The Upcoming Omnibus Release Thread
 

Amazing Spider-Man Omnibus Vol. 1 (April 2007)
Fantastic Four Omnibus Vol. 2 (Summer 2007)
Silver Surfer Omnibus (Summer 2007)

I've got Uncanny X-Men Vol. 1 and Fantastic Four Vol 1. coming in the mail and can't wait for the Miller Daredevil Omnibus next month. :up:

Sorry for a dumb question, but what is an omnibus? Is this a hardcover? I am most interested in the Amazing Spiderman...

These are oversized hardcover releases. Here's the Spider-Man information from Marvel.com:

The Story: In 1962, in the pages of a comic book slated for cancellation, Stan Lee and Steve Ditko gave birth to one of the most-enduring icons in American popular media: the one and only Amazing Spider-Man! Turning the concept of a super hero on its head, they imbued the young, guilt-ridden Peter Parker with the fantastic powers of an arachnid and the fantastic pressures of an everyday teenager. The combination was pure magic.

During the course of 40 issues of web-slinging, wisecracking wonderment Lee and Ditko built the foundation for 45 years of Spidey spectaculars — girl trouble; bill trouble; bully trouble; the Daily Bugle; and a cast friends, family and, of course, super-villains unlike any other!

Completing the entire Stan Lee/Steve Ditko Spider-Man run in one massive volume —including every page, every pinup and every letters column. Not to mention unused covers, critical essays and bonuses galore!

We went back to the Mighty Marvel Archive to restore each and every page in this volume for painstaking accuracy to the originals. There’s no kidding — this collector’s edition is the guaranteed be-all, end-all book for the Spider-Man fan!

Collecting AMAZING FANTASY #15, AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #1-38 and ANNUAL #1-2, STRANGE TALES ANNUAL #2, and FANTASTIC FOUR ANNUAL #1.

These books are way too big. I buy them. I love them. But man, they're huge. I wish they'd make two hardcovers and put 'em in a slip case instead of one giant book.

Richard, where did you get the Uncanny one? I'm still looking for one, but was hoping for a decent price.

I managed to win a sealed copy on eBay for $76.00. The seller has another auction that ends tonight with a current bid of $56.00.

I saw a few Spiderman Omnibus on Ebay for 69.99 buy it now. I also noticed a cover price of 99.99 for this book, can I assume this will be full color not like those lame B&W reprints Marvel has been putting out lately? I have to agree with the above statement..I am not a big fan of these huge books, too bulky to sit back and read in bed...

Yep, these are in color.

Are they printed on decent quality paper?

I agree. I got the Alias one and it looks great, but too hard to read.

They will be mine! Especially Spidey and FF vol. 2.

I like these Omnibus (Omnibi?) books because they include the original letter columns. A few of the letters were even written by fans who later worked for Marvel.

And to Shiv Shankly, yeah these books are printed on quality paper.

These will probably be 40% off at DCBS. I was thinking of getting the Spiderman one.

As large as these books are, isn't it likely that the binding will fail and they'll fall apart?

Especially if they are printed on glossy paper.

I think they just moved to sewn bindings, so that's help. But even with the ones I do have (FF, New X) I haven't seen a problem.

'Cause they're so huge you aren't able to actually read them? -wink-

:lol:

That's true, I haven't read them, which certainly helps the spine stay together.

Seems cool, I would love a (Ditko) Doctor Strange one.

Anyone seen the new Daredevil Omnibus Variant cover? Looks sweeeeeeet. The "half a cover" thing means I won't be able to BroDart the thing, but that's okay when the book looks as cool as it does.

I have the Visionaries TPBs already but those extras are pretty tempting.

Can't say I've thought about Hembeck in a while...

That variant cover looks interesting, but I've got a problem with things not looking the same on the shelf, so I'll probably go with the regular version.

Is FF vol. 2 confirmed?

According to marvelmasterworks.com.

I just got volume 1 in the mail last week and have been reading it this past weekend. I had a few Masterworks volumes years ago, but I forgot how much fun it was to read these old stories.

The Spiderman omnibus is up for order at DCBS for 50% off. I think I may have to grab it.

Are they pretty good a packaging or are they like Amazon and just throw it loose in a box with a couple plastic bubbles?

They pack the boxes with alot of popcorn. I ordered a sculpture once and everything was packed well.

DCBS is great at packaging. lots of little peanuts.

I think I'll give them a try with the Spiderman Omnibus. Thanks!

Re: Upcoming Marvel Omnibus Releases
 

^Damn. Might have to get that! I loved that run and the art in it.

I just got three new omnibuses in my hot little hands yesterday: The Amazing Spider-Man Volume 4, Spider-Man by John Byrne & Classic X-Men. Was given Marvel Universe by John Byrne Volume 2 for X-mas so I am looking pretty good right now.

I really want the Savage Sword of Conan and regular Conan omnibuses but damn it gets expensive and they take up a lot of space. I have them all digital but there is something addictive about these omnibus releases!

Re: Upcoming Marvel Omnibus Releases
 

I love Peter David’s Hulk. Haven’t re-read it, but it was a lynchpin of my monthly buying for years, sometimes the only book that kept me in mainstream Marvel. But I might try to skip this one. I own all the singles and can’t imagine selling them. Own it all digitally too. And no more room!

Re: Upcoming Marvel Omnibus Releases
 

I just got Thor by Walt Simonson over the weekend from IST.

The big news and one I'm getting is the reprint of Wolverine Vol.1 in April! It's been OOP for 10 years.
​​​​​
Hopefully, Vol 2 is released in the future.

Re: Upcoming Marvel Omnibus Releases
 

Near Mint Condition broke the news that Marvel will reprint these at the end of 2020

Uncanny X-men Vol 2
Uncanny X-Men Vol 3
X-Men Vol 1
​​​​​X-Men Vol 2
Infinity Gauntlet
New Warriors Vol 1

It's awesome news for everyone that missed out on these the 1st time. The secondary market is crazy for some of these, so glad they are coming back.


Marvel is Conan is also releasing an omnibus for the Dark Horse period. Im sure they will print it in the Marvel Omnibus style.

Re: Upcoming Marvel Omnibus Releases
 

X-Men vol.1! Nice! That's the only one from that list I don't have. I think the original printing came out in 2006. Pretty sure that is the longest gap between reprintings of any marvel omnibus.

I'm surprised new warriors is coming back. That one could be had on clearance for 25 bucks for a looong time before it went oop. Is that series getting rebooted? I can't imagine why they'd bother reprinting.

Re: Upcoming Marvel Omnibus Releases
 

Mother effer. It's not X-Men (silver age series) Vols. 1 & 2 that are being reprinted, it's X-Men by Claremont and Lee Vols. 1 & 2, both of which I already have.

Re: Upcoming Marvel Omnibus Releases
 

Very excited for Infinity Gauntlet as I started collecting omnibuses after that went OOP.

Re: Upcoming Marvel Omnibus Releases
 

And here are the NEW (non-reprint) Omnibus books coming out at the end of 2020...

1. Venominbus Vol 3
2. Thanos: The Infinity Saga
3. War of Realms
4. Excalibur
5. Moon Knight
6. Marvel Horror Lives Again
7. Incredible Hulk by Peter David Vol 2
8. Savage Sword of Conan - The Original Marvel Years Vol 4
9. Infinity Crusade
10. Conan the Barbarian - The Original Marvel Years Vol 5
11. Marvel Cosmic Universe by Donny Cates Vol 1
12. Kull
13. Thunderbolts
14. New Mutants
15. X-Men Vol 4


No way they'll be as great at the Colossal Conan books Dark Horse put out - the first one, especially, is insane - not just bigger than any Omnibus page-wise, but just bigger sized tomes - a pain in the ass, sure, but serves the material really well!

https://i.ytimg.com/vi/SAtyQLV_01M/maxresdefault.jpg

I only have the one on the left - the other two literally sold out within hours of going on sale and were triple the price the day after!

Re: Upcoming Marvel Omnibus Releases
 

Have you read the silver age material before? Especially the vol. 2 issues before the Adams run?

Re: Upcoming Marvel Omnibus Releases
 

I feel kind of stupid for not selling my sealed X-Men omnibuses before this announcement. Marvel had gone so long without reprinting them.

Re: Upcoming Marvel Omnibus Releases
 

If it's any consolation, the early printings have better/thicker paper and are preferable to the re-prints - usually, sometimes the re-prints have better spines and the pages are stitched in addition to glued.

Re: Upcoming Marvel Omnibus Releases
 

Yes. They're mostly terrible. But I have every X-Men omnibus starting with vol.2 all the way through Age of Apocalypse and I'd like to complete the set.

Re: Upcoming Marvel Omnibus Releases
 

I stopped getting the Conan and Savage Sword omniboo after one volume each because of space issues, but I might get sucked into the Kull.
