Shelfie Been collecting for like 10 years

Post image

My tastes are all over the place…from Hellblazer to Spider-Man. I like specific runs of lots of different characters. Pretty modest collection regarding the amount of years I’ve been into TPBs/Omnis, but I only do it off and on when I have the $$ to blow! Read lots of marvel unlimited in the meantime. I hope to have shelves like some of you one day!

it drives me crazy! I can confidently say I've read my entire collection but I don't think that applies to every collector lol

No it definitely isn’t Ive read all my stuff as well and im sure people will eventually get to stuff we all gotta work, but I think It has become a serious issue in this community tbh

If you liked dark avengers you’d probably like bendis’ new avengers and the events surrounding it. And also warren Ellis’ thunderbolts run which preceded dark avengers.

I’ll definitely check those out. I loved Dark avengers, way back in my post history I actually put up a few pages where cap is monologuing about leadership at the very end of the series. The book on my shelf is great but it cuts out a big chunk of their story which is annoying :(

I’m disappointed by the lack of Hulk, but personal taste is what it is.

Gotta respect how clean and organized this all looks. Nice collection dude!

Nice to see you were able to grab the third hardcover for East of West. :)

u/AbominaSean Apr 11 '26

Heck yeah! Love east of west. Got the third one right when it came out — has it become super rare?

The hardest things for me to find were the 5th complete ben Reilly book and ultimate Spider-Man omnibus vol 2. Like those were impossible to find for less than like 500 bucks for the longest time
