This is the perfect "Explain it to me like I'm 5 years old" starter video.

[@Armando-dh2rz]

Awesome video. I'm a new collector, so please continue with these 101 serious. Great information.

[@zerochii0]

This is the perfect video for someone new to comics(like me). Thank you!

[@davidmalcolmleeharris799]

Great video! I’m a fan of floppies and trades ;)

[@tyberius5615]

Thank you mate, you really helped me understand these better!! I just started to get into comic books, but in my country ( Eastern E.U ) it's a bit different, like different numbering, titles, same stories with different collected editions, etc, but I still buy them and I love them! My first comic book was The Dark Knight Returns ( the edition with the 3 stories in one single book ) and I just finished it and ordered a lot more, haha! Thanks again and take care! Subbed!

[@DanielHog13]

Kudos. Very well outlined & described. We ALWAYS need "101" vids like yours. You could do one on the (to me) overpriced Masterworks & why some feel they are high quality & an equal number of folks argue they are a Marvel Cash Grab.

[@kitkatkc9]

This is perfect, thank you 😊

[@dragonsgreedgaming13]

As a total comic noob this was beyond helpful. Ive been considering finally getting the walking dead series, and there are so many variations at this point it can be quite overwhelming. Thanks for a great vid!

[@_The_Worst_]

This video was very helpful, most certainly, you explained everything so very well, which I heIIa appreciate...🤘🏼💯✔️

Looking forward to the killing joke overview vid! I had a first printing of the original tpb, but sold it on eBay many years ago. Great info, BJ, keep ruling!

[@grayflaneur4854]

I have found that the electronic Kindle versions, especially the omnibus-sized products are outstanding. The technology works very well. I am totally a Star Wars comic fan and those works by Dark Horse and Marvel are awesome.

[@reganbothma5435]

Great content - thanks mate

[@user-kf9cn4rp3t]

Solid recap! Gonna show this to my girlfriend so she can understand the lingo. Thanks!

[@NightOwl_2810]

Man,Thank you for telling me this. I been getting interesting in comics and I don't know alot about them but now I know.😅

[@HayGurlHay]

Thanks this is very helpful! I've been trying to decide if I get the Sandman Omnibus or Absolute version. Some people said the omnibus is so heavy and hard to turn the pages, but it doesn't look so cumbersome to me lol

[@umersalman1]

Get the cbr ;)

[@farhansaid9138]

Great n informative vid man!there is also compendiums i guess which not sure Marvel does....peace n love from Malaysia, cheers!

[@mohameddokkan6802]

Hi wich size comic bags would fit for hardcover comics ?

[@ronniesilas1980]

Great video Batman is my favorite comic character as well! I prefer trades but it does make sense to get the omnibus so you can have the full story.

[@cagegrant213]

i am batman fan read comics since the 60s wow! back then we use to read comics walking home but not today also into anime musics neal adam omnibus batman book tough to get you go to ebay or Amazon cluck save later and...pow! its sold price goes up!

[@shugobhastudios]

Very helpful. Only other thing I would like to have seen was a shot of them overlapped but can look up an infographic, I am bookbinding TPB weighing up if I should just go the omnis with the (imo) average cover designs (100 bullets)

[@shugobhastudios]

I've bought the TPB set! another factor which is what I am experimenting with is TPB often have the matte cheaper paper which can be interesting. This will be my 2nd custom omni on that newsprint kind of paper, keen to see how it turns out, it's looking like half the cost.

[@HayGurlHay]

Do you find a difference between Absolute and Omnibus comics in terms of paper and ink/color quality?

[@LeeJennings-ql1di]

The Artificially Intelligent Alien: Earth Bound

[@cagegrant213]

collect batman movies and cartoons?

[@comicsaredope]

I do! I have all the burton/schumacher movies, the Nolan trilogy and the complete animated series on dvd/Blu-ray

[@delaneyhodgkin]

Good job explaining to noobs! DC Black Labels are the only oddballs left out. They are basically magazine size.

[@comicsaredope]

Thanks! I totally forgot about prestige and digest sizes. Plus whatever The Last Ronin counts as lol

[@delaneyhodgkin]

@@comicsaredope facts!

[@superdragonz1]

You forgot my favorite, adamantium edition 😂

[@JustWuddy]

Really helpful, thank you! What did you think of Rebirth? I've heard it called a mistake.

[@comicsaredope]

Glad it was helpful! I actually haven't read the full rebirth run. That hardcover just came in the other day. I read the last 10 issues of Tom King's run (75-85), and I wasn't impressed. But I've heard it's really good up until issue 50.

[@JustWuddy]

@@comicsaredope The only Tom King Batman I read was Everyone Loves Ivy in ~41-43. Ivy is a favorite and I'd call that story conceptually cool but fast and loose everywhere else. I'd like to hear your thoughts on Tom King as a Batman reader.

Thanks
