That's tempting, just for the extras. The trouble is, it'd be doubling up so much stuff that I own already that I'm not convinced that it's going to be worth the money....

I passed on the first omnibus but I'm crazy looking forward to this one. This is Miller at his Daredevil best.

Can't see myself getting this, since I have every one of these issues in one form or another, and I can't see myself paying all that money for a bunch of extras.

Yeah, I have the issues (except for the Spiderman ones) too but luckily (?) they're all in pretty crappy form. I have a super beaten up Born Again trade, the single issues of MWOF and the original graphic novel of Love and War. It'll be nice to have everything in a better format and the extras just put it over the top.

The only beef I have with Marvel and their omnibus program is the page size. They go through all the trouble to make their pages slightly bigger. Why not more? There must be some sort of economic/shipping answer that is hindering Marvel from doing something along the lines of DC's Absolutes. I don't know, but it bugs me a bit.
