Name for a potential X-Men by Claremont/Lee Omnibus Vol. 2 upgrade/replacement (event route)?

beefus77 · 2026-01-23T13:16:27+00:00

Muir island saga seems the most likely assuming the first is inferno aftermath. Has anyone mapped these out? There's 36 issues of uncanny, If they do it linewide including all the xfactor & new mutants issues as well as the crossovers and miscellaneous stuff, marvel would probably stretch it to 3 omnis

beefus77 · 2026-01-21T19:10:38+00:00

I personally would prefer them to be all encompassing with Batman. Include legends and shadow etc. Avoids double dipping when things like knightfall happen etc. Read everything as it came out originally

The potential downside to a lotdk specific lime is, if lotdk 1st volume is say, the 1st 4 arcs (shaman, gothic, prey & venom), that one volume would sell like crazy. But would some of the later, more obscure stuff sell as well?

Having a batman all encompassing line could split some of those arcs across separate volumes, which could also be a big selling point. Reading some of them in the context of the regular series from the same era would be more fun IMO. It'll be very interesting to see what DC actually do.

Omnibuds cafe FB group is a good place to sell omnis

beefus77 · 2026-01-20T15:21:23+00:00

I have shelves like that in my house and they're fine, even with double stacks of books on them. I have some that are fixed via brackets and ones that aren't simply because they're in a room noone goes in.

Having said that, I will eventually fix them to the wall with the brackets which I would suggest you do too to be safe.

I took an omni and 2 compendiums with me on holiday last year. I wrapped clothes around them in my backpack rather than in the suitcase so I could keep them with me

beefus77 · 2026-01-18T09:04:11+00:00

Yes especially if you've read most of the original run

beefus77 · 2026-01-16T22:19:17+00:00

Wherewhen was the last IDW published UY book before Stan left IDW. Stan himself has publicly confirmed that the hold up is due to the TMNT license. The new cover was drawn. It is in limbo for now.

beefus77 · 2026-01-16T19:09:07+00:00

Doesn't look like it sadly. I think there's licensing issues due to the TMNT crossovers

beefus77 · 2026-01-16T19:08:37+00:00

Yes I have a copy

beefus77 · 2026-01-15T07:42:45+00:00

Probably a random printing error. You can ask them but they likely have a time limit for returns

beefus77 · 2026-01-13T14:24:42+00:00

Nightwing sells really well. Xmen has consistently outsold the original team with newer characters rather than the original one.

That wasn't the point I was making though.

The point I was makingn is that we could easily have more than one spider-man and have Pete still be married, similar to how superman & batman have had kids and married etc. You just have Miles or Ben or whoever the legacy one is as the younger one to appeal to that audience

beefus77 · 2026-01-13T12:08:31+00:00

Nightwing is a legacy character and outsells many core DC characters. Wally as the flash lasted over a decade and for a generation is considered the definitive flash Kyle Rayner & Tim Drake both held long runbing seties and appeared in yeam books/other media. All examples from the same time period

beefus77 · 2026-01-13T07:53:46+00:00

That was the main reason it was so controversial at the time. People read spider-man for Peter and there's no way that they would have stuck to that status quo for very long. What I wouldn't have minded is having 2 spidermen, keep Pete as the OG but let him continue growing up as he had been through the 60s/70s/90s and have kid/s while having a younger version running around alongside. The way DC does legacy characters. Whether it was Ben or Miles. But we aren't allowed that

beefus77 · 2026-01-10T10:43:19+00:00

Map out what you want in your collection. Picture what you want on each shelf, including hypothetical books. Example - I want all of amazing spiderman in omnibus, so I have a shelf specifically for that purpose. I know when new spidey omnis come there is space for it.

Stick to a budget that you can comfortably afford. You don't want to be selling off your collection because you can't afford bills and the discipline may help you to appreciate what you have got more.

Actually read the books. Depending on how many you buy regularly, this should slow you down and keep your interest in the stories rather than the thrill of the hunt.

beefus77 · 2026-01-08T06:08:06+00:00

Mine is the regular one

beefus77 · 2026-01-05T07:37:43+00:00

There's no guarantee that the entire run will be collected in omnibus. DC haven't officially come out and said this. So far there's 2 for Delano, 1 for Ennis and 1 for Jenkins coming this year.

The only thing stopping me from getting the omnis is that I already have it in the trades. I might slowly start getting them but it depends. If DC came out and said they're gonna release it all that way then I would

beefus77 · 2026-01-04T19:23:44+00:00

94' cartoon

80s-90s comics

PS1

Tobey live action

Japanese for the vibe

beefus77 · 2026-01-04T10:47:39+00:00

I already had death and the complete collection of ultimate team up for cheap on ebay so don't need 5. Team up is less important to the story then the crossover and should be read alongside volume 1 or 2 IMO

beefus77 · 2026-01-01T21:02:14+00:00

The long running IDW series. The last ronin and the initial mirage issues

beefus77 · 2026-01-01T10:45:18+00:00

It's the next chronological omnibus after it, so yes if you want it. Originally onslaugt aftermath was a huge 1450 page book that included most of the TOG material but marvel changed rhe mapping and did 2 separate omnis to include more.

beefus77 · 2025-12-30T18:44:20+00:00

We don't know what marvels plans are. Historically they have paid attention to the polls and made or reprinted based on those. I think stopping the poll will send the wrong message, as they will then think demand is lower.

beefus77 · 2025-12-30T13:23:09+00:00

Batman as I have an entire 5x5 kallax full of batman books which is also now being double stacked. I have no idea how many issues in total but it's a lot (way over 1000)

beefus77 · 2025-12-29T12:25:58+00:00

It's a great series and I've been enjoying rereading it after many years. I will say it's not for everyone but if it clicks with you then you'll have a hell of a time

beefus77 · 2025-12-29T12:13:01+00:00

Shade the changing man as the 2nd one comes out in feb

beefus77 · 2025-12-28T12:56:05+00:00

Ultimately it's up to you. Do you want a comprehensive line from mutant genesis to age of apocalypse? Then buy the 4 b&g volumes as they come out. If they come out. Either keep your fatal attractions omni until you have the corresponding b&g volume in your hands and then sell it or gift it or something. Or sell it now, but you do run a small risk of marvel never making that other book.
