Another puny offering is Captain America Lives! Omnibus for January at 456 pages in the US, Canada and UK with cover prices of $65, $73 and £49.99 collecting 16 issues. The solicitation reads;

Evil undersea monarchs Ghaur and Llyra are determined to bring the elder god Set to Earth, and no one on the surface world will stop them! Seven mortal women-including the Invisible Women, She-Hulk and Marvel Girl-have been selected to act as the brides of Set's snake heads, and the ensuing conflict will spread to nearly every hero on Earth, from the Avengers to Quasar to the Punisher to the X-Men to the Fantastic Four!

X-Men Omnibus Volume 2 is a bit better with 912 pages. No details, but one could guess that it runs from issue 32 to 66, before the book went into reprint. Available in the US, Canada and the UK with only the latter's cover price named at £75 but one could guess $100 and $113 for the first two.

And the X-Men: Fall Of The Mutants Omnibus could well take in all issues of that X-Men crossover than spun out into all sorts of Marvel titles at 824 pages, available in the US, Canada and UK at cover prices of $100, $113 and £75.
