I am stumped at some of these omni choices that are being approved before Stern Avengers, Gruenwald Cap, Defalco Thor, Peter David Spidey, and Dematties Spidey(Spec and ASM before Clone Saga and Spec run after Clone Saga before 1998 reboot)
I like the first one, but I really think Avengers #154-159 should be included. Simon has just awakened from his years-long slumber and in 155 he knocks out Namor, 157 fights the Stone Knight, 158 he fights Vision and in 159 fights Graviton stating that after he was "defeted by the Stone Knight his power mysteriously increased back to what it was long ago". Simon was integral to the Avengers during all of these issues.
I wish someone would tell Omar and maybe he can get Marvel to add them.

Stern's Avengers run not getting the omnibus treatment is almost laughable at this point.
Good news on the Hellion hardcover is, unlike what was said in the solicitations, it actually includes issues 5 & 6.
Would also be great to get a Mega Omni of George Perez's 80s run on Avengers 141-162, 167-177, 192-202. Even though he didn't finish the Korvac Saga it would be great to have that in here for story completion purposes and 192-193 is by a different artist but it plugs a hole, 163 and 178-180 are garbage though. It would be awesome to have that era in an omni as the byrne issues 164-166, 181-191 are in the Marvel Universe by Byrne omni 1.
Coming in August 2023
WONDER MAN OMNIBUS VOLUME 1 collecting: Avengers (1963) 9, 52, 131-132, 151-153, 160; Giant Size Avengers (no issue given, probably #3 history of the vision), Marvel Team-Up (1972) 78, 136; Marvel Premiere (1972) 558; Marvel Two in One (1974) 78; Wonder Man (1986) 1; material from Avengers Annual (1967) 6, Solo Avengers (1987) 13, Marvel Comics Presents (1988) 38-45; Marvel Super Heroes (1990) 4
and
WHAT IF?: INTO THE MULTIVERSE OMNIBUS VOLUME 2 collecting: What If? (1989) 40-75
Both Wonder Man and What If? season 2 are coming to Disney+, so these are tying into the releases.
A Wonder Man Volume 2 would cover the time of Simon's solo series from the 1990s. Since the writer of that series is in prison currently, most publishers have avoided reprinting any of his material. But I did read that the royalties for any reprints would go to a victims charity instead. Perhaps Marvel may use "The Original Writer" credit for this.
A third volume for What If? would finish up the 1989 series. Any further volumes would be needed for the various specials released over the years.
As much as I love Wondy, I won't be buying this unless those missing issues (#154-#159) are added. These are major highlights for Simon.

So far, no sign of Spider-Girl: The Complete Collection Volume 6. They are usually published in the spring. I’m getting concerned. We only need two more volumes to complete the series, then two of Amazing Spider-Girl and one of Spectacular Spider-Girl. It’s also disappointing that these collections haven’t led to a new Mayday series by Tom Defalco. I’d love a new one that functions as a direct sequel to Spectacular Spider-Girl and ignores or erases the vile events of Spider-Verse.
