The Animal Man Omnibus 2022 Edition Overview | Comparison | One of the Most Brilliant Comics Ever! 

Bought it day one. Never read it, but I felt safe blind buying this one. There have been enough recommendations from people I trust

I have the two volume deluxe edition and I’m very happy with them. The deluxe edition is way much easier to read than chonky omni in my opinion.

I'm glad people get to buy this book and enjoy the experience of reading it. Thank you DC for reprinting this! I remember my old printing had a really tight binding. Hopefully the new printing will have a lot better binding than the original.

Today i took my folks to eat dinner and had a great time with them and with the little money i had left i finally ordered this Omni and i can't wait to read the rest of this run

You just sold another book, I can't believe I don't own this already.

One of the best comics I've ever read and made me a definitive Grant Morrison fan. I've got the original printing (found it at Half Price Books!) and I love it. It's an amazing read and experience!

Fantastic book. This was a blind buy based solely on this video. Otherwise, I went in completely blind having known nothing about the character. Started reading on Sunday night around 11pm and then picked up the next two subsequent evenings before finishing off the final two issues on Wednesday. Very smooth read, continuously engaging. Probably the best since the first Longbow Hunters omni for me. Highly recommended.

My wallet hates me watching these videos. I was on the fence, but I just ordered it. I don't know anything about Animal Man, so this will be totally new to me. Looking forward to it.

One thing I wasn't a big fan of with the first few issues of the run (after the four issue intro storyline) was how some significant things happen to Animal man between Grants issues and we don't see it, instead we have to try and piece it together through dialogue. Im speaking mostly with regards to how he was involved with the invasion tie in issues, and how things happen to him in those issues, but wasn't included in the collected editions due to being written by someone other than Morrison. The big example is (minor spoilers to early part of run) how one issue starts with Animal man having his powers messed up from a Gene Bomb that occured through the invasion series, and we don't see that happen to him. The issue just starts with him saying his powers are messed up. Another is the cliff hanger ending from the issue with the Red Mask villian guy. The issue ends with Animal Man suddenly getting messed up by something at the end of the issue, we don't see the immediate aftermath of that attack. Was that the gene bomb??

I randomly watched one of your old reviews for Swamp thing new 52 and Animal Man by Jeff Lemire 2 days ago. Ordered them immediately after watching your videos. Now this! I never knew anything about this character 3 days ago and now it looks like I’m buying 2 omni’s of him (in one week yet)! You are a heck of a salesman Omar. I need a better paying job 😔

Nice Review, as I have the two Deluxe Hardcovers, I probably will not get this.

Damn. I will definitely get this

How do you like this edition compared to the 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition volumes? I'm also jealous of people reading this for the first time. Such an awesome run!

I was on the fence with this one for a bit. I was gonna cancel my pre-order from amazon but it was heavily discounted. I did some research and watched a few videos about this and I never heard anything negative about it. I'm excited to start it tomorrow after I finish the boy vol 3! Great overview as always, Omar! You're the man!

The time has come… for me to update my old Vertigo trades.

What a Journey just completed it today and it captures that Morrison magic so well. You really do feel for Buddy though

I'm very happy that they reprinted this finally, when I started collecting omnies in 2019 this book was very rare and expensive and everybody said this is a must have. An then I got the first deluxe edition and had to wait only a years for the second volume but that was a long year :) . I hope DC realised that they had to keep up with Marvel and reprint these amazing books.

Was on the fence until Omar dropped that last line haha felt like he pushed me over onto the right side lol

I bought this book blind based on a previous video recommendation from NMC/Omar. It arrived today, and I can't wait to dig into it!!

This might be my favourite comic book run ever. It's that good. Buy it, folks!

I collected the single issues as a kid, and i was equally psyched at the social activism, the Crisis follow-up, and the still-novel meta-commentary. Bought the trades and recently upgraded to 2x Deluxe. I'll stick with those, but those who prefer Omnis should grab this!

I've never read this run, but all I ever hear about is how amazing it is. As such, I'm definitely getting it, lol.

Been wanting to read this for a long long time and even more so now after your overview Omar👌🏼😁👍🏻 cant wait

It’s $50 this week on IST.

15:12 is super phallic 😂

The timing of this video is perfect just got my copy today.

I remember when Animal Man was originally coming out, I never had a desire to read it. This was one of the few books in that time that I never picked up nor read a friends copy. Over the years I consistently kept being told it was one of the best runs in comics. I may be slow but I’m finally taking the plunge and ordered a copy of this Omni . Your review also just piqued my interest even more.

Got the Vertigo's original printing. Top10 comic for me. Thank you Mr.Morrison;)

Hey, Omar! Great video as always. I wanted to ask if you think we will ever see a Jamie Delano Hellblazer omnibus treatment similar to the Ennis run?

Aliens?! "Game Over, Man...Game Over." ;)

I almost bought the two ohcs for Animal Man several times but once I heard the omnibus was being reprinted I knew I had to have it in the oversized format. I’ve always heard great things so I’m excited for this one.

Picked up the deluxe editions last year, an amazing read!

Muchas gracias Omar por éste video. NUNCA he leído Animal Man pero con tu video estaré comprando este Omnibus. Desde la Ciudad de México te mando un abrazo. God Bless you and your family.

Is DC gonna make a continuation of the rest of the issues? Kinda want to read the rest

Hi Omar, has DC ever announced a vol. 8 of the paperback collections of this volume? I own this omni, plus trades 4-5-6-7. Still eagerly awaiting vol. 8, which would include #80-89.

The coyote issue is such an amazing issue. That was a memorable comic for me.

I remember running into the character while reading my Infinite Crisis Absolute and thought I'd check him out. I bought the Jeff Lemire Animal Man Omni, but was advised by my co-worker to wait and read this one first. They both were recommended reads, however I was told that Lemire's is a little different... I have the Morrison one now and can't wait to start!

When I finish this run I always cry .

Got the first print years ago and it’s one of my fav books I own. If you haven’t read It yet I definitely recommend it

I'm on the fencevon this one. I want it, but i have the deluxe editions.

I got into the hobby in 2020 and we were all making jokes how Omar and David needed to go over to DC to fix their collected editions department. Sadly and ironically, compared to DC, marvel needs to get their stuff together. Sure, DC prints way less books per year, but they are actually producing good quality books that are released on time, not to mention they’re reprinting books the majority of people actually want. Marvel’s 2023 omnibus sales are going to tank. They need to focus on what consumers actually want

This is a bit of a nitpick, but does anyone else dislike the title/logo font for all of these DC collections - the same plain old block lettering, instead of the "actual" font/logo style used for the original books? Regardless, I'll be blind buying this one - I've read a few issues here and there over the years but never the whole thing, so pretty excited for this one!

Sticking with deluxe editions.

Good review of a great book, thanks Omar!

No extras?? Man.... that makes a big difference to me. As much as I love this series, now I can put this book on the back burner for a while and stick to digital.

Been waiting a while for this one to come out. Had to preorder the moment I heard it was getting reprinted. I think the colors on your old omnibus are just faded from all the aging.

I pre-ordered it while it was on sale for a good discount. This will be a half double-dip for me as I own and just recently finished reading the first half of the run through the thick anniversary paperback edition. Don't own the second half of the run in deluxe tho, so that will be new material. The first half hooked me though.

Don't think they've had Black Label in the spine, just DC. Ususally the Black Label logo is reserved for the cover. Looking at 100 Bullets, Swamp Thing Omnibus, Y the Last Man and Books of Magic Omnibus Vol. 2

Thanks for the video. I'm ready to pick up an Omnibus. I can get the Vertigo one for about $15 less than the 2022 DC one. Do you all think it's worth the savings to get the older copy?

On the fence, great review!

Just started reading volume one. It's such fun.

I received my copy 3 days ago from my pre-order!

Will I like this even if I dont normally read superhero comics?

I'm sure i'm missing a couple of issues, but i already have the OHC. I'll have to live with those

Great review Omar! I ll go and read this again!!

For the ones liking this one, you should read NIEBLA (book) by Miguel de Unamuno

Never read a dc comic before but have been reading marvel fast and buying alot for 3 months should i pick this up as my first introduction to dc

Wait, wait, wait, wait...... lettering by George Costanza??? 😆😆😆😆

I’m super tempted to switch out my two deluxes for this.

May have had to order this and justice league 52 vol 2 this week is a dc week

It's going to be interesting reading the omnibus after reading the 30th anniversary Deluxe Edition volumes. With the story cut down the middle, the first volume felt light hearted and slice-of-life, while the second book was where all chaos broke loose. But now that it's all in one book, it's going to be interesting reading it all as one continuous unbreaking story. 🤔

I want the invisibles omnibus dc black label edition now not now right now @DCComics 😁

Should I buy this or Jeff Lemire Omnibus?

Can you make a review about - Madi Once Upon A Time In The Future!!!

The Coyote Gospel🙌🏾

Love reprints

I’m guessing it’s less body horror

I got it at cover price sadly in canada. Just bcos u recommended it

I don’t think any of the DC Black Label omnibus say “black label” on the spine, just the DC logo. Same with Absolute Swamp Thing, etc.

i have delux edition. seems delux edition has more extra content

What’s the biggest difference between this and the more modern Jeff Lemire one?

Cool book

Does the omni collect more extra stuff that the 2 deluxe editions?

I understand we have inflation but a 25% price hike? No thanks

Yeah vertigo sound better then dc black label

Is this book suitable for children: 12 years old?

Can someone please explain to me why “Vertigo being no more” sucks? Like I cant wrap my head around that. Vertigo was always owned by DC comics. DC used the vertigo heading to seperate the stories from their more mainstream ones for the sake of different marketing. Now they named it DC black label so it can still match up with the other DC heading books to expand the DC brand. DC black label is continuing to grow and put out more great original content. I cant fathom how someone can look at this as a bad thing, other than the fact your vertigo labels are obsolete? Which who cares?

Great review like always Omar but still wasn’t a fan of this series thought it was kind of bland.

I really don’t like this Black Label nonsense. The logo doesn’t need to be printed on the omnibus.

NAHnimal, man.

Why didn't DC change that blurb given Morrison uses they/them pronouns? Feels insensitive to me, it's not like it would have been that hard to change or remove it.

So basically you spoiled 85% of the book for people who haven’t read it. Good job 👍

This story got too weird half way through the book. I was so disappointed. Probably the worst comic I've ever read.
