I think the Doctor Doom starts about 190, with Sue moving to Hollywood but getting abducted. #200 is the "big" special with Von Doom Jr. on the cover having all four powers.

I'd stick the unfinished Galactus story from EI in there, too.

Marvel doesn't even want that in the Visionaries Trades! It would be great in Volume 0. I remember reading it at the drug store. I was afraid to ask my mom to buy me an Epic comic!

So how about 2 Byrne FF Omnis - and 1 Byrne Thing Omni - issue #50 of Two In One has been reprinted so much, but I still would like to see issue #100 together with it. I remember getting that floppy at the comic store. I had bought issue #50 years before and never gotten another issue of Two in One for whatever reasons until issue #100.

the Tomb of Dracula will be released as an Omnibus in December, I believe.

For myself, I'd love to see a Man-Thing Omnibus.

It's not out now? I thought I saw it on my DCBS shipping list.

EDIT: Just checked, it's there!

If by "December", you mean "now", then yes, it's out in December... (saw it at my comic book store a few days ago)

I bet you would...

Just to let you guys know, things from another world ( www.tfaw.com ) had a few omnibuses ( omnibi ? ) on sale in their "nick-and-dent" section. I picked up the Amazing Spiderman Omnibus for 49.99, the Daredevil omnibus for 49.99 and the Silver Surfer Omnibus for 37.50. It is killing me, but you rarely see deals on these anywhere...

There is an Iron Man Omnibus still on there for 49.99 if anyone is interested.

Good deals . . .

I ordered both omnis at DCBS this month and only 5 floppies . . . I think this is the way I'm going to be going for awhile with comic prices.

I see the X-men omni is only 49.99 from them, I have never used them before, they don't charge your card until right before they ship correct?

Negative on that. You are paying for it in advance. So for this month's previews (Nov 2008 for items that begin to ship on Jan 2009), you can place an order until the end of the month. I don't get charged for this until the last week of next month (Dec 2008). Items begin to arrive on January (assuming they are on time - most are not) and will be included in your Feb 2008 shipment (which arrives 1st week of February). Since I order monthly, any late books get included in the following month's shipment. If you place a 1-time order then they won't ship it to you until all items arrive.

an update...

the 3 omnis came today, I have ordered from tfaw's nick and dent before and the books have almost no flaws and were still sealed. These ones had been obviously read, and a atleast 2 of the corners on each book are marked up. I don;t care, because I'm just gonna read them, and put them on my shelf to be read again later, but i know some people would be upset with their condition, so i figured i would toss out a heads up...

I want an X-Statix omnibus. I've already got the X-Force hardcover, so I don't need that included, but I wouldn't mind.

Correction, that's issue 199. 200 is the Jack Kirby Mr. Fantastic versus Doctor Doom cover with a yellow background.

This was back in the era (1976-78) where Reed lost his powers (177), they fight the Frightful Four with the Brute (Reed Richards from Counter-Earth) as a new member (177-83) and team up with Annihilus, deal with Salem's Seven and Klaw and the Molecule Man (184-188), the team breaks up (191) and has solo adventures for a couple of issues (192-197), Reed gets his powers back (thanks to Doom!) and Reed vows that this would be the team's last fight with Doom.

That was a great time for the FF - I'm hoping some of those issues see the light of day in a trade paperback at least. I know some of the issues are in the Perez Visionaries, but because some other artists (Sal Buscema and Keith Pollard) came in, the story lines are incomplete.

Since I have little self-control, I picked up the new Punisher Omni (broke my back doing so - the thing is heavy), actually, ordered online at almost half off retail. Anyhoo, even though I have half the books collected here, I'm glad I got this, even simple art like Dillon's looks better blown up with remastered colors. If you even remotely like either Garth Ennis or the Punisher and you haven't read his Punisher run, I highly recommend this book.

I would look forward to an Avengers Omnibus - there were enough Masterworks volumes that came out so we could easily have this put together. I'd also like to see a Defenders Omnibus, but that's so remote that I could live with a TPB collection instead.

I'm hoping to get mine soon. I was able to sell my individual issues for more than the cost of the omnibus, so I'm pretty happy.

i had considered getting the punisher omnibus but considering i already have all of the oversized hardcovers, i wasn't sure it was worth the upgrade, considering i read a couple of the trades after the HC's and wasn't too impressed.

Don't know if you guys have heard yet, but someone on the Masterworks board did an "Amazon fish" and there's a listing for a Brubaker Daredevil Omnibus.

<------- sick of Daredevil Omnibuses for a while . . .

Though I have to say re: Defenders, I really loved the series until the later stages of Essentials 3. I had stopped reading the book by then so it wasn't nostalgic, and the "new" stuff didn't really grab me. But still, it'd be great to have those in color.

Am I missing something with the pricing of the Secret Wars Omnibus it's $100 and only has 500 pages; while Captain America is $75 and has almost 750 pages? Didn't know if there was any real reason to this or Marvel just throws whatever price on their stuff they want.

Also Wolverine is listed now on DCBS has about 1,000 pages. With these Omnibuses I'm spending less than I use to on comics in a month and getting more issues. I try not to ever spend more than $2 for a comic, that was my cut off point.

Hearing complaints all over the place about this. Doubt Marvel will change anything at this point.

ULTIMATES BY MARK MILLAR & BRYAN HITCH OMNIBUS HC
Written by MARK MILLAR
Penciled by BRYAN HITCH & STEVE DILLON
Cover by BRYAN HITCH
Is even an Omnibus big enough to contain Millar and Hitch's widescreen super-hero epic?! They are the greatest heroes the world has ever known: Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, the Wasp, Giant Man, Hawkeye, the Black Widow, Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch! Brought together by Nick Fury, head of the elite espionage agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D., the Ultimates are Earth's last line of defense against a rising storm of strange new threats to humanity -- menaces such as the rampaging monster known as the Hulk, and an army of shape-shifting aliens bent on destroying the world and killing all humankind. But just as they begin to get comfortable in their roles as international celebrities and America's champions, things get hard! Can the Ultimates survive the Hulk's execution, Thor's imprisonment -- and the advent of the Ultimate Defenders?! The world's greatest heroes are in for the battle of the century -- and not all of them will be walking away! Collecting ULTIMATES #1-13, ULTIMATES 2 #1-13, ULTIMATES ANNUAL #1 and ULTIMATES 2 #1 VARIANT SKETCH EDITION.

Orphaned as a child and raised in the lost city of K'un-Lun, Danny Rand returned to America as the mystical martial artist Iron Fist - but all his kung-fu skills can't help him find his place in the modern world. After learning the hard way that the centuries-spanning legacy of the Iron Fist holds more secrets than he ever dreamed possible, Danny is ushered to the fabled city of K'un-Lun to fight in a tournament against the Immortal Weapons of the Seven Capital Cities of Heaven. It is a round of games that occurs every 88 years as the different cities connect together on the same mystical plane. At stake is the life of his friend, the legacy of his father and mentor, and the future of K'un-Lun. And despite the awesome new powers and knowledge granted to him by the mysterious Orson Randall, will Danny be ready when the tournament calls his name? Plus: There have been sixty-six men and women to carry the mantle of the Immortal Iron Fist. Witness their story in The Book of the Iron Fist.

DAREDEVIL BY ED BRUBAKER & MICHAEL LARK OMNIBUS VOL. 1 HC
Written by ED BRUBAKER
Penciled by MICHAEL LARK, STEFANO GAUDIANO, DAVID AJA, LEE WEEKS, MARKO DJURDJEVIC, JOHN ROMITA SR., GENE COLAN, BILL SIENKIEWICZ, ALEX MALEEV & LEE BERMEJO
Cover by MARKO DJURDJEVIC
Longtime DD fans will not be disappointed as the critically acclaimed, award-winning creative team of Ed Brubaker and Michael Lark leave their mark on one of comics' most enduring legends! For the past few years, Matt Murdock's life has been teetering on the edge of destruction. Now, pushed beyond the limit, he finds himself behind the eight ball with no clear way out, the people he calls friends slowly deserting him, and Hell's Kitchen gradually slipping out of control. The question is, when his back is against the wall, just how far will Daredevil go to get back what is his? And if you think Matt's life is going to start getting simpler after that, think again! As he tries to find a way to move forward, a threat from his past begins to creep toward daylight. And with the post-Civil War fallout all around him, he finds himself fighting a battle on both fronts of his life: in the courtroom and on the rooftops of Hell's Kitchen! Nominated for three Eisner Awards - Best Continuing Series, Best Writer and Best Penciler-Inker Team! Collecting DAREDEVIL #82-105.
608 PGS./Rated T+ ...$74.99
ISBN: 978-0-7851-3785-6

And I know the $75 prices are going to continue to piss off Secret Wars Vol 1 buyers and non-buyers alike. Maybe Jim Shooter gets some major royalties on that one?
