I say this with love, and this book is gorgeous but the Omnibus is truly the way to consume this story. Also like Batman and Son Absolute, which is available already in volume 1 Morrison Batman Omnibus, why can't DC spend the resources on new releases like 80's LOSH. But Batman....$$
No way. The Absolute is the only format to give you the Superman issues in their original 3D which is the entire point of that storyline and integral to the FC story.
@@GFauxfox the 3d doesn't really add anything to story, except a headache for people who already wear glasses (I bought those comics in singles when they came out) No way is the 3d integral to the story
Nor Omnibus Nor Absolute. Why can't DC just make a Deluxe edition or something. And Yeah, the Superman Issues need to have the 3D parts It's not a random choice.
Thanks for the overview! Somewhat surprised they didn't include Batman 701-702 (RIP The Missing Chapters) also written by Morrison, but those were probably just written for Batman readers who didn't read Final Crisis. I have mixed feelings on this, I think Morrison tends to get sloppy with the end of stories and JG Jones not doing all of the art is disruptive (also think the art in Batman 682-683 and Submit is subpar compared to everything else) Crisis on Infinite Earths is still the best of the Crisis stories imo, but a lot of that is George Perez for me.
The Absolute is the way to read it (during a proper reading of Morrison’s Batman) due to the Superman issues being presented in their original 3D which the omnibus doesn’t do, and because the rest of the contents of the omnibus are side stories not necessary to Morrison’s narrative.
I enjoyed Final Crisis but I did allll the homework assignments. I did find the story as presented in the Omnibus to be a choppy reading experience. I'm looking forward to giving it another shot in this more concise format.
@@ramtruth3 to be honest, no. You can enjoy it anyway, just know that some things will be totally confusing! There's a couple of approaches to this, you could read some articles or watch some videos that could prepare you. Or you could follow a long online prep reading list, and there are a number of them out there. I guess what I will probably suggest is to do what you were going to do first. And then if you want to go back and do all your homework, well that's going to take you a really really long time, I mean it could take years, and then you'll be ready to get back to Final Crisis again! I did years of reading (while reading plenty of other things at the same time) to prepare.
Purchased the omnibus and after receiving it I had the choice of buying step ladder to read it or sending it back. So..... im going to order this instead. Deluxe and Absolute only for me from now on. I'll pick up the extras in my DC Infinite subscription
This is all you need to know about Final Crisis ... Darkseid is the big baddy ... followed by a bunch of increasingly incomprehensible stuff (which Morrisson claimed was done purposely in an interview) .... then Darkseid hits Batman with his Omega beams, sending Batman "Back in Time" with Huey Lewis and the News ... I may be mistaken about the last part regarding Huey Lewis.
@@thechinchillachannel8457 crude, but you nailed it. Lol. It's easily one of the worst events I can remember. Total 180 compared to slam dunks like Infinite Crisis and Blackest Night
I’m pretty mixed on final crisis. I feel like it’s awesome and way too convoluted at the same time. And I tried the omnibus but just felt like all those extra tie ins weren’t necessary. It didn’t help with understanding the story.
Hi Omar. Hope this message finds you well, it has been a minute. Don’t want to break the DC mood on latest youtube posts, but when the review of SW Tales of the Jedi omnibus will be posted? Thanks ✌🏻
There is not a single Morrison story I like. He is really bad at writing dialogue. His dialogue often sounds like prepared speeches. And I never care about the characters he portrays.
Thanks for the review, Omar!
I've bought the omnibus, and that's the best one for me.
Now I'll be able to not understand it while looking at the beautiful oversized art.
In 3d!

@@nivekleveb8872 The 3D is literally the entire point of the story. Without it the story is meaningless.
@@GFauxfox the whole point? That's a bit hyperbolic, isn't it? Can you elaborate?

You can't go wrong with Perez. He is definitely one of the artists I must buy absolutes for, if able.
@@dockaster Absolutely!

I recently purchased infinite crisis along with Forth world vol 1 and 2 . Do you think that’s enough for me to understand final crisis?

@@xposhboyx well I also purchased Batman Morrison vol 1-3 . I think I’m covered now talking to so many people.
@@ramtruth3first volume was dope. Challenging and confusing at times, yes, but very rewarding in the end. Looking forward to buying vol. 2
Batman: gotcha! 😏
Also batman: 😮

Don't have my Ph.D yet, so won't give this another try.
🤣🤣🤣
Tried to read the omnibus but couldnt finish it, lets see what absolute propose 😃
That's nice 😮
Those expanded pages are in the DC Essentials trade I have as well.
Is it true that you have to do a lot of back reading before you can understand final crisis?
Even if you did a lot, good luck understanding final crisis.
@@DrakonR Welp.
Yes

One of the great events!
The trade paperback has the same content of this Absolute?
Do you have to stretch the spines of absolutes like an omni?
Can you tell DC to publish (a lot) more Silver Age comics? Specially Superman
Everything in DC is absolute this days
Hi Omar. Hope this message finds you well, it has been a minute. Don’t want to break the DC mood on latest youtube posts, but when the review of SW Tales of the Jedi omnibus will be posted? Thanks ✌🏻
My absolutes always come in a brown fitted box
A shame JG Jones couldn't do all the art for the series.
So, Batman, the 6 out of 10 detective, is the first to figure out what’s going on? Hmmm…
I'm sure the dozen die hards will enjoy this. 🎉
Not my favorite Morrison (though some of that is due to the general mediocrity of DC under Didio) but it's rep as confusing is unearned.
This "absolutely" reads better than the omnibus. Just sayin'.
Sometimes Morrison’s writing is just too wonky for me.
Oversized and overrated.
There is not a single Morrison story I like. He is really bad at writing dialogue. His dialogue often sounds like prepared speeches. And I never care about the characters he portrays.
It reminds me of silver age dialogue, with added smugness
I feel like that about Robert Kirkman and Mark Millar.
Morrison uses they/them pronouns. But also skill issue on your part.
