Hey everyone,

So, I decided to bid on and won an AOA Omnibus on Ebay, without knowing that the reprint is coming out next year, until after ordering it... so, is the reprint going to be put as a "second" edition written on it or something and will it be the exact same cover art and such as the one printed three years ago? Do they label somewhere in the omnibi that it is a reprint? I want to know because if it will be the exact same book, then I will just order that one and sell the omnibus I bought. Thank you all for your knowledge and insight, its is greatly appreciated!!! :)

Bump

Typically the only difference is in collector value. Collectors will pay more for 1st edition. If you want resale value then the 1st edition will give you better. If you just want to read, then there is no diff. Hope that helps. Btw ... where did you learn about the reprint coming next year? I might be interested in picking that one up for myself.

@alias99: It was in Marvel's October solicits.

wouldn't it be cheaper to hit the nickle bins at a con for those issues?

@sprior93: Thanks. Can you provide a link? Not able to find it ... :-(

@alias99: Sorry, it was actually in the Hatchet Catalog for Marvel's January-April releases, not the October solicitations.

Also, here's a listing of it on Amazon.

@sprior93: awesome, thanks! Btw in looking for the October solicits (searching for AOA) noticed that they are going to release a third Uncanny X-Men omnibus!!! :-) :-) :-)

@alias99: Yes! I'm totally getting that, and the cover for it is beautiful.
