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.

Re: Upcoming Marvel Omnibus Releases
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?)

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.

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
This volume collects 1st Issue Special #8, Warlord #1-50, and Amazing World of DC Comics #12.

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
Can a mod just change this thread to all Omnibus releases instead of just Marvel? Seems silly to create a new thread.
Anyway, I just caught wind of this release and it is a must buy for me. It was basically at the peak of my comic book collecting plus you have John Byrne at the helm when he was at the top of his DC skills...

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.
