Avengers Omnibus Volume 4 Review

A showcase of this Marvel Omnibus collection featuring the classic Kree/Skrull War and original Avengers Vs Defenders stories!

Thanks for yet another great review. Couldn't agree with you more about Neal Adams. RIP! (Let's ignore his crazy Batman Odyssey stuff! LOL)

Yeah Odyssey was definitely a creative misstep 😂

This video was great. I just read the Kree/Skrull War trade paperback a couple of weeks ago, and it holds up fairly well. It's remarkable the talent that run of issues had with Thomas as writer, and Adams, John Buscema, Sal Buscema, and Tom Palmer as artists. I think Barry Windsor Smith might have had an issue in there too. I haven't read the Englehart run, and I'd love to dive into that to see his flavor of writing, in addition to why he was so attached to Mantis as a character. Anyway, once Marvel reproduces these first four volumes I'm going to have to pony up the funds and pounce on them t-minus right quick. Hopefully for the 60th anniversary Marvel comes through. BTW, if you get Defenders volume 1 I'd love to see you spotlight it. That or Luke Cage volume 1 which I think you said you were getting. I'm waiting for my copy in the mail as of now, and can't wait.

I just got the Luke Cage Omnibus today so it'll definitely feature on the channel soon! I've only read some of the issues in it before though so want to read the rest before I review it. Defenders is still on my "maybe" list at the moment... Thanks for watching!

As you probably know by now, Vol 5 has been announced, and is available for pre-order.

[@TheComicBookTrove]

I do indeed know, and I'm looking forward to adding it to my collection!

@@TheComicBookTrove Nice !

[@nivekleveb8872]

Such great looking stuff, I might have to track these down (at least volumes 3 and 4). Afaic even though I was a 90s kid, this is what superhero comics should look like.

[@forsakenV12]

Do you like the hickman avengers more than the classic avengers?

[@TheComicBookTrove]

I haven't actually read Hickman's Avengers run yet

[@kurumais]

did they explain scarlet witches hair color change?

[@TheComicBookTrove]

I think it's just changed at times due to the colourist working on any particular comic, not for any story-based reason. So sometimes it's been black, brown or reddish for no particular reason

[@TheChristramontano]

Great review! I seem to notice Marvel has a penchant for ending their omnibus runs at volume 5. Hopefully sooner rather than later, we get vol. 5 of Uncanny X-Men, Fantastic Four, and Avengers!

[@TheComicBookTrove]

I'd be very happy with a Volume 5 of each of those!

[@michaeldy3157]

Vol 5 is out

[@michaeldy3157]

Vol 5 is out now

[@TheComicBookTrove]

Yeah I just uploaded a review of that one too

[@ejthecollector]

Loved your reviews of all the avengers books, I have all 4 myself but haven’t read them yet, I love the art all the way through

[@mitchnissen7175]

Great review! I have this book too and really enjoy it. The Kree Skrull War still holds up for me and remains a favorite. I too love the Avengers Defenders War as well. This book kind of ends at a strange point though. Mantis' story begins here and gets moving along, but culminates in Avengers #134 with the end of the Celestial Madonna arc. It's too bad Mantis' story had to be broken up like this, but that would've been too much to cram into this one omnibus. So, like you, I look forward to the next Avengers omnibus to finish that story which will likely end on issue #150. Anyway, great stuff! I'll be watching more of content!

[@TheComicBookTrove]

Yeah the more I think about it, the more I really want a volume 5... Thanks for watching!
