What is the X-Men: Inferno Prologue? IS it an Omni or just a Mutant Massacre style OHC?

It's not an omnibus, no. It's the next part in the classic X-Men OHC series, plugging the hole between Fall of the Mutants and Inferno.

Does it contain a lot of extraneous crap from Loise Simonson's New Mutants and X-Factor runs? If so, that's a no go. That'll give ya nightmares, too.

I love that stuff, but yes. It's comprised of about 1/3 each.

• Uncanny X-Men #228-238, Annual #12
• X-Factor #27-32, Annual #3
• New Mutants #62-70, Annual #4
• Marvel Age Annual #4, Marvel Fanfare #40

I'd post them myself, but I'm way too tired because thoughts of Brian Bendis writing the X-Men disturbed my sleep and had me tossing and turning all last night!

OMG, me too. Like, actually.

I feel like my depression about how awful the entire X-line has been for the past two years has lead me to spend more money on other comics in order to try to recapture the magic. I'd also like to link it to my gaining weight, but that's mostly attributed to working at a start-up

[The Lucky One]

Yeah, the "Inferno Prologue" is going to be a tough buy for me. I will, because it plugs a hole and the Claremont X-Men issues cover one of my favorite eras of the team; but man, those New Mutants issues are weak sauce. Oh, Gossamyr... how does it feel that writers have brought back freaking Bird-Brain, yet no one has deigned to touch you?

Haven't read the X-Factor issues, so at least there'll be the novelty factor. But overall, yeah, this is a gap-filling purchase.

Didn't you post this recently?

Time travel is a big part of some avengers stories, mostly anything involving Kang. But there's many more stories that don't cover time travel. Avengers is often fun, but it can be pretty broody too.

yep, deleted the previous post, sorry!


I was wondering about the rest of the run because i had high hopes for the "avengers forever" storyline and was bored by it!

thanks for the reply!

I feel like Marvel knows this, and is milking it. Like a buy one x-men get two shitty comics included at full price.

With Amazon having listings up for Omni titles through May at least is it likely we aren't going to see any DD Omni material, new or reprints, to coincide with his Netflix TV show?
I don't have the Bendis or Brubaker DD volumes and while I have the DD MMW Silver Age material I'd like to get those in an Omni, I'd sell the MMW to get just the one volume. The DD material is a big hole in my Omni collection.

Yeah looks like it's avengers season for the first half of next year (with some other stuff peppered in) but there will probably some surprises. No Spidey omni makes me sad. Are there any x-omnis beyond onslaught and its avengers double billing?

I was wondering the same, with stuff like X-Men by Alan Davis, X-Men by Seagle & Kelly, Uncanny X-Men-The New Age by Chris Claremont and X-Men: Legacy (X-Men: Legacy Vol. 1 #208–218, not the new stuff) on one hand and New mutants, Excalibur, Peter D. X-factor,... i wonder why they're keeping the X-men related omnibus to stuff connected to the avengers or stuff like this Inferno "prologue" ..

I'm with you on this. If a SA DD Omnibus does appear, I'll probably purchase it and still keep my MMW HCs due to the paper quality.

I'm eagerly awaiting a DD Miller Companion Omnibus reprint.

Can anyone tell me if the Infinity Gauntlet Omnibus is any good? Is the storyline good and worth the purchase of the omnibus or stick with the trade paperback? Any help would be greatly appreciated

[Joshua]

The Infinity Gauntlet and Silver Surfer issues in the omni are great. There are a lot of tie-ins and some are good and some not. Personally, I really like the omnibus.

Ugh! The mention of Bird Brain just made me throw up a little in my mouth. Thanks again, Louise Simonson!
