I just wanna say thank you your channel has really brought me so much happiness and I genuinely have needed it. I love hearing recommendations and reading them. You do amazing work and keep being you!
Another great video Omar. I really appreciate your depth of knowledge. From what I’ve seen of the Conan omnibus I’m hoping Marvel issues that content in either oversized hardcover editions or a series of omnibuses. The artwork deserves it. Have a great thanksgiving.
I’ve been reading a million comics during this year, and constantly asking my friend’s recommendations. I have to say, this is my new go-to channel for advice haha. We should collab sometime. 😎
My favorite omnibus planetary omnibus, Uncanny X-Force, X-Men by Jim Lee, minus points for binding on Doom Patrol and Batman by Snyder and American Vampire omnibus
Wow. You know you made it on RU-vid when you have douche canoes disliking your video of YOUR favorite omnibus. Great List Omar. Because of your channel I have gotten so much out of comics and introduced to so many books I wouldn't have checked out.
In no particular order: 1. Aquaman Johns Omnibus 2. Annihilation Omnibus 3. Secret Invasion Omnibus 4. Green Lantern Johns Omnibus vol 2 5. Avengers by Hickman Omnibus vol 1 6. Batman Morrison Omnibus vol 1 7. Fantastic Four Waid Omnibus 8. Fourth World Omnibus 9. Miles Spidey Omnibus 10. American Vampire Omnibus
Great list dude! Showin that Geoff Johns love! That guy is awesome! If i had to pick a top 10 it would be 1 Green Lantern by Geoff Johns. 2 Infinite Crisis 3 Blackest Night ( Told ya Johns is awesome lol 4 X-men Mutant Massacre 5 New X-men 6 Thor by Walt Simonson 7 Swamp Thing bronze age 8 Age of Apocalypse 9 Death of Superman 10 New 52 Flash
I only have 4 so far in this order. Devil Dinosaur Omnibus isnumber 1 because one of my early comics I read. Then fantastic four Kirby volume 1 and 2. Then the new Official Marvel Handbook omni. I prefer issues, trades or hardcovers to omnibus because I like to let stories sit and sink in instead of all at once.
Been waiting for this video! Can't say I have 10 favorite omnies because I've only bought 10 omines so far. I'm crossing my fingers that Marvel decides to reprint Annihilation Conquet soon. The Gotham Central choice caught me by surprise.
I'm right there with you with your favorite, Omar. That was also my first X-Men stuff! I didn't read the original Dark Phoenix saga, I was only reading the follow-up stories at first, so it gave the original Jean Grey and Phoenix Saga the quality of epic myth! Awesome stuff.
Definitely agree with you again man on your opinions and your favourites! Gotham central is without question a great read and with Rucka and Brubaker how can you go wrong? The Doom Patrol omnibus is awesome and I was lucky enough to find it for $40 in mint condition on the FB marketplace. Just a couple that stand out to me as my favourites of my collection for one would be the New 52 Batman and Robin omnibus. To me besides Snyder’s Batman this book was excellent from beginning to end. The writing is PERFECT as Pete Tomasi is extremely underrated and he made me actually care about Damian as a character and I loved the relationship between him and Bruce. The dialogue free issue dealing with the aftermath of Damian’s death brought tears to my eyes and I don’t remember the last time a comic did that before or since. Others that are my personal favourites as they were series I had long waited to be collected would be the American Vampire Vol 1,Orion by walter simonson, and Namor by John Byrne and Jae Lee. I also agree with you on your choice of X-men as all those stories were favourites of my childhood especially mutant massacre and the outback era. I only wish marvel would collect Ann nocetti and JR jr’s Daredevil run in a omnibus or Dc would do a Suicide squad or The Question omnibus from the 80’s I would be in heaven as all of those are very close to my heart ❤️ GREAT video as always!!!!
Greetings from Spain! Another cool video, good list, but i see important absences, like Silver Surfer by Slott and the Allreds! Anyway, i am looking forward the batgirl reading order video, and waiting for more videos focusing in the DC Comics 2000 era, which in my opinion is one of the best (in the superhero genre), can’t wait to see you talking about Checkmate, Detective Comics by Rucka, Outsiders by Winnick, Teen Titans , Hawkman by Johns, Green Arrow by Smith, Meltzer & Hester...
Being a silver surfer fan i remember reading the new warriors issue which had Terrax in them! how cool is that?! (And a silver surfer appearance too) :)
Wouldn't have called this list at all except for your New Warriors and UXM! Looks like I should add a few to my wants list... Also, nice t-shirt. Best video game of all time.
You have to specify what kind of bad... An Omnibus can be considered bad for many reasons. IMO the worst are the ones like DC's Rebirth. Which is just a collection of 1st issues... However they can also be bad for other reasons. Like being WAY to short like Ms Marvel omnibus. Or having a really bad binding like Miles Morales omnibus.
No Omar....cheapgraphicnovels is not having a "Halloween sale" lol......surprising choices on your list of favorites. X-Men was a given for #1. Glad to hear you hype up the Annihilation Conquest book. Makes me glad I picked it up several month ago. I am curious about JSA and Doom Patrol. I don't think I will ever pick up any of the Conan books though. Not familiar with them at all but maybe one day I will change my mind if I read some of the material and end up liking it.
LOL, I actually own _The Colossal Conan_ , still factory-sealed in shrinkwrap (and even still in the original cardboard box that Dark Horse included with their _Colossal_ line). Never quite had the stones to open it up (though I've read the run multiple times), and then it absolutely skyrocketed in value. Got a kick out of seeing that at the very end of the episode.
@@NearMintCondition Ha, yeah, I'm still shocked at how expensive it now is, and last year I *ALLLLLLMOST* came close to finally opening and reading it, but just couldn't bring myself to do it. Figure I could always keep it in reserve in case I ever need to raise some funds in the future (God forbid), but yeah -- I absolutely love how it looks on my bookshelf.
1st, we appreciate you for sharing your love of comics with us Minties! My collection isn't anyhere near yours, so my top ten are based on the omnis I have, and have read. *Captain America by Ed Brubaker *Daredevil by Brian Michael Bendis *Punisher Max by Garth Ennis *Thor by Dan Jurgens *Iron Man by Kurt Busiek *Weapon X The Return by Frank Tieri *Fantastic Four by John Byrne *Spider-Man by Roger Stern *Hawkman by Geoff Johns *Uncanny X-Force by Rick Remender
Thanks for this Omar! I’m getting ready to grab an omni from Amazon since I’m getting all these Amazon gift cards for my Bday/Xmas. This is helping me narrow down which one ☝🏽 to get first!
Amazing video. I really love "top x" videos and i'm so glad you made one! Furthermore i'm very happy that Gotham Central is high on this list. Such an incredible (and sadly underrated) omnibus. Shame that Johns Green Lantern is missing, as i know you said before that you love it. But i understand not all of them can make it into the top 10 :-)
In no particular order -Green Lantern (G Johns) Vol 2 -Mighty Thor (Simonson) -Xmen Age of Apocalypse -War of Kings -Realm of Kings -Aquaman (G Johns) -Flash (Buccellato) -Dr Strange Sorcerer Supreme Vol 1 -Astonishing X-Men (Whedon) -Batman Omnibus by G Morrison vol 1 It was hard not saying the entire GL run and Including the WoK Road To. Also, I don’t own the Infinity Gauntlet Omni or Inf. War Omni or they might be there. Also I don’t have any of the Jim Lee xmen omni’s or they would be on the list too.
Awesome vid I'd like to see this with absolutes and OHC I don't have a top 10 but I love uncanny x-force omni cos it's my favorite marvel run and the cable deadpool omni because it has the whole series in one book and the Howard the duck omni cos I'm just glad they made it
I don't own a crazy amount of omnis so here's a top 5 in no particular order: 1-Fourth World Omnibus 2-Superman Golden Age vol 1 3-Namor by John Byrne 4-Batman by Grant Morrison vol 1 5-fantastic Four by Lee and Kirby vol 2
You don't have to own a crazy amount to appreciate the books that you have on your list. I love the variety in there. That Fourth World is something I'm going through for the first time.
@@NearMintCondition Yeah, I like to think I'm pretty unique in how I can appreciate stuff from all eras. Now that I'm looking back on it, I literally have an omni from each of the 5 major comic eras in my list. Fourth World is amazing, inspiring stuff. Enjoy it.
My Favorite Omnibus are 10.Animal Man By Grant Morrison 9.Hawkeye By Matt Fraction 8.JSA By Geoff Johns Vol.3 7.Deadpool By Gerry Duggan 6.Fantastic Four By Jonathan Hickman 5.Wolverine And The X-Men 4.Superior Foes Of Spider-Man 3.Daredevil By Mark Waid & Chris Samnee 2.Justice League International Vol.1 1.Amazing Spider-Man By David Michelinie & Todd Mcfarlane Honorable Mentions .Avengers By Kurt Busiek & George Perez .Hulk By Peter David Vol.1 .Fantastic Four By Mark Waid & Mike Wiernago .Marvel Cosmic(GOTG,Nova,Annihilation,Annihilation Conquest)By Dan Abentt & Andy Lanning .Gotham Central .Hulk By Jeph Loeb & Ed Mcguinness .Uncanny X-Men By Chris Claremont(Vol.1-3,XMEN By Jim Lee Vol.1-2,Mutant Massacre,X-MEN CLASSIC) .Amazing Spider-Man By David Michelinie & Erik Larsen .Teen Titans By Geoff Johns .Flash By Geoff Johns .Aquaman By Geoff Johns .New Teen Titans By Marv Wolfman(Vol.1-4) .JSA By Geoff Johns Vol.2
My top would be: 1. Infinite crisis omnibus 2. JLA by Grant Morrison omnibus 3. Batman by Grant Morrison vol.2 omnibus 4. Aquaman by Geoff Johns 5. Hellblazer by Garth Ennis omnibus 6. Planetary omnibus 7. Batman by Grant Morrison vol.1 8. Batman road to no mans land omnibus 9. Flashpoint omnibus 10. Batman by Grant Morrison vol.3 omnibus
My top 5: 5 - Captain America by Brubaker 4 - Wolverine by Mark Millar 3 - New X-Men by Morrison 2 - Punisher by Garth Ennis (love all 3 the same, can't decide which one more) 1 - Ultimates (My favorite comic overall) Did not have a lot of DC, but definitely love Planetary, Gotham City Sirens and Batman by Loeb/Sale
I agree, that Uncanny 3 is the best X omnibus. Better than the Phoenix Saga imo. My other favourite is the Jim Lee Vol 1 X-Men. I really enjoyed the deconstruction of the X-Men. I collect mostly X omnis and don't have anywhere near the amount of none X omnis that you have, so mine would lean heavily towards X ones, but I also love the first 2 Captain America omnis by Brubaker and Punisher Max Vol 1 by Ennis. I am also very much looking forward to getting Annihilation and Ultimates By Millar omnis, since I have already read both and love them both. I also read A vs X recently for the first time and even though it is total schlock, for some reason, I really enjoyed it and now hope it comes out in hardcover or omni.
Good choices! I'm glad you included dOOM pATROL. I'm not a GRant Morrison fan but this is one series he got right. PS Could you please add a link to the Epic Editions Podcast on the listing for the video you recently did with the host? Thanks.
Great list, Omar! I believe I have all of these still sealed. I have not read any of them yet; time is at a premium for me but I am trying to have a ton of reading for retirement. Also, I am trying to not fall a year behind!!! LOL. I swear I'm going to catch up some day.
This is a great video, one definitely made with a lot of heart and passion and I respect that. I have been reading a lot of manga lately, and only recently got back into comics so this list definitely helps when it comes to figuring out what I want to collect. For me, my favorite Omnibus I've experienced so far is the Geoff Johns Aquaman Omnibus. I love Aquaman. He's my second favorite superhero(Favorite is Dr. Strange) and Geoff Johns' run was amazing. The art by Ivan Reis is fantastic and the coloring is amazing. And also, it's Geoff Johns which I do love his work.
Crazy thing.. I just started reading Uncanny X-men vol 3 (Yes, it has been taking me awhile on my read through of uncanny with reading all the other comics that have been coming out). Volume 3 is great! You could have chosen any of the first 3 omnis! Volume 2 has the days of future past stuff. Crazy seeing the prices on eBay for these at the moment. (Great comics though). X-men is the diggity! :P -- As always, awesome vid Omar! Keep it real! Omnibus top 10 list: 10. The Amazing Spiderman vol.1; 9. Dr. Strange Sorcerer Supreme vol 1; 8. Neal Adams Batman; 7. HellBoy Omnibus vol 1; 6. The Punisher by Garth Ennis; 5. Conan the Barbarian (marvel years) vol 1; 4. Fantastic Four Omnibus vol 2; 3. The death and return of Superman; 2. Uncanny X-men Vol.2; 1. Batman Knightfall --- honorable mentions: Michelinie Iron Man Omnibus, Roger Stern Spider-Man, Age of Apocalypse, Punisher Rick Remender, X-Men Jim Lee Omnibus vol 2. -- Was a tough list, as you mentioned, couldn't list Sandman..
Uncanny X-Men #168. So iconic to me that my best friend painted the cover art on canvas for me to hang it up. Without the logo and everything... Nobody knows what it means but me, and I grin at it every day.
My favorites: 1. X-Men by Morrison 2. Captain America by Brubaker 3. Daredevil by Miller 4. Daredevil by Miller Companion 5. Green Lantern by Johns 6. Batman by Grant Morrison 7. Fantastic Four by Lee and Kirby 8. Infinite Crisis 9. JSA by Johns, Goyer, and Robinson 10. Fourth World by Kirby These are also the only ten I own (so far).
Great vid Omar. Which would you recommend between the American Vampire and Lucifer Omni's? I'm a huge vertigo fan but also a huge Snyder/king/horror fan and not sure which is better having never read both. Rereading Gotham central Omni now and love your passion for it too!
Mine would have to be: 10. Uncanny X-Force 9. Infinite Crisis 8. Immortal Iron Fist 7. Planetary 6. Brubaker Cap vol. 1 5. JLI vol. 1 4. Hickman FF 3. 52 2. New X-Men 1. Animal Man by Morrison Honorable mentions: X-Statix, Final Crisis, Doom Patrol, Deadpool by Kelly, Simonson Thor, FF by Byrne
Glad a few people are including the Planetary Omnibus in their list. I have never read it and wasn't going to pick it up but now I am considering looking into it. The story and the art look cool
I love Authority too, well the Ellis stuff anyway.. But yeah, Planetary was one of those books that got me back into comics after a bit of a hiatus, so it holds a special place in my heart.
Man I love your channel! I discovered recently because I've recently started reading all these wonderful graphic novels. Could you please recommend some original graphic novels in Spanish? (If there are any...) Saludos desde Argentina!!
1:35 Got you Omar 😄 Nice list by the way. Astonishing X-Men will be my #1 , once I get the reprint. Right now my top 3 is probably: 1) Spider-man by Stern 2) Uncanny volume 1 (haven't read 3 yet) 3) New X-Men
1. Miles Morales: The Ultimate Spider-Man 2. Oz Omnibus 3. Ms. Marvel Vol. 1 4. Daredevil by Waid and Damned Vol. 2 5. Hawkeye by Fraction 6. Deadpool by Posehn and Duggan 7. Silver Surfer by Slott and Allred 8. Fantastic Four by John Byrne Vol. 2 9. Realm of Kings 10. Thanos Wars: Infinity Origins I'd easily change that #1 for a Question Omnibus. And yeah I only own Marvel Omnis.
Conan the Barbarian by Kurt Busiek omnibus is slated for a print in December 2020. Collecting Conan: The Legend (2003) 0; Conan (2004) 1-28, 32, 39, 45, 46 & Conan: Book of Thoth (2006) 1-4
Thy Holy Omar is the doom patrol omnibus spine or binding good because this is gonna be my first Omni purchase and I don’t want my first Omni to be a book that has problems
I found the David Michelinie/Todd McFarlane Amazing Spiderman omnibus at one of my local LCS, and I didn't get it. It had ASM #301, the first comic I ever got as a kid, and I didn't get it. To be fair, I got Grant Morrison's New X-Men instead, and later got the third Stan Lee and Jack Kirby Thor ombibus, so I didn't come away empty handed without any gems, but I wanted that one, and because I usually see the omnibus collections sitting there for months at a time, I thought it would still be there the next time I came back, and it wasn't. Real shame, but I'll find it eventually.
I don't really have a favorites list for omnis because there's so many great ones collecting great runs. But I do love the classic omnis the most and what I mean by that is the omnis that collect the original runs of the silver age like spidey, ff, avengers, thor, what have you. It's great to have those awesome classic runs reprinted beautifully in oversized format. Hurts the wallet, but is good for the soul I always say lol. Also another thing I wanted to say is, and I know this sounds odd as hell, but you look and kinda sound like tony stark on the avengers earth's mightiest heroes cartoon which is on disney plus 😂😂. Idk what it is, but you give me that vibe lol. Great show btw
omnibus Marvel , x-man 123 uncany , Jim Lee visioner 2 vol. , classic x-man , Spiderman John romita s., 234with others ,man thats more then 10 , namor John byre , Conan barbarian 1, 2 and savage Conan 1,2 .and more DC oh man l cant make only 10.
My 10 Faves in no order: Sleeper Omnibus Darkseid War Omnibus JSA Omnibus 1-3 Squadron Supreme Omnibus Green Lantern by Geoff Johns Omnibus 1-3 Blackest Night Omnibus Wonder Woman by Brian Azzarello Omnibus Earth X omnibus 1&2 Final Crisis Omnibus Infinite Crisis Omnibus
