I'm not one of these super anal types who will refuse to buy a book because the spine doesn't match, but I'm pretty sure just about every X-Men omnibus has been reprinted at least once (and in some cases more than once) in the 11 years I've been waiting for this particular book. It just feels like a giant kick in the crotch from Marvel. I get it when they change the paper or the binding or when they switched from cloth covers to laminated covers. I may not always like it, but I understand the economic realities of the business. However, changing the spine art doesn't save them money, and these books rarely make it to bookstores, so shelf appeal isn't really a concern either. I don't get it. Why rock the boat? *edit to add photo* Spoiler:

Re: Upcoming Marvel Omnibus Releases
I still have the original printing...sealed in plastic. Never got around to opening it, lol. Like you, I loathe how both Marvel and DC love changing the trade dress on reprints unless something has been altered or corrected.

*Edit* Apparently this change started last spring with Defenders vol.1, but for some reason the Wolverine vol.2 book that I bought in August had the old spine art. Stupid. |
Re: Upcoming Marvel Omnibus Releases
I'm in the process of moving. I've really slowed down by omnibus buying in the past 6 or so years but even so, it's so painful. Thinking of getting rid of a bunch of my non omnibus tpbs, especially ones like the Byrne visionaries that I have in omnibus form, but other than giving it away or pulping them I have no idea what to do. Do libraries take this stuff?

Re: Upcoming Marvel Omnibus Releases
I was complaining before about the Spider-Man omnibuses not truly going through and including all appearances or hoping they would intersect Peter Parker Spectacular and Web Of SM into these but now it appears they are going to at least release them in separate volumes eventually.
PPTSSM Volume 1 Omnibus got announced for a September 27, 2022 release date: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon....4,203,200_.jpg |
Re: Upcoming Marvel Omnibus Releases
That's exactly what I hoped they would do.
|
Re: Upcoming Marvel Omnibus Releases
I've already got all 4 Marvel Masterworks of Spectacular Spider-Man. I'm just glad to be able to get this title in HC collections. (Like many other titles, at a certain point in the 80's I don't find the comics as good, so I'd be good with Epic Collections, but for Spectacular that would be AFTER Gerry Conway's run.)

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,
|
Re: Upcoming Marvel Omnibus Releases
Ah!
Micronauts Omnibus coming next year. After not having rights to those characters, this omni is kind of a big deal! |
Re: Upcoming Marvel Omnibus Releases
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.

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

Re: Upcoming Marvel Omnibus Releases
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.

Re: Upcoming Marvel Omnibus Releases
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.

Re: Upcoming Marvel Omnibus Releases
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

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. |

Re: Upcoming Marvel Omnibus Releases
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?)

Re: Upcoming Marvel Omnibus Releases
There was a decent bit of discussion for the new DC Versus Marvel Omnibus so I thought I would post the link to this fun article here by DC. It goes through all the DC/Marvel crossovers and gives winners. Spoiler alert - Marvel wins but I will let you read how DC arrived at that surprising decision. This is on the matchups between the heroes in the stories and not a quality of story discussion.
DC vs. Marvel: The Score | DC And I am posting this cover just because of love the retro look of Steve Rude's art. https://static.dc.com/2024-11/202411...lkSuperman.jpg |

My DC/Marvel omniboo arrived yesterday :dance:

Re: Upcoming Marvel Omnibus Releases
Got mine in today from IST.
I swear they make packing books for mail a damn art form. It is so meticulous and impressive. |
Re: Upcoming Marvel Omnibus Releases
I know this is a Marvel Thread but I didn't think we needed a separate DC thread. Maybe a mod can change the title and make it an any company Omnibus thread?
Anyway, I think this was mentioned a while back but can't remember if there was a date. But now we have a release date and I might have to get this even though I have them all digitally: CheapGraphicNovels.com > WARLORD BY MIKE GRELL OMNIBUS VOL 01 HC (PRE-ORDER COMING SOON!) Release date 11-25-2025 https://cheapgraphicnovels.com/var/i...1799505525.jpg This volume collects 1st Issue Special #8, Warlord #1-50, and Amazing World of DC Comics #12. |
Re: Upcoming Marvel Omnibus Releases
Pre-orders do matter to Marvel and DC. While I think Warlord is safe, low pre-sales often delay an omnibus' release.

Re: Upcoming Marvel Omnibus Releases
Just bought my brother a couple omni's for his birthday, Star Wars Crimson Reign, and Death and Return of Superman.

Only a problem really if your brother plans to collect all the Triangle Years omnibuses. |
Re: Upcoming Marvel Omnibus Releases
Can a mod just change this thread to all Omnibus releases instead of just Marvel? Seems silly to create a new thread.

Re: Upcoming Marvel Omnibus Releases
^ Nice. I’ve had that LEGENDS book in various carts for a while now. I’ve had a paperback edition for years now. I’ve mentioned in a different thread that Perez and Byrne were the two artists who influenced my own love of drawing (alongside other people in my life of course). I never followed characters in all my years of (modest) collecting. I followed them (and dabbled occasionally with books by a few other artists with distinct styles). If they switched from one comic to another, so did I. I have three smaller Byrne Superman hardcovers that came out a few years back, and I bought them figuring that his run would get a more dedicated treatment eventually. As I recall, those other three books have more stories from the various tiles in the line (while this only has MAN OF STEEL 1-6) and therefore stuff by different artists as you get into the second and third volumes (especially Jerry Ordway, who was pretty good himself), but this new book is just the Byrne miniseries. I do wish they’d just do an omnibus of his work on those titles, but I guess that’s a long way off, if ever. Definitely in for this at a good price.

Re: The Upcoming Omnibus Release Thread
Head's up if you only care about the Legends mini-series - it was included last year in Ostrander's Suicide Squad omnibus which can be had under $60. I don't have a problem with Legends though that event omnibus smacks of a book you'll eventually see hovering around $50. The only interesting crossover I see listed is that Cosmic Boy mini. Where is the Baxter Legion omnibus!!!!
My understanding on Man of Steel is it's hitting an Absolute edition first because DC wants to amortize the restoration expenses for Byrne's entire Superman run before issuing them in omnibuses. I'll probably pass on the Absolute and wait for the Byrne omnibus likely coming in 2027/2028. I already own the 4 volume hardcovers. |
Re: The Upcoming Omnibus Release Thread
I love Byrne's X-Men and FF but the other stuff is from when I was out of comics.
I did get the Grell Warlord, which is something I've been waiting for a long time. It's light as a feather because of the paper they used, which I'm fine with. I'm less impressed with the tight binding that is not great for two-page spreads and some text. |
Re: The Upcoming Omnibus Release Thread
A couple of weeks back, Hamilton Book sent out an email plugging some upcoming Omnibus editions to their inventory, and it looks like most went up with this week’s new items. I find some of their Omnibus pricing is way too close to retail pricing elsewhere, but many of these new arrivals are priced in the $35 - $65 range (with some still upwards of $90+), which feels more appropriate considering the nature of their business:

Not bad pricing but a newer seller on eBay is carrying many of the same omnibuses for cheaper. Funaticals is a charity out of California who picked up a ton of Marvel stock leftover from Diamond and is selling the overstock at rock-bottom prices. There is no real catch using them as I've ordered like 10 omnibuses from them and received everything in new condition. Some of the prices almost feel like stealing.
