Great video, Mitch! For me it’s FOMO, Space, and Time… gotta start pulling those into the equation more. Always helpful to take a step back and re-access.
I started collecting a year ago and I started feeling like I needed to catch up since I started the hobby when I did and there was so many omnis out there! I ended up selling almost everything I bought because some of it wasn’t for me, now I only collect/buy what impacts me enough and something that’d be special to me. I’m also going to limit myself to buying 1-2 books a month
FOMO is a big one.. it’s absolutely dangerous and we’ve all been through it. One of the most solid videos I’ve seen from you Mitch, I love your honesty and transparency. Over the years I’ve cut back alot on buying and budget accordingly and buy what I love and not always what I want. I hope this helps out other collectors too. As usual your lighting and presentation is always on point bro. 🤘🏾
Thanks for sharing. You could try always your local library and see what graphic novels they have. And make suggestions for books that the Library would like to add to their catalogue.
My monthly budget means being specific with anything I want to get. So I’m still in for Tokyo Ghost (thanks for this channel), but to get it I’ll need to move a few things on. Which makes the purchase just that bit more special because I had to plan and work for it. In the meantime I have a buffer of Full Metal Alchemist which a friend has kindly leant me. I pay them back with homemade cake every five books so there’s always the borrow option as a budget option !
Thanks for the Well thought out Advise, I Agree in all of you said same goes for me not to play catch up with a series or missing out, I focus more on a genre side horror/thriller or Science Fiction/European Books & my go to Edition Deluxe Edition or Single Complete Hardcover that could be enjoy in a Fast Read I lemit my self 2 or 3 books for a month . This is A Great video for Advice for New Collectors or Just A New Readers who just starting Collecting
I’m constantly curating my collection. I read a ton, at almost 100 this year so far. If I dont see myself reading something else again then it’s in the for sale pile. As far as books being reprinted that’s not the case for a lot of what I’m reading. Which causes fomo. I read a lot of fantagraphics and smaller publishers
Budget?
I know, right?!😫
I really enjoyed watching your video; it resonated with me deeply. I used to read comics regularly, but I realized that with so many ongoing series, it’s not worth accumulating too many in the house. So, I decided to stop and wait for the library editions instead. Then came the omnibuses, and I found that I really needed to be selective and picky about the titles I chose. I’ve limited myself to the ones I truly want to read and keep on my bookshelf. These days, there are so many great titles that I want to buy and read, but I’m trying to be more discerning by reading online reviews first. Space in my house is limited, and books are expensive in my country. I completely agree with you-what would happen to all these books if I’m gone? I don’t want to burden my family with that. I’ve also noticed that more and more books are getting printed, and without sponsorship,Hehehe, buying them can be very expensive for me. I used to get caught up in the fear of missing out (FOMO) and kept buying omnibuses, but I’m glad I realized that reading them can burn you out-they take a long time to finish. So, I’ve had to sit down and rethink things. I’m not a collector, so why was I buying books that I don’t think I’ll enjoy? That’s why I stopped. Your video today really hit home, and I wanted to thank you for that. Sorry Mitch for the super long comments. 😂
I agree that letting the hobby fund itself is a lot of work... plus it doesn't always works out.
It's a big gamble. I mean, sure, if you end up making a few bucks here and there, great! But I never count on it!
Wow I identify with this. Not to mention the prices in Australia are crazy!!!
Oh geez... I can't imagine how difficult it is with those prices!

Oh, I try and read from everyone (and do); I just prefer independent publishers over most Marvel and DC stuff. However, some of my favorites are still from Marvel/DC!

Oh man, yeah. That's also a big reason why I dropped single issues! So much to try and keep up on that way!
My Comics budget is $40 a month on issues, sometimes I do go over but I try to stick to my budget. I haven't abandoned single issues since I was 15, that was 30 years ago... I buy trades, HCs, and Omnis of stuff I missed out on or didn't know about as a bonus for my birthday and for Christmas. I also never sell anything, so yeah, I have 30 years worth of collecting and reading.
Oh snap! Thats gotta be an amazing collection! It’s awesome how well you’ve stuck to your budget so well for so long! Very cool!
waaaay too close to the camera
Yep. I went for a close up instead of medium closeup for a serious chat. It was on purpose, but I realize that choice may not be for everyone.
@stickygoose this is one of those thoughts that you should have stopped way before it reached your finger tips. It’s up to the creator how to frame their vids. Ask yourself if someone said in your vids “waaay too close” or “waaaay too far away”, would you change a thing? I doubt it, as it done and done in the way you wanted. You would just get irritated that someone has made such a fatuous point.
Not a surprise that your go to comment on a positive video for the community is another negative one goose. You really couldn’t think of anything encouraging or positive to say to a fellow creator? I can say as an editor first hand how much painstaking work Mitch put into this video. For someone who claims to be a big fan of Omnidog you don’t instal his ethos of peace and love.
@@OffMyShelvesthank you for supporting Mitch! He pores so much work and love into his videos, and even more into the online community. We should always strive yo build each other up.
Yeahhhhhh so definitely fomo. I see an Omnibus I’m interested in and immediately think “buy this right this second it will be out of print within the next 24 hours!!!”
It's definitely a hard one to overcome. But over the years, you'll see that almost every book gets reprinted, and many are actually evergreen (get reprinted any time it sells out)! Hang in there! It gets better!
@@Omnibuddy Only Omnis I was alright FOMOing recently were pre-orders for Marvel vs DC. It’s $180 for both. If Amalgam is as bad as everyone says I’m ok just satisfying my collector’s bug instead of my reader’s bug (which should be the one you feed)
@TheChris-lw8eo Yeah, there are a few exceptions to the rule, like those with licensing issues.💚
Seriously great video Mitch! Solid advice. Budgeting helps me keep this hobby healthy for myself-I only wish I started years earlier 👏 Also likes the “drop books you aren’t enjoying” it can be so easy to horde but that’s also been a liberating thing for me. It helps fund the hobby, clear up space on shelves, and makes my collection feel more curated or tailored. Again fantastic video man 👏
Thank you so much, buddy! Yeah, the ability to cut your losses on a book or series you're not enjoying is pretty liberating. You can cut your losses or keep adding to your losses, and for what? To complete a series of a book you don't even like or enjoy? WHY?!
@@Omnibuddy right haha
Having collector friends is what helped me. I was THAT noob who bought everything i "thought" i wanted. Then I realized I'm not a fan of pre-80s books because they are too wordy. Needless to say, I had a lot of books to sell/trade. Now the great group of guys keep me on track, and also help me fund my hobby by trading omnis I've read for new books. Ahhh..... Omnibuds Café.... helping omnibus collectors stay within budget while also enabling us to keep buying for eight years running 😅
HAHA. Sometimes they help us ...and sometimes they enable us! XD But, I'm glad you settled into better habits!
This is from now on my most favorite video of yours Mitch. It was like you said eveything that I myself would if I got to the topic. You presented the issue and stated your position perfectly. This was pure education, sound advice. And I think a wake up call for many that was a sleep on their potential problems with this hobby. Hats off to you, sir
Thank you, Joakim! You're one of the best out there for sound advice, so I take your positivity towards this with the highest regard. Hope you're doing well, buddy!
I’d agree but man is it hard to decide and commit to a favorite. I’ll always love the video of him teaching how to fold a dust jacket haha (he taught me how)
Really good video!! Bunch of truth in here. I've made most of these mistakes and hopefully learned from them. I've even sold off everything and started over to take care of animals. Much smarter this round. I think, lol
Hindsight is 20/20! Good on you! We all make mistakes. We just have to learn from them and then try and help others. Hopefully, we'll all elevate each other!
Great video idea! A lot of important topics touched on and a lot of solid tips to follow if you’re a new collector. Oh and phenomenal lighting and video quality! But what’s new with that, that’s just a typical high quality Omnibuddy video!
HAHA. Thanks! Maybe I should break this into a bit more of a series and go deeper into stuff. Hmmm...
@@OmnibuddyI think it would be a solid series for your channel or even challenge to other content creators. Keep sharing your tips but have others share tips also. Between you and everyone else it would be a wealth of knowledge for new collectors!
Fomo is a dangerous beast.... gotta work on slaying that beast lmao. Awesome video!
Thank you! Yeah, it's one that constantly rears it's stupid face and I'm always having to give it a good punch. lol
My 5 yr old daughter LOVES the Shredders Revenge game on my PS5. And she enjoys the Nickelodeon show on Netflix. If nothing else, the TMNT allow me be young again and spend time with my Babygirl
That’s amazing! I love watching TMNT with my kids!
I was collecting these but I think I’m gonna abandon ship haha just not into horror enough BUT these are still beautiful books and an incredible team! Great coverage and love you getting more eyes on this interesting concept they are doing
Totally understandable! I can't do much horror, so I've started reserving it for my favorite creators like this!
Love the design of these books. Great coverage. The art throughout is Breathtaking
Oh dude, I freaking love the art. The panel layouts and how crazy it gets is just incredible!
Another Great Video! Great explaining what the series about Need to Add this to my Shelf Can't wait for Star Seed, Great Year to be A Horror Fan A Lot of Great Tittles this year. Mitch you should check out Gou Tanabe H.P. Lovecraft Adaptation of At The Mountains of Madness Deluxe Edition from Dark Horse faithful Adaptation, Similar themes of The Bone Orchard Mythos.
I have that new Deluxe of HP Lovecraft coming soon ...hopefully. I need that Star Seed so badly, and I REALLY hope it's not delayed much longer!
@@Omnibuddy Gonna Count that Deluxe Overview soon love to hear your thoughts on that Story that edition & Gou Tanabe Art, Hope & Jeff & Andrea could Reenergize there Creative Dou to Expand this Mythos
@@knightwing4972 Awesome!
just ordered all 3-was hoping a collected edition would come out-but hearing they are an indefinite hiatus-loved Gideon Falls, so this pair together v appealing.
Yeah, may as well jump on them, not sure if or when they'll ever collect them in one big one now that they're on hiatus. I just hope they start feeling it again and jump back onto the series, soon!
Massive Unboxing by Mitch I'm In! Bone Orchard Mythos Tenement is Blood looking Good with that Crimson Red & Black Cover is Great 😮 looking forward for the Overview
Heck yes! I don't do as many unboxings anymore, but when I do, I try and make the count!
This seems like a VERY interesting read and I’m happy I picked it up. Omar got my attention on it during a hidden gem video but now with your coverage I’m even more sold!
I totally missed that Hidden Gem video! I'll have to start trying to watch them more! :D
This video was so helpful thank you for posting. I bought the last ronin and started last ronin 2 and completely hooked. I was overwhelmed at where to start but this helped ground me- thank you!
Thank you for the kind words, and I love helping people out! Jumping into comics can be super intimidating and I still struggle with that, too. So I'm always happy to try and help others who are curious and/or confused! Hope you love them!
I remember buying my first pack of Star Wars cards when I was in the 5th grade in 1997 (Mall location). She's a pillar in this community.
Oh man! I was just talking to some buddies about how I used to play Star Wars CCG back in the 90's! I REALLY miss it and actually just purchased my first MTG cards last week (still in the mail) as they were drawn by David Petersen and his art is insanely cool ...so I needed them ...especially since they were cheap! Now I'm contemplating dipping my toes into CCGs again. lol
Just got this today.. Thanks to Instocktrades.
Have you heard of saucer country
Oh snap. Going to have to look this up!
@@Omnibuddy it gets a lot oc praise I have the complete collection paperback but haveng got around to reading it
@@ComicSwagGoing to look into it, thanks!
I've never heard of this book either you are with books how I used to be with Music , I was always listing to more underground none radio jams .
Thanks! I love finding and sharing books that deserve more love! :D
Sheesh what a haul bro ! My biggest book in my library is BIG DAMN SIN CITY.
I mean... that is a BIG DAMN book! :D
The original is the best. The IDW run is good up till 100 where S.C took over and ran it into the ground, but up to that it’s good.
I've read up to that ...but i really need to push through and catch up ...but I'm scared! lol
@@Omnibuddy it’s up to you, I kind of just quit and I’ll be reading the new Jason Aaron run. I still think the best is the original Mirage run. I’m going back through it and what a great story and writing.
@@flyingdutchman8093 Awesome! I am very excited for Jason Aaron's TMNT! Just can't wait for how awesome I know it'll be!
Thanks for hilighting that Usagi, just scooped mine up cuz of it. 👍🏻
AWESOME! Yeah, you gotta jump on those Usagi HCs when they come out! O_O
Go Mitch!
Go Mitch? Go YOU. You beautiful, brave boy.
You have a Dane in the family!!!
HAHA! He's my step-brother that I grew up with and was born in Denmark! He moved back with his wife and kids almost 10 years ago and I'm still sad about it. Happy for him ...but sad for me. lol
Glad these are in hardcover as well! Just to clarify: are these standard size hardcovers or deluxe size hardcover (can scale with Omnibus)?
These are smaller than the oversized (omnibus) editions. Sadly. 😫 Maybe one day we can get some giant library editions!🤞🏻
@Omnibuddy thank you! Yeah I'm hoping for that or an omni in the future as well!
@yaddasmelkins We’ll see! Dark Horse doesn’t normally do Omnis, but I’m hoping for some of those giant-sized editions!
@Omnibuddy ok ok fine, we'll settle for a monster edition :p lol
@@yaddasmelkins LOL! We can only hope! XD
This is dope, man! I really amazed by the size of this coffe table edition, now I want something this big in my collection
They're HUGE! Now, I need to figure out where I'm going to start putting books like this. lol
Why are you holding your knives like that?? But other than that. Great haul. You need to read more Marvel mutants, there are many better books than Uncanny X-Force. The "Artist Editions" books are great books to admire comics art. My big books are all the artist and artifact editions. Got a bunch at deep discount and then picked up some from my fav artist. Looking forward to the Paul Smith one.
I have a tab open with the Paul Smith's Uncanny X-Men Artist's Edition thanks to you... lol But yeah, I need and want to read some more mutant books. I just need a good place to start that won't take too much commitment! lol
I considered getting that Pretty Deadly, but I don't know where I would store it!
This is the problem. And I should have thought about this earlier. XD
This book looks so much fun!
The whole series (well, I've read vol 1 and 2 so far) is incredible! REALLY enjoying it!
I love the lighting in your videos. Thanks for another great overview!
Thank you! I also try and show the books as appealing as possible and have fun with the camera and lighting! If I'm going to do it, I want to do it right! :D
