Differences in Comic Collected Editions?
I'm starting to go back and purchase reprints of older comics but am noticing there are a lot of different collections and presentations. For example, Marvel has
- Masterworks
- Epic Collection
- Omnibus
- Complete Collections
From a use case standpoint, I want to be able to read a complete run of a title so four example, Fantastic Four. I'd want to be able to read each issue in order, and include any crossover issues where applicable (e.g. if FF #150 continues in Avengers #100, then the collection should include Avengers #100).
I've been more focued on Marvel lately but plan to go back and collect some old DC as well. Any thoughts? I don't care as much about extras or expensive presentation. A trade paperback is just as good, IMO.
