Happy for those that like this material, and wanted it, but I have zero interest. Definitely a pass unless I can find if dirt cheap on clearance and maybe not even then. I just can't see there being much demand for this. Sure it's Lee/Kirby, but it's horribly dated. It would be neat to read from a historical perspective, but that's about it.
Correct me if I'm wrong but from what I remember from the "Marvel comics-the untold story" in this era Lee and Kirby was quite uninspired with the monster of the month comics coming out and that lead Lee wanting to quit and then writing F4 #1. It just seem like an era not worth to be collected in omnibus format.
Not gonna lie, these recent omnibus announcements don't interest me much. Monsterbus is a pass, but I'll pick up ASM 3, but there aren't many others
It's also in the Annihilation Classic TPB (which I think I found in a 50% off pile).
Regarding the discussion on reading order in the Spider-Verse HC: I agree that a reading order is better, but worst case scenario it's possible to swap back and forth between pages, especially as Marvel collected editions include the covers (my Dark Horse Star Wars omnis and TPBs usually didn't have the covers; it would just be one continuous story, with occasionally obvious issue breaks.) But a customizable reading order is definitely among the reasons I love my single issues

Yeah, I don't think anybody was asking for the Monsterbus. The only reason it's happening is because of the upcoming Monsters Unleashed book/event, whatever it is. Kinda like the Clone Saga omni, the only reason it's happened now is because of the current Clone Conspiracy crap that their doing.
Was interesting to see that the reprint of ASM2 only sold 650 odd copies, with X-Men around the 500 mark.
Strange did 2600 while Shang Chi 2 did just under 1K.
Granted that is only the DM sales and no Amazon or non-US sales included, but still, considering the whale status, the preorders for ASM2 were much lower than I expected them to be.
