A big factor for me is how much I’m enjoying the story
I read half of the James Tynion run on Detective Comics Rebirth (the omni is called Batman: The Rise and Fall of the Batmen) omnibus in 3 days. It was that entertaining.
Same if the story is great its hard to put down.
Read original infinity war in 1 sitting. Same for Planet Hulk in a morning.
I tried to force myself to slow down on the most recent Venomnibus
@@Raul.Alejo1098 I have that whole run in floppies.
I always tried to force myself to knock out at least 4 "chapters" per sitting, but I cant help myself looking over every individual panel's art top to bottom twice or thrice. An annoying "i can't just move on, look at this!" mentality 😅
I’m with you on this 😅
I read before I go to sleep. I typically read 2-3 issues a night. So an omnibus with 30 issues usually takes me about 2 weeks to get through.
I mean, that’s entirely up to the person. I myself typically read two issues a sitting. Regardless of the quality of the book. It is rare for me to buy a book that I’m not anticipating though. So I guess for me, it takes a few weeks if I read some everyday.
I’m such a slow reader, I’m lucky to finish one volume of manga per night.
Couple of comics and a few chapters of manga a day is my general goal.
@@KGCMX Same here. I have often struggled to read more than a handful of individual chapters/issues of something a day. I also used to only read one thing at a time. But recently I've found that I can read a handful of manga chapters, a few omnibus issues, and a few issues of some other comic (often from Marvel Unlimited or w/e) and I now read WAY more than before (even though it oddly doesn't feel like it).
Really enjoyed this video and I enjoyed how you broke down your average time per comic book era. 👏
I just started reading comics a couple months ago and finally got in Batman Knightfall Vol. 1 a couple days ago, loved it so much I read all 960 pages in two and a half days. Hard to set a story like that down.
Such a great question and video topic. Another great video Gem! What are you currently reading though? You should do videos on that. Turn into a semi "book club". I'm sure the engagement would be great on it. Also let people know what you're reading next. I know there's a lot of people (like me) who really enjoy your Omnibus and Collected Editions videos. I like hearing other's opinions and thoughts on books either before I wind up buying it or start reading it. I don't often pre-order Hardcovers yet cuz I'm still catching up on all the OOP titles since I just started collecting Omnis in February last year.
A goal I have by the end of the year is to start doing pre-orders.
👍 can you do a updated video of how many you read and haven’t? That was a fun video 👍
Thanks for the video. Great answer(s). And maybe that is why I had never try something before 1960 because the first 30 issues of Amazing Spider-Man took me a lot to finish them.
Awesome t-shirt.
*_Today I found out that those TASCHEN Marvel Comics releases will be 17 books in total. I think it's only 3 releases so far. To obtain all, including sold out ones, one can subscribe to get all(and choose the number in the edition, say you want all to be 111/xxxx)._*
Gotta find time to do what you like. No matter what it is.
If you make this q&a a series of videos call it Gem's Gems (of wisdom)!
I think thats up to you i mean. Sometimes i read 1-2 issues per day and sometimes a big chunk in a row.
1 trick when reading older books, there is a lot of expossition that doesnt really have to be read. If im reading some golden or just older books in general i only read whats essenital to the story, if you miss something vital you can go back. I enjoy books that read at a fast pace
Often I’ll finish an arc, shelf the Omni, and come back to it later
I'm wondering what's your opinion on the nick spencer spider-man omnibus. It would be cool to see that omnibus review on the near future, especially since it's my 1st spiderman omnibus. I like it for the most part.
Very true. Also, how you’re feeling. Sometimes I pick one up and just can’t get into. Other times I can’t put it down. But that also depends on how good the story is. Like you said ark by ark is the best way.
I know compendiums are different but with the spawn ones it took me like 2 or 3 months to read just one compendium by it’s self I factor my work and my day to day life sometimes I go a week without reading but I also read single issue comics from marvel and dc
Depends entirely on you (us). Which I do agree with your points. There's times where I'm knocking things down then some were its taking a while. Personal life plays a part. I'd always say "I'll be much further if i kept my same monemetum." But my goal is two issues per day. Maybe 2 issue early on, one mid day, then two maybe three at night. Entirely depends on my enjoyment of the book.
Gem got that Miguel o hará hair going. I’m jelly af lol
Era is so important more current about 4 days 90s & before can be like 3 weeks
I try to read about a hour a day on my omnibus. That's about 4 issues, 15min per average. Unless it's Ed Brubaker. It's hard to put it down
Where did you get the bookcases and lighting ?
What would be a good one to start with? Something classic but not too big nor too expensive. Something like the size of that Secret Wars one maybe?
It depends how much I want to absorb the whole thing. Sometimes I read 10 pages, stop to do something else, then when I go back, I read those 10 pages again. Then I flip slowly through those same pages to enjoy the art. Now other omnis, I’ve read in like 2 weeks.
I have all four of the Alien omni's by Marvel. I've been reading them from Vol 1 to Vol 4 since January. I'm only on Vol 3, LOL. I try to read two to three issues per night. Some of those early Dark Horse series were very text heavy.
I'm at it for a few weeks at least, but I dont spend alot of time every day reading them
I would think...2 weeks lol. But I've read an entire trade in one night as well.. just depends on the pace of book and how engaged you are in the story/ characters.
Massively depends on the era/content. Took me alias three days to read vs Claremont Xmen which took me a week or so reading with similar timings.
I wish i could start reading more Omni's! I need more time in a day
I think this will vary a lot from one person to another, depending on the age of the individual, commitments, lifestyle, ect.
Ngl, you made me feel a bit better about taking months to read silver and bronze age omni's.😅 I'm a slow reader too whose mind starts to wander even if I'm enjoying what I'm reading, so that doesn't help
For me its also how fast do you read? Do you look at the art panel for panel?
I don’t think it’s so much the material but being able to ignore distractions. Usually can get any Omni finished in less than a week.
Cool 🤔👍🏾
For me: (1) If there's a ton of dialogue it could take a few months. (2) Great artwork and I'll go through it faster. (3) The story, like the Invincible comic by Image. I had to pace myself so I didn't finish it too fast.
Usually I only read 1 or 2 issues in an evening for pre-bronze age material. For Brubaker Cap or Bendis Daredevil or the Venomnibus I knocked out in a few days.
For me I bought my first omnibus in January of this year which was the green lantern vol 1which I am still reading I’m not even half way through
Takes me awhile because I read novels and manga at the same time too 🤣
I read Avengers vol 1 by Jonathan Hickman in a week and Ultimate Spider-man volume 1 in 2 weeks. But Justice League new 52 volume 1 and Snyder Batman volume 1 took months to read.
It also depends on your reading speed someone like me can read all of scott pilgrim in one night but it will take me awhile to read all of watchmen
How do you read a really thick heavy omnibus without worrying about the spine snapping like my new mutants vol 1 did. This stops me from buying king in black, infinity gauntlet etc. Some deadpools are way to big as well.
More mordern stories i can fly through them. The o.g take ages, you definitely getting your moneys worth.
How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop? The world will never know.
For me, it depends on the era. The few Golden Age books I have, took me a while. Those were rough to get through because they were dated for me. I just starred reading Uncanny X-men vol. 1 yesterday, and I'm halfway through. But my favorite comics are mid-70s to mid-90s.
I'd say it usually takes a week for me to read an omnibus. More modern stuff, maybe less time. Venom by Donnie Cates, I read in 3 days. Moon Knight by Huston etc., took me 4 days. I don't have any golden age omnibuses, but I Have golden age trades, and they take me forever to get through, not just because of the dense and dated writing, but because I'll read a few issues, then read other stuff, then a while later I'd read a few more issues, rinse and repeat. Golden Age stuff can be okay for me in small doses, but yeah, no way I'm plowing through that.
I read for one day then get bored and leave the comic for weeks and come back
takes me over a week to finish a 800 page omnibus
a day🧐
What seems odd when reading an omnibus is that once you reach the half way point they go by really fast.
I might be dumb but I think it has to do with the extras in the back. I’ve noticed some Omnis have up to 50 pages of extras in the back so if you look at the bookmark and it’s “halfway” it’s actually 2-3 issues more than halfway
@@TheImmortalCC that’s not dumb, you’re right in that aspect. But in just the stories alone it seems to go faster past the halfway point.
Could be because the one is more invested and hitting a stride, I suppose, but the last half always seems to go by faster.
I also definitely agree with what he said about older stories as opposed to newer stories. The old ones were pretty much a whole story contained in one book, therefore more dense, as opposed to newer stories that I can seem to breeze through. Which I think really started in the late 80s, and progressed through the 90s. Once you get to the modern stuff the pages fly by.
@@2ndstreetmarvel Yeah there is definitely lots of aspects. Cause even with older books there are pages with not that many words. And for modern runs I’m reading the Miles Morales omnibus Vol 1 and am over halfway after just 1 day. And that run has LOTS of splash pages with not as many words. So it really is just an issue by issue basis.
Yup takes as long as it takes, some book read faster than others. Usally faster books are more enjoyable
Years
Sorry bro, don’t think you can knock out Marvel Super Hero’s Secret Wars in one sitting.. very dense and action packed.. hard to keep track of everyone!
Wait hold up, you're supposed to read them??
whats the omnibus?
Secrets Wars
Something written by Stan Lee? I only read the key issues. To me, the older comics are so boring, and the characters so 1 dimensional. Something by Grant Morris, Ed Brubaker, Garth Ennis? I'll read through pretty quickly because I actually really enjoy the stories.
