Epic, absolutely epic! Loved this story when I originally read it in the 90s and to see the care and dedication to this classic......wow, simply wow! Good haul, bro!
Discovered you a couple days ago, I really enjoy your content, even if it's a bit too long sometimes you really go through most of the details without the weight of video editing slowing down your releases, you are just yourself and true in your comments and I like that. Have you see the Hot Toys Life Size light-up Infinity Gauntlet ? 75 cm high and really massive. Do you plan on acquiring it when it releases or pre-order it ? Keep the awesome work
Y'know, if he had like, bullet-point text pop-ups in his videos as he says the details, that might make the running time not seem so bad. I don't mind long videos as long as they don't meander and they are full of information. Having text recaps would probably let people skip over long parts if they don't like that. me, i don't mind: I wanna learn shit.
I know what you mean Gem, I just got my first companion book in my Frank Miller Daredevil set and it’s awesome, so many little details about the story and artwork bonus material 😁
Funny part was I was just looking at this on Instock Trades then an hour later you put out the video. It's way out of my budget anyway. I just bought a few books from them and though. Got that Aquaman one with him having the beard on the cover and looking ragid and JLA Rebirth and a few others. thx for the review.
Still debating if I should get this or the original run is all I need and the rest is unnecessary. The reason why I’m saying it might be unnecessary is because I got the civil war box set and the tie-ins were just pure garbage. Also the art for the other stories were quite unpredictable, some were really bad and some were amazing. Returned it without even finishing it
These tie ins are stronger than the civil war tie ins. You could read the main stories on their own. But I think the Thanksgiving quest and Sikver Surfer issues are a must.
Great Episode Gem - Question for anyone who can answer...I read Avengers vs Thanos TPB, SS Rebirth of Thanos TPB, The Infinity Gauntlet TPB...I have seen the next suggested reading is the Silver Surfer Epic Collection Vol 7(includes SS 51-66, Annual 4, Misc Marvel Presents 69, 93-97) Any ideas or suggestion as to what to read next? Should it be the SS Epic 7(titled Infinite Gauntlet)? Also on a side note what is the opinion on Infinity War..Boxed Set or Omnibus(new being released) I am ok not having read every tie in but would like something that is in a chronological order and not have to be jumping back and forth.
With this box set do you just read them in the order that they are in in the box set or is there a specific order in reading them and if so what is the order?
the tie ins are collected in one book that follows the main story book...you could look up a reading order and go back and forth...but i dont think it's really necessary.
Looks great, just a question are the books oversized or are they regular size? Also I noticed you haven't done an every omnibus video for the DC and Marvel characters in a while, did you run out of characters? Maybe you could do a video on all the Vertigo Omnibus and Absolute
Packing peanuts are the worst. Especially when they start building up static electricity and sticking to everything. The binding seems to be on the tight side. 11:46 Seems like some major gutter loss there. Looks like "VAR" instead of "WAR" Is this a concern? does it affect the reading of two-page spreads? PS I also want a "What If?" omnibus PPS I never liked the omnibus variant cover either
How much of an affect does reading all the crossover material separate and after the core story have on your enjoyment. This version vs the Omni which places all the crossover chronologically in the story?
so this box set contains the main story and crossovers for 3 stories: Infinity Gauntlet, Infinity War, and Infinity Crusade. The IG and IW omnibus contain the same issues, but not the stuff for Infinity Crusade. I was say the tie ins are not as good as the main story...but they just add more. The silver surfer issue are great though
Gem Mint Collectibles I found the WWH Omni that includes tie ins was kinda bummer because they just pushed all the tie ins after the main story arc so you had to read them out of order and going out of order (according to the timeline). I think having that for so many more crossovers would be even worse for this slipcase because it is 3 big sets of crossovers included that are out of order/separate from the main story arcs contained
Just started reading comics with DCs Dark Nights Metal event and now Scott Snyders Batman run. I have always had more of an attachment to DC (having grown up with the cartoons and animated movies) then with Marvel (only watching the movies and some of the cartoons like xmen evolution). Would you say this box set would be a good starting place to get into Marvel comics, or should I start somewhere else?
@Gem Mint Collectibles you've mentioned it in the review a bit, but how well does this box set of the infinity gauntlet covers the whole story? The thing that im asking is: does this box set covers the same stories ( or is it even more detailed ) then the stories in Thanos wars, Infinity, Infinity war and Infinity gauntlet and do i have to own all the box set and the omnibuses to get the whole picture or one of both will do? :) Neet review, and i love your collection. It inspired me to start my own marvel collection :)
so far it has the same exact issues as the infinity guantlet and infinity war omnibus...but it also has the prequel, main story, and tie ins for infinity crusade which has not been collected in oversized format yet
Would you suggest reading this series before annihilation, or does it not so much matter? Also, have you gone through these / do you think it holds up?
Hello, I am torn between the box set and the three omnibus (Infinity by Starlin & Hickman Omnibus / The Thanos Wars: Infinity Origin Omnibus / Infinity War Omnibus ) coming out in April 2019.. I can't afford to double dip.. Can you please advice on which one to get?
bout bust more out on infinity g, war, origins, saga and just seen january 2021! INFINITY CRUSADE which will have all else like.... INFINITY CRUSADE (1993) 1-6; WARLOCK CHRONICLES (1993) 1-5; WARLOCK AND THE INFINITY WATCH (1992) 18-22; THOR (1966) 463-467; IRON MAN (1968) 294-295; AVENGERS WEST COAST (1989) 96-97; DARKHAWK (1991) 30-31; CAGE (1992) 17; ALPHA FLIGHT (1983) 124-125, 127; MARC SPECTOR: MOON KNIGHT (1989) 57; SILVER SURFER (1987) 83-85; DEATHLOK (1991) 28; material from DOCTOR STRANGE, SORCERER SUPREME (1988) 54-56; ALPHA FLIGHT (1983) 122-123, 126; WEB OF SPIDER-MAN (1985) 104-106; SILVER SABLE & THE WILD PACK (1992) 16-17; DEATHLOK (1991) 29
Sour Milk yes because the omni only collects Gauntlet. This is the first time infinity war and crusade are collected in HC, plus there is other material. Like the infinity Gauntlet secret wars series.
i know what you mean. Some Infinity Guantlet tie-ins may take place between issues 3-4 for example. I'm sure there is a reading order you could look up. But i think youd be fine just reading the books left to right.
Dude your making me jealous you have so much omnibus 🤤😓😖😤😭 I'm a nerd for comics dam how much was for that infinity gauntlet slipcase book? I bet more then $ 2000.00
There are only 2 omnibus that collect this material. Infinity gauntlet and infinity war... so there is still no omni That collects infinity crusade. Also, the infinity gauntlet omnibus is out of print. So as of right now, the box set is better. And it looks awesome.
Gotcha thanks for the info in thought the new thanos omnibus was a prequel that was part of it and yea I saw it was out of print saw a few online to buy but I'm thinking the boxset willcbe the way to go
I currently own the paperback of IG + Aftermath and IW + Aftermath. The Infinity war omnibus which collects all the crossovers from the box set is reasonably priced currently but the IG Omni is like $300.. and I’d still be out the crusade stuff but could pick up those 2 paperback to get the core story (heard it fell off during crusade anyways). My biggest flaw with the box set is that the crossovers come in their own sets, and not told in the course of the story like the Omni does. How much value do you place on reading order of content versus having additional content, ie the box set.
Not a bad price for the amount of books u get. Ive only read the main infinity gauntlet story & just wasnt that into into it . guy crying about girl for 300 pages & heroes crying about guy crying about girl meh 😝
