Aragones and Evanier still produce the occasional Groo mini-series for Dark Horse. They're a lot of fun!

Great overview. Jim Balent’s run on Catwoman is a must read. The Fantastic Four by Ryan North is ... well ... fantastic. Greetings, Belgian Ellen.

Catwoman 🐈‍⬛ definitely a buy

Could only watch 2 mins of it...the other guy sounds congested! N talks low!

Spinal. My back is broken. 😂😂

Pretty damn cool

Good Supernatural comic was Two Moons CREATORS Valerio Giangiordano John Arcudi starts the long journey of a young Pawnee man named Virgil Morris-aka Two Moons-fighting for the Union during the Civil War. When he is suddenly confronted with his shamanic roots, he discovers horrors far worse than combat as the ghosts of his past reveal the monstrous evil around him

Amazing. Black magic is so good. Waiting for the next volume for so many years 😢

This was a smart subject matter, there is barely any other videos with this. In before everyone else copies you :)

I have all three volumes now, they are very cheap here in the UK only $29.71, with free shipping

Great book ideas OmniDog! Thank you!

Great video Jess! You look like Gandalf 😂. Begin of next year the Magic Order Library edition.

Awesome video keep em coming!

Great vlog. Thanks for the suggestions. The Witching hour is one of my favourites. Can’t wait for the next instalments. Greetings from Belgium, Ellen.

lol that thumbnail

Wow, I thought I would be watching another KZbin video recommending books that I already knew about, but you just sold me three I was unaware of! Many thanks, My Wallet

Love these type of videos from you! Magic Order was one I wanted to check out but I guess I’ll wait for the deluxe now…..or I’ll get at least the first trade lol

I’ve been enjoying Mystic now that’s it’s on Marvel Unlimited. Tracking down a full run from the dollar bins. Is it the best? No … but is it better than I expected? Yes!

this was a lot of fun!

😂 💯❤️ on the thumbnail

LETS GOOOOOOOOOO

THAT BEARD! 🧙‍♂️ OMG! 😂😂😂

At some point, I would love to see the two of you do a read through the Karl Kesel/Dave Taylor Batman and Superman: World's Finest mini-series. It may be somewhat difficult to find as DC has not kept that title in print. It should be worth your effort to track down. Also would love to see you discuss a few Superman single issue and/or short stories. I would be particularly interested in your opinion of Hitman #34.

Omnidog, Silent Night of the Batman is a backup story in Batman 219. It is penciled by Adams. Batman 309, Have Yourself a Deadly Little Christmas by Len Wein. The Frank Miller issue you were.thinking of was "Santa Claus: Wanted Dead or Alive" from DC Special Series #21 by Denny O'Neil, Frank Miller and Steve Mitchell.

After going back and watching the "Anora" trailer, yes the Jess's's both have to watch this and report back

I also I would love Catwoman: Trial of the Catwoman by Darwyn Cooke & Ed Brubaker in Absolute Edition. Or at least in Deluxe Edition.

Fun episode

Omnidog, have you ever done an overview of the Englehart/Rogers run on Detective Comics? A legendary run that needs a definitive collected edition like an absolute.

Camelot 3000! That would be an immediate purchase for me. (As long as they restore the Bolland art) ;)

I wish DC would make a noir edition of V For Vendetta as it was originally published in Warrior magazine in 1982.

Great list! I definitely agree on Last God/Fellspyre chronicles, I would buy that in a second.

This book is phenomenal. The self-reflection is a real highlight for me!

I think it's good that Peter and Mary Jane move on from each other. It seems unhealthy to be in a relationship with the same person you dated in high school and uni. Yes it exists in the real world, but not nearly as common as meeting your spouse later on in life. It shows progression of character that they are different people now.

Steve and Beau, how do you feel the Australian public/society reacts to comic readers? I'm in Melbourne and unless other people share that they have read comics or are interested in tangential media do I ever talk about my love and passion for comics. A large portion of my workplace would just torment me if I seen reading them. So I only bring digital comics to work to read away from others.

Would love to see a Black Orchid Absolute, but it would be a bit thin. How about a 'DC by Dave McKean' omni, which could include all of his covers for Hellblazer, The Dreaming, Dead Boy Detectives (just the art, no text/logo). The 'Hold Me' story from Hellblazer. Any Sandman stuff that's not collected in the existing Absolutes. Maybe Mr. Punch (although the original is already oversize). My other dream Absolute would be one that collects work by Jon Muth, particularly the series Moonshadow. It was originally done for Marvel's Epic imprint back in the 80s, but Vertigo reprinted it in the 90s, so it seems like it could qualify. Moonshadow, along with the sequel, would fill an Absolute all on their own. But there was also 'Blood: A Tale', and his Dracula graphic novel. For DC, there was The Mystery Play, and Swamp Thing: Roots.

DC finest are $55 each if pre ordered from Comics Etc Direct. An Australian comic shop that ships nationally for $12 no matter how big your monthly order is.

Camelot 3000 is my pick

These are excellent picks, Jess!

I'm glad I found you omnidog, Thank you

No! Omnidog Worlds Finest first deserves an omnibus, there’s more than 30 issues and i getting tired of those skinny trades 😢

We need Absolute Harleen for sure!

Everything WildStorm, Pride of Baghdad, GL Agent Orange,

Other stories deserving absolutes: Twilight by Chaykin and Jose Lluis Garcia Lopez, Blackhawk and The Shadow by Chaykin, Ironwolf by Chaykin and Mignola, Longbow hunters by Grell and Cinder and Ashe by Conway and Garcia Lopez.

These would be my choices. Absolute Man of Steel by John Byrne. I'd love to get his full Superman run in Omnibus format, but in the Absolute format I'd love to get just the first six issues of the original Man of Steel mini-series so that I can put it on my shelf next to my Absolutes of Batman: Year One and George Perez's Wonder Woman reboot. I'd also like to see it recolored (maybe they could include new coloring and original coloring like Batman: Year One and The Killing Joke). Keep the coloring flat and graphic, but with better color choices (I think the color choices on the MoS mini-series were pretty garish). Something like Dave Stewart's coloring on DC: The New Frontier, which was also flat and graphic, but whose color choices were more sophisticated. Absolute The Winter Men by John Paul Leon and Bret Lewis. This was originally published under DC's Wildstorm imprint. I'm not sure if DC still owns the publishing rights to this or if they reverted back Leon's estate and Lewis. But that was a stunningly beautiful book that I'd love to get in an oversized format (I also have the Artist's Edition). Absolute Human Target by Greg Smallwood and Tom King. I agree with you on this. This may be the most beautifully drawn comic I've ever seen. Absolute History of the DC Universe by Perez and Wolfman. With all of the Graphitti Edition extras from the '80s, plus the B&W portfolio pieces. Sure, it was out of date almost as soon as it was published, but Perez and Kesel's work is beautiful. Absolute World's Finest by Steve Rude and Dave Gibbons. Gorgeous artwork. Absolute Superman #400. For anyone who's never read it, this may be the best single issue of Superman ever published (in 1984). The collection of artists is AMAZING. Absolute Orion by Walt Simonson. For me, this series was Simonson's best artwork. Some of the layout design work in this book is amazing and deserves to be seen at a larger size. Absolute Catwoman by Darwyn Cooke. Selina's Big Score, the Detective Comics backup stories by Ed Brubaker and Cooke, and the first four issues of the Brubaker/Cooke Catwoman series. Absolute Batman and Robin: Year One by Chris Samnee and Mark Waid. I know that this series just started coming out, but this series is stunningly beautiful. So get the Absolute Edition on the schedule now. Absolute Black Orchid by Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean. I also agree with you on this choice.

The 2 books that spoke to me on your list Camelot 3000 & Batman: Taos of the Demon, but I prefer older stories anyways. 1 I’d add would be the Detective run from Englehart & Marshall Rogers, from the 70s. 2 of the highlight stories were the Deadshot story in 473 and the Jokerfish story in 475. This run was most recently collected in Tales of the Batman: Steve Englehart in 2020

My suggestions would include. .. Batman the cult Batman secrets Batman/ghosts by Sam Keith, Green Arrow year one by Diggle Green arrow lemire & sorrentino Swamp thing by Snyder & paquette Earth One titles batman, supes, WW etc Nightwing the new order Gotham by Midnight vol 1 & 2 combined by Fawkes I'd like to see them break into more vertigo and black label titles. Black orchid was an awesome choice. I'd maybe like to see...... We3 Batman reptilian by ennis Batman damned by Azzarello WW dead earth by DWJ Suicide squad Blaze (really underrated) Catwoman lonely city (the colour palette is phenomenal) Rogues by Williamson (again the colour palette is awesome)

Fantastic list as always man! And a few on here I’ve never read in any format, which equals great recommendations to me 😂📚📚📚

I would love to see those Supergirl books in an Absolute.

Nice list. My picks are Batman Year 100, Pride of Baghdad and Joe the Barbarian. :) I'm waiting for these in absolute form.

They need to release a *Man Of Steel by John Byrne omnibus* just incase this video manages to catch the radar of any DC employees
