I've gradually been filling a large bookcase with Omnibuses in recent years. In short, I'm pretty much covered for the classic Marvel 60's output (plus the various JB volumes of Alpha Flight, FF etc and Miller's DD, among others).
It's only in trying to revisit the beloved titles of my youth that I'm finding 'gaps' in what is currently available.
We have two volumes of the 90's GHOST RIDER (Danny Ketch) but none of GR's first foray.
What's up with that?

I've given up trying to make sense of how they decide on which volumes to collect in omnibus format. Sales alone can't be a deciding factor, because a JB Superman omnibus is so sought after it would sell out in a heartbeat, yet it's nowhere to be seen.

I don’t think you could do a JB single volume omnibus. There are too many
issues. There are 4 omnibuses that were published in the past couple of
years though.

We are long overdue for a collected edition of FOOM.

Forgive me for the thread drift, but is there an easy reference list out there of all the Marvel Omnibuses? Does DC do something similar? I am making my way through the Avengers Omnibuses (which apparently has ended at 5) and really enjoying it.

No, but a Volume 1 would be a start. What annoys me is that they've done an EXILES omnibus, which picks up directly after JB left the Superman books! Now they're doing the "Triangle years".

I don't know what defines "omnibus", but those Superman
volumes (which are wonderful) are *much* smaller than, say,
JB's collected FF and AF editions, or Walt's Thor.

True, an issue count shows they are about half the size.
I wonder why DC does not issue its omnibus editions in digital format like
Marvel does. Frustrating.
