Great list you should do a Vertigo version of this list
Absolutely.
Oh yes
@@NearMintCondition any News regarding vertigo list?
Awesome list! I think Kirkman’s description of Invincible sums it up great when he said “It’s a superhero comic that zigs whenever Norma superhero comics zag”
Totally agree!
LOVE the list. I have never heard of a couple of these titles and now they are going to be bought! For me: Witchblade, Fade Out, Tokyo Ghost, Saga, Prophet, Paradiso and Maneaters.
Great video topic! Would love to see your top 10 IDW and Boom choices!
Love Image, but haven’t loved everything I’ve read. My favorites were East of West, Invincible, Wicked + Divine, Phonogram, Alex + Ada, AD After Death and Sexcastle. Sexcastle remains to this day the most I’ve ever laughed out loud while reading a graphic novel!
I’ve been waiting for a video like this ever since the humanoids spotlight ! Love it
Thank you so much.
Thanks for the video. I found this list very interesting, I'm looking for new titles to read and this is the list I'm going to use. Thanks again & keep up the great work Omar!
You're very welcome!
Excellent video! Wrote down all the ones I wasn’t familiar with. Keep up the awesome work, buddy 🙂
Awesome! Thank you!
Your timing is weirdly perfect I was just gonna look for image titles.
I hope it heleped.
Wow both you and Gem Mint published today Top Image Comics video! My favourite day!
HAHAHA We actually joked about that when we shot our collab episode yesterday. We had no idea we were doing the same episode on the same day.
I respect this list. So stoked that you put Glory up there!
I loved it!
Great work Omar!
Lots of recomendations for the wishlist. I've only read/own Saga, loved it. Any idea when they'll continue?
In January.
Yes loved this video great picks love image !
Thanks so much 😊
Totally hooked on your passion and channel. Hickman’s Bad Science is my magnum opus- it’s evil and profound !
Thank you so much for the kind words. I need a reread of Bad Science.
I love your top best graphic novels videos. I always find so many gems to add to my tbr list.
Glad you like them! Thank you.
A top ten of Image comics on hump day ! I love it man . As much I love my Conan and Batman comics its just something about the stories that Image offers that pulls you in completely. Thanks for this Omar !
Well said and thank you so much for watching.
Great list all my favorites are on there. Some that wasn't on your list that I would add are Spawn, The Darkness/Witchblade, Sunstone, Tokyo Ghost, and many more. That's what is great about Image Comics, you get so many creative and original stories instead of just superhero stories.
Big thank you and love your additions.
Suphero stories are creative tho tbh and come in variatiy
Great video Omar. I'm much more interested in a personal Top 10 list and why these books are special to someone than a generalized Top 10 list.
Looking forward to the Top 10 Manga video. Hell, make it a Top 20 if you can't narrow it down :)
Great suggestion and I may do a top 20. For sure. :) thank you for the kind words.
Just read God Country this past Saturday it was exactly as you described. Can't wait to check out your ORNR review of it when I have more time. Saga is also very good too need to get Book 3 to get caught up on that series.
It's so good!
Now I definitely need to read Kill Or be Killed. Thank you for providing this list.
Thank you for watching!
Great list, i've read a couple of these and the rest are on my bookshelf already or on my wishlist. My Top 3 would be Saga, Invincible, Velvet
Thanks for sharing!!
Great list Omar. I agree with a number of those and can't speak on some either since I haven't gotten to read or budget constraints have prevented me from collecting the series. Lazarus will always be my number one and it's interesting how you compared the families to the mob. I always felt it was more about those that have the most money having all the power. Deadly Class was one of those books that I bought as a recommend. I'd see it at my lcs but never gave it a second thought till I read a little bit about the background. I read the first trade and was hooked. I want to read Invincible and Chew but those are a lot of books to buy and need to jump on reading Descender and I Hate Fairyland. In fact I have a lot of Image books I need to get on. Velvet is my favorite of the Brubaker books. Reading it I felt like I was watching those Sean Connery era James Bond movies.
Velvet is so damn good. I have such a crush on the main character.
Omar rules. Great job!
Thank you, hermano.
Great titles in this video, big thanks..
Thank you too for watching.
Thanks for talking about invincible, I’m reading it now for the first time and I absolutely love it, next up is east of west.
Hope you enjoy it!
Great choices for Image Comics, especially Deadly Class, it's brilliant!
Couldn't agree more!
I was wondering if you were going to do this! This is awesome! I'd love to see a best of Dark Horse or IDW/Boom/Oni!
My 10 choices for Image's books would be... Nightly News, Pencil Head, Peter Panzerfaust, Ron Marz's Top Cow Universe saga, Spawn, I Kill Giants, Walking Dead, Motor Crush, Family Tree (I don't care if it's early on in publication! It's freakin' great!) and my favorite series of all time: The Maxx.
Thank you brother.
Great list Omar I’m gonna have to pick up a couple of those hard covers like killing giant. I have glory as well I picked it up on a whim haven’t started it yet but I don’t know what it is something about they are just caught me I knew nothing of the title but now I’m definitely going to read it.
I hope you enjoy it.
Thanks for this! My list would be Spawn, Barrier, Unnatural, Wytches, and hoping to read God Country and Saga soon as they are sitting at home. 🙂
Great list!
Good list! Mine in no particular order: East of West, Deadly Class, Moonshine by Azzarello and Risso, Low by Remender and Toccini, God Country, Starlight by Millar and Goran Parlov, Gear by Doug Tennapel, Jupiter’s Legacy by Millar and Quitely.
Love your list, brother.
Remember I asked for a video describing the ruler trick Omar! I’ve heard about it and looking for tips and ideas for the maintaining and care of our library of books:) Thanks Omar much love Bro ❤️🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Thanks for the idea and I wrote it down now.
This is a cool video. It can be used as a guide to get into independent publishers. Are you going to put all of those books back?
Thank you and yes!
Great content, I’m curious if you have ever done a first time buyers guide for the best choices for someone new to comics, like five comics to read for a comic newbie. If not that might be a good idea.
Great suggestion!
Awesome video. Drag that all our Comic Shops and "Libraries" are Closed. Gonna have to check out "God Country."
Please do!
Thanks for finally making this video, huge image fan!!! SO many great titles!!!! Questions for you.....did Mcfarlane stop production on the Spawn origins collection in hardcover after book 10? I can only find them in German and I cant seem to find book 3 without taking out a second mortgage and its killing me cause it's the one book I'm missing besides any additional after book 10😭
Sadly they stopped after 10. He was rumored to have started the series again.
@@NearMintCondition thanks for the update my friend, much appreciated!
Great list!
Glad you enjoyed it
Great list, most of my favorites are there.
I can’t wait for a deluxe edition of Gideon Falls, have you read it?
I did! Reviewed the first volume last year. It was great and I can't wait for the complete story.
Whoa hey thanks! What a great list. I need to buy Lazarus and God Country still, love Rucka. I'm reading Invincible now finally btw and it's awesome.
It's so good!
@@NearMintCondition I own Velvet, Paper Girls, Gideon Falls, Monstress and they all will be read during quarantine! Love the shout out to Brubaker/Phillips. Epic combo I loved Fatale so much.
I'm back to devouring comics due to the... situation in the world right now, and this man posts just the comics I'm hankering for. Witchcraft, I say!
More like a Sorcerer than witchcraft.
Another great list to give me info.
Glad it was helpful!
What are the odds that both you and GemMint make a top ten list of your favourite Image graphic novels? Thoroughly enjoyed your list. Saving it for a buy list down the road.
We actually joked about that when we shot our collab episode yesterday. We had no idea we were doing the same episode on the same day.
GLORY!!! I got goosebumps when I saw that book in your hands, I got the hardcover too!!!
Edit: great list, respect for your choices bro
Awesome! Thank you! I'm so glad someone else appreciates Glory.
Great list, Omar! It's really similar to my xD I just hope for image reprint volume 1 and 2 of East of West and release the last deluxe :(
I think they will
Any chance for a Dark Horse list, Omar? Love your stuff
You got it.
I actually did a really loud HELL YEAH! once you mentioned deadly class. My favorite currently running comic for sure.
That's awesome! Its so damn good.
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Definitely do a Brubaker/Phillips video!
My Top Ten Image comics are: Kill or Be Killed, Tokyo Ghost, Saga, Fear Agent, Sunstone, Nailbiter, East of West, Black Science, Lazarus and Black Magick.
You could do the 10 best sci-fi graphic novels of all time! :)
Patrícia Ferreira fear agent is beautiful and horribly underrated, I always call it a dark horse book because I have it collected in the 2 library editions.
@@jordanthomas4379 I couldn't find those hardcovers, only image's paperbacks unfortunately...
Here is a secret. Fear Agent is on my top 10 favorite Dark Horse books. See the loophole? :)
@@NearMintCondition Haha, seems like everyone has the library editions, that's not fair! Now you have to do a Dark Horse top 10 too!
Near Mint Condition definitely do a dark horse to 10 or 20
Seven to Eternity & Descender for me. Lemire and Remender are definitely my favs in comics right now. His work on Black Science as well oooo ‘chefs kiss’
I really enjoy Seven to Eternity, but I wish they would wrap it up.
I guess guess my favorite would be the ones I own:
-Walking Dead
-Lazarus
-Nailbiter
-Tokyo Ghost
Interested in Saga, Chew, and Invincible before the video. Now adding East West and Kill Or Be Killed to my long wishlist.
Great list.
I bought God Country after watching this video and just finished it - wow! What a beautiful, epic story. Thank you for recommending it
Glad you enjoyed it and more importantly, thank you for watching.
Suggestion: ways to organize your graphic novel collection. We need an updated video of your collection, Omar! - Jheff Pancho 👊
Great idea! That will come later this year, my brother. Good to put a name with a usertag. :)
Hey Omar, just finished the glory comic book and I gotta say, it was one of the best books I have read and wanted to thank you for the recommendation!
I hope they continue Glory's adventure with her family. Do you think Robb will continue the story?
Glad you enjoyed it! Seriously sometimes I worry about my suggestions. :) I hope one day they will all come back to continue the story.
My favourites are Gideon Falls, East of West, Kill or be killed, Deadly Class and Black Science. Especilly the last one is a hidden gem, You should definetly check it out if you haven't yet Omar
Ive read all those and Black Science is awesome.
We need an I Kill Giants reprint! Work that magic Uncanny Omar! 🤗
LOL I'll see what I can do.
I would love to see a Top 10 of the best 80's comics runs! Pretty please?
You got it, brother.
I wonder if we will ever get a some collective edition from early 90's Image Comic and Wildstorm Studio of such comic series as: CYBERSFORCE, BLACKLASH, WETWORKS, WILDCORE, WILDCATS, SPAWN.
sees cheapgraphicnovels sale. looks at video and goes back to cheapgraphicnovels.....damn you omar!!!!
Enjoy, my brother.
@nearmintcondition you should definitely do a top ten of Ed Burbaker and Sean Phillips 😄
I will work on that.
Oh, yeah! Time to spend that stimulus money!
have you ever read neil gaiman’s “the sandman”? haven’t seen every video on this channel of course but i’ve yet to see it come up in any of the videos i HAVE seen. relatively new to comics but it’s definitely one of my faves along with saga.
One of the my top 10 comics of all time. I talked some about it on the top 20 non superhero comics list. But it does deserve videos on its own.
Hey Omar, do you know if we will get a reprint of East of West the apocalypse year two HC? It is out of stock everywhere...
My Top 10 image comics;
1. Saga
2. Chew
3. Kill or to be killed
4. Deadly class
5. Sunstone
6. Tokyo Ghost
7. Revival
8. Nailbiter
9. Criminal
10. Southern Bastards
Great list.
Omar, could you possibly do an overview or review of the Glory book? I'm a huge fan of Sophie Campbell and would like to see inside, is this pre-TMNT work?
You got it.
Black Science is my absolute number 1. Best reading of 2019 for me, hands down.
Dalmo Mello just finished reading it! Super cool series
Love that series.
Will you do a retroview of Glory?
Lmao you and Gem Mint think alike I see
Great list, shoutout East of West! Waiting for that year 3
Kill or be killed was also really great, but i thought it didn't quite stick the landing.
A top 10 Brubaker/Phillips list would be dope Omar!
HAHAHA We actually joked about that when we shot our collab episode yesterday. We had no idea we were doing the same episode on the same day.
Gem mint and Near mint release the same vid at the exact time. I’m seeing a rivalry going on. 🧐
HAHAHA, no rivalry. We actually joked about that when we shot our collab episode yesterday. We had no idea we were doing the same episode on the same day. Just two guys trying to put out daily content with all these things of uncertainty in the air.
There's one more I wanted to put on my list but I could because it was hard to knock out my top 10 but I still got a mention it is murder falcon.
Oh my God that is so good
Love your videos. You help me choose comics for buy. I am from Russia, and you give me good info for orders.
Awesome! Thank you!
Just started getting into comics and graphic novels. Fast finding that Ed Brubaker is my favourite writer so far. Loved Gotham Central, got the first trade paperback of Kill or Be Killed but been distracted by Criminal for now. So good!
His Criminal is amazing!
That's funny. I just got done watching Gem Mint's Top Image video and saw you uploaded one too. And again I see Kill or Be Killed on the list over other Brubaker titles like Fatale or The Fade Out (I think my pick for best Brubaker/Phillips collaboration) or Criminal. I just found Kill or Be Killed to have great moments but found the way the story was presented to be kind of repetitive and frustrating.
HAHAHA We actually joked about that when we shot our collab episode yesterday. We had no idea we were doing the same episode on the same day.
@@NearMintCondition Great minds think alike.
Do darkhorse next, and also do a morbius collection and a moon knight collection
You got it brother.
Whats up Omar! I am highly interested in glory and was wondering if there was a particular reading order for it? Thanks.
Not really. There was the Liefeld series, that hasn't been collected and then this is the only main collection.
Near Mint Condition Got it thanks man, so if I get the main collection should I be fine?
Can you make a Decorum review,it just comes out from Image recently.
My favourite image title is Invincible. ♥️♥️♥️
Great choice.
NICE LIST
Thanks!
My man! coming in swinging strong by not having the stereotypical Walking Dead on that list!
I'd add: Fatale and Manhattan Projects. But that's it.
Manhattan Project was amazing!
Thank you.
Do remender top 10 as well!
Omar, do you know if May solicitations in Previews will still come out due to the current situation?
Sadly I just found out from David, everything is being postponed as of now.
What is your take on Proof ? Bought a copy of volume #3 10 years ago but was put-off by Riley Rossmo`s art . Was going through some books and came across it again & thought of giving it another go. Is it worth it ?
I've only read it once and honestly I dont' really remember much of it, but I can always revisit.
good tips! would've been nice if you showed some pages
Ok next time, I'll figure out a way.
Deadly Class is not only one of my favourite ongoing series, but it's also easily my favourite series of Rick Remender's that I've ever read. I'm still holding out hope that Image will reprint the 1st and 2nd deluxe edition hardcovers at some point in the foreseeable future, as well as produce a 3rd and possibly 4th volume. However, with that being said, from what Rick's said on his Twitter it doesn't seem likely as they cost quite a bit to manufacture and produce. 😕 😑
I watched the 'I killed giants' movie and enjoyed it not knowing it was a comic book. Just ordered it along 'Glory' that I never heard of before.
I hope you enjoy those.
How dare you sir, Poyo was NOT overused. (Love love love this list, especially your choice for Brubaker/Phillips)
Hahahaha.. :) I stand by my statement. Thank you so much for watching and the kind words.
Love all these books except for Glory which I haven't read. Two others that especially deserve more attention would have to be Head Lopper and Prophet! Amazing series with next level cartooning.
I'm a huge fan of Prophet and hope they do a hardcover collection one day.
Hey Omar, do you know the reason why DC decided on doing a Fables Compendium instead of an Omnibus? I think this series deserves more than a simple Softcover release.
They were worried not enough people were going to buy the omnibus. I don't know who makes these calls.
@@NearMintCondition First they tease us with an Absolute Edition and in the end its only a compendium. What a bummer.
Hey I'm new to comics and this list is exactly what I need...I've recently finished reading Preacher and was looking forward to my next read...I'm definitely going to be getting Killed or be Killed.. can't thank you enough
Man, Preacher is one of my favorite Vertigo titles.
Is there something in the water? You and Gem put out the exact same video today ;)
HAHAHA We actually joked about that when we shot our collab episode yesterday. We had no idea we were doing the same episode on the same day.
My favorites from Image are Saga, Paper Girls, I Kill Giants, and Girls.
“Invincible” is what got me into comics and what made me fall in love with Supehero’s all over again. Another Series I really like is “Outer Darkness” by John Layman. Really good Sci-Fi/Supernatural Horror Series that I think everyone should check out.
I haven’t read Outer Darkness yet. Thank you for reminding me.
Near Mint Condition it even has a Chew Cross over( which I will now probably checkout Chew now) but sadly “Outer Darkness” which in my opinion rivals if not surpasses “Bitter Root” and definitely “Excellene” was Cancelled despite being an Star Trek/anime supernatural horror master piece.
You ever read chew by john layman and rob guillory? The only comic i’ve read that’s written by john layman so far but it is one of my favorite of all time and want to check out more from those two because of it.
@@immortaldeathgod3941 i just saw your reply saying you wanted to check out chew lol my bad. Did you read it yet?!?!
@@monstergonads11 haven’t yet but want too
So far:
Lazarus
Nameless
Saga
Rat Queens
Hit Girl
Low
Outcast
Monstress
Exorsisters
Son of Merlin
I haven't read Son of Merlin.
My favourites are Sleepless and Snotgirl.
I'm gonna start reading Skyward and Barrier. And I'm also interested in reading Isola, Infidel, Crowded, Prince of Cats and Middlewest.
You got some great reading ahead of you.
My favorite Image series:
- Saga
- Deadly Class
- Fatale
- Descender
- Sunstone
- Low
- Injection
The artwok in low is not my favorite. At all. But the story makes up for it.
A must that I purchase the Deadly Class comics this far, due to the live action adaptation, unfortunately being cancelled. I have to find out what happened after that cliff hanger of the season 1 finale. The show is what got me digging.
Top 10 Fantagraphics/Drawn and Quarterly books?
You got it.
What edition was your deadly class? It almost looked like an omni
That's the deluxe edition.
Some ABATING choices on there! Only ones I'm missing on there are Murder Falcon and Tokyo Ghost. And one suggestion from me: how about a top 10 Marvel and DC stories everyone missed out on? Like Remenders Venom 😉
Edit: Oh and if you wanna shoot me out in the Video my last name is pronounced Jimbala.
Jimbala! Got you my friend.
East of West
For me at least very extraordinary series.
Might be a Slow Burn but like you said it is really great pay off in the end
Totally agree!
I’d love to see a top 5 Jeff Johns and/or Alan Moore story list.
You got it.
Yeah deadly class is my favorite image book
Kinda nuts NMC and GemMint drop top Image titles videos on the same day
I think I have only read half of these. Great list tho, lot of quality there
HAHAHA We actually joked about that when we shot our collab episode yesterday. We had no idea we were doing the same episode on the same day.
