@@yonan3232 That's what most people say, but I prefer his work on Amazing Spider-Man. His Ultimate was different and not my favorite. I still enjoy it a lot though.
@marcelo-ramos agreed. I think Ultimate is written better and though Bagley is firing on all cylinders there I think his 90's Amazing style is his peak.
Round Robin was the first comic I ever got my hands on; every word bubble was a collection of hash marks to me. I worked my butt off to figure out reading with the class books over recess and slowly but surely it started to decode and now reading is just about my favourite thing to do. Remember what seems impossible today may very well just turn into something you do tomorrow. Keep at it.
It’s finally here! The DM cover was a poor choice though since that cover is already used in the Spider-Man vs Venom Omni. Standard for me. Can see myself doing a custom though.
I really dig how Marvel is giving options on how we get to shape our shelf story. Spider-man vs Venom as a Venomnibus Zero for the Venom-heads M&B v1-2 for folks like me who dig New Warriors, Round Robin, Venom, etc, and grew up on the 90's Marvel cartoons ASM v14-15 or whatever for all you mainline Web-head completionists. I was happy to set up my X-Men arc with Uncanny v5, X-Factor v1, Mutant Massacre, and the rest of the event books
It's finally here! This was my most wanted Omnibus for years so I'm really happy it's here! I have the Epic collections of this era but will gladly double dip this time around. I'm sure vol 2 will include all of Maximum Carnage, makes no sense to leave it out and there is room for it. Can we next get DeMatteis' run please? 🤞
I loved Mark Bagley’s art on New Warriors and it’s so cool that Nova and Night Thrasher make an appearance in the stories here. I’ve heard good things about Michelinie too. I think this might be the first Spider-Man omni I pick up
Marvel has done a decent job of including fill-in and cross-over issues. Two of these omnis cover the M&B centric stories and their peripheral focus, Spider-man vs Vemon to really make it the Venomnibus Zero, then ASM 14/15 or whatever for the Omni completionists. Options to create your own shelf story.
Here's the overview I was waiting to make a decision. I'll keep my Spider-Man vs Venom Omnibus and start collecting Spider-Man Epics to cover this era 😊
Great overview as usual. I read this stuff via the epic collections and I really enjoyed so for me it was a no brainer to upgrade to the omnibus. The standard edition cover is incredible. You’re spot on about waiting for the theoretical Amazing Spider-Man Omnibus Vol 15. That’s probably a decade away at a minimum. Who wants to wait that long?
I somehow missed the announcement for this book, so now it is going to be a while before I can afford to buy it. Bummed about that. Still, nice that we will have another 25 issues of Amazing in Omni form. Hopefully they cover 376-397 (or up to whatever issue was in the Clone Saga V1) sooner rather than later. I had several issues from this run when I was growing up.
This is labelled as a volume 1, which normally means a 2nd one will follow soon. That will plug thay gap & presumably include all the crossovers for maximum carnage etc
Michelinie and Bagley run through 388, so Volume 2 would be a small omni without Maximum Carnage. I expect they will add the crossover than runs through 389 as well.
Oh man very tempting to get this book even though I already own just about every issue in other formats (Epic, Misc TPs etc). If I end up getting this, it will for sure be a double if not triple dip but I'll probably stop at Vol1. As much as I love DM and MB Spidey, everything they did after this (Maximum Carnage) was just something i could not stand. Thanks for a great review!
I tried starting with the Michileini McFarlane omnibus and I felt like I didn’t know enough of what was going on and why. Really wanted to read that era through this Bagley era
I absolutely love this era of Spiderman. However, I already own the Spiderman vs Venom Omnibus as well as the Moon Knight Omnibus and a couple similar trades. I am on the fence if its worth it because it will be a lot of double dipping. What is your thoughts?
I have the vs venomnibus too. I also have the other Michelinie omnis, with Larsen & Mcfarlane, so nearly everything is double dipped in the venomnibus. I'll probably sell it when vol 2 of Bagley comes out
Hello, there. I have the Venom and Spiderman omnibus, as well as the Micheliene one and the Hero killers epic. Do you recommend me to get that one? I was thinking in buying de Venomnibus 1. I also have the Mcfarlane omnibus Thanks
I pre-ordered this about as soon as I saw it back in late April/ early May. I got the DM cover. I can't wait for all of the spider-man omnis I bought this summer. I pre-ordered this, the Black costume saga and Michelinie/Larsen omni. Gonna be a lot of spider-man reading this fall. Your review made we want to pick up New Warriors 1. I'm gonna have to start selling my blood soon.
Wow, I had forgotten about the Gwen Stacy story told by MJ. That was a good story. Looking forward to reading it again as I have this on pre-order. Micheline's run is one of my favorite runs, probably just behind the Stern and JRJR run. And unless Spider-man omnis start coming out twice annually, we won't see volumes 15+ for another 20 years or so. So, a bird in hand as they say...
Still strikes me as odd when people discuss the best Spidey writers of all time and Michelnie either is not mentioned at all or with a "oh yeah, he was awesome too" towards the end.
Marvel must have very inconsistent staffing for their design department to not take the colour into account, or one that just doesn’t pay much attention to their past releases. The black on the board works (awkwardly) so much better & can easily be applied to the back cover collage like the other classic omnis of the line. By no means a deal breaker of course content wise but for some the white amongst a shelf of black definitely sticks out, just more free real estate for the custom crew.
So much double dipping in this omnibus with other omnibus’ (Marc Spector moon knight vol 1, new warriors vol 1, spider-man vs venom omnibus) is it worth the double dipping for some extra micheline and bagley issues?
I'm currently reading JMS Spider-Man Volume 1 (10 issues left) and enjoying the run so far (wish there were more classic villains)!! Do you guys recommend this run as a new-ish Spider-Man reader?
Huh, was not expecting this to be white, when all the other omnis from the collection have black dust jackets 🧐 Not super happy with how the DM cover turned out, not a huge fan of these covers with the image contained to just a portion of the cover. At least I got it with a substantial discount 🤷♂️
It looks so much better without dust jacket. The cover choices were not the best for this one, considering the amount of totally awesome covers Bagley did.
I’ve read some of Michelinie’s issues collected here and thought they were subpar when compared to Roger Stern or J. M. DeMatteis. However the art is so good.
TBH im going to pretty upset if they don’t include all of maximum carnage in vol 2. They did that with the Larsen Omni and it’s extremely disappointing
The only thing I’m kind of like down about is I really don’t think Maximum Carnage will be collected all in the second volume which I’m like ugh I don’t want the Spider-Man vs Venom Omni just for that story.
Much as I'd love to buy this, it should have been released 25 years ago. Age will make it hard work to read. That era I love, but most people will struggle to fly through this
I'm still buying it but now that I know eventually it will be collected correctly through the amazing spider-man omnibus line, this just feels like an incomplete or incorrect way of collecting spider-man. I just feel like I'll always be waiting and holding out for a cohesive way to read some of these characters, whether it be X-men, spider-man, etc.
Why would it be more "correct" when the exact name same stuff is collected in the ASM omnibuses? I'm any event, I'm definitely not interested in waiting a decade or two for that day to come along.
I shouldn’t have watched this. I had a lot of these issues and believe Bagley is the definitive Spidey artist. There’s just too much good stuff coming out right now and I can’t afford to get them all. DANG IT!!
I always looking at the Spiderman vs venom omnibus. But now that the alien costume saga, and this being collected. There’s no reason for me to pick up that. I would rather have the individual omnibus runs and get maximum carnage in epic collection.
Saying this could be fully collected in a volume 15/16 when Spider fans are on their heels for volume 6 like it's nothing is crazy 😂 I'm going to try to get this and worry about that in about 10 years
The first Spider-man comics I ever read are from this era, so I would say yes. There are better runs to get into the character, but this one is definitely a good one.
Some people might recommend Roger Stern’s run, but I think Michelinie’s is less wordy, and more accessible. So I think this would be a great book to get into the character. Now the best possible way to get into Spiderman is Ultimate Spiderman by Bendis.
Hello, there. I have the Spiderman vs Venom omnibus and the Hero killers epics ... instead of getting this omni, which epic should I buy? Thanks in advance for your help.
@@McDuendisIf you have Hero Killers epic already, then you’d just need Round Robin (Epic Vol. 22) and Invasion of Spider-Slayers (Epic Vol. 24) to cover the contents of this omnibus and more.
Yeah, I'm in the same boat here. I didn't realize that's how it was going to be laid out. Wish I went with the standard cover this time. Makes me wonder if the X-men Prelude to Onslaught omnis will be the same since both covers are wraparounds.
Mark Bagley in the 90's was at his peak!
Finally an omnibus that covers this specific era.
While this run is my intro to comic years, I must say Ultimate Spider-Man is Bagley's peak
@@yonan3232 That's what most people say, but I prefer his work on Amazing Spider-Man. His Ultimate was different and not my favorite. I still enjoy it a lot though.
@marcelo-ramos agreed. I think Ultimate is written better and though Bagley is firing on all cylinders there I think his 90's Amazing style is his peak.
@yonan3232 I suppose that’s just subjective. I also prefer his 90s era. I don’t like how cartoon-ish the Ultimate Spider-Man is.
This is probably my most wanted omnibus of all time! I’m so glad it’s finally happening! Thanks for the updates Omar👊🏻
Round Robin was the first comic I ever got my hands on; every word bubble was a collection of hash marks to me. I worked my butt off to figure out reading with the class books over recess and slowly but surely it started to decode and now reading is just about my favourite thing to do.

Just take off the dust jacket 😅. The hidden 3rd cover is right there!
Yeah the DM should have been amazing Spider-Man 361 in my opinion. Very happy with the standard edition cover though.
I really dig how Marvel is giving options on how we get to shape our shelf story.
Spider-man vs Venom as a Venomnibus Zero for the Venom-heads
M&B v1-2 for folks like me who dig New Warriors, Round Robin, Venom, etc, and grew up on the 90's Marvel cartoons
ASM v14-15 or whatever for all you mainline Web-head completionists.

This is so awesome.
McFarlane, Larson and Bagley are golden age of spiderman for me.
Omar, some of us depend on you for these sort of things. I really appreciate it.
Wow! What a book. 😎
Only a thousand away Omar. 😉
I loved Mark Bagley’s art on New Warriors and it’s so cool that Nova and Night Thrasher make an appearance in the stories here. I’ve heard good things about Michelinie too. I think this might be the first Spider-Man omni I pick up
A dream come through. I could never afford much comics in high school and I borrowed these from a friend back then!! Cannot wait to read this!! 🎉🎉🎉
Vol 2 would be pretty thin if they don't include all of Maximum Carnage. So it's very likely they'll include all of it.
Marvel has done a decent job of including fill-in and cross-over issues.

I'll keep my Spider-Man vs Venom Omnibus and start collecting Spider-Man Epics to cover this era 😊
I was wondering why series Like Web, Spectacular and the rest of the 90's Spider-man series totally get ignored to get reprinted.

You’re spot on about waiting for the theoretical Amazing Spider-Man Omnibus Vol 15. That’s probably a decade away at a minimum. Who wants to wait that long?
Straight up man its true! Its been a long enough wait for the omnibus vol 6 hahaha, not waiting a decade, very excited for this omnibus next month!!

I have those as well.
I’m gonna buy it for the sake of continuity. But I love Spider-man and buy everything pretty much.

Now they need a Spider-Man Omnibus collecting the post Ben Reilly Stuff just before Next Chapter.
The standard cover is elite on this one in my opinion. Can’t wait to have my copy!!
Let's go!!!! Between this and the Black Costume Saga, I'm all in!

Count me in for the regular cover, it is fantastic.
So much double dipping in this omnibus with other omnibus’ (Marc Spector moon knight vol 1, new warriors vol 1, spider-man vs venom omnibus) is it worth the double dipping for some extra micheline and bagley issues?
One of my favorite runs in Amazing Spider-Man I have all the epics leading to Clone Saga but I might get this anyway cause it’s an awesome collection
I'm currently reading JMS Spider-Man Volume 1 (10 issues left) and enjoying the run so far (wish there were more classic villains)!! Do you guys recommend this run as a new-ish Spider-Man reader?
Yes. Although I always think the best Spiderman for new readers is Ultimate Spider Man by Bendis.
When it comes to collecting the graphic novels Marvel just needs to do a gallery edition of the graphic novels OHC.
Sorted.
Huh, was not expecting this to be white, when all the other omnis from the collection have black dust jackets 🧐
Not super happy with how the DM cover turned out, not a huge fan of these covers with the image contained to just a portion of the cover. At least I got it with a substantial discount 🤷♂️
I have the spiderman vs venom omnibus
I dont have the stuff before michelinie/bagley
Should I buy the michelinie/bagley omnibus?
Wow Omar you are nearing 100k
It looks so much better without dust jacket. The cover choices were not the best for this one, considering the amount of totally awesome covers Bagley did.
So much of my childhood reading in this book. Love Bagley's Venom.
I’ve read some of Michelinie’s issues collected here and thought they were subpar when compared to Roger Stern or J. M. DeMatteis. However the art is so good.
Majorly Groovy. 😎👍🏼
Just ordered this one
Feels good having the epics😌
You’re good Omar…you’ve almost convinced me to buy this!
Hey Omar! Quick question, if your omnibus collection were to all disappear except one, which one would you chose?
Will sell Wife's shoes to buy this one!
Will this come to Barnes & Noble?
Sooooo excited for it!! Cant wait!!!! Very awesome!!
Amazing Spider-Man Omnibus volume 15 or 16? I might not live that long to see it, but that might happen before the Epic vol. 16 😅.
Why oh why oh why are they holding back on epic #16?! 😢😅
We don't even get a new Amazing Spider-Man Omni every year, so we're supposed to calmly wait 15-20 years for AS 15 & 16? 😆
That looks brilliant I want one can't say no to spidernan 😮😮
PRE-ORDERED!!!!! THANKS OMAR!!!!
TBH im going to pretty upset if they don’t include all of maximum carnage in vol 2. They did that with the Larsen Omni and it’s extremely disappointing
Wish they didn’t move the release day . At least I got one pre ordered. Looking forward to this one
Love it jus wish they will cont the ASM run I think they up to like 150 issue make them do it Omar lol
The only thing I’m kind of like down about is I really don’t think Maximum Carnage will be collected all in the second volume which I’m like ugh I don’t want the Spider-Man vs Venom Omni just for that story.

Kinda want it, kinda happy just staying with the Venom vs spidey omni and skipping it...

It’s sacrilege, but the epics are SO much better for this era.
