Wolverine Epic Collection: Back to Basics for me. I would have prefered a Wolverine Omnibus Vol.2 but who knows maybe one day.
I would have preferred an Omnibus collection for Heroes Return Fantastic Four, if only because all the others from that launch have gotten an Omnibus, but I'm glad they're at least collecting it. It's never been collected in any form as far as I know.
Now, the reason it's never been collected is it's the weakest of the five Heroes Return titles - Scott Lobdell and Alan Davis walked off after three issues and Chris Claremont's run was very, very late '90s Claremont (nice art by Larrocca, though, much better than when he started doing his own inks). But I still enjoy it because I'm such a sucker for that late '90s nostalgia-soaked Marvel style, and even Claremont's compulsive overuse of thought balloons seems kind of cute.
Excited to see Sgt Fury EPics! Maybe this means either (A) we'll get past issues of MMW vol 4 remastered in EPIC format, OR (B) they are gauging interest in this book to see if they continue with the MMWs.
Either way, I welcome this. Loved this series, such a great WWII book; now if DC can get Sgt Rock Omnibus out there someday, that'd be great, too.
"Boomerang arrow, Kate... It comes back to you in the end. Boomerang. Respect it." - Clint
"Why the hell do you need an arrow that comes back to you after you shoot it, Clint?" - Kate
"Because... Boomerangs." - Clint.
From the new bunch of omnis I plan on getting the Earth X books and Conan when I find them for cheap.
We need better comics
I actually think this is promising for Wolverine Omnibus vol.2!
I wouldn't be shocked to see Excalibur vol.1, Wolverine Vol.2 and Death of Wolverine Omnibus in the next year or two, given the multiple Epic /Complete Collections we're seeing. Maybe Gambit by Nicieza and Skroce too if the movie ever comes out.
A lot of people will upgrade to Omnibus, but are not likely to buy TPBs if already own an OHC format. It makes sense to release as big TPBs initially, then follow with an Omnibus.
Let's hope you're right, it's been so long since the release of the first Wolverine Omnibus I almost lost hope lol. Although I'm not sure if Marvel will release a volume 3 or just do a Wolverine by Larry Hama Omnibus Vol.1.
I agree, I wouldn't be surprised to see 2 or 3 omnibi collecting the whole Death and Return of Wolverine saga or an Old Man Logan Omnibus in the next few years. Excalibur vol.1 and New Mutants Vol.1 are also some of my most wanted Omnibus

With its recent win for Best Limited Series at the Eisners, do you think a fancier edition of Black Panther: World of Wakanda will be released in the future, or nah?
