Mail Call For 1.14.23

Noticed that there was a second volume, so, given that I have the first, there was no real choice but to pick it up, even though I’m running out of places to put these huge omnibuses.

As someone who was more of a DC fan than a Marvel fan growing up, I kept hoping that DC would put out something as cool as the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, so I was glad when Who’s Who in the DC Universe finally hit the stands.

I still thought OHOTMU was cooler overall, as I liked the way it went more in-depth into how different powers worked and in defining some specific limits on them and how it seemed like more of a technical manual, but I did appreciate the quality and quantity of original art that Who’s Who boasted.

While I bought each issue of the original Who’s Who and the 1987 update – and still have them, along with the omnibus – I didn’t get around to picking up any of the later editions, so this omnibus is my first time seeing them.

Now I just have to make room for it…

But wait, there’s more!

Something else arrived shortly after I posted this:

Somehow, I missed this at the comic shop, so I had to track it down online. And now Friday has arrived on Saturday.
