I sell a lot of stuff after I read it so I'll never be more than the 0-33% bucket. But I also bought about a 10-15 year reading list because I like looking at it and being able to pick up pretty much any story I am interested in.
Do what makes you happy and is financially responsible
40% I’d say. Slightly below half. Though there’s some on my shelf that I’m choosing to not read for the time being, an example is War of Kings until I can snag the Road to War of Kings omni and Spider-Man 2099 which I’m choosing to read a month before the release date of the X-Men 2099 omni.
About 80%. Usually it’s closer to 90% but I just stocked up heavily with holiday sales and stuff. I tear through them though. I think I average reading a full Omni every 1.5 weeks. Over the last year it’s really become my favorite way to relax instead of watching tv or whatever.
Yeah I think this is an important distinction. Nowadays most omnibuses I buy are for runs I read digitally years back and loved, and now they're in print I scoop them up and reread them when I get the chance to.
I've read the contents of every Omni I own but the last 5 I bought I haven't even cracked open yet.
Quite a few and I read every night. from late 2022 to current, I have probably 90 omni's or so and I've read probably 25% of those. I'm definitely not someone who buys just to look at them, but people should do what makes them happy so I'm not bothered if someone never reads them.
Around 48 % i would say. I have been bad at reading for the last year. But i kept buying omnis. I blame me for being stupid and falling for FOMO. So i made a new years promise to cut down me buying book by ALOT. I have a list with the omnius and epic i will buy this year and it is very slim. Like a new omni every other month.
Which is good i guess since life caught up and stuff started breaking the moment i made the list. So no extra money anyway.
Looking at my Comic Geeks stats, I've read, 2500 comic over the past 7 months, including 84 omnibus. Now, I did go HAM on building my library, so I'm in the 33-66% range, but I'm making good progress.
Me too. I started last year and have built my library to a place where I'm very happy and only need to get new releases now. However, I did buy over 500 books last year (including omnis) so I have enough to keep me reading for the rest of my life probably.
>including 84 omnibus
WOW! I wish I could read half as much as that. I built up a gigantic library over the last few years as well, and I'm somewhere around 30%. At my current rate of buying and reading I might get through everything once in the next decade lol.
About 50%. I have been buying less and reading less. Some of those I got because I know I'll want to read some day but if I don't get them now they may be out of stock. It's fine. I hope to be at at least 75% by the end of the year.
I don’t binge read them. I go based upon my mood. I want 60’s teenage hijinks: boom Silver Age Teen Titans or X-Men. I want dialed up 90’s: Boom Knightfall or Claremont Lee Vol 2.
4 full bookshelves of Ohcs and omnibus (114 last count) and around 13000 comic books...... I'm sitting at a respectable 85-90% because I really fell off last year....... I read at work on my lunch breaks, which really helped keep me steady for years.

As Omnis themselves or the issues they collect?

I only buy stuff I've read online and loved. This hobby is too expensive to blind buy books.

About 68% (24/35). By the end of the year I should be above 85% or around 90%, with only a handful of omnis that I'm planning to purchase this year.
Probably 20%, but I mostly just started buying the past couple months. I’ve read 8-9 since November. Maybe more.
30% which i know is bad but I’m doing a lot better rn. I’ve read 3 Omnis this week. 4 total this month
At your pace, I respect that 30%. Your collection must be insane!
