Think I have all this except from Marvel Preview 11 but still an instant purchase for me. I want all of JB's work in glorious hardback collections.

This is a must have!

FYI, Bleeding Cool states the retail price will be $125 and that it is due
in April.

I'm in!  I love these big collections. I have both of the FF and recently purchased the Alpha Flight collections -- my first time reading thru either of these runs. 

I'm excited that this book will collect most of what I haven't read!

…the retail price will be $125…

••

I wonder what it actually costs to produce?

...

Unfortunately Bleeding Cool is showing the George Perez cover from 
Avengers #181 next to the article. I'm sure they could have found a cool
JB shot to use.

Excellent news! I really like that they are publishing a JB omnibus with this material.

My brother had Marvel Premiere #47-48, and I really liked JB's art on that Ant-Man story. I hadn't read it in years, and recently revisited it by buying digital copies of the issues. Great stuff and I look forward to reading it in print when this edition comes out.

Since things like Namor, Sensational She-Hulk, West Coast Avengers, and X-Men: The Hidden Years ran too long to go in a "miscellaneous" collection, I'm not sure what could go into a second volume of this.  New Mutants #75, various What The? shorts, Star Brand, Indiana Jones...but maybe if enough people buy this one, Marvel will figure something out.

Great collection!

I have reprints of most of it, but the Power Man/Iron Fist is more than welcome (I would have to buy a TPB with A LOT of uninteresting content to get it).

They should have included the two-part Daredevil/Ghost Rider story. That's another one that we need to buy compilations with lots of uninteresting stuff to have...

Having all the Avengers stories in one place will be grat. Also the Ant-Man and Silver Surfer stories are very much worth it. The Champions, Captain America and Wolverine runs I have on TPB, so they will be a bonus.

I'll probably sell a few redundant books after that (as I intend to do with my FF Visionaries). I need the space!

I keep going back to the phrase "...one of the most successful comic creators in history..." What's their yardstick, I wonder (assuming it to be something more than hyperbole)?

Wallace,

Alpha Flight was mentioned in the book's solicitation, so I lumped that in with the "off the table" stuff like Fantastic Four and X-Men, which ran much too long to be included in an "odds and ends" collection.  Same probably applies to the late nineties Amazing Spider-Man plus Chapter One, which was about 30 books altogether.
