How have you been mate? Been a while.🙂

These unwrapped Final Crisis and Blackest Night omnis are about to get STRETCHED lol

Yup. That's exactly how I do it as well. However, i go page by page...lol. great video!

Just did this with my first omni, Batman by Snyder and Cappulo. Came out beautifully.

This may be a nightmare for the immortal hulk omnibus

Very helpful video as many of my recent eyes are pretty flat even after stretching the spine. So just leaving a comment to help people notice this video! Great stuff.

Do you need to do this for Deluxe edition hardcovers like the Justice Deluxe edition?

I have been working on ''X-Mas" ( dc comic) can I do it?? but now I fell into yet another DC comic instead of Marvel indies #Thanks

I did It to marvel only step 1 so yeah love you man no homo doe you have discord or maybe TikTok ?

Do i need to do this every time I open the book?

This was the best video I've found so far as a new reader. The new books I've bought and the few used ones had next to no eye. I had done the flipping the pages from the front and back leading to the middle on all of them several times and didn't see much improvement in opening the eye, though it did help with stiffness. The big key was when you pinched the pages front to back from the middle and open and closed the book slowly, this really made the eye come through and got rid of almost all of my gutter loss, not to mention making the books more comfortable to read since I could lay them completely flat. Thank you

We need the return of Comicbound.😁

Was this uncomfortable to read?

HVe you got any tips for looking after omnibus and collected editions as in how to store them properly to avoid unnecessary damage

I only just discovered Scott Mccloud and can't believe I haven't before!! The best possible person you can learn from is somebody who know in every way exactly what he's talking about! Plus, his own work is just amazing.

What's the difference between this version and the version that doesn't have the writing review on the top right of this book?

So the binding is sewn on the top and glued on the bottom? The boys omnibus is the same wtf are they doing to the binding of books now?

Does the hardcover have all of the comics into one?

Loved this series, bought the omnibus a year ago and have not regretted it

Great video Adam, great to have you back uploading 😊

Definitely been wanting to give this a read! Great overview 👏👏👏

This is fantastic mate! works so well.. Just got a used first printing of Scott Snyders Batman omnibus 1, few minutes already massive improvements.

Very rough and very quick is good enough. Need more Comic Bound on youtube so more videos please. That binding is atrocious. You going to return that? The glue seeping through is rough AF.

interesting, thanks for showing this

Good to see you back mate :) really excited to pick up this book, but good heads up on the binding! Big love mate!

Got mine today, looks exactly the same binding issue. It’s really tight and creeks when you open it. Maybe too much glue?

I saw the same binding in Boys omnibus, maybe it is a new better standard ;-)

Thanks for the overview on this Adam, ive been on the fence about this for a while mainly due to the size but you've cleared that up for me 😁👍 shame about the binding though, ill be looking out for this when i get my copy 🤔

Great to see some new content, missed seeing you pop up in my feed.😄. Can you jump right into the Last Ronin if you've only watched the TMNT animated series?( which is a awesome show). Haven't seen anyone do a overview for the Last Ronin but will share it around on the omnibus group.👍 Hope you are doing well Adam.🙂

Been a while but it’s nice to see you take to time to give us a look at the book it’s one I’m definitely picking up I think it will go nice with my TMNT hardcovers but hopefully the binding will be better and not on the whole production run

Thank you! This worked *wonderfully* on my copy of Lucifer.

Not too crazy about this storyline, though love the art style & coloring, it,s just being a bit of a purest, don,t like Dick Grayson being Batman. Didn't like it in the Knightfall storyline either, love Damian Wayne being another Robin though, go figure, eh? Only recently have come to actually like the Jean Paul Valley Batman replacement in Knightfall, love it now, hated it in the day. Suppose I know now how Robin purists may,ve felt about Jason Todd being the new Robin in early eighties. Jason & Jean Paul were fine though for me only Bruce Wayne can be Batman to me. ( At Marvel have only recently have come to accept that Tony doesn't HAVE to be the only Iron Man.).

Awesome video

Great stream, Adam! Something diff from others where they do their top reads/books/favs...2021 was probably the year i went crazy as far hauls go (fomo), so no way i can do a top 5. More like a top 100 for me n most of it is still wrapped. This year with every big publisher doing reprints esp marvel, im checking my bank balance on a daily basis! Peace n love, cheers mate!

I miss all of you guys! Great stream Adam :D

Scalped was an amazing series

Great stream, I enjoyed the topic and the tangents! More please!

I think your first live went well Adam. I think It was a great one. Hopefully you do more videos soon. Thanks mate.👍

"It stinks, I don't like it" get your act together DC!

Finally got Vol 2 for Christmas, so started reading vol 1, has one ever had upside down pages in their omnibus? I noticed mine towards the end of #5 after the horizontal pages

Nice Chanel👍🖐

My copy is fine.

Great review, glad I found your channel!

Thanks for the review. Is it bigger than a dc absolute?

I've only been into omnis for about a year and a half. In that time, I've collected about 30 of them. For the MOST part, they've held up very well and I'm more than satisfied with the quality and build. However, I do have a couple that have binding issues (Secret Invasion by Bendis & The New X-Men by Morrison, if anyone wants to compare notes). Specifically, the eye is not really arch-shaped anymore. When opened, it forms more of a triangle, as if the eye has creases in it. Also, the ribbon has started to come apart from the block on both of these books. It's not that bad yet, but I have very low expectations that they will remain intact over time. My question is this: Why is the larger eye desirable? Is it ONLY to avoid gutter loss? Because if that's the case, I think I'd prefer to have the bindings that are "squarish" and less flexible, with very little eye.. It just seems that, with my admittedly small amount of experience, the smaller, more rigid eye has a greater chance of maintaining it's integrity than the looser, larger eye variety. Any thoughts on the subject, from any of you, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the video! That's one of the most informative (and courageous!) omnibus spine stretching videos I've seen. I am relatively new to the omnibus scene. I've only been purchasing them for about a year and a half. My question is this: Why exactly is it desirable to have a larger eye for your omnis? Is it ONLY to prevent gutter-loss? Because if that's the only reason, I think I'd prefer to have LESS of an eye in mine. I have about 30 omnis now. I'd say about half of them have a fairly large, open, flexible eye, and the other half have pretty "squarish", blocky types of eyes, similar to the eye in the beginning of this video.. I have had a couple of my omnis begin to have problems, and it seems like it only happens to the books that have the largest, most flexible eyes. It sort of seems like the larger the eye, the more likely it is that the spine will have problems, such as the ribbon becoming detached from the block (which I know is also a fixable condition, but I'd rather not have to). Another problem I've had is where the eye doesn't really form a nice "arc". Rather, it seems to form a crease or a crack and kind of seems more like a triangle than an arc.. From my, admittedly limited, experience it just seems like the books with lesser eyes, or almost NO eyes at all, don't develop these problems. I was just wondering what your thoughts on this are. Of course, anyone else who'd like to chime in with their two cents are also welcome. I'd love to hear from anyone who has an opinion about it.

I’m still baffled that they choose that cover but I’m at least happy the book came out I was sure it was going to get canceled

Where did you buy this? Has the release date been moved to 2022?

Can you do this with smaller hard covers? I have thisAvengers Red Zone hardcover I recently bogught(its roughly 69 pages and the size of a normal comic)and it looks like the eye is glued to the spine but Im not sure if its supposed to be like that or not Im also trying to do this on a Batman hard cover, and the eye is opening at the bottom more than the top
