Near Mint Condition recently announced the first new Marvel omnibus coming in February 2027, and it is a major announcement – X-Men: Age of Krakoa – Reign of X Omnibus Vol. 2!
The announcement of this book isn’t exactly a surprise. Krakoa era omnibuses have proven to be major sellers for Marvel, with the first two volumes of “Dawn of X” both requiring rush restocks to keep up with demand.
The general shape of the contents of this volume are not a surprise, either. Anyone who pays close attention to the mapping of these books (e.g., me) could have told you with 99% certainty that this volume would collect through the end of the original 2021 Hellfire Gala, inclusive of all of the issues that were a part of the Gala.
Personally, I thought this would stretch another 4-5 issues past the Gala to pick up either the Trial of Magneto (2021) mini-series or the first arc of X-Men (2021) by Gerry Duggan. It seemed like grabbing those extra issues would act as a solid epilogue the Gala and would set up the next omnibus to be a reasonable length.
Instead, this ends with the Gala, but does pick up pretty much every minor anthology story from non-X titles it could possibly grab in this period. I think that’s an awesome sign from Marvel that they’re paying close attention to the mapping of these books and are not just copy-and-pasting the Krakoa era release schedule into omnibus.
What does this mean for the following Krakoa omnis? I think we’ll need TWO MORE books to make it all the way to the end of Jonathan Hickman’s run with Inferno (2021) before the act break for The X Lives/Deaths of Wolverine. Just covering the next 2-3 months of issues after this is another 46-issue omnibus, which doesn’t even get us all the way to Inferno (2021) [Read more…] about Marvel Omnibus Announcement: X-Men: Age of Krakoa – Reign of X Omnibus Vol. 2
Runaways by Rainbow Rowell Omnibus is one of my favorite Marvel runs of the past decade. Rowell’s run follows a group of characters who were always more entertaining as found family with interpersonal drama than they were as superheroes.
