Near Mint Condition announced a Marvel omnibus reprint for March 2027 that really took me by surprise: Deadpool by Joe Kelly Omnibus.
The Deadpool by Joe Kelly omnibus was originally published in 2013. It collects the first three years of Deadpool (1997), the first ongoing series for the Merc With a Mouth. That portion of the run was written entirely by Joe Kelly, with Christopher Priest taking over in the following issue.
From a timing perspective, this reprint makes sense. This new printing of Deadpool by Joe Kelly will arrive 14 years after the original omnibus. Finding copies of the original printing for sale could be a tough task.
The thing that surprises me is picking this Deadpool omnibus – or, really, any Deadpool omnibus, since Marvel has seemed allergic to printing any oversize Deadpool for several years running aside from Deadpool & X-Force Omnibus in 2025 (which is really just X-Force Omnibus Vol. 2 with a clever marketing title).
If we were going to see any Deadpool solo omnibus be reprinted, my money would have been on the Deadpool by Posehn & Duggan Omnibus – a run that was instantly recognized as a modern classic and which pairs well with his MCU persona and joke density.
However, the x-factor here (lower case x-factor, not the X-Team) is Joe Kelly. Joe Kelly is currently helming Amazing Spider-Man (2025) for Marvel, and it has been consistently one of their top-selling titles as well as one of the best-written. It is a long-established fact that when an author is current active at Marvel, chances of their material hitting omnibus is significantly higher.
