Re: Upcoming Marvel Omnibus Releases
Marvel is now doing their omniboo digitally as well so I’ll probably pick up June 1962 that way. I like the concept but don’t have space for a physical version of a title that’s kind of a novelty,

Now that Marvel has ROM's rights for the moment, some are clamoring for them to reprint a couple collected editions for other titles which had to cut out any ROM guest appearances.

I think that would be a bit of a mess, though. Were there any omnibuses that had notable exclusions where it wouldn't just make more sense to include it in the ROM omnibus instead?

I don't think there's been omnis, but I know the second Power Man and Iron Fist epic had to skip 73

I’m in for Micronauts. I remember it being an uneven series back in the day (I was meh about going to regular-size Earth), but I liked a lot of it, and it’s been in limbo for so long.

It might be the rose-colored glasses of nostalgia but I still think the first 12 issues are fantastic. It gets a bit rocky at points afterward, but I still love the series overall. After the first 12 issues of Michael Golden, you get great work by guys like Pat Broderick, Gil Kane, Steve Ditko, Jackson Guice, and Kelly Jones. I have every issue of both the original & New Voyages series but will pick up the Omnibus anyway.

I think being in their own little corner of the Marvel Universe helped them too, it really did feel like Star Wars or some sci-fi epic instead of just tiny heroes in the Marvel Universe (which it became and was where I started to lose interest). I feel the same about Starlin's stuff like Warlock too.

I just received Dr Strange Omnibus 1 (second printing) today from Amazon and it didnt have a slip cover.
I wasn't about to send it back but is there a way to get a replacement cover?

Re: Upcoming Marvel Omnibus Releases
I can dig why folks would want Marvel to reprint omnibuses and Epic collections with skipped issues because rights issues.
Nothing I care about, but it really sucks when you can't have a complete reprint of something because they contain characters the publisher no longer as the rights to.
I'd love to have a nice omnibus collection of Warren Ellis' Stormwatch #37-50, Stormwatch v2 #1-11, WildCATS vs Aliens, and Authority v1 #1-12.

It's gotta suck for the people who have already bought the omnibus though. Plus I'd think if you were that anal about it people would be rebuying omnibus's just to have matching covers when they change them (wait do people do that?)
