Why buy it in TPB form when you can still get the hardcover? ;-)

Never really noticed it before but we've already gotten Omnibus editions of all the Heroes Return Marvel titles except FF:
Thor by Jurgens/JRjr
Cap by Waid, Garney & Kubert
Iron Man by Busiek
Avengers by Busiek/Perez
Hopefully the FF will join them soon. Really dug the Heroes Return FF book by Lobdell & Davis back in the day, too bad they were only around for the first 3 relaunched issues. I stuck around with Claremont/Larocca for a while afterwards and it started okay but quickly became ... impenetrable. I remember not liking it about halfway thru the run and ended up dropping it off my monthly pull list because I felt like I never knew what was going on. I'd like to re-read it in large chunks to see if my opinion has changed over the years.
Does anyone happen to have pictures of the Marvel Legacy Oversized Hardcover?
Can anyone share their thoughts on the stories collected in the upcoming Deadpool Minibus? I like Kelly's run and the Duggan/Posehn run, don't care much for Bunn's writing though so I've passed on the previous 2 minibus collections.
Thanks!
As it is often the case with Deadpool you get a mixed bag: The Fear Itself Tie In was not rememberable at all and even for completists not desirable. The same goes for the collected Annuals, it was an alternate reality story which felt pretty flat. I remember that I did not like the very forced "funny" parts of the story.
That being said: I enjoyed Suicide Kings when it came out and have reread it. I liked the art (Barberi fits Deadpool's view of things I guess, weapons, female attributes) and the interaction with other characters felt not as forced as so many other attempts these days. It also had some great poolovision moments if I remember correctly.
Wade Wilsons War is also an alternate setting which works very well, I also liked the supporting cast. I guess that I do not really remember Pulp all too well, maybe a good reason to reread this one.
I will be picking it up, it is really crazy how many Deadpool Omnibi and OHCs are or were available.
Hatchette has specs on the FF books now.
HCs:

FF omni vol 1 reprint = 1-30, Annual 1
TPBs:
FF Epic is vol 3, covers 33-51 and Annual 3
Heroes Reborn is the entire run (1-12) as expected
World's Greatest entry is a dupe of Hickman's, but one would expect the entire 12 issue run there, like the OHC
The Human Torch & The Thing: Strange Tales - The Complete Collection is BOTH MMWs in one large TPB (YES!) - Strange Tales 101-134 & Annual 2
The Thing & The Human Torch by Dan Slott - mashup of two books themed by characters and writer - SPIDERMAN/HUMAN TORCH 1-5, THE THING (2005) 1-8
Hickman complete collection v1 = DARK REIGN: FANTASTIC FOUR 1-5, FANTASTIC FOUR (1998) 570-578
Marvel Two-in-One Epic is volume 1 and is almost first two MMWs in one - MARVEL FEATURE (1971) #11-12, MARVEL TWO-IN-ONE (1974) #1-19 and MARVEL TEAM-UP (1972) #47
All good news, IMO

"Why the hell do you need an arrow that comes back to you after you shoot it, Clint?" - Kate
"Because... Boomerangs." - Clint.
Heroes Reborn was the Liefeld reboot stuff. You're thinking of Heroes Return. (Which is not great, even as a Claremont fan).
Cyclops was right
