Just throwing around some ideas of what I would like to see Omnibused or what would make me part with my money fast. The Simonson Thor thread led me to pondering (very deeply.... at least for a hobbit) of just what I want.
My general rule for Omnibus purchases is I won't buy an Omni of comics already Masterworked or soon (within a few years) will be. As such I have TOD 1&2, Eternals, Captain Britain, Devil Dinosaur, IronFist, Amazing Fantasy, Captain America 1&2, Wolverine, and Astonishing X-Men
With that being the rule it leaves the Simoson run, Byrne F.F, Miller D.D. (missed it the first time), Sterne Spider-Man fair game. Although the TPBs of said runs have sated my appetite and as such eased my desire to have this material omnibused (although I would still buy them) as opposed to material never collected. Liscensed properties are a thorny issue so I will put them on a seperate list, although with the chances of Masterworks of this material ZERO they would probably take precedence over any and alll of the above listed runs.
Another issue is the runs collected in OHC such as Avenger's Assemble, War of Kings etc. If these are complete enough, of high enough quality, I would lean toward sticking with them. It would have to be a major upgrade to repurchase Avengers Assemble or Earth's mightiest heroes in Omnibus form.
In the case of the cross-over events, the OHCs are no where near complete enough. The Omnibus is an ideal way to collect such events as Civil War, Secret Invasion, and the like....with the caveat they must be complete or nearly so. Just collecting the Civil War trades would not qualify as complete. I would want the relevent issues of Cap, Iron-Man, Avengers etc.
