All New Marvel Collected Editions

[JaffyJayne]

They’ve just started Exiles complete collections too, better not abandon them like they did X-Factor & Generation X.

Decided to pass on the Avengers Infinity omnibus.

Sorry to ask a question I should already know, but when (give or take) does IST update their site for the next week's new releases? I know it's on TUE - is it 1PM CT, 2PM CST, or 3PM CST?

How are we feeling with Marvel completing their complete collections? My Indredible Hercules collection is broken into OHC, hardcover, & trades. I would love to have it all uniform in complete collections, but I know Marvel has a hit or miss track record. They pumped out Bendis’ Avengers and Slott’s Spider-Man, but completely abandoned The 2000’s X-Factor after 2 volumes.

I would imagine Indredible Hercules would consist of 3 or 4 volumes, so I am somewhat skeptical since it’s not as popular as Avengers or Spider-Man.

Not to be snarky in any way, but I would guess in Herc's case, it'll depend how well vol 1 sells. I believe those PAD X-Factor ones didn't sell, so they stopped the line. They are continuing the F4 by Hickman collections, as an example, so I think the real answer is "if it sells decent, we'll continue until we finish (or it stops selling decently)"

So only time will tell, but on books like Incredible Herc (which is literally one of my all-time faves!) we all need to buy it when it comes out to help us get a shot at a vol 2, 3, etc...

My fear is it will be a low seller Which is such a shame because it is a great run!

However, IIRC, Bendis' Avengers Complete Collections were being solicited one after the other, without any sales history. So before volume 1 was ever out, volumes 2 & 3 were already announced.

Same with the recent solicitations for the New Mutants Complete Collections. Well's New Mutants run was quickly followed by DNA's volume 1 & 2 which collected all 50 issues of New Mutants volume 3.

So crossing my fingers Incredible Herc vol 2 is announced in the next few months!

Oh the sad irony of an incomplete Complete Collection.

[ShooCat]

Oh the sad irony of an incomplete Complete Collection.

Lol. 'Incomplete Collection' just doesn't have the same ring to it, does it?

DC should coin the phrase for pretty much all of its trade lines...

What’s different between the new Exiles Complete Collections and the Ultimate Collections they released several years ago? (I wish they’d skip these stupid trades and just make an Omnibus for Exiles already)

I seldomly drop In here these days but I can help with that one: as far as I know no difference butI don't own the new version (by name only it seems). It was published to go along with the new Exiles series that naturally is already cancelled (or finished). So if you hope for more reprints don't get your hopes up. Last month I read every Exiles collection ever collected. Lots of mediocre issues, very few bad once and some great.

Tuesdays, for you in St.Louis, MO, which is Central Time that would be 2pm...give or take.

Well the word I would put is "naive"...
Solely based on history. Still hate they didn't finish X-Factor by Peter David... or She-Hulk for that matter.
