A List of Every 2024 Marvel Omnibus! (and January 2025, too)

This is a list of EVERY 2024 Marvel Omnibus (and January 2025, too!) complete with ISBNs, explanations of what’s in the book, and links to the comic guides and reading orders that contain their full contents. That’s 126(!) books.

This past Sunday I was overjoyed to get to spend the afternoon with my dear friend Omar on Near Mint Condition (as well as a live chat full of Minties) as we recapped the 42 new and reprinted Marvel omnibuses solicited for August through the end of this year (plus January 2025).

I was going to simply recap those books to you again here in text. Then I thought… maybe we should do MORE. What use is an omnibus list that randomly starts in August? And what use is the same list of books you could get on a Wikipedia page?

So, instead, here is a list of every 2024 Marvel Omnibus (and January 2025, too!) with links to the Crushing Comics guides that contain their full contents (and how to collect the material around them) as well as my thoughts on the significance of most of the books.

Note that all release dates are tentative right up until they arrive! We’ve seen some books be delayed by a week or two in recent years, or even as much as six months in the cases of some of the early-2024 books that were originally solicited for 2023.

Are you ready to feel your wallets and bank accounts ache as we look at this massive list of every 2024 Marvel Omnibus? Let’s go!

Note that dates are subject to change for a variety of reasons – including paper shortages, shipping delays, and just the vagaries of Marvel’s book publishing schedule. We’ve seen some books be delayed as much as six months from an original 2023 release date to wind up on this list. However, Marvel very rarely outright cancels an omnibus once it is announced – I can’t even recall the last time it happened!

January 2024 Marvel Omnibus

REPRINT: Daredevil by Mark Waid & Chris Samnee Omnibus, Vol. 2
(2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302952808 / digital)
See Guide to Daredevil. Collects the final two arcs of Waid & Samnee’s 2011 series and all of the 2014 back half of this run. I’d start at the start on this one. Picking up shortly before the transition to the second series just doesn’t make sense, and there’s a lot of major character beats in the first omnibus.

Devil’s Reign Omnibus (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302952921 / digital)
See Guide to Marvel Universe Events or Guide to Daredevil. This is an all-in-one volume of this entire Chip Zdarsky-driven event from the end of 2021, which was the act break in his Daredevil run with Marco Checchetto. It was pretty well coordinated, though I don’t know if I’d call the action outside of the main series a must-read. I think I’d recommend the pair of Zdarsky/Checchetto omnibuses over this event book (they also include the main event; just none of the tie-ins).

Iron Fist Iron Fist: Danny Rand – The Early Years (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302954857 / digital)
See Guide to Iron Fist. This is an outstanding book full of work from Claremont & Byrne in their early prime (plus all of Iron Fist’s Deadly Hands of Kung-Fu magazine stories!). If you enjoy the first half-decade of Uncanny X-Men, I’d go so far as to say at points this is even better.

Judgment Day Omnibus (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302952907 / digital)
See Guide to Marvel Universe Events. The absolutely complete collection of the Judgment Day event that emerged from Kieron Gillen’s spectacular Eternals series! This event and its tie-ins were 50% written by Kieron Gillen and it shows. It’s tightly coordinated and rewarding for all the major characters, and the flagships X-books all work in tight continuity. (Ben Percy’s books… not so much). For a full issue-to-issue reading order, check out the Marvel Events Guide – I carefully curated it myself during my own read a few months ago.

ROM: The Original Marvel Years Omnibus Vol. 1 (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302956714 / digital)
See Guide to ROM – Spaceknight. If you want the full story on ROM and why his series is not just a toy tie-in, check out my recent launch-post for my ROM Reading Order.

REPRINT: Spider-Man: The Clone Saga Omnibus, Vol. 1 (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302952952 / digital)
See Guide to Spider-Man – Peter Parker (1963-2018). It’s always worth noting that this collects the complete Clone Saga in a slightly different issue sequence than the old trades (and, probably different from the new Epics as well), but if you get all of the Omnis it will contain everything. This is a fine place to start if you’re interested in this story – there’s no collection of the material that directly precedes this volume and it starts cleanly.

Thor by Straczynski & Gillen Omnibus (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302953010 / digital)
See Guide to Thor – Odinson. An absolutely brilliant “Start Right Here” sort of Thor book that we’ve always needed! JMS sets up an outstanding story (is this is best comic run ever?) and Gillen knocks down the finish of it admirably.

X-Men: The Hidden Years (2023 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302950217 / digital)
See Guide to Uncanny X-Men – The Silver Age. This collets the complete 1999-2001 John Byrne series that fills in canonical adventures for the entire period where X-Men was a reprint title prior to the relaunch with Giant-Size X-Men. It’s non-essential to your X-Men read since it’s all retcon (and not often referenced), but Byrne does a good job of making it line up not only with the missing years of X-Men but also with other things happening in the Marvel Universe at that time.

February 2024 Marvel Omnibus

Black Panther Black Panther by Christopher Priest Vol. 2 (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302953683 / digital)
See Guide to Black Panther. The back half of Priest’s landmark 1998 run on the title, which gave us much of the basis of T’Challa’s past 25 years of continuity and the modern version of Wakanda. You absolutely should not start with the second volume on this one! In fact, even the first volume is pretty intimidating. I think if you’ve never read Priest before that this is worth checking out digitally before you commit to a massive tome on your shelf.

Marvel: February 1964 Omnibus (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302954871 / digital)
Another of Marvel’s “everything we published that month” omnibuses. This collection pulls from the month of Daredevil’s first issue. It collects Daredevil (1964) #1, Amazing Spider-Man (1963) #12, Fantastic Four (1961) #26, Journey Into Mystery (1952) #103, Kid Colt Outlaw (1948) #116, Millie The Model (1945) #120, Modeling With Millie (1963) #30, Patsy Walker (1945) #114, Strange Tales (1951) #120, Tales of Suspense (1959) #53, Tales to Astonish (1959) #55, Two-Gun Kid (1948) #69, Avengers (1963) #5, Patsy and Hedy (1952) #94, Rawhide Kid (1955) #40, Sgt. Fury (1963) #7, and [Uncanny] X-Men (1963) #5.

The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe – Master Edition Omnibus Vol. 1
(2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302951771 / digital)
This covers entries A-L in the 1991-1993 handbook line.

REPRINT: Spider-Man: Ben Reilly Omnibus, Vol. 2 (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302955823 /digital)
See Guide to Spider-Man – Peter Parker (1963-2018). This concludes the Ben Reilly saga, which is as far as we’ve reached in oversize hardcover in the original 1963 volume of Amazing Spider-Man. After this, there’s a brief gap until the John Byrne omnibus picks up his 1999 series on the other side.

Thunderbolts Red (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302953058 / digital)
See Guide to Thunderbolts. This is a complete omnibus of the Marvel Now Thunderbolts run that was led by Red Hulk and starred a very violent team of Punisher, Elektra, Deadpool, Agent Venom, and more! This doesn’t line up very well with the classic Thunderbolts team or the impending movie team, but if you want to see a bunch of “Murder Characters doing murders” then you’ll dig this run!

REPRINT: Ultimate Comics Spider-Man: Death of Spider-Man
(2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302957551 / digital)
See Guide to Marvel Ultimate Comics.

Ultimate X-Men Omnibus, Vol. 2 (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302950118 / digital)
See Guide to Marvel Ultimate Comics. We’ll need one more volume after this to complete the coverage of this series.

March 2024 Marvel Omnibus

REPRINT: Captain America [Classic] Vol. 4 AKA Captain America by Jack Kirby
(2024 “Vol. 4” oversize hardcover / digital)
See Guide to Captain America. This might be a first for Marvel – picking up an older omnibus verbatim and simply retitling it to fit into an existing omni line. This has the exact contents as the previous “Captain America by Jack Kirby” omnibus, so if you have that already don’t buy it again here!

REPRINT: Daredevil by Brubaker & Lark Omnibus, Vol. 2
(2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302957575 / digital)
See Guide to Daredevil. Finally reprints the back half of Brubaker’s run, which fits between Bendis’s run and Shadowland. Things get really grim in here!

Moon Knight: Marc Spector Omnibus, Vol. 2 (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302956899 / digital)
See Guide to Moon Knight. I have to check my notes, but I think this volume gives us complete Omnibus coverage of Moon Knight from his debut through 2011 (and there’s an OHC of his 2011 Bendis series!). Despite being a pretty niche title, this had some collector heat at the time because the end of the Marc Spector ongoing had Stephen Platt on artwork. This also collects the 1998 and 1999 mini-series – nice work, Marvel!

Predator: The Original Years, Vol. 2 (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302928988 / digital)
I don’t have a Guide to Predator just yet, but if Marvel keeps publishing new Predator comics they’ll force my hand! This reprints Dark Horse material from 1997-2020, including Predator: Hell & Hot Water (1997) #1-3, Predator: Primal (1997) #1-2, Predator: Nemesis (1997) #1-2, Predator: Captive (1998) #1, Predator: Homeworld (1999) #1-4, Predator: Xenogenesis (1999) #1-4, Predator (2009) #1-4, Predators (2010) #1-4, Predators: Beating the Bullet (2010) #1, Predators: Preserve the Game (2010) #1, Predator: Hunters (2017) #1-5, Predator: Hunters II (2018) #1-4, Predator: Hunters III (2020) #1-4; and material from Dark Horse Presents (1986) #124; and Free Comic Book Day 2009

REPRINT: Spider-Man: The Clone Saga Omnibus, Vol. 2 (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302955847 / digital)
See Guide to Spider-Man – Peter Parker (1963-2018). This wraps up all of the Clone Saga crossovers and tie-ins, and continues to the pair of Ben Reilly omnibuses.

Ultimate Marvel by Jonathan Hickman (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302956936 / digital)
See Guide to Marvel Ultimate Comics. Fans have demanded this book for a long time! I think it is Hickman’s only pre-2019 Marvel material to not be collected in oversize format! This includes his Thor and Hawkeye mini-series, as well as his year-long run on Ultimates – all of which gets referenced at the end of his run on Avengers.

X-Factor by Peter David, Volume 3 (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302953300 / digital)
See Guide to X-Factor. This is the second omnibus of Peter David’s 2005 X-Factor run, though it is confusingly labeled as “Volume 3” because they called a brief collection of his original run on X-Factor in 1991 “Volume 1.” After a strong first 40 issues, this material is slightly breezier but still very enjoyable before a slightly rockier final thirty-ish issues (plus his follow-up in All-New X-Factor, which based on the mapping will absolutely fit into a Volume 4)

April 2024 Marvel Omnibus

REPRINT: Captain America [Classic] Vol. 1 (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302957995)
See Guide to Captain America. This picks up Cap from the start of his Silver Age run in Tales of Suspense, matching the contents of his Masterworks (so this does not include Avengers (1963) #4, which is in the Epic Line and not the Masterworks.

Daredevil [Classic] Omnibus, Vol. 3 (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302955182 / digital)
See Guide to Daredevil. This volume is significant for collecting all of the Daredevil/Black Widow material (as well as her run in Amazing Adventures (1970) #1-8), which means it is the rare Silver/Bronze Age Marvel omnibus to collect four Marvel Masterworks full of material! This is a book you can pick up and appreciate all on it’s own. In fact… I recommend it. This is where Daredevil truly starts to get great, unless you enjoy mid-60s camp stuff (and, even for that, Daredevil is slow).

REPRINT: Ghost Rider by Jason Aaron (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302957599 / digital)
See Guide to Ghost Rider. This is a weird half-a-series omnibus that picks up after Daniel Way was on the book. At just 21 issues, I thought perhaps they’d recollect the Way and Aaron runs together.

Micronauts: The Original Marvel Years, Vol. 1 (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302956769 / digital)
Sorry, y’all – no guide to Micronauts just yet! This is the first of three scheduled omnibuses, which will collect The Micronauts (1979) #1-29 & Annual 1-2 and material from Micronauts Special Edition (1983) #1-5.

Spider-Man 2099 Omnibus, Vol. 2 (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302953836 / digital)
See Guide to Spider-Man 2099. This book having “Volume 2” in its name makes sense but is also slightly misleading. While the first omnibus collects the complete original 90s Spider-Man 2099 series, this book collects some supporting anthology material from that period, a brief appearance in Captain Marvel (1999) #27-30, and then the character’s return in Marvel Now from 2013-2017 – all still written by Peter David. That means you absolutely can read this book on its own – in fact, it’s pretty satisfying, because those Marvel Now series were great.

Star Wars by Gillen & Pak (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302955908 / digital)
See Guide to Star Wars Extended Universe comics. This collects the the back half of the original 2015 Star Wars relaunch comic from after Aaron left the series and Gillen took over after writing Darth Vader. This ends by butting up against The Empire Strikes Back, after which all of the Star Wars books begin anew in 2020.

REPRINT: Thor by Walter Simonson (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302957612)
See Guide to Thor – Odinson. Walt Simonson’s legendary all-in-one run on Thor with muddy modern colors. I sold mine and never looked back (Sorry, y’all – you’re rarely if ever going to see a positive reception on this site for recoloring that eliminates fantastical hues of purples, pinks, and blues in the shadows for a bunch of dull greys and browns.)

Wolverine Omnibus Vol. 5 (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302958060 / digital)
See Guide to Wolverine – Logan. This book picks up just as Wolverine loses his adamantium and tracks him during his period away from the X-Men and then his return in the lead-up to Onslaught, which begins two issues after this ends. This isn’t really all-time classic Wolverine material, which is in the first three omnibuses. But, if you have some specific early/mid-90s nostalgia for the character and love Adam Kubert’s artwork, this one is for you.

X-Men 2099 Omnibus (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302952068 / digital)
See Guide to Marvel 2099. This is a complete, one-and-done read – just keep in mind it has virtually nothing to do with present day X-Men of any era (save for one character who was briefly imported during Krakoa).

May 2024 Marvel Omnibus

Amazing Spider-Man by Nick Spencer, Vol. 2
(2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302953645 / digital)
See Guide to Spider-Man – Peter Parker (2018 – Present). This collects the back half of the Nick Spencer Amazing Spider-Man (2018) run along with all of its associated one-shots, which then continued to Amazing Spider-Man BEYOND. I don’t recommend this run – it was slow-moving and Spidey wasn’t ever very amusing (which was surprising, given how funny Spencer used to be as a writer!).

Captain America by Nick Spencer Omnibus Vol. 2 (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302953706 / digital)
See Guide to Captain America. Collects the back half of Nick Spencer’s twin runs on both Sam Wilson and (evil) Steve Rogers, as well as all of the main Secret Empire series (though none of its tie-ins). I can’t recommend this run. I don’t object to the plot device of changing something about Cap’s history to make him go bad, I just think it was poorly executed misery porn.

REPRINT: Daredevil by Frank Miller Omnibus Companion (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302957650 / digital)
See Guide to Daredevil. This collects Miller’s brief return to the title in Daredevil (1964) #219 & 226-233, which is not sequential to his original run, plus his Daredevil: The Man Without Fear (1993) mini-series and the Daredevil: Love and War OGN (but not his Elektra, which is in its own omnibus). Despite being called a “Companion,” you absolutely can read this on its own – in fact, some of this is considered the best Daredevil material of all time!

REPRINT: Hulk: World War Hulk Omnibus (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302957674 / digital)
See Guide to Marvel Universe Events or Guide to Hulk – Bruce Banner. If you want to see Hulk fight basically every Marvel hero, this is the story for you! I don’t love this event, which directly follows the (in my opinion) stronger Planet Hulk. This is a complete event omnibus, covering issues of Hulk’s title as well as the main event series and every tie-in.

Incredible Hulk By Byrne & Casey Omnibus (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302954062 / digital)
See Guide to Hulk – Bruce Banner. This was delayed from 2023. This is peculiar little gap-filler of an omnibus, catching the final few issues after Peter David departed Incredible Hulk (1968) as well as the first arc for Hulk (1999). I’m slightly surprised they didn’t cram in a brief Paul Jenkins run as well to more clearly market the next volume as “by Bruce Jones.”

Star Wars Legends: The Rebellion Vol. 2 (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302953935 / digital)
See Guide to Star Wars Legends (Old Expanded Universe). The second of three volumes covering the original, no-longer-canon comics from the period from A New Hope in 0 BBY through the end of Return of the Jedi in 4 ABY. This one is notable for containing the famous “Splinter of the Mind’s Eye” series (adapting the novel of the same name).

June 2024 Marvel Omnibus

Captain America by Mark Gruenwald Vol. 1 (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302956875)
See Guide to Captain America. FINALLY! Finally, this landmark run on Captain America is seeing oversize collection. This was as significant to Cap as Claremont is to X-Men and Peter David is to Hulk. We’re luckily to now have it completely assembled in Epic Collection, but it features some incredible artwork and I’m happy to see it in oversize format. This collects nearly three whole Epic Collections, which suggests this line could be done in three volumes rather than four.

REPRINT: The Fantastic Four Fantastic Four by Waid & Wieringo (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302957698)
See Guide to Fantastic Four. Perhaps the best modern jumping on point for Fantastic Four. Also, you can absolutely read this and just leap right to Hickman without stopping for Millar & Hitch in the middle.

New Warriors Classic Omnibus, Vol. 3 (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302953812)
See Guide to New Warriors. Finally, this iconic 90s team of found family superheroes sees the final third of its run collected! I’m holding out a hope we’ll now see this mosey into a line of 6-8 Epic Collections, as I’m not sure I need three oversize New Warriors books on my shelf – but, I do love this material. In fact… I think I own the whole run in floppies!

REPRINT: Punisher MAX by Garth Ennis, Vol. 1 (2024 overisize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302957711)
See Guide to Punisher.

ROM: The Original Marvel Years Omnibus Vol. 2 (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302956745)
See Guide to ROM – Spaceknight.

Spider-Man by Michelinie & Bagley, Vol. 1 (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302956912)
See Guide to Spider-Man – Peter Parker (1963-2018). This long-awaited, much-needed omnibus covers half of the oversize gap between the current Amazing Spider-Man omnibuses of issues #300-350 and where Clone Saga omnibuses pick up at issue #394. Lots of mid-90s Spidey/MJ goodness in this one.

Star Wars Legends: The New Republic Vol. 2 (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302951795)
See Guide to Star Wars Legends (Old Expanded Universe). These are no-longer-canon stories set after the end of the Original Trilogy. I’m impressed with how hefty this tome is – over 1300 pages! Marvel is splitting up this material slightly differently than they did in Epic Collection and they made some smart mapping decisions here. Together, Volumes 1-2 cover six epics, so a third volume will wrap up this period.

July 2024 Marvel Omnibus

REPRINT Amazing Spider-Man by J. Michael Straczynski, Vol. 2 (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302957759 / digital)
See Guide to Spider-Man – Peter Parker (1963-2018). A rather swift reprint of the back half of JMS’s run, which connects directly to Brand New Day Vol. 1 (also out this month!). This run is popular, but I am an avowed non-fan. I think you’re better off picking it up with Brand New Day.

Daredevil by Chip Zdarsky [& Marco Checchetto] Vol. 1 (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302956219)
See Guide to Daredevil. This collects the first thirty issues (and an annual) of this incredible run. It’s very readable on its own, but it will leave you hanging for the back half (which is scheduled below in January 2025).

REPRINT: Daredevil: Shadowland Omnibus (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302957780)
See Guide to Daredevil. This is an omnibus we never thought would exist because this event was so slept-on at the time by fans, and here we are with a reprint! This is the book that fits between the Brubaker run and the Waid run on Daredevil. It not only collects the complete Shadowland event, but also 12 issues of Daredevil by Andy Diggle leading up to it. I really enjoyed this event! I think it just pivoted too supernatural for fans of the very grounded Bendis/Brubaker period on the title. If you want to see Daredevil go supernatural (and a bit bad), this can be enjoyed on its own.

House of M House of M Companion (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302953768)
See Guide to Marvel Universe Events. This collects 10 years of Marvel revisiting the House of M pocket reality for a number of disconnected stories that will never again be referenced. (Can you detect how I feel about such things?) That said, if you dig Spider-Verse style alternate reality takes on characters you love, this one might be for you!

Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Vol. 1 (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302951757)
See Guide to Spider-Man – Peter Parker (1963-2018). This book is now officially my answer to “Where should I start reading/collecting modern Spider-Man?” In my opinion, this is the best modern Spider-Man jumping-on point. It gives you hundreds of issues to catch up on, and it starts you with a merry-go-round of excellent Spidey writers before Slott takes over entirely.

Star Wars Legends: Tales of the Jedi (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302953959)
See Guide to Star Wars Legends (Old Expanded Universe). This book covers basically every old canon story prior to the “Old Republic” period that begins in 3964 BBY.

X-Factor: The Original X-Men, Vol. 1
(2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302956974)
See Guide to X-Factor. This collects the outstanding first two years of X-Factor, wrapping up at the end of Fall of the Mutants. I worship this material, and not just due to nostalgia. I read it in the past few years with my daughter, and I really think Louise Simonson makes the original X-Men truly interesting for the first time. Based on the mapping, I suspect we need two more volumes to reach issue #70. Yes, it’s only 44 regular issues, but once you add in annuals, crossovers, and one very horny Beast OGN it would be a lot bigger than Marvel typically goes with its X-line books.

REPRINT: X-Force Uncanny X-Force by Rick Remender (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302957735)
See Guide to X-Force. This is truly one of my favorite one-and-done X-Men reads. You don’t need to know anything going in and you don’t need to follow it anywhere. My one gripe has always been that it omits the Fear Itself three-issue mini-series, which wasn’t by Remender but was the only outside appearance by this line-up!e first of what I think will be three mid-sized volumes collecting X-Factor #1-70, the full run of the reassembled original X-Men.

August 2024 Marvel Omnibus

REPRINT: Daredevil by Bendis & Maleev Omnibus, Vol. 2 (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302957636 / digital)
See Guide to Daredevil. This is a big year for Daredevil reprints! This is the back half of the Bendis run which leads directly into Brubaker’s run. It’s dark – everything really crashes down around Matt here, and Brubaker (and Diggle) subsequently take him even lower. I think you need to start at the start with this one.

REPRINT: Invincible Iron Man Omnibus Vol. 2 (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302958992)
See Guide to Iron Man – Tony Stark. Perhaps this is an act of Omnibus Blasphemy, but I think you’re just fine starting your Iron Man read with this volume (getting a much-needed reprint after fourteen years). Yeah, it misses out on his earlier stories, but this is where his character rapidly develops and makes the switch from Tales of Suspense to his own ongoing series in 1968 – and, it has 25 issues of that series!

Invincible Iron Man Omnibus Vol. 3 (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302955403)
See Guide to Iron Man – Tony Stark. Similarly, we’ve been waiting for this next volume for fourteen years since the original printing of Volume 2! This covers the standard three Masterworks volumes of material, which means we’re now just one more omnibus away from meeting up with the by Michelinie, Layton & Romita Jr. Omnibus on the other side. It only skips one side anthology issue appearance that’s collected in the Masterworks, so there’s a solid chance Marvel could leave its mapping untouched just like they did with the Captain America by Jack Kirby omnibus and simply retitle it to “Invincible Iron Man Vol. 5.”

Mystic Omnibus (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302958770)
Hmm… I don’t have a CrossGen comics guide, and honestly I barely know anything about it! Do y’all want a CrossGen Guide? This collects Mystic (2000) #1-43, Crossgen Chronicles (2000) #5, and material from Crossgen Chronicles (2000) #1

Ultimate Spider-Man Omnibus Vol. 4 (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302959555)
See Guide to Marvel Ultimate Comics. This wraps up the original Ultimate Spider-Man (2000) series in omnibus, as well as his entire 2009 series before it returned to legacy numbering with issue #150. You can simply continue to Ultimate Death of Spider-Man after this, but Omar has mentioned whispers of a Volume 5 that will be mapped differently.

X-Men: Mutant Massacre Prelude Omnibus (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302959739)
See Guide to Uncanny X-Men by Chris Claremont or Guide to X-Factor. This covers the material between the end of Omnibus Volume 4 and Mutant Massacre, but also picks up the pre-Mutant Massacre X-Factor material, plus a few other odds and ends. For a full breakdown of the contents of this book and whether you want this or Uncanny X-Men Volume 5, see my 2023 X-Men: Mutant Massacre Prelude Omnibus  stream with Near Mint Condition.

X-Treme X-Men Omnibus Vol. 2 (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302954031)
See Guide to X-Treme X-Men. To answer your questions before you ask: Yes, this includes Mekanix. Yes, that’s actually a part of this run. It shows where Kitty Pryde is prior to returning to a starring role with this team.

September 2024 Marvel Omnibus

REPRINT: Avengers by Busiek & Perez Vol. 2 (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302959012)
See Guide to Avengers (1996-2005). This volume has the entire Kang Dynasty storyline, which Marvel has been reprinting and recollecting aggressively the past few years thanks to his MCU appearances.

Dazzler Omnibus (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302959609)
See Guide to Dazzler. FINALLY! It’s here, it’s real, and it’s spectacular! We always thought all of Dazzler’s material would be too much for one book, but this contains all of the four Marvel Masterworks of everyone’s favorite mutant pop star (unless you prefer Lila Cheney).

Excalibur Omnibus Vol. 3 (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302953737)
See Guide to Excalibur. I am so excited for this book, because it bridges the gap from the end of Alan Davis’s run to the beginning of Warren Ellis’s run (including both Annuals) and then collects all of Ellis! That means we just need one more Excalibur omnibus (of Ben Raab’s material) and we’ll have the entire 125 issue series and all of it’s various mini-series and OGNs collected in four perfect volumes. Since both of those Epic Collections are already out, I bet we see that final volume by the end of 2026.

Ghost Rider: Danny Ketch Omnibus Vol. 1 (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302959753)
See Guide to Ghost Rider. One of the most hotly-anticipated (oof, a bad pun!) omnibuses not only of this year, but of the past several years, this finally gets us the gorgeous early issues of Ghost Rider with art from Javier Saltares and Mark Texeira in oversize format! If you have ever been interested in Ghost Rider, this is 100% the place to begin.

Micronauts: The Original Marvel Years Omnibus, Vol. 2 (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302956790)
Sorry, y’all – no guide to Micronauts just yet! This second of three volumes collects a slim single run of Micronauts (1979) #30-54.

REPRINT: Spider-Man by Michelinie & Larsen Omnibus (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN  978-1302959036)
See Guide to Spider-Man – Peter Parker (1963-2018). Despite picking some stray issues from this creative team before and after their main run, this is effectively a straight shot through Amazing Spider-Man #329-350. That means it follows the David Michelinie and Todd McFarlane Omnibus and comes before the Michelinie & Bagley Omnibus (above)

Spider-Man: The Complete Black Costume Saga (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302959920)
See Guide to Spider-Man – Peter Parker (1963-2018). I usually don’t go for collections of non-sequential material that jump around between different series, but if you want to read all of the key Symbiote Suit issues from when Spider-Man returned from the original Secret Wars, this is the book for you!

Thor by Cates & Klein Omnibus (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302958541)
See Guide to Thor – Odinson. Collects the outstanding complete Cates & Friends series, which told big stories about Thor that seriously shook up his story and mythology in the wake of Aaron’s six-year epic. I really enjoy this book!

October 2024 Marvel Omnibus

Reprint: Captain America [Classic] Vol. 2 (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302958398)
See Guide to Captain America.

Ghost Rider 2099 Omnibus (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302959623)
See Guide to Marvel 2099. We’ve now talked about this so many times on Near Mint Condition that I actually sat down with the first few issues (because I own every 2099 comic book ever printed prior to 2016), and I had no idea this featured Chris Bachalo on interior art just months prior to his landmark run on Generation X (1994)!!! He’s only the launch artist, but the book definitely looks cool for that first handful of issues (followed by a few by his inker at the time, Mark Buckingham, and then Kyle Hotz). It’s absolutely going to sell omnibuses to some folks on the strength of that. And, well… they’ll discover what issue #25 looks like eventually.

PS: Ghost Rider is obviously going to turn up in Deadpool and Wolverine based on this omnibus schedule, right?

Godzilla: The Original Years Omnibus (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302958756)
Sorry folks, I don’t have a monster guide for the master of all movie monsters, Godzilla! I’m so excited for this book to finally collect this very fun run of Godzilla existing inside the Marvel Universe in color for the first time. Don’t want you want to see SHIELD and the Avengers wrangle Godzilla!? It contains Godzilla (1977) #1-24

Guardians of the Galaxy by Brian Bendis Omnibus, Vol. 2 (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN TBA)
See Guide to Guardians of the Galaxy. The skimpy 19-issue map for this book bugs me because there were so many Guardians solo series at the time that fit in pretty tight continuity with the final arc of this book. But, Marvel will never water down a Bendis book. It’s a complete run of the All-New All Different Marvel series, which starts with Kitty leading the team. The first two arcs are pretty interesting, but once this intersects with Civil War II it gets into marginal issues that are just playing for time until the finale.

Moon Knight by Jed MacKay (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302959487)
See Guide to Moon Knight. Getting an omnibus exactly a year after a run wraps up is pretty awesome stuff, but it’s not a huge surprise for this Jed MacKay run which was universally loved by fans and has amazing artwork. I’ll just give you one caveat – it’s a very quick read for a 30-issue run!

REPRINT: Uncanny X-Men Vol. 2 (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN TBA / digital)
See Guide to Uncanny X-Men by Chris Claremont. This volume containing the bulk of The Dark Phoenix Saga, the original Days of Future Past, and the debut of Rogue, comes as close as any Marvel omnibus to be being “evergreen.” This will be its fourth printing in ten years. Personally, I enjoy Volumes 3-4 much more, but if you’re looking for the book where X-Men caught fire, this is it.

X-Men: X-Tinction Agenda Omnibus (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302960117)
See Guide to Uncanny X-Men by Chris Claremont. We could rightfully call this the “X-Men by Claremont Companion” omnibus, because it takes care of so many odds and ends that were abandoned by the tight map of the Claremont/Lee omnibus volumes. It collects X-Tinction Agenda (Uncanny X-Men (1981) #270-272, New Mutants (1983) #95-97, X-Factor (1986) #60-62), Days of Future Present (Annual 14 and material from New Mutants (1983) Annual 6, X-Factor (1986) Annual 5, & Fantastic Four (1961) Annual 23), Kings of Pain (Annual 15 and material from New Mutants (1983) Annual 7, X-Factor (1986) Annual 6, and New Warriors (1990) Annual 1), X-Men: Spotlight on Starjammers (1990) #1-2, and X-Men stories from Marvel Comics Presents (1988) #10-17, 24-32, 41, 43, & 48-49, Marvel Super-Heroes (1990) #2 & 6-8, Marvel Holiday Special (1991) #1, and Marvel Tales (1964) #262.

November 2024 Marvel Omnibus

Captain Marvel by Kelly Thompson Omnibus Vol. 2 (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN TBA)
See Guide to Captain Marvel – Carol Danvers. This run was pure fun from front to back. It’s easily and officially the best Carol Danvers run of all time. Every time I thought I knew where an arc was going Thompson surprised me. That said… just start at the start with this one!

Death of Wolverine Omnibus [AKA Marvel Now or “by Cornell & Soule”] (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302959876)
See Guide to Wolverine. This is a highly unexpected omnibus, not only because this material isn’t terribly popular, but because it combines the runs of two different writers – not usually the way Marvel does things! However, all of Paul Cornell’s two-year run on Wolverine set up his impending death, which was written by Charles Soule. This also has all of the “Death of” mini-series, tie-ins, and eulogy issues. I can’t say I recommend this book, unfortunately. There’s only one Wolverine issue in it that I particularly loved.

Fantastic Four [Classic] Omnibus Vol. 5 (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302955526)
See Guide to Fantastic Four. We’re now just 40-odd issues away from this line meeting up with the John Byrne omnibuses, which I suspect will not be renumbered or remapped at all since they’ve always been pretty complete! that will mean we have oversize Fantastic Four past the mid-point of the 1980s!

Hulk by Cates & Ottley Omnibus (2024 paperback, ISBN 978-1302958558)
See Guide to Hulk – Bruce Banner. This one is a surprise to me! It’s very slim at just 18 issues, and this run wasn’t very well-received. Yet, Cates & Ottley both sell books – so here it is! If you want to read a Hulk book that’s all about Hulk smashing in the most silly, cartoonish way possible, this is your book! If you don’t want silly smash antics, it’s an automatic skip.

REPRINT: New Avengers Omnibus Vol. 1 (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN TBA)
See Guide to New Avengers. Is this a sign that Marvel is finally going to move forward with a well-mapped second volume of this omnibus to move forward with collecting Bendis’s run after years of reprinting it in paperback? Regardless, this is a pretty satisfying collection all on its own, tracking Bendis’s takeover of the Avengers from the beginning of Disassembled to the big reveal of the run-up to Secret Invasion.

REPRINT: Punisher Max by Aaron & Dillon (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302959104)
See Guide to Punisher. This directly follows the end of the Garth Ennis Max run.

ROM: The Original Marvel Years Omnibus Vol. 3 (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN TBA)
See Guide to ROM – Spaceknight. This book wraps up the reprint of the original 1979 ROM series. Some fans have clamored for it to include the Spaceknights (2000) #1-6 mini-series, which mines Marvel’s ROM continuity without ever showing him or saying his name. I just read that series for my guide – it’s pretty cool! But, it is so far divorced from the main body of ROM that I think it would be jarring to include it in this omnibus. Plus, as far as I know, Marvel has the rights to print it whenever they want since it doesn’t include any licensed material.

Star Wars: The High Republic Phase II – Quest of the Jedi Omnibus (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302958497)
See Guide to Star Wars Extended Universe comics. This is a very slim omnibus, but I’ve noticed Marvel isn’t afraid of that when it comes to Star Wars books. They know there’s a built-in audience for collected editions outside of just comic fans, and there’s no use waiting until series are amassed in a 1000-page tome that many folks would find unwieldy to read.

What If?: Into the Multiverse Omnibus, Vol. 2 (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN TBA)
See Guide to What If? This collects 36 issues of the 1989 What If revival, taking us through issue #75. A final volume would need to collect #76-114 & -1, which is a very attainable 40 issues of content.

 

December 2024 Marvel Omnibus

REPRINT: Captain America [Classic] Omnibus Vol. 3 (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN TBA / digital)
See Guide to Captain America. This volume takes us right up to the beginning of Captain America by Jack Kirby, now AKA as Volume 4.

REPRINT: X-Force Omnibus Vol. 1 (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN TBA)
See Guide to X-Force. This getting a reprint at the end of this year makes me wonder what we might be seeing from Cable and X-Force in the new “From the Ashes” relaunch of the X-Men line of comics, since it’s a bit too late of a release have synergy with Deadpool and Wolverine.

Secret Wars by Jonathan Hickman Omnibus (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN TBA)
See Guide to Avengers Flagship Titles (2010 – Present) or Guide to Marvel Universe Events. Real talk, y’all: this is just the “Time Runs Out” book mashed up with the main Secret Wars series – a pair of OHCs that make a lot of sense together, but which rudely overlap the second Hickman Avengers omnibus. If you have the Hickman omnibuses, you still just want the original Secret Wars oversize hardcover to complete your shelf. However, if you just want to appreciate Secret Wars with its direct lead-ins without reading all 60+ issues of Hickman’s Avengers, this is the book for you.

Star Wars Legends: The Empire Omnibus Vol. 3 (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN TBA)
See Guide to Star Wars Legends (Old Expanded Universe). “The Empire” is material connecting the Prequel Trilogy to the Original Trilogy. This omnibus collects material from most of Epic Collection Vol. 4, all of Vol. 5-6, and the beginning of Vol. 7. That means we’ll need one more omnibus to wrap this up!

X-Men: Decimation Omnibus (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN TBA)
See Guide to Marvel Universe Events. Don’t get to excited by the X-Men name on this book – it’s an event book, not really an X-Men gap filler. It’s a collection of the various post-House-of-M mini-series, many of which were pretty dull. There’s only three actual ongoing X-Men issues in this book.

X-Men: The Road to Onslaught Omnibus (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN TBA)
See Guide to Uncanny X-Men – The Crossover Era or Guide to X-Men (1991 – 2001). This perfectly collects the three “Road to Onslaught” trades, bridging from the end of Age of Apocalypse to the Onslaught Omnibus. That means we are now up to 1996 with complete oversize coverage of Uncanny X-Men!

January 2025 Marvel Omnibus

Daredevil by Chip Zdarsky [& Marco Checchetto] Vol. 2 (2025 oversize hardcover, ISBN TBA)
See Guide to Daredevil. This collects the back half of the astoundingly great Zdarsky/Checchetto run, including Devil’s Reign & Daredevi: The Woman Without Fear (but not Elektra #100)

Marvel: The End (2025 oversize hardcover, ISBN TBA)
Hmm – I don’t really have a guide for Marvel alternate futures that aren’t “What If.” Would you want to see this sort of book in the Guide to What If?, or should that guide stay strictly committed to comics only with that title? This collects Incredible Hulk: The End (2002) #1, Marvel Universe: The End (2003) #1-6, Wolverine: The End (2003) #1-6, X-Men: The End Book One (2004) #1-6, X-Men: The End Book Two (2005) #1-6, X-Men: The End Book Three (2006) #1-6, Fantastic Four: The End (2006) #1-6, Iron Man: The End (2008) #1, Captain America: The End (2020) #1, Captain Marvel: The End (2020) #1, Deadpool: The End (2020) #1, Doctor Strange: The End (2020) #1, Miles Morales: The End (2020) #1, Venom: The End (2020) #1 January 2025

Micronauts: The Original Marvel Years, Vol. 3
Sorry, y’all – no guide to Micronauts just yet! This wraps up their Marvel years with The Micronauts (1979) #55-59 and Micronauts: The New Voyages (1984) #1-20 (but not X-Men and the Micronauts (1983) #1-4)

Secret Wars Secret Wars: Battleworld, Vol. 1 (2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN TBA)
See Guide to Marvel Universe Events. Collects a number of Battlework mini-series that are completely unrelated to the main story of Secret Wars.

Spider-Man by Joe Kelly (2025 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302951931)
See Guide to Spider-Man – Peter Parker (1963-2018). I was surprised to see this pop up as the final book on the Near Mint Condition announcement stream. I had no idea Kelly was a popular enough Spider-Man writer to sell an omnibus of random, non-sequential stories on his name alone. That said: he does write one of my favorite modern Spideys! This collection stretches from anthology stories in 1996 to Kelly’s recent pair of fun, action-packed mini-series, Non-Stop Spider-Man (2021) and Savage Spider-Man (2022).
