Does anyone have a copy? Did they put #0 first? Didn't #0 come last?

Hi Tim,
I have a copy, just leafing thru it now.
Great to have the whole series collected at last!
Issue #0 is located between #6 and #7 in the TPB. I assume it fits in there, storywise,(?) it`s been too long since I read it to remember, off the top of my head.
Off to enjoy my early Xmas present to myself,
Cheers!

Thank you - I don't have the issues in front of me, so I'm not sure how the story flows by putting it in between #6 and #7. I'm just glad that it starts with issue #1 - that issue really grabs you. I want to give this book as a gift, and how the book starts makes a difference to new readers. I would like it to reflect how JB intended.
A strong kick-off is why I wanted the JB Fantastic Four Omnibus to start with #232 - that issue really grabs you and the stories don't let up until the end of JB's solo run.

Got my copy of NEXT MEN: SCATTERED VOL. 2 yesterday. Really love the way IDW handled JB's work in both volumes.

I think Santa knows that JB is my favourite artist...

Even the Spider-man Omni has JB art in as does the Marvel wallet I bought! :)

My Chapter One arrived yesterday, looks nice after an initial viewing. It's been a while since I've read this, so it'll be almost like reading a new story again.
The price is listed as $34.99. Seems kind of expensive for a TPB. I only paid about $21 on Amazon, which seems a more reasonable price to me. The bigger price seems like more of a hardcover pricing. Just an observation.

Bringing back the list! Please let me know if I have missed anything.
Updated with today's release of JB's full STAR TREK run in hardcover For those who don't follow Star Trek or the Star Trek section of the forum, this collection is well worth picking up:
And coming soon...
The High Ways, JB's Fantastic Four Artist's Edition, JB's Fantastic Four Omnibus Volume 2, and the long awaited Superman: Man of Steel Volume 8

For those who don't follow Star Trek or the Star Trek section of the forum, this collection is well worth picking up…•• To underscore Tim's words, you don't need to be a TREK fan to read these stories. There are extra layers and "Easter Eggs" if you ARE, but they are unrelated to the direct telling of the stories.

I think the Star Trek stories being so accessible were a big plus in
reading them. Kind of the same way with the Angel books that JB did.
There was a character I had almost literally zero knowledge about and
yet JB got me sucked into the story and invested in the character.

Anyone who read JB's STAR TREK knows that he hit his modern sci-fi groove with these titles, and that solid storytelling is on full display with THE HIGH WAYS and DOOMSDAY.1. The reviews on these recent titles are very good and it seems like news to some of the readers, but it is nothing new for those of us who read JB's STAR TREK. Pick up this edition if you haven't read it - it's a beaut!

Updating the main list on page one, I pulled this one off the shelf to double check the bonus material for the listing:
I pulled it off the shelf and ended up reading the whole damn thing. If you can get your hands on this one, grab it. It is a fantastic thriller with amazing art. The opening pages do not have dialogue and reminded me of JB's "silent" issue of "Many Deaths of the Batman"
The alternate covers are wild designs, and IDW published the penciled breakdowns for all of issue #1. Excellent bonus feature and a cool window into JB's creative process.
Highly recommended - a great read!
