I quite liked Remenders run, more so the earlier Dimesion Z issues with JRJR than the latter stuff with Sam Wilson.
Id definetly be interested in an Omni of the run.

I figured Remender Cap omni would have been solicited with Civil War, but maybe we'll see it in Q3 or 4 with the blu-ray release. Maybe marvel is skipping it. I'd rather a Captain Marvel omni from marvel now than a Cap America one though.
The Wicked + The Divine. TMNT. Uncanny Avengers. Midnighter. IXth Generation. Daredevil. Morning Glories. Street Fighter. Fables. Uncanny X-Men. Bloodshot. Invincible. Ninjak. Mockingbird.
I'd probably get a Remander Cap omni for the story, as it was pretty good. The issue I have with it mainly is the JRjr art (I really dislike his style) and that the old age Cap stuff has stuck.
The guy doesn't need to be Cap, but I just dont like him being an old man.

Nope! The Classic X-Men issue reprinting UXM #167 was my first X-Men comic ever, and still what I think of as the definitive characterization of each team member. It's my single favorite X-Men comic of all time.
So, as boss as the Opena cover is, I'll be getting the classic cover.
Personally, I would not buy an OHC of Remender's Cap. After the first 5 issues or so I really enjoyed the new direction and the story. The second half was less then stellar but I still enjoyed much of it. After that, things went down pretty quickly. There were parts of the Iron Nail story I liked, I couldn't get into the artwork.
And then it finished in a hobbling introduction to Falcon as Cap. I was onboard for that, if nothing else for the Immonen art, but I got bored after a four issues or so and found myself getting annoyed that I was just reading a Falcon comic with nothing new or interesting and missing Steve's presence. I had assumed we'd see more of a team book with the two but that didn't develop.
A lot of Remender's work gets collected in omnibus form, so I wouldn't be surprised if Marvel did collect his Captain America. Now me personally, I wouldn't buy it but it would probably sell.
Yeah, the Dimension Z stuff was really cool. You also nailed the reason why I don't think Falcon Cap works. It's just the Falcon with a different coloured uniform, fine if you like the character but he's never interested me. At least with Bucky he was newly returned, went right along with Steve in the war and had comparable but different skills. He also knew exactly what Steve represented which made it much harder for him to live up to the legacy which in turn made it interesting.
With Falcon it felt a bit like they thought one of Steve's best friends worked before, why wouldn't another?
I'd agree but it's missing Rogue, Prof X and Illyana on the cover while Cyke & Logan get double coverage. Unless the cover is a wraparound and they're all on the back cover along with Binary, Caliban, Angel and Dracula. In that case, it would absolutely make it a must buy .Quote Originally Posted by krisis View Post

I've been going with classic covers as well but I would not have been too broken up if I had to "settle" for the immonen cover for the UXM vol 2. I thought it was pretty great.
What has he done other then X-force and Uncanny avengers that has been collected? I can't even think of any other titles he has been on. It also, obviously, depends on sales numbers. I admit, I have no idea how his Cap has been selling. But Considering Hawkeye, Thor, X-men and Deadpool have all received OHCs but not Cap, makes me think sales haven't been good enough to warrant another format.
Again though, I have no idea.
So is the DC/Marvel Crossovers Omnibus listed for December on the front page actually happening or is it still the running joke "haha we're never getting this" kind of thing?
