Batman Year One is amazing. This book looks great. I don’t know where I’d store it, but maybe I need to find a place.

I'm tired of being what you want me to be Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface I don't know what you're expecting of me Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes (Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow) Every step that I take is another mistake to you (Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow) I've become so numb, I can't feel you there Become so tired, so much more aware I'm becoming this, all I want to do Is be more like me and be less like you Can't you see that you're smothering me? Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control 'Cause everything that you thought I would be Has fallen apart right in front of you (Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow) Every step that I take is another mistake to you (Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow) And every second I waste is more than I can take I've become so numb, I can't feel you there Become so tired, so much more aware I'm becoming this, all I want to do Is be more like me and be less like you And I know I may end up failing too But I know You were just like me, with someone disappointed in you I've become so numb, I can't feel you there Become so tired, so much more aware I'm becoming this, all I want to do Is be more like me and be less like you I've become so numb, I can't feel you there I'm tired of being what you want me to be I've become so numb, I can't feel you there I'm tired of being what you want me to be

Awesome book, bit expensive but less then the original art😊

Book of the year.

The Tardi looks incredible--just ordered the box set. I was lucky to get the Russ Cochran Two-Fisted Tales and Frontline Combat sets when they came out years ago. I would also recommend the Fantagraphics volume of Warren's regrettably short-lived Blazing Combat magazine from the '60s...

I look forward to hearing about Mothballs, it piqued my interest when I saw the cover on IST. If I had the funds I would buy like so many Fantagraphics books.

I have the first 2 volume of the Gottfredson Mickeys, which actually portray him as more of an adventure hero than as a comedy cartoon character. Lots of great background info like in the Barks books as well. I do sympathize about the lack of shelf space, which is why I only have a few of the Ducks and Freak Brothers (but I am collecting all of the Atlas books). Congrats on scoring the Fantagraphics review copies!

Yo, just a heads up, Rick Veitch released True-Man the Maximortal Comics #1 on CreateSpace on August 28th. 😃

Half off the Taschen website for these on the Marval xxl versions.

Wow, I didn’t know about the Transmetropolitan volume 3 announcement. I’ve been waiting for that for years.

Some amazing looking books in that haul. Tanabe's work on that ATMoM book is absolutely breathtaking. I desperately wanted to support that Georges Bess Kickstarter, but had been pushing my budget too far, so I ended up passing on it. Now, looking at that Frankenstein, I'm kicking myself. I've got the first print on Absolute Transmet 1 and 2, but 3 went out of print before I could purchase and now finding one for a good price is like finding lost treasure. Kaijumax sounds and looks great. I didn't know that Cannon had been doing that one. I've loved his stuff since stumbling across Replacement God WAAAAAY back when. Hopefully, I'll be able to grab that one soon. Nice, nice haul.

Great pickups! And awesome video as usual!

i wish they made 2 omnibuses of transmetro kind of like how there doing the 2 scalped omnibuses.

At the Mountains of Madness is such an excellent story. Loved it and Tanabe’s artwork is wild.

Nice pickups! I collect Daredevil in omnis and the ECs in the Dark Horse trades, but I'd definitely be looking to grab the rest of these (that Lovecraft manga--OMG!). And Transmetropolitan has been on my TBR list for years now. Anyway, looking forward to the overviews...

Nice Haul and mix. Looking forward to hearing more of these indepth

BUY THE MONKEY KING MAGNETIC PRESS

I need to know if that lovecraft is worth it!

Transmetropolitan I thought was Brilliant

Some of my first comics as a kid were GI Combat. I was really into the Haunted Tank and the mercenaries stories in that title. The Mercenaries were kind of like the A-team tv show but much more violent than a prime time show could pull off. I really wish DC put out an omnibus or at least some collected editions. Great video and thank you for these recommendations.

Have been loving the Fantagraphics Atlas reprints so far. The Joe Maneely book in particular is a thing of beauty. I like the lighter restoration touch Fantagraphics went with, although the Monsterbuses (Monsterbi?) and the Ditko books Marvel put out look great as well. It's interesting to be able to compare the coloring choices between the two publishers.

Thanks everyone for watching! If anyone is watching the replay… DROP A COMMENT! I always reply !

I received my copy of UFO Mushroom Invasion last Friday. Fun read. I hope LtL’s Smudge imprint continues releasing obscure manga. Thanks for the video. Cool channel too

Exile is amazing! I've also read Centralia digitally. I think the creator was only 18 when he started on the comic. I have to push up that on my to-buy list now, it's a great story . Both are Dutch comics btw. I hope LTL will continue to find more amazing stuff to publish. Moonray has been on my radar, so looking forward to your review/overview, maybe you push me over the edge to get it :) I don't like the idea of AI art at all, but at least they are fully transparent about it, then the reader can decide for themself. It would've been way worse if they tried to hide the fact in my opinion.

My list: 10. Master of Kung Fu 9. Uncanny X-Men vol. 3 8. Doctor Strange vol. 1 7. S.H.I.E.L.D. 6. Captain America by Ed Brubaker 5. Infinity Gauntlet 4. Daredevil by Miller Companion 3. Invaders 2. Kull The Savage 1. Yellow/Blue/Gray/White by Loeb and Sale

I agree- as a FF reader from issue 5 ( first I found back in Jr High) I think November 66 thru April 67 was the highest run of Stan and Jack (issues 45 thru 52) with Spider-Man 30 thru 33 at the same time the highlight of Ditko’s run.

The only two of those I own are the Miracleman and Silver Surfer omnis (in fact, I think the only other Marvel omnis that I own are the first two Stephen King Dark Tower collections). I'm much more of an indie reader, so it takes a lot to get me to read straight-up super hero books. I was pleasantly surprised with how genuine that love story is in the Slott/Allred (Allred was my main reason for picking it up) Silver Surfer. It was a sweet, wonderful book and I couldn't recommend it enough.

Awesome stuff brotha! Really hoping one day we get a SHIELD reprint 👏👏

You spend twenty minutes apologizing for words, images and intent of the creators. I just wrote a short story for my most recent book that took place on an American sub in the wake of the Pearl Harbor attack and pulled no punches in language or intent of the "Japanese" soldiers. The story would be false to not say "Japs" or "nips" to represent the feelings (and actions) of the times and the outrage of the cowardly, backstabbing slaughter of our Navy while the whole time professing peaceful dialogue through diplomacy in Washington, D.C. through politics. Call them what they were at that moment and quit apologizing for living in the now. Hell, you even referred to the U.S. as being militaristic and warlike! Grow a pair.

That's John Belushi. Jim is his brother.

You should try the Neil Gaiman library. 3 volumes with short stories

“There won’t be any mutants on this list”…choice number 2!!😂👏👍✌️

Nice collection 👌. Could you do a video about the Trigan Empire?

So you just find out about Lobo? That's what happens when you have Captain America in your profile.

No mutants... then your second one haha

TRICK QUESTION! You sell yours to get Taschen books

Very cool!

I hope you revisit this topic. I enjoyed this very much

Would you buy the Taschen version if it will come out?

Love the art but the dialogues are so weak. That is the reason I did not buy it. Daredevil is my favourite Marvel character. Daredevil belongs more to DC because of his darker and painful character.

I know it has the big red and white Marvel label on it, but I don't consider Miracleman a proper Marvel omnibus, but maybe that's just me. But it is amazing. Here's my top 10, at least this week. I also have the Taschen Spideys, so that would explain their absence. If Taschen ultimately produces an FF volume three, it will be the greatest collected edition in the history of collected editions. In no particular order: Slott/Allred SS - one of the greatest comics of the 21st century Doctor Strange vol One by Ditko and Lee - same for the 20th century The Golden Age of Simon & Kirby - the compete Captain America and every other pre-WWII S&K Marvel comics. Historically and artistically important, and just great comics. The stupidly titled The Thanos Wars: Infinity Origin - but it contains the complete Warlock and Captain Marvel 1970s cosmic runs by Jim Starlin. The Savage Sword of Conan vol One - Roy Thomas, Barry Windsor-Smith, and John Buscema Conan without the comics code. Crom. The Defenders, vol Two - Steve Gerber's complete 1970s batshit crazy Defenders run, the best Marvel Bronze Age team book. I said what I said. FF, vol Two - you covered this. Captain America by Kirby, 1970s run - I don't have a volume One, or it would surely make this list. Like you're holding out for a Dr. Strange Taschen, I am likewise holding out for a Cap. But this seventies Cap is bonkers in the best way possible, and it is truly amazing that The King had Cap runs in three different decades that are brilliant but completely different from each other. Man-Thing - I've always felt like Steve Gerber's weird-ass muck monster from the Nexus of All Realities is the true predecessor of Alan Moore's Swamp Thing run, even more so than that character's earlier run. The Book of Doom - a giant collection of Doctor Doom stories, what's not to love?

Sez there will be no mutants on the list. Second book is X men grand design. What a hypocrite!😂 Also title of the video should replace the word marvel to DC to make it ten times better!

Great list! I already own almost all of it except for the Piskor X-Men, the Slott Surfer and Miracleman. Like you I'm a Ben Grimm fan so looking forward to the first Marvel Two-In-One omni release...

It was an interesting choice to film this in the soace under your house, Taylor. You look enormous.

Going through my own read through of 60s Marvel. I'd struggled a bit in my first attempt, but something has really clicked this time. Up to early '65 with anticipation of the best is yet to come! Quick shout out to a separate podcast, Marvel by the Month. I particularly enjoy their beginning of episode recaps of USA events/news as they go month by month - fascinating to have that context. I have the two Taschen Spider-Man volumes - worth every single penny! I've read that Avengers vol 2 is likely the next to print - here's to Thor being soon on the docket 🤞

We need a room tour! Every video I find myself more and more curious about the room you record in. I’m never sure if you’re in a crawl space, room, or what lol

Nice list. I don't even own 10 Marvel omnibus so my favorites that I do are: Alias, All New Wolverine, Gwenpool, Runaways, Silver Surfer by Allred and Slott and Unbeatable Squirrel Girl.

Cool list. I'm making my way through the taschen fantastic four run which has been great.... and what a way to take it all in. I'm looking forward also to the taschen silver surfer and Thing omnibuses. I loved the Slott/Allred surfer. Cheers

I leafned to love and appreciate the older and more traditional art work
