Flashpoint: The 10th Anniversary Omnibus Overview! 

I swear It feels like I pre-ordered this yesterday. And it´s already here. Flashfact!

I vastly prefer this mapping. I hate when an omni just does event issues, then tie ins in chunks. I like it all in chronological, as true to the original reading order as possible.

This is the correct and best mapping for the omnibus. Reading order. Always and forever.

I know it has it's flaws, but Flashpoint is my favorite DC event. I was completely blown away when this was coming out. It has some of the best twists in comics IMO

One day there will be an Uncanny Omar 10th anniversary omnibus.

I only read project Superman and Batman knight of vengeance when flashpoint was being released in 2011. I have to say the mapping was a concern of mine but after reading most of the omnibus at this point, I understand why they did it. To me, it really works well at fleshing out the characters and the conflicts between the characters. If anyone hasn’t purchased it and us on the fence, I highly recommend it. I purchased the absolute when it first came out but sold it in favor of this format. Very happy with my decision!

Super Excited for this Omnibus containing all the extra external content outside of the core story as well. As a collector I prefer all the extras in chronological reading order but I’ll happily take it in release order. I love and want to read it all. It’s actually a blessing that we have it already “trimmed” in trade and absolute format for all those that just want the bare bones story but for me I want it all. In my opinion DC got it right here in spite of the order. I’d hate it if this was never printed. I’m so happy.

Yes, yes oh by the pantheon of New Gods yes! I have been waiting for this since they announced the Final Crisis 10th now the wait begins for Forever Evil and Convergence

Another great overview! Thanks Omar. I do like the idea of the book being in release order as that's how I read it 10 years ago.

Hi Omar, I have the HC, and now this omni, the reason I love omni’s, is that they collect the majority of a story, and I haven’t read a lot of dc/marvel because I stopped collecting over 20 yrs ago. Watching you Omar has got me back into collecting. omni’s, and collected editions, and TP’s mainly. Great review Thanks mate 😊

I’m barely 18 now, but this was my first real intro to comics, and an awesome one at that, remains my favorite to this day. A huge reason why flash is my favorite superhero.

Love these videos. Thanks dude. This omni looks interesting but I think I'll wait until Geoff Johns vol 3.

Always been interested in the Flash! Thank you Omar!

Thank you Omar for reviewing this omnibus, been waiting long for this one.

I'm so happy I waited for this omnibus. For the longest time I was tempted to get the absolute edition, but I thought not having the tie-ins would be a disservice to the event. This book is thicc!

Thanks for the overview Omar, its my birthday on the 22nd, this is the perfect gift, looks awesome! Not sure about the mapping though, I think I would have preferred to have all issues of each mini-series together.

I got this for my birthday this year. I’m excited to start reading it.

I'll be waiting for Flash by Geoff Johns volume 3 omnibus which will have the entire twelve issues of the Barry Allen run, Rebirth, Blackest Night, and the main 5 issue Flashpoint mini. The only spin off from Flashpoint I really cared about is Batman, which I have in the Batman by Azzarello & Risso Deluxe HC.

This is the way I’m going to read Flashpoint 👍🏾 thanks for the Overview Omar 😁✌🏽

@ Uncanny Omar as always, stellar work on these overview. Helps me decide if these purchases are required immediately!

Fantastic overview!!

i love love love the mapping on this and think it makes so much more sense this way. you purchase the omni because you want to collect/read everything in order, not to have a bound collection of tpb's that make it hard to know what goes where. if you wanna reread the middle or end of the storyline its towards the middle or end of the book, not in the beginning. i personally also buy tradepaperbacks of big dc events like crisis so i can reread it by itself on occasion without the omni/tie ins

Only trying to buy the best events/stories so hopefully this earns a permanent spot on my shelf...especially since the thick ones look good on there!

I have the absolute edition but I'm tempted to get the omnibus at some point, most of the tie-in comics for this event were really well done. Kudos to the YT algorithm for putting another cool old NM video in my feed I had missed out on originally.

Thanks for this review! I am going to buy it. Thanks Omar!

I've said this before but I really wish DC would go the route of an omnibus or deluxe covering the main event and NECESSARY tie-ins and then do a companion omnibus with the rest of the tie-ins. I have very little confidence that these books will be easy to read nor stay together in the long run. Great overview though! Thank you!

Mines is getting delivered today. Patiently waiting.

Gonna pick this bad boi up, thanks Omar for the review

If I recall, Flashpoint was supposed to just a Flash event but DC was struggling and decided to use Flashpoint as a jumping off point to reboot the DC Universe (again) in the form of the New 52. I found myself more interested in the world of this alternative timeline more than the story itself. (Maybe it's because I didn't like the idea of bringing back Barry and having Wally get sidelined for a decade.) Like how did Superman get to where he was, what was the history of the main conflict ect. It's why I liked the tie-ins. It reminds of one of DC's last Elseworlds books, The Last Family of Krypton where it's Kal-El and his parents who survived Krypton and how them coming to Earth changed certain events. Glad to see all the tie-ins in this in the suggested reading order, the same way IDW does with Transformers and TMNT.

I pre-ordered mine from Cheap Graphic Novels yesterday!

Already ordered the omni, thanks Omar! Glad SC is improving their binding, though they need to catch up or learn from marvel.

On one hand, I want this story in OHC size… on the other hand, I think I’ll wait for a deluxe of just the core story. This is a lot to take in for something that will likely fit into other character reading orders for me. I’d like to be able to read it and move along quickly into the new 52 when I’m reading something like Batman in order. I thought about getting the Geoff Johns flash Omni’s instead, but I didn’t realize there is such a big time jump in them. So fingers crossed for a 15th anniversary deluxe with just the main story!

It looks like DC got it right with the binding. The artwork is great.

Nice Review! By the way, Omar, do you know what Flash by Geoff Johns Omnibus Vol. 3 will include?

Mi hermano el Misterioso Omar… gracias por tu video. Como comenté cuando nos lo presentaste al principio de año, esperaba que estuviera bien “mapeado”. Cómo el de Blackest Night o el de Final Crisis… para no nombrar nuestro estimadisimo Infinite Crisis. Está lindo el libro, me encantó el diseño, pero la clave del evento está en el orden de lectura de cada uno de los números: lo que pasa con Superman, el arco de Batman que es I N C R E I B L E, incluso la edición final (no sé si esté al final del omni hehehe). 
Sin duda linda edición, pero me quedaré con los pequeños paperbacks que contienen incluso más extras y son más fáciles de leer en orden que un gran ómnibus en el que tendrías que saltar un buen número de páginas para continuar leyendo un arco. Abrazos desde Colombia para ti y tu familia.

Thanks for the review Omar! Honestly I loved the mapping here, as you described, and looking forward to getting my copy over the weekend. I like to read these stories as they were published, especially with the side stories, which might not be directly related but have a few points of relevance. Really wish DC had sorted their mapping in the original Crisis hardcover companion set - thats the biggest grudge I have - complete crap map!!!!

Thanks a lot Omar, great video. I understand and agree with your comments but it looks like this time around DC made a huge effort, choose a direction and went for it. The book looks great and well built, which is a news at DC. Great video and thanks for you hard work, you deserve all the goods coming to you. I won’t upgrade, there are more books coming and I am on a budget! Well done! #NearMintCondition M.

Hey, omar. has/will Earth-2(new 52) be collected in an omni format? I loved that series & art.

I really want this!!! It looks awesome

This story line was 10yrs ago??? Holy cow time flies. I remember reading Flashpoint story with the Batman/Flash crossover as if it was yesterday!

Love this book!

Look forward to reading ! I've been looking forward to this. Batman Beyond Omni next.

About time. I'm already halfway through 🤣

Always wanted to read the tie in. I have the absolute but will get this

Bought the box set of trades a couple years back, still in its wrapping. Did I order this book as well? YOU KNOW IT.

I was talking with someone about when was the last crossover event where the side stories actually were good. Blackest Night and Flashpoint really did do a great job in having the side stories in this alternate universe resonate. I cant wait to reread it in full

God I wish I could afford this thing. I’m stuck doing gig work since I lost my job because of Covid. Eventually it will be mine. Oh yes. It will be mine.

Ordered yesterday from IST. Looking forward to it when it comes in. Great review Omar.

Getting my copy friday from my LCS!

Is it worth the money getting this over the paperback edition? I don’t have any special attachment to the event, but I do like to collect Omni’s. I find it hard to decide if it’s worth going for this edition for this specific event, since there are a bunch of other books I could get instead. Any help would be appreciated guys!

Yooooooo Omar good stuff man always a good review !! Did u hear anything about that Spider-Man omni roger S it was coming out on April 20 but never did on IST let me kno if u hear about that one

When Flashpoint was first conceived it was supposed to be a filler event so DC could move their offices. They decided to hold off on the move and released Flashpoint. Then, deciding that this was the event that should terminate everyone’s prior commitments, rebooted everything.

Its been TEN YEARS. Holy shit. Flashpoint was right in my comic reading heyday.

I’m gonna buy the Geoff johns flash omnis before I get this, just waiting for the third to come out.

Easiest pick up ever. Cant wait!

Such a good book

I just impulsively ordered this

Without flashpoint I wouldn't be a DC fanboy or have started my then podcast, now YT channel!

That’s a thicc ass boi! Loved the Flashpoint movie but never read it, definitely gonna get this omni! 💪🏼

Will you be doing an empyre overview?

Why does DC comics hate page numbers?

I came pretty close to getting this one but in the end I decided I didn't need all the tie-ins. Hope other folks enjoy it though.

I completely agree with omar on the issue order here. Painful to read like that, why not collected stories instead >.> If you want to read it like this, you also might just buy single issues instead. What is the point of an omnibus when the issues are all over the place.

I'm getting this for sure. If DC keeps this up my pockets are going to go flat. I dont mind as long as the books are done right.

Cant wait for the,. "The Tales from the dark Multiverse 2"

How does this omnibus tie into the 3 Geoff Johns Flash Omnibus’? I thought flash point took place during Vol 3?

What do you recommend reading before Flashpoint?

I remember starting to read DC around 2010 and then this reboot happened. The confusion lol

Mapping the event Omnies would be a nightmare job 😂 I'm personally okay with collecting first the main event and then all the tie-ins but I know a lot of people don't like that

Just ordered a copy of this great looking omnibus today through Amazon.. I'm usually buying the ones that have alternate story lines .. I just find them great compared to you standard story lines.. it a what if this happened or that happened.. good video..

hey omar pls tell if i should get blackest night dc essesntial edition or flash starting line dc essesntial edition plsssss

That eye is crazy, don't think I've seen one that big for a book that size.

I think I’ll get these in TPB, I’m currently going through the Infinite Crisis omnibus and I get so uncomfortable reading it because it’s so big!

Oh man that eye is beautiful. Especially with how big of a book this is! Glad you did an overview of this. :) Algorithm gang!

I can get ( really cheap) the box set. Should I get it or go for this? Does this omnibus have more content (tie ins) than the box set?

I’d venture to guess that most people who are really into this already have the tpb or HC. So you can still read the event separately as one. Under that premise I like the idea of release date order. Kinda different but why not. They’ve done worse (like leaving issues out).

The Omni will be here tomorrow

Conflicted between getting this and flash by Johns 3.

Picked up Flashpoint and Flash GJ vol 2. What are your thoughts on the forecasted Flash GJ vol 3? Already have the Final Crisis Omni and Blackest Night Omni... “Includes: Final Crisis: Rogue's Revenge #1-3; The Flash: Rebirth #1-6; Flash #1-12; Blackest Night: The Flash #1-3; The Flash: Rebirth #1; Blackest Night: Black Lantern Corps Vol. 2 #1; The Flash Secret Files and Origins 2010 #1; Flashpoint #1-5.”

Looks great , I didn't completely love this event though , next must have is batman no man's land and starman. Plus wonder woman and batwing which looks weirdly cheap.

Let’s have a variant with an Omar alternate mapping!

@8:02 content and mapping

Flashpoint is 10 years old?! OMG time is going by way too quickly.

After reading singles for years I have no issue with the order of this collection

Mine is supposed to be delivered via treadmill

Great review, Omar. That will be a pass for me, I’m happy with the Absolute Edition 😎✌️

I know the reading order may be a bit confusing, but this is the omnibus collection. If you want the Flashpoint story, buy the paperback. Or if you want the miniseries alone, buy the paperbacks. That's how I read the event originally. This omnibus preserves the release order, complete with flashbacks, interruptions, and previews of what's in the main event series. I would honestly feel cheated if I had to read the main event and 4 other miniseries just to read Batman for example.

Got mine yesterday. Can someone help me read it in the chronological order? Im a little lost lol

Which need to read first before reading this?

Thomas Wayne Batman is one of the highlights of this event. Too bad DC let Tom King ruin him.

Can this flash omni be read an an enjoyable standalone?

Are you guys gonna review the amazing Spider-Man #64 today?

So did i get this right. This is the FULL Flashpointstory in there? 🤔

Someone told me this is the 10th anniversary omnibus, is this true?

Does this contain flashpoint beyond ?

The question of the hour is does the upcoming Flash Omnibus Volume 3 make getting this redundant. I really want to know.

About the order of the issues, They did this in final crisis, but it was done better. It felt right.

Which should I get? Flashpoint omnibus or Injustice 1 & 2?

does it cover the whole event?

Soooooo...🤔...like, which one is the bestest one to get...❓️❓️❓️ The 10th Anniversary Omnibus Edition or the Absolute...❓️❓️❓️
