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 CrossGen omnibus map of material that has not yet been collected comprehensively in omnibus.
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.
What is CrossGen? An independently operated imprint full of a series of interconnected realities that ranged from sword-and-sorcery to space opera to Victorian-era detectives… all linked by the mysterious of their creation and the uncertainty of their futures. Each major ongoing title in the universe was launched by a top-flight creative team, including folks like Mark Waid, Ron Marz, Mike Carey, Barbara Kesel, Butch Guide, Jim Cheung, Greg Land, and more!
Marvel’s Crossgen imprint has already seen two omnibuses of its two of its most-popular series, Sigil and Mystic. Omar at Near Mint Condition has hinted that we almost had another omnibus a year or two again. We could see the entire remainder of this imprint shared universe collected in 9-10 books!
But, will Marvel ever make room on their schedule for it? Some of the creators, like Mark Waid and Jim Cheung, remain a massive draw for collectors today. Others might be a harder sell, but these “all in one” omnibuses like these are always attractive to readers – especially with this level of creator pedigree!
Thanks to my data-loving colleagues Tigereyes and bffnut for their help with this post.
