Interesting that there are plans for a volume 6 and 7. I won’t be getting those because I’m fine with the MM omnibus I already have, but for the completists they are going to have to take on a decent amount of double dipping, no?

I'll be interested to see whether they censor the "Kitty says the N-word to a Black person's face" moment (no, not the one in God Loves, Man Kills, the one in Uncanny X-Men # 196) the way the New Mutants Omnibus censored Kitty's list of slurs (she... uh... it's a pattern).
I'm not going to complain a lot if they do; times have changed. But I prefer uncensored if possible so I'll probably wait to see if I replace my Masterworks.
UNCANNY X-MEN OMNIBUS VOLUME 5 collects: Uncanny X-Men (1981) 194-209, Annual 9, New Mutants Special Edition, (1985) 1, Nightcrawler (1985) 1-4, Longshot (1985) 1-6, material from Marvel Fanfare (1982) 33
This does not include annual #10 or New Mutants annual #2, which would bring the end of this volume to the beginning of the Mutant Massacre omni. It also does not include X-Factor 1-8 or any other X-Factor issues prior to Mutant Massacre. Instead, Marvel is planning Uncanny X-Men volumes 6 and 7 to continue the line with only the relevant crossover issues going forward. X-Factor will need its own omnibus to collect the early issues. Any Uncanny X-Men volumes or X-Factor volume will double dip with the crossover omnis.
Since Marvel revealed to Omar they have a mapped out order for volumes 6 & 7 of UXM I'm going to assume the same has been done for ASM at the least.
"Freedom is the right of all sentient beings" - Optimus Prime
These X-Men omnis are getting smaller and smaller. Only 15 issues of the actual Uncanny book is kinda sad.
Lots of good Arthur Adams content though, so that's cool.
I thought that as well, however, much of Uncanny is now collected elsewhere as the title creeps into already collected content areas of the 1990s.
How many uncollected issues are left of the main title to bridge into already collected content? Is this a Krisis question?
I have to imagine that vol.6 and vol.7 are also very likely to have more mini-tie ins that equal the content from the actual main book.
Volume 5 of UXM has 15 UXM issues + an annual=16
11 issues from minis and "material from" another source=12
"Freedom is the right of all sentient beings" - Optimus Prime
I'm definitely in for BND Vol. 1. Very glad this is happening. I think I'll give the Joe Kelly Omnibus a miss as there will be some double dipping and I don't feel the need to buy it just for the Non-Stop and Savage mini-series (I haven't heard anything good about the latter but I haven't read it myself) or the other scattered issues. I respect Joe Kelly as a writer and he did some pretty good work on Daredevil in the latter part of the 1990s at the end of Vol. 1 before DD was renumbered under "Marvel Knights". It seems weird they're releasing these 2 Omnis at around the same time.
A while back I was picking up all the Spidey Omnis but because of increased Omnibus prices, lack of space and the fact that I've settled for keeping my OHCs (Superior, Ultimate, Spider-Verse), I've held back from preordering certain ones.
This is what May-July 2023 is looking like for Omnibus releases:
^ ^ ^
Uncanny X-Men Vol. 5 is my only must-have, with Black Cat and Genis-Vell strong possibilities.
2023 is gearing up to be light on the wallet.
My only wish is a reprint of The return of the winter soldier omnibus. Can someone make it happen?
