All New Marvel Collected Editions

[Raffi Ol D'Arcy]

Looks like I need to sell my Loki Agent of Asgard collection and Superior Spider-Man Hardcovers!

I'm holding on to my Superior OHCs for the time being. If they had incorporated the relevant Avenging Spider-Man issues and possibly Superior Team-Up in the first Omnibus, I would be all for it. I wonder what will be in the Vol. 2 Omnibus? If it's Spider-Ock's later "adventures", I'm not that interested. I can't imagine them putting in those later Avenging issues as it would put the story out of chronological whack.

Well, the Superior Team-up Compete Collection had 23 issues of Avenging, Team-up, and crossovers, then there are the three annuals for Arms of the Octopus, and probably/possibly Gage's 12 issue series set after Spidergeddon. That's my bet, even if it's all over the place

I stopped reading Spider books when Marvel ended the marriage in 2007, but I have the Wedding Gallery preordered! I’m looking forward to it especially because I’ve never read their honeymoon issue before. It’s a shame Marvel doesn’t care about its large market for fans of the Spidermarriage. If we can’t get it in 616, at least bring back Mayday’s Spider-Girl series (ignoring Spider-Verse and Secret Wars).

I’d even read new Mr and Mrs Spider-Man backstories set in 982. Anything. I’m literally begging Marvel. I don’t like the MCU movies because I can’t stand Spider-boy. Didn’t bother with the Garfield movies because Mary-Jane wasn’t in them. Publish a book for those of us who aren’t interested in a single Spidey.

At the very least I hope we’ll get Volumes 5 and 6 of The Complete Collection in 2023-24.

Heads Up The release date for the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe: Update '89 Omnibus has changed to Dec 27, 2022.

Also, In order to print new Omnibus that are late should Marvel stop with the reprint of older Omnibus's until they catch up?

Same for me and I am only now considering reading it all to catch up.

Do these empire omnibi (Omni 1 and 2) follow the contents of the epic collections? Wondering if I should grab a cheap Omni #1 from IST and sell off the epics.

Uncanny X-Men Volume 5 will now include New Mutants Annual 2 and X-Men Annual 10

Love it!
Even though it's kinda short on actual X-Men issues, between the annuals, the New Mutant special and the Longshot mini, it's heavy on Arthur Adams content, who I love!
And of course, with NM annual 2, more Alan Davis is always welcome, not to mention a few issues with Barry Windsor-Smith, and this thing is loaded with my top 3 favorite artists!

Fantastic Four Full Circle, does anyone know if this was a limited release? It seems to be sold out pretty much everywhere already. I am taking about the regular version, not The slipcase edition.

Fantastic Four Full Circle, does anyone know if this was a limited release? It seems to be sold out pretty much everywhere already. I am taking about the regular version, not The slipcase edition.

It's still available on Amazon (30% off) right now.

I'm not sure if it was a limited release (the non-slipcase version); probably just popular.
