I feel my wallet crying in pain as I watch this video.
Oh no.
I wish I could get one of these
See how you get 40 issues for under 100 is a pretty good deal
Omar earned ALL of my trust with this video. Started collecting omnibus's... omni's? after this video came out last year. I've bought 4 books from this list (aquaman, the flash and green lantern by geoff John's, batman by snyder/capullo) loved everyone of them, thankfully my batman had the improved binding. Now even after buying 16 books this year I still look for your reviews before I buy anything. But now whenever my wife hears "this is uncanny Omar from near mint condition" she has to ask what am I buying now
Same fester I started just to read them now i cant help but buy atleast one a paycheck they look great on the wall too
Omnibi.
@@tanjiro3957
Omnibuses
Spoiler: Geoff Johns knows how to give readers the essence of a character. Hence his collections often stay in print.
How is that a spoiler?
@@ATurnerC Just making a joke playing off one of Omar's comments in the vid.
FACT. :)
too bad he’s a piece of shit human being and doesn’t practice the morals hes preaches in his writing 🤷🤷
@@HorrorMetalDaniels What are you referring to?
There needs to be a platform whereby we can vote for Omar as the TH-camr of the year.
The Streamy's take submissions for top creators.
A WEEK IN GEEKDOM Il had no idea . This is great news . This man deserves it . Keep well Gio .
@@fizzy8372 All good! Thanks for the kind words.
Gracias hermano. I'm just flattered by all these wonderful comments.
Near Mint Condition It’s an absolute pleasure Omar and it’s a fact . The enthusiasm and energy you bring to TH-cam, to comics in general is both special and infectious in a big way Your videos keeps us all informed and entertained . Uncanny indeed !
How I wish that there was a Geoff Johns Superman Omni. There is so much lore that someone knew could jump on the bottom floor and have a great time.
Completely agree with this statement.
Hey Mr. Near mint(omar)I just wanted to say thank you. I just bought the aquaman omnibus and started to read the first few chapters,all I can say this is a very nice book sir and I am having a good time reading it. God bless you sir and happy new year. You are awesome sir!
Fantastic list! Totally feel the Johns books, his GL is what got me really into comics. JSA was like Aquaman, it turned something I didn’t take seriously into one of my favorite titles.
Thanks Omar! Love your videos
Glad you enjoyed!
Yeeees! Been Waiting for this video. Thanks Omar!
My pleasure!
He-man is a fun read and a great blast from my past! I’m glad you’re recommending it for everyone
It really is!
If we could also choose out of print DC omni(s), I think these would be my top 10:
1. Superman/Batman (Loeb et al)
2. War of the Gods (WW)
3. Death & Return of Superman
4. Knightfall
5. JSA v1
6. GL v1 (Johns)
7. Animal Man (Morrison)
8. Doom Patrol (Morrison)
9. Aquaman
10. Batman (Snyder/Capullo)
11. Honorable Mention: Infinite Crisi
So my list is very similar to yours but not into He-Man and the Garth Ennis Hellblazer didn't do it for me.
I love your list. Even if Hellblazer wasn't for you.
thanks for the video, I'm taking notes on what to pick up next!
Glad it was helpful!
Love every single one you mentioned. Thank you Omar 🙏🍀🖖
You are so welcome
Man you got this one up quick Omar. I already saved it to watch later though since I'm on my way to work in just a moment.
I hope your day at work was good. :)
Omar, thanks for giving that He-Man omnibus some love. It’s an amazing book. Great list.
Any time!
I'm so happy you at least mentioned the peter david aquaman. That run is so dope
Coming back to see this video, from time to time.
Thanks for making this video!!! It really helps!
Glad it was helpful!
I love He Man and had no idea they made an omnibus. Just placed my order, thanks Omar.
Enjoy it as much as I did.
Scott Snyder made me a batman fan his work on The court of owls got me hooked .
It's a solid run for sure.
Just started getting in to comics. Big thanks for all of the help with your videos!
Big thank you for taking the time to watch and comment.
I'm glad you gave Injustice some love. Reading Year One is what got me back into comics.
Rewatched this today. Awesome video! Would love to see a TOP10 absolute editions video!
Oh man, you're right I haven't done that yet.
Omar, thanks for making this video! I hope that you will continue to make videos like this every once in a while depending on what's on print at that time. I have the Masters of the Universe omni and I'm glad you suggested that. I am also thinking about reading the Aquaman by Geoff Johns omnibus due to your suggestion on this video.
I think I will be doing videos like this every year. CGN just got JSA 2 orders so I hope it means more reprints.
It's cool that your first DC comic was Crisis on Infinite Earths. I know what it's like to have an odd jumping-on point, because for me, it was a late 90s trade of Marvel vs DC. That was literally my introduction to both companies and their characters. Before that, I didn't even know there were two big comic companies, just that the X-Men and Batman cartoons had different art styles. I certainly know a lot more now. :)
Great video and list Omar.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great list and happy to own them all. More importantly great suggestion on the injustice vs masters of the universe HC. Didn't know about it and noticed it isn't collected in the injustice 1 Omni or the coming second Omni either. Ordered right away. Thanks Omar!
You are more than welcome.
Funny you mention 3 years from now haha… I just came from your three year later update!
I still stand by this list too. :)
Great choices. I have Johns Aquaman omnibus and it is amazing. I will definitely pick up flash. I’ve become a fan thanks to Waid’s run. I also have the He man Omnibus. Thank you for this.
That's awesome that you liked Aquaman too.
Great list brother! Definitely bumped up my purchasing desire for Morrison's doom patrol. The only other one I would have considered adding is Wonder Woman by Perez! Flawless introduction to a modern wonder woman that ties in cool Greek mythology and modern super heroics. Love what you are doin, Keep it up!
I love WW by Perez. However, oh man it is wordy.
The Hellblazer and the Batman Omnibus' I have already and they're so good. Great review once again. Cheers!
They are damn good.
Love this video. Looking forward to the Manga one.
Coming soon!
Wow Omar! What a decisive and bold selection He-Man omnibus - I never delved into the Saturday morning cartoons because I was always playing Dungeons and Dragons .
That's an awesome excuse.
Thanks for the recommendations! This DC novice just ordered JSA Vol. 1 and Doom Patrol.
I really hope you enjoy it.
Doom Patrol is my favorite comic. Period
Some top notch picks, Omar. There is not a single omni-pick I would disagree with. Only... you made me want to re-read all of them now. Thanks :D
Thank you so much.
Glad to see JSA as #1. I absolutely love Johns run with the JSA!!
I agree.
Just got the 3 lantern omnis and the blackest night one, heard great things about these, I’m super hyped!
Hope you enjoy it many thanks to Omar for introducing Geoff Johns to our lives
@@purplerain225 thanks man, heard these are amazing I can’t wait!
@@larryphoenix2339 Definite re-read value there. Glad to hear his Teen Titans run is getting an omni reprint. Maybe one day DC will do his Superman in OHC as well.
@@purplerain225
That would be great if they printed his superman in omnis and maybe alongside kurt busieks run all mapped out correctly. I wouldn’t be surprised if they did as all his runs seem to be getting the omnibus treatment.
Fifty-Two was my introduction to DC. I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in DC as a whole.
I will keep banging pots and pans vaguely in the direction of DC until we get an omnibus reprint.
It’s worth reading identity crisis, infinite crisis then 52 if anyone reading this is new like me, I just jumped right in never having read anything dc before and I was perfectly fine despite all the characters that show up
He-Man has an omnibus?! Adding it to my list with pleasure.
Thanks for the solid reccos!
This was a Great read list . There are a few books I am going pick up when I can afford them.
Hope you enjoy them, brother.
I love He Man and his world. Any new He Man comics coming ? He is so underrated. I want more
This is all so far, besides the Injustice book.
Nice video! I own 4 of these myself!
Right on!
Great vid brother all the picks are spot on. Just got that He-man if they ever deside to make another animated show they need to model it after the comics for sure. The 2000's remake was great.
Oh I loved the 2000 series too, my brother.
Damn love it again! U gonna do a New reader on non dc/marvel comics too? Looking forward to it!
Excellent idea. I can do that.
Awesome Video. Was a flash Omni Vol 3 announced because vol 2 does not include rebirth
Sadly no. We have a Flashpoint omnibus.
The masters of the universe omnibus is a great. Had low expectations when I bought it and was so pleased.
Same here, felt more like a new age Conan story.
Green lantern rebirth by Geoff Johns was my first dc book.. fell in love with the characters and mythology of the emotional spectrum
It's an amazing book.
Near Mint Condition I just brought the 3 omnis and the blackest night one, can’t wait to dive into them!
My favorite lantern is also Kyle Rayner!!!
My man!
Thank you Senor
Any time
Finally, I can refer back to this video. Just collected my first 4 DC Omnis. Geoff Johns Green Lantern vol 1, Snyder and Capullo Batman Vol 1, and Injustice 1 and 2 Omnis
Hai man what did you think of all the books? and how much did you pay for em?
@@semkwast2172 injustice 1 was the best of the 4. But ALL 4 books were soo good. I got them from Amazon Geoff Johns was I think around 80? The other 3 were around 80-90
Great list. I’ve been wanting to get jsa volume 1 but have been trepidatious because volume 2 is out of print. Maybe I’ll just get volume 1& 3 an hope for a volume 2 reprint and just get the trades to fill the gap in the mean time. Everyone talks so highly of the run I’m chopping at the bits to read it.
You should at least get volume 1.
Great video
Thank you.
Great suggestions. Really appreciate this. Will you please do an overview of The Supergirl by Peter David books you have?
Eventually I will.
Im glad you've done this cos gem Mint collectibles just chucks stuff on when they're out of print
I can’t do that. I have to make sure I can suggest books that are widely accessible to people that actually want to read them.
I definitely wanna get the He-Man book...🤘🏼💯✔️
I would mention Omnibuses such as Sandman, Preacher, Planetary, Authority, Gotham Central and Darkseid War Saga. Good video!
Thank you so much. I was sticking to books in print. So everyone has a chance to get them. Preacher and Sandman I own in Absolute format.
He man was such a ride to read. It's one of my favorite omnibus. The only problem for new readers? A 1500 hundred page omnibus would be rather daunting for a new reader.
I think they'll get hooked. It's that good.
“Current continuity”
Me: laughs in death metal
Or 5G or Future State.. oh yeah it will keep happening.
That He-Man omnibus is the BOSS! It is really good. Mind you, I am a huge Masters of the Universe fan. So I’m pre conditioned to enjoy good He-Man tales. But that also makes me extra critical of these stories too. If they weren’t any good, as a He-Man fan I would be excited about these stories. So yeah, if you like He-man, this is a great book for you. If you’re not familiar with He-Man, it is a great entry point, as Omar says. But it is very expensive. So make sure you want it before you buy it. I’ve read a lot of these stories many times. Big recommendation from here.
Patreon - get on it viewers.
Give back to this great bloke and channel - he does so much for us for free!
Thanks for that, my brother.
Hi, Omar ! The correct way to speak Ivan Reis’s nome is E-van Rraiz ! You’re almost there, congrats on that and for The show ! Hugs from Porto Alegre, Brazil.
So close!
Still following this list after 7months. So far i got the flash geoff johns vol 1. Slow in the first 2 chapters (im starting reading it) but the plot is quite a mystery and i love it.
I'm so glad you are enjoying it. Its a little bit of a slow burn, but damn when it picks up.
wow so huge nice collection
Big thanks
Ok so rewatching this in 2021 and JSA vol 1-2-3 are still in print wow. I should probably get them soon.
They are phenomenal!
Literally ordered and just received the MOTU Omni last week. Its so much FUN!!!!!!!!!!! There's even a He-Man/Thundercats crossover contained in it the artwork is so colorful and fun. Love all your suggestions Omar! Serious question Omar if you read this, I am a diehard completionist. Is JSA Omni Vol1 a self contained story or does it roll right along into vol 2? If there isn't a satisfying enough story arc end to the first volume I don't think my heart can take possibly never getting volume 2 or at least having that "hole" between 1 and 3. It's to bad because I deeply love older age and modern age comics equally and these sound so up my alley and I know I will love it and be soul crushed never owning the middle one.
Sadly JSA rolls into 2 and 3. I hate HATE that volume 2 is out of print and now volume 3 is out of stock.
Good list Omar. I’d replace he-man with Batman by Loeb or the new teen titans omnibus, the new Jla by Morrison, or green arrow by grell
He's talking about available omnis and the Green Arrow one isnt available yet. It's supposed to come out in the first part of September and I hope it's not pushed back since Grell is my one of my favorite artists and GA is one of my favorite characters next to Booster Gold and Green Lantern.
ShastaHawk I know that, but I considering anything that you can preorder in print.
Btw some ppl already have their Green Arrow Omni’s and the cover looks dam sexy. It came out in some places this week. I’m not worried about the release on Sep 2 getting pushed back.
Great additions. I just wish JLA would come out already.
Near Mint Condition yeah and I wish they used your mapping.
Ethan Van Sciver is comics gate! Reeeeee!
His artwork is fantastic. Thank you EVS.
Lol I don’t think he watches my channel. But regardless of what he says and how people feel about him. He is still my favorite GL artist.
Near Mint Condition same here. Hes one of my favorite artists. Don’t have to respect him as a person to enjoy his art
I hit that like button 5 TIMES for more awesome effect!
That He-Man Omni is so good.
YES!! Its so underrated.
Well since I was waiting til next week to order omnis, I can throw one or 2 more in the cart lol
Now that's my way of thinking!
ORNR for: JSA Virtue & Vice and Avengers Forever. Two awesome books that share an artist: Carlos Pacheco.
YES!
CGN had JSA omni volume 2 back in stock for a hot minute about a month ago.
Oh yeah. Who you think let them know? ;)
Snyder's batman was my first introduction in DC comics. An it it will always have a special place in my heart
Great way to start.
Yh court of the owls is what turned me to a DC geek
This video was made for me even though I'm an old reader. I dont own any omniboos!
Once i copped my first omnibus i was hooked, now they are a major part of my collection. I even find myself holding off on collecting some tpb's in favor of waiting for the omnibus version to come out.
@@EvXXL97 Omar is a drug dealer but deals books?!
HA :)
@@Chandasouk omar givin me my comic fix #OmarthePlug
Omar you need to do a video on your top ten favorite Geoff Johns collected editions. Also why does Omar think that Tom King is still on Batman?
Dallas Grey Tom King hasn’t technically finished his run, he moved to another title Batman/Catwoman , continuing his story
I thought he was going to wrap up everything with Bat/Cat.
Near Mint Condition yes
Johns' JSA run is great but it's at its best in Vol 2. Naturally that one goes OOP first.
Yeah, sadly its oop right now.
Batman Scott Snyder Omni is still in print with a 22 dollar coupon on Amazon making it a whopping 44 dollars! I had just ordered it before watching this video and glad its on the list. I have it already in TPB's already but glad to get it in omni form for such a great price.
Heck yeah
Oh yeah, I like big books and I can not lie!
You know I do.
As a new omnibus collector, I have often wondered why DC has never released an omnibus of Superboy and Krypto and all of their Early adventures. Any thoughts?
As an old omnibus collector I’m still trying to figure out how they run their business and the logic behind it
@@NearMintCondition
Thank you for your reply! It's nice to know I'm not alone and confused concerning the release of Superboy and his dog Krypto in an omnibus.
One closing thought. With the popularity of Planet of the Apes in recent years I am also very surprised that marvel comics has not released their comic book 70s adaption of Planet of the Apes based on the first two movies. Personally, I would love to see that in a mini omnibus.
I haven't read many omnibuses but I really enjoyed the Aquaman omnibus!
Thats a great one by Geoff Johns.
Teen Titans and JL by Geoff Johns is really good. Like some of the best 50ish issue runs on those characters.
JSA....... HELL.YES. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I see a lot of top 10 lists but as you already know there are so many good omnis what about doing a top 20 or 25 or even higher
This list brought to you by Geoff Johns. Thanks for the list, Omar. As always, I appreciate your perspective.
I would add New Teen Titans Omnibus (Wolfman and Perez) and Justice League of America by Gardner Fox and Mike Sekowsky (a silver age run) and Adam Strange Silver age by Gardner Fox and Carmine Infantino who has never looked so good as when he is being inked by Murphy Anderson. Gardner Fox is the Silver age Geoff Johns :).
And if I was to remove and burn one omnibus on your list it would be the Superman/Batman by Loeb. The dueling dialogue boxes of Superman and Batman drove me crazy - and not in a good way.
LOL I wish Geoff Johns would have brought this list. NTT sadly went out of print, the last thing I want is people yelling at me...again. :)
@@NearMintCondition OOP? That's funny, I checked amazon.ca before I suggested it and it is still in print there. A rare time we still have an omnibus after the US :).
Thanks for your list!! By the way, Batman New 52 is my favorite omnibus
So glad you are enjoying it.
@@NearMintCondition love from Vietnam!!!
Bromar!!! Im early AF!
You are!! :)
I’m from Norway I wish we had this🐷😕
I’m not a big omni fan because my hands literally can’t hold them, but I’ve added so many to my library/hoopla list when the libraries open again. Snyder/Capullo’s Court of Owls in TPB were some of my first DC comics, so if the rest of their run is that good, I can’t even wait.
My brother has problem reading them as well since he has damaged hands. What I do is scan them with a czur book scanner unto my computer and he's able to read them off his my tv.
ShastaHawk Thats super smart. I got the DC app promo a while back for like a buck a month trial and I just used all my free time to mindlessly take screenshots on my phone to make PDFs. I probably got about a hundred and fifty and I just based the order off the omnibus contents I could find. So that’s always a strategy. The TV thing is so smart though I have to use a tablet on digital comics otherwise my eyes die
I can always go through some stories that are collected in TPB.
hey omar, can you do a top 10 comics runs/stories for the gotham knights game? i'm caught up on batman, but i guess more for the batfamily.
You want my favorite Batman runs?
@@NearMintCondition I'm thinking more of the Batfamily runs. With DC's announcement of the Gotham Knights game (focusing on Dick, Jason, Babs and Tim) and the Suicide Squad games, I think it might be cool topic to go into what comics readers should check out before playing the games that come out next year.
In regards to ivan reis, he is from brazil, so with words that begin with the letter "r" you pronounce it as a "h", as in "heis".
If i translate his name correctly it appears his surname means "kings"
Thank you.
As a Marvel guy,i got a lot out of this vid!great choices(great choices on the Marvel one too)
Already got Aquaman and Batman by Snyder some time ago based on some of yr earlier vids ))))
Enjoyed them soooo much
Is Gotham Central not there bc its oop?? ))
Gotham central is god tier
I just wish it was still in print.
In my opinion, if the new reader is completely new to DC and isnt even that much into Superman, Batman or Wonderwoman, I would recommend them to read the 52 omnibus. It tackles personal stories from so many different perspectives. It will keep anyone interested with great character development.
Which is the best recent Batman run: Scott Snyder, Tom King, Peter Tomasi’s Batman and Robin, James Tynion’s Detective Comics, or my favourite Grant Morrison’s Batman run? I never hear this conversation include all the best series, and they’re all really good. Let’s hear some thoughts.
dude, can I buy Batman Grant Morrison omnibus vol 3 and know what's happening? it's just the incorporated plot that im interested in reading.
I didn't know there were He-Man comics, much less an omnibus haha. I loved the 1983 series, big part of my childhood.
The new series was great.
@@NearMintCondition I have to check it out then.
Slightly unrelated, but I just ordered the Green Arrow omnibus by Mike Grell. I had no idea that book was going to be 1,500+ pages!
@dwyane carter Same! I was hoping that this would be split into 3 or 4 smaller omnis. I think my Green Arrow TPBs and I might have a future after all.
It's available already? I thought it wasnt supposed to be out until next month.
@@ShastaHawk it is currently available at cheap graphic novels. If you wait a few weeks, it will be available at instocktrades.
Interesting list. I’ve not read anything from DC in the last 20 years. Would you still recommend JSA for someone like me as the top pick? I hear you like Geoff Johns 😜
I need to get the Amanda Conner Harley Quinn book for sure. I’ve loved her stuff from back when she was doing Soulsearchers with Peter David a million years ago. She was great to talk to at conventions back then too.
I like Geoff Johns a little. :) You know, I think JSA would be up your alley. oh man, Soul Searchers. I haven't thought of that book in years.
I’ve noticed this for a little while, but does anyone know why almost all of Geoff johns omnibus, the art starts out a bit old, but after a issue or two it gets more crisp and good looking and then stays like that for the rest of the book?
Maybe they rush out a few issues to see how sales/ reception goes before putting more time Into the art? But I never noticed that myself with anything I read from him yet
Have you made a top 10 DC and Marvel of all time? Whether its oop or not? Thanks!
I haven't, but I should.
Batman by snyder s fantastic. Considering getting the paperback green lantern geoff johns. Good suggestion for jsa i may end up getting it.
It's worth a look.
Oh dear. I have 8 of those but read only 2. need to do something about my backlog...
We all do.
Batman run: Who is better Tom King or Scott Snyder?
Ans: Grant Morrison
Alan Grant then Dennis O’Neil followed by Chuck Dixon for me. :)
Scott Snyder is the worst
Everyone is better than Tom Kings run. Maybe the art is the best but stories are the worst.
@@fishin4bass2002 i love Snyder's stuff
@@NearMintCondition i love them on batman especially in the 80/90s
