Mines are just a couple of month old, so those doesn´t count, but my friend have Ironman Omnibus, which have like 2 years or so and still is in great shape.Xavicohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13635218594820077469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-58207378494283210822011-10-07T14:43:59.432-05:002011-10-07T14:43:59.432-05:00You were concerned about the binding of the New Te...You were concerned about the binding of the New Teen Titans Omnibus, I think; does the binding of the Marvel omnibuses hold up pretty well?<br /><br />I'm basing my judgment of Barnes and Noble anecdotally off my own buying habits, but I don't think Barnes and Noble wins the day by suggesting all their graphic novel sales will favor DC's competitors. The embargo isn't online, only in store, and I bet that's a tiny part of DC's business, especially as compared to Amazon.<br /><br />On the other hand, I bet Hastings is thrilled ...collectededitionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698269790653953645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-32144485045589853482011-10-07T13:16:43.267-05:002011-10-07T13:16:43.267-05:00I don't think (if true) Barnes 'n Noble...I don't think (if true) Barnes 'n Noble's move is childish. I think is a business move with an angle.<br /><br />Being the biggest bookchain in America, they have certain amount of power. By being cut from a deal they think they should be part of, they themselves will give preference to the competition and cut titles from the greedy companies, reducing distribution and profit margin. In other words...

Yeah boy!.<br /><br />Marvel is making a lot of cool Omnibuses, and quite frankly, that has made me cancel lots of DC trades in order to pay the Marvel Omnibuses. X-Men: Fatal Attractions or Absolute Identity Crisis?. I went with X-Men.<br /><br />Taking that into account... go bigger, DC!Xavicohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13635218594820077469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-53713097109672431212011-10-07T12:48:52.392-05:002011-10-07T12:48:52.392-05:00No offense to Bleeding Cool, which is a site I enj...No offense to Bleeding Cool, which is a site I enjoy, but I've yet to see a sourced article that confirms this move by Barnes and Noble, despite the report being reprinted 'round the internet. Closest I could find was this, which quotes someone from Barnes and Noble but doesn't address DC Comics specifically:<br /><br /><a href="http://cnnmoneytech.tumblr.com/post/11141640153/barnes-noble-pulls-every-graphic-novel-exclusive-to" rel="nofollow">http://cnnmoneytech.tumblr.com/post/11141640153/barnes-noble-pulls-every-graphic-novel-exclusive-to</a><br /><br />If true, I'd think it was childish on Barnes and Noble's part, a "cutting off their nose to spite their face" scenario. I'd say the graphic novels at my local Barnes and Noble are in terrible condition anyway, and full price, such that I'd sooner buy from my local comic book shop or Amazon -- so I don't know who Barnes and Noble is hurting with this other than themselves.<br /><br />On the Teen Titans Omnibus, I think it would be a wise move by DC to add more content and keep the price at $75. More than $75 begins to get unreasonable, I think, for a regular-size (not deluxe or Absolute) hardcover, and keeping the price the same while adding more content would go toward DC's attempt to be known for keeping their prices down.collectededitionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698269790653953645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-63702315619734390332011-10-07T12:36:39.475-05:002011-10-07T12:36:39.475-05:00If this Omnibus is being beefed up, does this mean...If this Omnibus is being beefed up, does this mean we can expect the price to be beefed up aswell? <br />I know theres been a lot of issues with the way DC do omnibuses, from the way they bind them, to the lack of contents pages...maybe this delay will help them improve on these issues?<br /><br />In regards to the kindle fire, did you read that Barnes and Noble are pulling 100 DC graphic novels from their stores as DC refused giving graphic novel rights to B&N's own ereader?<br /><br />Corrent me if i'm wrong, but isn't B&N the biggest bookchain in america today?

Has DC found that these omnibus series sell worse the longer they go (thus Justice League International having to switch to paperback)? Is the push to "hold the line at $2.99" extending to more economy (or bang for buck) in trades, too? And how might this affect omnibus series in process, like Flash by Geoff Johns, or those to come like Hawkman by Geoff Johns? And where's my JSA by Geoff Johns Omnibus series, anyway?collectededitionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698269790653953645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-73260859456529100292011-10-07T11:51:20.992-05:002011-10-07T11:51:20.992-05:00I suppose they're going to collect Johns' ...I suppose they're going to collect Johns' Teen Titans run in two omnibus volumes now.
