I agree. I bought a bunch of omnibuses and never read them. I am just not that into superheroes. I like looking at artwork occasionally but I just dont enjoy reading them that much as an adult. I would of loved them as a boy but as a man I just cant get that into it when I can read so many other things instead. I read Sleeper and Fear Agent which were good. I love Savage Sword of Conan and will collect and read them. Right now I have the first three. I dont care as much for the Chronicles of Conan but would pick them up for a good price. I would get them if they were at or below 50 dollars a piece. I definitely prefer Savage Sword. I am also looking to pick up the Solomon Kane and Kull omnibuses.

The Geoff Johns Flash run is a slow start for new Flash fans. Once you get past the first couple of storylines, it really picks up. I can see how some of the older Marvel Conan series may not appeal to everyone. But you should really try to pick up the Conan by Busiek and Nord Omni coming later this year because it's one of the best Conan runs printed. This particular volume was originally published by Dark Horse and their approach to the book was going back to the original Robert E Howard Conan stories and redoing them in a linear fashion. With some issues acting as a bridge between two original Howard stories. The essence of Conan is back to an original form. And the artwork is original and unique; it looks more painted than drawn and colored. If that book doesn't make you come around to the character of Conan, nothing will. And speaking of bad omnis, I have to say I'm disappointed in DC's Starman omnis. Not the story itself, it's amazing, but the fact that they're collected into 6 thin omnis. 2 big volumes would be perfect and ideal. The thin ones are also out of print too. I just want a proper Omnibus for that great story. If you haven't read Starman yet, it's one of the best series you haven't read.

X-Men Inferno Prologue (not an official omnibus but it's still as thick as one) might be the one exception, but it's still part of Chris Claremont's run, so I'm keeping it in there. My recommendation would be to just buy the stuff you think you're going to like, but I'm sure you've heard that advice before.

While I do not really like that much the old DC stuff (with the exception of old Superman, from the time before DC "standardized" his powers), Conan is a completely different beast. Beasts, blood, in-picture tearing of limbs, heads and other body-parts, half (or completely) naked women, etc. I'm not sure if there are some "independent" comics like that nowadays, but at least Marvel/DC do not put out anything like it anymore.

Great video Gem but you can't regret the Marvel Horror Omnibus or the Stan Lee Steve Ditko v1 and v2 b/c something you taught me is how important having the history of it all on your shelves is. As for Golden Age, Superman v1, Batman v1-3, Wonder Woman v1, Justice League v1-3, Brave & the Bold v1-2, and World's Finest v1 are all you need. Conan the Barbarian v1 with Barry Windsor-Smith and Savage Sword v1 are all you need. Sienkewicz painted look takes time to get into - during the 1980s I was in college when these were coming out as single issues so you had a full month with each issue to spend time devouring it and getting into it! Give it a chance when you're not run a rush - the Elektra mini-series is one of the best and Sienkevicz painted art was also amazing on Frank Miller's Daredevil Graphic Novel. Totally agree, Morrison's Batman wasn't very good - except for the 16-issue Batman & Robin with the first six issues by Quitely open art! Don't purge your library! I think you've been negatively affected by the How Many Omnibus Have I Read Video you recently did with 29% - you even said in the middle of filming that this whole idea may backfire! By the way, I've said it before and I'll say it again - you have a very clear, persuasive and precise voice/phrasing - you could teach if you wished to and you'd be very effective.

The Marvel Universe by Byrne vol1 or 2 are definitely good. They contain more then one 10-15 issues of continuous stuff. Compilation books are not bad because they contain various stuff, but those that contain stuff that don't match together are shit like the Future's End or those first issue books you mentioned. I don't mind you to share what you didn't like because maybe this way they aren't going to be oop. 😎

I think the only omnibus I’ve bought that I’ve been disappointed with would be Brightest Day. I got it because of the oversized artwork, but I knew it didn’t have any of the tie ins. It still disappoints me that this omnibus didn’t have any tie ins. Book is still gorgeous.....just didn’t have anything other than the brightest day main issues.

A friend of a few decades now, and who's family used to own, run a killer comic shop in Nor Cal, gave me a heads-up to another KZbin channel when he found out I'd like to get into owning a few DC Absolute collections, and that I now own my first Omni as well. KZbin has been suggesting I check out a few uploads of yours as well. Well, I did, and a big reason for me wanting to get into owning a few Omnis seems to be a pretty big reason you made this video: the DC Golden, Silver and Bronze Age Omnis ! I still gave your video a Like though, but a shame I'm not your neighbor. Would love taking them off your hands 😀

Great video, it was fun to see what you didn't like. A top 10 worst statues you've bought would be great to. If you haven't done it already.

I can understand your not liking the Bronze & Silver- Age stuff. The writing was much different back then but your not liking the Conan vol.1 & Savage Sword hurts a bit. They were my favs in high school but I guess they were products of their times . You had to be there. They were revolutionary for their time. I hope they were good examples of how the medium keeps evolving, for the better I think. The books today are awesome. Hope you stick with collecting & your collection is awe inspiring.
