Seriously, no Spectacular Spider-man epics or omnis in 2020? It seems like we're well past due. . .

CONAN THE MARVEL YEARS VOL 2 EPIC COLLECTION
What is up with this? As far as I know the only epics are the dark horse Conan’s and they are already up to number 5 announced ...
I'm excited for Captain America Epic collection vol. 10!
It continues the J.M. DeMeatteis/Mike Zeck run of the book, started in vol 9, so vol 10 should start with Cap #267, and hopefully go up #289, which wraps up the Deathlok storyline and was Zeck's last issue.
Is the follow-up for this one: https://www.amazon.com/Conan-Barbari...dp/1302925555/
It should be. The video talks about how people contacted the Marvel Collections Editor to argue that the original Marvel Conan should be collected in Epic format instead of the “Complete Collection” format. Apparently they were successful and the first volume will be revised for Epic mapping.
Jan and Feb ASM Epic Collections, then nothing for Spidey until 2021. Ugh. I don't know if Marvel is misunderstanding the market or there's just not as much Spidey love as I think there is, but that seems like a silly choice. If you want to keep ASM to twice a year, give us SSM or WoSM. Owl/Octopus War, Name of the Rose, Peter David's run, DeMatteis, etc! (Also, give us Tombstone v2 to finish up Conway's run).

They did release about 5-6 Spider-man themed Omni's in 2016 and 4-5 in 2017. I feel they are just making 2020 about getting the X-men out and then just letting that simmer for a bunch of years. Probably release more Spider-Mans in 2021. I also assume a Thor reprint will happen when Love and Thunder is released.
Kinda miffed they did not reprint the Eternals. Completely missed opportunity there.
Name of The Rose was great. In my country, it was published in a magazine dubbed "Spider-Man Extra" along with the story of Dardevil finally taking down Kingpin (Daredevil #297-300, I think). Great memories of that.
But yeah, having had 4-5 ongoing series pretty much constantly since the 90's, I really wonder how Marvel doesn't feel there would be interest for more collected books.
Yeah, with the Clone Saga stuff selling pretty well (all the BR epics are OOP and some go for crazy prices aftermarket, all of it got omni-ed), you'd think they'd try to back-fill the time just before. Web 84-100 (Name of the Rose, Spirit of Venom, Iron Spider), Life Theft/Pursuit/Shriek in ASM, Harry Osborn in SSM, Spider-man (Desperate Man, etc.). There's some really decent stuff in there (and some stuff that isn't decent is at least momentous)

That would the Byrne run in there somewhere, correct...?
I wonder if we will see a drop in secondary market prices on the existing Hulk Visionaries (PAD, Byrne) now that the Epics and Omni's are finally reprinting that material. The old chunky trades of Mantlo's run are also pretty pricey.
