my technique is similiar but i do it upside down so i dont get spoiled because its hard to make out the pictures... but yes great video!!! 👍
Great idea! I heard that tip right after I posted this video! Wish I had known before! Thanks for watching!
Hey man. I do this with the book upside down. That way less likely to see spoilers
That’s a solid tip! I’m going to start doing that! I’m an idiot for not thinking of that myself. lol
@@Omnibuddy lol I can't take credit for it, I seen it elsewhere and I felt the same as you did.
@@Philly_Phiction genius
do you mean the pictures upside down? or the pages hanging towards the table?
Basically, when you stretch the spine, flip the book upside down while you’re doing it so you’re less likely to see/comprehend any spoilers.
Great video!
I always look through the book to see the artwork, it never spoils anything for me. Sometimes I buy a book and it'll be months before I get around to reading it, but I definitely want to appreciate it immediately by looking through it thoroughly.
For sure! It does help when you relax the spine right away, and then you don't get to reading it for months to years later (like myself)! lol
1000% Agree, Take the Book Cover Off before reading. Cause this is what's going to happen, No matter how careful you can be. It will tear.
Great Video, Thank you
No problem, thank you!😬
Thank you for the tutorial, very helpful
No problem at all. Glad it was helpful for you!
I'm new in the Omnibus reading. Thanks a lot for the video. Helps a lot. I've heard people, saying I should do this several times before reading. Is that necessary? or is it enough when I do it only once?
welcome to the community! I usually only do it once before reading. And again if it’s been more than 6ish months. Just to be safe.
@@Omnibuddy Alright, thanks a lot! My first two omnibuses are Mark Waid‘s Fantastic four and geoff johns‘ Green lantern! Very excited to start reading when they‘re sent to me. 😄
@@GrandAdmiralMitthrawnuruodo VERY COOL! Let me know how you like them! :D (Sorry for the late reply, this one got lost!)
@@Omnibuddy Will do that, as soon as I‘ve read them. At the moment I barely have time for it, because of school, but after the exams I‘ll start reading.
@@GrandAdmiralMitthrawnuruodo Heck yeah! Real life before comics/hobbies!
Hi, is it normal for parts of the brown cupboard paper material beneath the ribbon to come off at the binding?
If you're talking about the brown paper on the inside of the text block that's attached to the block and not the spine, you're fine. That's just there to keep the text block from getting glued to the spine so it can open up and create an eye-hole.
@@Omnibuddy yes as shown from the top of your omnibus, the brown paper on the ribbon that looks to be coming off. If so, can I glue it myself or just leave it as it is?
You could glue it if it bothers you but it’s no big deal. Nothing to worry about!
My ultimate Spider-Man reprint eye isn’t as big as yours in this video should I keep working on it?
You could keep working it a bit but if it has a decent eyehole and it’s readable, I’d just leave it be and enjoy. It’ll loosen over time as you read it too.
@@Omnibuddy yeah I’ve scanned though the pages and the gutter loss is almost not existent so I think I did a good job. It’s my first omnibus and I want it make sure I don’t break it anyway. I’m like a parent with a newborn baby rn with how I’m treating this book lol
Haha. All good! I suspect you’re good to go! Enjoy your first omnibus!
@@Omnibuddy I will ultimate Spider-Man is my favorite series and man seeing in the format is truly amazing
That’s too much work. waste of time. Just read the book
It, usually, only takes a minute or so. And it does help to relax the spine for a better reading experience, but yeah, up to you!
