I wish the Punisher comic by Ennis/Dillon would have been reprinted in the Marvel Knights omnibus of their run. I think I left my copy in the case when I sold it.

Transformers Prime Season One has a "limited edition" set that comes with a prequel comic.

Re: List of comic books included with DVDs/BDs/etc
The Maze Runner BD came with an original prequel comic
Dawn of the Dead Ultimate Edition DVD came with the first issue of the adaptation
Are we including digital copies? Like how X-Men: First Class came with a digital download of an original comic (The High Hand)

I'm torn on this. Part of me loves being able to get content that I missed; but when I go out of my way and sometimes pay a premium to get 'exclusive' content, I want it to stay exclusive and hate to see it made available later.

I know that the Best Buy version of Todd McFarlane's Spawn: 10th Anniversary Edition (the HBO animated series) included a mini-comic reprint of Spawn #1.
Turns out the Hellboy 2 minicomic consists of reprints: http://www.comicbookdb.com/issue.php?ID=148854

Thanks for the updates Red Hood . And needless to say, if anyone ever feels like selling any promo or FCBD sort of comics, those are areas where my OCD collecting will likely always continue.

Re: List of comic books included with DVDs/BDs/etc
Obviously one must own two of each, one on the media shelves, and one in the comic boxes!
But more seriously, I finally decided that all promo comics get filed in their own box(es). My collection is an unorganized jumble right now, but once I’m done I figure I’ll have a couple boxes of FCBD books, one HalloweenFest, and at least one “other”. I also plan to have my signed books in a separate box, and then one box for all my high priced books. So if I had to flee in a fire or somesuch, I might be able to grab the valuable and rare stuff quickly. Or more likely, make it easy for thieves.
