X-Treme X Men By Chris Claremont Omnibus Vol 1 Overview | What are the Books of Destiny? 

Yes! I'm hyped for this one. I know absolutely nothing about this series but anything by Claremont is a must have for me

God I shouldn’t watch this, I wasn’t planning to buy, but the Omar factor will talk me into it

I really have to say how much I enjoy Chris Claremont‘s story telling. I get a sense that I’m in such an adventure into the unknown that will be explored to the fullest. It is such an inspiring sensation. And few authors can replicate it. I got my Xtreme Xmen this week but I’m m actually still only reading Fall of the Mutants so I’ve got a ways to go. But I’m looking forward to it and am sure to ready every issue I can get my hands on up to Xtreme.

I loved this run! And was chuffed to see more Salvador Larroca, especially after his work on Dark Angel and Death's Head II. Some of his best work in this title, I think.

Can't wait :) This is my favorite omnibus of 2022 :) I hope vol.2 will come out soon :)

Ooh yeah!!! Now we’re talking. Been a while since we had an X-Men omni. Count me in 😀

Got my copy on the way!! Cannot wait to read this! Remember that era that everything was “XTREME” in all media lol

I pre ordered this book the first week of October I can't wait for it to come in the mail I used to own every comic of this series

I knew almost nothing about this title so I’m So Happy that you did a dedicated review to this 👏

Damn, i wasnt going to get this but now having listened to Omar I suddenly remembered how much I enjoyed this period of X-men. While I HATE with a passion Inkless art, Mr Laroqa's art overcomes this shortcoming so brilliantly that I barely notice it. Kudos Sir, you really are a credit to marvel

Oh I'm really getting that I love rogue and gambit

Stoked for this. I hope after X-Treme X-Men is all collected we get some omnis collecting the rest of Claremont's 2000s work; Uncanny X-Men, Excalibur, Exiles, GeneXt, X-Men Forever, etc. His Fantastic Four run would make a great omni too.

Will say I’m hyped for this one

FINALLY! They just kept pushing this book back and back and now that it is out, I STILL HAVE TO WAIT A WEEK to get my Cover?!?! I'm with you OMAR I thought the art in this book looked unique and BEAUTIFUL!

I'm excited to finally check this one out.

I was on the fence with this omni, but with the release coming up, I decided to pick it up. Thanks for the overview!

I can not wait to buy. I can not wait till Tuesday shows up.

This is 1 of my favorite stories

When Claremont was writing during the X-Men Revolution era, it sold, but it wasn’t well received by the critics and a lot of the readers were hate-reading it. Also, he was writing for the long game and it wasn’t that accessible to potential new readers. The movie had come out and upper management was unhappy with the state of the X-Men line, it wasn’t marketable. Bob Harras was fired and Joe Quesada replaced him. Quesada knew that Claremont was not without value, but he had plans to streamline the X-Men and get it to where it needed to be for a world where a live action X-Men movie was released and successful at the box office. Giving Claremont his own title was the best solution, he was free to do his own thing, but it would still in continuity with the Marvel universe. I think that his roster was the commercial and diverse. He also had several famous characters that fans of the movie and cartoons would know. Grant did not have any PoC and Joe Casey didn’t have any women in his first arc. And when Casey did add a female character, she was a working prostitute. So yeah, on the strengths of the fan favorite characters, Salvador Larroca’s art, and Claremont himself, X-Treme was a top ten seller in its first two years.

Keeping an eye on the comments because I don’t know if the interest in this is because it’s good, or because (take your pick) it’s Claremont, you’re an omni completionist, you’re an X-Men fanboy good or bad, you have nostalgia or Omar is persuasive. I’ll admit I’ve made purchases based on most of these reasons at some point, but the best thing about any Omni is when it is just a damn good book. If these are well-written good X-Men stories, count me in. Are they?

Great video Omar! Well, it's only been out for two minutes, but I'm assuming it's a great video!

I loved that run. One of the few, I guess.

Have it coming!

Need this 🤤🤤🤤loved when he didn’t have a inker!! Wished he’d still do that,

Bishop is my all-time favorite anti-hero. He also can beat any x man.

I loved this series!

I absolutely love no inker art! So realistic and gorgeous.

Can't wait for the new mini reuniting claremont & la rocka to come out & be collected.

one of my favourite runs

Nice book bub

Ore-ordered this months ago, but never read a single issue of it!

Yup, Im getting this for sure

Big fan of this serie, old Claremont fan in me closing his eyes on some weak points, from the beginning to the end. Already got all this in soft TPB *and* in french X-Men magazine, but still seriously considering to get this book...

I remember thinking the art looked reeeeeeeeeally weird at the time. I may pick this one up if I'm ever in the proper mood. Coming right before New X-Men (sort of) it represents the last bit of X-Men I would allow in my collection.

Nice

You had me at Claremont X-men

I might get this. Assuming it's still in print after UXM vol 5 comes out.

I'm just bummed it doesn't contain the entire series

Just got mine today...

I wish I could pick this one up. But I am waiting for my AVX omnibus coming in November 1st. Maybe I'll get it one day.

Got my copy coming in the mail

Time to get EXTREME! Not the best X-men but I enjoyed it far more than HOXPOX

Really enjoyed the first half of X-Treme. I think it lost it's way when Larocca left.

Hi Omar!!!

Is that a Mega Man X song I recognize?!

I thought the artwork was better then New X-men.

Nice one 🙂

"Vargas shows up from time to time" ... wasn't that Sebastian Shaw, Tessa's old employer?

Didn't enjoy this era of X-men so I won't be getting this omnibus, but that's some great art on the covers !

Still on the fence between Ultimate xmen or xtreme xmen omni. Thoughts? Which one would you get?

so this has been out for awhile, is this a good purchase or boring and bad writing and better to buy something else? Thanks for any info

Will u buy the George Perez wonder woman omnibus reprint?

I've always LOVED the art in this book but couldn't really connect with the writing (sorry Claremont). Not in a rush to pick this up but maybe one day.

Any news on how long it will be delayed for?

Love the spoiler alerts for characters who temporarily died decades ago

No Moon Knight, I don't know if I want it....

Is liquid not a person? I’m confused about who is the inker when listed as liquid. Thanks! Is it AI (artificial intelligence)? Lol

What will volume 2 contain

more words than the king james bible but still looks pretty cool lol

With this being 888 pages how many volumes will it take to collect this entire run?????

I'm happy gor the claremont completists this is here. I'm also happy that I'm saving $130 not buying this.

Can we say Salvador Larocca a few more times?

So this is not an alternate universe story ?

Hopefully Hillmen will come back and finish his X-men run soon.

Not much extreme for me

I'm not sure. When I read the first issue on initial release, I actually fell asleep. The art didn't interest me much either. I think I will skip this and the Ultimate X-Men omnibus this week. The art and writing for both are not up my alley.

I’ve never been so unenthusiastic about an x-men omni, but I’m going to get it…because…X-Men.

Some of those pages are full of speech bubbles

Ugh. The FOMO is real.

Just got xtreme x-men 1-46 and annual 40$
