Article Summary

Spider-Man By Joe Kelly Omnibus launch pushed to 2025, originally set for 2023.
Collection teases iconic villains and a Spider-Man/Black Cat reunion.
Delays might be tied to narrative similarities with Zeb Wells' stories.
In contrast, other Marvel omnibuses have seen earlier rescheduled dates.

The Spider-Man By Joe Kelly Omnibus was originally announced in 2022 to be published in July 2023. But it wasn't, and orders were cancelled. It has now been delayed until January 2025. If you wondered why it wasn't on shelves… it's a shame, because a collection including Spider-Man going up against the crime bosses of New York, including Hammerhead and Mister Negative, as well as getting back together with the Black Cat, as well as Kravevn back on the hunt might be well timed right now. Unless Joe Kelly's stories would be seen as too similar to Zeb Wells' most recent stories? But some of the stories were by Zeb Wells as well… it's a mystery.

Other cancelled Omnibuses have been rescheduled sooner... Star Wars Legends: The Empire Omnibus Vol 2 came out in October, Ultimate X-Men Omnibus Vol 2 in February 2024, X-Factor By Peter David Omnibus Vol 3 in March 2024, but Spider-Man By Joe Kelly Omnibus is the only one of them to be pushed into an entirely new year.
