God I shouldn’t watch this, I wasn’t planning to buy, but the Omar factor will talk me into it
He’s a great salesman!
Same here. Now I think I need to buy this also….darn you Omar, more money spent on omnibus.😊
It’s really not that great, Claremont-wise, but it does LOOK great!
I have all the floppies somewhere in a box in the basement…your right it was ok…I wonder if it will read better as time passed
@@theweeze1922 my guess is it got worse over time. Drag out a few single issues and see. Might save you money and fomo.
Yes! I'm hyped for this one. I know absolutely nothing about this series but anything by Claremont is a must have for me
Sucker
The Gambit from 2022 was spooooo Bad
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.
Can't wait :) This is my favorite omnibus of 2022 :) I hope vol.2 will come out soon :)
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.
Oh I'm really getting that I love rogue and gambit
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
Got my copy on the way!! Cannot wait to read this! Remember that era that everything was “XTREME” in all media lol
Ooh yeah!!! Now we’re talking. Been a while since we had an X-Men omni. Count me in 😀
I'm excited to finally check this one out.
I knew almost nothing about this title so I’m So Happy that you did a dedicated review to this 👏
I was on the fence with this omni, but with the release coming up, I decided to pick it up. Thanks for the overview!
Will say I’m hyped for this one
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.
I've always wondered who the blonde woman in the lower left corner of the cover art at 5:42 is. X-Men #109 was pre-Emma, and, to my knowledge, no blonde woman appears in this issue.
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
i love this issue with an indian x-man, they're celebrating christmas and whatnot, pretty fun
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!
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?
Same. I've tried to collect Claremont things, but outside of these comments I've heard mixed reviews...
Kinda wanna see how it all pans out after a while. If it's good though, I'll definitely give it a shot. But I also won't lie, it'd be a good excuse to give my wallet a break if it's not.
I didn't care for this run when it first came out. I have all the singles and have been planning to sell them for a while.
Recently I have been thinking of giving it another try since my taste has changed some from back then.
I can not wait to buy. I can not wait till Tuesday shows up.
No Brasil chegou hoje 😅
Pela editora Panini 😅
This is 1 of my favorite stories
Have it coming!
I loved this series!
Ore-ordered this months ago, but never read a single issue of it!
Need this 🤤🤤🤤loved when he didn’t have a inker!! Wished he’d still do that,
I loved that run. One of the few, I guess.
one of my favourite runs
I might get this. Assuming it's still in print after UXM vol 5 comes out.
Nice
Can't wait for the new mini reuniting claremont & la rocka to come out & be collected.
Just got mine today...
Great video Omar!
Well, it's only been out for two minutes, but I'm assuming it's a great video!
Nice book bub
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'm just bummed it doesn't contain the entire series
Still on the fence between Ultimate xmen or xtreme xmen omni. Thoughts? Which one would you get?
My personal preference is Ultimate X-Men. I won both Ultimate and X-Treme in singles, but have only re-read Ultimate. X-Treme is sitting in a box somewhere. I may give it a re-read to see if I still feel the same.
I absolutely love no inker art!
So realistic and gorgeous.
Bishop is my all-time favorite anti-hero. He also can beat any x man.
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.
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.
Will u buy the George Perez wonder woman omnibus reprint?
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
Is that a Mega Man X song I recognize?!
Great ear for a mix from our pal 2mello!
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.
Nice one 🙂
"Vargas shows up from time to time" ... wasn't that Sebastian Shaw, Tessa's old employer?
In that one panel. Correctomundo!
@@NearMintCondition Yeah, kinda looks like you are talking about that panel. Hence my asking. ;)
Any news on how long it will be delayed for?
What will volume 2 contain
You had me at Claremont X-men
Hi Omar!!!
With this being 888 pages how many volumes will it take to collect this entire run?????
Just 2
@@NearMintCondition ok thanks Omar for answering
Can we say Salvador Larocca a few more times?
Ohhh yeah!
Got my copy coming in the mail
So this is not an alternate universe story ?
No. That’s another series of X-treme X-men.
I thought the artwork was better then New X-men.
Really enjoyed the first half of X-Treme. I think it lost it's way when Larocca left.
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 !
Is liquid not a person? I’m confused about who is the inker when listed as liquid. Thanks! Is it AI (artificial intelligence)? Lol
No Moon Knight, I don't know if I want it....
Time to get EXTREME! Not the best X-men but I enjoyed it far more than HOXPOX
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.
Love the spoiler alerts for characters who temporarily died decades ago
I still get yelled at on older videos for spoilers from 40 years ago. So I play it safe these days
@@NearMintCondition Just wondering because I am a fan of that character and would be buying for that aspect. Are they featured heavily in the book or do their deaths occur at the start and they never show up after?
@@NearMintCondition
DAMMIT, OMARRRR!!!!
@@eufrosniad994 I read these books when they came out, and I would not buy them based on any of the dead characters discussed. Plus this was a weak run, I thought
@@moscreefus Thank you very much! I guess it’s a pass and a temporary relief for the wallet as well 😊
more words than the king james bible but still looks pretty cool lol
Hopefully Hillmen will come back and finish his X-men run soon.
Some of those pages are full of speech bubbles
It’s Claremont. Of course the are.
Still less than Bendis
Hahahah
Speech bubbles are all the rage yo!
I'm happy gor the claremont completists this is here. I'm also happy that I'm saving $130 not buying this.
Not much extreme for me
I'm not sure. When I read the first issue on initial release, I actually fell asleep. The art didn't interest me much either. I think I will skip this and the Ultimate X-Men omnibus this week. The art and writing for both are not up my alley.
I’ve never been so unenthusiastic about an x-men omni, but I’m going to get it…because…X-Men.
please...
Ugh. The FOMO is real.
Just got xtreme x-men 1-46 and annual 40$
