Thank you, sir. I didn't think there was a huge demand for Winick's Outsiders so I took it upon myself to go ahead and do it. I just watched your Green Lantern Corps omni...so now I have another book to add to my list of to do customs. Loved it.

Thank you, sir. I try to only get custom bindings that I know nobody really cares about collecting. I don't know what DC is thinking and not rereleasing the Starman Omnis. They are a must read.

I love the nostalgia, though. I made a hardcover out of 18 Azrael-issues from the 90's. Korn had its first album, Batman&Robin came out.. I like those ads.

Orochi, I'm right ther with you, brother. Preordering and them honoring the prize was the way to go.

Thank you, sir.

You bound Azrael!!? That is awesome man. I'd love to see pics.

Thank you, sir. I think the books I was most excited about were those Custom Binds. :)

I like to design the covers on photoshop myself. I think it's more fun that way. But I completely understand the people that don't want to mess with those kind of things and let someone else do it.

No sir, I haven't but I finally got to read it and damn, that was a good solid read. Now I have to read the rest of the series and catch the movie.

Ouch...sir you hurt my heart. I love Claremont's X-treme X-men. It's soooooo goood....no you are right it really isn't. I'm not even a Claremont apologetic, I just really enjoy his take on the characters. But, I admit some of that stuff was rough to get through, but I really enjoyed the search for the books of Destiny.

HAHAHAHAHA +Nocturne22 we bust Omar's balls all the time for being a Claremont fanboy. You should hear him try to justify Claremont's Excalibur (volume 3) you know: "That so totally hurts." But not even him, can say he enjoyed his JLA run.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you for watching and the kind words.

Thank you so much for the kind words. When I prep trades, I usually take as much glue off as possible. Using the hair dryer trick to soften the glue and then an exacto knife. You don't have to, but it makes it line up so much better with the HC spine if you do. I really hope that helps. My next round of custom binds I plan to do a how to tutorial video.

Thanks for the idea, I ended up using the hairdryer and then ripping every page out of my John's JL run. Had a few close calls w/ pages sticking together and some small half-rips but the gutter loss should be able to hide the fuck ups. Can't wait for the tutorial video!

Absolutely. I had the same happen to me, brother. I tore a couple of pages of my teen titans tpbs and I used clear tape to fix it. The gutter loss did hide those small little fuck ups. So I'm sure yours will be completely fine. Hellz yeah I love John's JL run. I can't believe we don't have a modern JL run from DC in omni format. What the hell is up with that? Well, other than the upcoming Darkseid War omni.

You'd think that with the movie coming in less than a year they'd hold off on releasing the end of John's run in omni form to release is whole run in 2 volumes. I'm running Origins - Trinity War and Forever Evil to Darkseid War, and each is only around 1.5 in thick each so it's nothing too insane. Perks of being a graphic design major is being able to use the new movie logo for the covers, they came out great. Just gotta wait an extra few weeks now cause Houchen is backed up like always in the summer lol.

Yeah, summer is always busy for them. I'd love to see the finished product when you get them in, though.

Not at all Dennis, if anything it's almost easier to get the HC spine seperated from the book. Keep in mind we are talking about your standard HCs like a Marvel Premier one. Not the oversized Hardcovers like Guardians of the Galaxy, Daredevil, Ms. Marvel and Hawkeye as examples.

So I wouldn't be able to create a Superior Spider-Man omnibus using the oversized Hardcovers by themselves, right?

That I haven't looked into myself. I think it would be really difficult to take the sewn binding apart.

Ah, I forgot about that. Is there some sort of photoshop software you use to design the covers and the table of contents?

Dennis, yeah, I use Adobe Photoshop to design the covers and the table of contents. I get the ToC printed out at kinkos or a printing place near town.

Custom Binds are single issues or trades bound by a book bindery into a nice hard cover edition.

Thank you so much for the Sub and for the kind words.

I wouldn't bind anything expensive unless it had a reprint. I wouldn't bind New Mutants 98, but rather a second printing of it. These are mainly for reading.

Ryan, I tend to always go for the DFAB binding most of the time.

Thank you. Good to know. I’m wanting to start doing some custom binding of my own. Yours looked fantastic 👍🏻

Thank you for the kind words and yeah that's what I use.

Hopefully before the year long hiatus. :(

You;'ll have to do the prepping and then they will bind it for you, so for example if you have an issue in the wrong place it will be bound that way.

I'm the same way. Every time.

I do have a complete episode on Customs too.

@@NearMintCondition Yes. I Saw. It was AWESOME!

Shhhh oh these. These I can talk about. Man, my ass is third world country, but not that third world that I got ebola.
