Until April 5, I’ll be loosely mapping missing and most-wanted Marvel omnibus volumes every day! Today I’ll be looking at all of the omnibuses that don’t yet exist for Marvel’s Daredevil & Elektra.
This post explains titles and potential Elektra & Daredevil Omnibus Mapping for entries on the Tigereyes Most Wanted Marvel Omnibus 12th Annual Secret Ballot. You can vote right now (until 5 April 2024 @ midnight US ET) or watch our mega-length announcement stream reviewing every single voting option.
Daredevil is often viewed as Marvel’s marquee character who attracts the biggest names to write an endless string of acclaimed runs! The problem is that Marvel’s collection strategy has often focused only on those runs of they are from 1998 and onward! While the Epic Collection line has finally filled in all of the many gaps in Daredevil’s original 1964 series, it’s still one of the least-collected of all of Marvel Silver Age titles.
Meanwhile, Elektra’s only solo omnibus is Elektra: Assassin! As she increasingly become a solo character from 1997 forward, none of her material has been collected cohesively in omnibus format.
If you’re not sure of what to vote for, stick around for my explanations. Or, if you’ve already voted, learn why the team behind the poll decided on these books and titles – including some of my mistakes and regrets as one of the editors of the options on the final poll.
Or… just find some great comics to read!
Remember: These mappings are just my suggestion of how Marvel could assemble these books. They are meant to help you decide on your votes and build your personal reading list, but your vote on the poll is NOT an endorsement of my specific map. It’s a vote in favor of Marvel creating a book with that title or covering that period.
