MARVEL EPIC COLLECTION FAQ #3: What is NOT Included in an Epic Collection Volume?

Epics really seem like they collect everything, right? But what don't they collect and why? Let's take a look at some of the omissions.

Another great video. The black and white Iron Fist stories are from Deadly Hands of Kung Fu, not Master of Kung Fu, and can be found in Iron Fist: Deadly Hands of Kung Fu Complete Collection. Strange we haven't got the black and white Shang-Chi stories collected yet (apart from in the omnibus).

Whoops! Yes, that is totally what I meant! Thanks for the correction!

First? Anyway, great video as always. Question, do you think Marvel is gonna put the old Aliens, Predator, & Aliens vs. Predator comics in Epics after they release them in omnis like they did Conan?

I'm guessing The Thing and Doc Savage Two-In-One, Team-Up issue will be skipped in the Epics as well.

You're doing a fantastic job Kurtis 👍 this one was immensely detailed, love your passion for the epic collections and all of your insight 🙏

Also, the Epic Collection Black Panther Panther's Prey (Vol 3) has a Parental Advisary warning as well.

Great job as always Kurtis. Love Epic collections. One quibble I do have with the Epics is that they sometimes omit team up stories from Marvel Team-Up and Marvel Two-In -One. Black Widow is the first example that springs to mind. We did get the Black Widow Marvel Team-Up trade to fill in the gaps but considering the page count of the Widow Epics (especially #1) and the dearth of Widow content for the Epics to reprint this seems like a real shame. Also, I want my Epics to be a complete as possible. Still love Epics but the omissions irk me.

Yeah, the jump from volume one to two is so huge. Would have been nice to have some more in the middle. Maybe highlights from her Daredevil and Champions years?

This was awesome. I love these FAQ vids

Epics 101 class by Kurtis. Great job! Do you have a reading schedule of what you are currently reading or in the future?

[@conroyjett]

Thanks. Great info!!!

[@drock6287]

Very informative video. Thanks

Great video Kurt. I'm guessing the Spectacular or Web of spider-Man Epics will skip the Maximum Carnage or Kaven's Last Hunt issues, because unlike the Avengers Operation Galactic Storm, the storylines would focus on the same character.

Epic just Epic ❤️

Great video, the only mistake is you said that maximum carnage has 19 parts which is a mistake. Its 14 parts. I didn't know about mutant genesis not including all the parts for king of pain.

We need more Kurtis!
