"There’s a Dark Phoenix Omnibus out this week. Is it a reissue of the one discussed on this thread, or a new selection? Better or worse, Legionnaires?"

Essential Ghost Rider has a DD crossover in which Foggy gets shot, but I've no idea who did it or why as it's only a subplot in the crossover. It feels oddly…"

Fraser Sherman replied to John Dunbar's discussion DC's Omnibus line - Golden, Silver, and Bronze Age collections"Possibly. I think we're past the point at which people assume the comics will be just like the movies/TV, but maybe Marvel's not convinced."

Philip Portelli said… Hello John,
I may be out of line here but in regards with your exchange with Mark, we both know how he feels about Marvel now. We've both know that his opinion has not and probably will not change though I hope it does. Despite previous advice, I have no doubt that he will continue to comment on how "evil" the Marvel heroes are whenever he can.
However, he has had some medical problems and he has left here before thinking no one wants him here. That's something that I am hoping to avoid. I'm not blaming you for ANYTHING, let me make that clear. I am only trying to prevent another round of the same debate that apparently caused hard feelings before.
You won't change his mind and challenging him about it will only make him defensive, as past interactions show us. If steered clear from the topic of Marvel's Post-Civil War period, he seems happier.
Anyway, that's my two cents. Again I'm not faulting you at all. Merely trying to keep the peace, as they say.
With all respect and best wishes,
Philip
