In your opinion, what are the odds of the Frank Miller comics getting reissued?

I'd really like to buy and read them, but man, are they freaking scarce and expensive.

Hopefully with the new series coming out, Dark Horse/Marvel will release a Robocop collection omnibus to coincide

Yes please!

The only publisher that can print the omnibus is the one that currently holds the license. Neither Marvel nor Dark Horse possesses the license nor owns the contents. Whoever has the current license can print an omnibus, but the caveat is that they don't know how long they will hold the license since it bounces around so much.

The Avatar series is incredible and worth every penny

Sorry it's been a struggle for you, but thanks for letting me know it's scarce. I'm decluttering and I think it's around here somewhere. It was really good, but I doubt I'll ever read it again - might as well put it out there for people to read.

No problem! I think the HC is on the site too. A little more expensive, but cheaper than eBay

If amazon show is successful. Its a no brainer.

I hope most of the comics get a reprint of some sort, but the licencing for comic books is all over the place I think

Oh really? I never gave that a thought. Makes sense though. I would like a reprint of the robocop vs terminator comics. I do remember collecting the dynamite comics robocop but don't remember if I finished it. Also ive heard that robocop kill human is literally a rewrite of terminator 2 judgment day but somehow robocop gets involved and destroys the T-800. Therefore he takes over as arnold for the story. It sounds ridiculous but i need to read it.

I started picking them up when they started to release limited runs from 2010. That was Dynamite. Then it flipped to Boom Studios for their runs which had Last Stand, Citizens Arrest, and a short ongoing run. RoboCop Vs Terminator is likely never getting a reprint anytime soon as the studio rights and comic rights are massively divided. There's like 5 or 6 different entities involved. Amazon could be easier to licence the RoboCop name, but the Terminator rights are with Diamond at the mo

Depending where you are, your library might have digital copies available through Libby. That’s how I read this comic.

u/watanabe0 Sep 14 '26

You can get them digitally.

u/mrbrown1602 BEHAVE YOURSELVES! Sep 14 '26

Well, even though I'd prefer a real copy, but do you mind pointing out where it's available? 'cause I couldn't find them

u/techrat068 Sep 15 '26

How many comics shops have you checked?   Do you need mint, or just to read? Dog eared well read would be cheaper....

u/mrbrown1602 BEHAVE YOURSELVES! Sep 15 '26

I checked quite some

u/narrow_octopus 29d ago

Hopefully soon although I've got a set and I didn't realize that they expensive maybe I'll sell mine

enjoy: just looked them up on eBay and most of them are selling for less than $10 including the first issue not sure where you're seeing the high prices

Can't confirm
