This is not very glossy at all!!!Not kidding, but here I'm not talking specifically about the Iron Man and X-Force Omnis, since I don't have them around for comparison. But, the 2012 Omnis like Secret Warriors and OHCs like Bendis Avengers Assemble had paper that was super-shiny compared to the older paper. The finish is much more gloss and less matte. While the gloss does provide an illusion of it being premium, I just find it to be a distraction when viewing comic art.I'll admit, I'm a nerd about print production, so I could be the only person on the planet who is annoyed by this. Yet, there's a whole world of paper choices out there. It's puzzling to me that if Marvel wanted to go thinner they would not pick a more ideal paper for the action. (Although, in fairness, the thin paper they chose does hold black ink really well, which is certainly a major feature in its favor.)
