Marvel Epic Collection: The 2026 Release Schedule

Everybody is not collecting costly omnibuses and Marvel Comics knows that. That’s why the House of Ideas launched, in 2013, the more affordable Marvel Epic Collection. This collection of trade paperbacks reprints large parts of Marvel Comics’ back catalog in chronological order. 

Each Epic Collection is focused on a specific character, team, or title–popular ones like Spider-Man, X-Men, Avengers, Fantastic Four, and lesser-known characters like Moon Knight and Iron Fist–, presenting the stories in the order they were originally published and, unlike some other collected editions, these books don’t rely on being read in sequential order.

A single volume might contain 20-30 issues of a comic, including main series issues, annuals, tie-ins, and sometimes related series that add to the storyline, offering a comprehensive block of stories, and making it easy to jump into a character or series without needing previous volumes. This helps with the fact they are not published in strict chronological order, meaning a volume released this year might cover the 1960s, while another might focus on the 1980s. Over time, the line is designed to fill in all the gaps.

Sadly, these books may be affordable, but they are not printed in large quantities. It’s too easy to miss out on a new one. We will try to list here what’s coming, what’s already published, and if there are reprints.
