Horror is always welcome. Always. ALWAYS. There's never enough horror, and that horror is never dark enough. Just straight up monsters murdering people, and people murdering monsters. Gore, death, tragedy. Need more.
Keep the hidden gems coming, one of my favorite series on the channel! As for horror, I’d even be interested in a top 5 or 10 instead of hidden gems. Just because I’m not too familiar with the genre at all.
Good list...I liked Pestilence as a series, the art and concept were great, but the writing could've been stronger. I had no idea about Animosity, I'm gonna have to check that out. Thanks for the recommendation
Wow I like your new video style for these types of video! Very Classy and love the slow down of the portion of the pages flipping so you can relax and just enjoy the art while you riff.

I had only heard of 2 of these books so I really do appreciate these hidden gem vids. So of course I’d love more! Thanks for doing these, Omar! P.S. To anyone watching who isn’t subscribed, NMC only needs 100 more subs for 30k and there will be an awesome giveaway! :)
Nice collection of horror themed books! One I recommend is the serie 68 by Image Comics -> great story with decent art and in my opinion it is totally a hidden gem because almost nobody talks about it. Great work Omar and stay save and healthy!
I love love love the art in Pestilence, it’s fantastic. Unfortunately, IMO, not Frank Tieri’s best writing work. Characterization got really cliche approaching the end.
I read animosity when I just became a vegetarian and it resonated so well with everything I was thinking about. It was an emotional but very deep book and I can't recommend it enough
Yes please keep going with the hidden gems! I need to add to my wish list! Also is anyone else noticing that many of the newer books are sold out within the same week? I have about 20 books I can't get because they are now greyed out to buy.
My personal favorite horror comic is Revival, by Tim Seeley and Mike Norton. It’s a really solid supernatural mystery, with a sort of Coen Brothers-meets-Twin Peaks tone. It’s great, is my point.
Some people are all about freedom of their opinion, but when it comes to opinions of other people than themselves.... well, that is a problem :D I love discussion, as you said. It is what drives the world. Great recommendations, Omar!!!
Oh man, I've never heard of The Unknown. Since it's from Boom I hoped it would be on ComiXology Unlimited so I can read it soon, it is, and I'll be starting it this week.
Thanks for another hidden gems, and for the content warnings. I read comics to escape bad stuff reflected in real life. I'd definitely be interested in you continuing this series, maybe rotating through a selection of themes and genres. Have you done a video on Marvel/DC horror recommendations? You probably have at some point, but I can't find it, and searching online usually only comes up with really expensive editions of Tomb of Dracula etc 🤔 Anyway, keep up the good work, and hello from England!
Animosity sounds really cool. I wouldn’t like that the hardcovers are different sizes... any word on Year One to match Year Two? Thanks for your cool videos!
@@NearMintCondition Hey Omar, I just saw there is a solicit for the Animosity Omnibus HC coming out in November! I thought you would be happy about that haha
I'm not sure if it's considered a hidden gem but I don't think Alan Moores From Hell series is talked about enough. It's damn right disturbing at times and explores many themes.
Not sure if youve covered it before but in a similar vein i'd like to recommend Namor; The Depths by Peter Milligan & Esad Ribic. Its a miniseries unlike your average marvel book, its very much more a horror book with heaps of thalassophobia. well worth a read and i dont see a lot of people talk about it!
not a big fan of horror but I have read some of these hidden gems. One book I will start to read is The Unknown by Mark Waid. And I can read it on ComiXology. My kind of mystery stories. Ideas for future episodes interview Mark Waid and some hidden Scifi or children's stories. Saludos a la familia
Hi Omar, I was think about picking up 'A Walk Through Hell: The Complete Series by Garth Ennis' hardcover, is it a good horror/thriller as everyone praise it to be?!
Hey I'm relatively new to comics been reading manga my whole life and I know this is a hidden gems but I don't even know that the must read horror books are is there any plans for a video covering any collected editions of classic must read horror books?
Offtopic: i know you get these kind of questions a lot but do you have idea why abs. carnage omni is already out of stock? Are the print ammounts so small or is the so much new readers that you cant have these even if you have pre ordered like 5 months before? I live in europe.
Wow. These five really flopped for me. I read the first trade of Animosity and didn’t like it. Redlands was pretty good, what I read of it but the singles came out in such a haphazard way that I just stopped reading. Dark Ark and Pestilence I hated. The Unknown was okay but just okay, I felt there was so much more possibility there and it just didn’t deliver.
Horror is always welcome.
Always.
ALWAYS.
There's never enough horror, and that horror is never dark enough.

Was that a Koala with a revolver in the first book!?! Colour me interested.
Hahahaha

Color me intrigued on Pestilence, Dark Ark, and The Unknown. Thanks for telling us about these books Omar
Hungry Ghosts is a great HC horror comic. It is written by the late Anthony Bordain.
I'll have to check that out.
“An then when I saw Cullens buns attached to it, Hell’s Yessss” lol his butt being attached to it is way cooler than a signature. Haha jkjk
Ha’
Once again, I'll be picking up a few of these (Unknown, Redlands, Pestilance)-cheers for the rec's, dude!
Thank you.
Hell yeah keep bringing the horror two thumbs up
You got it!
Yes definitely continue this segment!!!!
You got it!
"you might hate some of these"
You made me laugh out loud XD
Good list...I liked Pestilence as a series, the art and concept were great, but the writing could've been stronger. I had no idea about Animosity, I'm gonna have to check that out. Thanks for the recommendation
I can see that about Pestilence. I hope you enjoy Animosity.
Nice very on point Redlands goes in
The Unknown and Pestilence have most definitely sparked my interest.
Absolutely keep up this video series!
Thanks, and will do, my brother!
I going to read animosity sounds awesome and sounds like it has a y the last man vibe
@@joncarr6490 though I've heard many good things about both stories neither really rings my chimes
More hidden gems! You’re fantastic man and I agree- the willingness to discuss differences of opinion is key to moving forward.
Wow I like your new video style for these types of video! Very Classy and love the slow down of the portion of the pages flipping so you can relax and just enjoy the art while you riff.
Thank you very much! It's a little more work, but I think feedback has been super positive.

You are nearly on 30,000 subscribers Omar. 😀 well deserved.👍
I honestly love seeing different peoples “hidden gems” I’d love to see it go on.
I just bought both hardcover of Animosity from your video! I love the premise thank you for recommending it!
Hope you enjoy it!
Damn I need some evil dead comics
You saw Cullen's bun?!!!! 😂
Big fan of horror comics and horror manga and I've actually never heard of any of these. Adding all of them to my tbr right now (:
Dark Ark and The Unknown got me interested thanks Omar
Thank you.
been considering Animosity for while. might have to add it to my next order.
Thank you so much for all for your amazing videos. This is so enriching for me to find out and read all of these awesome suggestions!
You are so welcome and thank you so much for the kind words.
Good Night
Cool vid, I would like to see a hidden gem manga edition. Btw your video thumbnail is the same expression I had when I seen the bat wang 😆

Loving these hidden gems videos, thanks !
In case you didn't watch the live show last week, thank you soooo much for the giveaways!
@@astonishingmelanie I did watch it after the streaming was over, it was fun. Thanks !
More to come! Promise, my brother.
Thanks Omar, really enjoying this series. We have one more week in October so why not make it a trilogy! :)
Hell yes sir great content. That animosity is dope I dont know why no one heard of it.
Oh, and have you seen the Cullen Bunn Aftershock HC coming out? Collects Dark Ark, Unholy Grail, Brothers Dracul etc Looks good!
Nooo, but I'm in!
More hidden gems!!! I love these
Nice collection of horror themed books! One I recommend is the serie 68 by Image Comics -> great story with decent art and in my opinion it is totally a hidden gem because almost nobody talks about it. Great work Omar and stay save and healthy!
Please continue with this kind of videos. I've discovered some really awesome comics thanks to them ;)
I don't fancy any of these but love these videos. Would love to see more until I find at least one I'd like to read.
I love love love the art in Pestilence, it’s fantastic. Unfortunately, IMO, not Frank Tieri’s best writing work. Characterization got really cliche approaching the end.
I read animosity when I just became a vegetarian and it resonated so well with everything I was thinking about. It was an emotional but very deep book and I can't recommend it enough
Oh and I LOVE these hidden gem videos. I often buy one or two of them. I dont care what genre!
That is a great story about your connection with that book.
Definitely enjoy these videos. Hidden gems in every genre please!
Yes please keep going with the hidden gems! I need to add to my wish list! Also is anyone else noticing that many of the newer books are sold out within the same week? I have about 20 books I can't get because they are now greyed out to buy.
I'm trying to see about getting those back in stock.
My personal favorite horror comic is Revival, by Tim Seeley and Mike Norton. It’s a really solid supernatural mystery, with a sort of Coen Brothers-meets-Twin Peaks tone.
It’s great, is my point.
Redlands is on my bookshelf waiting to be read! Hopefully soon lol
It's a quick read.
Alright!! Here we go!! How about a favorite dynamite comics list?
This look like good Horror books.
Some people are all about freedom of their opinion, but when it comes to opinions of other people than themselves.... well, that is a problem :D I love discussion, as you said. It is what drives the world. Great recommendations, Omar!!!
Hahaha

Thank you so much. Yeah, I'm waiting for a reprint of year one to match year two.
@@NearMintCondition Hey Omar, I just saw there is a solicit for the Animosity Omnibus HC coming out in November! I thought you would be happy about that haha
@@mattd2648 WELL YOU MADE MY DAY!
@@NearMintCondition haha glad I could help. Thanks for all that you do for the community
I'm not sure if it's considered a hidden gem but I don't think Alan Moores From Hell series is talked about enough. It's damn right disturbing at times and explores many themes.
I wanna find all the errie archives. Got all 15 of vampies but I just got lucky buying all those at once.
Omar you have to stop making these videos. Selling plasma just doesn’t go as far as it used to. Great stuff as always.
Can you make a video Top 10 Non-hero comics
He's already done a top 20
Not sure if youve covered it before but in a similar vein i'd like to recommend Namor; The Depths by Peter Milligan & Esad Ribic. Its a miniseries unlike your average marvel book, its very much more a horror book with heaps of thalassophobia. well worth a read and i dont see a lot of people talk about it!
Favorite art books video please!
Great suggestion.
Thank you for the recommendations! What about a list of most polarizing books. Love it or hate it stories/art.
Love this idea, even though its all subjective. I may work on this list. Thank you.
Hey Omar, pretty sure Animosity is available in Hardcover format (Year 1, Year 2, Year 3). Not sure if Oversized though.
Hey Omar did you like the Loki journey into mystery by Gillen?
Really good recommendations! Any recent or top 10?
I do hidden gems every month. But maybe it’s time I update those top 10 lists.
not a big fan of horror but I have read some of these hidden gems. One book I will start to read is The Unknown by Mark Waid. And I can read it on ComiXology. My kind of mystery stories. Ideas for future episodes interview Mark Waid and some hidden Scifi or children's stories. Saludos a la familia
Thank you so much and I'd love to interview Mark Waid.
Hi Omar, I was think about picking up 'A Walk Through Hell: The Complete Series by Garth Ennis' hardcover, is it a good horror/thriller as everyone praise it to be?!
Instocktrades is another great place to order graphic novels that are packaged well....in addition they have great prices.
Oh yeah, but they aren't our sponsor. :)
Could you please keep up with hidden gems going
No animals were harmed in the making of this graphic novel....their drawings and not real.
LOL I should add that.
Do one more horror before October is over.
LOL lets not limit ourselves to October. :)
More
8:55 Cullen's Bunn? You reminded me of the Key & Peele movie guys do more of those haha th-cam.com/video/UnUq2AQww8U/w-d-xo.html
Keep ‘me comin’!!!
Vanessa ‘Del Rio’ did art for Redlands?!?
Its Del Rey. Del Rio is an adult film actress. lol
Shhhhhhh I corrected myself later.
Was Redlands complete? I read the floppies and seem to recall there still being plot threads left to conclude. Unless they finished it in trade form?
It's on hiatus I think.
Yeahhh Hidden Gems!
Redlands is in hiatus, it´s half way through! But there should be more coming someday
Patreon is on sale for one dollar per month!
Actually that’s the set price - jump on board.
We need to have a “Hidden Gems addiction Anonymous” meeting
An Intervention if you will.
Absolute Swamp Thing by Alan Moore Vol 2???
That overview will come out tomorrow.
@@NearMintCondition Thank you very much.
Hey I'm relatively new to comics been reading manga my whole life and I know this is a hidden gems but I don't even know that the must read horror books are is there any plans for a video covering any collected editions of classic must read horror books?
Last year I did a video on my favorite horror comics. If you want to check that out.
Oh and by the way, no comic book is too violent or too gore for us who have read Berserk and things like that :D
This man!!! Gets it!
Have you checked out EIBON Press Horror Series ?
I think they have done a great Job
what about dark tower comics
Those are solid. But not among my top 10.
Offtopic: i know you get these kind of questions a lot but do you have idea why abs. carnage omni is already out of stock? Are the print ammounts so small or is the so much new readers that you cant have these even if you have pre ordered like 5 months before? I live in europe.
Oh man, I can't stand animal suffering but Animosity just looks too good to pass up on...
Top Five Noir/ Crime Mystery Collected Editions Hidden Gems?
If Redlands had focused 30% more on the story and 30% less on the pornography aspect, it would have been perfect.
Ha. Those scenes were... interesting.
Wow. These five really flopped for me. I read the first trade of Animosity and didn’t like it. Redlands was pretty good, what I read of it but the singles came out in such a haphazard way that I just stopped reading. Dark Ark and Pestilence I hated. The Unknown was okay but just okay, I felt there was so much more possibility there and it just didn’t deliver.
Out of those I’d say Dark ark is my favorite . The third arc of animosity fell flat. What books do you like?
What a "horrible" video this is!
Please just stop making videos in general. You are making me spend too much money! Seriously, I really enjoy these Hidden gem videos!
I feel conflicted.
