Anyone else order the Venom Gallery Edition?
It's sort of an odd little collection. but it's not often enough that we get to see Todd McFarlane's art all blown up.

Re: Busiek’s Iron Man
I would go as far as saying it’s the best Iron Man run of any volume since the first (classic) ended after Onslaught. I agree that it’s not quite up to par with Avengers or Thunderbolts, but those were also two of Marvel’s best books of the 90s. His Iron Man was pretty great.
I’ve never read Buisek’s Iron Man. I like the Matt Fraction run, and of course, Warren Ellis. I’m sure most people here have read those already.
Out of print, weren't in print very long compared to other books released at the time, and a popular and important run.
Also, Hickman is very much a long game writer who's work benefits from being read all at once instead of piecemeal in smaller collections. This is also why his Fantastic Four omnis became so pricey as soon as they went OOP. And because you had to switch back and forth between two titles for the story, it's kind of a nuisance to read in separate trades or OHCs compared to an omnibus.
So apparently it was recently announced that the Immortal Hulk run by Ewing is going to end with #50. So we're looking at 2 omnibus eventually?

The Busiek Iron Man is pretty good. It peters off towards the end, so that when Quesada took over for his amazing arc I was primed for a change. I'd say buy the first complete collection and see if you like it.
For me, Iron Man goes...
1) Fraction
2) Ellis / Knaufs
3) Busiek
4) Quesada
Didn't like Gillen or Bendis, never read the Michelinie run.

My kingdom for a Fraction Iron Man omni.
