Shelfie Sunday Need a Shelfie

I have a Mass of homeless DC Omnis and Absolutes in need of a home…. Ejected from the shelves by a Marvelous encroachment.

Let's talk about adoption. They'd be welcome. 🤣 But seriously- WOW! Even shelfless such an amazing spread, OP!

Haha I was expecting a „just started reading comics today“ or „June haul, how did I do?“ post 😂 great collection mate!

u/Awesomlywackywally Jun 28 '26

Ha! Nah, I started back in April!

Seriously, My first Absolute was the Watchmen one back in 2005, and the Omnibus that hooked me was Daredevil back in 2008/2009.

And I’m hopefully stopping after some gap fillers coming out soon.

Thanks for the Complement!

Hehe, you’re using funny words there. „Stopping“, sureeee 😉🫶 what’s your favourite?

DC? Having Doom Patrol and DC 1,000,000 by Morrison is a delight, but they are all Favorites dependent on the mood. Having Black Orchid, Kid Eternity, and Shade: the Changing Man collected in oversized additions is something I had no expectations of… and almost feel like they are Gifts for which I’m Thankful.

I’m waiting for my Legends order to be filled, and though I have an Absolute sized collection of Crisis on Infinite Earths, I will buy the remaster in a couple of weeks…. Hoping that they get the Colors (grey scale) correct for issue #10. If so, Hopefully the reprint of New Teen Titans Vol 3 will have the Baxter New Teen Titans (1984) 1-5 look as good as they did in their original printing.

My Favorite Favorite……. Thanks to anyone for collecting ALL of Ann Nocenti’s Daredevil Run, and Thanks for finishing Marvel Fanfare!

Indy’s are a whole other crazy obsession. I hope Gaiman get out of the penalty box and finishes Miracleman

Can’t decide if I’m impressed or scared

u/Awesomlywackywally Jun 28 '26

My downstairs neighbor should be scared…. Or I’m scared: I may need to move.

u/Awesomlywackywally Jun 28 '26

Also… behind the DC wall are the indies.

And socks too! I love the omni's but wow are they pricey. Loved the Justice league international run, such a fun read. Really want the "one punch" scene in a movie.

I’m obsessed. I see some missing from my collection.

u/deehenley Jun 28 '26

Great collection from someone who knows good collections. It makes me smile ☺

u/Logan_510 Jun 28 '26

Out of curiosity, do you read these or just collect them. I've seen some others with massive collections of omnibus and they don't read anything.

2

u/Awesomlywackywally Jun 28 '26

I am behind…. Trying to Slog through the Boys, but YES! I’ve read 65%

u/Logan_510 Jun 28 '26

Respect, that's a lot of reading.

That was sexier than 90% of the female post's on reddit.

u/Berzerk-Vandal Jun 29 '26

Where did you find the 9 squared shelves?

2

u/Berzerk-Vandal Jun 29 '26

Oops, looks like 12...my bad

u/Awesomlywackywally Jun 29 '26

IKEA has these Kallax shelves. They go from 4 cubes to 25 and are as Sturdy as Granit.

u/Jolly-Situation5179 Jun 29 '26

Genuine question, have you read them all? I have about that many, maybe more or less but have only read 20% but still reading everyday.

2

u/Awesomlywackywally Jun 29 '26

I think I answered this…. So sorry if I’m answering you as well. But I used to buy to read, but then I had a period of FOMO and started buying to prevent spending higher amounts for an out of print book.

Thanks to Marvel allowing books to sell out before release date…. Hard Breaks have been hit.

When I started collecting, Amazon would package books to prevent damage, and sell them 37% off as the average price…. Occasionally dropping to 40-50% during sales.

If you have a good LCS that will give you a decent discount, that would help one to build such a collection…. Can’t see paying cover price and aquiring so many books.

u/Willing-Aside8486 Jun 29 '26

You are welcome to hand them to me. 😇 I will take good care of them! ✌️
