Me too I don't have much Superman stories in my collection and I wanted to go back to loving superman like when i was a kid. So thanks for reigniting my passion for supes!
Simple, informative and calming, great video dude
I always appreciate your grounded, no-fluff reviews. While many bigger channels pump out reviews more frequently than you do, they're always so full of intros and sponsor breaks that it detracts from the information.
I agree, sometimes the sponsor plugs can really break the flow. But I don't blame others for doing it. Tbh gaining a sponsor wouldn't be too much of a bad thing 😅, especially if it truly benefits their business.
Just picked this up at the lcs, so stoked to read it today after the gym. 🤘😀🤘
Note while you mentioned it for Batman Golden age, the Spy vs Spy is also a reprint.
Keep up the good work man! Love your list!
how many punisher max comics are there?
For this awesome Ennis Max run, there's 60 issues (split between 2 omnibus releases). There's also the 2009 Max series by Aaron, which ran for 22 issues.
man i’m so confused about this bro, so some of them have the born cover but this one is the bradstreet ? lol hope the one i buy is this one and when vol 2 releases in june i hope they keep the last cover too
The Bradstreet covers are listed as the more common Retail Market you'll find, while the Born cover is allotted for the Direct Market. Like you, I prefer the Bradstreet covers!
Hi! Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and passion for this incredible medium. Thanks to your channel I've read incredible comics that brought me great joy, and it seems like I'll definitely be adding more to my collection too after these picks! All the best for 2025!
Wonder Woman and Absolute Wonder Woman for me.
I'm making a motion comic of Ronin Book1, it's available on my channel. Check it out if you like this book and let me know what you think. th-cam.com/video/PEa6UfTFZFQ/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for your time, as always! Is there a chance we could get a new Library tour? I'm having a hard time to find sturdy bookshelves that can withstand the weight and keep them ventilated. Any suggestions? Merry Christmas!
For bookshelves, the Dortala 4-tier bookshelves are great each shelf can clear books as tall as library editions (slightly taller Omnis) with metal struts and bolt-ins for each shelf. I also got a Rolandstar bookshelf tree, where I keep the indies (which I call, "The Indie Tree lol). The tree has held up well, considering it's housed with hardcovers, on each shelf (45 books).
Those deluxe sucks because of the dust jacket, i prefer image comics deluxe which are bigger than the average deluxe and doesn’t come with an useless dust jacket cover which always gets damaged
Oh believe me, I truly love when a publisher has such excellent production quality to do a strong hardbound cover design! But the overall paper trim, of the Deluxe/OHC/Omni, is my fave 😉
"I'ma have it one day, One day, We gon' get it one day" -Playboi Carti
It should include the FF issues of the introduction of Silver Surfer as this is a thin omnibus
While it is thinner (by proxy of the Imak Printer using thinner paper), I do agree that FF# 48-58 should've been included or the alternate "Cosmic Experience" origin story.
👀👀👀🤔🤔🤔👍
crazy i found this after trump said he wanted to make canada a state
Is beyond me how Disney destroy this franchise with their stupids movies, knowing that they had here a story rich in every corner, thanks you on your recommendation, I'm getting at $100 on Amazon right now
Nice overview again my man!
It looks sooo good and the story is quite interesting, thanks for the review man!
What an awesome recommendation, Cridical. Thank you. It’s definitely going on the to buy list. At the moment I am really enjoying the second Star Wars omni by Gillen and Pak. Do you have any other Dtar Wars recommendations?
Appreciate it. In terms of recommends, content in: Vader 2015 by Gillen, Vader 2020 by Pak, Dr Aphra Vol1, Bounty Hunters, Shattered Empire. For SW Legends material, New Republic (for Rogue Squadron, Thrawn trilogy and Dark Empire), Empire, Tales of the Jedi (for Dawn of Jedi, Hyperspace War, Qel Dromma story), SW Legacy (Cade Skywalker story)
Great overview, I love anything star wars. I had this PO''d for ages and I still haven't received it yet. Do you know if there was a print shortage or anything of the sort? Cheers
Honestly, I had this pre-ordered since last year, and it arrived shortly after Amazon made it available in October. Hope yours come sooner
Such overly expressive hand gestures 😅
Seems fine to me
I ordered a copy of the DC versus Marvel Omnibus (George Perez cover) a few days back from Amazon Canada which arrived the other day. Sadly the dustjacket was off position and was about a centimetre down getting crushed inside the shrinkwrap which was not Amazon's fault. I thought about returning it back for a replacement copy but decided to keep it and told Amazon to just give me back a partial refund to make up the unexpected damage that came to the dustjacket which they did giving me a 15% refund plus getting the book off at 38% off during the order so now I got the book at 53% in total.
That's a bummer to hear about the dustjacket - at least you were able to get a refund!
Does anyone know why this collected edition page count is 192 but the manga version is 280 something?
It's due to the Collector's Edition being Landscape, and the Manga release being traditional portrait/tankobon format. In many cases for the manga release, it cuts a Landscape page into 2 Manga pages
@ I see I see thank you 🙏
"Man I wish Captain Marvel got some love" is really funny to say because all I could think is "which one???????"
Personally, Billy Batson will always be my Captain Marvel ⚡
O cara fala q nem o homem da cobra, mostra pouco e fica segurando a página, ave Maria, crendeus padin ciço!
The thing is that these stories are just chances to see these characters on the same page!! Some that parallel so well and others that really don’t. Nonetheless, they’re fun but there are some gems in here but mostly fun.
I never buy Omnibuses at full price and ive only ever bought them when discounted, but, this is the first Omnibus i might pay full price on.
Get the discount. I ordered mine yesterday from instocktrades
In Stock Trades has it on sale for a pretty good price right now. 👍🏼💙
I got for 100 on Amazon
Ugh, I need this! Lmao I wish they'd do reprints of the crossover stories separately. C'mon, you can't tell me they wouldn't sell. 😂
Hi friend, whats the quality of pages? Thick , thin? Kindly reply if possible.
Paper grain seems to have a bit of a grit-gloss finish. I'd say it's thinner paper, with minor bleed through. Nothing cumbersome, but there's thicker books, out there. I'd compare it to X-Men Mutant Massacre 's paper (read it again, recently 🤓)
Thankyou, after watching you flip the pages, pages did looked like on the thinner side, the 2022 death of superman omnibus has really thick pages, just like an absolute edition, i wish they had done the same with this book. Thanks again.@cridicalmedia
Great review, got me hyped for it!
Apparently you haven't read alot of Punisher, he kills alot. And I have to disagree, Scott McDaniels art is way superior to the other book.
You didnt show the extras :(
He showed some extras in the beginning.🙂
I hope this means more new ones are on the way
I wrote this off, but now seeing it I want it haha.
Letsgoooo
I wonder why they haven't updated the Frank Miller Presents Web site. They stopped updating it in 2023 when they only released the first four comics in the series. I didn't even know he finished the six edition series. I was waiting for it to be collected in the graphic novel.
It is a bit odd. Might have to do with the delay, and the later issues' art changing back-and-forth to Miller. After Tan did the first 4, straight.
@@cridicalmedia I wish they would update it, so I know what they are putting out.
Excellent video, thanks!
I found this collection pretty bad.
I thought the two punisher max books rocked. Sadly all the pages fell out of my second one.
Very nice library
I have never read Sam&Twitch but I hope to one day. I like viewing the story reviews. Sam and Twitch type characters having their own series make universes so much better. Characters who are no different than the reader. they are normal individuals living life, but find themselves around someone who is facing mythical aspects and while they were living normal lives and may still continue doing so even after they find out what is happening - sometimes might join the fight the main characters are involved in. I've only read one Spawn Book (king spawn #1) so I don't know if they have any more character like this, but it would be cool to have a religious character(s) with their own series. I'm sure there could be other characters that would also make for interesting characters who are living normal lives until they come in contact with Spawn(s) and their lives are changed partly, if not fully.
Can u do tomie 😊
New manga or new series
I think the DM cover is better.
I just started hearing about this book yesterday online I’m excited to see a look at that art! Great stuff
It's really well polished. C. Ward has been doing those awesome covers, and I think you covered Aquaman Andromeda before. If you're hungry for more of the art style, look up Invisible Kingdom (if you haven't already 😉)
@@cridicalmedia yeah LOVED Aquaman Andromeda! Haven’t read anything else with Ward art, I definitely appreciate the recommendations! Thank you
Great overview as usual my guy!
Totally missed this release, but I'm still on the hunt for 33-35 out of the initial Ennis 55 run. Definitely have to pick this up to at least finish the series! 👍
Is this worth getting since I do love the punisher but the price
I've seen it drop to $70 CAD before. Probably decent if you can grab for less than $85 CAD. A good value rule is "0.10 CAD per page". Book is about 865 pages, so $86.50 will be the bar. (I'm a Canuck, 😜🇨🇦)
