[TomSlick]

Marvel's May solicits continue to save me money.

[Rimmer]

Marvel's May solicits continue to save me money.

Agreed. And no surprises here, thanks to early Amazon fish. But I believe we're all caught up with what we knew, so bring on new Amazon fish/new Hatchette material!!

[Diamond]

Okay, so they reprint the first issue of Steve Gerber's Foolkiller for a crap Omnibus, yet they won't publish the entire series in a TPB or HC. Thanks, Marvel. Go @#¢∞ yourself.

[Balakin]

I just can't belive that 90's firsts omni is happening. Initially I thought it's gonna be a 300-350pg long tpb and that's it, but nooooooo....1200pg omnibus hc. Because it gonna sell like crazy. NOT!

[CrazyOldHermit]

Confused that the September HCs weren't included like they said they would. Daredevil Vol 9 should have been solicited.

[TomSlick]

Agreed. And no surprises here, thanks to early Amazon fish. But I believe we're all caught up with what we knew, so bring on new Amazon fish/new Hatchette material!!

I always forget what's what. So far, it hasn't been a strong 2015 in Marvel books for me anyway.

[Dr Strange]

I just can't belive that 90's firsts omni is happening. Initially I thought it's gonna be a 300-350pg long tpb and that's it, but nooooooo....1200pg omnibus hc. Because it gonna sell like crazy. NOT!

The only good thing about it is that if I run out of toilet paper, the omnibus paper will make a great alternative. The only thing I may consider buying is the Ms Marvel OHC

[Dark-Flux]

Id be interested in the Ultimate Marvel Omnibus if i thought it would continue with future volumes. But i cant help but feel this is a one off.

[Balakin]

The only good thing about it is that if I run out of toilet paper, the omnibus paper will make a great alternative. The only thing I may consider buying is the Ms Marvel OHC

I have a bit tighter toiler paper budget but suit yourself On the other hand, Ms Marvel is a must buy for me!

[Dr Strange]

I have a bit tighter toiler paper budget but suit yourself On the other hand, Ms Marvel is a must buy for me!

I'll probably get Ms Marvel.

I just bought fantastic four volume 1 by Kirby, will buy volume 2 in April and then volume 3 when it comes out in May. Does volume 3 complete Kirbys run?

[Mighty Roman]

Agree with whoever said the Wolverine is good. It's basically Wolverine going off on his own after Nitro. (good stuff!)
I remember thinking the Black Panther stuff was inessential but good.
The Fantastic Four stuff was similar to the Amazing Spider-Man stuff (even shared a few scenes IIRC)

The Captain America stuff was good in so far as it continues Brubaker's narrative on the series, but I thought it was pretty worthless as a contribution to Civil War. (Except #25)

Peter Parker: Spider-Man was actually not running during Civil War, they just gave that name to the TPB that collected Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man and Sensational (or was it Spectacular?) Spider-Man. I didn't find that those issues brought much to the Civil War storyline. They were focused on Peter dealing with the fallout from his decision.

Thanks for the help. So Civil War: Peter Parker collects both Friendly neighbourhood and Spectacular? I thought that it only collected the Spectacular issues.

[victorxd1999]

I'll probably get Ms Marvel.

I just bought fantastic four volume 1 by Kirby, will buy volume 2 in April and then volume 3 when it comes out in May. Does volume 3 complete Kirbys run?

No it leaves out about 5 issues if I'm not mistaken.
