Thank you for bringing attention to those that have passed Omar. A true class act and why this channel stands out amongst the thousands of comic channels out there.
I'm going to miss Keith Giffen. Without Annihilation we wouldn't have gotten Guardians of the Galaxy. As for John Romita Sr., he left an impact with the wonderful artwork he contributed to several stories.
I'm so glad you finally got to read It's Lonely At The Centre of the Earth. I talked about that one last year on the NMC year-end favorite reads video and it hasn't gotten any less impactful. Zoe is an absolute delight and the world is better for having more Zoe comics.
Been looking forward to this one Omar, been waiting the whole year!!! Thanks again for these lists, they just add to my backlog but makes me happy. I appreciate the acknowledgement to the amazing artists that passed. Without them, we wouldn't be where we are. Appreciate you dude!!
I’m so happy you liked “we live”. I know I kept asking you about it forever with the delays. The first issue is so good. There’s a sequel out which starts out so different than the first but near the end it starts being like the original series.
On Halo Jones, I think what we got ended perfectly. Sure, we could have got more. But that final episode worked so well to the point I don’t need more. Omar: if you haven’t got a copy yet, ask if Rebellion can send over The Out. In some ways, it’s a spiritual successor to Halo Jones and it’s my favourite read from the comic (and top five of any comic) from the past few years. Given the mix of story and gorgeous art, I’d be amazed if you wouldn’t love it.
The ongoing 2000AD series The Out by Dan Abnett and Mark Harrison is inspired by The Ballad of Halo Jones, and just like Halo Jones (and a lot of 2000AD stuff in general) it's really good.
The 77 are keeping some of Ian Gibson's work alive, Lifeboat is currently in print, not sure if any further volumes of that were completed, and a collection of his newspaper strip Annie Droid is coming next year. Zoe has taken over the writing duties on Life Is Strange at Titan having previously supplied some covers during Emma Viecelli's run as well as having Hack/Slash underway and a recent issue of Creepshow out. Speaking to her last month It's Crowded at the Centre of the Earth is still a possibility but will depend largely on whether her brother is in a place to collaborate on it. I will happily pick up everything she works on. Crom was out of copies of Birdking when I spoke to him, picked up Raiders and will make a point of grabbing both volumes of Birdking soon.
Talking of Rebellion and books you may not of read Omar, have you ever got to "Charleys War" by Pat Mills and Joe Colquhoun? The story and art are probably the best UK comic ever written IMHO
I don’t think you are right about We Live being a done in one. From what I am seeing online the only difference between the HC and SC is the HC has the FCBD issue in it. Volume 2 is Age of the Palladions and is set 6 years later and I don’t think is included in the HC. But I only found out about this from your video so I could be wrong! It looks awesome and you have inspired me to get it!
I know this is probably a newbie question but I’d like know what are the series of books on the shelf next to the swamp thing books? Covers look really interesting
Interesting how few big two titles are making the year end lists. Not a criticism, but maybe evidence of the current state of comics among the Big Two?
@@paulmcgrew2932 All it means is that There are a ton of stories to read and Omar loves focusing on other publishers than the big two. I don't think there is a conspiracy going on. We all know our boy loves his X-men.
@NearMintCondition only read 5 on the list. Donated them to my library. Just hate pretentious writing. Or tic tok smart storytelling. But cherish we live. Also didn't like it till issue 5
@NearMintCondition been watching and commenting for years. So wierd this is my first call back comment. I'll take it though. I so love you and the teams content. Even though I'm more on the darkhorse ,image etcetera side. Been done with the big 2 since 2020
Respect and love to those we lost. Who helped create a lot of the wonderful stories we love to read and immerse ourselves in. 'Our Little Secret' is a real life hero's tale, make no mistake. The evil villain was unable to defeat the main character 🦸♀
