Thanks for posting those stats, Raffi. Interesting to see what numbers the big books sell.

Looks like that DM cover of the Conan Omni is still unavailable, guess I'll begrudgingly have to get the regular cover...
Like, even if they have to do a different cover for the mass-market edition, why not use other artwork from Windsor-Smith for that as well? You know, the guy who most people are buying this for?
Im back! With more questions. There are many lists out there that have reading orders or recommended reading for Marvel Cosmos, such as Annihilation, War of Kings ect. However im not seeing a whole lot about modern comics.
Donnie Cates is a name I see floating around. I know he did Dr.Strange, Cosmic Ghost Rider, Venom, and GotG. But does that connect with Durgans Gotg? What about Infinity Wars? How much can I actually skip and how much should I actually invest in?
Bonus points if anyone can tell me more (quality wise) about Immortal Hulk. Thanks everyone!
I see from the April Solicitations that there will be yet another new printing of Amazing Spider-Man Omnibus vol.1. How many new printings is that now of this particular Omnibus? Along with Fantastic Four vol.1 and Uncanny X-Men vol.1, it’s seemingly getting new printings every couple of years. Are they really that popular that they sell out that quickly that they need constant new printings?
Personally it pretty frustrating to see them get new printings all the time when some of the Omnibuses that I missed out on the first time they were printed like the Incredible Hulk vol.1, the Silver Surfer and the Ultimates never seem to get a new printing even though their first and only printing was over 10 years or more ago.
Just arrived!!! Can't wait to dive in.

I brew the beer you drink. What's your super power?
Thor by Aaron coming out as complete collections, looks like we wont be getting an omnibus for a while
This will be the 5th printing of Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 1 Omnibus. Yes, they are popular, the ASM Vol. 1 Omnibus is an evergreen and is presently out of stock.
I reckon the Silver Surfer Omnibus would sell like hotcakes. The Incredible Hulk Omnibus would probably do pretty well but please note that the first printing took quite a few years to go OOP. If we ever see another solo Hulk movie or some kind of Hulk anniversary, we might just get that reprint.
I do agree that reprints of long OOP Omnibuses are needed (here's looking at you Bendis's Daredevil and Brubaker's Immortal Iron Fist) instead of reprints of Golden Age Marvel Comics Vol. 1 Omnibus (and at $150) or FF by Byrne Vol.1 Omnibus - both which took forever to go OOP.
