Do X-Men Classic Vol 1 and 2 contain anything less than X-Men Classic Omnibus?
Hi guys, been away for quite a while! I have a question, does anyone know if the 2016 Miles Morales' Spider-Man run will ever be collected in HC (other than the OOP omnibus)?
None of you seem to understand, I'm not locked in here with you, you're locked in here with me..
Surprisingly, Straczynski vol.1 Omni is not chunky at all. I was kinda shocked how thin vol.1 is. Might be the case with different type of paper (which equals thiner pages) which Marvel now supports.
The complete estimated comic book sales figures for April 2019 are in (please note this list only details those comics sold to North American Comics Shops as reported by Diamond). I’ve listed below the Marvel OHC/Omnibus/MMW’s as well as the larger TPB collections such as the Epic and Complete lines that made the list, detailing the position, title and estimated sales. I haven’t included any reentries.
32. The Infinity War Omnibus - 1,302
47. Marvel Masterworks: Avengers Vol. 19 HC - 1,105
48. Decades: Marvel in the 70s - Legion of Monsters TPB - 1,093
57. Avengers Epic Collection Vol. 23: Fear the Reaper - 990
59. Iron Man Epic Collection Vol. 3: The Man Who Killed Tony Stark - 949
71. Spider-Man 2099 vs. Venom 2099 TPB - 861
73. Star Wars Legends Epic Collection Empire Vol. 5 - 848
74. Conan Chronicles Epic Collection Vol. 2: The Heart of Yag-Kosha - 844
78. Doctor Strange by Donny Cates OHC - 814
97. Infinity by Starlin & Hickman Omnibus - 701
98. Avenging Spider-Man: The Complete Collection - 693
131. Spider-Man: Light in the Darkness TPB - 512
138. X-Men by Milligan Vol. 1: Dangerous Liaisons TPB - 494
144. The Despicable Deadpool OHC - 485
148. Marvel Masterworks: Daredevil Vol. 13 HC (Regular Cover) – 475
152. Avengers World: The Complete Collection - 456
157. Thor By Kieron Gillen: The Complete Collection - 448
176. Iron Man: Heroes Return - The Complete Collection Vol. 1 - 414
209. Mighty Avengers by Dan Slott: The Complete Collection - 346
398. Avengers: Earth Mightiest Box Set Slipcase - 174
For comparison, DC's April 2019 Omnibus figures:
68. The Death & Return of Superman Omnibus (3rd Edition) - 899
105. World’s Finest: Batman & Superman – The Silver Age Omnibus Vol. 2 - 652
As I predicted last month, Marvel Masterworks: Daredevil Vol. 13 HC charted again but this time with the Regular Silver Cover. Last month only the Variant Cover made it to retail. This gives an overall total of 1008 of the MMW which is the norm.

"Freedom is the right of all sentient beings" - Optimus Prime
I feel your pain, my brother. I went through this with the IG omnibus as well, but we seem to be in the minority for reasons quoted as "it makes for a bad reading experience" and "things happen between panels, it doesn't work," when in reality, fellas like you and I would prefer marvel do their best with it.
After all, there are trades and other collections of these same stories with the straightforward/optimal reading experience. This is an OMNIBUS. The vast majority of ppl buying these are hardcore fans of comics who look up reading orders and actually, well, IDK, LOVE the tie-ins and other stories. I want the full experience, I've already read these stories in their stripped-down forms.
An Omnibus should definitely have everything in reading order.
The only exception I can think of is the Shadowland Omni, where I'm personally glad the DD issues and main Shadowland mini are grouped together in reading order, with all of the other tie-in issues placed together after. I prefer the flow of reading the Diggle-scripted stories on their own, independent of the ancillary stuff.
Anyone going to take advantage of the coming Marvel liquidation sale? I see CGN already has them posted at 50% off - is this as cheap as they'll be?
I'm considering X-Men Classic omni cause I doubt it'll get any cheaper, though there are TPBs now. Maybe the New X-Men or Age of Apocalypse omnis but I've never read any of it and really only want to complete my X-Men collection with the Claremont era.
What are some thoughts on these or others you're considering?
Where did you hear of an upcoming Marvel liquidation?
* Nevermind...I see it's a CGN sale. Thanks!

I recently purchased the X-Men Classic Omnibus. It started off pretty strong, but as soon as Claremont stops writing the back-up stories, it gets pretty bad. Bad enough that I could not even finish reading the remaining few issues.
I will say the format and extra contents are pretty nice though! Lots of Mignola covers in the back.
I say go for it with New X-Men & AOA. Both are awesome reads! Both are on their second printing, so once these go OOP, I doubt we will see them again in this format.
