I don't want to post pictures of my collection online because it would allow psychos to e-stalk me.
I have a full collection of Cassandra Cain Batgirl though so that's probably my #1

for me, its Daredevil. I got definitive editions 1-6 (up to issue 129 + a few crossovers), Born Again and Man Without Fear. Still waiting for Miller's run to get reprinted here. And also a small Bullseye figure in there.
>>
I ordered a paperback copy of The Greatest Superman Stories Ever Told on Amazon and the seller shipped me Batman by mistake. I sent them a message explaining the mistake and asking if they had Superman in stock. They never responded and marked the inquiry as 'solved'.

On a related note; what are some good 'sampler' books that provide a collection of good but not necessarily related stories to showcase a character? I already owned The Greatest Batman Stories Ever Told (as well as the similar Batman: The Greatest Stories Ever Told) TPB and I quite liked how it approached the idea. Did Marvel ever do anything like that? I wouldn't mind a 'best of Spidey/Daredevil/X-Men' kind of sampler given how much history and what a wide range of tones/stories those characters have.

(also the Upcoming Omnibus/Hardcovers link in the OP seems to be outdated. Most recent activity is from 2023)

I don't think there's that many of those around.
>>
>>154564183
That's a shame.
Folio Society has a few for various heroes but I don't know how good the actual story selections are. I know DC did a couple of "[CHARACTER]: The Greatest Stories Ever Told" TPBs as well. I think I remember Marvel doing something similar when some movies released (Maybe Thor or something? Might have been a bonus in the DVD that had his first issue, some 70s stuff and some modern stuff?).
>>
I have the three Sandman omnibuses. Does that cover all of the Sandman story content? Or do any of the absolute editions have exclusive chapters? There's 7 of those things and they aren't always clear on what includes what.

classic Amazon victim. Mine said shit was delivered and It just never did. Dont know why anyone would bother stealing a 4 issue book.

Nice. I have the full original series but stopped after that

Checking wikipedia reveals the answer (I'm not going to compare all that though, you do it!)

Daredevil is my 2nd biggest collection. I just have single issues though. Here's some of them. I have a really low grade #1. I also have that Asspain cover on the bottom left.

>>154569552
Having the first issue of any comic is seriously cool, nice.

I bought a used copy of Metabarons and it smells kindof bad. Scumbag ebay seller didn't say anything about it, I messaged them, then they acknowledged me but pretended like it was never part of the book. What's your preferred method to get rid of smells in books?
>>
>>154570294
Thanks, that makes me feel a little better about the spine condition, it's really ate up. But is still attached. And it's missing an ad page that doesn't impact the story, but it still might be considered incomplete
>>
>>154571078
The colors at least look nice. I don't see any major issues on Daredevil himself, that's the most important part.
