i loved Grayson, it was a fun run. a lot of people criticized the fact that he wasn't nightwing anymore, but you know how this hobby is, a lot of people complain without even given the stories a chance.
I'm a Marvel guy and have never read much DC, but I did just pick up Batman Knightfall omni vol 1 and cant wait to start reading it. Great video as always!
As a kid I had spent so much time and money buying the DC chronicles trades. Now knowing these exist, I realize how superior they are in how much ground they cover in one volume
Love your "Every omnibus" videos! I highly recommend the Brave and the Bold omnibuses for Jim Aparo's artwork alone. As you can see, when he did his own inks and colors, his stuff rivaled Neal Adams. The later stories in B&B Omni vol 2 show how having others do the inking and colors screwed up his style.
The Neal Adams one made me cry. I sat on that waiting list for 2 years and when it released I was mortified at the horrible digital re-coloring. I knew they had done that with the smaller hardcover volumes, but something made me hope the omnibus would be "pure." And wow, it wasn't. Re-coloring Neal Adams, even if Neal does it himself, should be illegal. It's like George Lucas screwing with the better original versions of Star Wars...
I'm praying that when we get to Adams in the Bronze Age Batman omnis (if we ever get that far!) they use the original art (like they have done in the Brave & the Bold omnis)
The thing I love about these golden age, silver age, bronze age. The art looks so classic, done with pencil and real color, not done digitally. I love old school art and color.
Jordy If you’ve grown up with more modern comics, it can be very difficult to read Golden Age, even Silver Age comics. They were totally different then. Those comics weren’t made with collective or continuity-based storytelling in mind, they were designed to be cheap pamphlets that could be read and then tossed away. They wanted to make sure that it was worth it, so there was tons of text, and multiple stories told within each issue. It’s entirely different from what we had starting from the 70s, especially from the 90s onward. All I’ll say is that I’m writing my MA thesis on Dick Grayson (so of course Batman is heavily involved) and I have tried to look at Golden/Silver Age books for it, and it’s awful. I just can’t do it. I respect them, and I respect what they did, but I don’t like them at all.
@@SSJFutureGohan62093 I just got into buying comics this year (I'm 25 rn) and started buying some golden and silver age facsimile comics, and just my opinion I like comics to have a good amount of text so they can last me more while I read them. I hate to buy new (pricey) comics and finish them so quickly. As the guy above said, now they're like photo albums.
I hate the really long Forewords they have at the start of omnibuses for some reason my OCD makes it so I have to read them, and some are like 5 pages lol. While reading Frank Miller's Daredevil Omni I had to read the 5 paragraph blurb at the start of each issue, even though it never changes. I think it is because I don't want to miss anything. Also at the end of that omnibus it had a 13 page interview with Miller and Janson...and yes I read it...life is pain lol. Great video tho man.
🔥Gem Mint doing one of the things he does best!🔥 This was such a pleasure to watch man, just a really great video. Classic Gem Mint content right here. First video I watched on your channel was All Spider-Man Omnis, so these types of videos will always get me to click on as soon as I see it pop up. 😁👍🏼
started watching a few of the omnibus videos in the channel. gonna grab a few from this list on this vid. thanks for listing them out. hope to see you update this as more roll out.
Wait...was that Batman Odyssey in that book or what I like to call it Batman on some really rough drugs.I was going to call it Batman on crack or something.?!😝😂🤣🤔
I've recently purchased the six Golden Age Omnibus's released so far, and I love them. I'll never get the original issues they're reprinting, so they're great for collecting them, and they're reproduced so well, with great coloring. So looking forward to the Seventh volume this June, I think it is.
Great video bro . Love your channel. I own all three Knightfall omnis Grant Morrisons omnibus and Jeff Loeb's omnibus but after this i might pick up that Batman and Robin omnibus. Keep up the good work. Sending regards from Slovakia .
Hi you should do a video with all the Dc omnibuses from the golden, silver and bronze age and also say how much we have to spend to get the full collection.
Me too. Gotham Central was awesome. He's my favorite writer period. The Fade Out is one of my favorite stories along with pretty much any Image book he's done so far. I'd love for him to have a proper run on Detective or the main Batman book.
Gotham Central is in my top 3 omnibuses. You have to read it. It's about Gotham and Batman only appears in the background. It's about how common people live in a world of superheroes.
Great 👍🏽 video. Thanks for the information. I got some DC but definitely want to start my DC omnibus collection. Start ordering these. Now that I’m caught up on Berserk. You set me off track when I seen your Berserk videos. Lol
At 3:00 you say "Detective 27" instead of "Detective Comics 27" and BAM I had a revelation. There's a song by G//Z/R called "Detective 27". I knew the song was about a guy obsessed with Batman, but I never really understood why the number "27" was part of the song. *The more you know...* I haven't thought about that song in a long time.
Thanks for this review...so hard to figure out what to buy to start a nice DC collection...indeed golden age books will be among my first omnibus with the Neal Adams one ( which i'm a great fan of ).Man your collection is just mesmerizing...
I love the videos but the audio levels are all over the place from going way loud then when you do close ups it’s a whisper. Your still my fav comic channel tho
Damn I love Neal Adam's Batman - I hope they reprint that omni, I met him this year in Niagara Falls and got a nice limited edition water colour print of Batman Adam's did and got him to sign it. Love his art on Green Lantern / Green Arrow as well hoping that Absolute goes down a bit. Great update video Gem! Love the honorable mentions portion where you share omni's from characters in Batman's universe but not big enough to have their own videos Quick question about Grant Morrison's Batman, can I jump into it not reading much of Batman outside of Snyder's New 52 run? I hear Morrison is deep in recalling canon from other runs so I figured I'd ask because I'd pick it up today if there is no fear of me being lost.
@Carnage - Yugioh Is the recoloring that bad? Maybe I am not a purist since I didn't get into comics until recently, only having read them when I was a kid like 20 years ago.
@Carnage - Yugioh Fair enough, I respect that point of view and appreciate you sharing it with me. I agree I would prefer seeing as it was intended as well.
@@harpsprince7576 The Nu52 run has so far had one omnibus release - Batman by Snyder & Cupullo Vol 1 which includes the Court of Owls Here are a few more Omni's that have come out since this video: Batman Golden Age volumes 6, 7 & 8 Batman/Superman: Silver Age Worlds Finest 2 Batman by Grant Morrison Vol 2 Batman Eternal With more solicited: Batman Golden Age volumes 9 (the final Golden Age omnibus) Batman by Grant Morrison Vol 3 (Aug 2020) Batman by Paul Dini (Sept 2020) Batman Road to No Mans Land Omnibus (Oct 2020) Batman: Detective Comics by Tomasi (December 2020) Batman Brave & The Bold Bronze Age 3 (Jan 2021)
Gotham Central is great. Second omnibus I ever bought. It's like The Wire in Gotham. They split the writing between Brubaker and Greg Rucka. I'm pretty sure Brubaker writes the night shift characters/issues and Rucka does the day shift. Which was a really cool way of doing it I thought.
Appreciate this vid alot. Lots of good material that I'm trying to make room for after getting the Scott Snyder New 52 omnibus which is a great read. If anyone needs Batman Jeph Loeb Tim Sale Omnibus its going OOP. Just copped a copy myself so grab it soon if you're interested.
I'm not a big fan of the Golden or Siver age, I will say I'm now purchasing the new versions as they come out. I guess because I'm a big Batman fan, I just wanna go ahead and have them all.
@@timocomx I just started reading Green Lantern Omni 2, I waited to get the whole set and Brightest Day before I started. I want to be prime for Morrison`s GL run. You won`t be disappointed with Geoff John`s GL run at all.
I love Redhood and the Outlaws. It’s not great, but it’s super fun. Gonna have to grab that. Wish it had a better cover though, shoulda used the Issue 1 cover.
I'd love to collect omnibus but they're so expensive and go out of print so quick that i feel its pointless to even try. I only have 2 cause i saw them on amazon for £40ish so I have Astonishing X-Men by Joss Whedon and Wonder Woman by George Perez Volume 1.
I think about B&R tomasi omnibus or Morrison Just not sure. B&R, is it story from beggining to end we gettin here? Why we need 20-22 at the start and secret origins #4?
In france we have an french editor who own the dc rights. Problem? they not make omnibus ... just some good and solids hard cover with black spine . I really envy you with all beautyful dustcovers and they are sooo colorfull. Ps. Sorry for my english.
I wish the Knightfall trilogy omnibus' that I got from 2012 looked this good. the pages are nowhere near as nice as these hard covers, the print/pages are more traditional looking but I think I'd rather have that hardcover with the nice white and shiny print pages.
Love the collection man. I was wondering since I’ve been trying to collect the Batman issues by Neal Adams Collection, such as the well known issues like #217, the Batman by Neal Adams omnibus doesn’t have the issue #217, since it only had the comic cover but not the issue. Im trying to get not only the well known issues but all of them that are from his work. From the the late 60’s-early 70’s. Will there be a Batman silver age omnibus volumes that has all of the issues? Like the golden age omnibus series u have?
The next Golden Age Batman volume (9) is supposedly the last Golden Age volume so hopefully the Silver Age ones will follow after that (which like the Golden Age omni's would be all the issues in order with no gaps)
DC's "Batman Archives" stopped at Vol.8 with reprints of the early 1950s. "Showcase presents" stopped at the early 1970s. Are you confident that the Omnibus series will take us all through the 70s and 80s Detective Comics and other Batman stories this time? Because I really want to get them.
@@GemMintCollectibles thanks for the answer. Are there any reprints of the Batman Detective Comics from the circa #400#-600 range, the 70s and 80s ones? Like Trade Paberbacks maybe?
