Thanks for sharing all this regarding Vol 1 ! I would like to point out that even though Kirby did the interiors for issues 1 - 8, he did a lot of the covers, the last one he did being issue 30. Or so I believe. Which is why I'm interested this volume. It's supposed to contain all of Kirby's artwork on the title.
I went completely blind to the silver age omnis (your videos got me into them) and it's been great! I really enjoy this era, specially Ditko's work (I've been reading Spiderman, Dr Strange and Masters of Suspense omnibuses). I hope they make a reprint of this Avengers omni to add it to the shelf.
I just got this Avengers Omni a few months ago. I got lucky on ebay and had no idea its been out of print for 10yrs now....crazy! Im really into the simple art of that era and cant go wrong Jack Kirby art! I went as even far as spending quite a bit for vol 2. Not sure they were never reprinted along with Iron Man since their so popular movie wise now!
It's strange they haven't been reprinted yet, I have to think they will be at some point, especially since there have been a lot of other silver age omnibus reprints lately (X-Men, Thor, Hulk, Doctor Strange etc)
If they reprint this, I might have to pull the trigger since it's been so long. Some of those early stories are indeed rough, and I'm really not a fan of Don Heck's art. However, there are some gems in there, including the Kang/Ravonna multi-part story which I thought was pretty engaging. You're right that once Roy Thomas and John Buscema take over the appeal of the book increased. Anyways, cheers on the review.
Thanks for the review would love to see a review of busiek and Perez avengers run as the first vol is getting a reprint in October so prices will likely go down 👍
Yeah it's great to see that book is getting a reprint! I haven't had a chance to get it in the past, so hopefully I'll be able to this time around, and if I do I'll definitely cover it on the channel
I just checked eBay for this today and it’s more than I’m willing to pay. I REALLY hope they reprint this eventually. Thanks for the great review! I always enjoy your videos a lot!
Weirdly I think each of these Avengers books have only had one printing so far...I have to think surely they'll get reprinted at some point, there's definitely going to be demand for them
Great choice, I love the New Mutants! I reviewed the first omnibus last year, and I should have Volume 2 soon and I'll definitely review it as soon as I can!
I don't collect the masterworks so I'm not that familiar with them but I assume those four volumes go up to around issue 40, so it just depends on how much you want to read the series beyond that point. In my opinion the first 30-40 issues aren't that great, but beyond 40 when Roy Thomas' run really started to get going, and John Buscema was doing a lot of the artwork, then it really becomes a lot of fun
Great review mate, l love silver age omnibus. Thank you.

Yeah there's some good stuff in these early stories, I need to get on and review Vols 2 - 4 soon!
A newly restored reprint of this Omnibus is due out in August.
@@jonny9884 Wow I just checked, and you are right. Also Volume 2. Thanks for telling me. Cheers boss :D
@astrostar49 I'm looking forward to finally getting Vol 1 for the Kirby art, mostly.

@@TheComicBookTrove I hope so! I’ll keep patiently waiting!
This is being reprinted, including a new, painstaking restoration of the art from better source material. Supposed to be out in August, 2023.
Yeah it's great that it's getting another printing at last for those who want it, along with volumes 2, 3 and 4
Great review 👍🏻 I started reading new mutants, I just got both Omni’s would love to see a review of those
Great choice, I love the New Mutants! I reviewed the first omnibus last year, and I should have Volume 2 soon and I'll definitely review it as soon as I can!
Not sure I should get the new printings as I have all Masterworks up to Vol 4
