X-Men by Peter Milligan Vol. 1: Dangerous Liaisons is supposed to be out this week but no Vol 2 has been announced. Is it safe to assume there will be a volume 2 or no guarantee? I know this wasn't a high time for X-Men stories.

Any word on an Avengers by Hickman complete collection?
Since the first omnibus is OOP.
I had forgotten that an ASM vol.1 reprint was coming.
I wonder if they'll do one ASM reprint a year to make sure there is sufficient demand to attempt an ASM vol.5 a few years from now(say 2023/2024).
Suppose:
ASM vol.2 for 2020
ASM vol.3 for 2021
Stern reprint for 2022
ASM vol.4 reprint for 2023
By then we will already know what the follow-up film to Far From Home is (which ASM vol.5 coincides with) and likely have had a JMS vol.2 Omni, Slott vol. 1 & 2 Omni, Spec Spiderman vol.1 Omni and perhaps a Spider-man 2099 (90s) Omni.

They've only reprinted a "volume 2" omnibus a few times, and never reprinted a "volume 3."
It's my opinion that volumes > 1 stand little-to-no hope of getting reprinted, regardless of the title, so you better snag them while you can and/or just save up the big bucks for aftermarket prices.
Granted, Uncanny and Spidey are a little exceptional in the HUGE fanbases for both. I could see them eventually reprinting Uncanny and Amazing vols 3, but for other titles, like FF, Thor, Avengers, etc... i think the odds are forever NOT in your favor.
As always is the case, buy everything you can NOW as they'll go OOP later and be 2x the price. LOL. Such a silly hobby we have.

Thanks for the update The Turtledog.
DC,I need Bronze Age Batman,Green Lantern,and Flash collected.Please,and thank you.
Man, other than Captain (Ms.) Marvel, there hasn't been a Marvel Omni I wanted since Hickman Vol 2, and nothing on the solicits interests me at all...
Where is Black Panther by Priest? Where's Claremont's New Mutants? PAD's Hulk? Give me something, Marvel! Anything!
Cyclops was right

DC's Omnibus sales in March 2019:
159. Batgirl: The Bronze Age Omnibus Vol. 2 - 672
267. Sandman Omnibus Vol. 3 - 350
MMW Daredevil Vol. 13 HC probably experienced 50% less sales than usual due to only the Variant edition being available in March. I expect to see it reenter the charts next month with a similar figure. Very good figures for the Avengers Vol. 4 Omnibus - this bodes well for further Vol. 4's in other lines and also Vol. 5's. I expect once the Thanos Wars: Infinty Origins Omnibus goes OOP, prices will skyrocket on the secondary market.
I am totally certain, that this was explained before but how are those numbers generated? Does IST count as a Comic Shop? How about Amazon? Are all of these depandable on Diamond? I know the European retailers all get their stock from Diamond so these should already been accounted for. Thank you for the clearification! And naturally for doing the work Raffi!
As far as I'm aware, IST most definitely counts as a comic shop but Amazon doesn't. These figures are estimated comics shipped to North American Comics Shops based on reports from Diamond Comic Distributors. That means that European retailers do not count.
The below two questions from the FAQ page on comichron.con may prove helpful to you:
Q: What is included in the Diamond monthly charts?
A: Beginning in February 2003, the Diamond charts report the number of copies it shipped to retailers from its warehouses in North America during the calendar month. Sometimes, the books may actually arrive in the next calendar month, but they're invoiced based on the day they leave the facilities. So occasionally you'll see a January where the first week's sales actually are reported with December.
Note that some of the comic books Diamond ships are to vendors outside the comics shop market. This includes subscription box services like Loot Crate; because the services bought the comics directly from Diamond, the figures are included in the tallies. In cases were the majority of comics went outside the comics shop market, we usually note that in our tables.
Q: What is NOT included in the Diamond monthly charts?
A: This is important, because it is a topic often misunderstood. Not included are:
• copies shipped outside the calendar month, including most reorders
• copies sold outside North America; the UK market often adds 10% or so
• copies sold outside the comics shop distribution network, such as on newsstands, in bookstores, or by postal subscription; this also includes graphic novels that Diamond's sister branch, Diamond Book Distributors, sells returnably to book channel outlets
• copies that comics shops bought from anyone besides Diamond, such as other book distributors or direct orders from publishers
• and anything digital. There is no source for digital sales figures on individual titles.
