April 23, 2025 by krisis 3 Comments

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 X-Men Solo omnibus that does NOT exist (other than Wolverine) – 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.

What teams are we talking about? I’m so glad you asked! This posts includes potential omnibus volumes for Apocalypse, Bishop, Cable, Domino, Emma Frost, Gambit, Juggernaut, Kitty Pryde, Magik, Maverick, Mister Sinister, Mystique, Nightcrawler, Rogue, Sabretooth, Storm, X-Man – Nate Grey, and more!

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!

Mister Sinister – The Definitive Reading Order and Collecting Guide

Hellions (2020) #7 – All of Sinister’s schemes dissected | This Week in X

December 4, 2020 by krisis

It’s This Week in X for Hellions (2020) #7, released 2 December 2020!

We’re taking a slightly different approach to This Week in X this week – each issue gets its own video, released one per day.

Hellions (2020) #7 is another twisted delight from Zeb Wells as we see the ramifications of the full team wipe from last issue – and, especially, the results of dying in Amenth. What unstable resurrection spurs Sinister’s next mission for the team? And, what is the surprising reveal that makes Fallen Angels relevant again?

We’re intrigued with Sinister’s schemes and how they affect the newly “honed” team. (Honed how, exactly?) Plus, Mr. Sinister has… fans (😯) in Psylocke (🤔) and Clive (😂), and we see a familiar face at the end!

Join Peter, Tyler, and Fariha’s specially-nominated guest New Mutant, Harry, for this dissection (with a special guest appearance from our wayward mutant sister, Fariha).

Recapping X of Swords, Week 4: Hellions #5, New Mutants #13, & Cable #5 | This Week in X

October 15, 2020 by krisis

Join Peter, Tyler, and Fariha as we dissect the fourth week of the 22-chapter X of Swords crossover in three issues – Hellions (2020) #5, New Mutants (2019) #13, and Cable (2020) #5.

In this episode we fawn over Sinister’s plumage, discuss Krakoa’s decadent phase, talk about violence as language, ponder if Cyclops & Jean are acting weirder than their normal Dawn of X selves, and more!
