That's exactly what I did, based on your comment. I didnt know the MMW edition of Frank Miller's work was so close. I actually prefer this format to omnibus, for it's smaller page count. Awesome suggestion.
And thanks to everyone for the feedback. This place is always helpful to me.
WHich also begs the question why no Spidey by Slott omnis? Slott is still a pretty big creator at Marvel. I realize his entire run (I think) was put out in OHCs at one time, but I would think there would be a market for it. Especially Superior Sider-Man, which is still held in high regard, and those OHCs are crazy expensive.
"Boomerang arrow, Kate... It comes back to you in the end. Boomerang. Respect it." - Clint
"Why the hell do you need an arrow that comes back to you after you shoot it, Clint?" - Kate
"Because... Boomerangs." - Clint.
That's probably, what, 5-6* omnis? I could see them wanting to clear out some other Spider-man omnis out of the queue before starting that undertaking.
*Two for Big Time, one for Superior, one for Spider-verse and v3, then one or two more for for v4 (with RYV either in with Spider-verse or Worldwide)
