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 non-flagship X-Men team omnibus map for story material from 2001 to 2019 that has not yet been collected comprehensively in omnibus.
What’s a non-flagship X-Men team? That means books like Excalibur, New Mutants, Generation X, Academy X, X-Factor, X-Force, and more!
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.
While Marvel has been spreading the omnibus love around every era of Flagship X-Men in 2026, when it comes to supporting X-Teams they have been laser focused on one thing: Completing existing lines!
In 2026 we’re getting Excalibur Vol. 4, which completes Excalibur (1988) in omnibus; New Mutants Vol. 4, which completes New Mutants (1983) in omnibus; and X-Factor: The Original X-Men Vol. 2-3, which completes the first half of X-Factor (1986) in omnibus.
That creates a fascinating cadence when it comes to Marvel’s omnibus release schedule, because we have the opportunity to kick off new lines of collection!
Will Marvel simply move forward chronologically to the next-oldest material to continue collecting X-Factor (1986) and X-Force (1991), while also kicking off Generation X (1994)?
Or, will this be a chance for Marvel to briefly shift their focus from the mid-90s to some other hotly-requested material, like Exiles (2001), New X-Men: Academy X (2004), and X-Force (2008) – all of which are perennial favorites on the Tigereyes 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 X-Men Team omnibus that does NOT exist (other X-Men themselves) – all of which will appear as options on the 2025 poll.
