I haven't bought ASM vol.1 because I can't convince my self to buy the same stories for a 6th time. The Omnibus will have to be my definitive version for the foreseeable future. I bought FF vol.1 on a whim - I liked the cover and enjoyed the stories when I reread them recently on the FF GIT DVD. The book is so good and such a great value that I'm getting X-Men vol.1 and I am not an "old" X-Men fan. I browsed through the DVD the stories had enough exciting Kirby art for me to want to reread.

What I'm trying to say, is value and quality of this line is winning me over even to "marginal" (my opinion) material that I already have in Essential or digital format. I think I'm going to be a steady buyer for this line.
