They’re a dysfunctional team with a big future ahead of them – unless the Universal Church of Truth has its way! But why are the 31st-century Guardians, Major Victory and Starhawk, here too? A fresh war looms in the exciting and action-packed story that revitalized the Guardians for a blockbuster new era!

Danny Ketch as Ghost Rider Epics gives me hope that an Omnibus might be closer than ever. Still a few years off, got to get the Blaze as GR MMWs done then Omni that in a couple volumes, but closer.

I think I spotted an error. The wording mentions battles with Count Nefaria, but the Nefaria Storyline is only in #164-166, which ends one issue prior to where this epic begins at #167 starring the Guardians of the Galaxy (OGs and my favs!).

I have always loved this cover, but there are also many other good ones in the issues of this Epic.

Another yes for me. 2024 is looking expensive!

Another omnibus from this year's Top 60ish (62 actually) Most Wanted Marvel Omnibus Poll.

The poll came out less than 2 months ago and since then, there have been 6 announcements from the list.

I don't have a particular complaint about where they split this material, but the title is a bit odd - the next one being v2 seems weird. The remaining non-omnibused material between here and the Clone Saga is 376-393 + Maximum Carnage + Pursuit + two annuals - that's ~35 issues, only 14 of which are written by Micheline and only 16 of which are drawn by Bagley.

I prefer this treatment where even the non creator stuff is included to make sure we get a full run collected. It makes me wonder if the Michelinie/McFarlane and Michelinie/Larsen volumes will be expanded to include Annuals 22-24 and the appropriate crossover material from Web and Spectacular. There's a lot of material left out of those volumes.

Oh, I'm very happy about what is collected, and think you're correct about them going back to the other Micheline collections at some point and expanding them, although I'm inclined to think that will be when they get renamed ASM v11 and v12 (or however it maps out).

I just think v2 of Micheline and Bagley will be a little funny having well more than half the contents having neither creator involved
