I started with Essentials years ago, I have them all but do have stopping points with some of them. Essential Fantastic Four once it reaches the Byrne Omnibus. Daredevil when it reaches the Frank Miller Omnibus, Thor when it reaches the Walt Simonson Omnibus.

I love OHC and get anything Avengers, Hulk, X-Men and event books, Civil War, House of M, Annhilation.

TPB’s make up a big part of my collection, Invaders Classic, What If Classic, these I will not upgrade to OHC or Omnibus; I have them and feel no need to “double dip” I also try to stay withing format on these for instance the Invaders Classic are followed by the Torch and will have the Invaders Now TPB added to it. I also have the Exiles Ultimate Collection and the Complete Clone Wars and will start getting the Ben Reilly books.

I only have a couple Premiere HC’s, I don’t like the price or the size but decided that if I wanted Guardians of the Galaxy and Agents of Atlas that I was going to have to break down and get them in this format. I also purchased Death of Captain Marvel, Rebirth of Thanos and Infinity Gauntlet in this smaller format. Again these were exceptions to the rule.

Masterworks are just too expensive although I have been thinking about getting the Silver Age stuff, maybe the soft cover Masterworks will work, still holding off.

I only buy Marvel; there were a couple exceptions, Absolute Crisis and Absolute Avengers vs. Justice League. I recently saw a Teen Titans Omnibus and DC vs. Marvel Omnibus so I may get these.

I have several Omnibus that I purchased on sale.
