Got the Silva cover. SHA-BOING!
Heart would've given out if both X omnis had come out today
Based on the last 8/9 months, the fact that ANY cover of an X-Men omnibus is still available 3+ hours later...a celebration may be warranted!
I know it's a loooong way off, but does anyone think there will be an UXM vol. 6, considering pretty much everything from #210 forward is already collected in an oversized format?
I'm sure there are those that would buy it to have large chunks of the title between the same two covers, but the amount of double-dipping means vol. 5 would probably be my last.
Would be nice if the two Spidey Last Remains trade paperbacks were brought out as one book like they did with the Hunted book that was volume 4 of Spencer’s run. That one had all the .1 tie-in issues and the regular issues. And I think they were even in proper reading order!
Gotta wonder how this decision got made.
Doubtful. They’ve just broken into volume 5s for the first time so 6 feels like a stretch. Plus it would be a complete double dip at that point. May as well just reprint OHCs and omnis that already exist. The next oversized hardcover gap for Uncanny would be the equivalent of volume 10 or higher.

My feeling is that UXM vol. 5 is the last sequential Omni for the UXM line. Because as stated the material has been collected in OHC already.
However, that said, we have seen with Mutant Massacre that they aren't above rebranding a prior OHC into an Omni. So, maybe they do rebrand an OHC into a vol.6 at some point? I doubt it but I don't discount the outside chance of it either.
I do feel that for the longer running SA Omnis that are inching into Bronze Age material they too will start colliding with prior collected volumes. Amazing Spider-man being one. Isn't it getting close to the Hobgoblin Saga Omni by Stern? Would a sixth Omni take that line to a "completion"?

Volume 6 would presumably be 181-223 + annuals (Stern's omni includes 206, but starts sequentially at 224), which is a bit on the big side, but certainly within the range of ASM omnis. After that, 253-295 remain un-omnibused*, then you hit the two Michelinie + artist omnis. After that, there's the end of Michelinie's run + a few issues leading into the Clone Saga not yet collected in the omnibus format. Hopefully, we get Spectacular omnis once all that is done (or maybe even before, fingers crossed)
*My preference would be a Alien Costume Saga omni that just concatenates the two fat tpbs, then 264-295+crossovers as a "Spider-man: Black Costume" omni, but other opinions are welcome

Just one more quick question since I was going to set up an account tomorrow to begin preordering my "most wanteds" from DCBS, you've never had an issue where they didn't hold your copy of something and sold out before they shipped it? That has not happened to me with ToW, but I know it is a possibility. Though from what I understand of DCBS, they place orders with the suppliers based on the pre-orders they received by the order due date.
