All New Marvel Collected Editions

[JCinOntario]

When I make my monthly order, after going through the specials for the month, I go through each publisher's books on the preorder tab. I sort descending by price. Outside of some crazy prices for certain variant covers, this puts all the collected editions near the top. Since I mainly order collected editions, but also mix in a floppy or two, I just work down from highest price to lowest while adding books.

Thank you, yes, sorting by price got me closer to what I’m looking for.

Is it normal for books that have already been released to be on this list? It's a bit confusing. Does it wait for all books to be released and then ships them all at once? Charging you for the books then?

It looks like there's a Loki Vol. 1 Omnibus on the way including all his first appearances as per Garuda on the Masterworks forum.

There's a Moon Knight Omnibus with a Finch cover from the 2000s out. Amazon only lists material from the 70s, though.

it's the variant of the same omnibus that collects his first appearances and solo series just with a modern cover. Bit misleading. (They also slapped a Spider-man/Moon knight cover on the Infinity something omnibus that's coming out).

[Thundershot]

You should.



It is.



Yes, it's usually only the Big Two that get the big discounts. Indy publishers tend to run 30-40% off, I believe. As far as the search function, that's a good question; I preorder all of my monthly floppies as well, so I've never tried to filter.

I’ve been getting all my books through CGN... I can’t figure out DCBS. When I search for the books I know are coming out or are already out, nothing comes up in the search. Mostly epic collections, but even ones a month or so away or new releases don’t even show up in the search.

Wow, that was fast. And thank you

The only reason that a book that's already released would show up among the preorders is if it's a new printing. I see this a lot with the more popular Image trades. They're always getting new printings.

You are able to order books that have already released when making your preorder. If you do so, they get pulled and shipped with your next regular shipment (weekly, biweekly, or monthly).

Hachette fishing - not sure Omar's gotten to these yet:

WHAT IF?: THE ORIGINAL MARVEL SERIES OMNIBUS VOL. 1 HC SPIDER-MAN/FANTASTIC FOUR COVER

CLOAK AND DAGGER OMNIBUS VOL. 2 HC

Looks like more should be appearing soon, and there are a few obvious things showing up (ASM by Spencer v13, etc)

[Captain Craig]

Omar had a special about 2 weeks ago about Cloak & Dagger Omni vol. 2

If he did or said anything about the What If? Omni then I missed that.

This is good news for my bank account as I won't be picking these up or the Loki Vol. 1 Omnibus. The What If? series has never really interested me, mainly because it's not canon. I have, however, purchased several What If? floppies that had Daredevil as the main protagonist.

The What If...? omnibus was announced by Omar in a video from 12/17/20.

The response from IST in regards to the New Mutants and Excalibur omnibuses.

"Hello,

Neither of these items are available from the distributor any longer so we are currently unable to restock them.

Thank you for your business! We appreciate it!

Thanks,"

Granted, I didn't specify regular or DM cover, but it does appear they're gone. Damn. I've been out of the Omnibus and OHC game for a couple years due to finances and almost everything I had wanted being released anyway. Had no idea it had gotten this bad with short print runs. Going to make sure I order Uncanny Vol. 4 on day one of release now. Ended up ordering from Amazon while I could. Fingers crossed they don't arrive damaged.

As of right now, CGN has both Excalibur covers available and the McLoed New Mutants cover available also. They came back in stock there.

Is anyone surprised or confused by the stock status of certain books?

Looking at IST, the DM covers for Moon Knight Omnibus and Cates Marvel Cosmic Universe are still in stock. I figured those would be sold out within days if not release day given the way some omnis disappeared during 2020. I wonder what the reasoning is - did Marvel increase the print runs? Is the pandemic shortage over for new releases? Are these just not as popular as I assumed? Or are they popular but there's too many other new omnis and books to choose from at this moment? Or some combination of the above?

It's a combination of the above. NearMint said that Excalibur was the starting point when Marvel increased their print run based on the sudden increase in sales 2nd quarter last year. Excalibur lasted about 1~1.5 months at IST so that's good. At least we don't need to scramble for 1st 10 minutes of release to get a book. Phew.

More popular title like the New Mutants is still sold out fairly quickly though. Moon Knight is a lesser famous character. That Cates Marvel Cosmic Universe Omni is just priced absurdly, and most of the material is already collected in OHC or treasury edition.
