Great overview, brother. If only DC had done the right thing and put Sword of Azrael in those omnis. I guess they could try to do a Road to Knightfall Omnibus. Not, sure what else they could include. To this day I still love that Azrael outfit.

I just finished reading the hardcover omnibus version recently myself and even though I heard the story dragged after Bruce departed I found the series a compelling read from start to finish. The Azeal arc, the Grayson arc, the return of Bruce Wayne, each of these parts of the story were great and I had no problem plowung through the story. This omnibus is great. Makes the series pretty much complete. I highly recommend this.

Thank you for your explanation in this video. I was having trouble deciding what to purchase on google books. The entire 2012 set was available for a cheap discount and I was going to choose it over the 9 volume 25th Anniversary set, as unfortunately, only the 2nd and 3rd volumes of that set were discounted. But now understanding the errors in the 2012 set thanks to you, I decided to purchase the prelude for full price, as well as the following 2 volumes. I also purchased Batman Venom as you recommended. It was discounted as well.

@jcerra412 5 лет назад

I love your videos! Glad to see you back! I agree with most of what you said. The only exception being the design of the outside cover and spine(s). The proportions look all out of whack to me and not even in a cool 90s way. (Does AzBat look a bit chunky on the vol 2 cover?) The text block on the spines not aligning is frustrating to me as well. It would have been nice to have a design that spreads across all three volumes like on the new TPB set. Real missed opportunity there imo. That said, I happily own all three! Please keep up the hard work- your vidoes are my favorite thing on RU-vid right now!! Happy 2019!

@TheDeluxeEdition 5 лет назад

Happy 2019!!! Thank you so much! Basically the wraparound art by Kelley Jones is how he has evolved as an artist. I guess it’s all subjective but I agree it’s not too familiar to his 90s work.

@TheDeluxeEdition 4 года назад

Thanks man! I have been featuring a lot of DC Omnis here on the channel but my reading is basically split through the middle between Marvel and DC... definitely not DC exclusive.

@Dan14thPrime 5 лет назад

I read the 3 omnibus volumes this year. As a 90s kid, I enjoyed them all. I recall Vol 1 being a bit gratuitous in all the opening backstory positioning Batman as weakened even before Banes gauntlet plan kicks off. But once you power through that, these 3 volumes move fast. 👍 One other nit pick, you need to buy Sword of Azreal TPB separately as he just shows up in the Omni with no context or backstory - very strange.

@TheDeluxeEdition 5 лет назад

Nice! This story even though in a grand scale, was so easy to power through like you said. Personally I think Batman 488 is only needed to get the backstory of Azrael/Jean-Paul. Batman: Venom gives more context on the drug that enhances Venom's strength.

@fallout4settlements61 5 лет назад

Just to make sure I understood you correctly. The 25th anniversary editions have ALL the content from the old TPs + new content? How's that possible? Old TPs are 3 times bigger. I mean, Vol 1 of the old TP is as thick as all 25th anniversary editions together. I just recently started collecting comics and I have the Prelude to Knightfall and old TPs. I would definitely want to upgrade if the two 25th anniversary editions have all the content from the three old TPs + new content. (especially since I haven't' read it yet). Thanks for the clarification!

@BKsBullets 4 года назад

@CubzZero 5 лет назад

So which is the best route to buy? Omnibus, old thick trades, or the new trades.

@JOHNN01.82 4 года назад

As a kid I never knew the outcome to Bruce recovery I now know after finally buying all issues and it's a massive drawn out story. My only complaint about Knightfall was the art work it's easy to tell theirs two different artists and one of them was far better at drawing bane at times Bane looks incredible other times he looks rushed his mask looks tight and sleek then it will look more like a helmet it's easy to see both artist vision of bane he drawn hairy in one comic then all body hair gone in his next appearance it was frustrating at times

@fernandosanchezdiaz6809 Год назад

Great video as always. I was wondering why don't you cover Marvel comics, do you just prefer DC because they have better storylines or Marvel isn't really your thing.

@TheDeluxeEdition 5 лет назад

Thank you! It comes down to time and money. I use to pick up both DC and Marvel for weekly books . I feel I can’t pick DC or Marvel without dipping across the whole Universe. It’s a slippery slope due to cross referencing books and crossovers. If this was my full time job, you would have me diving back into Marvel without hesitation! That said, the 2019 resolution for this channel is to cover Independent/Indie books like from Image and Dark Horse.

@billyjoejenkins2081 4 года назад

@LegendOfTheBat 5 лет назад

Sorry, I got a bit confused here, so I would appreciate if someone could clarify: 1. So the 3 new 25th anniversary trade paperbacks (Prelude, Vol 1 and Vol 2) from 2018 contain the whole relevant story, EXCEPT for Sword of Azrael? 2. If that is so, is SOA unnecessary or important, because despite what I heard in this video, I've heard many other people complain it wasn't put in previous editions? What do you other Batman fans think - is it needed? Thanks in advance!

@TheDeluxeEdition 5 лет назад

In my opinion, Jean Paul Valleys aka Azrael backstory is perfectly recapped in Batman 488 which is in the prelude. We don’t truly dive into the character until the Knightfall trilogy.

@TheDeluxeEdition 5 лет назад

Tomas Milonga Hi! If you own the original 2012 trades, you are missing “prelude” issues with the exception of Vengeance of Bane and Batman 491. I think it’s essential for the setup of Knightfall for two main reasons: Bruce is weakened with the lead up to knightfall and the reintroduction of Azrael from Sword of Azrael.

I didn't like Knightfall. I saw it as a cash-grab/publicity stunt along the lines of Death of Superman. I also didn't like those Kelly Jones covers which depict Batman as skeletal with absurdly long years. I loved "Sword of Azrael" and the failure to include it in these volumes is another reason not to get them.

@TheDeluxeEdition 4 года назад

I found it absolutely strange why they didn’t include Sword of Azrael here to give the reader more familiarity with the character... Robin just does a brief recap instead.
