I just got into Ms Tree last year myself. It's so great! I started with vol 3 A Cold Dish because it had the earliest Ms Tree stories. Hard Case published it out of order because they felt the later stories in vol 1 One Mean Mother were better drawn as Beatty had improved quite a bit making the stories strongest, but it seems odd to me they did it that way because much of her origin is in A Cold Dish. I've since gotten volume one and actually just ordered vol 2 when your video reminded me of how I wanted to read more Ms Tree. I plan on getting vol 4 and 5. Ms Tree has a pretty interesting publishing history too being published first by Eclipse Comics then Aadvark-Vanaheim/Renegade Press and even DC comics with Ms Tree Quarterly. So glad Hard Case is collecting these but I hope they do bigger versions at some point.

Excellent review!

LOL!!!! A year and a half ago. Better late than never, right?

My Absolute Batman Year One (the second book with the original colors) completely fell apart on the first read

Keanu carried me around the set of Point Break. So I know crime and these crime comics are the bee's knees. It would be a crime NOT to read them.

This is awesome

Great video Jess. Dark Knight Returns is also a big game changer for me also it took comics to a different level I also have the same addition that you have with that great cover of FM Batman standing arms crossed with an arched window in the background. Unfortunately in the Absolute Dark Knight Returns it doesn’t have the same art reprinted anywhere in its extras section also the main original covers were reprinted on one page when they should have done a page for each. Add to that they stuffed it with The Dark Knight Strikes Back unfortunately 😅. I prefer the addition we’ve both got which reprinted Batman Year One , a short Christmas story and then the main Dark Knight Returns. I returned my Absolute Dark Knight as it had damage issues and didn’t buy it back because it was disappointing however I will get Dark Knight Master Race Absolute

Green Arrow/Green Lantern fans, does the upcoming omnibus capture all the GA/GL material Omnidog discussed in this video? Thanks for the help!

Great comics, greater stories! Loved this vid, Jess!

Really enjoyed this video Jess, it was wonderful to hear your journey into comics

I really enjoyed this one Jess... I took your advice a while back and picked up Harleen and Joker/Harley. Harleen was an awesome read. I haven't got to J/H yet, but your recommendations have been solid imho. Hope you're well and looking forward to more upcoming videos. I just ordered The Complete Frank Miller Batman from EBay tonight...😂 I've been eyeing it for a while now, and took your video as a sign to go ahead and pull the trigger 😊

Great video from the collected editions fav Hispanic el gran omni perro, showing what the love of comics is all about. You love to see it and read it!

I loved this video. It was so wholesome.

This was such an enjoyable video to watch, my friend! Your genuine passion and enthusiasm for this medium is so infectious! I really appreciate how you are always so heartfelt, and also remind us all that reading comics is supposed to be fun! Thank you for sharing that joy and love with all of us, comics are way more fun with Omnidog around!!

DC: THE NEW FRONTIER 😀

This was so wholesome! I loved hearing about your most important comics and why they mean so much. 💙

Loved your list Jess! Especially loved the story about how you got your Bruce Timm book from Mike and lifting others up. Beautiful. This got me thinking about the 5 most important comics to me so I'll list them to anyone who cares to read them. Nothing life changing here but these were the books that really kept me hooked me on comics. 5. Thor 337 - Simonson's first issue of his epic run, the first comic that left me truly shocked & speechless! 4. Punisher 1 - by Ennis, the start of Welcome Back Frank, shows what a back to basics approach can do, ignored the bad runs that preceded it and just told the best Frank story he could! 3. Hulk 347 - Start of Joe Fixit storyline, before this it was always shown how Hulk ruined Banner's life, now shown how much better Hulk's life would be without Banner! 2. Amazing Spider-man 229 & 230 - Nothing Can Stop the Juggernaut! - My favorite comic story ever, my intro to Juggernaut and to me, is the quintessential Spidey story, showing fortitude & bravery against insurmountable odds! 1. Captain America 210 - The first comic that I can remember getting. Colorful story, science fiction at it's ludicrous best, and leaving me in suspense for what would happen next. Without this comic, I'd have so much more money in my pocket! :)

My favourite comic is Batman by Adams omnibus because as I was reading it I was wondering how this was considered so great when it looked so wonky. Went on KZbin and found some funny fellas videos and that changed my life for the better.

Lovely story about Mike. What a great person.

1. Daredevil by Waid. Got me through a tough time in my life when I was depressed. Seeing how Matt was trying to get his life back together was hugely inspiring. 2.All Star Superman. Beautiful, touching, action packed just a ride of emotions. One of the only absolutes I own. 3. Batman the black mirror. What bought me back to comics. 4. The killing joke. One of the best Batman stories ever told and my first ever comic book.

Thank you for sharing these stories Jess.

I loved hearing all the stories you had to say about these books. When I got hold of Green lantern - Green Arrow 76 I knew this will stay with me for as long as I read comics. Great video!

As the one who challenged Jake to this in the first place, I feel like your challenge Grandpa. Your challenge Pop Pop is so happy to see you finally make this video and share those beautiful memories with everyone. Let us all try to lift others up in all we do.

Loved the video dude! I have heard some of these stories from you before but each time you tell them in such a meaningful way I can’t help but get inspired by them again. You have definitely helped lift me up so thank you for all that you do! ❤

Great video. I expected Waid's Irredeemable to be on the list, but you focused on the personal side, not entertainment of comics.

Great video. I loved your story of Mike, PMA all day!

So great to see Batman Odyssey on this list!!

Wow, this was such an important video. Those stories you shared were really touching and inspiring. Thank you for all you do, Jess. We really appreciate you.

My top five: Asterix (Goscinny/Uderzo), Prince Valiant (Hal Foster), The black order brigade (Christin/Bilal), Watchmen and of course The Sandman.

Great topic. I loved hearing those stories.

Loved this video! I accept the challenge! I’ll try to get mine done in the next week or so!

YEP! Thats why we watch you Omnidog to share our fun for comics!

Wow! This was such a great video, I feel like if there is one video that encapsulates OmniDog, it's this.

My Usagi 1 from you and Mike Noah is still one of my most prized possessions.

You're awesome Jess!

Jess, you knocked it outta the park with this video. We need more of these types of videos. Truly enjoyable

Also recommend "Summit of the Gods", if you haven't checked it out. Awesome series, also about climbing. Also gripping and sounds like a but more of a philosophical examination of why people climb. Framed as an investigation (soft crime maybe?). Incredible.

Read All-Star Squadron, not New Golden Age.

I picked this book up for myself since I'm a huge Swampy fan - noticed pretty soon that the first bundle or so of pages seems to be either incorrectly glued or misassembled, I thought it might have just been something I did when stretching out the book but (thankfully?) I see your copy has the same issue around page 30 where Swampy is talking to Constantine. Not sure to be happy or sad about it being more widespread but the rest of the book seems to be holding together fine so far

I didn't have an issue with the original video. Plus you are allowed to sneak in an extra book if the series is a short run(3 vol. or less).

Amazing video! I didn't catch the original, with the glitch. I figured you would re-upload, so I waited. Great review on each book!

I watched the old upload glitch and all AND this one. I’m a true OmniFan! ✊🏻⚡️✊🏻

9:40 just doing a check in 2024 (5 years later) here and nope, no hover boards yet. Sorry @OmnidogsVault. 😆

Something awfully familiar about this video ...

Kaitlyn Dever for Kitty Pryde.

I really like Curt Pires also. Memoria was good and I've reordered their new book 'Money'

Michaelangelo did both the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel and the David statue.
