I have found a Hachette Complete X-Men Collection so I've subscribed for 4 issues to see what its like! Clearly going to be another case of collecting the same stories with new cover art

Another opportunity to buy Jim Lee X-Men 1 Andu!
I'll be interested to know how this progresses just in case anything I need comes up.

Another opportunity to buy Jim Lee X-Men 1 Andu! But I'm guessing only his... third (?) copy of the recoloured version? Martin |

Let me see.
Yes, I think the third.

The two hardback omnibuses containing the original and the recolour are enough for me.

There could be exciting bonus content...

There could be exciting bonus content... If they're lying about that you can demand your £1.99 back. Ooh! Ooh! Maybe it'll have printing errors in issue #1, and then you can get the corrected version for free and you'll have two new editions of the story! Martin |

Did you go Premium?

I'd love to do this. But I can't do yet another hachette collection. I just don't have anywhere for it to go.

Post by Andy Turnbull on Mar 12, 2019 8:42:53 GMT
Yes I did. Mostly for the Steranko and Adams issues later on in a nice hardcover.

So this is likely another test then methinks, along the lines of the Avengers one. With the second Marvel series finishing at the end of last year it makes sense for Hachette to see what brand would do best. Anyways, if it's just a test you can expect the four issues to turn up eventually for free.
I've always stayed away from the Marvel collections as I have Marvel Unlimited.
EDIT: Interesting to note there are eight premium books in this collection as apposed to the more common four prints/statues/Oversized BW:Murderer.
…and the bookends are different for a change too!

I think this will run, if the Deadpool one runs surely this is popular enough

I hope so, be interesting to see what they do with X-Men, how many ancillary titles and events get put into the run.

Hmmm. The bonus books with the premium sub appeal to me more than the main sub! The bonus books form a nice complete set of 'interesting' material that has a certain charm. -Ralph |

Its not a Complete X-Men Collection though and looks to be mainly Uncanny X Men from Issue 94 and X Men Volume 2 with tie in issues from other X-titles. Looks like 60 issues but I'd say it would be at least 80 with an average 7 issues in each volume so around 500 issues ?
I would like to know whats included in the collection I'm guessing most of the big major X-Overs are spread over 2 or 3 volumes.
