Looks like when something goes OOP they jack up the price.
Absolute Promethea vol. 1 is $179.99. (Cover price was $99.99.) |
Re: Marvel Omnibuses you'd like to see
When a back-issue floppy that was $1.50, cover-price goes up to $3, it doesn't seem like too big a deal. But when a $100 OoP book goes up to $200, it seems like highway robbery.

It sounds like it will be gorgeous. They are even doing the poster issue (where you could separate the pages and lay them out into a single giant 32-page long sequence) as a fold-out. This book will be huge, but amazing. It was originally due next month; it got delayed, but it is still in the pipeline as far as I know. MSRP $125, but you'll be able to get it cheaper via the usual sources.
http://www.bleedingcool.com/2013/07/...medium=twitter I do plan on getting the Immateria edition, though I am concerned about the production quality. If it's going to contain a lot of fold-outs (and one of them being SIXTEEN FEET long!) I fear that a lot of defects might creep into the books when they're being printed. I've already had a couple of Absolutes with defects... a creased corner of the inside flap of a dust jacket, improperly cut pages, etc. I kind of feel like a dick sending them back and getting replacements, but the fucking things are expensive and there's really no excuse for a carelessly put together $100 book. And, honestly, how the fuck are we supposed to read the book? A sixteen foot long fold out? Really? |

April:
The Uncanny X-Men Omnibus Volume 2 (912 pages) Uncanny X-Men #132-159 + Annual #4-5 + Bizarre Adventures #27 + Phoenix: The Untold Story #1 + Avengers Annual #10 Now, I really wish they would collect the first 4 trades of Classic New Mutants into an Omnibus which would include: Uncanny X-Men #167 Marvel Graphic Novel #4 New Mutants #1-34 and Annual #1 This takes them right up to the Asgardian Wars. |

Go search on eBay. I was including shipping in the discounted price. The less desirable Marvel Omnibuses seem to frequently get blown out by comic book dealers.
but I don't remember either annual storyline being worthy of such a massive collection, which is probably why nobody wants it... |

Coming out in March:
Infinity Companion 696 pages Uncanny X-Force by Rick Remender Omnibus 928 pages Golden Age Captain America Omnibus Volume 1 848 pages April: The Uncanny X-Men Omnibus Volume 2 (912 pages) Spider-Man by Roger Stern Omnibus (1249 pages) Punisher Max by Jason Aaron Omnibus (544 pages) X-Men: Age of Apocalypse Omnibus Companion (992 pages). Punisher for me Roger Stern's Spidey is a welcome bonus, though. That's the Spidey I grew up on. Hell, I have most of those issues bagged and boarded and I will still be buying it! |

I just searched my Amazon history and see that I bought the John Byrne Fantastic Four Omnibus when Amazon had the pre-order at 60% off. If I had waited it would be even cheaper (third party new) now. Still unopened. Doh! |
Re: Marvel Omnibuses you'd like to see
Release day is a good time to purchase omnibi. You can find them for 50% off at Cheap Graphic Novels and In Stock Trades. And while you can't be sure it'll happen Black Friday is usually a good time to find omnibi at great prices.

Here's a nice, concise list of all the Omnibuses that have been released and are coming soon and what they contain.
I like that he breaks down the prices per-page and per-issue (based on retail) for each book. |

Okay, I think this is a complete list of the Uncanny X-men issues that are in Omnibus sized collections, meaning they can sit next to omnibus on a shelf, not that they are as thick….I’ve been meaning to do this for my self for the Uncanny X-men, X-men (new X-men/Legacy), X-force, X-factor, and New Mutants just so I knew how much of it had been collected and what still needs collected.
I think I might have missed an oversized hardcover around the 500s, but im not sure, it seems like most of use are really just concerned about the pre-300 issues…I also don’t really count the Secret Wars Omnibus, because that is one I never picked up, so I still don’t have those issues collected. Looking at these, I am surprised there hasn’t been a new oversized collection of Days of Future past or present. Also missing are annuals 4-11 (12 was in the Evolutionary War Omnibus) and 14- 21….but that isn’t a big deal at this point either, I would actually prefer them included in the Omnis that they belong in, like the Evolutionary was and Atlantis attacks. Uncanny X-Men Omnibus vol. 01 – 1-31 Uncanny X-Men Omnibus vol. 02 – 32-66 67-93 - were reprints of earlier issue The Uncanny X-Men Omnibus vol. 1 – 94-131 + GS X-men 1 and Annual #3 (Annual 1&2 were just reprints) X-Men: Dark Phoenix Saga – 129-138 The Uncanny X-Men Omnibus vol. 2 – 132-153 + Annuals #4 & 5 154-171 - Missing Wolverine Omnibus – 172-173 174-195 - Missing Secret Wars II Omnibus – 196 197-201 – Missing Secret Wars II Omnibus – 202-203 204-209 – Missing X-Men: Mutant Massacre – 210-214 215-219 - Missing X-Men: Fall of the Mutants Omnibus – 220-227 X-Men Inferno Prologue – 228-238 X-Men: X-Tinction Agenda – 235-238 X-Men Inferno – 239-243 X-Men: Claremont/Lee Omnibus vol 01 – 244-269 + Annual # 13 Acts of Vengeance Omnibus – 256-258 X-Men: X-Tinction Agenda – 270-272 X-Men: Claremont/Lee Omnibus vol 02 –273-280 X-Men: Bishop's Crossing 281-293 X-Men: X-cutioner’s Song – 294-297 X-Men: Fatal Attraction - 298-305 X-Men: Phalanx Covenant - 306 307-310 - Missing X-Men: Phalanx Covenant - 311-314 X-Men: Fatal Attraction - 315 X-Men: Phalanx Covenant - 316-317 318-332 - Missing X-Men/Avengers: Onslaught Omnibus - 333-337 338-345 - Missing X-Men: Operation Zero Tolerance 346 347-474 - Missing Uncanny X-Men Rise and Fall of the Shi'ar Empire – 475-486 487-491 - Missing (because only the B-stories in 488-491 were collected) X-Men: Endangered Species – 488-491 (B stories) X-Men: Messiah Complex – 492-494 495-499 - Missing X-Men: Manifest Destiny – 500-503 504-512 - Missing Dark Avengers/Uncanny X-Men: Utopia - 513-514 X-Men: Nation X – 515-522 X-Men: Second Coming – 523-525 I added it to the list quoted above. it looks like there is room for an Uncanny X-men Omnibus #3 before they get to the few issues in the Wolverine Omnibus and then probable Omnibus #4 and #5 to cover the issues already included in the wolverine Omnibus / Secret Wars 2 Omnibus up to the mutant massacre. Even after that there are the few issues between the Mutant Massacre omnibus and Fall of the mutants and the few issues between Fall of the Mutants and Extinction Agenda. |
