>Marvel's pumping out so many of these books and cutting back print runs so much that the FOMO is worse
I got burnt out because of it. The slower pace was better. I am not joking when I say: I think a collected edition bubble will soon be burst. Whilst there are plenty of titles that people still want, they are also publishing the absolute dregs. And anecdotally I have seen quite a few anons in private facebook collectors groups get rid of their whole collection because they overconsumed.

Omar is a genuinely nice guy who stays away from politics and garnered a good audience. Remember the audience for collected editions is relatively small in general and watching Omar beats reading solicits. So Omar just started doing polls and telling Marvel what came up at the top of his poll or just told them when a book was missing content. He then built up a relationship with David Gabriel, who I believe is head of publishing. And started doing paid for content.
