Coming very late to this party (since I just recently saw this post), but here are my choices for Omnis - note I know this list has already been compiled - but, since these are all wishful thinking anyway, here it is. Note most of these are for licensed material that will almost certainly never be reprinted - but, again, one can hope
:
-
ROM, Spaceknight - I'm obviously a ROM fan, and it's a shame that rights issues?! have tied up this
incredible series. What makes this even more egregious is that this ROM comic - though based on a toy - was essentially a MU character. I.e., Marvel created the back story, the dire wraiths, etc. Also, ROM was very much entrenched in the MU to the point that there were numerous Marvel guest stars in the series over the years. If a ROMnibus were to ever miraculously occur, the various Annuals, cross-overs, etc. should also be included here - especially since they were kept out of other reprints in the past (notably, I remember a
Power Man & Iron Fist Epic collection from several years back which didn't include a relevant ROM appearance, and that's just one example).
-
Micronauts - incredible series. This also hasn't been reprinted by Marvel in years (since the '80's), presumably also because of rights issues. Though the entire series is excellent, the early
Michael Golden-drawn issues are especially impressive.
-
King Conan: Though I know Marvel is Omni-busing (if that's a word) CTB & Savage Sword (b&w mag.), not sure whether KC will ever be Omnibused. If not, it should be. Great series!
-
Battlestar Galactica (1978-1980; Marvel) - because of rights issues, not sure if this will ever be Omnied either. However, this was a great series that - IMHO - was actually better than the TV show. Walt Simonson did some great early work towards the end of this series - but the whole series was well-done.
-Planet of the Apes b&w magazine (1970's) - Another company reprinted these recently, and I wasn't happy with the results. These CE's feature missing covers, missing pages, etc. Marvel really need to take this license back & give this great series the royal treatment. I.e., the magazines should be reprinted in their entirety, chronologically (not sure about the articles, though) with all of the covers, pages, etc. intact.
-
Godzilla (Marvel): This has never been reprinted in color, and should be.
-
Shogun Warriors (Marvel) - ditto
-
Red Sonja (Marvel) - not sure if Marvel has ever reprinted this series. Dynamite?! did some sub-par Trades years ago, but these were not that great.
-
Star Trek (Marvel, 1980-1982): This is a very underrated ST comic series, set after the events in ST: The Motion Picture - but, don't hold that against this series - LOL. This did get reprinted by another comic company years ago, but the reprints were sub-par & didn't appear to be remastered. So, it would be nice to get the series in a stand-alone Omni - reprinting all 18 issues.
-
The 'Nam - excellent war comic. The were three Trades in the early 20XX's, but they only reprinted a portion of the series. I would really like to see this series reprinted in it's entirety - and several Omnis would be the best way to do this.
