And.... it makes a 1000 page book like the Iron Man Omnibus really comfortable to read. It's amazing a book with so many pages can feel so light.So, yes, I love the new paper, and if some of the heavier omnibus I already own would be reprinted in this new thinner paper, I might purchase them again (I am thinking abouth that mammoth, Simonson's thor, for example).Your thoughts?ABSOLUTELY!!! I've been reading the IM Omnibus the last few days and have really noticed how nice it is!!! I now understand why those who say the colors look like they sit on top of the paper or look gaudy in the MM and Omnibus because they now look extremely absorbed by the paper as if they are part of the paper!!! It reminds me of the first print FF and UXM Omnibus!!!

I think the reason there is more notice is what someone else said about Layton using more negative space!!!Also, one other thing I noticed. In the last year or so I noticed that the ink on the other paper has left a spot here and there where the ink did not stick to the paper. It has been happening more and more frequently!!! I have not seen one incidence of this in 220 some pages with this new paper!!!I love this new paper!!!

It's like saying the Thing looks slimmer because one pebble fell off his hide. Regardless. Thicker paper all the way. And bring back the old cover style. This new stuff is not cool.

My name is Oedi and I soar amidst the stars far from the planet of my birth. I guess this starship is the closest thing I've got to a home now, for I am a refugee and an outlaw. Vanth Dreadstar, Syzygy Darklock, Willow 327, Rainbow and Skeevo are my family. We are revolutionaries. Our goal? To bring an end to the 200 year old war between the Instrumentality and the Monarchy!
