All New Marvel Collected Editions

[TheTurtleDog]

@TheTurtleDog - a BIG thanks for updating the Omnibus lists.

West Coast Avengers Omnibus Volume 1 should be moved from Almost Out of Print to Out of Print. It's available from CGN but at an OOP price.
Also, The Muppet Babies Omnibus is missing from the Readily Available list.

Thank you for the feedback, Raffi. I didn't even know there was a Muppet Babies Omnibus. I will add it to my tracking sheet. With respect to WCA Volume 1, CGN still has it for sale at 20% off MSRP. I think it's been like that for a couple years so I have left it on the "Almost" list for now but will continue to keep an eye on it.

Someone unloaded a chunk of their collection at my local HPB. Quite a few epics here too. No telling what was here but sold before I showed up.

[Rimmer]

Man, they would've gotten next to nothing for cash at HPB. But perhaps the owner died and his/her spouse or kids just wanted to get rid of them. Or person was in a jam and needed $ fast that an Ebay firesale wouldn't bring.
But this is why I cruise my local HPBs at least once a month, for gems like that.

Yep I had a friend try and take a couple collected editions there a while back and he gladly walked out with his stuff.

Some of those priced at $130 and $100 I know they gave the seller like $30 and $20 bucks for. It's ridiculous. I'm trying to understand where the "Half Price" comes in. They dont sell things for half price(Retail or Resale) nor do they pay people half price for their items lol

Some of the epics were at like $20 lmao I can buy brand new epics for that or less.

About the Biggest X-men Gaps that need OHC & Omnibus I'd suggest these:


X-Men: The Lost Years (Amazing Adventures #11-17 (transformation of The Beast), Incredible Hulk #150, 161, 172, & 180-181 (debut of Wolverine), Amazing Spider-Man #92, Marvel Team-Up #4, 23, & 38, Avengers #110-111, Captain America #172-175, Defenders #15-16, and Giant-Size Fantastic Four #4 + Fantastic Four (1961) #102-104 and Amazing Adventures Vol. 2 (1970) #9-10 + 22-issue series of “X-Men: The Hidden Years”)

and the 2 omnibus Krisis suggested:

X-Men: Crossroads Omnibus (UXM #199-209 + Ann 9-10, NM 35-45 + Ann 2 & Special Edition, X-Factor #1-8 + Ann 1, Marvel Fanfare #33, Alpha Flight #33-34, X-Men: Heroes for Hope, Firestar #1-4, Fantastic Four #286, Avengers #263)

X-Men: Before the Fall Omnibus (Collects Uncanny X-Men #215-219 & Annual 11, X-Factor #12-17 & Annual 2, and New Mutants #47-54 & Ann 3, Mephisto vs. X-Factor, Mephisto vs X-Men, Spiderman and Wolverine #1, Marvel Fanfare #38 (Rogue/Dazzler backup), X-Men vs Fantastic Four #1-4, X-Men vs Avengers #1-4, Fallen Angels #1-8, and Marvel Super-Heroes #1 (Magik story))


it would be the best way to include the mini series and crossovers and moove on to other X-factor (90's by Peter David, J. M. DeMatteis and Todd DeZago) and New Mutants Omnibus (it would continue from a 1st NM Omnibus)

Man, I hope we get one of these with the Dark Phoenix film!
Other OHCs it would be great timing for:
X-Men: Phoenix Song by Pak OHC (Endsong and Warsong collection)
X-Men: Family Ties OHC to collect the remaining gaps and miniseries between X-Cutioners Song and Phalanx Covenant OHCs (including Bloodties and The Wedding)

Wow, a lot of interesting things!

Thanks for sharing.

I know when people try to sell comic-y things anywhere, while something might "sell for " or "be worth" $100.00, that is only for "them". When you go sell it, they want to pay you only 10-20% of that value, so that they can sell it for the "valued" price, making 5-10 times what they pay you.

I had a friend that happened to at multiple buyers, comics shop, etc. He needed room and so sold things at low prices, even though most things were in perfect condition. They definitely want to make 5X at least, what they buy it from you and they know the valued price. It is sad.

I've been wondering, what do you guys like to see on the spine, just text or text and images? I like the latter. Especially when the book is more than one volume long. Looks really nice to see images to go with the text on the spine.

Personally my favorite is black background, artsy/logo title and a character art at the bottom.
I really dislike the busy WoK spine and I'm not a big fan of the silver age plain white block letters.

I get that but I'm someone who has a bunch of books I need to sell. I really don't feel like bothering with shipping and ebay hassle for some 20-50$ TPB bundles (even omnis) but at the same time going to HPB and getting a cheap deal gives me a bad taste so I'm still stuck with my pile of books gathering dust...

Lets hope someone at Marvel Collected editions department reads Krisis posts!
I'd really like to read the Fallen Angels in Omni size, with New Mutants or if as Krisis compiled it, even better!

But without Black Panther, New Mutants or Infinity War Omninus I'm not hoping for great anouncements with the movies...

Of course they do, how else could they keep continuity straight?

Plus the Cyclops/Professor X pages from (Adventures into) Fear #20 to wrap up the Morbius plotline from MTU #4!

Can I ask where that is? I need that Micheline/McFarland Spiderman.

Dallas, TX -- Well, Cedar Hill, TX.
I believe they have it priced at $129.99

Man, I almost feel like anything is better than the robbery that is HPB.

Right.
HPB will legit tell a guy that a $100 book is only worth $10 lol
I went in another HPB a week ago and They had a couple omnibus' in there also.

The location I took that picture at NEVER really has anything. Especially not that much. So someone really blessed them. I think last time I went they had one omnibus and it was the Millar Wolverine one. They never have that much or stuff that good.

[World1]

I never knew that Invisibles omnibus was so massive.

[TomSlick]

I never knew that Invisibles omnibus was so massive.

It might very well be the biggest omnibus to date among the big two.

[Judge Dredd]

It might very well be the biggest omnibus to date among the big two.

Doom Patrol is up there among the big 2 also thing is massive closest I have seen from the marvel side is Thor.
