All New Marvel Collected Editions

Wow, I'm suprised with the amount of supporters the Shadowland Omni has. At the time of its realease, people got really vocal about their displeasure with the direction of the book, which in turn got us Waid's 'swashbuckler' run.
Since we're discussing nominees, I'd like to ask your opinions on one of my nomitations: Kyle & Yost' X-Force. Would anyone buy it?

I think it was marred in too many crossovers to really be a standalone, coherent read if i remember correctly.

[Captain Planet]

There was a gem among the turds of 90s X-Men comics? Who knew?

I will always love Executioner's....excuse me...X-cutioner's Song. And while I have a nonsensical attachment to Onslaught, I do recognize that it is not a gem.

It's definitely worthy. Only reason I might not buy it is because I already own the OHCs.

I would, even though I have all the OHCs already. My X-Necrosha OHC arrived damaged pretty bad so I'm itching to change it. And it would fit prettily beside the Uncanny X-Force Omni.

Also: X-Men Omnibus Mapping, Part 3 is up - it covers from 2001 to 2008.

Thanks a lot Krisis. First single issue comic I ever bought was in Austen's Hope arc so I have this illogical affinity towards his whole run. Let's make it happen people!!

Ladies, Gentleman, Ruffians, and Scoundrels;

Its the time honored tradition of letting the Marvel community know what our most wanted Omnibus' are. There is only one major change this year.

Please send your votes to MarvelOmniSecretBallot@gmail.com

By creating a separate email account it allows for more inclusion, for those who lurk, and for those who can reach out to others whom have comic based podcasts or websites, comic shops, or even other friends who want to partake. I am striving to maintain a minimum of 150+ voters but honestly would love to catalpult the number of participants to the next level. The more votes we get, the better our sample---heck if we get enough votes to merit it, I would be willing to do a Top 100.

Just rank your ten choices from number 1--(your most wanted) through number 10 and then send them to me in an email.

Your 1st place vote is worth 10 points, 2nd place gets 9 points.... and your 10th place vote is worth 1 point.

1. 10 points
2. 9 points
3. 8 points
4. 7 points
5. 6 points
6. 5 points
7. 4 points
8. 3 points
9. 2 points
10. 1 point

Please bump the thread once you have voted, so the link stays on the front page.

Please be as specific as possible in your choices... If you want a Black Panther Omnibus make sure you make it clear that you mean either Kirby's, Priest's, or Hudlin's run, or maybe you meant Jungle Action. Be as detailed as you can in your votes unless you feel it is self explanatory. Dont say Peter David's Hulk, the man wrote it for nearly two decades. Please break it down by issue numbers and/or long running artist if applicable. Any book that was previously licensed by Marvel is eligible for voting as are defunct lines (Epic) and purchased properties (Crossgen, etc.)

Most importantly, this is a SECRET ballot, do not post your complete list on the thread as it does take the fun out of it a bit. If you would like to nominate something that did not make the TOP 50 last year so it jogs people's memories, I will allow for that.

Ten of the omnibus from last years poll have been released or solicited since the results.


Last Day to Vote will be Midnight Eastern time on May 7th. Happy Voting

Bumpety Bump!

I sent in my Top 10 by email. I did some last minute tweaking as I realised I didn't want to orphan several Vol. 1's which I have on my shelves. I'm looking forward to the final results.

Is X-Force: Cable & The New Mutants an Oversized HC? Or a regular one?

It's a Marvel Premiere Classic, which are all standard-size hardcover.

Great book, I got the bordered Direct Market variant for $9.99 from Mile High Comics back in 2011.

Liefeld art. Gross. You couldn't pay me to take that book

[AstonishingXMan]

I love his New Mutants art, it fit at the time and breathed life into the book. I also like having everything in glossy new print, instead of 80's-90's thin muddy newspaper quality.

I'll take New Mutants' Liefeld over Greg Land, Steve Dillon, Humberto Ramos, Bryan Hitch and many "big" artists today. But it was a different time back then. Comics were wackier.

I'd take a 3-year-old drawing stick figures over Humberto Ramos. Half the time I can't even tell what the hell is going on in his panels.

I don't like Liefeld's art but I agree, that it was a different time and it was something that worked at that time.

On a side note I always enjoyed Dillon's work. It wasn't as detailed or realistic as others but it was very clean and his characters always had very distinguished looks. I'll miss his work.

LOL, I like Ramos' art. It's funny how everyone has their likes and dislikes and different tastes.

[FlashingSabre]

Add me to,the Ramos, is trash group. I wouldnt have liked Slotts Spidey or Lemires X-Men no matter what, but Ramos' art certainly didnt help them.

[awayne83]

Ramos is great. A good fit for Spidey, and i thought he was killing it on Champions.

[Colonel Mortimer]

I think Ramos is so awful. Probably my least favorite regular artist in the Big 2. I'll take Greg Land over him any day, and I'm no Greg Land fan.
