And after about 4.5 yrs of this video, they released the 10th and the final issue. Your prediction was absolutely spot on. I bow to you for your indepth knowledge 🙏🏼
Its amazing coming back to this video and seeing how much you've improved in 5 years since. From the camera angles to the editing. I like the rawness of the older ones but you have definitely upped the quality in your newer videos. :-)
I just picked it up this morning along with Further Adventures of Red Sonja and Absolute Watchmen. Instocktrades didn't have the variant cover. so I went with the regular cover. I am thankful for folks like you who gives us indepth previews of omnis because I like to see the artwork before I make a purchase. Lots of great stuff being released this year! I can't wait for the Ms. Marvel Omnibus. I picked up the Marvel Masterworks volumes, but I am glad they are collecting everything in one big book. I can't wait for New Teen TItans vol 4 by George Perez and MWC Savage She Hulk Vol 2. Ugh, my wallet is going to take a hit this year.
Awesome vid - thanks for posting! God I can't wait until the third Omni comes out. That John Buscema goodness and all the Belit / Zula era stories. My favorite!
I'm with you. That was the run that made me a Conan fan. It also made me seek out the source material and read all the prose novels. Thank you Roy Thomas.
Looking forward to receiving the Conan Omnibus later this week. I can remember buying the originals new off the rack back in 1970 and for a number or years. Thanks for the review.
@@NearMintCondition No. I got out of comics in High School(didn't everybody?) and got back into them in the 80's when a couple of friends at work pulled me back in. Got back out in 2001 when I started to collect the Marvel Masterworks. I sold my comic collection on ebay from 2003 to 2008.
@@NearMintCondition Started the masterworks back in "89. When they started them back up in 2002/03? I decided to sell off my collection of comics. Had every Marvel at the time from Fantastic Four #1, up. Was triple dipping at one time with Silver-age Omnibuses and Epic Collections, but decided to cut-back to Masterworks to thin the collection and be able to read everything. I do collect the DC Omnibuses.
I was on the fence until you mentioned boobs and dragons. Seriously though thank you for taking the time to really show the art because that is what made me buy it.
I've got this on order, unfortunately it's the Cassaday cover, but it is what it is. I'm in for the first volume of Savage Sword as well, but I don't know how long I'm gonna keep with the releases. Gonna have to actually read them quick to make a decision on that.
I bought these off the rack in the seventies and still have some of the early Barry Smith Marvel Conan's in my collection. Read and still have the first paperback Lancer editions (Frazetta covers!) of REH's Conan series. Back when I was twelve or so. 50 years ago in fact.
I also bought the Conan The Barbarian Omnibus DM variant. I've never read Conan before, I'm excited to read it. I'm also excited for The Savage Sword of Conan. I want to pre-order Savage Sword of Conan through DCBService but it looks like it's not up for pre-order yet. I might just have to buy it from IST when it's released.
It does look very sharp without the cover. I haven't got mine yet in the mail. Ended up with the Cassiday cover which is pretty bland but the 55% discount on IST versus 45% got me to make my choice. Ended up spending that 10% difference of $12.50 on another trade I had in my wishlist. The $125 retail for a 775 page book seems a little steep. Like you said they know they will make up for it with the niche die-hard Conan fans like myself. I do already own all the Roy Thomas DH trades of this series so I'm looking forward to compare the coloring between the two formats. These releases reminds me of those Master Of Kung Fu books that came out a couple years ago which were also at $125 for four fairly thin Omni's. They only had a short window for licensing the publication of those books before they go out of print so they figured it was justified for that niche market as well.
I'm so glad you found a positive in getting other trades, brother. These Conan books though, they are going to be burning a hole in my pocket when they come out every few months. :)
It doesn't seem there's too much crossover between this and the Savage Sword omni's, is that right? I have savage sword omni 1 and am really enjoying it, especially Barry Windsor Smith's art, and this book has pretty much all his Conan work right? I see they're publishing this in paperback later this year but not at the same page count, and they're doing the Giant Size Conan on it's own too so maybe they'll cover it in two editions with Giant Size separate and I don't know whether it'll have all the extras
It reads different of course but both the DH and Marvel comics are based on the stories and novels. Yeah...man 10 volumes at the very least of just The Barbarian.
Another stellar review :) I read a lot of these as a kid and I remember my older brother letting me read his Savage Sword and other magazines at the time that were big, like Heavy Metal and such. One of the Savage Swords as a child of 5 was my first time seeing naked boobs in a book....funny how I can't remember what I did yesterday but THAT still sticks in the ol' noggin LOL. I really hope you enjoy these stories as much as I did growing up. Mine just came in today and after this comment, I'm off to the reading room for a few hours :) Have a wonderful day Omar
Brother, Im so excited to dive into this material. HAHAHAHA I remember as a five year old getting a hold of those Heavy Metal mags and Frazetta's work... man.. I've must have kept that mag with me wherever I went. Enjoy the escape for while, brother.
Great work with the reading order and upcoming books videos, it's realley helps with understanding what is worth getting an also with sorting out the timelines. Thanks! I'm intrested in the G.I.Joe stuff, was wondering if you are planning to do a review or a reading order video about them? and about Conan, I will probably skip the first Conan omni and get the Savage Sword omnibus. Have a great week!
Awesome video, Omar. My copy is scheduled to get to me tomorrow, I can't wait! Sooooooo much goodness in this Omni. I'm really looking forward to reading Roy Thomas' introduction. He writes really well on the history of comics. This is just whetting my appetite for the Savage Sword Omni coming out in March. I REALLY hope you do a video on this Omni after you read it. I'd really like to know your thoughts. #OmarRules #OmarTheBarbarian
I can do that, brother. I tend to stay away from reviews as i used to do them for seven years in a magazine and I got burned out, but I also got much love for my viewers. :)
I remember reading these comics back in the 70's, the Barry Smith-ones. I wasn't impressed, so when this came out, I passed, and waited until the next volume, because I'm a Buscema-fan, but I never really read his Conan-stories. But after reading a couple of Barry Smiths stories in Savage Sword of Conan Omnibus vol 1, I need this book. It must be, because I'm grown up, that I appriciate his art now, I don't know?! I don't plan to buy all the Conan-omnibuses, probably untill "the 80's" starts. But I like these reviews. You also made me buy Savage Omnibuses vol 1 and 2.
Any idea if Marvel will do a new printing anytime soon? It's either out of stock or at price in which I need to sell blood plasma on sites I normally order books
So does the standard version not have the cover printed on the last page? I guess my q is. Is the only difference between the 2 books the outside paper cover? Are the books identical other than that? Thanks
I've never read this character before, and I usually read the Marvel superhero omnibuses. I'd love to know what you thought of the stories. Are they really good? Did you get hooked? Also, what's the reading order for this character now that there are so many omnibuses and spin-offs?
Just picked this up after watching your review. And I must say This is a great read. Got it whilst awaiting the Savage Sword Omni’s which I should have in a couple of days.I’m gona have to get them all now.Back in the day I was strictly Savage Sword. But wow, these color Conan’s are great too.
Sweet, I'll have mine tomorrow! I was able to snag a DM variant. I was lucky enough to have a friend monitor IST and text me the minute it popped, since I had to work. I'll be pre-ordering DM's for now on!
@@NearMintCondition Lol, indeed he is! Though he was wanting one as bad as me, so that helped. I usually choose whatever cover I like best as well but lean toward the original art. I pre-ordered Avengers Vol. 4 DM right before the standard cover image was released. Now that is has, I like it better.
This is an amazing cover and it should be the regular cover for the book. Reminds me of Amazing Spidey vol 2 when they thought it was a good idea to have Huberto Ramos redraw Romita's iconic cover instead of using the original!
Hi, Amazon says a paperback Epic Collection is coming in August with the same cover as this. What is that all about? Same thing basically? Here is the ISBN 978-1302925550. Loved the video but really confused about this one coming in August. Would you know what the difference is besides this being a hardcover?
Ok...i been trying to search the book but the cover seems different. Can someone pleeeaasseeee link me the ISBN for the one shown in the video? Thanks!
I got you! So this is the Direct Market cover of this book right here, content is the same: www.amazon.com/Conan-Barbarian-Original-Marvel-Omnibus/dp/1302915126/?tag=nearmintcon-20
@@NearMintCondition Thanks for your reply! sorry new to comics ...so terms not really familiar. So the cover shown in your video some kind of limited edition? and btw, i subscribed too :)
Don't apologize for being new to comics, brother. So DM means that its' Direct Market. Only sold at comic stores and places like Instock Trades. That's the only difference though.
is this whre you share your thoughts on what you read dude I'm super excited one of my family members is taking me to see aquman I can't wait in our state its out for one more day we will be leaving at one
I really hope you enjoy Aquaman, brother. I share my thoughts usually on book reviews. This is more of an overview of the book, the build and the quality.
Near Mint Condition. noice dude aquman is fucking fun man it is eye candy. and it's action packed dc really taped up their games did you see aquman yet
@@NearMintCondition btw, the Colossal Conan, does it contain the same stories in Conan The Barbarian, or Savage Sword of Conan? Or is it something else all together?
Savage Sword is black and white. It's also, IMO, much better material in regards to both story and art. I think John Buscema's best work was in Savage Sword.
Question how many stories does Conan has to fight giants snakes or any snakes story reason I ask is I want to read the classic Conan but I don’t want to read if there snakes I hate them so bad
BADASS!! I really hope you enjoy it. I hope you also check out the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe omnibus, because you may enjoy that too, if you liked Conan. I did an overview of it on my channel on Friday.
Jhon buscema art in this is way better , i think BWS in this run is overrated but whats very koo is that you really see the difference from the first 2-3 issues & his last issues he gets a lot better
They'll probably only release a few omnibuses for each Conan series. Hardly any Marvel runs are complete in this format. Also that John Cassidy cover...for shame!!
I'm hoping this is the one series they carry on with. Two a year of each title and see it all the way to the end. Printed in limited runs like Deadly Hands omnis. I'm with you on that Cassidy cover.
I just preordered "Conan The Barbarian: The Original Comics Omnibus Vol.1" for 125$. I am not totally sure how much it differences from "Marvel Years" but we will see it during the summer I guess.
Near Mint Condition so DH, this one or savage sword? What’s more “brutal”? I don’t wanna look like a crazy violence guy but Conan IS a savage...sooooo...
Nice work Omar with the Conan Omnibus. Nice to see that your copy came in. My copy won't be coming in until Thursday. I got interested in the Omnibus because of the movies from the 80's with Arnold Schwarzenegger and I've always wanted to read the Marvel version of Conan.
@@NearMintCondition Ok, I read some reviews where I was advised to by the DH TPBs instead (I didn‘t). I trust your judgement. Maybe a comparison between the versions (original, DH, Marvel) could be a future topic and helpful for interested collectors 😉

Can you do a review of the 2019 guardians of the galaxy omnibus
Which omni is coming out?
That last cover art is HIDEOUS. I hate the fact it's the only version now available.
You mean the variant by Cassidy! By far his worst work.

Savage Sword is black and white. It's also, IMO, much better material in regards to both story and art. I think John Buscema's best work was in Savage Sword.
I can't wait for that Jake!! I'm a huge fan of Buscema's art. I really need to get off my ass and get some of his Tarzan work.
Question how many stories does Conan has to fight giants snakes or any snakes story reason I ask is I want to read the classic Conan but I don’t want to read if there snakes I hate them so bad
For the most part the snake art will be in the third omnibus and off an on from there. But I haven't read anything past that.

God I'm disappointed I wasn't into Conan when this came out.
I say it will be reprinted eventually.
The price is worth it, but I’m not ready to pay it out yet.
CGN has it for 40% off.
What’s CGN?
Lol! I ended up buying it, but from Amazon. Two day delivery is good.
I'm 3 years too late. Would have loved to buy this version, but now it's $500
I just preordered "Conan The Barbarian: The Original Comics Omnibus Vol.1" for 125$. I am not totally sure how much it differences from "Marvel Years" but we will see it during the summer I guess.
@@MietoK Where from?
Did you just call me a Minty?
Oh yeah yeah
Hellz yeah, I did!
How is this in terms of violence?
Nothing too crazy like Berserk. But Savage Sword definetely has more violence.
Near Mint Condition thanks
Near Mint Condition so DH, this one or savage sword? What’s more “brutal”? I don’t wanna look like a crazy violence guy but Conan IS a savage...sooooo...
@@gxvault4166 Nothing wrong with that, brother. Savage Sword is the one you want, but keep in mind its black and white.
@@NearMintCondition :( DANG
Nice work Omar with the Conan Omnibus. Nice to see that your copy came in. My copy won't be coming in until Thursday. I got interested in the Omnibus because of the movies from the 80's with Arnold Schwarzenegger and I've always wanted to read the Marvel version of Conan.
That is for sure one of my favorite movies of all time. Movie Conan was a badass!!!! Punching horses and camels.
Arnold Schwarzenegger killed Wilt Chamberlain. I much rather the old school Conan movies than the Conan remake that came out a few years ago.
You're in for such a treat.
Great collection, sadly, the redone coloring is way too bright and flashy
I think it was a better restoration than the DH books.
@@NearMintCondition Ok, I read some reviews where I was advised to by the DH TPBs instead (I didn‘t). I trust your judgement. Maybe a comparison between the versions (original, DH, Marvel) could be a future topic and helpful for interested collectors 😉
Are you a marvel legends man 👍👍
I used to be and then I had to get rid of them to make more shelf space for other things.
Yes I know what you mean I stated last year on my collection and it’s hard to keep control sometimes 😊😊😊
Always hard to keep that stuff in check, brother. :)
10 omnis? my god... :o
Yeah...quite a commitment.
Shit I think I ate too much
