Ha! Right.

Never watched Twighlight. With the Dracula novel as my standard, the Twiglight vampires are not vampires.

With their power of hypnosis, their super strength, their ability to manipulate the elements and other creatures of the earth, their superior speed and reflexes, their ability to withstand injury from most any assault, and, through the combination of super strength, speed, reflexes and hypnosis, to convert mortals into vampires, they’re extremely dangerous. Thor and the Silver Surfer both have battled Dracula only to a standstill, as an example.

And i believe that's probably the best run of Marvel

I got the Aaron Wolverine stuff as Omnibuses except Wolverine and The X-Men, i missed that one unfortunatly and waiting for a reprint. :/ I'm an omnibus guy. I may get Aaron Avengers Omnibus as well, after all Aaron has good word of mouth around him... Not as big as Hickman hype but it's there.

As Mugatu would say: ''Hickman, he's so hot right now'' lol
The Avengers Omnibus editions don't include Secret Wars. I love Hickman's work on Fantastic Four/Avengers/Secret Wars. It's one long grand, majestic story which I don't think will be topped anytime soon. His Avengers run I found to be quite modern compared to the more classic-styled Busiek/Pérez issues with the addition of unconventional new members like Cannonball, Sunspot and Hyperion. Hyperion's friendship with Thor towards the end was written very well.

Hickman's New Avengers run in particular is rated very highly in this ranking of his best comic book work: https://www.pastemagazine.com/articl...-all-time.html

I notice the slipcase edition does not include any of Hickman's work.

Hickman's Avengers run needs to be consumed in its entirety. I don't think a few issues taken out of context for another compendium will read well.

I'm just hoping that Dracula looks and acts like the character from "Tomb of Dracula"! The X-Men vampire story had a strange looking Dracula, that didn't feel like him.

I doubt it. Marvel screwed the pooch in how they presented Dracula in Curse of the Mutants, which they repeated in Fear Itself. I’m sure Dracula will be presented in the same way rather than the Gene Colan rendition from the always awesome and absolutely timeless Tomb of Dracula.

You know, I was so focused on Twilight that I completely missed Snipe’s Blade in the background. That’s hilarious!
