All New Marvel Collected Editions

[TomSlick]

I don't recall any of those Venom series being all that good. That's mostly the 90s stuff, right? When he was oversaturated? I can be convinced I'm wrong.

VENOMNIBUS VOL. 1 Cover:

Is this placeholder art? I don't immediately recognize it as being from a particular cover. I had expected them to use the Lethal Protector #1 cover for the Omni.
Maybe there will be a Direct Market cover?

I reckon a VENOMNIBUS Volume 2 could very well consist of the following:

"Planet of the Symbiotes" (1995) mini-event: "The Amazing Spider-Man Super Special #1"; "Spider-Man Super Special #1"; "Venom Super Special #1"; "The Spectacular Spider-Man Super Special #1", & "Web of Spider-Man Super Special #1" - 5 issues
"Venom: Sinner Takes All #1-5" (1995) - 5 issues
"Venom: Along Came A Spider #1-4" (1996) - 4 issues
"Venom: The Hunted #1-3" (1996) - 3 issues
"Venom: The Hunger #1-4" (1996) - 4 issues
"Venom: Tooth & Claw #1-3" (1996) - 3 issues
"Venom: On Trial #1-3" (1997) - 3 issues
"Venom: License to Kill #1-3" (1997) - 3 issues
"Venom: Seed of Darkness Minus One #1" (1997) - 1 issue
"Venom: The Finale #1-3" (1997) - 3 issues
"Venom: Sign of the Boss #1-2" (1997) -2 issues

And possibly also include "Avengers: Death Trap - The Vault GN" which was later re-released as "Venom: Death Trap - The Vault". That would give us 36 issues plus a graphic novel plus any other guest appearances.


A possible VENOMNIBUS Volume 3 could be made up of:

"Venom #1-18” (2003) - 18 issues
"Venom vs. Carnage #1-4" (2004) - 4 issues
"Venom: Dark Origin #1-5" (2008) - 5 issues


And following all that, the FLASH THOMPSON era could make up a couple of Omnibuses:

"Amazing Spider-Man #654.1" and material from "ASM #654" - 1 issue
"Venom #1-42, #13.1-13.4, #27.1" (2011) - 47 issues
"Venom: Space Knight #1-13" (2016) - 13 issues
PLUS guest appearances such as in Superior Spider-Man.

It's possible I may have missed an issue or two out.

Good breakdown and it would be nice to get those.

The potential Venom Omnibus vol.2 by @Raffi would be remaining 90s fare, yes.
The material was hit or miss to be certain by the time you get to the late 90s cause yes Venom was one of those characters Marvel oversaturated(like they do Deadpool now and to a lesser extent Squirrel Girl).

Not by me - I also remember finding all those miniseries awful back in the day. And yet I'll probably bite, since I'm supposed to buy all things Spidey. Sigh.

That's actually the cover to issue 2 of Lethal Protector.

I only read two of the minis as a kid, but The Madness and The Enemy Within were bad. Maybe those were just the exceptions to the rule, but if I had to guess...

With Runaways omnibus announced, these are the current OHC's I own since their release that I did not "upgrade" to omnibus since there wasn't really any difference:

Annihilation
Daredevil by Bendis
Planet Hulk
New X-Men (upgrade would be nice for no gutter loss and uncensored manifesto but these have sentimental value)
Punisher MAX
Runaways
Ultimates (upgrade would be nice for no gutter loss)
Ultimate Spider-man (assuming they ever continue this, which I doubt)

[comicscollector]

The Venomnibus is the most interesting to me from the February solicitations.
Only read so far Venom:Lethal Protector limited series and the Clone Saga stories of Spider-Man in that Omnibus.
As a collector of Spider-Man comics that Omnibus will be a must buy to me.

I'm also a collector of all things Spidey in OHC (with the exception of the 2015 Slott run), but I'm seriously considering giving these Venomnibuses a miss. However, I would absolutely be up for a couple of Flash Thompson Venom Omnibuses. I reckon you guys will also be picking up the Carnage Omnibus right? That's another one I may bypass.

How come? Holding off for a series of Omnibus?

I'm afraid so. At least it's not nineties Carnage, but I'm a little bummed out that every coming Spidey-related Omni is actually not about him - Venom, Carnage, Morales. I'd rather they filled in the gaps in Amazing, Spectacular, Ultimate and such.

[Raffi Ol D'Arcy]

How come? Holding off for a series of Omnibus?

Yes and no. Bit by bit, I'm slowly getting turned off of Slott's writing and him pushing his lefty politics here and there. Saying that, however, if an Omnibus did materialise, I would most probably pick it up

I'm inclined to agree with you here. However, the Miles Morales Omnibus will be quite good in that USM will be complete in OHC format.

Oh, I see.

Yeah, that's right, but I've refrained from getting the USM OHCs in the hope that they eventually release the rest of it in Omni form, which I guess is getting more and more unlikely as time goes on.

When it comes out Punisher Max Vol.2 will probably have Barracuda Max which wasn't in the original OHCs so you might want to reconsider that one. Also, I agree with you on the USM OHC line - it shifted to being an Omnibus line ages ago and it's too late to start it up again now.

[Raffi Ol D'Arcy]

Yeah, that's right, but I've refrained from getting the USM OHCs in the hope that they eventually release the rest of it in Omni form, which I guess is getting more and more unlikely as time goes on.

I had already purchased the USM Vol. 8-11 OHCs a couple of years ago and Vol. 7 and 12 earlier this year. I was defiantly waiting for a Vol. 2 Omnibus but when I saw the Vol. 6 OHC on a local auction site, I gave in and decided to bid for it and managed to get it at a pretty low price. Vol. 4 and 5, I recently ordered from the amazon.co.uk marketplace for well below cover price but I won't be picking them up for a while as I had them delivered to my brother's in the UK. I really don't see any further USM Omnibuses appearing.

Unfortunately, it looks like the same story regarding a New Avengers Vol. 2 Omnibus and Iron Man by Fraction Vol. 3 OHC

[TomSlick]

I guess I’m going to treat the Venom omnibus like I do the Clone Saga and stay far away from it. Haha. I would be interested in a Flash Thompson collection.
