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 Spider-Man Family & Spider-Verse omnibus map for material that has not yet been collected comprehensively in omnibus – all of which will appear as options on the 2026 poll.
What do I mean by “Spider-Verse”? Every Spider-Hero other than Spidey himself, whether that’s from our own reality or the multiverse! Plus, several of his foes… who are sometimes anti-heroes in their own right.
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.
We’re receiving just one omnibus of the extended Spider-Man Family of Spider-Verse characters in 2026, but it’s a good one: Spider-Woman, a massive omnibus of Jessica Drew’s Bronze Age material!
But, there’s so many more characters to cover! The Spider-Verse of friends and foes of Peter Parker has very few omnibuses to represent it. Basically, Miles Morales and Spider-Gwen are the only other heroes to score books of theirbook! But, there’s also plenty of material from the many Spider-Women (including Jessica Drew, Julia Carpenter, Mattie Franklin, & Silk), multi-verse Spiders (including Spider-Ham, Spider-Girl, & Spider-Man Noir), plus allies (like Slingers, Arana, & Spider-Boy) and villains (like Doc Ock, Green Goblin, & Kraven).
Read this post and others in the series for a list of titles and omnibus mappings created by a group of the biggest collected edition enthusiasts on the internet. Every map is informed by Crushing Krisis comic guides and over a decade of polling data as explained by yours truly – keeper of the most-definitive guides to Marvel’s collected editions on the planet.

Spider-Man Family & Spider-Verse Omnibus Mapping: Miles Morales Omnibus Maps
Marvel has always gone hard on collecting Miles Morales in omnibus, with Miles Morales: Ultimate Spider-Man Omnibus collecting his time in the Ultimate Universe, Spider-Man: Miles Morales Omnibus capturing his transition to Marvel-616, and Miles Morales: Spider-Man by Saladin Ahmed Omnibus including his first run written by someone other than Brian Bendis. See Guide to Spider-Man – Miles Morales for all the details!
That means we only need one more Miles book – for the Miles Morales: Spider-Man (2022) run that directly follows the Saladin Ahmed book.
Spider-Man: Miles Morales by Cody Ziglar (2024 & on)
Cody Ziglar took the reigns of Miles Morales in a Spider-Man line shake-up in 2022, fresh off of being one of the writers behind the rotation penning Ben Reilly as part of the “BEYOND” final third of the run of Spider-Man (2018).
Within just a few issues, I felt like Ziglar really understood Miles and his voice. Brian Bendis had leaned hard into making him a relatable kid, and Saladin Ahmed pushed to give him his own big stories and supporting cast. Both of those runs are worth reading. But, to me, Cody Ziglar’s run is the first time Miles felt and sounded like Miles – a unique character in the Marvel Universe with a specific personality, much like in the Spider-Verse films.
The other impressive thing about Cody Ziglar’s run on Miles is that Ziglar can really roll with the punches of the Marvel Universe. No matter the big event or forced status quo change, Ziglar found a way to lean in use it to enhance Miles’s story. We’ve seen other writers navigate that well in the past, and it’s no mistake that the best of them – including Kieron Gillen & Jed MacKay – became superstars in their own right.
Ziglar actually uses one big status quo change from Blood Hunt (2024) to fuel a whole year of plots!
Towards the end of this series I feel like it loses the thread a little, as Ziglar is writing Miles in two different places – this ongoing as well as in a trip to the Ultimate Universe. As a result, the final 10 or so issues feel a little less specific (and also struggle a bit on artwork). But, it’s never bad, just not to my tastes.
The question about this book is if Ziglar is really done with Miles. It feels like he is a once-in-a-generation perfect fit for the character, but he’s also five years into his run and that tends to be the extend of how long Marvel lets anyone pilot a single character. Right now he’s writing a second run of online-only Infinity Comics for Miles, which feels like an experiment to see if all of Miles’s more youthful readers will simply migrate to reading him digitally. Also, with the new Ultimate Universe coming to a close, it feels like Miles’s new status quo will somehow be linked to however that resolves, so Marvel is biding their time on launching a new print series for him.
Could Ziglar bounce back from the digital realm for more in-print Miles? Possibly! But, if that’s the case and it’s any longer than even five issues, I think we’d be looking to launch a Volume 2 of this already-large omnibus. Even if Ziglar’s run ended there, this book is already pretty huge, and we might simply split all of the mini-series and digital books into that Volume 2.
A vote for this book is a vote to continue Marvel’s complete omnibus coverage of Miles Morales with a collection of what might be his best run yet.
This would collect Miles Morales: Spider-Man (2022) #1-42 & Annual 1/2024, Deadpool (2024) #11-12, Ultimate Spider-Man: Incursion (2025) #1-5, Astonishing Miles Morales: Spider-Man Infinity Comic (2025) #1-12, Miles Morales: Spider-Man – Brooklyn’s Finest Infinity Comic (2026) #1-10, and material from Web of Spider-Man (2024) #1 and Blood Hunt (2024) #1-5.
It is possible it could also collect some or all of the following: “Carnage Reigns” crossover material (Carnage Reigns (2023) Alpha & Omega, Carnage (2022) #13-14, and Red Goblin (2023) #5) and a trio of Strange Academy one shots which include Miles throughout (Strange Academy: Miles Morales (2023) #1, Moon Knight (2023) #1, and Amazing Spider-Man (2023) #1).
Spider-Man Family & Spider-Verse Omnibus Mapping: Spider-Woman Omnibus Maps
Marvel has had many different women hold the “Spider-Woman” title, and we’ve got omnibuses for all of them on the poll. Marvel has previously focused their omni coverage exclusively on Spider-Gwen, but later this year we have a new entrant onto the shelf with a classic Jessica Drew Spider-Woman Omnibus! See Guide to Spider-Woman, Guide to Spider-Gwen, and Guide to Silk for details.
That still leaves us with plenty of other Spider-Women to cover, including more from both Spider-Gwen and Jessica Drew, plus Julia Carpenter, Mattie Franklin, and Silk!
Spider-Woman: Jessica Drew, Modern Years Vol. 1 (2009 & on) [begins to collect Bendis, Hopeless, Pacheco]
Jessica Drew experienced a major resurgence in the mid-00s when Brian Bendis pulled her into his New Avengers (2004) and then made her central to the run-up to Secret Invasion (2008)!
That wasn’t enough to spawn a long ongoing run for Drew in the 00s, but she was back on the Avengers and in consistently the mix with other major Marvel heroes for the first time in over 20 years. That finally translated to her own series to tie in with Spider-Verse (2014), which brought her back to a starring role – which she’d continue multiple times in the following decade.
All of that material is probably too much for one omnibus… and, some of it would easily make its own omnibus! But, the breaks in all of that are hard to predict, and all of those books would likely garner a small amount of votes on their own. Instead, for the purposes of the poll we treat it all as one continuing line of modern Jessica Drew material in omnibus.
A vote for this book is a vote to kick off a modern omnibus line for Spider-Woman, which would include fantastic ongoing material from Dennis Hopeless and Carla Pacheco as it continues through to the present day.
This would begin to collect Giant-Size Spider-Woman (2005) #1, skip all of her Secret Invasion material, continue to Brian Bendis’s Spider-Woman (2009) #1-7, Avengers Assemble (2012) #9-13 (in which she is the lead character), and Dennis Hopeless’s Spider-Woman (2014) #1-10 & Spider-Woman (2015) #1-17 and “Spider-Women” crossover with issues #6-7 (Spider-Women (2016) Alpha #1 & Omega #1, Silk (2015B) #7-8, Spider-Gwen (2015B) #7-8). It could add a guest appearance in Doctor Strange (2015) #21-24, also by Hopeless.
Then, a Volume 2 could collect Strikeforce (2019) #1-9 (where she was a lead character), Spider-Woman (2020) #1-20 by Carla Pacheco & Pere Pérez, and possibly Spider-Woman (2023) #1-10 by Steve Foxe (along with material from Web of Spider-Man (2023) #1).
Spider-Woman & The New Champions by Steve Foxe (2023 – 2025)
Including this as a distinct book on the poll is a bit of an experiment, and one I fully expect to go poorly.
Steve Foxe picked up Jessica Drew in 2023 during the “Gang War” mini-event in Spider-Man (2022). He inherited the character and immediately hit two big problems. First, he was following Carla Pacheco’s run, which was a surprising top-selling and incredibly well-received by fans. And, second, Foxe (probably under editorial pressure) messed with one of the core elements that had made Jessica Drew’s story so unique for a whole decade.
To Foxe’s credit, he also learned hard into making Spider-Woman’s personality unique and brought her back to San Francisco, where she has always been a better fit than in the over-saturated hero scene of NYC. However, this book never overcame the two problems it was saddled with, and quickly resolved after 10 issues.
Why not just leave this to be part of the “Modern Years” book I just listed? Because Steve Foxe invented a new team of “Champions” at the end of that Spider-Woman (2023) run that had nothing to do with any prior team of Champions at Marvel – not the 1970s version from Los Angeles or Mark Waid’s modern teen version (though they did meet up in issue #3). Really, the only tie to anything in the Marvel Universe this team has is that they debuted with Spider-Woman – who appears as a guest star in their run.
I hated the book at the beginning – it seemed absolutely pointless and like it had no identity of its own. However, by the end of 10 issues I had started to find it really charming. It was taking a Strange Academy approach to introducing a whole team all at once and defining their personalities in a round-robin way. That’s how we used to meet brand new teams back in the Silver and Bronze ages, but readers don’t always have the patience for that in the modern day (me included).
Thus, we’ve put them both together into this slim book. And, if Steve Foxe was the major star he ought to be if Marvel didn’t keep handing him doomed-to-fail books, maybe this would acquire lots of votes. Alas, I fear it might not claim any, in which case we’ll fold his Spider-Woman (2023) run back into the Modern Years book and New Champions (2024) will become abandoned on the poll.
A vote for this book is a vote that indicates you really love Steve Foxe comic books, even when Marvel gives them absolutely no chance to succeed.
This would collect Spider-Woman (2023) #1-10, New Champions (2024) #1-10, and material from Web of Spider-Man (2024) #1
Spider-Woman: Julia Carpenter – Madame Web (1984 & on)
Before she became Madame Web, Julia Carpenter was a government-made superhero who stumbled into the universal stakes of the original Secret War.
With Jessica Drew seeming to give up her costumed life as Spider-Woman in the early 80s, Marvel established Carpenter as second Spider-Woman during the original Marvel Super-Heroes Secret Wars (1984). She had a black suit to visually tie her into Spidey’s new status quo, and she was pulled into being somewhat of an anti-hero by Mystique and her government-sponsored Freedom Force.
Much of her Julia Carpenter’s content as Spider-Woman in the late 80s and early 90s was as a member of Avengers West Coast and then Force Works, so it’s not likely all of that would be recollected here. But, it could include a few featured appearances and solo stories. And, it could even extend into her transition to becoming the second Madame Web.
A vote for this book is a vote to collect Julia Carpenter’s origins and major material prior to becoming Madame Web all in one volume, maybe adding some context around Madame Web as well.
This would begin to collect Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars (1984) #6 and material from 7-12, Uncanny X-Men (1963) #206, X-Factor (1986) #8-9, Avengers (1963) Annual 15, Iron Man (1968) #214, Spectacular Spider-Man (1976) #125-126, Web of Spider-Man (1985) #3, material from Avengers West Coast (1989) #70-72, 74-82, 85-90 & Annual 6-7, excerpts from Infinity War (1993) #1 & 3, Spider-Woman (1993) #1-4, and more!
This could add some material from the original classic Madame Web, including excerpts from Amazing Spider-Man (1963) #210, 216, 229-230, & #239, as well as Jessica Drew’s transition to take her place from Amazing Spider-Man #636-637 and on.
Spider-Woman: Mattie Franklin & The Loners (1999 – 2010) [includes Spider-Woman (1999)]
Mattie Franklin was the third character to take the name of Spider-Woman, though she’s often the least-remembered. However, this omnibus would be a chance to collect her origins in post-Clone Era Spider-Man, her entire Spider-Woman (1999) series, as well as the obscure The Loners (2007) mini-series!
Could this also include her appearance in Jessica Jones’s Alias (2001)? Marvel has problem to be a bit squeamish about merging MAX material with mainstream Marvel comics in a single omnibus in the past, so it’s not a sure thing.
A vote for this book is a vote to collect all of Mattie Franklin’s story in one book – including her complete Spider-Woman (1999) series!
This would collect Mattie Franklin’s origin material (from Spectacular Spider-Man (1976) #262, Amazing Spider-Man (1963) #441, Amazing Spider-Man (1999) #1-2 & 5-6, Peter Parker: Spider-Man (1999) #1-2); material from Contest of Champions II (1999) #2-4; Spider-Woman (1999) #1-18 & Amazing Spider-Man (1999) #14; material “Fast Lane” comic inserts; possibly Alias (2001) #16-21 (this is a Mature Readers comic; she does not appear in #17, but it is part of her arc); The Loners (2007) #1-6; Amazing Spider-Man (1963) #611 & 630; Amazing Spider-Man Presents: Black Cat (2010) #1 (2nd story); and material from Amazing Spider-Man (1963) #634.
Spider-Woman: Silk Vol. 1 (2015 – 2023)
We’ve prepended “Spider-Woman” onto this Silk omnibus, but it’s the same book it has always been on prior polls. We simply wanted it to be alphabetized alongside other “Spider” titles to hopefully make it even more visible and competitive on the poll.
Silk was introduced during the run-up to Spider-Verse (2014) as the girl who could have been Peter Parker. She went to school with him and endured a similar radioactive spider-bite, but her life took a distinctly different path from that point forward. See for more details!
Silk managed to spin off into a sequence of her own series, at first entirely written by Robbie Thompson. These gave her a much more complex story arc and inner life than her introduction by Dan Slott, which focused her her pheromone-driven attraction to Peter Parker in an unfortunate way.
Weirdly, to keep Silk alive and in more comics, she has been regressed in age significantly from her first appearance. If she’s truly Peter Parker’s peer, she ought to be in her mid-to-late 20s. However, in the 2020s Marvel has her as the naive sidekick to Black Cat (who has always been portrayed as being the same age as Peter) and hanging out with teenagers in the New Agents of Atlas.
A series of mini-series in 2021 through 2023 got Silk’s character back on track and returned to portraying her with complexity rather than trying to simplify her into being another “Spider-Girl.”
A vote for this book is a vote to begin to collecting Silk in omnibus format, which could easily continue into a second volume.
This would collect Amazing Spider-Man (2014) #4-6 (and scenes from #1-3), Silk (2015A) #1-7, Amazing Spider-Man (2015) #1 (3rd story), Silk (2015B) #1-19 and the “Spider-Women” crossover (Spider-Women Alpha (2016) #1, Spider-Gwen (2015B) #7-8, Silk (2015B) #7-8, Spider-Woman (2015) #6-7, and Spider-Women Omega (2016) #1), and Amazing Spider-Man & Silk: The Spider(Fly) Effect (2016) #1-4,
I could see a collection stopping there, since that is three recollected trades of content totaling about 40 issues. We could also continue to collect Silk (2021) #1-5, Silk (2022) #1-5, and Silk (2023) #1-5. Or, we could hold them for a future Volume 2.
Spider-Gwen: The All-New Spider-Gwen by Stephanie Phillips et al (2021 – 2026) [follows Ghost-Spider omni, also includes minis]
Shocking pretty much every possible fan and reader, Marvel followed up the initial smash-hit Spider-Gwen omnibus in 2021 with another one in 2023 – Spider-Gwen: Ghost-Spider, collecting a considerably less-notable run by Seanan McGuire (which I actually enjoyed quite a bit).
With another Spider-Verse movie starting Gwen slated for 2017, we now have enough material to spawn another omnibus for her. And, this one definitely has a multiverse bent to it – with Gwen hopping back and forth between her Earth-65 and Marvel-616, plus adventuring through other familiar alternate earths with the TVA.
This starts with a trio of mini-series, all following Gwen through brief multi-verse shenanigans. Then, it settles down for a year-long run on Stephanie Phillips’ Spider-Gwen: The Ghost-Spider (2024), which starts with Gwen in a curious position in the Marvel-617 universe and then takes her to the outer reaches of the galaxy.
That curious position is later somewhat explained by TVA (2024), a very enjoyable multiversal detective procedural that is at least 50% a “Gwen’s Multiverse Rejects Team-Up” book also featuring Captain Carter, Jimmy Hudson as Wolverine, and a very sad version of Gambit. Then, in 2025, Phillips continued her run on Gwen for another 10 issues in All-New Spider-Gwen: The Ghost-Spider (2025).
That’s actually a pretty hefty omnibus – 15 issues of initial mini-series, 25 issues of Stephanie Phillips, and 5 issues of TVA! It would be just as long as the first Spider-Gwen omnibus, which clocked in at over 1,200 pages!
A vote for this book is a vote to continue to comprehensively collect Spider-Gwen, pushing all the way to the present in gathering her series together just in time for the next Spider-Verse film.
This would collect Spider-Gwen Infinity Comic (2021) #1 AKA Spider-Gwen Infinity Comic Primer (2021) #1, Spider-Gwen: Gwenverse (2022) #1-5, Spider-Gwen: Shadow-Clones (2023) #1-5, Spider-Gwen (2023) Annual 1, Spider-Gwen: Smash (2023) #1-4 & Giant-Size Spider-Gwen (2024) #1, Spider-Gwen: The Ghost-Spider (2024) #1-15, TVA (2024) #1-5, All-New Spider-Gwen: The Ghost-Spider (2025) #1-10, and material from Web of Spider-Man (2024) #1.
SpiSpider-Man Family & Spider-Verse Omnibus Mapping: Scarlet Spider Omnibus Maps
We’ve had multiple heroes don the costume and title of Scarlet Spider, but they all tend to have one thing in common – they’re copies of Peter Parker!
I made a big goof with these books in 2025… or, maybe a series of small goofs that added up to a big goof. More on that below.
NOT ON THE POLL: Spider-Man: The Scarlet Spider (Kaine) by Yost (2012 – 2014) [2012 series + New Warriors issues]
This book is not on the poll this year, and it is because I made two goofs in a row that none of the other Mapping Minties caught.
Luckily, I think this might be our ONLY big omission this year!
First, in an effort to simplify more books into single “Modern Years” omnibuses that don’t map ahead, I combined most of “Spider-Man: The Scarlet Spider (Kaine) by Yost (2012 – 2014) [2012 series + New Warriors issues]” into “New Warriors: The Modern Years (1999 & on) [AKA Vol. 4]”
However, that leaves us with 25 issues of Scarlet Spider material! And, in my brain, I forgot that Kaine is a DIFFERENT SCARLET SPIDER than Ben Reilly, so I merged that into the book below.
Honestly, that’s not the end of the world! Putting both Scarlet Spiders into one big omnibus makes a lot of sense, and probably would help it get more votes. I even added Yost’s name and updated the year range, so I didn’t actually omit any issues from the poll.
Unfortunately, I didn’t add Kaine’s name to that book, so people looking for Kaine didn’t know where to find it. That’s on me.
This book was meant to be a chance to collect Kaine’s 2010s adventures both solo and with the New Warriors, entirely penned by Christopher Yost. Depending on how the other two books do, we might bring it back next year.
This would collect Scarlet Spider (2012) #1-25 & 12.1, Superior Spider-Man Team-Up #2, material from Point One #1, and New Warriors (2014) #1-12.
Could we use this to collect some of Kaine’s history in a coherent way? It’s tempting, but we already have a forty issue omnibus – there’s not much room for his origins here unless it omits the New Warriors run.
Spider-Man: The Scarlet Spider, Ben Reilly by Yost & David (2012 & on)
This book collects two substantial runs on two different Scarlet Spiders by two different authors into one place
First, Christopher Yost pens Kaine trying to establish his own life in a truly enjoyable run on Scarlet Spider (2012).
Then, Peter David penned Ben Reilly: Scarlet Spider (2017), featuring Ben Reilly’s return to life as he became the Spider-Man of Las Vegas! It’s a critical chapter in Ben’s ongoing story to understand his path to appearing in the “BEYOND!” portion of the Spider-Man (2018) run.
A vote for this book is a vote to collect all of both Scarlet Spider runs together in one collection, which might be the best chance to get Scarlet Spider comprehensively in oversize hardcover.
First, this would collect Scarlet Spider (2012) #1-25 & 12.1, Minimum Carnage (2012) Alpha #1 & Omega #1, Venom (2011) #26-27, Superior Spider-Man Team-Up (2023) #2, material from Point One (2011) #1, and possibly Scarlet Spiders (2014) #1-3.
Then, this would continue to Ben Reilly: Scarlet Spider (2017) #1-25 and material from Dead No More: The Clone Conspiracy – Omega (2017) #1 (and potentially some limited excerpts from The Clone Conspiracy (2016) #1-6), and possibly Spider-Force (2018) #1-3.
Optionally, it could also include a trio of retcon series by J. M. DeMatteis – Spider-Man: The Lost Years (1994) #1-3, Spider-Man: Redemption (1996) #1-4, and Ben Reilly: Spider-Man (2022) #1-5 (though the first two already exist in the Clone Saga line).
Spider-Man Family & Spider-Verse Omnibus Mapping: Spider-Girl, Spider-Ham, Spider-Man Noir, & Spider-Verse
Spider-Girl: Mayday Parker Vol. 1 (1998 & on)
Mayday Parker is an alternate universe character with a surprisingly durable popularity considering her obscure beginnings.
Mayday was introduced as part of Marvel’s MC2, a late-90s attempt to spin off a fresh Marvel Universe with the next generation of Marvel heroes. There, Mayday is the biological daughter of Peter & Mary Jane, who inherited Peter’s powers.
Most of the MC2 fizzled after just a handful of issues, but Spider-Girl was the little comic that could in the 00s as written by her creator Tom DeFalco. Her book was saved again and again from the brink of cancellation until it reached issue #100, after which it relaunched into a new volume, which then spun off into back-up features in Marvel-616 Spider-Man comics.
A vote for this is a vote for Marvel to crack into Mayday Parker in omnibus format now that they’ve also begun to collect it in Epic Collection!
This would begin to collect What If…? (1989) #105 (later reprinted as Spider-Girl #0), Spider-Girl (1998) #0, 1/2, 1-100 & Annual 1999, The Buzz (2000) #1-3, Last Hero Standing (2005) #1-5, Last Planet Standing (2006) #1-5, Amazing Spider-Girl (2006) #0-30, material from Amazing Spider-Man Family (2008) #1-3 & 5-7, back-ups in Web of Spider-Man (2009) #1-7, Spectacular Spider-Girl (2010) #1-4, and finally Spider-Girl: End (2010) #1.
She doesn’t pop up again until Spider-Verse in 2014, as which point she is an ensemble multiverse character and not a solo star. However, she also had some back-ups in Spider-Island (2015), a Secret Wars (2015) tie-in.
Spider-Girl: The MC2 Universe (1998 – 2008) [all non-Spider-Girl MC2 series]
A vote for this book is a vote to collect all of the MC2 Universe other than Spider-Girl together in one place as a companion to Spider-Girl’s omnibus line.
This would collect A-Next (1998) #1-12, J2 (1998) #1-12, Fantastic Five (1999) #1-5, Wild Thing (1999) #0-5, The Buzz (2000) #1-3, American Dream (2008), Darkdevil (2000) #1-3, Last Hero Standing (2005) #1-5, Last Planet Standing (2006) #1-5, Fantastic Five (2007) #1-5, Avengers Next (2007) #1-5, American Dream (2008) #1-5, and perhaps American Dream’s membership in Captain America Corps (2011) #1-5 miniseries. It might also include a handful of Spider-Girl issues for context or where many other MC2 characters appear.
Spider-Ham, Peter Porker (1985 – 2015)
Spider-Ham is now a world-wide star thanks to his appearances in the Spider-Verse films as voiced by John Mulaney. It was Spider-Ham’s in-continuity appearances in the 2014 Spider-Verse event that tipped him for that role, but previously he had mostly been a star of a kids’ comic in a completely separate Earth in Marvel’s multiverse! See Guide to Spider-Ham for more details.
This would collect all of those pre-Marvel-616 continuity tales based on the mapping of a pair of complete collections, maybe adding a handful of more recent material that wouldn’t otherwise have a home in an omnibus.
A vote for this book is a vote to comprehensively collect all of Spider-Ham’s comics together in oversize hardcover for the first time!
This would collect Marvel Tails (1983) #1 (both stories), Peter Porker, The Spectacular Spider-Ham (1985) #1-17, the Spider-Ham back-ups from Marvel Tales (1964) #201-212, 214-219, 223-230, 233, 236-237, 239-240, 247; What The–?! (1988) #20; Ultimate Civil War: Spider-Ham (2007) #1; Spider-Ham 25th Anniversary Special (2010) #1; Spider-Man Annual (2019) #1; and material from What The–?! (1988) #3, 18, 22, 24, 26 and Spider-Verse (2015) #1.
That’s truly everything Spider-Ham through Spider-Verse, plus that Annual one-shot story from 2019. For fun, we could also top this off with Spider-Ham (2020) #1-5.
Spider-Man: Spider-Man Noir (2009 & on)
While we have the entire original Marvel Noir Universe listed separately on the poll, this is a chance to collect only Spider-Man Noir’s comics – which extended beyond the original Noir line.
A vote for this book is a vote to collect all of Spider-Man Noir’s adventures in one place before the debut of his Amazon Prime show!
This would collect Spider-Man Noir (2008) #1-4, Spider-Man Noir: Eyes Without a Face (2009) #1-4, material from Edge of Spider-Verse (2014) #1, Spider-Geddon: Spider-Man Noir Video Comic, material from Spider-Verse Team-Up (2013) #1, Spider-Verse (2019) #4-5, Spider-Man Noir (2020) #1-5 (which continues directly from his appearance in Spider-Verse #5), and Spider-Man Noir (2025) #1-5
Spider-Man: Edge of Spider-Verse Omnibus (2014 & on) [Spider-Verse minis]
“Spider-Verse” is a term that means different things to different fans.
For fans of the main Amazing Spider-Man comic run, it refers to a specific event that saw Peter Parker uniting every Spider-hero from across the entire Marvel multimedia multiverse. For film fans, it refers to a trio of Miles Morales film vehicles.
But, for major Marvel zombies who read Marvel’s new comics month in and month out (points emphatically to self), Spider-Verse has become an annual brand of comic mini-series introducing a new line-up of variant Spiders and checking in on existing ones.
A vote for this book is a vote to collect all of the Spider-Verse comics full of new Spiders all in one place!
This would collect Edge of Spider-Verse (2014) #1-5, Spider-Verse (2015) #1-5, Spider-Verse (2019) #1-6, Spider-Man: Enter the Spider-Verse (2018) #1, Spider-Verse (2019) #1-6, Edge of Spider-Verse (2022) #1-5, Edge of Spider-Verse (2023) #1-4, Marvel Voices: Spider-Verse (2023) #1, Edge of Spider-Verse (2024) #1-4, material from Web of Spider-Man (2024) #1, Spider Society (2024) #1-4, Web of Spider-Verse: New Blood (2025) #1, Spider-Verse vs. Venom-Verse (2025) #1-5, and possibly even all of Spider-Verse Unlimited Infinity Comic (2022) #1-53.
Spider-Man Family & Spider-Verse Omnibus Mapping: Spider-Man’s Amazing Friends – Slingers, Spider-Boy, Spider-Girl
Slingers (1998 & on)
I can’t take credit for this one! Mapping Mintie DBZALLSTAR went deep to find every possible Slinger appearance and pull them into a single omnibus, including updating it with new material for 2026.
A vote for this book is a vote for Slingers superfans to finally get all of their materials collected in one place for the first time.
This would collect Slingers (1998) #0, 1 (all four versions), & 2-12, Runaways (2005) 1-6, Loners (2007) #1-6, War of Kings: Darkhawk (2009) #1-2, Fear Itself: Youth in Revolt (2011) #1-6, Ben Reilly: The Scarlet Spider (2017) # 7-13, and Amazing Spider-Man (2018) #82.BEY, 83.BEY, & 88.BEY, plus material excerpted from Contest of Champions II #1 & 3, New Warriors (1999) #1, GLA #2, Civil War: Frontline #2, Civil War #6, Avengers: The Initiative (2007) #1, 13-23, 25, 28, 35, Secret Invasion (2008) #3, 6, & 7, Secret Invasion: Runaways/Young Avengers (2008) #1, Avengers: The Initiative Special Featuring Reptil (2009) #1, Ms. Marvel (2006) #18-19, Marvel Holiday Special 2007 #1, Avengers Academy (2010) #21, 23, 26, & 30-31, AXIS: Hobgoblin (2014) #1, All-New Wolverine (2015) Annual 1, Red Goblin (2023) #7, and material from Blood Hunt (2024) #1
Spider-Girl: Arana – Anya Corazon (2005 – 2014)
Anya Corazon as Arana began as an anthology book character in Amazing Fantasy (2004) as Marvel was entering the trade paperback era and experimenting with creating new legacy heroes across several different books, including Academy X, Young Avengers, and Runaways.
Some of those characters stuck, but even after giving Arana her own 12-issue series, she didn’t stuck with fans. She stuck around for some team-ups and back-up stories, and even merited another series in Spider-Girl (2011), but the market generally wasn’t into young heroes titles at the time.
She got briefly adopted by Avengers Assemble (2012) in Marvel Now, but the introduction of both Silk and Spider-Gwen in 2014 pushed Anya Corazon off stage and out of the limelight. Now, she is just one of many Spider-Family characters who turn up for Spider-Verse or Web Warriors books.
A vote for this book is a vote to collect all of Anya Corazon’s material into a single book!
This would collect Araña material from Amazing Fantasy (2004) #1-6, Arana: Heart of the Spider (2005) #1-12, Spider-Man & Arana: Hunter Revealed (2006) #1, some of her team-ups in Ms. Marvel (2006) #6-8, 11-14, & 18-24, material from Amazing Spider-Man Extra (2008) #1, appearances in Nomad back-ups in Captain America (1968) #602-606 & 610, Young Allies (2010) #1-6, Spider-Girl (2010) #1-8, Onslaught Unleashed (2011) #1-4, Spider-Island: Spider-Girl (2011) #1-3, a featured arc in Avengers Assemble (2012) #21-25, and more!
Spider-Boy by Dan Slott (2023 – 2025) [could include Spider-Girl (2025)]
I’m sure it wasn’t just me who rolled my eyes at the debut of Spider-Boy in Dan Slott’s return to Spider-Man (2022). Slott used his second Spider-Verse story as a way to conveniently retcon in a kid Spidey who no one had any recollection of!
Imagine my surprise when the ongoing Spider-Boy (2023) series turned out to be non-stop delight! So few in-continuity Marvel comics work well for readers of all ages, but Slott found a perfect tone for this book with stakes that still feel serious enough to keep an adult reader like me invested.
With Dan Slott having exited Marvel to write for DC, this is his final Marvel ongoing series – for now! And, we can add Torunn Grønbekk’s brief spinoff of Spider-Girl (2025).
A vote for this book is a vote to collect the surprisingly charming and equally-surprisingly long-running Spider-Boy into oversize hardcover!
This would collect, material from Spider-Man (2022) #8-11 (and material from #7), Spider-Boy (2023) #1-20 & Annual 1, material from Edge of Spider-Verse (2023) #3, Spider-Man Unlimited Infinity Comic (2023) #19-24, Spider-Woman (2023) #5, Superior Spider-Man (2023) #5-8 (and material from #4), Kidpool/Spider-Boy (2024) #1, and Spider-Girl (2025) #1-7.
Spider-Man Family & Spider-Verse Omnibus Mapping: The Deadly Foes of Spider-Man
Spider-Man has many iconic enemies, but how many of them merit their own omnibuses? DBZALLSTAR took a deep dive into multiple foes and came out with four that met the requirement of having a diverse enough amount of material that they didn’t simply feel like a full-on double-dip from just one or two Spider-Man omnibuses.
Spider-Man Villains: Doctor Octopus – The Early Years (1963 & on)
Does Doc Ock really need his own omnibus? This would almost entirely double-dip issues of Amazing Spider-Man. Sure, it’s issues spread across more than six omnis, but if you’re a big Spidey fan then they are already on your shelf. What’s the benefit?
I’m not sure there is one. Perhaps we could call this “Superior Spider-Man Vol. 0: Doc Ock Origins” and use it to collect all of the major moments and defeats that Otto suffers which are later referenced in Superior Spider-Man. However, that would still be a book that would be almost entirely double-dipping from existing Spider-Man omnis except for 15 issues worth of limited series.
A vote for this book is a vote for a villain-centric omnibus that gathers all of Doctor Octopus’s key material into one place.
This could begin to collect material from Amazing Spider-Man (1963) # 3, 11-12, Annual 1, 18, 30-32, 53-56, 88-90, 112-115, 130-131, 152, 154-159, & Annual 13 & 15 and Spectacular Spider-Man (1976) #72-79 & Annual 1. That takes up to his appearance in Marvel Super Hero Secret Wars (1984), and we could continue collecting more of his significant appearances and mini-series from there!
That means this could add Spider-Man: Funeral for an Octopus (1995) #1-3, Spider-Man/Doctor Octopus: Year One (2004) #1-5 [which may be in movie continuity, I’m not sure!], Spider-Man/Doctor Octopus: Negative Exposure (2003) #1-5, Spider-Man/Doctor Octopus: Out of Reach (2004) #1-5
Spider-Man Villains: Green Goblin – Norman Osborn, The Early Years (1963 & on)
Norman Osborn is one of Marvel’s most-fascinating and complex villains. He’s also a character who never really existed outside of Spider-Man’s ongoing titles until 2008 when he became Marvel’s main character as the result of Secret Invasion (2008), rolling into him leading Dark Avengers (2008).
That means no matter how comprehensive we make this book, it’s going to do a LOT of double-dipping.
The positive pitch for it is that Osborn’s initial character arc was a fascinating one that was given considerably more depth by later writers, and this is the chance to collect that all into one place for fans of the character from his many appearances across other media.
A vote for this book is a vote for comprehensive coverage of Norman Osborn’s origins as the Green Goblin in a single oversize tome.
This could begin collect material from Amazing Spider-Man (1963) #14, 17-18, 25-27, 37-40, 97-98, 121-123, Amazing Spider-Man Mighty Marvel Comics Calendar (1978) #1, Exclusive Collectors’ Edition: Spider-Man (AIM) (1980) #1, Spectacular Spider-Man (1976) #101, Marvel Graphic Novel (1982) #46 – Amazing Spider-Man Parallel Lives (1989), retcon stories (from Untold Tales of Spider-Man (1995) #1-2, 4, 8, 18, 20, & 22, Peter Parker: Spider-Man (1999) #-1, and Spider-Man: Shadow of the Green Goblin (2024) #1-4), and material from Amazing Spider-Man (1963) Annual 1 & #23, 47, 61-63, 66, 96, 105, 117, & 119, Spectacular Spider-Man Magazine #2, and Spider-Man: The Osborn Journal (1996) #1.
Spider-Man Villains: Green Goblin – Phil Urich (1995 – 1998) [1995 ongoing]
We’ve had a few different Green Goblins over the years. Phil Urich was the first of them to merit his own ongoing series, a year-long run in Green Goblin (1995). That series was collected entirely into trade paperback in the past, but never oversize hardcover.
I’ve wracked my brain on how we could make this book more substantial. My only thought is that perhaps this ought to be a “Clone Saga Companion,” collecting any other side series or graphic novels that occurred from 1994 to 1997 but didn’t get sucked into the four Clone/Reilly omnis. I’m not sure that would be very attractive to read or vote for, but it’s the only way to flesh this out since Phil Urich was such a contained character with few additional appearances.
A vote for this book is a vote to make your Clone-era shelves even more complete, and maybe that means including more material in it than just Green Goblin!
This would collect Green Goblin (1995) #1-13, along with Web of Spider-Man (1985) #125, Spectacular Spider-Man (1976) #225, and Amazing Scarlet Spider (1996) #2.
I think we could also add some material (some of it just cameo-level) from Spider-Man: Legacy of Evil, Spider-Man: Final Adventure (1995) #1, Spectacular Spider-Man (1988) #235, Spider-Man Unlimited (1993) #16, and Amazing Spider-Man (1963) #413, 415, 422, 425, & 433 to make this a complete story.
Spider-Man Villains: Kraven (1964 – 1992)
I have read literally every issue in this book, and I can certify that if you are the rare Spidey fan who really loves Kraven you will have a rollicking good time with this all-hits version of his continuity. See my Guide to Kraven for my own deep dive into this material!
This is truly EVERY major Kraven appearance every through 2010, at which point his story takes a bit of a turn (and would require reprinting almost an entire Amazing Spider-Man by Nick Spencer omnibus to keep telling).
A vote for this book is a vote to collect every major Kraven story EVER into a single book!
This would collect Amazing Spider-Man (1963) #15, an excerpt from Tales of Suspense (1959) #58, Amazing Spider-Man (1963) Annual 1, #34, & 47-49, Astonishing Tales (1970) #1-2, Amazing Spider-Man (1963) #103-104 & 110-111, Daredevil (1964) #104 (and material from #105), Creatures on the Loose (1971) #32-33, Marvel Chillers (1975) #4, Marvel Team-Up (1972) #67, The Amazing Spider-Man (1963) #209, Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man (1976) #65, Ka-Zar the Savage (1981) #19-21, West Coast Avengers (1985) #3, “Kraven’s Last Hunt” (Web of Spider-Man (1985) #31-32, Amazing Spider-Man (1963) #293-294, Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man (1976) #131-132), The Amazing Spider-Man: Soul of the Hunter (1992) OGN, and later retcon stories from X-Men/Spider-Man (2009) #1, X-Men: Hidden Years (1999) #16-17, Amazing Spider-Man (1963) #634-637 (2nd stories), and possibly Spider-Man: The Lost Hunt (2022) #1-5.
Spider-Man Villains: Hallow’s Eve (2022 & on) [includes both Blood Hunters + Curse of Kaine]
Note: Our title misplaced the apostrophe in the character’s name.
Hallows’ Eve is less a villain and more a brand new thorn in Spider-Man’s side, not really doing anything all that evil other than hating him for being the original version of her lover Ben Reilly.
For a character just introduced in 2023’s “Dark Web” event, Hallows’ Eve has made a surprising amount of appearances since then! She had her own mini-series, a one shot, two “Blood Hunters” series as part of Blood Hunt (2024), plus a mini-series for her partner Kaine.
That gives us an instant omnibus of 20+ issues, all of which are a fun read… but, it feels like there could still be more to come for this character.
A vote for this book is a vote to pull together all of Hallows’ Eve’s material into a single oversize collection.
This would collect Amazing Spider-Man (2022) #14 (A & B stories), Hallows’ Eve (2023) #1-5, Amazing Spider-Man Annual 2023, Hallows’ Eve: The Big Night (2023) #1, Amazing Spider-Man (2022) #47-48, Blood Hunters (2024A) #1-4, Chasm: Curse of Kaine (2024) #1-4, and Blood Hunters (2024B) #1-5
