Marvel Licensed Properties Omnibus Mapping | 14th Annual Tigereyes Most-Wanted Marvel Omnibus Poll

Once every year, thousands of Marvel collectors from around the world gather together online to watch Near Mint Condition and vote on their most-wanted omnibus titles. That time approaches – time for the Tigereyes Most Wanted Marvel Omnibus 14th Annual Secret Ballot! This post explains every Marvel Alternate Reality omnibus map of material that has not yet been collected comprehensively in omnibus.

As one of the organizers of the poll, I work closely with Tigereyes and a team of Mapping Minties to be sure Marvel’s entire publishing history has been mapped, with every issue fitting somewhere into an omnibus volume to fill your oversize Marvel shelf. Then, we’ll kick off the poll on Near Mint Condition on March 22, 2026.

With Marvel printing omnibus volumes like Godzilla, ROM, and Micronauts in the past year, it seems clear that all bets are off in terms of what past licenses they’re willing to pursue for reprint in omnibus form. Note that Indiana Jones & FOX Properties and Star Wars have their own posts.

This post addresses comics that Marvel originally published but does not own the full intellectual property rights to at this time. Could Marvel republish them? Anything is possible with enough demand from fans.

Read this post and others in the series for a list of titles and omnibus mappings created by a group of the biggest collected edition enthusiasts on the internet. Every map is informed by Crushing Krisis comic guides and over a decade of polling data as explained by yours truly – keeper of the most-definitive guides to Marvel’s collected editions on the planet.

Battlestar Galactica, The Original Marvel Years (1979 – 1981)

Marvel made comics of the original Battlestar Galactica – not the incredible mid-00s reboot!

This would collect Battlestar Galactica (1979) #1-23

Beavis & Butt-Head, The Original Marvel Years (1994 – 1996)

Heh heheh heh… they said “butt.”

This would collect Beavis and Butt-Head (1994) #1-28 and MTV’s Beavis & Butt-Head (1996) Wizard One-Shot AKA Ashcan, and material from collections Beavis and Butt-Head’s Greatest Hits (1994), Beavis & Butt-Head: Trash Can Edition (1994), Beavis and Butt-Head: Wanted (1995), and Beavis and Butt-Head: Holidazed and Confused (1995 or 1997?)

Big Hero 6: The Complete Edition (1998 – 2019) [also collects non-Marvel material]

Here’s my now-perennial explanation of how the rights to Big Hero 6 work.

Together, writers Joe Kelly, Joe Casey, Duncan Rouleau, & Steven Seagle form the studio “Man of Action Entertainment.”

Seagle & Rouleau originally created Big Hero 6 together with the intent of them appearing in Seagle’s Alpha Flight (1997), but they wound up being released in their own mini-series Sunfire & Big Hero 6 (1998) #1-3.

Despite Big Hero 6 appearing with an X-Men character, Seagle & Rouleau retained the rights to the team – which they would later spin off into film and TV adaptions by Disney. Subsequently, Disney licensed comics of those adaptations, not all of which were made by Marvel, but the ultimate rights to which still reside with Man of Action Entertainment.

So, what would this collect? If I understand this correctly, technically all Big Hero 6 comics should be fair game if Man of Action Entertainment agreed to let Disney continue their license and depending on the individual licenses of each comic.

While I was relatively sure of the above at a point in the past, I didn’t source my work (a big no-no) and now I see no evidence that the characters are owned by Man of Action. If anything, conversations from the creators around the film’s release seem to indicate this is specifically NOT the case.

This would collect Sunfire & Big Hero 6 (1998) #1-3, Big Hero 6 (2008) #1-5 from Marvel, Big Hero 6 (2015) Vol. 1-2 by Yen Press, Disney Big Hero 6: Heroes of San Fransokyo (2017) OGN by Joe Books, Big Hero 6: The Series (2019) #1-3 by IDW.

Bill & Ted’s Excellent Marvel Years (1991 – 1992)

This would collect Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey: A Most Excellent Movie Adaptation (1991) #1 and Bill & Ted’s Excellent Comic Book (1991) #1-12

Destroyer by Remo Williams (1989 – 1992) [collects the complete Magazine]

This would collect The Destroyer Magazine (1989-1990) #1-9, The Destroyer (1991) #1, The Destroyer (1992) #1-4

Doctor Who: The Marvel Years (1979 & on) [1984 series, maybe also UK comic strips]

This would begin to collect Doctor Who (1984) #1-23, but possibly also comics excerpted from Doctor Who Weekly (1979) #1-43, Doctor Who Monthly (1980) #44-84, Doctor Who Magazine (1984) #85-285, and Doctor Who Yearbooks

Human Fly (1977 – 1979)

This is not an adaptation of the famous Jeff Goldblum film! Instead, it’s Bill Mantlo creating a character based on real-world stuntman Rick Rojatt. This exists in a similar zone as Godzilla, with Dynamite currently printing a Human Fly comic but not printing Marvel’s classic issues because Marvel superheroes turn up in almost every issue.

This would collect The Human Fly (1977) #1-19

James Bond Jr. (1981 – 1993) [also includes James Bond: For Your Eyes Only]

This book would collect James Bond Jr. (1992) #1-12, material from James Bond Jr. (1993) #1-2 UK magazine, and James Bond: For Your Eyes Only (1981) #1-2, and Marvel Super Special (1983) #26 [the comic adapted of Octopussy]

Wild Cards (1990) #1-4

Marvel’s Thomas Nelson Christian Classics (1984 – 1994) [Christ stories, Illuminator, Pilgrim’s Progress, In His Steps, Screwtape Letters]

Someone on the Near Mint Condition joked about religious superhero The Illuminator as a Marvel 1990s rarity and I tumbled deep, deep, deep down the rabbit hole of Thomas Nelson’s decade-spanning line of faith-based comics for his own Marvel imprint.

This would collect The Easter Story (1984) #1, Illuminator (1993) #1-3, The Life of Christ (1993) #1, The Life of Christ: The Easter Story (1993) #1, Pilgrim’s Progress (1992) OGN, In His Steps (1994) OGN, The Screwtape Letters (1994) OGN

Max Ride by James Patterson: The Adaptions (2015 – 2017)

This would collect Max Ride First Flight (2015) #1-5, Max Ride Ultimate Flight (2016) #1-5, Color Your Own James Patterson (2016) #1, Max Ride Final Flight (2016-2017) #1-5

Razorline by Clive Barker (1993 – 1994) [Ectokid, Hokum & Hex, Hyperkind, Saint Sinner]

This would collect Ectokid (1993) #1-9, Hokum & Hex (1993) #1-9, Hyperkind (1993) #1-9, Saint Sinner (1993) #1-7, Razorline First Cut (1993) #1 Ectokid Unleashed (1994) #1

Ren & Stimpy Show: The Original Marvel Years (1992 – 1996)

This would collect Marvel’s comics adapting this pair of rude mid-90s cartoon characters, which includes the first comics work of Dan Slott!

This would collect The Ren & Stimpy Show (1992) #1-44 & Mini-Comic as well as material from The Ren & Stimpy Show Eenteracteeve Special (1995), The Ren & Stimpy Show Halloween Special Edition (1993), The Ren & Stimpy Show Holiday Special (1995), The Ren & Stimpy Show Special (1994), The Ren & Stimpy Show Special: Four Swerks (1995), The Ren & Stimpy Show Special: Powdered Toast Man (1994), The Ren & Stimpy Show Special: Powdered Toastman’s Cereal Serial (1995), The Ren & Stimpy Show Special: Sports (1995), The Ren & Stimpy Show: Around the World in a Daze (1996), and The Ren & Stimpy Show: Radio Daze (1995).

Robocop: The Marvel Years (1990 – 1992)

I’ve seen some folks assume this is a FOX property since they released some of Robocop’s home media, but the current owner of the franchise rights is Amazon MGM Studios.

This would collect Robocop (1990) #1-23; Robocop (1990) #1: The Movie Adaptation; Robocop 2 (1990) #1-3

Shadowline by Epic Comics (1988 – 1990) [Doctor Zero, Powerline, St. George, Critical Mass]

It’s unclear to me if this is technically an imprint or a licensed property, since it was all created by Archie Goodwin.

This would collect Doctor Zero (1988) #1-8, Powerline (1988) #1-8, St. George (1988) #1-8, and A Shadowline Saga: Critical Mass (1990) #1-7

Shogun Warriors, The Original Marvel Years (1979 – 1980)

This series was based on a line of Mattel toys.

This would collect Shogun Warriors (1979 #1-20

Spider-Man and Zoids (1986 – 1987)

This would collect material from Spider-Man and Zoids (1986-1987) #1-51, and pages from the incomplete Zoids Monthly #1

Tales of America: Team America, US-1, & NFL Superpro (1982 – 1992)

This combines the all-American motorcycle stunt team Team America (1982) #1-12, the big truck comic U.S. 1 (1983) #1-12, and football-playing superhero NFL Superpro (1991) #1-12.

Tarzan: The Original Marvel Years (1977 – 1979)

I’m not 100% clear on the intellectual property rights on Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Tarzan, which seem to differ between printed work and film. To the best of my knowledge, Disney only held to animated film rights and accompanying licensing. Since this comic predates the Disney film by over two decades, the likeness and rights have no relation to the Disney material.

The potential to reprint this series is prized by classic Marvel fans in large part due to art from John & Sal Buscema.

This would collect Tarzan (1977) #1-29 & Annual 1-3

WCW: World Championship Wrestling: The Marvel Years (1992 – 1993)

This would collect WCW World Championship Wrestling (1992) #1-12
