Stoked to see all this Spidey stuff coming out, but at the same time disappointed because it includes very little previously uncollected material.
As an example, for the Wolverine one-shot and the storyline alone, the Kraven's Last Hunt Epic will be a day one buy for me, but only #289 was previously uncollected, and almost everything else (#290-294 plus tie-ins) is included in an old The Wedding TPB and the Kraven's Last Hunt PHC/TPB. Heck, they could've even included the 3-issue "Life in the Mad Dog Ward" storyline by Nocenti. Again, nitpicking and all, but it would've been neat to get ASM Epic Collection Vol. 16 first and get a good chunk of uncollected issues (now we know it will collect #273-288).
It's a good thing to know about the nineteenth Masterwork. I'm sure the listing is wrong, I don't think #193 will be included in both Vol. 18 and Vol. 19. And again, since there was a "Return of the Burglar" PHC a while back, the only previously uncollected numbers are #201-202. Still, one or two more years tops, and we reach the Stern omni!
As for the Tangled Web omni, I just ordered the very first TPB of the series to complete my set, so I'll pass for the time being. Great option for anyone who hasn't given it a go, though.
Tangled Web is fantastic, I have the original trades of this book and if I can sell them for anything at all I'll upgrade to the omnibus. One of my favourite Spider-man books.
Let's hope that the amazon.com price tag of $100 for the Tangled Web Omni is a mistake. That's way too pricey. It's only 560 pages and shouldn't really be priced more than $75. It's not as of there were any expensive reproduction costs.
Darwyn Cooke has two stories in the Tangled Web omnibus. I bought the two trades just for them after he died. They're good, but this is a really, really strange omnibus choice. Especially because I think you can get every one of the trades for like $4? I think I paid $6 total for the two I bought. Usually that means people didn't think the material was very good, or important enough to keep . . .
With Netflix announcing the rounding out of the Punisher cast and stating it will come out late 2017 I'm cautiously optimistic for an Ennis Punisher Omni reprint.
We have gotten the Miller and now Brubaker Omni's reprinted. Also are getting the SA vol.1 from the Daredevil seasons.
Punisher doesn't have much that is in demand to reprint on the Omni front and no material for a BA vol.1 that I know of currently.

I think if anything called for a reprint to accompany the MCU venture, it would be the Punisher by Ennis. And the timing of Steve Dillon's (untimely and hearbreaking) passing means marvel has the chance to get the Omni into the hands of fans and spare them the absurdity of after market prices.
That being said we are hitting a critical mass of omnis for realistic reprints. Everyone wants so many. It was easy when there were only 30 volumes, but now that there are like 125 (maybe) and we have been getting reprints of reprints. It's harder to guess. All these "for sure" reprints and "for sure" new omnis could be way down the line. Marvel may have another Punisher Omni planned and spaced from years ago that they are going to release.
The Wicked + The Divine. TMNT. Uncanny Avengers. Midnighter. IXth Generation. Daredevil. Morning Glories. Street Fighter. Fables. Uncanny X-Men. Bloodshot. Invincible. Ninjak. Mockingbird.
yes, every reprint can take the place of a new omnibus...such as the Ultimate Marvel omnibus. Or the 90's first omnibus. Or Women of Marvel. Or Marvel Now. Or even ones that nobody asked for but some people will take it now that they exist like Clone saga and this Tangled web one. Or Werewolf by night (I have that one). Or Howard the Duck.
Does anybody have a list of all the titles/runs that were released under the Marvel "Classic" Line? Like the Nova Classics and stuff. I've been looking for all the titles they released under that Line of books.
From the Marvel Masterworks webpage:

If you go up one level to "Storefront", they have many pages like this for Epic/Ultimate line, Omnibus/OHCs, PHCs, etc.
