    Is there a similar poll for reprints? (and corresponding speculation of how it affects reality?) I just started collecting omnibuses and there’s so much I feel I’ve missed over the years…

    I never knew this poll existed and it’s fabulous! Especially if Marvel is tuned in.

    Pasquale, there has been some talk of a reprint poll – perhaps its time to run one! However, the science of what Marvel has been reprinting is pretty interesting. It probably merits its own post. I’m sure it’s frustrated as someone who just started collecting to feel like there are so many unattainable books – I felt that way with just a few years of omnibuses missed.

    This poll was conducted on the Marvel Masterworks boards, where several members of the Collection Department read and post. While I don’t think a high rank on a poll of under 200 people leads to instantly printed books, I’d definitely say it has acted as a focus group in recent years if you check out the list of books that have been printed,

    Hopefully a Morbius the Living Vampire Omnibus will get some traction in the future! Perfect Halloween release!

    Collects Amazing Spider-Man #101-102 (first appearance), Marvel Team-Up #3-4,Adventure Into Fear #20-31 (1st solo series),Spectacular Spider-Man #7-8,Spectacular Spider-Man #38 and Morbius: The Living Vampire #1-32.

    That would be awesome!
