Secret Wars from Marvel (1984-85) was one of the series that got me hooked on comics. it was massive in every sense of the word. It was 12 issue event full of super-heroes and super-villains, cliffhangers and wonder, a cosmic being that could destroy everything with the snap of a finger and, of course, costume changes. It also had lasting impact not only in the comic book industry, but with fanboys worldwide. It was something special and today we celebrate Secret Wars with a look at the newly released Omnibus. We also take a look at the upcoming Secret Wars II Omnibus, the Beyond! Premiere Hardcover and what isn’t and, more importantly, what couldn’t be collected for these great books.
Also on the show, a quick look at the 2008 Top 10 Graphic Novels and Trade Paperbacks (Collected Editions), Marvel Premiere Classics corrections and a question: How should Marvel collect the 5-page Spider-Man/Barack Obama back-up from Amazing Spider-Man #583?
All this and the New Releases of the Week.

great episode chris as usual.
too bad those omnibus editions cost so much dough.
especially in canada.
but the memories, ah the memories. secret wars.
when crossovers made sense.
I think Tomorrows should do a collection of Presidents in comics from FDR to Obama. The less W. the better the collection would be from the worst President since Nixon in my opinion (and around 75 percent of everyone else in America only hardcore GOP likes what W. does). Have it come out in 8 years (hopefully) when his 2nd term ends should Obama get a 2nd term to have proper prospective on the book. Also I think it would be in Marvel’s best interest to have the Obama 5 page story collected in the next spidey HC & trade as a bonus (w/o a price increase in the trade or HC). 75 bucks (or higher) for a variant is a bit much.
