Ghost Rider & The Midnight Sons Omnibus Mapping | 14th Annual Tigereyes Most-Wanted Marvel Omnibus Poll

February 16, 2026 by krisis 3 Comments

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 Ghost Rider omnibus map for material that has not yet been collected comprehensively in omnibus – all of which will appear as options on the 2026 poll. Plus, all of the rest of the Midnight Sons – including Blade, Hellstrom, Darkhold, Dracula, Man-Thing, Morbius, Terror Inc, and Werewolf by Night.

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.

This year is a good year for Ghost Rider in omnibus. We’re not only getting Ghost Rider: Danny Ketch Vol. 3, keeping up an annual pace for that line, but also an unexpected Ghost Rider by Benjamin Percy! Plus, we have the event omnibus for Blood Hunt, an event heavily focused on Blade and Dracula.

That made 2026 a very scary year for Marvel omnibuses! Could we repeat that in 2027, perhaps expanding from a core of Ghost Rider to see some of Marvel’s other spooky characters in omnibus?

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, including my Guide to Ghost Rider.

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!

Every Missing Midnight Sons Omnibus, Mapped | 13th Annual Tigereyes Most-Wanted Marvel Omnibus Poll

April 19, 2025 by krisis

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 Blade, Ghost Rider, & Midnight Sons 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.

Maybe you didn’t realize it, but we’re in a Golden Age of Ghost Rider in omnibus! We’ve just had two volumes of his 1990s series announced for release just 13 months apart. For a series that was almost entirely uncollected as of two years ago, that’s pretty amazing.

Of course, that gives us a grand total of just four Ghost Rider omnibuses – there are so many more we need to completely cover the many iterations of the character.

Meanwhile, there’s the remainder of Marvel’s spookiest characters, many of whom are known collectively as the “Midnight Sons.” We have single omnibuses for Blade, Hellstrom, Man-Thing, Morbius, & Werewolf by Night, but all of them could use at least one more volume. Plus, Darkhold and Terror Inc. have never had an omnibus. Oh, heck, let’s throw Dracula in there, too… he turns out to hav more solo material than most of those Midnight Sons!

Should we make 2026 a very scary year for Marvel omnibuses? Let’s take a look at the mapping for Ghost Rider and all of Marvel’s horrific heroes and anti-heroes.

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!

Marvel Solo Heroes Omnibus Mapping (A-M) for the Tigereyes Most Wanted Marvel Omnibus 12th Annual Secret Ballot

April 1, 2024 by krisis

Until April 5, I’ll be loosely mapping missing and most-wanted Marvel omnibus volumes every day! Today you’re in for a LOT of mapping, because this post covers every non-mutant, non-Spider solo hero I have yet to cover! That’s more than 100 maps of potential omnibuses for dozens of amazing Marvel characters starts here (and continues in the next post)!

This post explains titles and potential 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.

Below I cover America Chavez, Ant-Man (Pym, Lang, & O’Grady), Black Cat, Black Knight, Black Panther, Black Widow, Captain Marvel (Mar-Vell & Danvers), Conan, Crystar, Darkhawk, Deadpool, Deathlok, Echo, Falcon, Frankenstein, Galactus, Hawkeye, Hellcat – Patsy Walker, Hellstrom, Hercules, Iron Fist, Jack of Hearts, Jessica Jones, Ka-Zar, Kang, Killraven, Kingpin, and Luke Cage.

It’s so much mapping that I had to break it into two parts so I wouldn’t break your browser! See the next post for the remainder of the alphabet and the rest of the maps.

We don’t have many options left to explore, but one of them is THE BIGGEST category of books on the pool: mutants! Stay tuned this week for a massive amount of X-Men mapping!

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.
