I'd be surprised if Alpha Flight is not included. I've never read the Furman issues. Were they ever traded?

I doubt it, I'm not sure much beyond Byrne has ever been collected?
I didn't keep up with the GR legal issues but I thought they had been resolved. Marvel treated Friedrich really badly over that.
I'm not sure how interested I would really be in reading classic GR, but I do have some curiosity over what Uncle Bob did in the title so that would be one Epic I'd be looking at picking up. Though maybe those back issues are cheap anyway...

Oh dear, that Ms Marvel volume is rather thin - 17 x 17 page issues. Glad I didn't pay too much for it

Conan Chronicles Epics are the Dark Horse material, in issue release order. Dark Horse released the same material just before losing the licence as Conan Omnibus, but in a chronological story order.

Has Mantlo Hulk been Epic'd yet? That's what I want and missed the trades of a few years ago.

No, and it's relatively recent trading, paired with Masterworks approaching that territory, probably means it's some way down the list.
I will look and see if the previous trades can be had cheap.
The later Hulk Epics seem to be proceeding in order and we think there's two more to go, prob early 2020 and early 2021 - with volumes towards the front of the run in the autumn. What happens after that might be interesting....

wow! I'd be tempted to move mine on at those prices, but I got them remaindered so they have that annoying black marker spot on the top edge.
That said, my current online comic retailer of choice has two of the three in stock at normal prices - €24.99 - €29.99 (they are missing Crossroads).

Excalibur Epic v3 arrived today. Doesn't look amazing but there's a Furman/Hitch She Hulk story featuring the team in here which I've not read before....

Furman tale was a bit of fun. Never noticed that 37-39 was a tryptch. I did like those three issues as I've always had a bit of a soft spot for Mark Badger's work. Covers are laid out side by side towards the end of Epic 3.31-34 were in Excalibur Classic 5, which I read quite recently thanks to a Comixology sale. Trying to get the urge to read the rest as I recall this period being not great for story or art. They did a fair few specials around now didn't they? From memory, none of them any good. Tales off when Alan Davis is back in the chair. I noticed a "Justin Thyme" down as the co-artist on one of these which is never a good sign. While I can see the argument that a monthly should be monthly, surely you can wait for a special to be finished? Unless I've missed a crossover, I make the next volume 42-60, with 50 being Giant Size.

Next volume will have the last Excalibur Special XX Crossing - the one where they tackle the original X-Men, early Joe Madureira art in the Nightcrawler chapter and cover.

If the Epics ever end and Phil gets them all then with the final purchase I forsee a 'Nine Billion Names of God' situation!

Iron Man Epic Collection: The Return of the Ghost: odd placement of Crash at the front of the book instead of at the back, with the Marvel Fanfare, as "out of current chronology" pieces.
Slightly worried about reading this volume cos I know I dumped the Iron Man comics at the end of it!
