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 Fantastic Four, Doctor Doom, & Silver Surfer 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.
With the MCU Fantastic Four movie arriving in just a few months, Marvel has already been active in their Fantastic Four release schedule. We’ll see a classic Fantastic Four Vol. 6 omnibus in June, followed by the start of a new omnibus line with a Marvel Two-in-One Vol. 1 omnibus a week later. Plus, Silver Surfer finally gets his 1987 series in omnibus (and some key preceding material) in Silver Surfer: Return to the Spaceways this May, followed by a reprint of the Stan Lee Silver Surfer Volume 1 in June! All three books were popular on the 2025 poll, with Vol. 6 and Spaceways both in the Top 60.
That leaves us a dwindling list of Fantastic Four and Silver Surfer comics that have never been printed in omnibus compared to least year’s poll options for the F4 and Silver Surfer. Can the new MCU popularity of the team spur us on to get another three omnibuses crossed off this list in 2026? Perhaps, but it would send a stronger signal to Marvel if you cast your votes for some of them!
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!
