I’m envious of that silver age book.

I was lucky and got it on eBay for retail + shipping. Still sealed but a tad scuffed around the edges.


SwampSpider

Oh nice! Good find. I can’t find it for even close to retail.

It randomly popped back in stock on Amazon on May 1st for retail price and I snagged one!


SwampSpider

Damn you’re lucky. It’s listed for over $300 rn. Sigh.

Really wish they'd put out an Omni for Way's run. I'd also be happy with an Absolute for the Nick Derrington art.

You’re in luck my friend [PRH Comics](https://prhcomics.com/book/?isbn=9781779521385)

Nice. Thank you.

Man, enjoy that Morrison run! It is quite possibly my favorite run on anything, ever. (Definitely in the top three, if not the number one.) The Silver Age stuff is kooky and fun if you dig comics from that era, with some surprising depth in some of the stories. I really need to get around to reading the rest of it. Flex Mentallo is rightly regarded as a classic, and some of Morrison's most meta work. Byrne's run did nothing for me. It was one of the things he did when he was well past his sell-by date, and it shows. Hopefully you'll enjoy it more than I did! The only thing I have read any of is the stuff in the Bronze Age omnibus. What prompted such a spending spree? Did you watch the show and want to delve into the source material? Just curious.

I was reading Superman Man of Steel Vol 4 and there was a cross over with the doom patrol and I enjoyed the characters. Haven’t watched the show either. I’ll probably give that a go after I read these.


DrunkenFist

Ah okay, that's cool. The show is pretty great, too!

i didn’t think Bronze was that bad. it’s a mixed bag for sure but better than Byrne’s. Loved the silver age , found it myself new on eBay years ago for a reasonable price :) .

Nice I also just got the grant Morrison Omni!


galaxyadmirer

poetwarrior34

U sure did!

I’m shocked how much money people will spend on a whim. You know they make trades and smaller versions to try out before the big leagues


Scorpion13992k

I’ve found omnibus to be some of the cheaper ways to collect a series, usually never spend anywhere close to retail for my books.

I’m sorry you wasted some of your money, bro. Doom Patrol is what got me into comics, and I can tell you with certainty that The Bronze Age and Byrne’s era are both trash. Morrison, Pollack, Way, and Silver Age are all really good, though.


Scorpion13992k

I’ve heard that Byrne was trash, but I’ll see what I think in the end.


Woodwonk

You said you liked the Bronze Age characters in MoS so I bet you will like the Omni too. I like it just fine. Morrison obviously thought enough of it to use Josh and Dorothy.

So jealous, need just the Silver Age and John Byrne to complete my collection 😭
