I'm afraid I don't know. Seems to be going oop pretty quickly.

Does anybody have any insight on if Marvel will be keeping these collections in print or what the plan is? It seems like Volume 2 might be OOP and they have a paperback collection due out at the end of the month that just collects the the first few Dark Horse stories with Hicks and Newt.

@Corporal Hicks  any ideas? Sorry to tag if not cool.

I was weighing the difference between spending the money and having to cut back on other things vs. possibly missing out on them when I've already got the first two Aliens books. (Add to which I've been privately telling myself for years that I'd only start collecting the comics if someone did convenient, properly comprehensive collections of everything, and these are those.) In the end I decided I'd be pissed off if I didn't have them.

Probably didn't need to order all three in one go, but that's alcohol for you. Don't drink and online shop, kids!

I can just imagine you angrily smashing that keyboard, yelling "That's right, I wanna make that bloody order !!!"

Quote from: HuDaFuK on Dec 30, 2022, 10:09:04 PMAny idea how limited these things are gonna be? I don't really wanna splurge on volume 3 right now, but I notice volume 2's already showing as out of stock on UK Amazon and I don't wanna miss out.

Anyone able to say whether these sort of things are normally quite limited runs with Marvel?

Not sure...
But something I've noticed with volume 3 and the predator volume that just came out is that the smaller online stores have started posting "special order only" next to the DM covers. So I suspect they (marvel) are printing fewer of them now than they did with aliens volume 1 and 2.

I've only had the DM cover for Volume 1. I've actually quite liked the new artwork for both 2 and 3 so far.

I've gone with the DM covers for all of them so far including Predator but going with the Dead Orbit one for Vol. 4. Always liked that piece of art.

I picked mine up just before Christmas! They are brilliant looking volumes!

Mine arrived just before Christmas. They really are impressive collections and each one has had at least one first time reading for me.

Looking forward to the Predator omnibus.

This one has them for $75 pretty consistently. Plus shipping adds another $5, but it's still one of the better deals I've seen around...

Looks like you can pre-order the first volume of the "epic collection" here for about $24 too.

Quote from: Prez on Sep 07, 2022, 07:43:25 AMI wouldn't mind buying these omnibus' but man, they are sure damn expensive. Always wished I got to complete my original DH omnibus volumes too (missing number 4 & 5).

If you shop around you can find online stores that sell these omnibus for a lot cheaper. I got volume 1, about a year after release, with the Nelson cover for $75 brand new. Then I got volume 2, also the alternate cover and brand new, for $43 (that's not a typo; it really was about 65% off). I just bought volume 3, brand new alternate cover, two days ago for about $77.


When they release volume 4, that should finish collecting all of the dark horse comics. But being honest, I wish they'd keep going with a volume 5 and collect the alternate versions of these comics too, like the original black and white versions of all of the comics that were eventually colorized, and the Wilks/Billie remastered comics.

Thanks man. May I ask what sites you use?

Ordered this from my local book store and it should be here before Christmas. I haven't read anything from the late 90's era, to the point I was actually shocked to learn Eduardo Risso drew the Resurrection adaptation as one of his earliest gigs.
