I begin this episode reminiscing about the history of the Marvel Omnibus program, not realizing I would be pulling out one their earliest and most often-reprinted omnibuses – and one of my all-time favorites – Uncanny X-Men, Vol. 1. I get so distracted talking about it’s place in Marvel’s history (both of comics and omnibuses) that I almost forget to talk about its contents!

Episode 16 features Uncanny X-Men Omnibus, Vol. 1 (Amazon / eBay) as covered by my Guide to Claremont-era X-Men.
In this episode I get to show off my (mostly-correct) knowledge about a slightly obscure corner of X-Men lore – Captain Britain’s early, UK-only history. Did you know that it was largely written by Chris Claremont?!

Episode 15 features Captain Britain – Volume 1: Birth of a Legend (Amazon / eBay) and Captain Britain – Volume 2: Siege of Camelot (Amazon / eBay), both of which are covered in the Guide to Captain Britain & Excalibur.
Today’s character guide update is for another supporting character in Marvel’s TV Universe – The Definitive Guide to Elektra.
Elektra started out as a villain who was never meant to be used by anyone but Frank Miller. As with all good Marvel villains, eventually she became a hero – but, she still has an intriguing history with the rest of Marvel’s characters.
Want to know more but don’t need a comprehensive guide just yet? Keep reading for a brief history of Elektra, where to start reading, what she’s been up to in 2017, and a tally of her overall status in collected editions.
