I rewatched this again, because I love seeing the X-Men omnibuses! I know that I am missing some, and YES some of those are available at discounted online sellers. Tempting, as I know that I have to save up for Christmas. We will see,,,, I should treat myself. Thanks, as I really appreciate this video!!!
@@drocksteadyreviews fek.. better win lotto then haha. I just have the x-men animated omnibus.. blows they dont have s4 and 5.. beyond good and evil with apocalypse, Phalanx, one mans worth, sanctuary, old soldiers, etc
Where were some of the other like Fatal Attractions, Phalanx Covenant, wedding of Cyclops and Phoenix, Shattershot, Eve of Destruction, etc? Are those all considered OHC as opposed to Omnibus?
Great video. I had to pause a third in because I am just reading issue 153 from an Epic Collection... is there an Omni that delves into the stories in between 66 and GSX1? The Epic line has a book that does this so well, covering the Beast turning blue, Wolverine's first appearance in Hulk, etc. Not required reading, but it really bridges the book from cancelation to rebirth and would be awesome if an Omni collected it.
@@drocksteadyreviews thanks, you've got a new subscriber here. I am thinking really hard about shifting from Epics to Omnis for a luxury reading experience.
MAn, I want to read the whole saga but don't hae the space for them all. Even just the claremont era is like 13 omni's. Never had heard of the Grand Design Omni. Thinking about starting there and then getting the omnis between there and AoA. Think that'd be a solid read and collection?
Yeah Grand Design is a solid read! The thing with X-Men is if ya have the basic knowledge even from the animated series you can kinda pick it up at any point and be good.
Nah I’m sure youtube has an algorithm for adds tho. I’ll start having election bs soon I’m sure. That’s cool they ran X-Men 97’ tho. That shows been really good so far.
Hiya Drock, If this is my purchase and reading order, what do you think? Do you think I can skip some non major or add on any I shouldn’t miss? Astonishing X-Men Omnibus Uncanny X men Omnibus vol.1 Uncanny X men Omnibus vol.2 X-Men: Age Of Apocalypse Omnibus Uncanny X men Omnibus vol.3 Uncanny X men Omnibus vol.4 X-men: The fall of the Mutants Omnibus X-Men by Chris Claremont & Jim Lee Omnibus Vol.1 X-Men by Chris Claremont & Jim Lee Omnibus Vol.2 Uncanny X men Omnibus vol.5 X-Men Mutant massacre Omnibus Avenger vs X-men Omnibus
@@drocksteadyreviews Thanks for your quick reply. Anyone I should skip to minimise my reading time? Also is the order ok? As I am worry about boring if I follow the actual order that you mentioned in your Video~
@drocksteadyreviews I saw your reading order, my question is what do you think about switching around, like go for AOA after UXM 1 & 2, or Mutant massacre after 3 & 4 (as I am worrying about boring for the same storyline, haha) Do you see any conflict about it? Or I will miss something if I am not following the order you provide?
@@MentalMa3ter Ohh gotcha! To be completely honest if you have basic knowledge of X-Men it doesn’t matter if you jump around. That’s with anything for the most part when it comes to Marvel or DC superhero titles. I wouldn’t with an indie title. Like picking up SIKTC now wouldn’t be ideal.
@@drocksteadyreviewsseems like phoenix omnibus is duplicated. Any of these that you can avoid or get all 30? Also, any place to get them to maybe get a bulk discount?
Big stacks dawgy. You can catch me at Claremont Vol 1 moving forward but to be honest Vol 1 kinda hard to get through lol 91 relaunch is where it’s at.
Which omnibus collects "Schism"? I didn't see it mentioned. I just finished Uncanny X-Men Omnibus Vol 2 and have been reading chronologically but I don't know when Schism should be read.
Uncanny x-men picks up after volume 4… Vol 5 ends with #209 and then picks up with #210 in Mutant Massacre. New Mutants i honestly forget I think it’s before UXM vol4
While I appreciate the effort, if you're talking "chronologically" in terms of continuity, the X-Men: The Hidden years Omnibus should have been placed between X-Men Vol.2 and Uncanny X-Men Vol.1
wolverine and the x-men omni before house of M in the reading order doesnt make sense to me like you would be confused why wolverine is the head of the school now and where xaviers gone, house of M was 2004, Wolverine and the X-men was 2011 and ties in to Avengers Vs X-men not house of M. really odd reading order there. and x-treme x-men and new x-men were being released back to back, and issue of xtreme would come out then an issue of new x-men, so you could read either first. xtreme x-men #1 was released in july 2001 so was new x-men #1, and both ended in june 2004.
No small undertaking right here bro. Just finished watching. Definitely some Omni’s here that I’ve wanted and want more now. You also just motivated me to jump back into Onslaught as I haven’t read any of it this week. Great fuckin video dude 🔥
Thanks man! Dude you got me wanting to jump in again as well! That and AOA as I flipped through I was like damn, I gotta make time for these… Appreciate ya watching bud! You kept me motivated on this insane video 🙏🏻

Always good to treat yourself! Especially at a good price 😁
Which discounted online sellers have the best deals?
Amazing video!! My favorite x-men omni has always been Age of Apocalypse and the Jim Lee vol 2.
Jim Lee Vol 2 is a Banger! 🔥
This video is a triumph, great stuff buddy 💪👏👏👏
Thank you bud Appreciate that! 🙏🏻
100% agree on that man.
Great video and epic breakdown. I need to get that Classic X-men one for sure. I agree with your assessments and comments. Great work!
Thank you for watching! 🙏🏻
Wonder what is a price tag if I wanted to buy all 30 lol
@xUSAFWolfman eesh like $3500 maybe 😩
@@drocksteadyreviews fek.. better win lotto then haha. I just have the x-men animated omnibus.. blows they dont have s4 and 5.. beyond good and evil with apocalypse, Phalanx, one mans worth, sanctuary, old soldiers, etc
Thank youuuuu! I need this especially for the krakoa era.
Where were some of the other like Fatal Attractions, Phalanx Covenant, wedding of Cyclops and Phoenix, Shattershot, Eve of Destruction, etc? Are those all considered OHC as opposed to Omnibus?
Yeah they are all OHC’s
I mean let’s be honest, wedding and fatal attractions are omnibus’. No idea why they weren’t named those.
Got my like and sub.can you please do these for the other X-titles? Maybe a video for Xforce, xfactor, marauder etc...
Yeah I’ll get around to those at some point as well! Thanks for the sub! 🙏🏻

Nah unfortunately not. That would be a cool Omni tho! Not just for X-Men but other characters like Spider-Man etc 👍🏻

Really, really helpful. Thank you!
No problem thanks for watching! 😊
First time watching this channel… and really enjoy it, pretty good content 👍
Thanks! Appreciate ya checking it out 😁
Exactly the info I was looking for. Thanks.
Glad I could help thanks for watching 😁
Are the x force, x factor, and new mutants stories included in these, or they separate omnibuses.
Several of these Omnis contain issues from those titles. If you want to dive deeper into those titles they also have Omnibus.
Thanks for doing this. It helped me figure out what I have and in what order I should read the collection in.
No problem thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Books jumping out of the thumbnail 🙌
Nice video!
Next time you update, include X-Men: Eve of Destruction. ;)
Hopefully by then it’s printed in omnibus format 😁
I honestly thought it was an omni. 😅
@@annex18 I mean it basically is an Omni, just doesn’t have the logo on the spine 🤷🏼♂️
Is there overlap on the Dark Pheonix saga omnibus and Uncanny X-men omnibus Vol 2? If so, why did they release the same material?
Ohh yeah definitely. It’s just for those who want the Phoenix material.
@stevenzaharakis Why shouldn't they? Some people may want to read just the Phoenix stuff.
There's also an Uncanny X-Men Vol. 5 dropping this month as well.
Yeah looking forward to that release, it’s about time we got another 👏🏻
Great video. Thank you so much for the effort put into this. Just gone and got Apocalypse The Twelve to fill that gap. Hope it’s worth it.
Thanks for taking a look! The Twelve is a little goofy but a fun read imo 👌🏻
Great video! Now to hunt for some of these omnibus. I have a hard time finding inferno, AoA and the Claremont/jim lee vol. 1 and 2 🫤
Check Facebook groups 😁
MAn, I want to read the whole saga but don't hae the space for them all. Even just the claremont era is like 13 omni's. Never had heard of the Grand Design Omni. Thinking about starting there and then getting the omnis between there and AoA. Think that'd be a solid read and collection?
Yeah Grand Design is a solid read! The thing with X-Men is if ya have the basic knowledge even from the animated series you can kinda pick it up at any point and be good.
What's up with The New Mutants Omnis? X-Factor by Peter David? Weapon X The Return Omni? Uncanny X-Force by Rick Remender?
Do you have any influence on the adds? I just saw an X-Men cartoon add before this.
Nah I’m sure youtube has an algorithm for adds tho. I’ll start having election bs soon I’m sure. That’s cool they ran X-Men 97’ tho. That shows been really good so far.
Hiya Drock,
If this is my purchase and reading order, what do you think?
Do you think I can skip some non major or add on any I shouldn’t miss?
Astonishing X-Men Omnibus
Uncanny X men Omnibus vol.1
Uncanny X men Omnibus vol.2
X-Men: Age Of Apocalypse Omnibus
Uncanny X men Omnibus vol.3
Uncanny X men Omnibus vol.4
X-men: The fall of the Mutants Omnibus
X-Men by Chris Claremont & Jim Lee Omnibus Vol.1
X-Men by Chris Claremont & Jim Lee Omnibus Vol.2
Uncanny X men Omnibus vol.5
X-Men Mutant massacre Omnibus
Avenger vs X-men Omnibus
That’s a pretty solid list! New X-Men and Ultimate is definitely worth getting as well 👌🏻
@@drocksteadyreviews Thanks for your quick reply.
Anyone I should skip to minimise my reading time?
Also is the order ok? As I am worry about boring if I follow the actual order that you mentioned in your Video~
@@MentalMa3ter the order is in the description if you need to check. Ugh fall of mutants is a pass everything else is pretty solid.

I love you and thank you so much for dis!!!
Thanks 😁
Great video!
Thank you! Ton of work went into this one 🥴
How much do you actually miss if you were to read Xmen purely through the Omnibus and nothing else?
Quite a bit tbh. All the major stuff is collected in Omnibus format tho.
@@drocksteadyreviewsseems like phoenix omnibus is duplicated. Any of these that you can avoid or get all 30? Also, any place to get them to maybe get a bulk discount?
@@xUSAFWolfman yeah the 2 Phoenix Omnis are the same. Sometimes u can find a good deal on multiple books in Facebook groups.
Does it make sense to read Age of Apocalypse omni before Uncanny X-men omnis?
If you have basic knowledge of the X-Men it shouldn’t really matter tbh but ideally yeah you should start from Uncanny.
where do the spin offs fit in?
Can I read age of apocalypse solo or do I need to read the others b4
Yeah with basic X knowledge u can totally read AoA alone 👍🏻
Does anyone know if the Amazing Adventure comics (#11-17), starring Beast, have been collected in an Omnibus?
No I don’t believe so unfortunately
Lol glad we agree on that first X-Men vol hhaha
That’s a rough book lmao vol 2 maybe worse tbh 😂
@@drocksteadyreviews 🤣
Big stacks dawgy. You can catch me at Claremont Vol 1 moving forward but to be honest Vol 1 kinda hard to get through lol 91 relaunch is where it’s at.
The big story arcs are great from the early stuff. But yeah I agree that 90s stuff is top notch.
X-Men/Avengers Onslaught is not by Chris Claremont.
All the X-Men on deck! Only modern X-Men for me doe!
Big Stackssss of X! I’m digging the modern stuff. Astonishing one of my favorites.
@@drocksteadyreviews astonishing and new X-men gotta be my 2 favs
Which omnibus collects "Schism"? I didn't see it mentioned. I just finished Uncanny X-Men Omnibus Vol 2 and have been reading chronologically but I don't know when Schism should be read.
If I’m not mistaken it’s before avengers vs X-men
@@drocksteadyreviews thx! Much love from Finland
You are a hero. That`s it.
Thank you 😁
Really well I eventually get everything from 91 to about 2013.
That’s most of my favorite stuff Bro
Where’s the AoA companion? Did I miss that in the video
It’s just right after AOA 👍🏻
Where does Uncanny X-men Omni 5 fall into this list, as it is out but not listed. Also, New mutants?
Uncanny x-men picks up after volume 4… Vol 5 ends with #209 and then picks up with #210 in Mutant Massacre. New Mutants i honestly forget I think it’s before UXM vol4
Can you do a video like this for the amazing Spider-Man
I could but I don’t physically own all of the Spider-Man Omnis. It wouldn’t be as good 🤷🏼♂️
Uncanny vol 2 is IMPOSSIBLE to find 😫
Yeahh that’s always a hard one to get ahold of unfortunately. Probably get a reprint soon tho.
It’s on Amazon for 399.99 😂
Pre order cheap graphic novels.. I did and I like the upcoming art better feels more classic. Think releases few months.. def not 400 lol
While I appreciate the effort, if you're talking "chronologically" in terms of continuity, the X-Men: The Hidden years Omnibus should have been placed between X-Men Vol.2 and Uncanny X-Men Vol.1
It wasn’t out at the time of this video 😁
wolverine and the x-men omni before house of M in the reading order doesnt make sense to me like you would be confused why wolverine is the head of the school now and where xaviers gone, house of M was 2004, Wolverine and the X-men was 2011 and ties in to Avengers Vs X-men not house of M. really odd reading order there. and x-treme x-men and new x-men were being released back to back, and issue of xtreme would come out then an issue of new x-men, so you could read either first. xtreme x-men #1 was released in july 2001 so was new x-men #1, and both ended in june 2004.
