22 pages and all of the legal paperwork about the trademark.
The sad thing is, I'd buy this for the paperwork. I find behind the scenes drama and legal wrangling in this industry fascinating for some reason.

That's the MSRP of course.
I don't know anyone who reads this medium and ever pays full MSRP for a floppy TPB to HC Omnibus---anyone.

It'll be discounted at various online places in varying manners most likely.
I shop instocktrades.com more times than not. Their shipping is phenomonal. The discount for VEI books is usually 35-42% off but this is their first OMNI. Instock OMNIS for Marvel & DC first week of release is 50%, be curious if it is for Q&W.
I just grabbed the Big Damn Sin City book. for 59$. MSRP 100$. It has 1360 pages. these fat books always seem worth it to me :D

I'm getting it to encourage Omni's on characters/titles I do appreciate. It's a financial sacrifice bunt on my part to get what I want latter.

Assuming the GK3 are off limits then.

Harbinger: #1-25 vol.1 then vol.2 #26-42 + Harada Files
Archer & Armstrong all 27 issues
Eternal Warrior: 2 volumes with #0 and Yearbooks spread in there. Also, Wings of Justice
Shadowman: vol.1 #0-21+Yearbook then vol.2 #22-43 + Darque Passages one shot
HARD Corps: all 30 issues in one volume
RAI +Future Force: #0-33, all one volume

If this happens I'll be as happy as a pig in slop. Then smaller runs like Ivar, Timewalker & Dr.Mirage can be done in one volume sets as well.
Great summary there. I can see all of those eventually. How would you split up VH1 XO?
Can't believe I neglected X-O
I'm seeing 3 volumes
vol.1: #0, 1/2, 1-23
vol.2: #24-47
vol.3: #48-68 + Iron Man/X-O (if possible) and pin up pages.

I think Marz run ended at #50 and toyed w/putting those last few in vol.2 but that makes vol.3 a bit too short.

There's Fist and Steel to add to EW Volume 2.

Considering that Omnibi of the GK3 will probably not be possible in the near future, including some key issues from those series as part of other books might make sense:
• Rai could also have Magnus 5-8
• Eternal Warrior could have applicable issues of Solar (10-11?) with first appearance
• Harbinger could have Harada's first appearance from Solar 3.
If you're not a *SQUEE*, you're okay with me.

This is a great question, why wouldn't they give those unpublished issues. Doing so would help to drive sales.
