I really love that "Spider-man by Roger Stern" omnibus. I have it as well, and it's my favorite for the character so far. Loved Whedon's take on "Astonishing X-men" as well. Even though I don't have the omnibus, I do have all the individual comics and enjoyed the work a lot. Interestingly, Whedon was the first writer to actually make me like Cyclops (don't like the character as written by anyone else, including the legendary Claremont). That "Thor" ominbus is *the* omnibus for that character in my opinion. I also adore that run and consider it the high-water mark for the series. I own both the individual comics and the omnibus for that run. Just so good. Excellent follow-up to your previous top ten video. Enjoyed this list. Thanks!
Congrats on 1k subs! Great two part vid on your top 20 marvel omnibus, I would agree with most of them! I know it's something kinda most of d RU-vidr in this community does, but I think you should do this 'top list' more here n there.( I got d feeling a DC omni one is coming soon from u!). Also 'hidden gems' or just great stuffs that ppl don't talk about much. More of indie stuffs outside of the big two would be great too. Keep up the good work n contents, may ur ch grow n more ppl check it out. U deserve it with what ur doing for d community with d passion n effort u put in these vids. Keep it real always, peace n love from Malaysia n here is for many more subs in d future mate, cheers!
Thank you so much for the kind words! And thanks for the suggestions for future content, I think I'll definitely think about other 'top tens' and lists I could do as well
Great video thank you. Love the list. As a relative newcomer to omnis am delighted that already have most of these on the “to read” pile. Spider Gwen an interesting choice as, like you, I have been put off my the cartoony art but think I’m am going to give it a go as the result of seeing your review
@@TheComicBookTrove early days for me so far and have read a lot of the silver & Bronze Age omnis that I grew up with eg ASM 1-5, Uncanny 1-3, Avengers 1-4 and FF. Of the “new”stuff, so far enjoyed New X-Men, Astonishing X-Men and Ultimates (which I know is divisive). Got so much piled up - Ultimate SM, Daredevil by Bendis, Avengers by Busiek/ Perez, New Avengers, She-Hulk etc etc. TBH there is so much stuff by creators I feel are worth following, Bendis, Millar, Morrison, Johns, David - and that’s not even counting the artists - it’s hard to know where to start
Great choices overall and I’m glad to see someone give so much love to the silver and bronze ages! I really do need to check out that Sensational She-Hulk omni if I can track one down. My top 20 would probably look a lot like yours with the exception of the Spider-Gwen book. I’d probably replace it with Daredevil by Bendis Vol 1. I’d also have to find a way to get FF by Hickman Vol 2 in there.
To be honest, even when expanding this into two videos to cover 20 books rather than 10, there's still stuff I had to leave out which I would have liked to include!
I have all but the Tomb of Dracula and Sensational She-Hulk omnibus. I also have the later printing of Dr. Strange with the white cover, but would have preferred Marvel re-released the variant you have.
More great choices. In this case I'm so happy you brought in "Alias". I just re-read it and it is timeless. Cool channel. I'm making my way slowly through your vids.
Seeing you flip through the pages, it seems the old comics had way more dialogue. The new ones like Astonishing X-Men and Spider-Gwen have more art and way less talk.
Yeah that's definitely true in general. Older comics had a tendency to over explain things with narration that wasn't always necessary, whereas modern comics tend to let the artwork itself tell a lot more of the story. The older style can take some getting used to if you've not read many but I can definitely enjoy both newer and older comics
You're killing my wallet this month, it's all great stuff though. I agree with you about wanting Marvel to reprint the Tomb of Dracula omnibuses. I was lucky enough to grab the first one for a good price off of eBay but, no such luck with vol 2 & 3. Any plans on doing a top 10 DC? Regardless, keep up the great work. I love watching the videos. Thanks for putting in the time and effort to make them.
Honestly I'm not convinced the "omnibuses or omnibi" debate has ever been fully settled, it's one of those where whichever one you go for you kind of second guess whether it's the right one 😅
As good as Ditko is I might even like some of his non marvel work even better. For instance I have a soft spot for his Gorgo art on comics for Charlton collection. It’s hard to say. I like his work so much.
He was a very unique creator and artist, there's definitely a few stand out works of his that are well worth people checking out for one reason or another
@@TheComicBookTrove my only reservations till now have reading on Goodreads that the first 440 pages are dreadfully repetitive. But after your overview, I think I'm better off with it than without it. Also I'm kind of. Moore conpletionist ;-)
In 2 videos you didn’t mention the Ed Brubaker immortal IronFist or the Ed Brubaker Captain America omnibus’. They truly are the best of modern marvel. Even though they were early 2000’s.
I have heard so many good things about alias and have the TPBs waiting to be read. Each time I pick it up, I feel very blocked by the art work, a real turn off for me. One day I will read it and no doubt kick myself for leaving it so long. But, geez I am not at all a fan of that art work. Like a poor mans Sean Phillips, Michael Lark.
I know what you mean, the artwork doesn't really stand out in any great way, I think I described it as "functional" if I remember rightly and that is pretty much the best way I can describe it, it worked fine with the story as I read it but it's nothing amazing
