Omnibus is Dark Horse Comics' program to to release volumes collecting comics that were formerly difficult or near-impossible to find. A Dark Horse publisher's summary states:
Eventually, there will probably be an Omnibus for every series (or for groups of stories taking place in the same time period). Each Omnibus volume will contain the equivalent of three to five 4-issue trade paperbacks. Dark Horse plans to release two or three per year, resulting in all of the existing trade paperbacks being "omnibussed". Having "omnibussed" all of the existing comic material, the project will become an ongoing program.
The Omnibus series is not exclusive to Star Wars titles. Dark Horse has also released Omnibuses for other series such as Aliens, Alien Vs. Predator, Predator, Terminator, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Indiana Jones.
