All New Marvel Collected Editions

[Captain Craig]

Another omnibus coming in November.

Savage Avengers Omnibus
I figured this would not hit till next year. I sold all my single issues and will debate getting this.
I liked it but can't say I LOVED it and am debating the relaunch volume two.

That WOLVERINE EPIC COLLECTION: TOOTH AND CLAW TPB cover is one ugly cover, geez!

And there's some ugly content under that cover to match!

This is the last reprint announcement before this year's reprint poll. Almost all of last year's top 20 have been or will be reprinted by the end of 2022.

Secret Wars (original)

Secret Wars (original)

The last printing of this was 100 dollars, for 12 + 4 issues. That's pretty crazy. Are those 4 tie in issues necessary, or would I be just fine with getting the paperback version that leaves out those 4 issues?

This review says the 4 issues are "superfluous" (unnecessary) to the 12 (but compliments one Dan Slott story, written 20 years after Secret Wars, anyway).

Unfortunately not. AFAIK, the only issue that's ever been collected is Slingers 0, which was included in Marvel Firsts: The 1990s omni and Ben Reilly: Scarlet Spider (2017) TPB 2

And I had the chance to buy the whole run for 25 Euros....lol.

Got to give it to him, he could big up and get excited for a tin of white paint.

Secret Wars was a pretty cynical marketing ploy to sell toys. Although Shooter was always a promising writer before he became editor-in-chief, Secret Wars is a mess of a story that barely hangs together. Even more surprised to see the supposed importance of the story being pinnted on introducing the symbiote costume which was already introduced in other comics (Secret Wars came out quite a while after the comics that that were supposed to have be taking place at the same time).

I think the indisputable "cynical marketing ploy" thing is almost belabored at this point. I'm most amazed at how well it "hangs together" (barely or not, one's mileage on that point may vary) despite its dubious, even shameful, origins. It's fun, with some great and epic moments/interactions, even if it's dumb/flawed fun.

The only times I've seen Omar less than fully enthused is for stuff like the August 1961 or more obscure titles like Classics Illustrated or Knights of Pendragon. He gets most excited for his personal favorites (PAD, Claremont X-Men, New Warriors).

Secret Wars was a total marketing ploy, but the series was enjoyed by the readers at the time. Even the material that was hated when it came out (The Crossing, Clone Saga) is fondly remembered through nostalgia.

I see. Thanks.

I was hoping when they finally reprinted Secret Wars they would add Secret Wars 2 at the very least

Hopefully the reprint of 1 sells well enough that we get a reprint of 2. Would love to have that one as well.
