This is a great idea. I have no idea how it will sell but this will remind people that there's more to comics and Stan Lee than super-heroes.
I always thought this would be a cool way to collect the Marvel Age. It would allow you to experience the creation of one of, if not the biggest fictional universes ever as it happened. I am curious to see if this will be a one off or a new line of Omnibuses. If it is ongoing I would be tempted to jump in and replace SA Volumes. They would need to up the time frame covered though I don’t think I would jump if it stays month for month. Also I would rather see more focused on just the super heroes as I don’t really have any interest in any of the other genres.
I brew the beer you drink. What's your super power?
I'm just glad that with these Omnibus announcements, not many of the recent ones have been ones I'm planning on picking up. Although, that can't be said with the current solicitations where I will be planning on picking up 5! Omnibuses. Talking of the current solicitations.....

Since I recently started preordering from a Polish online comics retailer, I've always opted for the DM covers. With this one, I will make the exception as the standard JRJR is IMHO clearly the far superior cover as it not only is excellent but best portrays the run itself (JRJR drew the first 10 issues) and also I never could get used to Sam Wilson being Cap.
