5.0 out of 5 stars Stan Lee is a visionary, August 4, 2009

This review is from: Iron Man Omnibus, Vol. 1 (Hardcover)

I thought these older beginning collections might be old dated and boring, but I was wrong! Stan Lee is a brilliant writer and I've absolutely enjoyed these omnibus editions more than I would've guessed! These Stan Lee scripted foundations of the marvel universe may have been the best written of any comics that followed in some ways, with Stan constantly inventing and innovating.

Please, Marvel release full runs of all the classic series in omnibus form, they are fantastic.

My only concern with Marvel Omnibus editions is the binding, although the main series like Iron Man, Spider Man, Hulk and FF seem strong and the glue holds, others like Tomb of Dracula have bindings coming unglued. I am constantly checking the binding and the Secret Wars II has some bits also coming loose. If Marvel gets the binding quality up these are amazing books to own and I love them and hope for a large collection of runs with these. Highly recommended to comics/ Marvel lovahz

4.0 out of 5 stars Great way to read old Marvel, July 15, 2009

By	Shasta (New York) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Iron Man Omnibus, Vol. 1 (Hardcover)

I'm in my mid 20s so I obviously never got to read these stories as they came out. I love the stories marvel has been producing in recent years but have a great interest in reading the earlier issues.

Marvel Omnibus is definately the way to go. This Iron Man book looks beautiful, the colors are vibrant and the pages are much larger than your average comic, giving you an awesome reading experience.

Yes, even with the amazon discounted price, 62.99 is a hefty price to pay for a book. However, the content is excellent, much more fun to read than I originally would've thought, and it's way cheaper than buying the previously released marvel masterworks which I believe retail for $50 a piece and only give you maybe a 1/3 of what's in this massive book.

I will definately be getting Marvel Omnibus' (or is it Omnibi, I dunno) of all my favorite marvel characters if they keep producing them at this quality.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth It's Weight, August 15, 2009

By	W. Rosen "chickendog" (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Iron Man Omnibus, Vol. 1 (Hardcover)

The Iron Man omnibus is more than worth it's weight as it reproduces a large number of issues in a glorious hardcover book. The production value is high and at the price it's quite a bargain. Grab a copy before it goes out of print.
