisively at anything Loeb did and you'll be fine.

As someone who thought for a while that Hunger/Cataclysm actually would put the line out of its misery... I don't think that's actually true. It's just that Marvel hasn't learned the definition of madness, given that this is exactly the same formula they used for the 2009 and 2011 relaunches: kill off characters to create "exciting" new status quo, relaunch books, watch sales on most of them slip to cancellation numbers, repeat.
I think they're ashamed to admit that, Miles Morales aside, the Ultimate Universe has simply long outlived its relevance and most of its creative rationale for its own existence. But there shouldn't be any shame in that.

Do Omnis come with digital codes? None of mine have them but they are a bit older (Hickman FF, Fraction Iron Man, Secret Warriors).
Did you read Gotham City Sirens?
If not you should really check it out, especially the issues Paul Dini wrote at the beginning of its run. It's right up your alley.

Oh yea, Sirens was great

Oh that Daredevil is big. Want.
Plus points for Y
I read all of Sirens. It was great. I want a team up in harley.
Nightcrawler is going to come back to life again and then die the next issue.

Brandon Graham and Robin McConnell Inkstuds Kickstarter
Brandon Graham and his buddy, Inkstuds podcast host Robin McConnell, just launched a Kickstarter to do a big road tripping, interview/sketch-paolooza in LA this summer. If you are a Brandon Graham fan, get your ass in here quick for signed/sketched-in Brandon goodness! You can get deluxe sketches, exclusive merch, sketched-on books or postcards or what-have-you. Some stuff is limited so checking it sooner than later would be my recommendation.

Actually I think you are right that they don't. Off to ComiXology then!
Awesome. Thanks.

You won't be sorry. Uncanny X-Force is amazingly good comics.

Hey Comics-GAF, we're all friends here, even those people who read DC books, so i'm giving away my Loki #1 digital code because i don't think i'll continue buying it monthly even though it was enjoyable. All i ask is that you like comics and that you agree with me on everything i've ever said here. Quote this post and every post you've ever made that aligns with my thoughts and you get the code.
You hate dc. That means you hate her... Shit. We could have been friends.
There's a good chance i'm going to get the Harley trade if the next few issues get nice reviews.

It'll be 2017's hottest trade.
Does anybody know, what the name of those Spider-Man/X-Men Miniseries from some years ago was?
It was a story about different points of the Marvel History and involved Kraven, Mr. Sinister, Ben Reilly and some kind of strange Kraven clone.
I read it a couple of years ago and loved it so much. I really want to buy it again.

AMEN brother.
Ah, great. Thank you
I'm pretty into the big floppy hat on A but I'm not sure who else they could use the sailor motif for.

AvX was... well.... not quite as bad as Ultimatum. It had a few decent parts before it jumped the shark. I'd go with #'s 1, 2, and 4 on your list. Start with the X-Statix, IMO.
I like the direction they are going in for this one. It fits better than some of the others.

I don't think there's much point in the sailor-STOP SWITCHING YOUR AVATAR EVERY DAY!... XD
The sailor hat doesn't look right unless you also have tghe pants, and I think the swimsuit and floppy hat works much better. She does belong in the water after all.

I was half-joking, but srsly. Just wait until you find one you really like.
I like them all. Wait your avatar is different. People in glass houses my friend...

This is the greatest batman panel in the last 5 years. You can not convince me it's not. JL8 should be an actual DC thing. I burst out laughing at work

I voted A. I guess I like the beach style better than the sailor theme. Might actually pick this up. I'm a huge Aquaman fan (well, since the N52, haven't gone read the older stuff) and I think Mera's rad.

Switch every day Messi. Every day.
X-Statix!
Well, if I were you, I'd read Infinity first since it's the shortest and people are still talking about it a bit, so it'd be good to join the conversation I guess. But then after that, definitely X-Statix.

Well I'm thinking of putting together an instocktrades purchase. Need some opinions though. Somethings I'm thinking about picking up:
Blankets - Don't know anything about it, heard it's good. Might be a good switch after reading superhero books and my Planetary Omni.
Zero - Again, don't know anything. I generally like spy stuff and I saw that it was at 50% off so I figure it's worth a look maybe?
Morrison's Batman run - Well, the start of it. Probably the first 3 trades through Batman RIP.
Fatale Vol 3 & 4 - Loved 1&2, but my copies are down in GA with most of my collection and I just don't think I'll remember what was going on.
Powergirl - Again, no clue but it looks fun.
Johns GL run - Read Blackest Night and now I"m going back. Just finished Rebirth.
Anyone else have any suggestions or opinions on the books I don't really know about? I mostly read DC and Image, but I'm always up to looking into Marvel if someone can point me to the god-tier level comics are.

-Blankets was good, but I prefer his more recent book, Habibi.
-Powergirl is great. Do it.
-I liked Fatale a lot at the beginning, but my interest in it has waned recently. I still liked it as far as the content in volume 3 goes. I think volume 4 would be where the book started to flounder.
If you're open to suggestions, I'd definitely recommend I Kill Giants if you have yet to read it.
