Marvel Complete Epic
''Marvel Ultimate Collections''/''Complete Collections'', ''Complete Epics'' and ''Epic Collections'' are large, full-color trade paperback collections of previously published Marvel comics, typically containing 300–500 pages. The ''Ultimate Collection''/''Complete Collection'' lines collect entire runs of one title, or related titles by one creator. The ''Complete Epic'' line collects large crossovers spanning several titles. The ''Epic Collection'' line is a numbered collection of sequential issues of one title, sometimes including crossovers from related titles, starting from the beginning of a character. This collection is not released sequentially, as the priority is to fill in periods not covered by previous collections.

Trade Paperback (comics)
In comics in the United States, a trade paperback (shortened: TPB or trade) is a collection of stories originally published in comic books, reprinted in book format, usually presenting either a complete miniseries, a story arc from a single title, or a series of stories with an arc or common theme. A trade paperback may reproduce the stories either at the same size in which they were originally presented (in comic book format), in a smaller "digest-sized" format, or a larger-than-original hardcover. This article applies to both paperback and hardcover collections. In the comics industry, the term "trade paperback market" may refer to the market for any collection, regardless of its actual cover. A trade paperback differs from a graphic novel in that a graphic novel is usually original material. It is also different from the publishing term '' trade paperback'', which is a book with a flexible cardstock cover that is larger than the standard mass market paperback format. Histor ...
