I am fresh from co-hosting my first ever Marvel solicits announcement show on Near Mint Condition with the Uncanny Omar and Kurtis from the Epic Marvel Podcast! We joined forces to reveal eight new thick trades recollecting existing material, plus we recapped the staggering 40 Marvel omnibuses that Omar has announced from August through December of 2023.
Altogether, that made for three solid hours of collected editions content, during which we had a lot of interesting conversations about these runs and how they’re collected. But, in case you don’t have three hours, now I can reveal what we talked about!
(I’ll warn you that if you start watching from the beginning you’ll see 10 minutes of technical difficulties that included my blind panic when I realized I was the only host connected to the live stream while I wasn’t wearing my glasses and was connected to the wrong wifi network in my house.)
First, let’s look at the even newly-announced thick trade paperbacks and one new gallery edition. Our show was the first time these books have been announced anywhere on the internet! Then, I’ll recap all 40 of the Marvel Omnibus announcements we dissected at length.
Marvel Collected Edition Announcements
As a reminder, all of these books are newly announced and none of them past the October omnibuses have yet been solicited by Marvel to the direct market, so they don’t appear yet even in the most-updated Crushing Comics Marvel guides.
