Marvel Solo Heroes Omnibus Mapping, E-L – Hawkeye, Hercules, Ka-Zar, & more! | 14th Annual Tigereyes Most-Wanted Marvel Omnibus Poll

Once every year, thousands of Marvel collectors from around the world gather together online to watch Near Mint Condition and vote on their most-wanted omnibus titles. That time approaches – time for the Tigereyes Most Wanted Marvel Omnibus 14th Annual Secret Ballot! This post explains every Marvel Solo Hero omnibus from E to L that does NOT exist – including Echo, Elsa Bloodstone, Frankenstein, Hawkeye, Hellcat, Hercules, The Hood, Howard the Duck, Jack of Hearts, Jeff The Landshark, Ka-Zar, Kang, Killraven, & Kingpin.

As one of the organizers of the poll, I work closely with Tigereyes and a team of Mapping Minties to be sure Marvel’s entire publishing history has been mapped, with every issue fitting somewhere into an omnibus volume to fill your oversize Marvel shelf. Then, we’ll kick off the poll on Near Mint Condition on March 22, 2026.

Note that Captain America (includes Falcon), Daredevil & Elektra, Heroes For Hire (includes Iron Fist, Jessica Jones, & Luke Cage), Silver Surfer & Guardians of the Galaxy (includes Galactus), and X-Men Solo Characters (includes Emma Frost, Gambit, & Kitty Pryde) already have their own posts.

Marvel Solo Heroes: Echo Omnibus Mapping

Echo (1999 & on) 

I read every issue Echo has ever appeared in to create my Guide to Echo, so I know just what this book ought to include! It was gather her two early arcs in Daredevil (1998) by David Mack, some material from Brian Bendis’s New Avengers, and then her modern use by Jason Aaron in his Avengers (1918) and a pair of subsequent mini-series.

This would collect Daredevil (1998) #9-15 & #51-55, New Avengers (2005) #11-13, 27, 31, & 39, material from Moon Knight (2011) #2-10, Daredevil (2016) Annual 1, Marvel’s Voices: Indigenous Voices (2020) #1 (1st story), Avengers (2018) #40-45, Phoenix Song: Echo (2021) #1-5, Daredevil & Echo (2023) #1-4; Echo: Seeker of Truth (2025) #1

(Echo may not be significant enough in Captain Marvel (2019) #1-5 to merit including it here.)

Marvel Solo Heroes: Else Bloodstone Omnibus Mapping

Elsa Bloodstone (1975 & on) [includes Ulysses Bloodstone stories]

This would collect virtually all of Elsa Bloodstone’s solo appearances, as well as some amount of background about her father Ulysses Bloodstone. See my Guide to Elsa Bloodstone for more details.

It’s very tempting to turn into a catch-all volume for Nextwave (2006) and Monsters Unleashed (2017A) and (2017B), but then it would be too big to include the Ulysses Bloodstone backstory.

What would this book actually collect? It’s up to you!

This would begin by collecting Ulysses Bloodstone’s story from Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty (1998) #6 (3rd story), X-Men: Hellfire Club (2000) #2, Captain America & Namor (2012) #635.1, Strange Tales (1951) #73 (1st story), Marvel Universe (1998) #4-7 (Bloodstone stories), Marvel: Lost Generation (2000) #2, and Marvel Presents (1975) #1-2, Nova (2007) #34-35, and material Rampaging Hulk (1977) #1-6 & 8, and Captain America (1968) #357 (2nd story) but probably not all of #358-362).

Then, we switch to Elsa Bloodstone. This would begin to collect Bloodstone (2001) #1-4, Nextwave: Agents of HATE (2006) #1-12, Marvel Assistant-Sized Spectacular (2009) #2 (4th story), Astonishing Tales: Boom Boom and Elsa [Bloodstone] (2009) #1 AKA Marvel Heartbreakers (2010) #1, Girl Comics (2010) #2 (5th story), Franken-Castle (2010) #21, Legion of Monsters (2011) #1-4 Wolverine (2010) #314-317, Fearless Defenders (2013) #8-9, Avengers World (2014) #15-16, Marvel Zombies (2015) #1-4, A-Force (2016) #8-10, Elsa Bloodstone in Monsters Unleashed (2017A) #1-5 & (2017B) #1-10, Jessica Jones (2018) #2, material from Fearless (2019) #1 (“Unusual Suspects”), material from Marvel Comics (2019) #1000 (“Monsters”), Death of Doctor Strange: Bloodstone (2022) #1, material from Crypt of Shadows (2022) #1 (“Down Came the Rain”), Werewolf by Night (2023) #1, Ghost Rider (2022) Annual 1, Marvel’s Voices Infinity Comic (2022) #86, material from Blood Hunters (2024) #1-4 (C-Stories), and Blood Hunters (2024B) #1-5.

If necessary for space, this could omit Nextwave: Agents of HATE (2006) #1-12, Franken-Castle (2010) #21, Avengers World (2014) #15-16, Monsters Unleashed (2017A) #1-5 & (2017B) #1-10.

Marvel Solo Heroes: Frankenstein Omnibus Mapping

Frankenstein (1973 & on) [1973 series & other appearances]

This would primarily collect Frankenstein (1973) #1-18. It might also collect other Atlas, Silver, and Bronze Frankenstein appearances such as Uncanny X-Men (1963) #40, Silver Surfer (1968) #7, Monsters Unleashed (1973) #2, 4-9, Avengers (1963) #131-13, Legion of Monsters (1975) #1, Marvel Team-Up (1972) #37, Iron Man (1968) #102, Dracula Lives (1974) #2-3, 15, & 17.

Marvel Solo Heroes: Hawkeye Omnibus Mapping

We have just one Hawkeye omnibus with Hawkeye by Matt Fraction, but we could totally cover both Clint Barton and Kate Bishop with four additional books. See Guide to Hawkeye for full coverage of their material.

Each year we continue to tune and adjust the Hawkeye options on the poll to try to make it obvious to voters what they could collect. While we have a “no mapping ahead” rule for books with ambiguous second volumes, when it comes to Clint Barton there are three crushingly obvious chunks of content to collect – his classic Epic Collection material, his 00s return material, and his post-Fraction material.

As for Kate Bishop, she still fits into one omnibus… but maybe not for long.!

Hawkeye & The Solo Avengers (1964 – 1990) [follows Epic map, includes Solo Avengers & Avengers Spotlight]

This omnibus is effectively the contents of Hawkeye’s initial three Epic Collections, minus all of the double-dipping of issues of Avengers (1963).

That means this contains not only Hawkeye material, but forty issues of Solo Avengers (1987) #1-20 and Avengers Spotlight (1989) #21-40 – almost all of which included at least one Hawkeye story.

It could also include some other random solo Avengers adventures from Marvel Comics Presents that would otherwise be abandoned, and even mini-series like Jack of Hearts (1984).

A vote for this book is mostly a vote to collect all of Hawkeye’s solo material from the Bronze Age and 80s and all of Solo Avengers (1987) and Avengers Spotlight (1989) in oversize format.

This would collect material from Tales of Suspense (1959) #57, 60, & 64; Avengers (1963) #16; Marvel Tales (1964) #100; Marvel Super Action (1976) #1; Hawkeye (1983) #1-4; Captain America (1968) #317; Marvel Fanfare (1982) #3 & 39; Solo Avengers (1987) #1-20, Avengers Spotlight (1989) #22-40; material from Marvel Comics Presents (1988) #83; and other solo Avengers material from Marvel Fanfare (1982), Marvel Comics Presents (1988), and Marvel Super-Heroes (1990) that would not otherwise be collected in other hero or team omnibuses

It could optionally add Jack of Hearts (1984) #1-4, which fits the “Solo Avengers” focus, but that is likely to be collected in the Iron Man omnibus line.

Hawkeye: Clint Barton – The Return of Hawkeye & Mockingbird (1994 – 2011) [the book BEFORE Fraction]

This would contain Hawkeye’s material starting after Mockingbird’s death and his departure from the Avengers, through his mid-00s death, and to both of their returns and reunions, lining this up perfectly with the Hawkeye by Matt Fraction omnibus on the other side.

This would collect Hawkeye (1994) #1-4; Marvel Comics Presents (1998) #159-161 (Clint’s stories only); Hawkeye: Earth’s Mightiest Marksman (1998) #1; Hawkeye (2003) #1-8; Avengers (1998) #502; The Pulse (2004) #10; New Avengers (2004) #26 & 30; Young Avengers Presents (2008) #6 (in the Fraction omni, but occurs here); New Avengers: The Reunion (2009) #1-4; Hawkeye & Mockingbird (2010) #1-6; Widowmaker (2010) #1-4; Hawkeye: Blindspot (2011) #1-4; his appearance in Avengers: Solo (2011) #1-5 (A-Stories), Captain America & Hawkeye (2012) #629-632; Hawkeye & Mockingbird Sketchbook (2010) #1; and material from Dark Reign: New Nation (2008) #1 and Enter the Heroic Age (2010) #1.

Hawkeye: Kate Bishop (2005 – 2018) [includes Lemire & Thompson, West Coast]

It doesn’t make sense to begin this with any material from Young Avengers or Hawkeye (2011), since Kate is in almost every issue and they’ve all been collected in omnibus before. However, we left the dates wide so you can assume it would collect some of her key stories, if you want.

This would collect three mini-series that starred both Hawkeyes (Hawkeye vs. Deadpool (2014) #0-4, All-New Hawkeye (2015A) #1-5, & All-New Hawkeye (2015B) #1-6), then continue to Kate Bishop’s adventures in Hawkeye (2016) #1-16, Generations: Hawkeye & Hawkeye (2017) #1, West Coast Avengers (2018) #1-10, and Hawkeye: Kate Bishop (2021) #1-5.

Hawkeye: Clint Barton – All-New, All-Different (2015 & on) [follows Fraction; Lemire, Occupy Avengers, etc]

This would pick up the short-lived Hawkeye vehicle Occupy Avengers (2016) #1-8, as well as all of Clint Barton’s solo material following the Hawkeye by Matt Fraction omnibus.

A vote for this book is a vote for all of Hawkeye from 2015 to present day in a single oversize volume, which helps to plug a minor gap of Avengers that just doesn’t fit anywhere else!

This would collect Hawkeye vs. Deadpool (2014) #0-4, All-New Hawkeye (2015A) #1-5, All-New Hawkeye (2015B) #1-6, Occupy Avengers (2016) #1-8, Hawkeye (2016) #13-16 (which is Kate’s title, but Clint co-stars in this arc), Generations: Hawkeye & Hawkeye (2017) #1, Tales of Suspense (2017) #100-104 (a Client + Bucky team-up), Hawkeye: Freefall (2020) #1-5, Thunderbolts (2022) #1-5, Avengers (2018) #60, Black Widow & Hawkeye (2024) #1-4

Marvel Solo Heroes: Hellcat Omnibus Mapping

Want to know everything there is to know about Hellcat’s comic book history? Check out my Guide to Hellcat!

Patsy Walker Vol. 1 (1945 & on) [includes Patsy & Hedy]

Before Patsy Walker was the super-powered Hellcat, she was just a girl in Marvel’s Golden Age! Patsy Walker anchored a pair of incredibly long-running series about her life as a teenager entangled in teen romance. If you’re familiar with classic Archie Comics, these comics were in a similar style.

The vast majority of these comics have never been collected in any form and would take some serious restoration to bring to market. Unfortunately, we briefly had a MCU Patsy Walker in Jessica Jones and then we lost her, so our chance to capitalize on multimedia popularity to make these books a reality has been lost.

We’d need so many omnibuses to get this done, and I think the only way Marvel would even consider it for a moment is if Omar could show the folks at Marvel that this cracked even the Top 100 of the poll!

This would begin to collect Patsy Walker (1944) #1-124, Patsy and Hedy (1952) #1-110 & Annual 1, Patsy and her Pals (1953) #1-29, and A Date With Patsy (1957) #1

Hellcat – Patsy Walker Vol. 1 (1975 & on)

Hellcat is an unusual superhero. She was basically a civillian drafted into heroic life in the midst of an adventure, she tends to offer a grounded, wry perspective on heroics even when she’s in the midst of a major adventure. However, that has also made her vulnerable to some writers using her as a prop for their leading men.

I think an “Early Years” omnibus would likely follow Hellcat through 2010. After that she is a consistent supporting character in She-Hulk and then in Iron Man, to the point that we’d be heavily double-dipping single omnibuses in order to excerpt her story here.

This would begin to collect Avengers (1963) #144 & 147-149, Defenders (1972) #44-45, 61, 65, 85-87, 94-101, 111, 116, 122, 125, & 148 (and material from #89-91 & 107-109), West Coast Avengers (1985) #14-16, Solo Avengers (1987) #9 (2nd story), Marvel Super-Heroes (1990) #1 (3rd story), Marvel Fanfare (1982) #59 (2nd story), Hellstorm: Prince of Lies (1993) #3, Thunderbolts (1997) Annual 2000 (1st story) & Avengers (1998) Annual 2000 (1st story), Hellcat (2000) #1-3, Marvel Comics Presents (2007) #1-4, Patsy Walker: Hellcat (2008) #1-5, Models Inc. (2009) #1-4, Marvel Divas (2009) #1-4, Marvel Holiday Special (1991) 2010, and Heralds (2010) #1-5.

Marvel Solo Heroes: Hercules Omnibus Mapping

Hercules is a demi-god amongst men in the Marvel Universe. Originally introduced as a mirthful foil to Thor, over time Hercules has developed into his own complex character – one who sees himself as much as part of the world of men as he is the world of Olympus. See my Guide to Hercules for explanations of all of the material below.

Hercules: Prince of Power by Bob Layton (1982 – 2010) [AKA Hercules of the 24th Century]

Bob Layton took the familiar, smiling Avenger and threw him into the far-reaching future, recasting Hercules as an intergalactic hero of the galaxy. This exists in a separate continuity from modern day Hercules.

This would collect Hercules[: Prince of Power] (1982) #1-4, Hercules: Prince of Power (1984) #1-4, material from Marvel Tales (1966) #197, Marvel Graphic Novel (1982) #37 – Hercules, Prince of Power: Full Circle, stories from Marvel Comics Presents (1988) #39-41, and material from Marvel Age (1983) #4 & 65. Plus, a much-later sequel, Hercules: Twilight of a God (2010) #1-4

Hercules: The Early Years (1965 & on) [Silver & Bronze Age]

Of course, this would start with Journey Into Mystery (1952) Annual 1 & #124-125 and Thor (1966) #126 & 128-130! It would also likely collect most of Hercules’s period of moving in with and initially joining the Avengers in Avengers (1963) #38-44, Annual 1 & 45-50, an Olympus-focused story in Avengers (1963) #99-100, and some of the highlights of his time as Thor’s partner (and roommate) in Thor (1966) #221-239.

From there Hercules is in The Champions, who should merit their own omnibus at some point. That would make this one of the slimmer “Early Years” omnibuses, but a satisfying one. However, it could also optionally press forward to the 90s, since the 80s material by Layton exclusively focused on a future continuity for Hercules.

Hercules: The Incredible Hercules by Greg Pak et al (2005 & on) [Vol. 1 of 2?]

This would very likely be two volumes, but your vote doesn’t have to agree with that

A single all-inclusive volume would likely have to skip all of the tie-ins to Chaos War. Since that’s not highly like to score an event omnibus of its own, I like the idea of simply incorporating it here

This would begin to collect Hercules (2005) #1-5, material from Incredible Hulk (2000) #106-112, Hulk vs. Hercules: When Titans Collide (2008) #1, Incredible Hercules (2008) #113-141, Assault on New Olympus Prologue (2009) #1 (before #138), Hercules: Fall of an Avenger (2010) #1-2, Heroic Age: The New Prince of Power (2010) #1-4, his appearances in Chaos War (Chaos War (2010) #1-5, Chaos War: Chaos King (2011) #1, Chaos War: God Squad (2011) #1, Chaos War: Ares (2011) #1), Wolverine/Hercules: Myths, Monsters & Mutants (2011) #1-4, Herc (2011) #1-10 & 6.1, Hercules (2015) #1-6, Civil War II: Gods of War (2016) #1-4, plus material from Giant-Size Hulk (2006) #1, Amazing Fantasy (2004) #15, and Incredible Hulk (2000) #100 & 620-622.

Marvel Solo Heroes: The Hood Omnibus Mapping

Hood – Parker Robbins, The Complete Saga (2002 & on)

This would collect The Hood (2002) #1-6, Beyond! (2006) #1-6, Dark Reign: The Cabal (2009) #1, Dark Reign: The Hood (2009) #1-5, New Avengers (2004) #55-60, material from Original Sins (2014) #1-5 (Hood story), Illuminati (2015) #1-7, and other major arcs.

Marvel Solo Heroes: Howard the Duck Omnibus Mapping

See my Guide to Howard the Duck for a painstakingly researched guide to every comic, appearance, and cartoon strip of this duck detective!

Howard the Duck Vol. 2 (1979 & on) [adds skipped Complete Collection material]

The original Howard the Duck Omnibus was essentially a “Complete Series” omnibus only focused on collecting Howard’s origins and then his original run of Howard the Duck (1976) #1-33 & Annual 1. His later Complete Collection trade paperbacks represented a much fuller set of material.

Generally, Marvel will only expand an existing omnibus if they can really expand it – as they did with adding two hardcovers to the Captain Britain Omnibus or doubling the size of Immortal Iron Fist & the Immortal Weapons by adding half a series they originally skipped.

There’s not really enough Howard material added by the Complete Collections to justify that, so instead this is likely just a second volume that will also collect his modern material through his Howard the Duck by Zdarsky & Quinones Omnibus that begins in 2015.

This would collect strips from Crazy Magazine (1973) #26, 28, 50, 51, 53-54, 59, 63, 65-66, 68, 69, 71-72, 74-75, & 77; material from FOOM (1973) #15; material from Howard the Duck Magazine (1979) #1-9; Marvel Team-Up (1972) #96; Bizarre Adventures [Magazine] (1981) #34 (2nd story); material from What The–?! (1988) #5; Marvel Tales (1966) #237 (2nd story); and Sensational She-Hulk (1989) #14-17.

That brings us to the end of the Complete Collections material. Then, we would continue with 1990s material with a pin-up from Marvel Illustrated: The Swimsuit Issue (1991) #1 [summer 1991]; material from  What If…? (1989) #34; Ghost Rider (1990) #81-82; material from Generation X (1994) #20-21, & 23; Howard the Duck Holiday Special (1997) #1; Spider-Man Team-Up (1997) #5 (2nd story); Generation X (1994) #25: Daydreamers (1997) #1-3; Man-Thing (1997) #6 (and material from #5 & 7; Stan Lee Presents Spider-Man Cybercomic (1997) #57-60.

Finally, we reach 2000s material. That includes Howard the Duck (2002) #1-6; Civil War: Choosing Sides (2006) #1 (5th story); Howard the Duck (2007) #1-4; Amazing Spider-Man: Back In Quack (2010) #1; Marvel Zombies 5 (2010) #1-5; Fear Itself: Fearsome Four (2011) #1-4; Marvel Zombies Destroy! (2011) #1-5, an excerpt from Web of Spider-Man (1985) #129.2; and Original Sins (2014) #2 (3rd story).

It would possibly add Howard the Human (2015) #1 and Deadpool the Duck (2017) #1-5, omitted by his modern creator-focused omnibus.

Marvel Solo Heroes: Jack of Hearts Omnibus Mapping

Jack of Hearts (1976 – 2011)

Y’all, last year I tried to kill this poll option for being too small and doing too much double-dipping, but BrandXK brought it back to life with the promise that it would collect all of Cosmic Powers (1994).

It garnered a surprising amount of votes, so… here we are. Vote for this Jack of Hearts omnibus, if you dare.

This would collect material from Deadly Hands of Kung-Fu (1974) #22-24, 26 & 29-32; Incredible Hulk (1968) #213-214; Iron Man (1968) #103 & 109-113; Marvel Premiere (1972) #44; Marvel Two-In-One (1974) #48; Marvel Team-Up (1972) #134; Jack of Hearts (1984) #1-4; Quasar (1989) #19-20; Silver Surfer (1987) #76-78 & material from Annual 6; Cosmic Powers (1994) #1-6; Cosmic Powers Unlimited (1995) #3; Avengers (1998) #35, 43, 61-62, 65-69, & 73-76; Marvel Zombies Supreme (2011) #1-5.

Marvel Solo Heroes: It’s Jeff The Landshark Omnibus Mapping

Jeff The Landshark! by Kelly Thompson & Gurihiru (2018 & on) [collects digital & print Jeff appearances]

You didn’t think we’d forget this little guy (who is actually a major star), did you?

This would collect material from West Coast Avengers (2018) (especially #7), material from Deadpool (2019) (especially #1 & 4), a page from Marvel Comics (2019) #1000, It’s Jeff Infinity Comic (2021) #1-49, a story from Extreme Venomverse (2023) #5, Jeff Week Infinity Comic (2024) #1-5, Infinity Paws Infinity Comic (2024) #1-10, Venom War: It’s Jeff (2024) #1, Jeff Week Infinity Comic (2025) #1-5, Jeff the Land Shark (2025) #1-5, It’s Jeff Halloween Infinity Comic (2025) #1-5, and material from print collections of digital issues It’s Jeff (2023) #1, It’s Jeff: The Jeff-Verse (2023) #1, It’s Jeff: Infinity Paws (2025) 31, It’s Jeff: Jeff Week (2025) #1, It’s Jeff & Other Marvel Tails (2025) #1, and other Jeff material.

Marvel Solo Heroes: Ka-Zar Omnibus Mapping

Ka-Zar, The Silver Age Omnibus (1965 – 1982) [fits before Ka-Zar the Savage]

This would primarily collect X-Men (1963) #10, Daredevil (1964) #12, 14, 16, & 24, Amazing Spider-Man (1963) #57 (all omitted from his MMW line), Marvel Super Heroes (1967) #19, Astonishing Tales (1970) #1-20 (Ka-Zar stories), material from Savage Tales (1971) #1, Ka-Zar (1974) #1-20, Shanna the She-Devil (1972) #1-5, Daredevil (1964) #110-112 (and material from #109), Marvel Two-In-One (1974) #3, material from Savage Tales (1971) #5-11, Uncanny X-Men (1963) #115-116, material from Rampaging Hulk #9, Marvel Fanfare (1982) #1-4, and the Steve Gerber Shanna story from Marvel Fanfare (1982) #56-59 (which fits here in continuity).

To that, it could add a handful of other Silver and Bronze Age guest appearances prior to Ka-Zar the Savage (1981).

Ka-Zar: The Modern Years (1985 & on) [follows Ka-Zar the Savage]

This would collect Ka-Zar’s major guest appearances after the end of his 1981 series (such as Uncanny X-Men (1963) #274), followed by Ka-Zar (1997) #1-14, -1, & Annual 1997, a handful of 00s appearances, Marvel Comics Presents (2007) #5-7 (2nd stories) Skaar: King of the Savage Land (2011) #1-5, Ka-Zar (2011) #1-5, a handful of 10s appearances, and Ka-Zar Lord of the Savage Land (2021) #1-5.

Marvel Solo Heroes: Kang Omnibus Mapping

Kang The Conqueror Vol. 1 (1963 & on) [AKA “Time on My Side”]

See my Guide to Kang for a detailed examination of every Kang appearance, ever. Yes, that’s intense as it sounds.

At minimum, I think this collects Fantastic Four (1961) #19 & Annual 2, Avengers (1963) #8, 23-24, 69-71, 129, Giant-Size Avengers (1974) #2, Avengers (1963) #131-132, Giant-Size Avengers (1974) #3-4, Avengers (1963) #143 & 267-269, the Citizen Kang annuals crossover (Captain America (1968) Annual 11, Thor (1966) Annual 17, Fantastic Four (1961) Annual 25, Avengers (1963) Annual 21), and Avengers: The Terminatrix Objective (1993) #1-4.

However, before Citizen Kang I think it would also need to include at least sub-plot pages from Avengers (1963) #291-297 & 300 and Fantastic Four (1961) #323-325 & 337-341. Kang doesn’t appear in all of those issues, but they include plots that culminate in Citizen Kang and Terminatrix Objective.

Kang next pops up in Avengers Forever (1998) #1-12 and during his signature arc later in Avengers (1998), so I think this is a good stopping point for this book – although, given Kang’s time-traveling, you could argue to include later material that happens earlier for Kang!

Eventually, we’d want to make it to Kang the Conqueror (2021) #1-5, although I strongly suspect that Timeless (2021) #1 and Timeless (2022) #1 will be in an eventual Avengers by Jed MacKay omnibus, since they set up that run.

Marvel Solo Heroes: Ka-Zar Omnibus Mapping

Killraven (1973 – 2003)

This would collect Amazing Adventures (1970) #18-39, Marvel Graphic Novel (1982) #7 – Killraven: Warrior of Worlds, and Marvel Team-Up (1972) #45. To differentiate it from past collections, it would add Killraven (2002) #1-6 – though that story is in a different continuity than the other material.

Marvel Solo Heroes: Kingpin Omnibus Mapping

Kingpin: Wilson Fisk (1967 & on)

This could begin to collect Kingpin material that would include a minimum of Amazing Spider-Man (1963) #50-52, 59-61, 68-70, 83-85, 163-164; Daredevil (1964) #170-172, 206, 227-233; Marvel Graphic Novel (1981) #24 – Love and War; Web of Spider-Man (1985) #30; The Punisher (1987) #15-18; Kingpin (1997) #1; Spider-Man: Made Men (1998) #1; Kingpin (2003) #1-7; and Kingpin (2017) #1-5
