All New Marvel Collected Editions

[Bri]

Received my weekly Fed Ex delivery from IST.
Judging by the box they had apparently shipped me a table. This turned out to be the "Monsters Unleashed" hardcover.
This thing is awesome.
I hope Marvel uses the format for some Classic runs.
(Lee/Kirby FF, particularly the "Galactus trilogy”, or some Simonson Thor issues would be great.)

Of note. I also received the "Inhumans Vs. X-men" collection. By size the "Monsters" is about 10 times the book. Both have the same cover price.

With my discount the IVX book is a bit overpriced, the Monsters book is a bargain.
How does Marvel determine its pricing? Darts and numbers on a spinning wheel?

So, we have:
NOVEMBER = Deadpool & X-Force Omnibus
JANUARY = Deadpool & Co Omnibus
FEBRUARY = Deadpool by Way vol.1 Omnibus
MARCH = Deadpool Minibus vol.0 (do you think this will collect remaining 616 material in Classics vol.14-15 or remaining alternate DP stuff from vol.17? All of it seems to big for a "Minibus")

Who would bet the DP OHC "Cash-in" will continue until Deadpool 2 premiere in June and, if so, what's your predictions?
Mine is:
APRIL = Deadpool and the Thunderbolts Omnibus
MAY = "Deadpool and the Marvel Universe" OHC / Omnibus, collecting numerous guest-star issues and supporting roles, like multiple Wolverine issues, Identity Disc, Fear Itself: Uncanny X-Force, etc
JUNE = Deadpool by Way vol.2 Omnibus (sounds too soon after vol.1, but what else is there?)

That would collect everything DP pre-Secret Wars in Omnibus / Minibus format!

Not a huge Deadpool fan, but I hope we get a Deadpool MAX reprint. Big David Lapham fan though

Do you guys think there's any chance of a Agents of Atlas by Jeff Parker Omnibus?
I huge fan of the Agents of Atlas but I'm curious if there would be any demand for an Omni

Disagree so much with these runs.

I actually think they read better as independent series until Infinity, and then again until Time Run Out.

When they are intertwined, I actually think you lose half of the subtleties of each series because you have to concentrate so hard on remembering where you are and how X slips in alongside Y.

There is no having to remember where you are or how x slips in alongside y if it's already given to you in a proper reading order (unlike the ohc's). The material is still grouped together in their respective story arcs - it's not like you're reading one issue of one arc then a different issue of a different arc, etc.

Thanks. Knowing that, I think I'll get the book. It will make it an easier reading experience than the OHCs. Although I don't if anything can make the last 4 or 5 issues enjoyable.

Scratching my head on this one. The last 4-5 issues of Times Runs Out are some of the most jaw-dropping, emotional, fun, crazy, thought-provoking issues Marvel has put out in years.

This. I actually vastly prefer the OHCs the way they are already. The series is only intertwined during Infinity and Time Runs Out, both of which were already collected interwoven in OHC form. The other stuff is all almost completely independent of each other and reads perfectly in separate OHCs.

And they are only intertwined in the omnibus where they need to be. You vastly prefer stopping midway through one OHC to pick up the other? You vastly prefer having an entire half of an OHC be repeated again in another OHC?

I'd probably pick up a Deadpool Thunderbolts. I always liked the Red Hulk. Plus Charles Soule wrote have the run and I like most of his stuff.

This is one of my dream omnibus' but I don't think its likely

[The Cheat]

Has it been announced if the Dr Strange, Sorcerer Supreme series will be collected in Epic format? Wondering if I should grab the omni or just wait for the Epics (which I'd prefer).

An Epic collection for the last 15ish issues of Dr. Strange, Sorcerer Supreme is coming out in October. So DS, SS will be covered in the Epic series.

I can't wait for the Excalibur Epic vol. 2!
The first one was stuffed with extras that I had never read before like the Marvel Comics Presents stuff, so I'm excited to see the contents for the second one.

Even though I have the X-Men Omnibuses, I'm tempted to double dip on epics because they're so easy to read and carry about. Does anyone else double dip like this?

I double dip with Daredevil. I have all the Marvel Masterworks HCs and the Daredevil Silver Age Omnibus Vol. 1 (as well as quite a few of the floppies). I don't regret getting either. It's not so much for ease of reading, I just like to have both formats available. I also have the Daredevil Waid OHCs and the Daredevil Waid Omnibus Vol. 1. I'll be picking up Volume 2. I may or may not sell off the OHCs.

So Hickman's Avengers is just as bad as I remember, exacerbated by the "chronological" ordering of the New Avengers and Avengers issues.

I've been craving some more modern Marvel, but it seems OHCs/Omnibuses are more and more uncommon.

Hickman Avengers is awesome hopefully they do vol 2 as quickly as they did with FF omnibus.

I liked Hickman's Avengers run, especially the New Avengers.

[mike1981]

I think I'm the only person who dislikes Hickman, especially his Avengers. I just find it so... dumb.

Constant repetition of silly lines like "the machine is broken," lack of any real characterization, and a complete tonal miss of what the Avengers are. And the science, ugh the science.

I thought I'd give it another go after seeing all the love on here and other boards, but I just can't get through it.
