Every Missing 20th Century Fox Omnibus Mapped, 2025 Edition

It’s the most wonderful time of the year for Marvel Omnibus fans – time for the Tigereyes Most Wanted Marvel Omnibus 13th Annual Secret Ballot! This post explains every 20th Century FOX omnibus that does NOT exist – all of which will appear as options on the 2025 poll.

I’ll be covering Marvel’s entire publishing history by mapping missing omnibus volumes to fill in every gap in your Marvel oversize shelf! That’s all leading to the kickoff of the Tigereyes Most Wanted Marvel Omnibus 13th Annual Secret Ballot on Near Mint Condition on April 28, 2025.

Marvel has already taken advantage of their ability to reprint classic FOX properties like Alien, Predator, and Planet of the Apes. But, there are so many more comics that they potentially have the ability to reprint in the wake of Disney’s 2019 acquisition of 20th Century Fox.

Not only are there more comics from all three of those franchises that Marvel might now be able to print, but also popular comics from Buffy the Vampire Slayer (& Angel), The Simpsons, and The X-Files!

Plus, while Indiana Jones is actually a LucasFilm property, we’ve included it here as well.

If you’re not sure of what to vote for, stick around for a list of books vetted by a gang of the biggest mapping nerds on the internet with explanations from yours truly – keeper of the most-definitive guides to Marvel’s collected editions on the planet.

Or, if you don’t care about omnibuses, just use this post to learn about Marvel’s history and find some great comics to read!

Your vote on the poll is a vote in favor of Marvel creating a book with that title or covering that period, NOT an endorsement of a specific map. Maps are presented as a proof of concept and to help you build your personal reading list.

Marvel 20th Century Fox Omnibus Mapping: Alien vs Predator Omnibus

Marvel has already entirely collected all of the classic Dark Horse Alien and Predator comics. See my Guide to Alien comics, or just bully me until I finally make a Guide to Predator (eventually).

While there might be enough modern Alien comics to scrounge together an omnibus, it still feels like a line that hasn’t entirely taken a shape so we haven’t rushed to map anything. Same for the current run of “Predator vs.” books mashing up Predator with Marvel heroes.

However, there are three more omnibuses of classic Aliens versus Predator content to collect!

Alien vs. Predator: The Original Years Vol. 1 (1990 & on)

This would begin to collect Aliens vs. Predator (1990) #0-4, Aliens vs. Predator Annual (1999) #1, Aliens vs. Predator: Duel (1995) #1-2, Aliens vs. Predator: Eternal (1998) #1-4, Aliens vs. Predator: War (1995) #0-4, Aliens vs. Predator: Booty (1996) #1, Aliens vs. Predator: Xenogenesis (1999) #1-4, Aliens/Predator: The Deadliest of the Species (1993) #1-12, and material from Dark Horse Comics (1992) #25, Dark Horse Insider (1992) #1-14, Dark Horse Presents (1986) #34-36 & 146-147, and Previews (1988) #77-88

Alien vs. Predator vs. DC (1997 – 2007)

Collects Aliens material (Aliens: Batman/Aliens (1997) #1-2, WildC.A.T.s/Aliens (1998) #1, Batman/Aliens II (2002) #1-3, Green Lantern vs. Aliens (2000) #1-4, Superman vs. Aliens (1995) #1-3, Superman/Aliens 2: God War (2002) #1-4), Predator material (Predator: Batman Versus Predator (1991) #1-3, Batman Versus Predator II (1994) #1-4, Batman Versus Predator III (1997) #1-4, and Superman vs. Predator (2000) #1-3), and AvP material (Aliens vs. Predator: Superman and Batman versus Aliens and Predator (2007) #1-2)

Alien vs. Predator: Fire & Stone and Life & Death (2014 – 2017)

This would combine the contents of “Prometheus: The Complete Fire and Stone” and the entire “Life & Death” saga. It would include Alien vs. Predator: Fire and Stone (2014) #1-4, Aliens: Fire and Stone (2014) #1-4, Dark Horse Presents (2014) #2, Predator: Fire and Stone (2014) #1-4, Prometheus: Fire and Stone (2014) #1-4, Prometheus: Fire and Stone – Omega (2015) One-Shot, Alien Vs. Predator: Life and Death (2016) #1-4, Aliens: Life And Death (2016) #1-4, Predator: Life And Death (2016) #1-4, Prometheus: Life and Death (2016) #1-4, and Prometheus: Life and Death Final Conflict (2017) One-Shot

Marvel 20th Century Fox Omnibus Mapping: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Omnibus

Buffy at Marvel? Didn’t know – Buffy is a Disney Princess now. Well, I suppose Buffy is more like a dashing knight. And Willow is (Dark) Phoenix. You know what? Anya can be a Disney Princess. As long as there aren’t any bunnies.

Jokes aside, every indication points to Marvel’s ability to print Buffy material previously published by Dark Horse if Disney decided it wanted Marvel to handle the reprintings. And, while we’ve seen Disney farm out various IP to other publishers, we’ve seen them turn to Marvel for book market recollections of FOX properties previously published by Dark House like Aliens & Predator.

Does this mean we should’ve also added Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse and Firefly to this list? Dollhouse only had five issues, and the Firefly license was very recently active at BOOM! Studios – the final collected edition hasn’t even been out for six months.

Speaking of comic guides I should be bullied into finishing… I could probably write this one in my sleep! But, if I could make guides in my sleep, we’d have an extra five guides a week… and maybe I’d sleep more.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer: The Classic Years Vol. 1 (1998 & on) [non-canon Dark Horse comics]

This would begin to collect the original Dark Horse comics that ostensibly added additional adventures between episodes of the show, but have never been treated as official canon.

This would likely begin with Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Origin (1999) #1-3 (an adaptation of the original film script) and then begin to collect Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1998) #1-63, “Stinger” (AKA #½), & Annual 1998-1999, Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Dust Waltz (1998) OGN, Buffy the Vampire Slayer / Angel #1 (1999) #1-3 & ½, Angel (1999) #1-17, Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Spike and Dru (1999) #1-3, Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Ring of Fire (2000) OGN, Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Giles (2000) #1, Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Lover’s Walk (2001) #1, Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Willow and Tara (2001) #1, Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Haunted (2001) #1-4, Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Oz (2001) #1-3, Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Jonathan (2001) #1, Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Willow and Tara – Wilderness (2002) #1-2, Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Reunion (2002) #1, Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Lost and Found (2002) #1, Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds (2003) #1, and maybe Fray (2001) #1-8, and material from Dark Horse Presents #141-143, 150, & Annual 1998 & 2000, Dark Horse Extra #11-15 & 47-50, Reveal (2002) #1, and additional Angel material (from Dark Horse Presents #153-155 and Dark Horse Extra #25-28).

Realistically, the Angel material might make its own omnibus, either on its own or combined with subsequent IDW material from Angel: The Curse (2005) #1-5, Angel: Old Friends (2005) #1-5, Angel Spotlight (2006) One-Shots (Illyria, Gunn, Wesley, & Doyle), Angel: Smile Time (2008) #1-3, Angel: A Hole in the World (2009) #1-5, Angel: Only Human (2009) #1-5, Angel: Barbary Coast #1-3 (2010), Angel: Not Fade Away (2009) #1-3.

And, there’s the question as to whether Marvel would collect this in publishing order (more like the Aliens omnibuses) or story order (more like the Star Wars Legends omnibuses).

Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Buffy Season 8 (2007 & on)

This would likely collect all of Season 8 from Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 8 (2007) #1-40, Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 8 – Willow (2008) #1, Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 8 – Riley (2010) #1, and material from MySpace Dark Horse Presents Vol. 3-5.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Angel Season 6 (2007 & on) [AKA After the Fall, includes Spike]

This would begin to collect Angel (2007) #1-44 & Yearbook #1/2011 and Spike: After the Fall (2008) #1-4

Marvel 20th Century Fox Omnibus Mapping: Indiana Jones Omnibus

Marvel first held the Indiana Jones license in the 80s, during which time they adapted all three original films and told the continuing stories of Indiana in a 1983 ongoing series. Then, Dark Horse held the license starting from 1991, producing both additional “present day” stories for Indiana (still in our past) as well as a 12-issue The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles (1992).

Indiana Jones: The Original Marvel Years (1983 – 1989)

This would collect Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) #1-3, The Further Adventures of Indiana Jones (1983) #1-34, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) #1-3 Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) #1-4, and material from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade Magazine (1989) #1.

Indiana Jones: The Dark Horse Years Vol. 1 (1991 & on) [includes Young Indiana]

This would begin to collect Dark Horses’s Indiana Jones comics: The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles (1992) #1-12, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (1991) #1-4, Indiana Jones: Thunder in the Orient Vol. 1 (1993) #1-6, Indiana Jones and the Golden Fleece (1994) #1-2, Indiana Jones and the Arms of Gold (1994) #1-4, Indiana Jones and the Iron Phoenix (1994) #1-4, Indiana Jones and the Sargasso Pirates (1995)#1-4, Indiana Jones and the Shrine of the Sea Devil (1994) #1, Indiana Jones and the Spear of Destiny (1995) #1-4, Indiana Jones Adventures (2008) #1-2, and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008) #1-2, Indiana Jones and the Tomb of the Gods (2008) #1-4

Marvel 20th Century Fox Omnibus Mapping: Planet of the Apes Omnibus

I famously know NOTHING about Planet of the Apes, so guru of all Near Mint Condition knowledge James stepped in with these maps!

Planet of the Apes Magazine (1974 – 1977)

This would collect full magazine issues from Planet of the Apes (1974) #1-39

Planet of the Apes: The Adventure Publications Comics (1990 & on)

This would collect Planet of the Apes (1990) #1-24, Planet of the Apes: Urchak’s Folly (1991) #1-4, Terror on the Planet of the Apes (1991) #1-4, Planet of the Apes: Blood of the Apes (1991) #1-4, Planet of the Apes: Sins of the Father (1992) #1, Planet of the Apes: The Forbidden Zone (1992) #1-4.

Planet of the Apes: The Film Tie-Ins / Prequels (2001 & on) [includes Dark Horse]

This would begin to collect The Human War #1-3 (2001), Planet of the Apes #1-6 (2001-2002), Rise of the Planet of the Apes Webcomic #1-6, Betrayal of the Planet of the Apes #1-4, Exile on the Planet of the Apes #1-4, Planet of the Apes Cataclysm #1-12, Planet of the Apes: Ursus #1-6, Before the Dawn Webcomic, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes: Contagion, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes #1-6, War for the Planet of the Apes #1-4, Planet of the Apes: Visionaries (OGN)

Planet of the Apes: The BOOM Comics (2011 & on)

This would begin to collect Planet of the Apes: The Long War #1-4, Planet of the Apes: The Devil’s Pawn #1-4, Planet of the Apes: Children of Fire #1-4, Planet of the Apes: The Half Man #1-4, Planet of the Apes Annual (2012), Planet of the Apes Special (2013), Planet of the Apes Spectacular (2013), Planet of the Apes Giant (2013), Planet of the Apes: The Time of Man #1, Planet of the Apes: The Simian Age #1

Planet of the Apes: Apes vs… The Intercompany Crossovers (2014 – 2018) [Star Trek. Tarzan, Green Lantern, Kong]

This would collect Star Trek/Planet of the Apes: The Primate Directive #1-5, Tarzan on the Planet of the Apes #1-5, Planet of the Apes/Green Lantern #1-6, Kong on the Planet of the Apes #1-6

Marvel 20th Century Fox Omnibus Mapping: Simpsons Omnibus

If there was ONE PROPERTY we heard voters CLAMORING for us to include last year when we began to tentatively add some licensed books to the poll, it was The Simpsons. While all of these issues were produced by Bongo comics and some “Treehouse of Horror” collections have been recently reprinted, it appears Marvel could have the go-ahead to collect these with the blessing of The Mouse.

Simpsons: The Bongo Comics Vol. 1 (1993 & on)

This would begin to collect Simpsons (1993) #1-245 and associated one-shots

Marvel 20th Century Fox Omnibus Mapping: X-Files Omnibus

I thought we were being punked when folks proposed we include X-Files comics in the responses to last year’s poll, because Marvel never published any X-Files comics! But, I was reminded by our merry mapping Minties that X-Files is a FOX property, which means these comics could in fact be fair game for recollection.

X-Files: The Topps Comics Years (1995 & on)

IDW recollected almost all of this Topps material within the past 15 years, so it’s entirely plausible that Marvel could do the same.

This would begin to collect The X-Files (1995) #1-41 & ½, Special Edition (1995), & Ashcan Edition, The X-Files Digest (1995) #1-3, The X Files Afterflight (OGN), The X-Files Season 1 adaptations (Pilot, Deep Throat, Conduit, Squeeze, Shadows, Ice, Space, Fire, & Beyond the Sea), The X-Files: Ground Zero (1997) #1-4, The X-Files: Fight the Future (1998) #1, and material from X-Files / Hero Illustrated Special (1995) #1 and The X-Files Magazine (1996) #1-2.

X-Files: The IDW Years (2013 & on) [AKA Season 10 & 11]

This would begin to collect The X-Files Season 10 (2013) #1-25, The X-Files Year Zero (2014) #1-5, The X-Files Season 11 (2015) #1-8, The X-Files: Origins (2016) #1-4, The X-Files Annual 2014 & 2015, The X-Files X-Mas Special 2014-2016, Millennium (2015) #1-5 (a crossover with their TV spinoff), The X-Files: Deviations (2016) #1 & (2017) #1, The X-Files: Origins – Dog Days of Summer (2017) #1-4, The X-Files (2016) #1-17, The X-Files: JFK Disclosure (2017) #1-2, The X-Files: Case Files – Florida Man (2018) #1-2, The X-Files: Case Files – Hoot Goes There? (2018) #1-2, and material from The X-Files: Trust No One (2015) OGN

It probably could not collect a series of “Conspiracy” inter-company stories from The X-Files: Conspiracy (2014) #1-2, The X-Files: Conspiracy – The Crow (2014) #1, The X-Files: Conspiracy – Ghostbusters (2014) #1, The X-Files / Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Conspiracy (2014) #1, The X-Files: Conspiracy – The Transformers (2014) #1. It may not be able to collect X-files: Funko Universe (2017) #1.
