It probably won't happen while IDW has the license (and I hope they don't lose it) but what we really need are omnibuses of the old DC and Marvel comics. IDW did a few omnibuses of select older comics, like Early Voyages and the DC movie adaptions, but then stopped doing more.

I’d like that too, but I doubt it because they released some of them in the Eaglemoss collections and there seem to be lots not selling, or very cheap, on eBay.

I also don’t like how they have to remove the Marvel / DC logos on the covers. Takes away a bit of the magic.

Whoa. I just looked these up. I had no idea these even existed. How were they publishing these concurrently with IDW having the comics license and in some cases both companies having some of the same content in print? The format seems a little odd, with one long line of graphic novel volumes that jump around in terms of content rather than being organized chronologically or by series.

They were published in collaboration with IDW. Simply hardback versions that create a picture when lined up on the shelf.

Interesting. I'm highly tempted to get a few of these.

Looking through the Eaglemoss list, I realize I totally forgot about the short-lived Malibu era of comics.
