Giant Invincible Universe Custom Omnibus Project 

Thanks so much!

Thanks so much! It’s a really fun way to read it.

Thanks so much!

Thanks! It’s a great way to read the story.

Thanks so much!

They are totally worth it

It’s honestly not too hard to do. Since the bookbinder does the real work all I had to do on this was use a ruler and xacto knife.

True I probably still mess up NGL 💀

It doesn’t. I just don’t have a copy of that so I couldn’t include it.

Thanks!

I don’t think they do unfortunately. Comic book binding is a small part of their business. There are groups on Facebook for buying and trading custom bound comics though. Maybe someone has something close there?

Thanks so much!

Thanks so much! Yeah this process has really made me appreciate the stuff I didn’t read earlier, like Brit and Guarding the Globe. If you sent in the graphic covers your books are probably going to ship pretty soon, probably in the next two weeks. This time of year things are quiet there and three months is the average time. Summer is their busy season (they bind a lot of school books over summer break) so I’ve had wait time of five months if I send anything in around then.

@@thecomicarchive thanks, very new to binding comics, and enjoy your content

Thanks so much and welcome to the club!

Houchen Bindery. I go to them a lot.

Houchen Bindery. They’re online and pretty easy to find with a Google search.

Thank you

I do the designs in photoshop.

I don’t have a total tally of what I spent. I used the compendiums to cut down on the cost of the main series which helped. The binding costs about $50-$60 per book depending on what options you choose.

@@thecomicarchive do you have an instagram i can reach out on? i’m really wanting to do this project myself

Thanks so much! I haven’t tried what you are looking to do but I imagine it would be fine. People often send in their own table of contents with their books so I know from a technical standpoint there is nothing stopping them.

@@thecomicarchive That is amazing to hear, cause there are so many comics series that I can’t find online or are just to expensive to buy even for some trade paperbacks. It’s great to hear they accept that, just the news I needed. Thank u! What bind business do you recommend?

I use Houchen Bindery just about every time. Sometimes I branch out but Houchen has a really great level of service and a broad range of options that many others can’t match.

@@thecomicarchive Are they cool with a stack of 2.5 inches of paper? I want to include around 50 issues in each omnibus, similar to some of the Spider-Man Omnibuses.

I’ve sent in ones 2.5” before.

It’s a great way to read Invincible. I really love custom binding comics and think it’s a great way to keep my collection easily accessible to read. If you’re just getting started with the hobby I would suggest starting with something that you don’t love. Only because the amount of decisions you need to make can be overwhelming and you won’t know your preferences until you see them in hand. Houchen Bindery is my favorite (they are now called HF Grouo I think). And there are custom binding groups on Facebook where you can connect with the community for advice and help.

So the book binder used a glue binding which let me order and arrange the individual pages as I see fit. If you get in touch with Houchen Bindery they will help walk you through the process. They do all the heavy lifting, I just put everything in the order I wanted it.

@thecomicarchive thank you so much

@@thecomicarchive how would you recommend I get in touch with them?

Their website is hfgroup (dot) com. Scroll down and there is a section for comic books.

@thecomicarchive alright thanks just one more question where did you buy all the comics because some places I've seen are just not available
