How is it an Avengers Disassembled HC when it doesn't even contain the Avengers title?

Re: Marvel Omnibuses you'd like to see
when the omnibus titles go out of print does that mean you are screwed?
would they ever release these titles as paperback editions?

Re: Marvel Omnibuses you'd like to see
Pretty much. They don't usually got back to print. Is it a series that had been in paperback before?

Re: Marvel Omnibuses you'd like to see
Yeah, they're pretty much bigger sized "remastered" collections off stuff that's already in paperback or Marvel Masterworks/Essentials hardcovers. So if you want these and can't get the Omnibus, they're all available in paperback in separate volumes.
A couple Omnibus have been reprinted, like FFvol1, and there's rumors of UncannyXmen and NewXmen getting reprinted, but I haven't seen anything yet.

I don't think everything in the omnibus format has been collected in paperback. Like Devil Dinosaur. Of course that was a small omnibus and doesn't seem to have gone out of print yet.
Most of the Garth Ennis Marvel Knights Punisher run seems to be out of print in paperbacks, which is probably what prompted the omnibus collection. If that goes out of print (is it already?) it will once again be pretty hard to find those stories.

The Punisher Omni came out right when the last Punisher movie did, as did the Iron Man Omni, as did the Hulk Omni, the first FF omni came out around the first film, and the second FF omni came out around the second FF movie, and the Wolverine Omni that just came out obviously coincides with the Wolvie movie.

Why is the New X-Men Omnibus so hard to find?
People at ebay pay around $150 for it.

Re: Marvel Omnibuses you'd like to see
it's another one that's out of print. Probably completists are regretting missing it and bidding it up.

Re: Marvel Omnibuses you'd like to see
Are the volumes 1-3 paperbacks at Amazon ($23.09 each) the equivalent of the New X-Men Omnibus where you get all the stories you would get in the omnibus?

I know this is primarily a discussion about content, but i occasionally postin this thread when i find good deal...I went to a toy show last week, and many of the retailers were selling omnibus and absolutes for 50% or more off. I was able to get FF vol 1, X-men, and Hulk omnis for 40 each, sandman 2-4 absolutes for 45.00, and absolute Kingdom come for 35.00. I'm not sure how often those things move around, but it might be worth it to consider attending to pick up those types of deals...

Keep posting up the deals! I love reading about them! We had a toy/comic show a couple of weekends ago too. Didn't see anything that good.

Re: Marvel Omnibuses you'd like to see
Not getting the page count for this. I guess it tells a complete story. But seems awfully skimpy.
CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE DEATH OF CAPTAIN AMERICA OMNIBUS HC
Written by ED BRUBAKER
Penciled by STEVE EPTING, MIKE PERKINS, BUTCH GUICE, ROBERTO DE LA TORRE & LUKE ROSS
Cover by STEVE EPTING
Leaping from the final pages of Civil War, this is the story that stunned readers, sent shockwaves through the entire Marvel Universe and made news headlines worldwide! And the death of Captain America is only the beginning! In the aftermath of the fabled hero’s assassination, Agent 13, Bucky Barnes, the Falcon, Black Widow and Iron Man come together again in a desperate attempt to keep his dream alive. But the collapse of Steve Rogers’ dream was merely the first step in the wicked machinations of the Red Skull, who is determined to see the death of America follow soon after the death of the Captain. As the Skull's master plan kicks into motion, and chaos begins to take hold of the United States, only one man stands in its way – but is he up to the task? Freed from the psychosis that transformed him into the relentless mercenary known as the Winter Soldier, Bucky Barnes is called on to live up to the dream in ways he never imagined. Eisner Award-winning writer Ed Brubaker refuses to let up on the action, suspense and human drama in a tale of suspense that ties together all eras of the star-spangled warrior’s history! Collecting CAPTAIN AMERICA #25-42.

Re: Marvel Omnibuses you'd like to see
The last Captain America Omni was almost 750 pages, so this new one is more than 250 pages shorter, for the same price. Definitely skimpy.

Re: Marvel Omnibuses you'd like to see
I may get it if I can get it at the same price I got the first Omni (under $40). At least it's not $100 like Secret Wars 1. Maybe they'll add something extra, they did that on a couple of other books I think, where they added some extra items after the first announcement. Like a What If... or some scripts, artwork, etc.

Re: Marvel Omnibuses you'd like to see
Seems like a bunch of the Marvel trades I've gotten recently have been filled with... well, filler. The latest Nova trade collected less issues than the others... 4 instead of 6, with the a special added to pad the page count (the special was basically a reprint of nova 1 and 3 from the 70's). The latest X-men Legacy trade collected 4 issues plus a bunch of specials to pad the pages.

Re: Marvel Omnibuses you'd like to see
The most filler I've ever seen in a trade was for the big Civil War trade - it's over-sized like an Omnibus, but literally half the book is the mini-series printed a 2nd time, only with commentary form the creators throughout. It's sorta like having a 2-disc dvd set, with the 2nd disc being only commentary (or PIP commentary) and being charged double for that.

Re: Marvel Omnibuses you'd like to see
I'd like to see Kirby's 2001 and Machine Man collected. Even the non-Kirby issues of MM would be nice.
There's 10 or so issues of 2001, 20 or so MM, the 4 issue MM mini-series by Trimpe & Smith. That's good for an omni.
