It's going to look so good having 5 omnibus editions on my shelf with all of this run. Bonus, I haven't read most of the material that will be in this one.

Avengers/X-Men Onslaught (1297 pages, July release) I guess I'll finally read this story.

Annihilation Conquest Omnibus (872 pages, June release) I'm in and have been interested in reading this. The hard covers got really expensive so this will be perfect.

Fantastic Four volume 3 by Stan Lee and Kirby (Collecting FANTASTIC FOUR (1961) #61-93 and ANNUAL #5-7, and material from NOT BRAND ECHH #5-7).

We see new Marvel Masterworks Thor vol 14 and Fantastic Four volume 17.

Looks like OHC editions of X-Men the Hunt for Professor X. This was a 1998, six-issue crossover between Uncanny X-Men and X-Men written by Steven Seagle and Joe Kelly. Rumor has it this will be more than just the six issues.

There is also a Prelude to Secret War with no info on content yet.

Marvel is doing a Hawkeye OHC volume 2 after all: http://www.amazon.com/Hawkeye-2-Marv...5654738&sr=1-5

Your link doesn't work, FYI.

Anyone picking up the Marvel 75th Anniversary Omnibus? I'm passing only because I have too much of the content already in other books. But, curious about anyone else.

I just finished reading Dark Avengers omnibus. For the life of me, I couldn't see what the hubbub was all about. Things took forever to get anywhere. Sentry and the new Venom must be among the most irritating Marvel characters ever written. Sure, some of the banter between these dark Avengers was fun but we hardly got to know the majority of the cast members in any meaningful way. The three characters I would have liked to have known better (Karla, Noh, and Wolvie's son) were barely given any screen time. A number of the segments with Doom barely made sense. Overall, it was just okay for me. This one goes on the shelf. No second reading.

Sadly, that's the end for most comic book stories nowadays. One read through is enough.

I hope & believe I'm getting the enormous 75 Years of Marvel Book by Taschen, if that's what you mean. Will display next to their DC one. Can't wait for Santa.

I'm getting this one, too. But, no, I'm referring to the omnibus that's already been released:

Marvel also announced a second Marvel Star Wars omnibus for next year. Pretty quick release of volume two.

can someone please tell me why the hawkeye Omnibus is the same price as the Fantastic Four Vol. 3 Omnibus when it has nearly half the page count?!
