Marvel Collected Editions

[victorxd1999]

I'm not all that familiar with the Vertigo line, I prefer straight up super hero stuff, so it may have had better writing.
I'd still buy a clone saga omnibus, volume 1& 2 I'd guess, maybe a Thunderbolts one as well.
Didn't get AoA, but will be getting Onslaught, to each his own.

Late 80s and 90s Dc is one of my favorite era of books. Spectre, Hawkworld, JLA, Starman, Sandman Mystery Theatre, Waid's Flash, David's Aquaman, Grell's Green Arrow, Hitman and quite a lot more. And I'm not even mentioning Vertigo (90's Vertigo is probably one of the best era a publisher ever had quality-wise)

Sorry, didn't mean to leave you hanging there. Descriptors of Marvel in the 1990s:
Nadir
Armpit
Rock Bottom
All-time low
Feculent
Uncool
Fetid
The Crossing
Unpalatable

Are just a few adjectives that come to mind.

Thanks for a adjectives. But the 90's did bring some gems as well such as Busiek/Ross' Marvels, Smith/Quesada's Daredevil, and the Thunderbolts. It's all a matter of opinion though and while the Onslaught saga wasn't ground breaking, I found it to be a fun story.

Hopefully if the Busiek/Perez Avengers Omnibus does well, Marvel will collect Busiek's Thunderbolts as well. That would be a day 1 purchase for me.

And Untold Tales of Spider-Man. Busiek saved a lot of the 90s for me.

Looks like desparation.

I think desperation would be a Heroes Reborn omnibus.

I see what you did there.

It's mostly early 90's and mid 90's that's bad. Almost all the good ones are from 1997 onwards.

And how the Clone Saga went on like a year longer than it was supposed to. I think Knightfall was the only thing like that that actually wound up being shorter than originally planned.

New Krypton got cut off early.

[FlashingSabre]

It was still better than what Image & DC were putting out at the time, there were a few gems in there.

90's DC is the suit, man. I love the 90's legacy heroes. And who doesn't love Barbarian Aquaman.

[TomSlick]

I think Onslaught is a perfect representation of Marvel Comics in the 1990s. Hence, my dislike of it.

Clone Sage, too!

with all due respect, you're out of your mind. DC had some incredible stuff. And that doesn't even count Vertigo. But, yes, Image sucked for the most part.

And Untold Tales of Spider-Man. Busiek saved a lot of the 90s for me.

The thing about the 90s for Marvel is that it was very, very, very, very freakin' horrible. But there are a lot of 90s gems. This being one of them.

It's mostly early 90's and mid 90's that's bad. Almost all the good ones are from 1997 onwards.

I think - at least to me - I can pin point the 90s turn around and it was when JMS took over ASM, when Marvel Cancelled John Byrne's abortion of a Spider-Man reboot, and Quesada was given Marvel Knights and the publisher (can't remember his name but he's no longer there) came on board. It got even better when Quesada took the reins. Say what you want about him know ("One More Day"), the dude brought in some super talent, and let creators create.

Was Amalgam Comics 90s? I remember I had a lot of fun reading those...
Also, Batman Black and White was pretty cool the first time around.

Found a list of Marvel's GN releases spanning from May-August.

Looks like we are getting an Onslaught Omnibus

-Wasn't aware of the Kamala Khan OHC. It probably was announced/solicited before, but it went over my head.
-Still disappointed there is no Spidey vol 3 OHC announced yet.
-Still intrigued about the lack of "title" for the second Miles Morales paperback (Vol 1 - Rebirth, Vol 2 - ???).
-Really digging the cover they chose for Hawkguy OHC Vol. 2!

JMS was given ASM in 2001 and Quesada came in in 1998. But I get your point

To which Spidey OHC are you referring? The only one I can think of is Superior Spidey, and that 3rd OHC has been solicited and is coming out in March. Was that the one you were talking about?

Yeah, you're right, but it was kind of a 3-4 year turn around. It wasn't overnight, but it all seemed to run together. Marvel Knights Punisher with Ennis started up after the disaster "Angelic" story line; Smith and Quesada took over DD after his character was stuck in a rut; Bruce Jones on Hulk after Byrne's horrible start (Jenkins redeemed it somewhat); etc. It was a good time. The Ultimate line started up, Bendis was on freakin fire, etc., etc.

Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 3 is the one that started after Superior.
Besides the Spider-Verse OHC, no other hardcovers (not even premiere-sized) have been solicited or announced for this volume.

Granted, there are only 6 issues between Superior #31 and Amazing #7, but still.

It won't be solicited until after Superior is out and covered. And since deadpool, hawkeye and superior all had about a year between OHC, I think that's what your looking at.

Events books, like Spiderverse, are an exception and now seem to come out very soon after the event itself.
