All New Marvel Collected Editions

I've noticed that, too. Makes me wonder if they're going to stay in business beyond the books listed.

Gosh I hope so!

How fast do we think the Inferno omni will sell out on Tuesday? Trying to keep up with all the recent books means I didn't have the funds to preorder this one. I don't care which cover I get so hopefully they'll have enough.

I am betting within the first 10 to 15 minutes. Inferno has been on lots of people's most wanted list for many years.

Woah, an Ultimates by Al Ewing complete collection?! Now that's awesome. I wish this series continued but I'm glad it's getting a little more attention. 10/10 from me.

Yeah, there's some great stuff in the new solicitations! I plan on picking up Ewing's Ultimates collection - and about 10 other books! Mostly Epics.

I doubt they're going out of business. I think it's just another symptom of the fact they are overloaded and can't keep up as it is, so they're not setting themselves up for failure by advance-advertising books they won't be able to ship in a timely manner anyway...

So the Inferno reprint is being released before the Inferno Prologue reprint...? I must've had my dates reversed.

Speaking of wishlists...My IST wishlist is SOOO small! Seems they have stopped adding new collections to their "coming soon" section.

DCBS also dropped some preorders. Weird. David 90’s X-Factor and Empyre omnis both appear to be delisted. Regular covers are still available for preorder from Amazon, so it doesn’t look like they were cancelled.

This is what I'm thinking too. But the Claremont/Lee reprints have lasted awhile now, so who knows. Maybe I'll throw my preorder in now on ToW, but I wanted to order it along with the From Hell: Master Edition and of course ToW doesn't have that listed, for some reason. Decisions...

Yeah, I don't know why they release these things "out of order" so much. I already have the Prologue omni but if I was waiting for the reprint of that before reading Inferno proper, I'd be annoyed. The way Marvel releases some of their Epic Collection lines annoys me already.

My guess is they knew the core Inferno book was the 'most wanted' of the two, so they solicited/released it first to appease folks, and then once they had everyone all up in a tizzy, they announced the prologue as well. Pure marketing. Cuz if they announced the prologue first, then everyone would just assume the main book would be reprinted. But what do I know... could be totally random and they had the one ready to go before the other one...

I for one will stick with the Inferno milestone TPB. The omni just has wayyy too much filler and not-good issues.

Totally grabbing that Ultimates epic though!

This Howard is a pass for me.

Re: Captain Britain Omni
Why exclude Captain America 305-306? Why is that suddenly "worth" omitting in the collections dept view?
I'm planning to get this as it was long OOP when I first found out it existed however disappointed that content is being dropped. I doubt those 44 pages really affect the books cost to any real degree.

Size, probably. They’re combining a regular-sized omnibus with two earlier OHCs, so this is going to be a big ‘un. They may have felt like the Cap team-up issues were the least essential material in the collection, or that the extra page count would negatively impact the binding/gutter loss.

That, or the solicitation is wrong and they’ll actually be in there. Could go either way.

Percentage wise, how much of this new omni is actually written by Moore?

[Andru]

Per Omar & NMC we have...

Excalibur Omnibus Volume 2 in November AND New Mutants Omnibus Volume 2 in December!

SOOO excited for New Mutants! It will fill the gap between the first omni & Fall of the Mutants omni.

[slop101]

Gonna skip the Inferno Omni, as I already have all 3 OHCs (Prologue, Inferno, Crossovers).

I'm all over that Excalibur Omni vol 2 - hope it finishes Davis' run.

*edit* - looks like it will finish up Davis' run, which means that these two Excalibur volumes (along with the Cap Britain omni as a sort of prologue) should make for one of, if not the best, 3-volume set of Omnis you could get. Seriously, Davis's run was SO GOOD!

I would say about 20-25%. Note that the original Omnibus had only about 50% Alan Moore material. The remainder was written by Jamie Delano, Dave Thorpe and some one/two-shots/remaining issues by others. People often mistakenly credit the original Omnibus as an Alan Moore written Omnibus which unfortunately isn't correct as quite a bulk of the good stuff (other than the excellent Moore issues) is also written by Jamie Delano and Dave Thorpe. The new costume was also introduced in a Dave Thorpe written issue. If anything, almost all of the original Omnibus was drawn by Alan Davis. Chris Claremont who is credited on the dust jacket of the original Omnibus only wrote 2 issues - the New Mutants and X-Men annuals.
