    This is a rough one. Pretty sure 55-73 would all be double dips from other OHC/Omnis, and 74-85 would just be an upgrade from the Curse Of The Valkyries Epic. But then, it contains my favorite era of...

    I really enjoyed it, and put in a preorder for the omnibus as soon as I finished reading it. Helps if you've read the Young Avengers titles, since the key figure and relationship stems from those...

    Out of print, weren't in print very long compared to other books released at the time, and a popular and important run.

    Also, Hickman is very much a long game writer who's work benefits from...

    It’s second nature for a lot of comics readers, unfortunately. Goes hand in hand with the collecting aspect.

    I admit I was an X-Men omnibus/OHC completist for years. What finally broke me of that...

    I’m a huge Bendis Marvel fan, but his Guardians run did little for me. It was an okay read on Marvel Unlimited, but nothing worth spending omnibus money on.

    Abnett & Lanning is tricky. It’s a...

    That, plus how long it’s been OOP. I started buying omnis back in 2012, and at that point Vol 1 was already selling for $200 on eBay. So even a lot of old school collectors never had a chance at that...

    Did the Empyre omnibus get pushed back or did I remember the release date wrong? I thought my TOW preorder said it was shipping today, now it says august.

    It's currently $60 again after going up to $90 for a while. I know the condition of books from Amazon can be iffy, but I've had to order a few omnis from them recently and all arrived fine. Probably...

    Yeah, that one really lingered. Definitely hit clearance shelves. I would honestly be weary of buying that off eBay for fear of a surprise remainder mark.

    DCBS also dropped some preorders. Weird. David 90’s X-Factor and Empyre omnis both appear to be delisted. Regular covers are still available for preorder from Amazon, so it doesn’t look like they...

    Doubtful. They’ve just broken into volume 5s for the first time so 6 feels like a stretch. Plus it would be a complete double dip at that point. May as well just reprint OHCs and omnis that already...

    Would’ve liked a Generation X omnibus, but I’ll take whatever collection I can get. And if it turns into a surprise omnibus double dip years from now like Excalibur, so be it.
