Our attempt to decide how Marvel should ideally collect all of Thor comics in omnibus format continues, with all the Silver Age and Bronze Age material already covered in the first part. Thankfully, things get much easier to work out from here: after Simonson, whose work on Thor received a dedicated omnibus
Omnibussin: Give Thor Some Love (and Thunder), Part 1
Thor’s had knockout run after knockout run in comics for the last several years, and with the release of the upcoming Thor: Love and Thunder film this will be the first character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to get a fourth solo film. So, with interest in Thor at an all-time high, it’s the perfect time for Marvel’s publishing arm to give Thor some more love (and thunder) in the omnibus department, and our aim today is to ascertain just how they should go about it!

Doctor Doom: The Book of Doom Omnibus Review!
It isn’t controversial to say that Doctor Doom is Marvel’s best villain. And if it is, Doom will end that nonsense talk real quick. He was Marvel’s first big villain! He was Marvel’s Darth Vader years before Star Wars was a gleam in George Lucas’ eyes! He’s three-dimensional!—figuratively speaking, at any rate. He is Victor von Doom: king of Latveria, son of the Roma, sorcerer and scientific genius, and much more. So it’s no wonder that, when Marvel decided to put together omnibuses centered on supervillains, despite them not usually having a title of their own, Doom was amongst the first to get the treatment (second only to that slippery snake from Asgard, Loki; but, if you value your life, don’t remind Doom of that.) Marvel titled this omnibus Doctor Doom: The Book of Doom

With Moon Knight arriving in Disney+ in a few weeks, another aspect of the Fist of Khonshu is coming with him: Mr. Knight! It’s even a big part of the show’s marketing! This shouldn’t surprise anybody familiar with the character (though I admit I was pleasantly surprised myself): despite it being quite a recent creation, Marc Spector’s “Mr. Knight” guise has become so deeply ingrained in the Moon Knight mythos that it’d be difficult to imagine a Moon Knight story without it anymore. Interestingly enough, those recent runs of Moon Knight comics are the ones we’re dealing with in today’s Omnibussin’ (synergy!), as—despite their definitive reinvention of the character and obvious influence on the adaptation—none of them have been turned into Marvel omnibuses.

Omnibussin: Moon Knight, Mapped Right!
Has there ever been a better time to be into Marvel’s own lunar-inclined vigilante? Since mid-2021, Jed MacKay and Alessandro Cappuccio have been dazzling us every month with their superb run
