"Same here. Where are they now, mid-'80s? A lot of the late '80s and '90s material was crap the first time I read it, so I don't really need to get it in hardback. Anything that wasn't crap, Marvel has probably already released in omnibus form. (Like…"
"Y'know what? If that's true, I won't be just too broken up about it. They were getting too "recent" to be of much value (to me, anyway), and it will be one less thing to spend my money on without FOMO."
"Bleeding Cool says Marvel Masterworks are going on "indefinite hiatus" after December 2025."
"I bought volume one (collecting #1-13) never really hoping or expecting to see volume two...

A new edition of volume one has been solicited (for April 16 release) as well."

"No? That's okay. I think I've got enough to go on. I've decided to pre-order it. (I was leaning that way, anyway.)"
"Thanks for the feedback, guys. Any other opinions before the deadline?"
"To answer Jeff’s question, I do recommend this omnibus, which is roughly the first half of the series. Being under the Comics Code, there is no swearing and, instead of the grunt terminology of “cherry” or “FNG,” they use the silly substitute of…"

Comments
Thank you Mr. Dunbar.
Hello John. Thank you for the invitation for friendship. What comic books are you reading?
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
thanks for the invite!
