The New Frontier is a whale because the creator of it Darwyn Cooke died a few years ago. There was also a rumor that he paid DC to keep the books he worked on to be in print.
I wish the omnibus had the Mail Room part at the end of every comic. Those were always full of helpful and interesting information. It also gives you a glimpse of the people behind the comics.
Thanks for educating us some more on DC, dude! One small piece of advice: I would have splitted this to at least 2 different vids. One for Absolutes, one for omnis, and maybe a different one for the book sizes. That way they are at a more manageable length, and you get to roll out more vids. Keep it coming!
Thanks again for another great vid, they really opened my eyes. Until now I had mainly read what most people consider to be some of the best Batman and Daredevil books, but I just ordered 4 of the books you talk about and I am greatly looking forward to reading them. I more or less rediscovered Superman for the first time since my childhood early this year through the Smallville TV series which I watched for the first time and loved a lot, and I read Superman: Secret Identity this summer, which was a great read.
I love the Justice League . The Grant Morrison run was epic but i loved so much The New 52 Run to . !!!!! . Have a great Day & thank You so much 4 a nother great video . !!!!!! .
Just chiming into to give you some props - always enjoyable to watch this stuff as a collector - and man I need to get some absolutes- I’ve been a floppy collector and still am- but just placed ist order 3- 3’this month and it’s Videos Like This that got me splashing cash- peace out and God Bless Steve. I trust u ain’t no heathen...u sir are a polished stone-
Well another epic video dont know D.C. too well but this was definitely a great informative reveiw as well especially the absoulte books so this was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC get it absolute lol but continue to shine bro and get that 5k coming
Don’t know where you’ve head the Darkseid War is a bad story. Everyone I know absolutely loved it. Easily the best part of the JL New 52. Epic fucking story man, damn good art by Jason Fabok, and a killer story by the man Geoff Johns. I mean it’s Darkseid vs. Anti-Monitor. What more could you want? Definitely needs to be next on your “to-read” list. Would love to see it as an Absolute one day. Also can’t wait for that Infinite Crisis omnibus reprint. And they’ve recently solicited a 10th anniversary Final Crisis omnibus with all the tie-ins, set to come out in fall of this year. Great video as always man. Keep up the good work brother
Jake Nap Johns wrote both of them fine. It’s such a sharp, condensed story, I don’t know how anyone can say that he didn’t write either of them well. Idk who’s saying he can’t write WW or New Gods. Arc was great IMO
Ryan Shea He especially can write Darkseid well. He writes Darkseid like a mindless brute. Darkseid is a manipulator, he’s a “I’ll send my own people to take care of you” rather than a “I’ll take you on myself” which is how Johns writes him. Johns betrays the original Kirby characterization of Darkseid and that’s my problem with it. Also, splitting up Mister Miracle And Barda is really dumb and out of character for both of the parties involved.
Jake Nap You’re right. That is your opinion. And that’s it. An opinion. Mine differs from yours. Of course he’s going to write Darkseid different than Kirby. He’s not Kirby... I enjoyed it a lot. You don’t have to
Yup Identity Crisis is my fave Crisis bro! That Deathstroke methodically, dismantling and destroying the justice league was so badass. I really wish they wrote characters fighting more like that instead of just lame hack and slash. But yeah I'm waiting for DC to make that JLA Morrison Omni. That's hands down my fave JLA version. Keep up the good work bra!
International rocks. That was a good run. Also, there are a couple of issues (the annuals I believe) that Willingham (the Fables writer) drew. Mid 80s DC - when they rebooted their universe after CRISIS - was great shit, and Justice League was my favorite. Another great vid. Now I have to buy Detroit and Infinite.
awesome show! thanks for the time spent on this stuff!!! I suggest to do a series by Master of artist such as all Alex Ross Omnibus/absolute ecc.... i never seen something similar on YT.... thanks Bro!
I thought you might forget the absolute Justice League Worlds Greatest Superheroes but you did get it edited in there. I was pleasantly surprised when I put it up against my other absolutes that it was even wider than those, which really makes Alex Ross' panels pop! The book actually retails for $75 (you mentioned $50) but I got mine for just a little over $40. This is a little thinner than your typical absolute. The thinnest absolute will probably be the Killing Joke that will be coming out soon (that one will be for $50 retail). Not sure I'll get that one though.
dope vid alot of content to cover dc have it down with the absolutes usually choose great stuff to put in the format like planetary, Sandman, preacher wish there was more of the non Super hero ones, is it a common thing for the absolutes to get spine damage just recently got a new absolute planetary #1 broke my piggy bank for it and it came with pulled spine same thing happened to Sandman #1 so downgraded to the omnibie for Sandman save myself the money and heart break keep up the good work love the vids would you ever do one focusing on specific writers or artists liek say Rick remender who has so many dope image comics out, seven to eternity, Black science, Tokyo ghost, low, deadly class and honerable mention to fear agent
The new designs of the covers Joker and Doom Patrol....Bronze Age...what do you think? I prefer the new cover BUT dont want the old ones because I like uniformity too LOL
I stopped reading marvel some time ago because the numbers of single issue got more confusing. Especially after all the renaming and crossovers. After watching your videos i picked up Spiderman again. Thanks for the amazing work.
How are you not leaving little fingerprints? Lol. Washed hands before? I bought a box of rubber gloves from Walmart myself. Gf thinks I'm nuts lol, but I hate smudges.
Is that JLA/Avengers an absolute? Or is it just in the same style as an absolute? I have all the DC/Vertigo absolutes and this one is hella expensive for a 4 issue story.
Can you please tell me where did you buy your reading stand? I need one but all i have seen before are for ipads or similar. I cant turning the pages with that type of stands.
i dont...if you req to join the Omnibus Collectors Facebook Group, you can make a post asking about custom DJs and someone will point you in the right direction
