Captain America, Iron Man, & Thor Omnibus Mapping for the Tigereyes Most Wanted Marvel Omnibus 12th Annual Secret Ballot

by

Until April 5, I’ll be loosely mapping missing and most-wanted Marvel omnibus volumes every day! Today I’ll be looking at all of the omnibuses that don’t yet exist for Marvel’s holy trinity of Avengers – Captain America, Iron Man, and Thor (including other Asgardian heroes).

This post explains titles and potential Captain America, Thor, & Iron Man Omnibus Mapping for entries on the Tigereyes Most Wanted Marvel Omnibus 12th Annual Secret Ballot. You can vote right now (until 5 April 2024 @ midnight US ET) or watch our mega-length announcement stream reviewing every single voting option.

All three of Marvel’s trinity of prime Avengers have had their own multiple-installment movie franchises, which means they uncoincidentally have some of the best omnibus coverage of every Marvel solo hero (except for Moon Knight!). But, each of these characters still need more than a handful of additional omnibuses to cover their entire comic lines from their debut to present day. Plus, we’ll look at a quintet of supporting Asgardian heroes – Beta Ray Bill, Thunderstrike, Valkyrie, Jane Foster, and Angela.

If you’re not sure of what to vote for, stick around for my explanations. Or, if you’ve already voted, learn why the team behind the poll decided on these books and titles – including some of my mistakes and regrets as one of the editors of the options on the final poll.

Or… just find some great comics to read!

Remember: These mappings are just my suggestion of how Marvel could assemble these books. They are meant to help you decide on your votes and build your personal reading list, but your vote on the poll is NOT an endorsement of my specific map. It’s a vote in favor of Marvel creating a book with that title or covering that period.

For less than the cost of a single comic issue a month you can fuel my in-depth comics coverage, plus gain access to dozens of exclusive collecting guides & reading orders – including all of the Crushing Comics Guide to Marvel Comics.

Fantastic Four Omnibus Mapping for the Tigereyes Most Wanted Marvel Omnibus 12th Annual Secret Ballot

by

For the next two weeks, I’ll be loosely mapping missing and most-wanted Marvel omnibus volumes every day! Today I’ll be looking at all of the omnibuses that don’t yet exist for Marvel’s Fantastic Four comics.

As Marvel’s “First Family,” Fantastic Four already has solid coverage in omnibus format. However, we still over a dozen omnibuses to completely cover Fantastic Four in oversize format! They slightly lag behind Avengers partly because the Fantastic Four isn’t yet in the MCU, which creates obvious omnibus demand. That’s all going to change soon – so it’s time to start voting for more Fantastic Four books!

Marvel Events Omnibus Mapping for the Tigereyes Most Wanted Marvel Omnibus 12th Annual Secret Ballot

For the next two weeks, I’ll be loosely mapping missing and most-wanted Marvel omnibus volumes every day! Today I’ll be looking at all of the omnibuses that don’t yet exist for Marvel’s linewide event comics like Secret Wars, Infinity Gauntlet, Civil War, and more!

The poll options in this category were edited by the excellent Dom of X! I’ve known Dom for several years, but have just recently had the chance to chat with him live on the X-Men Evergreen Omnibus stream, which has been a delight. Working behind the scenes with him to try to identify every missing event book and what it could contain was an extremely fun project.

Marvel has done a strong job of collecting their events into omnibus format over the past 20 years, but there are still several events from the 80s through just last year that have never seen release in oversize hardcover format. Plus, there are several events where the main event was originally released in an oversize hardcover that is long out-of-print, which could be re-issued along with its tie-in issues and companion material.

If you’re not sure of what to vote for, stick around for my explanations. Or, if you’ve already voted, learn why the team behind the poll decided on these books and titles – including some of my mistakes and regrets as one of the editors of the options on the final poll.

Marvel Imprints & Alternate Realities Omnibus Mapping for the Tigereyes Most Wanted Marvel Omnibus 12th Annual Secret Ballot

by

For the next two weeks, I’ll be loosely mapping missing and most-wanted Marvel omnibus volumes every day! Today I’ll be looking at all of the omnibuses that don’t yet exist for Marvel’s Imprint & Alternate Reality comics.

Announcing Tigereyes Most Wanted Marvel Omnibus 12th Annual Secret Ballot LIVE on Near Mint Condition

This post explains titles and potential Marvel Imprints & Alternate Realities Omnibus Mapping for entries on the Tigereyes Most Wanted Marvel Omnibus 12th Annual Secret Ballot. You can vote right now (until 5 April 2024 @ midnight US ET) or watch our mega-length announcement stream reviewing every single voting option.

The tricky thing with this category is that Marvel’s Multiverse is infinite, which means there are always more alternate realty books we could uncover and figure out how to summarize for the poll. However, the alternate realities in this post represent the most-popular options from prior years of the poll. If you notice I’ve missed one, please comment!

Those alternate realities include Malibu Ultraverse, Marvel 1602, Marvel MAX, MC2, Ultimate Marvel, the many multiverses of What If, and several others listed below.

While Marvel’s history of publishing imprints isn’t quite so vast, there still have been 60+ sub-lines of Marvel Comics from the 1930s to the present day. Again, we didn’t capture 100% of these Marvel imprints! But, I think we did a good job of catching the biggest imprints that lasted the longest and had the most shared continuity (whether that was just with themselves or with the Marvel Universe as a whole).

Those imprints include Crossgen, Marvel 2099, Marvel UK, and New Universe.

If you’re not sure of what to vote for, stick around for my explanations. Or, if you’ve already voted, learn why the team behind the poll decided on these books and titles – including some of my mistakes and regrets as one of the editors of the options on the final poll.
