See the 1:34 mark for Dark Tower Omnibus news, and an interview with Ralph Macchio, senior editor at Marvel Comics. He gives us a peak at the two volume set, which includes the Dark Tower Companion. The set comes out September 7.
That set is going to look very nice on my bookshelf. Which isn't a bookshelf, per se, but a bunch of pieces of wood with -- I kid you not -- cinder blocks separating them. Yes, it's true: I am white trash.
But I'm gonna have the Dark Tower omnibus from Marvel, so I've got in my plus column!
It's debatable. Kinda like if you take a taco and then smash it into pieces, is it still a taco? I don't know. It's still delicious, though, I know THAT.
It looks like a very nice set but the price (150 list price) puts it a bit out of my range. I've already bought a massive and expensive book this year - DC Comics 75 Years of Mythmaking (200 bucks list price but I got for half that). Also I just bought the hardcover for The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Born and I plan on buying the rest of the collected issues either in hardcover or TPB, whichever I find cheapest.
Luis, you can currently get the omnibus on Amazon for about $95. Also, if you get only the individual trades, you getting none of the supplemental material by Robin Furth -- and that stuff is indispensable for Dark Tower fans.
But yes, it definitely is pricey; my wallet is going to feel the pinch big-time the week it comes out, even with the Amazon discount!

I think that counts as a bookshelf.
