There's a new Coda starting in September with a #1. That's disappointing to hear about not having all the extras though.

[@jearl75290]

I was sold on it by the creative team alone.

[@jonnyneverland5276]

Shouldn’t a deluxe HC have MORE extras than the TPBs? 🤨

[@vincentimbesi3947]

BOOM has some good books but their deluxe editions can be hit or miss with what they contain. 🫤

[@12ty12]

Omar kept talking about this book so I jumped online and got issue 1. I’m a trade waiter and could not wait for this. Just finished it and it delivered. I have a new artist and writer to look out for as this was my first comic for both. Thank you Omar this is Top 15 storey of all time for me.

[@beastlaz]

Never read it but just bought the deluxe edition and vol 1 of the paperback (for the maps), I find myself buying more and more Boom studios books

[@coyley72]

Don't forget Si Spurrier started with 2000AD writing awesome stories like Judge Dredd, Bec & Kawl and Lobster Random. So looking forward to reading CODA 😎

[@Jackfromshack]

He also wrote one of the best (IMO) books in WH40K universe - Lord of the Night

[@James-ip7zk]

One of my favorite stories, I love the work of Spurrier and Bergara. Unpopular opinion: Bergara should re-draw Spurrier’s ”The Spire”.

[@IanTarakey]

I can understand not including alternative cover art, sketches etc but not including the maps of a high fantasy series is completely unacceptable. Are you reading this Boom? Thanks for sharing Omar.

[@ReaperXC]

I've read the first issue twice and haven't been able to get into it. Happy for others.

[@JoeLovesComics]

So excited to get this! Great overview.

[@UncleSteve94]

This is a must! Thanks for the overview Omar 🤝🏻

[@thegeneroca]

Picking this up tomorrow. Cant wait

[@JoshuaBatJoshHayes]

Gosh darn it man. You got me on another one!!!!

[@Avarn388]

I will probably give it the three issue rule(that's my stance for any new comic). The book looks gorgeous and the artwork is amazing. But if you're really saying this story takes its time then I'll give it three issues. Great work as always, Omar.

[@JoshuaBatJoshHayes]

It depends on what you're looking for in those three issues. Sometimes a sense of satisfaction with a story can mean different things depending on the type of story

[@OmniBeau]

I bought this literally only cos of how u spoke about it. Looks great

[@marianamart86]

One of my favorites

[@Rodimusprimerib]

Well will need to get this.

[@Untitledfoundtape]

i really hope this beauty get more love, but mannn the mapsss, they would be great end sheets :/

[@fireboy312002]

I am so glad OmniDog convinced me to pick this up.

[@TrillyThough]

I want this, but am gun shy after hearing Boom's OHC QC is questionable.

[@ChristopherLono]

When a TPB has more stuff than a premium edition I really wish for some consistency with different books. Universaly used dimensions guided by market rules that they need to follow: A) TPBs should be just a collection of 4-16 issues (every comic book gets this treatment). Annotated TPB is a special b&w ed. B) HCs would be exactly the same with 4-16 issues in a hardcover (nominal price increase). Artist HC is a special b&w ed. C) Then there is the DLX version that has 4-16 issues in oversized format with a dust jacket and includes variant covers, design sketches, promo pin-ups. Reserved only for the most popular of series. Omnibus is just a deluxe collection of 17-50 issues without additional content. Compendium would be identical i.e. 17-50 issues (max 1300 pages long) but cheaper without any extras and in the standard softcover format. Largest slipcase editions that are available in limited quantity would be the Absolute/Library/Masterwork (min 300 pages) and have fresh bonus material inside with production scripts, commentary, interviews etc. 1990-2010 period of wild west for publishers has ended a long time ago and it would be nice if they fit on the shelves and weren't as confusing as those monthly floopies.

[@Wanderer3639]

when i read CODA title in the video I thought it referred to the C0DA from TES in a compiled art/stories... I watched the video and read its synopsis.

[@CesarIsaacPerez]

I read it in issues. Loved the story. Great art! Sucks that they didn't include all the stuff from the trades.

[@ryanlongden7330]

Sold

[@jordanthomas4379]

Are there going to be more books? Or is this all of it?

[@gwynplaine.]

Ι just bought it...but if I knew about the omissions of the variants covers and all the other stuff I would have bought the three trades

[@TheWisestWizards]

Bummer about the extras, I wonder what reason they could have for not including all of them?

[@Ernasto]

Side question: which X-Men omnibus is that on the lower shelf in the corner, right behind the CODA book you're reviewing @nearmintcondition?

[@Ernasto]

Found it: X-Men Adventures omni

[@NearMintCondition]

Glad you got it. :)

[@joshuagraham2843]

Hey i have a question, does this book comes with plastic wrap Like sealed or unsealed?

[@ricardocastaneda90]

I'm I the only one bumped out this didn't get a Slipcase edition? 😢😢 I thought it would've complemented it greatly.

[@Kor33Com]

My copy of Once and Future Deluxe from Boom fell apart...They need better qc.

[@James-ip7zk]

You didn’t censore the last page

[@fireboy312002]

Love this book, but man the book design is lacking. No table of content... no extras? Disappoint, loved the story and the fantastic tale.

[@ReaperXC]

There's probably no blurb on it because there's been the solicits, single issues and the trades for promotion which most people would buy and then an oversized expensive hardcover are for the die-hards or for those who only collect that format. Not many people will pick this hard cover up on a whim. They'll watch your video, listen to an interview or BING search the book to get an idea before buying.

[@baileyyaddle]

First

[@francoisdemorcy5084]

Crazy art.Story is eh. Cannot get b intonthat main guy and his wife

[@monaghanboy711]

I hope nobody will get a damaged CODA.
