3 covers for JMS Spider-man vol.2?
Is that a first, 3 covers?
Also is the Quesada one an actual cover? I seem to recall that one.
Power Pack vol.1: odds that fans get a vol.2? I mean lots of dangling volume 1s out there. A guess the plus is Bendis didn't do it so a vol2 could happen.

Does Marvel ever reprint OHCs? I was hoping they would reprint stuff like the Days of Future Past, Messiah Complex hardcovers, but I guess I'm wasting my time.
Just ordered the new Parable HC.
So for me, Marvel hasn't had any collected material in weeks(which would be great if Marvel was my only interest) and now next week BAM 3 Omni's I'd like.
Marvel Horror
Spider-man by Byrne
Timely Submariner
Cha-Ching, Cha-Ching!!!

Just the Spidey Byrne Omni for me. The Marvel.Horror Omni is a little too pricey and a bit of a mish mash for me to want it. I'm not even a minor fan of Namor and Golden Age is not always my thing. I have the 1st printing of the Golden Age Marvel Omni which I picked up for under $30 way back and that's a nice Omni to have for historical reference.
What’s your opinion of the contents in the Spidey by Byrne Omni? I remember loving his Marvel Team up stuff. And the rest of the 80s material in there. But I’ve never read his Chapter One and Amazing Spider-Man from the late 90s. I’m on the fence.
I remember reading it in floppies. I was so excited for it as his Superman stories were amongst the first comics I read. But I thought the run was awful, particularly Chapter One. From what I remember, it was poorly received at the time as well. I tried to sell it on Ebay a few years ago when I was downsizing my collection. Put it up for 99p three times and never got a single bid!
The 90s material was not well received. The art is top notch, but the writing much less so.
Chapter One was a retelling of the original Lee/Ditko stories, with added retcons and unnecessary updated details. The Amazing Spider-Man run by Mackie/Byrne regressed characters in clumsy ways. Sandman went from reformed criminal to actual criminal, Flash was turned into a bully again through brain damage, and Peter was hiding his Spider-Man activities from Mary Jane. There's a reason the Staczynshi run was such a breath of fresh air.
Good to know. I'm unfamiliar with that time period and have been buying the Byrne collections. I'll give this one a pass.
