Finally. I have the first two completed collection trades and would probably skip the Omni if I could just get my hands on the next two trades but they're impossible to find. I might just have to get the Omni's.
For those who haven't had a chance to watch the video:
BLACK PANTHER BY CHRISTOPHER PRIEST VOLUME 1 in September 2022
Contains Black Panther (1998) #1-33, Deadpool (1997) #44 and material from Marvel Double Shot # 2.
This is slightly less than the first 2 complete trades. Hopefully the second omnibus volume should get the rest. I really hope they don't omit anything like The Crew or the Priest issues of Thor and Hulk that were included in the complete trades.
I've been working through the Coates OHC, I'm on the 2nd volume. Its been a bit of slog and half the time I have little idea what is going on. I generally prefer comics that have a bit more going on, but I think maybe my issue has been that this is someone who is not a comic writer per se. I've been a little disappointed so far- its not bad, but just hasn't grabbed me as I thought it would. It is starting to get better- not sure I'll pick up any more of the OHC, might just finish on Marvel Unlimited.
Just in time for an anniversary.
That's cool. I'll only be getting it if Spiderverse is in something resembling chronological order, rather than the OHC's "by title" ordering.

I'll probably end up preordering this as I don't have any of the Spider Geddon issues in collected format although I have the Spider-Verse OHC and the Edge of Spider-Verse TPB. Those really were oddly released what with Edge not being in the OHC and the messed up order of the issues in the OHC. IIRC, I got the OHC from Amazon at a glitch price so I won't feel too bad at doubling up.
I can understand them putting these two events together BUT a ton of stuff happens in between which will put any collectors Spidey chronological shelf (mine included) out of whack. There was Dead No More: The Clone Conspiracy, Secret Wars, Spider-Men II, Venom Inc. as well as Web Warriors. I probably would have preferred a separate Spider-Geddon Omnibus which would have also included Web Warriors. Btw, I kind of prefer the regular cover.
Gonna pass on that Spidey omni but obviously all over that Priest omni. Woot!
Looks like enough people ordered volume 1.
Was there ever any doubt there would be a vol. 2?
I mean, X-books and Spider-books sell themselves...
Ah, I didn't realize that reprint was a reprint.
I've pretty much given up on another Alpha Flight omni; none of the remaining material is well regarded among most fans (though I'd buy it). I would settle for some Epic Collections, however...
Watching Omar's recent solicits videos and researching upcoming collections - overall for comic collections in general, it seems almost all of the best comic runs have been collected. Marvel is diving into 90s stuff now and 95% of that stuff is utter garbage - really not worth owning. I mean outside of modern day current works obviously, 1990s material is pretty much all that's left uncollected from my angle.
Sure, people have all different starting points and wishlists, perhaps hoping for a reprint of a book that already came out theyve missed. But for me, ive been building my trade/HC collection for over a decade now and I feel like its reaching its end point. Hellblazer's 11 year tpb run is finally being topped off, Lobster Johnson is getting his 2 hardcovers - O'Neil's the Question finally getting collected - Berserk HCs should wrap up this upcoming year - Aaron's Thor deluxe HCs finally ending too with one final volume. Those look like the endgame for my library.
