Every Missing Carnage & Venom Omnibus, Mapped | 13th Annual Tigereyes Most-Wanted Marvel Omnibus Poll

April 20, 2025 by krisis Leave a Comment

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 Carnage & Venom omnibus that does NOT exist – all of which will appear as options on the 2025 poll.

For the next two weeks, 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.

This year we’re getting one of the most massive Venom omnibuses – both in physical size and in impact on filling the gaps in his oversize coverage. The Agent Venomnibus will collect the entire run of Agent Venom both in Earth and in space from 2011 to 2015! I have a few quibbles with some extra content it could have included (including the Klyntar origin from Guardians of the Galaxy (2013), but few people suspected that Marvel would push to fit Venom: Space Knight (2015) into this book and that’s exciting!

What does that mean for Venom’s coverage in omnibus? We’re just two books away from unbroken coverage from 1994 to 2021, and then we can continue with two more books to reach the present day! Meanwhile, in Carnage Omnibus news, it’s time for both a “Volume 0” to establish his origins and a Volume 2 to continue collecting his comics from 2017 to present.

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!

New Comics & Collected Editions Releases: Marvel Comics – April 23 2025

Next week is the 17th new comic book day of 2025! This post covers Marvel Comics April 23 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering Marvel Comics April 16 2025 new releases.

This week in Marvel Comics: One World vs. Doom, Avengers of Evil, X-Men vs. 3k, Predator stalks a Spider, X-Force ends, Rhino’s heart problems, Brock vs. Bushwacker, Epic best ever X-Men reprinted, Epic Ultimate X-Men (but just a lil’ bit), the least-wanted X-Men omni of all time, and more!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: There are no Star Wars comics out this week for a Marvel Zombie turned Marvel Hater to retreat to for my pick! What’s a confirmed hater to do? Luckily, this week actually has all of my favorite non-Ultimate Marvel books, so I have some choices! Since Avengers (2023) will be a One World Under Doom (2024) tie-in of unknown quality (and since One World kinda fell apart in issue #2), I’m going with Eddie Brock: Carnage (2025) #3, which is building an engaging horrific mystery for the unholy alliance between Eddie Brock and the Carnage symbiote! More on that below.

This post includes every comic out from Marvel Comics April 23 2025, plus collected editions in omnibus, hardcover, paperback, and digest-sized formats.

This isn’t the typical comic releases post you can find on other sites. Why? I explain each collection and review every series with a new issue out this week. Plus, for every new release, I’ll point you to a personally-curated guide within the Crushing Comics Guide to Marvel Comics to find out how to collect that title in full!

There’s no other website on the internet that can claim that.

Next week is the 12th new comic book day of 2025! This post covers Marvel Comics March 19 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering Marvel Comics March 12 2025 new releases.

This week in Marvel Comics: a surprising hunk of Web of Spider-Man, Deadpool vs. Miles concludes, classic Ultimate F4 in omnibus, Ultimate X-Men year Two, penultimate X-Force, bloody questions for Carnage, New Champions gets even more toyetic, Ryan North’s rule of Doom continues, and more!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: It’s an easy pick this week – One World Under Doom (2025) #2! The first issue of this event from Ryan North, RB Silva, & David Curiel had me reading and re-reading it as much for the big action as for the witty jokes. Now that Doom is in control, what comes next? I can’t wait to find out from a book that is already ensconced deep in my Top 10 of 2025 with just one issue.

Next week is the 7th new comic book day of 2025! This post covers Marvel Comics February 12 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering Marvel Comics February 5 2025 new releases.

This week in Marvel Comics: North’s One World Under Doom debuts, Eddie Brock goes red, 80s Spidey hits classic omni, Epic Young Avengers, arc-enders from Spider-Boy & Spider-Gwen, return of Utgard-Thor, two flavors of Cable, and more!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: As tempted as I am to say Magik (2025) #2 after her smash hit first issue, I have to go with my heart and pick One World Under Doom (2025) #1 (of 9) penned by Ryan North. I’ve been cheering for North since the very start of his web comic days. It’s wild to see the web comic darling of 20 years ago steering a major Marvel event for arguably their signature villain. More on what North might in store below.

New Comics & Collected Editions Releases: Marvel Comics – June 5 2024

May 31, 2024 by krisis

It’s the 23nd new comic book day of the new year! This post covers Marvel Comics June 5 2024 releases. Missed last week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering Marvel Comics May 29 2024 new releases.

This week in Marvel Comics: The Ultimates debut, Alpha Flight divided, Ms. Marvel’s Inhumans reunion, Lando’s verdict, a second Spencer Spidey omni, the Age of Krakoa finale, and more!

This list includes every comic and digital comic out from Marvel this week, plus collected editions in omnibus, hardcover, paperback, and digest-sized formats. I recap and review every new single issue. Plus, for every new release, I’ll point you to the right guide within my Crushing Comics Guide to Marvel Comics to find out how to collect each character in full – and, if a guide is linked from this post, that means it is updated through the present day!

Marvel Comics June 5 2024 Collected Editions

Alpha Flight: Divided We Stand
(2024 paperback, ISBN 978-1302952457 / digital)
See Guide to Alpha Flight. I really, really loved this Ed Brisson & Scott Godlweski Alpha Flight mini-series that was a part of the Fall of X fallout from the 2023 Hellfire Gala.

I have a lot of affection for the core Alpha Flight characters and Ed Brisson voiced all of them particularly well as he explored how they might be stuck on separate sides of the mutant conflict. I think this reads just fine as a standalone outside of a full-on Krakoa read, since most of these characters are non-mutants and not a big part of the past five years of X-Men.

The Amazing Spider-Man By Nick Spencer Omnibus Vol. 2
(2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302953645 / digital)
See Guide to Spider-Man – Peter Parker (2018 – Present). This collects the final half of Nick Spencer’s run on Amazing Spider-Man (2018). I deeply disliked this comic – it felt like a Spider-Man with no jokes and no heart. I think if you are an Osborn Family superfan this would appeal to you, as it deals with a lot of the intricacies of the relationship between Norman and Harry. Otherwise, I wouldn’t recommend it.

In a curious turn of events, the next omnibus is already available – Amazing Spider-Man: Beyond Omnibus (2023 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302949624 / digital), which contains the entire final portion of this run that reintroduces Ben Reilly.

Black Panther by Eve L. Ewing Vol. 2: Reign at Dusk
(2024 paperback, ISBN 978-1302948849 / digital)
See Guide to Black Panther. I was soft on this series from Dr. Ewing to start, but after the first three issues I really warmed to it and I was bummed to see it end abruptly at issue #10.

I think Ewing did something intriguing and much-needed here by defining more of the urban environment of Wakanda outside of the capital city and exploring T’Challa’s relationship to it outside of being king. Plus, she brought in strong new supporting players and villains. If you can get into a more slow, cerebral take on Black Panther that does not have the political bent of Coates’s run, this could be for you.
