In the 1970s, writer Steve Gerber revolutionized comics. His innovative work on MAN-THING, DEFENDERS and HOWARD THE DUCK opened creative avenues that excited readers and inspired a generation of creators. So when Marvel announced an all-new character co-created by Gerber, anticipation rose to a fever pitch! OMEGA THE UNKNOWN debuted in late 1975, featuring an enigmatic approach to one of the most compelling stories: the stranger in a strange land. James-Michael Starling, a boy with a mysterious past, holds a curious connection to the super-powered being known as Omega. Their quest to understand the gritty world of New York City reveals as much about us as it does them. As the pair’s secrets are uncovered and the action unfolds in the Marvel manner, you’ll come to understand why OMEGA holds a place as one of the most influential series of its time! Collecting OMEGA THE UNKNOWN (1976) #1-10 and DEFENDERS (1972) #76-77.

Marvel announces a reprinting of its seminal crossover with the ultimate atomic monster, Godzilla. Originally released in 1977, Godzilla saw the House of Ideas publishing stories about the giant kaiju as it rises from the seas of the Marvel Universe. Godzilla would go on to battle a wide range of heroes like the Avengers, Fantastic Four, and the Champions. Now, Marvel and Toho have partnered to bring it back into print with a new collection, the Godzilla: The Original Marvel Years Omnibus , collecting the stories written by Doug Moench and artist Herb Trimpe.
When the collection hits shelves in October, it will coincide with Godzilla’s 70th anniversary, and spotlight his various fights with the Marvel heroes. Monsters, aliens, mutants, and more offer new challenges for the atomic lizard. The main cover for the collection comes from Junggeun Yoon, while the two variant covers feature iconic covers from interior artist Trimpe.
All three covers and a detailed synopsis can be seen below:
Godzilla rises from the depths in the United States — and the Marvel Universe! See the towering scourge of Tokyo march across America and battle some of the best and brightest the House of Ideas had to offer, including the Fantastic Four, the Avengers, the Champions, Nick Fury and the mechanized monster fighter, Red Ronin! Godzilla goes west, travels through time to battle Devil Dinosaur, and hosts one of Spider-Man’s most gratuitous guest-shots ever — but when Godzilla is shrunk down to miniature size, the terrible titan proves it can still be a tiny terror! Plus: Aliens, mutants, mad scientists and epic kaiju clashes with Godzilla’s fellow towering titans — including Batragon and Yetrigar!

Les Omni de 1300 pages à moins de 100€, ce n’est pas le même ratio de pages qu’un Epic Collection de 300 pages à 50$. La vache, je préfère encore me refaire des runs en Omni, surtout quand j’arrive à les choper un poil en dessous du prix cover. J’ai pu faire ça avec les deux omni du run Buziek/Perez sur Avengers, ou sur celui de Byrne sur les FF et She-Hulk.
Epic Collection était jusque-là mon format préféré en tpb vo (avec les intégrales de Panini en vf, ça doit être la collection dont j’ai le plus d’exemplaires ici). Mais là, je vais compléter autrement.
