Every Missing Marvel Team Omnibus, Mapped – Alpha Flight, Eternals, Inhumans, New Warriors, & more! | 13th Annual Tigereyes Most-Wanted Marvel Omnibus Poll

April 19, 2025 by krisis

It’s the most wonderful time of the year for Marvel Omnibus fans – time for the Tigereyes Most Wanted Marvel Omnibus 13th Annual Secret Ballot! This post explains every Marvel Team omnibus that does NOT exist (other than of Avengers, Defenders, Guardians of the Galaxy, & X-Men) – all of which will appear as options on the 2025 poll.

For the next two weeks, I’ll be covering Marvel’s entire publishing history by mapping missing omnibus volumes to fill in every gap in your Marvel oversize shelf! That’s all leading to the kickoff of the Tigereyes Most Wanted Marvel Omnibus 13th Annual Secret Ballot on Near Mint Condition on April 28, 2025.

What teams are we talking about? I’m so glad you asked! This post covers Agents of Atlas, Alpha Flight, Champions, Clandestine, Damage Control, Eternals, Heroes for Hire, The Inhumans, The Invaders, The Lost Generation, New Warriors, Nextwave, Power Pack, Runaways, Squadron Supreme, and Thunderbolts.

Some of those teams only have a single omnibus worth of material. Others have already had several omnibuses published and just need one or two to reach complete coverage.

If you’re not sure of what to vote for, stick around for a list of books vetted by a gang of the biggest mapping nerds on the internet with explanations from yours truly – keeper of the most-definitive guides to Marvel’s collected editions on the planet.

Every Missing Midnight Sons Omnibus, Mapped | 13th Annual Tigereyes Most-Wanted Marvel Omnibus Poll

It’s the most wonderful time of the year for Marvel Omnibus fans – time for the Tigereyes Most Wanted Marvel Omnibus 13th Annual Secret Ballot! This post explains every Blade, Ghost Rider, & Midnight Sons omnibus that does NOT exist – all of which will appear as options on the 2025 poll.

Maybe you didn’t realize it, but we’re in a Golden Age of Ghost Rider in omnibus! We’ve just had two volumes of his 1990s series announced for release just 13 months apart. For a series that was almost entirely uncollected as of two years ago, that’s pretty amazing.

Of course, that gives us a grand total of just four Ghost Rider omnibuses – there are so many more we need to completely cover the many iterations of the character.

Meanwhile, there’s the remainder of Marvel’s spookiest characters, many of whom are known collectively as the “Midnight Sons.” We have single omnibuses for Blade, Hellstrom, Man-Thing, Morbius, & Werewolf by Night, but all of them could use at least one more volume. Plus, Darkhold and Terror Inc. have never had an omnibus. Oh, heck, let’s throw Dracula in there, too… he turns out to hav more solo material than most of those Midnight Sons!

Should we make 2026 a very scary year for Marvel omnibuses? Let’s take a look at the mapping for Ghost Rider and all of Marvel’s horrific heroes and anti-heroes.

Every Missing Thor Omnibus, Mapped | 13th Annual Tigereyes Most-Wanted Marvel Omnibus Poll

April 18, 2025 by krisis

It’s the most wonderful time of the year for Marvel Omnibus fans – time for the Tigereyes Most Wanted Marvel Omnibus 13th Annual Secret Ballot! This post explains every Asgard & Thor omnibus that does NOT exist – all of which will appear as options on the 2025 poll.

We’re getting a major Thor omnibus later this year – The Mighty Thor Vol. 5 from his classic line! That brings us just two volumes away from a continuous oversize shelf that reaches Walt Simonson’s material. Meanwhile, 2024 brought us two modern Thor omnibuses in Thor by Straczynski & Gillen and Thor by Cates & Klein – which mean we now also have continuous coverage of Thor from 1998 to 2023!

That makes Thor perhaps Marvel’s most well-collected major character out of all of its Silver Age heavyweights. What’s left to collect? A handful of classic volumes we can safely map, the 90s, and many Asgardian supporting characters… but not Loki, who has now been covered quite comprehensively in oversize format!

Every Missing Iron Man Omnibus, Mapped | 13th Annual Tigereyes Most-Wanted Marvel Omnibus Poll

April 18, 2025 by krisis

It’s the most wonderful time of the year for Marvel Omnibus fans – time for the Tigereyes Most Wanted Marvel Omnibus 13th Annual Secret Ballot! This post explains every Iron Man omnibus that does NOT exist – all of which will appear as options on the 2025 poll.

Iron Man has surprisingly few omnibuses compared to Captain America and Thor. While we got an early 2026 announcement of Iron Man: Armor Wars, it’s a hodgepodge of a book that collects three different disconnected runs. It’s looking like we’re at risk at falling into an every-other-year schedule for Iron Man omnis, so let’s get to voting to show Marvel what we want!

Every Missing Captain America Omnibus, Mapped | 13th Annual Tigereyes Most-Wanted Marvel Omnibus Poll

It’s the most wonderful time of the year for Marvel Omnibus fans – time for the Tigereyes Most Wanted Marvel Omnibus 13th Annual Secret Ballot! This post explains every Captain America omnibus that does NOT exist – all of which will appear as options on the 2025 poll.

Captain America has scored just a single 2025 omnibus announcement with Captain America by Mark Gruenwald Vol. 2 – the second of four planned volumes of Gruenwald’s decade-long run on Captain America. However, that doesn’t fully tell the story of recent Cap omnis, since he got two new books in 2024 (Captain America by Mark Gruenwald Vol. 1 and Captain America by Nick Spencer Vol. 2), plus all three of his existing classic omnis got a reprint in 2024 followed by a rebranding of Captain America by Jack Kirby as Captain America Vol. 4.

What does that mean for Captain America omnibuses? We’d still need well over a dozen books to collect all of his material in oversize hardcover, but we’re nearing complete coverage in the 80s, 00s, and 10s.
