CHESSNOID

OK, first of all, I haven’t read any comics in a couple of years. I have a ton of them in storage all bagged and boarded in comic boxes.   I read on slickdeals this morning about some Marvel comic book omnibus which are big hard cover books collecting a series of comics.  These are not collector type of books, but are usually sold retail about $100 each.  You can probably get them on ebay for $40-$60 each, but they are so heavy that shipping adds up.

This slickdeal had these omnibus books for $8.24 with free shipping.  So, I talked to my wife about them and she convinced me to get them.   I ordered  a few of them for my personal collection and wound up spending close to $150 on these books.  Some of them sold out, but if you like reading comics without paying collector prices and reading a complete storyline, these might be for you.

After the order was put in, I did feel a bit giddy.  These are big brand new books with hopefully high quality printing. I don’t think I have purchased anything in a while that made me feel this way.  These books won’t ship for another 2-3 weeks and they are coming straight from Amazon.com.

***Update:  looks like the sale is over and all the books are back to the $62 to $100 range.  The forums say this was a computer glitch so I am not sure if I will get these books.  We already reciived confirmation emails but I will let you know in a few weeks to see if Amazon honors the deal.
