    It's weird how some collections aren't listing their exact contents.
    It is almost certainly Thanos Annual 1 (that's the DM cover), the two 4-issue minis Infinity Entity and Thanos vs Hulk, and the six OGNs, Infinity Relativity, Revelation, Ending, Finale, Sibling, and Conflict (none of that in that order).

    Btw, it's marked as Parental Advisory. Anyone know which issues this will be referring to? Deadpool? Punisher?

    Personally, I would have much preferred 2 Omnibuses or a main slimmer Omnibus with the main event and other important issues such as War Scrolls and have an additional.Companion Omnibus as was the case with Age of Apocalypse and Acts of Vengeance.
    Yeah, you expect this from DC. This is like Fourth World level if not even more. I would also much rather have preferred two omnis at say $75 a piece. This is going to be unwieldy.

    That Venom tongue cover is gross yet extremely cool looking. The Eternals Alex Ross cover is sick. For Infinity Saga, I think I'm going with the Thanos face cover as I like the outer space look as well. Also, can you guys advise on whether I need to read Aaron's Thor run beforehand or can the war of the realms omni be read as a standalone? Thanks.

    the thing is, this event's ancillary mini series - I actually read most of them and they were all good! Giant Men, Spider-Man, Punisher, War Scrolls - all of these were really good. And the Thor issues tie in directly to the main event, so they have to be there. I would guess IM and others are direct tie-ins as well. Still, this is one Massive book.

    I really want to get it, but I'm not sure I will - too big, too unweildy, and if it has really tight binding, it'll be kinda unreadable. Hopefully Omar or someone gets an advanced review of the book, to help me (and others!) decide.

    I agree that 2 volumes as you laid out makes much more sense.

    I'll be getting the Delgado cover for Venomnibus vol.3 for sure. Does anyone know if Mac Gargan as Venom gets any exposure in this volume? The write up sounded like maybe just a dose when it mentioned new host.

    I have all but one of the Starlin OG OHC but may upgrade.

    Those Marvel Knights issues are Gargan getting the Venom suit. Not sure about any of the rest of it, but I'd assume given the dates the Sensational issues are, as well

    Does anyone know if the UXF reprint was printed by Leo Group? I looked at the comparison video by Gem Mint and there is no gutter loss despite the different binding. I will go ahead and get that one. I guess it looks as if some books like Wolverine will have massive gutter loss while others like UXF are fine. I suppose it will be a case by case with these upcoming releases as to whether there will be gutter loss or not assuming Leo Group did both Wolverine and UXF.

    UXF reprint is print in Leo (China), how do you know that is no gutter loose, he didn't show any one two page splash.

    I can't say for splash pages. For everything else, he was flipping both side by side to different sections of the book and the white borders towards the middle you could clearly see on both though to a slightly lesser extent with the reprint. That is good enough for me. Splash pages are not as big a concern assuming it is minimal. I haven't read the run before so can't say as to how many instances of those there would be in this omni. But considering there is no gutter loss for most pages as far as I could see I would assume the same would apply to any splash pages.

    Thanks Bob. I went over to ComicVine and looked up the MKS issues. I'm now extra puzzled as issues #7-8 are actually parts 3&4 of a storyline called 'Venomous'. Scorpion is listed for issue #8 but not 5-7. Wondering if this is a typo in the solicit. Why only include issues 7-8 of a 4 part Venom story in the Venomnibus???
    Sensational S-M #38-39 is the 'Last Temptation of Eddie Brock', cover to 39 shows him in a hospital bed in his death throws.

    Issues 7-8 are parts 3 & 4 of "Venomous", a storyline where Eddie Brock auctions the symbiote. The Venom host for these issues is a character named Angelo Fortunato, and these two issues are the ones that heavily feature him, I assume we will have recap pages in this omni to keep the reader up with the Venom part of the story. I'd recommend the whole Millar run if you want to know details, it's a fun read. Mac Gargan (Scorpion) is listed only in #8 since that's where he has a small appearance. However, he does appear as the symbiote host in issue 11, also included in this solicitation.

    Another problem in addition to the gutter loss is when a book doesn’t lay flat and the binding doesn’t lift up to push the center of the book out so it is level with the rest of the page... you get this abnormal uneven curvature that makes the speech bubbles and art hard to discern because the whole center is actually on a curve from the paper curving out from the center instead of laying flat... so you have to kind of move your head to read/see what is going on all down along that curve for every page and it makes for a really shitty reading experience for me personally it gives me a headache.

    Like with scanned comics the art is all flat... and these books are supposed to have a flat page for viewing because that it how you view art Is on a flat surface.

    Imagine going into the louvre and they took the Mona Lisa and wrapped the canvas around a pillar instead of having it lay flat in the picture frame... you would have to walk around the pillar to see the whole painting... well that is what a lot of these books are like in the center... you read from left to right and as you get to the center of the page the art falls off into the gutter in the center of the book... it sucks.

    These books seem okay to some guy on YouTube flipping through them but when you have them in front of you to read... they are a real chore to get through. Looking at that Wolverine Omnibus... there is no way I’m buying that because I couldn’t even read that... and I bet I am not alone. Gem Mint is not reading these Omnibus reprints he is just using them to make videos.

    It is a shame.

    So there’s some quality control issues apparently. Near Mint got a copy with looser binding than Gem Mint it appears. I guess it’ll be a roll of the dice.

    It baffles me that Hickman's FF is out of print. The omni v1-2 should be kept in print. Or at the very least, Marvel should put out the complete collections; they just stopped at v2.

    Hickman's SHIELD volumes would make for a great OHC.

    And reprint Secret Warriors omni while they're at it, damn it.

    With Hickman being a superstar and back at Marvel in a huge way, this should be a gimme.
