* The Literature/VorkosiganSaga also has a number of omnibuses; [[IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming all of them have "Miles" in the title]] after the primary series protagonist except for ''Cordelia's Honor'', which collects the novels where Cordelia is the protagonist. ''Memory'' -- the capstone novel of the series -- remains in print separately despite the fact that the two novels after it have already been collected as ''Miles in Love''.

* The Literature/CiaphasCain omnibusses demonstrate the kind of exaggerated propaganda Cain is used for: a commissar with bulging muscles standing triumphantly AtopAMountainOfCorpses [[http://www.blacklibrary.com/all-products/Hero-of-the-Imperium.html with an unbelievably smug grin]], [[http://www.blacklibrary.com/all-products/Defender-of-the-Imperium.html or with]] a BladeAboveTheShoulder and a smoking HandCannon. Note that Cain is tall but not particularly bulky, and prefers a smaller and more accurate laspistol to the monstrous bolt pistol he's shown with.

* Comics in the Franchise/StarWarsExpandedUniverse have been getting combined into books much larger than graphic novel. They're each called an "Omnibus", and contain two to three arcs, each composed of four comics. This started with the ComicBook/XWingSeries, which has a total of three omnibuses.

An Omnibus (Latin for "with all" and the same root as the bus you ride on) is usually several novels/issues collected in a single volume. In most cases, each installment had been published in some form, either as a standalone work, or as a part of another collection. Omnibuses are often published as a way to earn more money, or to release out-of-print installments. Another occasion is for a milestone, like the anniversary of a work or for the release of the last installment in a series. The publishing industry sometimes refers to these as "bind-ups".

Similar to the omnibus release is the manga industry's ''tankobon'', which is a recopilatory volume that collects a couple months' worth of weekly releases of one single manga, in contrast to the weekly releases published on periodic anthologies such as ''Magazine/ShonenJump''.

* From 2017-2018, the older film/television novelizations for ''Franchise/PlanetOfTheApes'' were reprinted in four omnibuses by Titan Books:
