I'm glad at least there will finally be a TPB of the early Thunderbolts without the horrible error that was in all the "Thunderbolts classic" printings, where one page was left completely unlettered. It was finally fixed in the Omnibus.
3 omnibus coming from a galaxy far, far away.
I'm banking money here as I don't do these lines of Omnis. Glad for those that want them cause I know that feeling. Looking at you SA Daredevil vol.2!
"Freedom is the right of all sentient beings" - Optimus Prime
My kingdom for a Gillen SW and Ewing GotG omnis.
That New Republic omni is really weird. I mean, I get that the Boba Fett stuff shares creative team overlap with Dark Empire (and that Boba Fett appears in Dark Empire), but the Crimson Empire trilogy really does kind of belong in this volume instead. I guess, if/when they do a volume 3, Crimson Empire would be the big anchor to go with Jedi Academy, Union, and maybe the NJO material? Oh, well.
Kind of surprised we're getting Aphra before the Gillen SW omni, and that Aphra's ending(?) at 25. It seems like they're not anywhere close to done w/this era of SW comics (Hidden Empire hasn't been solicited yet, I don't think they're too close to RotJ yet), so are we getting a creative reshuffle in the November solicits?

2 new omnibus coming next year. 1 recent run and 1 from the top 50 most wanted
It'll be interesting to see if they decide they need to do a "SSM by PAD" volume before they get their naturally w/SSM omnis. One might imagine they'll do an Alien Costume omni when they get that far* (just concatenating the two complete collections), then PAD, Conway, and JMD/Buscema would be the headliners for the next three volumes.
I'm definitely getting the second omni on Omar's video - I haven't read the material but I'm sure I'll enjoy it
*I'm skipping over the eternal debate of whether SSM omni v2 will include the Stern material or not).
