All New Marvel Collected Editions

[Peter Parker]

I want "What if..." collected dammit.

Were any of the pre uncanny xmen comics worth a read, or are they all terrible?

The Lee/Kribt stuff is cool as an original for a lot of the classic stuff.

I would buy a What If omni first day of release!

It is collected! Well, the original 1977-84 series, at least - that entire What If? series (minus a few issues due to copyright) is collected in What If? Classics volumes 1-7. Then, the more modern What If stories about specific events are all collected as well.

Unfortunately, now I realize you probably meant the 1989 series, and there are no specific collections of that to my knowledge - just a smattering of single issues.

First of all, which story line are you refering to?

In general the Onslaught story does not get much love from the community but I would argue that it is a culmination point for some long teasered events. Can its influence still be felt today? No I do not think so. But it was my first 90s crossover I ever read and therefore I am biased to say it was fun and I am a sucker for 90s art.

I really really liked the X-Force / X-Man storyline.

Trades, dirty trades. Give me an omnibus! Lol

Haven't been able to get in touch with IST after putting in an order lsst week. Anyone had better luck? They are usually pretty great about communication.
Edit: yeah, I ordered Wednesday and messaged them on Thursday with a question regarding the product.
Just venting, but sort if frustrating waiting this long for a reply and/or shipping confirmation

The original series has been collected, almost 100%. One humor issue I remember really liking had a bunch of one page gags, like What If Moon Knight fought Snowbird in a blizzard & the page would be completely blank white. Another was "What if Aunt May was Ant Man". LOL

Beat me to it!

I'd be up for a continuation of the What If Classic line to include the late 80s series! The first couple of years they had some pretty good issues in there! A few good ones I remember off the top of my head: WI the Alien Costume possessed Spider-Man, WI the Avengers lost the Evolutionary War, WI the FF all had the same powers, WI Wolverine was an agent of SHIELD, WI Spider-Man didn't marry MJ, WI Spidey married the Black Cat, WI the Hulk killed Wolverine, and I don't remember what all else! A fun series.

Another one I'd like to see collected is What The--?! That was a humor series that ran sporadically in the late 80s/early 90s (first it was a limited series, then regular series, then quarterly, etc). It had some of the top creators of the day contributing as well. McFarlane, Byrne, Jim Lee all did a few pages here and there. Good stuff! And pretty funny also.

Trades, dirty trades. Give me an omnibus! Lol

I'd take any format ... Just reprint them already!

So, Secret Wars sure was... something? Interesting way for Hickman to bring his multiple year Marvel saga to a close.

At least the art was fantastic, weird duck faces aside.

EDIT: Speaking of Hickman, I am about to put the Secret Warriors Omnibus up on eBay for cover. If any of my fellow boarders are interested, let me know.

Captain America: Man Without a Country comes out this week. Is it good?

Captain America: Man Without a Country comes out this week. Is it good?

Yes! At least I think. I get Mark Waid's run all mixed up since I read it all at once but I believe this covers the Operation Rebirth story line and it's considered pretty great. At the time of it's release people were pretty upset since the run was well liked but cut short by Heroes Reborn. After that failed Waid was put back on Cap but it didn't quite get it's groove back.

Personally, I like most of it and if I didn't already own it in MPC I would definitely pick this up. I haven't read all the issues included but I have read 444-454 and they are pretty great Cap comics. Probably the best in a loooong time up to that point.

The Lee/Kirby stuff is pretty and classic but pretty bad. The Thomas/Adams stuff injected some life but it wasn't until Claremont that they really had some great comics.

Waid's run was the first time I actually enjoyed Cap after trying to get into this book several times before.

I'll be picking it up and selling my MPC's, because the Epic Collections will ultimately be more complete (I assume?).
