All New Marvel Collected Editions

[Judge Dredd]

It's taken about three years for Marvel to put out eight Conan omnis, but after 20 years, we're still only on volumes four & five for characters like Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, and the X-Men. Nothing against Conan, but why not get their top characters released at the same rate?

Pretty sure its a licensing thing they do not own Conan like the other marvel books so they have a limited release window with the license. That is why they are already on Aliens Omnibus vol 4 also as far as I know.

Yeah it's pretty annoying. My eyes just glaze over the plethora of Conan releases every month. He's practically Marvel's Batman at this point.

I'm sure you're right. While I'm sure they must be doing decent enough numbers to justify the quantity and frequency, there's still no way any Conan book is going to outsell a Spider-Man or X-Men release - even if they're reprints.

Is it because the Conan license may run out so they're trying to make as much cash as they can now?

Pretty much. Shang Chi got 4 Master of Kung Fu and 2 Deadly Hands of Kung Fu omnibi released from June 2016 through October 2017. the Fu Manchu connection made these issues licensed material.

I wish I could get Post Crisis Batman omnis coming out at the rate of these Conan Omnis. Oooh, or Triangle Era Superman Omnis!

Is there an X-men Inferno collection without the other crossover stories? I just want to read the X-men parts but the Omni contains stories I really don't care about.

There an OHC and TPB with just the X-Terminators mini, X-Men, X-Factor, and New Mutants.

Originally there were two OHCs, Inferno (containing mostly just the UXM, New Mutants, and X-Factor chapters) and Inferno Crossovers (…what it says on the tin). When Marvel turned it into an omni, they combined the two. So theoretically you could just buy the Inferno OHC, but it’s insanely OOP. Maybe prices have gone down since the omni came out, but I doubt it.

I thought I saw somewhere the inferno ohc was being reprinted.

For a lot of the X-men crossovers I just have the Milestones editions, as they cut out a lot of chaffe. For Inferno I could not in good conscience buy the latest omni as it just had sooooo much stuff I had no interest in.

Really wish this were the entire first year instead. I'm greatly enjoying this book.

Given the rest of the info in the blurb, I'm pretty sure that's a typo, and this contains 12 issues or more.

Ah yes I see that now. Fingers crossed then.

I might start doing this honestly. A lot of the Omnis have unnecessary padding. I'm gonna get the Mutant Massacre Omni and the Inferno Prologue but after that, I think I'm gonna be done with the crossover Claremont Omni's and just finish them in trades.
