    Default Marvel Premiere Classics Line

    I already posted this thread in the Marvel Universe section, but it has not had any response, so I thought I'd try it here.

    Firstly I have to say, when it debuted, I was not a fan of the Premiere Hardcover Format. In fact, I'm still not keen on it for new story arcs. However I think it works really well for the Premiere Classics line that Marvel has started over the last few months.
    So far we have had (or have coming):
    Spider-Man: Kraven's Last Hunt
    Wolverine: Origin
    Wolverine (Original Claremont/Miller Mini)
    and Spider-Man: Death Of The Stacy's

    I was wondering what other people thought of these collections and what titles they would like to see released in this format in the future.

    For what it's worth, I would like to see:

    Daredevil: Born Again
    Daredevil: Man Without Fear
    X-Men: Days Of Future Past
    Iron Man: Devil In A Bottle
    Hulk: Future Imperfect
    Secret Wars (Split over two volumes)

    I'm sure that there are plenty of other great storylines that I'm forgetting right now, what do you want to see?

    Not that I would buy it, but how about the Kree-Skrull War from Avengers? And the Thanos/Cosmic Cube story that ran through several titles and concluded in an Avengers annual?

    Jim Starlin's Warlock (as long as they color it properly, not like the "Special Edition" from the 80s).

    The Headmen/Nebulon storyline from The Defenders.

    There's a nice run of Man-Thing, starting with Fear #19, including the introduction of the Foolkiller, and concluding with the clown story, that would make a nice HC, but it's not really thematically connected.

    Alternatively, the end of Gerber's run on Man-Thing would make a nice collection, too, starting with the Viking/book-burning storyline, Richard Rory's unwitting kidnapping of a minor, and the final confrontation with Thog the Nether-Spawn.

    Speaking of which, the Foolkiller mini from the early 90s would be a nice candidate, since there's supposedly a new Foolkiller series in the works. (Me, I'm still waiting for the new Omega the Unknown series, but at least we got a paperback reprint of the original!).

    I'm just bitter that this project has nothing to do with what I thought it was. I thought Marvel was gathering up all the non-starter characters from books like the original Premiere and Spotlight that didn't have the page-count for individual Essentials and giving them a combined one of their own.

    That said, I'd be on board for the Defenders Headmen collection thing.

    I thought they had said that they were planning on doing exactly that soon? Releasing some future combined Essential volumes featuring characters who were too short lived for a whole volume to themselves.
    Then again, maybe I just dreamed it.

    As an addition to the ones I mentioned earlier, what about Death Of Captain Marvel?
