Hello?
Oh good I've got the thread all to myself, time to put on some opera and make marsh mellow jello!
So knowledgeable people who are err...knowledgeable, what do you call the compilations of comics/graphic novels? You know, the kind where you could get (random example) the first 50 volumes or releases or whatever they're called of a comic book"
Yes, I know I can JUST google it, but googling doesn't usually lead to a conversation with friends now does it?

Depends. Companies market them different ways such as "Omnibus" or "X series". Generally, they're "collections".

You've got most of it to yourself. Turns out the game I'm playing is a time annihilator...
I think the word used for compilations of comic books is trade version.

I'd completely forgotten the word "Omnibus" in this context, I remember it being used a lot when I had a brief flirtation with comics back a while ago. Thanks for the info!

Thanks, I remember a friend calling them something like that but I wasn't sure since (to me, as an newbie) it seems like an odd name haha.
I picked up a compilation of Batman shorts/serials from the 40s tonight, as much as I like Batman I wasn't even aware they existed to be honest. I'll give 'em a watch soon, kinda excited about it too.

Put it on Crow's tab.
Thanks man, I knew you loved me. You're such a nice guy.
If you want to talk to somebody who knows about comics, seek out snowkatt. From what I understand, she's pretty high up there on the geek scale.

There's a fair bit of good stuff in this game, but the pacing is, well, shit.
Not a problem. I vaguely remembered, looked online to doublecheck.
That sounds cool. I can think of far worse ways to spend an evening. =)
