    Kirk's custom work is incredible! He REALLY thought it through, and not just his mapping. The spines are what got me impressed, with the gorgeous font, the consistent publisher logo design and placement, the connecting custom artwork between volumes.... He really thought this through, even with his first custom binding. Kudos to Kirk! I am awestruck!!!! Thanks Omar!!!!!

    • @NearMintCondition
      @NearMintCondition  7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I plan on doing a Jason Todd omni. More like a pre Knightfall omnibus. I'm going to include: Batman 357-359, 402-403, Detective Comics 524-526, Batman 408 - 411, Nightwing Year One, Batman 416, 424-429. In that order.
      There is a Batman Second Chances tpb that contains: BATMAN #402-403, #408-416 and BATMAN ANNUAL #11.
      As far as Red Hood, I haven't put too much thought into that one. I tend to get overwhelmed when working on multiple projects.

      Hello John, These were bound by Houchen Library and customized by comic binding pro. If you make your own covers yourself on photoshop and prep the books the prices aren't that bad at all. For five or more with a graphic cover is $18.00 each plus shipping of course. That is just the graphic printed on the cover, but you can add all the bells and whistles you want. I hope that helps you a little.

    Random question, but as I collect floppies for a custom bind of my own, I'm realising how aggravating those barcodes will be to my OCD. Is custom printing an omnibus from purchased floppies more viable in that sense? Do you recommend custom printing at all over custom binding? What are the drawbacks?

It contains: AMAZING SPIDER-MAN (1999) #20-29, ANNUAL 2001; SPIDERMAN: REVENGE OF THE GREEN GOBLIN #1-3; PETER PARKER: SPIDER-MAN (1999) #25, 29

    I hit the like button with pleasure! Great work.
    I am from Brazil and I've tried to make some homemade collected comic books.
    But here is a little bit more dificult. It's because, instead single issues, the brazillian pulbisher of DC Comics (Panini Comics) send to the stores 100 paged magazines with a mix of titles from a same Hero or Group/League/Squad.
    For example: the brazilian monthly comic book of Batman may contain 1 or more Batman issue, 1 or more Detective Comics issue and maybe 1 Robin issue, 1 Batgirl issue, 1 Catwoman issue, 1 Nightwing issue etc.
    It becomes worst if you try with Flash, Mars Hunter, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Green Arrow, JLA etc. Almost Always these share the same monthly magazine in Brazil.
    Binding brazilian comic books become easier only when all the content of these monthly magazines is part of a same storyline. But it ralely hapens.

      I'm surprised they've never included Venom in any of their collections and surprised they haven't done a standalone Deluxe HC. That would be a great bind to include those stories. I always think it's a double edge sword when including issues that were written years later, but the take place before the actual stories. For example all the Marvel -1 titles or the cable and Wolverine one shot that takes place long before the Wolverine series. I forgot about More Fun Comics 48 BTW.

      Well I figure that it's over 2 decades and a new "reality" in the DC Universe, although I did add in the two "recent" Shadow of the Bat" Convergence issues.
      But due to my obsessiveness I may never bind them as my Knightquest: The Crusade collection is 46 issues deep - as I include the appearances of "AzBat" in other titles (Chain Gang War, Outsiders, Showcase, Batman/Punisher: Lake of Fire).

      I have looked for a friend that lives in Peru and I cannot find a place that will ship it to him. I'm so sorry I would assume you would have to go through a third party person to set it up and mail it to you.

    It kills me when I'm reading an issue and the end says "To Be Continued In" another series. Then you have to hunt down random issues.

      The omnibuses are doing a good job collecting the Golden and Silver Age books. My DC books start Post Crisis. The Trades are doing a great job collecting the Batman stuff, hopefully more omnis to come in the future. I do plan doing a comprehensive reading order of the Batman books in collected editions soon.

      @NearMintCondition  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      In the same vain that a magician never reveals all his secrets :) . In all seriousness what Kirk does is work with a binding library. He sets up a timeline of the comics and where they should go in the order that better suits the story (sometimes different than publishing order) and creates the overall look and designs of the books. For example those amazing spines.

      I've been wanting to do this for a time but I have a big question: Do you have to take the pages apart from the trades by yourself or does the binder does that for you? And if so as I guess what is the best way to do it if you can share that info
