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 Heroes For Hire omnibus map – including Misty Knight, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, & Iron Fist omnibus maps – for material that has not yet been collected comprehensively in omnibus, all of which will appear as options on the 2026 poll.

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.

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. That includes my Guide to Iron Fist, Guide to Luke Cage – Power Man, Guide to Heroes for Hire, and Guide to Jessica Jones!

Even if you don’t own a single omnibus, you can use this post to learn about Marvel’s history of material and find great comics to read physically or digitally!

New Comics & Collected Editions Releases: Marvel Comics – April 16 2025

April 10, 2025 by krisis

Next week is the 16th new comic book day of 2025! This post covers Marvel Comics April 16 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering Marvel Comics April 9 2025 new releases.

This week in Marvel Comics: Tony Stark’s anti-Doom insurgency, Elektra & Ghost Rider vs. Muse, Epic Modern Widow, Godzilla vs. 70s Hulk, Aaron Wolverine reprinted, Spider-Men battle paired foes, some mysterious Superior Avengers, and more!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: Marvel’s line is in a rough spot without many exciting comic series at the moment, so my pick of the week has to default to a Star Wars book for a second week in a row. Congratulations, Star Wars: Legacy of Vader (2025) #3, your my pick because Marvel’s superhero editorial strategy at the moment is a dumpster fire! Although, in truth, I do find this series pretty fun – as is the case anytime Charles Soule deep dives into a villain.

This post includes every comic out from Marvel Comics April 16 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.

The Krisis Pick of the Week: This is an easy pick, as Jed MacKay continues his death-grip on my most-anticipated Marvel Comics. The Avengers (2023) #23 not only continues his fun space heist romp, it has more art from by rising star Farid Karami.

This post includes every comic out from Marvel Comics February 5 2025, plus collected editions in omnibus, hardcover, paperback, and digest-sized formats.

New Comics & Collected Editions Releases: Marvel Comics – May 22 2024

May 18, 2024 by krisis

It’s the 21st new comic book day of the new year! This post covers Marvel Comics May 22 2024 releases. Missed last week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering Marvel Comics May 15 2024 new releases.

This week in Marvel Comics: Gang War collected, Spencer Cap in omnibus, Blood Hunt continues, Fall of the House of X concludes, She-Hulk’s space vacay takes a turn. Immortal Thor fights a PR war, 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 May 22 2024 Collected Editions

The Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 9: Gang War
(2024 paperback, ISBN 978-1302954604 / digital)
See Guide to Spider-Man – Peter Parker (2018 – Present). This collects all of the core of the Gang War story from Amazing Spider-Man (2022). While there were a lot of tie-ins to this story, the plots in books like Spider-Woman and Luke Cage didn’t really drive the plot.

The Avengers Epic Collection: The Evil Reborn
(2024 paperback, ISBN 978-1302955236 / digital)
See Guide to Avengers (1963 – 1996). This Epic collects several different authors writing a year on either side of Avengers (1963) #200, including George Pérez! The initial burst of this has been collected in the past as “Heart of Stone,” but otherwise this material has only ever been in Marvel Masterworks!

Also, it includes the intensely problematic issue #200, which Chris Claremont immediately rebuked with his all-time classic introduction of Rogue in Annual 10 – also in this book!

Captain America by Nick Spencer Omnibus Vol. 2
(2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302953706 / digital)
See Guide to Captain America – Steve Rogers. This collects the conclusion of Nick Spencer’s two-year, multi-title run on Captain American across Sam Wilson, Steve Rogers, and the Secret Empire event.

However, this isn’t a “Secret Empire Omnibus” – it only includes the core 12 issues of the event. I’ll be very curious to hear about the reading order of this turns out, since it’s all by Spencer and he certainly wrote it in a specific reading order.
