Cover: (click for larger) Learn more about the bad boy of the Buffy-verse in Spike’s earliest stories like Lost & Found, Old Wounds and Old Times, then read along as Spike battles that lord of the undead in Spike vs. Dracula, and finally catch up with Spike as he heads to the Asylum on a work-for-hire mission before heading to Japan to stop maniacal puppets in Shadow Puppets.
It’s more Spike than you can shake a sharp, wooden stake at!

Great news! I will definitely be picking this up.

Sweet! Still need to read Asylum and Shadow Puppets, so I'll probably get this. Spike vs Dracula is also one of the best non-canon mini-series, extremely good. Lost & Found, Old Wounds and Old Times are Grade A awful, so I hope this will be worth it to read the Lynch stories.

Cool, looks like it will be a busy few months before xmas with all these collections that IDW is releasing!
Although too bad about the Shadow Puppets double-dip for anyone wanting this omnibus and the Smile Time TPB.

First post updated with a clickable thumbnail of the cover. Sorry the full-size picture is so small, that's all we have at this point.

I'm pretty sure I own all of these, so I'll probably only buy it if it has extras.
Lost & Found=gem of amara? Old Wounds=black dahlia? Old Times=halfrek?

Skytte I'm pretty sure that's correct. I can never remember which title goes to which story but all three of them are collected in the TradePaperback simply titled "Spike."
I don't think it will have any extras seeing as how none of the previous omnibuses had any.
I gotta say, I preffer the Dark Horse Buffy omnibuses to the IDW Angel ones. The Buffy ones always have an interesting intro by Scott Allie. It would be nice if the Angel and Spike omnibuses had an intro as well. I'd love to hear about what it was like when these titles were first thought of and created. I love how the Buffy Omnibuses are put into chronological order too, rather than the order in which they were published.

I already own all the one-shots (they're not that great, the artwork kills them) but I have been holding off buying Spike vs Dracula in case an omnibus like this gets released. I'm glad I waited.

Sounds great I've been waiting for a collection like this, was going to buy Asylum and Spike V Dracula on their own as graphic novels but I may just hang on that little while longer for this then. Thanks! PS Paul730 nice avatar, I have some of the Halloween comics and the art work is pretty cool

I'm pretty excited for this to come out. I've looked through some of the Spike comics and liked the dialogue.
The art wasn't to my liking though. It just didn't seem to capture the essence of the characters. It didn't impress me which was a huge let down.

Oh wow, somehow I completely forgot about this! I checked tfaw.com and the solicitation description (pretty similar to what Amazon had from earlier) is Learn more about the bad boy of the Buffy-verse in Spike’s earliest stories like Lost & Found, Old Wounds and Old Times, then read along as Spike battles that lord of the undead in Spike vs. Dracula, and finally catch up with Spike as he heads to the Asylum on a work-for-hire mission before heading to Japan to stop maniacal puppets in Shadow Puppets.

So excited about this omnibus too (even though I have read the stories in it) and have pre-ordered. I've been waiting for a Spike omnibus from IDW for a while - yay
