All New Marvel Collected Editions

Avengers by Byrne! I am missing a couple of the trade for that run!

Standoff is the new ANAD Avengers crossover right? God, secret wars isn't even done....

Yeah, Standoff starts in February and carries over into a bunch of titles:

COLLECTING: WELCOME TO PLEASANT HILL PROLOGUE 1, ASSAULT ON PLEASANT HILL ALPHA 1, AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. 3-4, UNCANNY AVENGERS 7, ALL-NEW, ALL-DIFFERENT AVENGERS 7-8, NEW AVENGERS 8-10, CAPTAIN AMERICA: SAM WILSON 7-8, UNCANNY AVENGERS 8, ILLUMINATI 6, HOWLING COMMANDOS 6, ASSAULT ON PLEASANT HILL OMEGA 1

According to Amazon, the Avengers by Byrne omni collects the following:

WEST COAST AVENGERS (1985) 42-46; AVENGERS WEST COAST 47-62, ANNUAL 4; AVENGERS (1963) 305-318, ANNUAL 18

This appears to be WCA Omnibus Volume 3, with some extra Byrne thrown in on the main Avengers title to flesh it out. I wonder if they will follow up with another volume to capture his earlier Avengers work (164–166, 181–191), though I've already grabbed these in recent TPBs. While the inclusion of AWC 58-62 is appreciated, they aren't Byrne's.

gosh darn it, now I have to buy it because I was one of those idiots constantly moaning about WCA v3 but probably have to pay a Byrne tax or something (also, didn't plan to buy MArvel omnis because of the price-quality ratio but if it's not another Kung-fu taxed book I think I'm gonna get it).
Anyone has an isbn number? I can't find it on amazon.

Those early Byrne Avengers issues are scheduled to be in the Marvel Universe by Byrne Omnibus. I'm very happy we're finally getting the lions share of his Marvel work in an oversized format.

Right you are! Their inclusion in the earlier of next year's Byrne omnis had slipped my mind, probably due to the hodgepodge nature of that MU volume. Thanks for the reminder.

For me personally, I'd much more prefer his runs on Hulk, Alpha Flight and The Thing.

Surely the new hatchette is almost available by now

[JJ87]

So, I recently (finally!) acquired Civil War, Avengers vs X-Men and Original Sin at bargain prices (less than $20 each), and added them to my Earth-616 event shelf. I dislike the binding on AvX, it feels like it could come apart at any moment, but for 10 bucks I couldn't let it pass.

Thing is, when reading them chronologically, I find the change from Civil War to Secret Invasion a tad abrupt. I am aware that some time passed between these two storylines, and probably the Death of Captain America omni would fit in nicely in between, but a) I don't want to embark on a hundreds-of-dollars quest to get all of Brubaker's run in omnibus, and b) That is the most expensive omni of his run in the second hand market.

Is there an OHC Civil War prologue or something that you guys would suggest to sandwich in between these two? Maybe Fallen Son (I didn't read it when it came out so I'm not sure about its quality, but maybe it could fit in as an interlude of sorts)?

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet already, but it looks like some new hardcovers through July have been added to Amazon. The ones that stand out to me are the Avengers by John Byrne Omnibus, Avengers: Time Runs Out(complete storyline) and Avengers: Standoff!.

To complement the HC Amazon fish above, notable TPBs through July include the following:

X-Men: Inferno Vol. 2 - collects UNCANNY X-MEN (1981) 241-243, EXCALIBUR (1988) 6-7, X-FACTOR (1986) 37-40, NEW MUTANTS (1983) 73, CLOAK & DAGGER (1988) 4, POWER PACK (1984) 44

Incredible Hulk Epic Collection: Man or Monster? (Vol. 1) - collects INCREDIBLE HULK (1962) 1-6; FANTASTIC FOUR (1961) 12, 25-26; AVENGERS (1963) 1-3, 5; AMAZING SPIDER-MAN (1963) 14; TALES TO ASTONISH (1959) 59; JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY (1952) 112

Daredevil Epic Collection: The Man Without Fear (Vol. 1) - collects DAREDEVIL (1964) 1-21

[Near Mint]

We can have both: along with BND CC, there's Spider-Man: Tombstone vol. 1, which has got to be Gerry Conway's run on Web and Spectacular from late80s/early 90s. Only that title makes me think they might not collect all of it, just the parts with Tombstone, and that's an idea I don't agree with.

Amazon finally shows what this Spider-Man: Tombstone Volume 1 contains:

SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN (1976) 137-150, MATERIAL FROM SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN ANNUAL 8

[Peter Parker]

To complement the HC Amazon fish above, notable TPBs through July include the following:

X-Men: Inferno Vol. 2 - collects UNCANNY X-MEN (1981) 241-243, EXCALIBUR (1988) 6-7, X-FACTOR (1986) 37-40, NEW MUTANTS (1983) 73, CLOAK & DAGGER (1988) 4, POWER PACK (1984) 44

Incredible Hulk Epic Collection: Man or Monster? (Vol. 1) - collects INCREDIBLE HULK (1962) 1-6; FANTASTIC FOUR (1961) 12, 25-26; AVENGERS (1963) 1-3, 5; AMAZING SPIDER-MAN (1963) 14; TALES TO ASTONISH (1959) 59; JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY (1952) 112

Daredevil Epic Collection: The Man Without Fear (Vol. 1) - collects DAREDEVIL (1964) 1-21

That was a long overdue DD Epic. is spectacular on the Epic track as well? it seems more like they are pulling in web and spect as needed to complement ASM. Is there a reasonable expectation that the Tombstone stuff will be collected in an ASM epic?

[Near Mint]

When I first saw X-Men Inferno Volume 1 solicited, I was hopeful that Marvel might take the approach of the most recent multi-volume TPB reprint of AoA that covered the contents of both the main AoA omnibus and its companion volume. However, now that Volume 2 is revealed on Amazon, its contents make me doubt the likelihood of seeing a hypothetical Volume 3 that would complete the Inferno OHC + Inferno Crossovers. Volume 2 exhausts the remaining issues of UXM, XF, NM, and even Excalibur, leaving no X-title appeal to a proposed third volume (the sole possible exception being X-Factor Annual #4, which is thus far unrepresented in Volumes 1 & 2).

Here is what Volume 3 would need to include:

AVENGERS (1963) #298-300, FANTASTIC FOUR (1961) #322-324, AMAZING SPIDER-MAN (1962) #311-313, SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN (1976) #146-148, WEB OF SPIDER-MAN #47-48, DAREDEVIL (1964) #262-263 & #265

Hard to picture how Marvel could successfully market that as an X-event volume. Then again, the Inferno Crossovers omni may have sold so poorly that perhaps their intent is to cherry-pick only the most closely related tie-ins for this reprint.

Very good news regarding the Avengers Byrne (AWC 3) Omnibus. Let's hope it stays at the $100 mark. 992 is a decent page count at that price.

[Chrisko]

For me personally, I'd much more prefer his runs on Hulk, Alpha Flight and The Thing.

I agree with you completely on Alpha Flight being a superior run. And hopefully this bodes well for omnibus of that soon. I also enjoyed Byrne's hulk run but it wasn't nearly long enough to do an omnibus. It would make a nice OHC though. I never read his Thing run. He only wrote most of those issues didn't he? I thought someone else did the majority of the art.
