It’s that time of the year!
The time of the year when the Edelweiss Random House catalog for Marvel hits the web and we can see how our wallets will suffer next year! And suffer next year our wallets will. There’s some serious firepower coming out of the archives.
Here in this article you’ll find some highlights and descriptions of upcoming releases that range from February 2024 to July 2024. These catalogs will most likely expand over time, but that’s no reason not to get excited now!
Before going forward, remember, all collected editions discussed below can be ordered through your local comic shop. Some omnibi even have special covers you can ONLY GET THROUGH COMIC SHOPS.
So, without further ado…Let’s get into it! Let’s take a look at some of the new books hitting our shelves next year!
The Highlights
First off is the Official Handbook of The Marvel Universe: Master Edition Omnibus vol. 1. Now, if you’ve been keeping your eye on releases over the past few years, you’ll know the Handbook has had a good few omni releases. But the master edition is THE edition to have. This was the set you had as a kid that you’d put in a binder. If you know what that meant, congrats, you’re old and I work in a comic shop. Anyways! Vol. 1 will cover half the master edition with #s 1-36. It has a released date of February 6th, 2024 and will run you $100 usd.
Our next title we’re looking at is a Thunderbolts Red Omnibus! This is the Thunderbolts run that Daniel Way scripted back in 2012. This series has not had a collected release since it was coming out month to month, so for any fans of that team, this’ll be the omnibus to get! It collectes Thunderbolts (2012) #1-32 plus the annual. That’s the whole series in a lovely hardcover for $100 usd! It’ll be hitting stores on February 13th, 2024. What better gift for your valentine than the gift of comics?
This…can’t be right? Beyond the smattering of other Deadpool collections I haven’t mentioned between the last 2 and this one…we’re getting Deadpool vs. Wolverine!? A 336 page collection of 12 issues containing Deadpool and Wolverine’s fights from throughout different eras of comic book history! That’s a softcover that’ll run you $34.99 on April 9th, 2024. It also says in my notes…it gets bigger when it’s a hardcover? But that will cost you extra?
This next one is for those who may have been living under a rock and missed the news. Micronauts: The Original Marvel Years Omnibus vol. 1 is hitting your local shops on April 16th, 2024! This long awaited collection will contain a mere fraction of Marvel’s Micronauts content. It’s got Micronauts (1979) #1-29, Annual #1&2, and material from Micronauts Special Edition #1-5. The artwork is supposed to be completely restored and the omnibus will have house ads, letter pages and more! That’s going to cost your wallet $125 usd.
With the X-Factor omnibus, our highlights are concluded! That isn’t to say everything doesn’t deserve a spotlight, but there’s 215 titles in the catalog this time around. This article would look more like a novel if we did highlights of them all!
