you know guys, it *is* possible to read collections of comics in non-omnibus form. really, you won't drop dead or anything.

I read this series for the first time a couple of months ago in two trades. It was, at first, confusing. The cover moved and swayed in my hand as I adjusted the book. Thankfully, the story distracted me from the flimsy cover I held. Seriously though, I did really enjoy the series and would highly recommend it. The omnibus format is nice, especially given the oversize pages, but I really can't imagine it being reprinted and likewise can't imagine spending so much extra money just for the format.
