Did you know who the last ronin was before going in?

Sadly, yeah. Not too big of a spoiler though as it is revealed pretty early on.

Spoiler

Had I not known I would have pegged it as being Raph.

I didn’t know and managed to guess it. Can’t pull a fast one on me!

2/3 of Decembers big releases for me have been put online for sale early so that's helpful. Should be a quieter month.

I'm going to be breaking glass in case of emergency on Watchmen because I'm well behind with the yearly reading quota and need something quick and dirty to get through.

Latest Omniboo purchases. Probably just one more later this month when Spider-Man Clone Saga vol.1 is released. I wasn't originally gonna get Thor by JMS & Gillen but Marvel snuck the Siege event into it so I felt like I should.

After watching a review of the Thor omnibus and realising that its possible to get an unbroken run of Thor from the 90s to present day I may have gone and bought the others I needed that are still in print. Just one left from the 90s that will hopefully get reprinted one day and I'm sorted.

And there we go, last book for Jan. I think my next scheduled omnibus releases are 27th Feb so that'll give me a month of savings and a bit of time to try and catch up on all these books.

Loved the Clone Saga storyline. Did they ever bring Ben back?

Yeah they did. He was Spider-Man again for a bit while Peter was injured then once again they screwed him over so he's currently evil.

Doesn't he turn into slime in the end?

It's looking like the Avengers vs X-Men omnibus could be starting to go out of print so I decided to pull the trigger on it while there's a lull in book releases. Probably my biggest omnibus at 1680 pages.

@Hero-of-Time you ever read much of Wolverine's solo books? Just been debating trying his Omni's.

Yeah, used to read his comic run in the 90's. I remember it being pretty good.

Hmmm, I might have to give them a try then.

Decided not to go with Wolverine and instead start filling my earlier Uncanny X-Men gaps. I should only need volumes 1-4 as after that the stories are mostly collected in event omnis I already own like Mutant Massacre so volume 5 onwards would just be double dipping for me. Only vol 3 in print at the moment but I'm sure it won't take long for re-releases of the rest again.

I bow to your superior knowledge in these things, but I did pick up an issue or two of Uncanny X-Men a dozen plus years ago and it was like an alternate reality or something. Wasn't like the cartoon as I'd hoped.

Yeah they've had a long history with quite a few alternate realities thrown in there. There was a comic series though which was just a continuation of the animated series. It got an omnibus release a few months ago.

I didn't realise they made an omnibus version. I may have to check it out.

Ah, that's not the series I was thinking about. I thought you were talking about X-Men 92. 

Ah ok yeah. That one does have an "omnibus" as well but it's one of those fake paperback Panini ones that they like to call omnibus'.

Yeah, just looked at it on Amazon. I may pick it up. It's cheap enough and the series seems to have ended with the 10 main issues and a mini series, so there's no worries about having to pick up more volumes.
