I've followed your channel for years and yet have waited to comment on your reviews until today. Thank you very much for your efforts as they are very appreciated. As a result of watching your channel, I have slowly began to purchase and read Omni's so I can save my tired old comics from the Silver and Bronze Age. I just want to say thank you for bringing out the kid in me again. Without your channel I probably would never know about Omni's. Subsequently without your channel I probably would never have re-visited the innocence times of reading these stories for the first time. Again, thanks.
@@NearMintCondition if my melancholy trip has Marvel as its vehicle, I consider NMC the guide. But why can't Shellhead get any Silver/Bronze Age love? Sheesh, some people. 😀
@@anthonygarcia8749 I personally like the Lee/Kirby run better than the Lee/Heck run, but I agree they are both underrated. I feel like the Lee/Heck run got a lot better starting with #17, IMO.
Picked up the first volume last week and picked this one up this week. My wallet wishes they would spread out reprints like this a little more. But the only way to fight greed is not to buy them. But had to get them since I already had vol. 3 and 4 with 5 on the way. I ordered the John Buscema cover. Dont much care for Alex Ross's color pallet on this cover. Dont much care for his current use of more pastel hues either.
Great spotlight. Can't wait for mine to come in the mail. It's remarkable how much better John Buscema's work looks when he inked it himself. After one reads issues 49, and 50 one doesn't want anyone else to ink John other than John.
Man that’s rough, but I’ll do it, hahaha!😂 1. Avengers Omnibus Vol. 4. You get the Kree/Skrull War, the Avengers/Defenders War, the end of Roy Thomas’ run, AND the beginning of Steve Englehart’s run! 2. Avengers Omnibus Vol. 5. More of the fantastic Steve Englehart stories which had great stories featuring Kang, the Squadron Supreme, and others, plus his stories are kinda rooted into the Marvel Universe, like his origin of Mantis/Vision story. 3. Avengers Omnibus Vol. 2 You get the end of Stan Lee’s run and the beginning of Roy Thomas’ run, the introductions of Ultron, Vision, and Black Knight (Dane Whitman). 4. Avengers Omnibus Vol. 3 More Roy Thomas stories, Hawkeye getting a change in character/costume, the introduction of the Squadron Sinister, a crossover with the Hulk, the origin of Black Panther, and a one off Black Knight story. 5. Avengers Omnibus Vol. 1. Stan Lee and Jack Kirby top notch stuff, plus Cap’s Kookey Quartet (I believe that’s what they were called😂) are very fun to read. All of these volumes are great and I personally don’t think there is a single bad one, but that’s my honest ranking!😊
@@vincentimbesi3947Yeah. At 02:13 onwards there are 30 covers shown on the back of the old version but 31 covers on the new version. There’s an additional X-Men cover showing Cyclops listed in the new version.
I just watched a review video of the original print done by another RU-vidr. The X-Men issue is included in the original printing. However, it is not featured on the dust jacket (back cover) of the original printing as you pointed out.
I'm wondering as well - I think maybe this volume, as it starts the Roy Thomas run. I read the early issues back when there were releasing the "Classic Avengers" comic about 15 years ago, and I didn't care much for those initial stories.
If you don’t want campy stuff you could get this omnibus, but it’s still campy for most of the book. I’d personally suggest starting with vol. 3 and go through vol. 5. That to me is when the title starts to get more grounded.
Hi Omar. I watched a video called "The Depressing State Of American Comics" by Thinking Critical and it certainly lives up to the title. I was wondering if you could do a video explaining what you have heard/feel. As someone who has recently gotten into comics in the last year, with both collected editions and single issues, this sucks to hear. Thanks.
I don’t do clickbait titles here. People always love spreading negativity. Even before the Internet. I’ve been reading comics for almost 40 years and ever since I was a kid I can tell you that I’ve been hearing: comics are dying, comics are dead, this is the last era of comics, comics were better in my day, writers these days don’t know how to write a good story. Fact of the matter is. Nobody knows any inside information they claim to know. Honestly, it gets old and they do it for the the views, because like I said negativity spreads and sells. I’m not saying it’s all perfect and could be better, but it’s not what some of these people claim it is. As long as you are loving what you are reading, ignore the none-sense. I hope what I wrote makes sense.
Truth be told man, you shouldn't watch channels like that. Nothing but negativity. Awful lies without any concrete evidence. You can always tell his fans when they stumble here.
I wouldn't say that comics are in a bad place by any means. Just sticking to Marvel you have stuff like Immortal Hulk, Thompson's Captain Marvel, Zdarsky's Daredevil, MacKay's Moon Knight, the current Fantastic Four run who's writer escapes me at the moment, and lots of other very well-received and very recent comics. Sales-wise I have no idea, but I think they'll be on the upswing soon enough.
