There was a thread back in December about this but it's now locked.
AVENGERS BY JOHN BYRNE OMNIBUS HC
Written by JOHN BYRNE, FABIAN NICIEZA, DANNY FINGEROTH, ROY THOMAS, DANN THOMAS,
MARK GRUENWALD, MICHAEL HIGGINS & MORE
Penciled by JOHN BYRNE, TOM MORGAN, GARY HARTLE, PAUL RYAN, MARK BAGLEY, RON WILSON & MORE
Cover by JOHN BYRNE
Earth's Mightiest Heroes by one of comics' biggest names! John Byrne transforms the West Coast Avengers as the dismantling of the Vision sets the android's bewitching wife, Wanda Maximoff, down a path that is far darker than scarlet! On the East Coast, Byrne steers the Avengers through attack by the Lava Men and into the Negative Zone in search of the Eternals! Then along comes a spider as a friendly neighborhood wall-crawler joins the Assemblers on a journey to the stars! But what is Immortus's ultimate plan? From the Evolutionary War to Acts of Vengeance and more, it's an eventful volume filled with epic tales written and/or drawn by Byrne! Collecting WEST COAST AVENGERS (1985) #42-46, AVENGERS WEST COAST #47-62 and ANNUAL #4, AVENGERS (1963) #305-318 and ANNUAL #18, and material from AVENGERS SPOTLIGHT #23 and WHAT THE--?! #6.
992 PGS./Rated T ...$100.00
ISBN: 978-1-302-90057-1
Trim size: oversized
The cover price is $100 but www.instocktrades.com is offering it as one of the deals of the week at 50% off, or $50, which qualifies for free shipping! It's not a bad price at all for over 37 books. That price should remain until Tuesday, after which it will probably still be at least 42% off. Highly recommended especially to those who haven't read these stories already! It would be nice if JB's earlier Avengers run was included as well. That run was included in the Marvel Universe by John Byrne Omnibus. I'm guessing at the time that one was being devised, the idea of a John Byrne Avengers Omnibus hadn't been thought of, or else it would have made more sense to hold back those Avengers issues for this one.

Great! I've been checking instocktrades over the last few
weeks, but hadn't checked in the last few days. Heading
over there now to place an order!

Thanks for the heads-up, Brandon - I missed it in the new release thread. JB's Avengers West Coast work is excellent - glad to see it all collected together in the Omnibus format.

Ah, JB's way-too-short AVENGERS WEST COAST run. For me, it was enjoyable reading the Vision Quest storyline, the return of the original Human Torch as well as Wanda's evil turn and reunion with her father and brother. JB's sub-plot with Tigra was interesting but sadly not finished by JB… I don't even recall how it ended up as I bailed out when JB left.
-C!

I didn't realize this one was coming so quickly after the Marvel Universe Omnibus by JB. Ordered and on its way!
If I were to pick the next Marvel reprint project, I'd love to see a covers volume of JB's work. I know, I know. Most are in the other books, but it would be nice to have them all together. Starting with Jungle Action #23 (Sept 1976) and going through X-Men Hidden Years (Sept 2001), that's over 400 covers! It does make me sad that it's been 15 years that an original JB cover has graced a Marvel book.

This book has been listed as Top Seller #1 on the www.instocktrades.com site for over a week now!
I received my copy last week. Besides the listed issues, there is also some bonus material from Marvel Age, Official Marvel Handbook pages, house ads, trade paperback covers, and more. In case anyone was wondering, the issues are presented in somewhat chronological order, with the Avengers and West Coast Avengers issues mixed. It's not quite one of one, then one of the other (at least until Acts of Vengeance), but more like several issues of one, then several of the other, usually alternating between storylines.

I want this and the Alpha Flight Omnibus, but I just can't swing them right now
—with school starting soon and the requisite expenditures. Keeping them in
mind, though...
