If only they were that thorough about the Claremont/Romita era, which remains largely uncollected.shagamuhttp://mbbforum.com/mbbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-52265179967578720492012-12-07T19:42:49.663-06:002012-12-07T19:42:49.663-06:00I think the main reason why there aren't more ...I think the main reason why there aren't more omnibuses for Claremont is that many of the issues are collected in the crossover trades (Mutant Massacre, Fall of the Mutants, Inferno, etc.). Marvel knows that omnibuses are out of the price range of a lot of fans, so they've started breaking them down into smaller trades. For instance, the "Fall of the Mutants" hardcover is getting republished as two softcovers early next year. I can see this happening a lot over the next two years as the X-Men publishing juggernaut rolls on.<br /><br />(This shouldn't be confused with the Juggernaut publishing X-Men, which is Cain Marko's new day job.)doug.glassmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18018711097234509826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-31036570724054174222012-12-06T04:10:25.064-06:002012-12-06T04:10:25.064-06:00It's like I predicted you would be reviewing t...It's like I predicted you would be reviewing this one soon! <br />-> http://fav.me/d5n4xei<br /><br />Anyways, I still need to actually give a read to this big epic storyline finally.<br />These recent editions are the perfect excuse to catch-up!Eyzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05350758607787528425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-49632730885722258082012-12-05T11:09:43.096-06:002012-12-05T11:09:43.096-06:00Is the 2nd run Claremont did with Jim Lee good?

I have never read any of this presumably legendary run (and honestly not a ton of Marvel in general), even though I offhand know so many story points in them, so I really just want the giant collections to go deep with it. -JAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-24872486791148978382012-12-05T10:51:45.413-06:002012-12-05T10:51:45.413-06:00No, but it would be included in a hypothetical Unc...No, but it would be included in a hypothetical Uncanny X-Men Omnibus Vol. 2, which should feature the same content as Masterworks volumes 5 to 7. Some theorize Marvel is delaying it because they want its release to coincide with the next X-Men movie's premiere.shagamuhttp://mbbforum.com/mbbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-52774676872724333832012-12-05T09:25:46.979-06:002012-12-05T09:25:46.979-06:00Question, do you know if this book is also include...Question, do you know if this book is also included in the Claremont X-Men omnibuses?

I wish there was an option other than the Masterworks to collect Claremont's X-Men with no missing issues between volumes.shagamuhttp://mbbforum.com/mbbnoreply@blogger.com
