Marvel has a series of Uncanny X-Men Omnibus volumes that reprint the tales of the All-New, All-Different X-Men starting with Giant Size X-Men #1 and X-Men #94. The earlier adventures of the X-Men are collected in two X-Men Omnibus volumes, as well as in seven Marvel Masterwork volumes and three Essential X-Men volumes. The two X-Men Omnibus volumes have the contents of the first six Marvel Masterwork volumes, collecting through X-Men #66. However, the seventh Marvel Masterwork volume is not included in the second Omnibus. This volume reprinted the Beast series from Amazing Adventures and other X-Men appearances that happened between X-Men #66 and Giant Size X-Men #1. At 240 pages, it’s not really big enough to be an omnibus on its own. However, if that Marvel Masterwork were combined with the contents of the two X-Men: the Hidden Years trade paperbacks, there would be a pretty impressive volume! It would include:
The X-Men: the Hidden Years preview from X-Men #94 X-Men: the Hidden Years #1-22 Fantastic Four #102-104 Yellow Claw #2 Amazing Adult Fantasy #14 Amazing Adventures #11-17 Amazing Spider-Man #92 Marvel Team-Up #4 Incredible Hulk #150, 161 The covers from X-Men #67-93
This X-Men: the Hidden Years Omnibus would be around 900 pages. I wonder if someone at Marvel may already have thought of this and has it planned, even without a specific release date in mind. It seems like too good of a collection to not do!

Did I do enough AVENGERS to make an omnibus? Or is this Marvel diluting the term as they did with "graphic novel"?

I believe it's the Avengers and West Coast Avengers/Avengers West Coast material with the last of the nebula issues that Fabian Nicezia scripted included (otherwise you'd have a broken story)

I wonder how all those retailers who maintain that my stuff "doesn't sell" make out with these very expensive books.
