This video was amazing! I love the timestamps. Keep them in. As for the books, I've never heard of any of these and they all look interesting. I wishlisted all of them for eventual purchases.
Great recs as always. I'm especially interested in Rain. Also, I really like the addition of time stamps. That way we can watch and decided if a book is for us and then add it to our tbr.
I feel like no one is talking about "What's the Furthest Place From Here" it has one large TPB with more on the way. Im reading floppies but it great. Same team as 4 kids walk into a bank which is also great
Great video, I haven’t checked any of these out. Adding them to the list. I’m especially excited to check out Zoe Thorogood’s book. Her two solo books, Lonely at the Center of the Earth and the Impending Blindness of Billie Scott are amazing!! She also did a cool Jessica Jones story for Marvel’s women of Marvel anthology!
Great video (as always)! I've read "Orphan and the Five Beasts" because you recommended it in another video late last year and loved both the art and the story - can't wait for vol. 2. I've also read "Rain" - being a big Joe Hill fan (and even bigger fan of his father, Stephen King) couldn't have missed it... not my favorite of his, but it's a nice story. "Rain" is a short story from "Strange Weather" and I really hope there's gonna be graphic adaptations for the other 3 stories too - I liked the others even more, especially "Snapshot"
Nice suggestions!!! From my side I would suggest you to chack out, 8 billion genies (by charles souls, really creative story) and What is the furthest place from here(one of my favourite reads this year for some reason) , both from image comics :p
Orphan and Five Beasts is a favorite of mine. James Stokoe's art is amazing and love that he does everything in the book (down to the lettering himself!) I've even got an original page from issue 2.
I picked up the limited edition Squarriors hardcover’s and the After life and after death hardcovers after you mentioned them in a previous video. Not to mention the Simpsons and Futurama crossover lol. So your videos help me find new titles to read.
Anyone know if Omar has plans do an updated book collection tour? Pretty sure he is now in a completely different house right? Would be cool to see how the collection looks!
Hi all & Omar! I`d like to suggest you Omar to create a Discord server, where we can make nice coversations about comics. I also need help with some older comics, which ones I have, but I can not locate them in any Omnibus editions. Or not yet released ones are these, but kinda old comics, single issues. So a Discord would be so cool, Omar! I am from EU, not from the USA, also I don`t have most comics I own in english. Thx!
@@NearMintCondition I checked this Patreon thingy. So I can get help with comics, only if I buy your Patreon membership. Sorry but can`t afford to spend money for this. So I`ll look elsewhere for free. But thanks for responding to my question.
I read Paul is Dead and wasn’t impressed at all, no issue with the artwork, it’s the story itself was very lacking in my opinion, I don’t know if this a translation thing, sometimes the meaning gets lost in translation, the execution of the story felt very flat to me. I know of the conspiracy theory about Paul dying etc etc so wasn’t unaware of the Paul is dead premise and without giving spoilers, the twist fell flat too. I had no expectations as writer and artist were both unknown to myself but even with no expectations I was underwhelmed by it, so I didn’t bother with Jim Lives because of that, for me it could have and should have been so much more than it ultimately was in my opinion
Hey Omar! Great video as always! I believe that "Logicomix: An Epic Search for Truth" deserves a place in one of your Hidden Gems lists! This is a Greek graphic novel! I read it and it was amazing!!!!
I like how Omar's shirt is a photo of him when he was younger
YES My favorite segment is back!
Same.
ASH!!!I have that book.Art was fantastic
YES! Orphan and the Five Beasts, is so AWESOME. James Stokoe is in my personal modern top 5 cartoonists.
I'm curious about darklight and orphan and the five beasts. Need to buy those! Great video as always!!👌
I hope you’ve been well.
@@NearMintCondition I've been good, thanks 😊
Orphan and the Five Beasts looks amazing
My AMA question answered!! So pumped for this! 💪

Rain was such a great comic. Need to read the rest of these suggestions!
I absolutely love this segment. I've read so many great books because of you!

I'm so glad! :)
Picking up Orphan and the Five Beasts! Great recommend!
Thank you!
Ash had a second series by James robinson, but only published two issues back in the day.

Can you do an updated affordable Batman graphic novel reading order
I can do another top 10 that is in stock
That would be great

Hello there. We have one on our Patreon and that’s exactly what we do there. It’s a really friendly place.

@@Bessas Absolutely. If you are trying to find books, really depends on where you live.
What is the 3rd book after Paul is Dead and Jim Lives?
It's Keith smokes.
I read Paul is Dead and wasn’t impressed at all, no issue with the artwork, it’s the story itself was very lacking in my opinion, I don’t know if this a translation thing, sometimes the meaning gets lost in translation, the execution of the story felt very flat to me.

First?
Brother, would you center your voice? 😉
What do you mean? Is something up with the sound?
It's much louder on the left speaker.
@@jocool7370 Thank you, let me see if I can fix that for later videos.
No sweat!
