Marvel Collected Editions

[mooch]

Yes, it is. He's talking about the omni collecting the forst appearance of the JLA and some other early adventures.

Ah, I was thinking of the this book. I forgot about that one...

[Near Mint]

Giant-Size Little Marvels: AVX being released as OHC or paperback? Seen it listed as both.

Looking at the Hachette catalogs, they show the TPB version targeted for October and the HC to follow in February. Two different catalogs, so I suppose the TPB could have been canceled and changed to HC instead - not certain.

I'm saying this here so there are witnesses to hold me to it: There are some major collecting guide updates on the way. There, I've said it.

Does the new Young Avengers by Gillen continue from YA: Children's Crusade or is it a totally new story? First time seeing the cover whenitmatter posted above n realised its almost the same team as the Heinberg one

The story does not continue immediately from there, but it does pick up Wiccan and Hulking's thread (which really had not been progressed elsewhere since then). However, it also picks up Loki after Journey Into Mystery, Ms. America Chavez after Vengeance, and Kate Bishop at some point prior or during her run in Fraction's Hawkeye. Plus, Marvel Boy from nowhere!

I really enjoyed Young Avengers, but it's Gillen in straight-up Phonogram / Wicked + Divine Mode with not as much mythology and superheroics as his JIM and Iron Man, respectively.

I think it's safe to consider the Complete Collections of Peter David's X-Factor as good as dead, right?

You never know - sometimes Marvel comes out of nowhere with a third volume of a seemingly dead series, as they did with Alpha Flight Classic. Heck, even Deadpool Classic paused for over a year between volumes!

I think if there was some major re-use of the core characters in that run we could see it, and Monet is going to be in Uncanny X-Men this fall. It could happen! (But, if you want to own the series, I wouldn't hold your breath.)

Thanks krisis for the insight. Another one added to the growing list of backlog need to hunt. And looking forward to that new guide too!

Same happened Spider-Man 2099, but the collections kind of stopped again. Just Omnibus it.

About Ellis, would you recommend his Excalibur?

I would. You can probably find the trades cheap online too.

RIGHT! Hopefully Marvel will now offer a sticker with the letters "In-" to place on the spine right next to "complete" in the same font as the published book's font--although, a matching font is probably more than we could hope for. :-/

I prefer to read in as much "order" as possible, but there is so much always going on in the MU that there is almost always one story affecting another. In my opinion it is usually the journey of the event I enjoy not the fallout, that is part of the journey of the next story. For instance not having read Schism prior to later arc's doesn't ruin the next one down the line, and for me doesn't create some terrible spoiler. I take the character situations as presented and if the situation intrigues me enough I will find out what storyline created the dynamic and then I will read it to see how they got where they are. Just my opinion, and yes I have read Schism just an example.

Then the only solution becomes obvious.

The Astonishing X-Men omni must be cut in twain, with House of M placed in the middle.

[Captain Planet]

Started in on Onslaught and I am in an unexpected heaven. As soon as I opened the book up and that new print smell hit me, with the mid 90s cartoony art, and it's like I'm in a comic shop browsing through the tpb section (the market for collected editions was much smaller then) deciding what new story to discover. I do miss browsing through the collected editions in a shop.

I got into comics for real in the mid-late 90s and opening up this book reminds of that time of discovery.

I've also started reading many of the tie-ins I'd never read and I am extremely surprised to find myself enjoying it. I'm going back over the last few months in my memory, trying to remember if I had any bad head injuries that would cause this. That's the problem with head injuries though, I probably wouldn't remember it anyway. Guess I'll just have to enjoy it.

Most likely gonna order the 3 superior spiderman ohc. How is the paper quality is it the standard ohc/ omni paper or the newer thin paper. And I assume the binding is the same marvel as always?

I think you're on to something, Cap. You must definitely be suffering from some kind of trauma to your noggin to have both your visual cortex and center for reasoning so compromised as to actually enjoy this irredeemable pile. Your state of amnesia surrounding your head trauma has me concerned. You should either attempt to recover your faculties by throwing this omnibus up into the air and let it smack you on the head á la Looney Tunes, or else seek out your nearest neurologist. We can't have one of our senior members going around with delusions that Onslaught was good or else the next thing you know you'll be heaping praise on New Warriors or The Crossing.

I like the omnibus hitting his head idea myself. Will do much more for your head than a neurologists could do.
