Super excited to get this one. So happy that it actually has the Harley one shot in this. I already have it in the Batman: Harley Quinn TPB but I'm happy to see it collected in an omni. Sometimes DC makes good decisions. Sometimes.

I really hope that these omnis continue the run in to a Batman by Brubaker omni, a New Gotham Omni & a Bruce Wayne: Murderer/Fugitive omni! Fingers remain crossed. Would love the Contagion/Legacy omni too!

[@stephanberger3476]

Those would be very thin omnis, I'm afraid. The Brubaker second tpb is pretty much the same as Murderer. Maybe if you include War Games, you could get some good books.

[@bbbrickstudios6067]

[@brenogomes9850]

THE BEST RUN IN EVER

[@amorbavian]

Do you know is this before or after James Tynnion Batman? I just picked up both omnis.

[@waza987]

@@amorbavianWell before Tynnion. This is a little after Knightfall and before both Dini and Morrison from the current Omnibus range. They have just announced a Bruce Wayne Murder/Fugitive which would be a little after this. But still no Contagion which would happen between Knightfall and No Mans Land

[@AryaChowdhuryMusic]

Can’t wait. Rucka is one of my favorite writers, and this era was wonderful for strengthening the Batfamily. Thanks for the overview.

[@BKsBullets]

I love this storyline. The best Batman crossover EVER. I loved rereading the newer TPBs last year

[@diamondly6250]

i like how in this book the art gets more and more modern as you go

[@purplerain225]

Finally, I remember borrowing the thick trades and reading most of this. At first felt daunting but as you mentioned stories like Montoya and Dent,, the Identity of Batgirl just keeps you engaged as well as Batman unifying his team. It's good to know this whole run is planned out in oversized format. Can't wait to dive into this world once more. Thanks Omar for the amazing overview.

[@johnlindsay7301]

I just got my copy too. I actually haven’t been so excited to read a Batman comic in a couple years. I think a lot of us might have overdosed on Batman and subsequently taken a bit of a Batman break. We’ll, breaktime is over. Enter: No Man’s Land

[@CS11]

The one overview I’ve been waiting for since it released, excited to watch this

[@bznarts]

Bro same. Omar is the goat 🐐

[@Indycowboy2]

Been on the fence and waiting for your overview before pulling the trigger. Thanks for the video and keep up the amazing work Omar ❤️

[@user-cn3vi1oi2t]

Well, that Harley Quinn one shot sold me on it. Hats off to you DC for putting in that missing issue, now take my money.

[@chibhawks4]

Man I hope they do a contagion/legacy omni. Then a war games omni.

[@Nahreru]

The tpbs are still available!

[@chibhawks4]

@Nahreru ya I have em. Omnis are better.

[@Nahreru]

@@chibhawks4 ah, ok!

[@KingInBlue]

Just made an order last week for the "Road to" omni, so now I'm invested in this story and will obviously get vol. 1 too :) Might have to wait 1 or 2 months though due to budget constraints. Not too worried about it becoming OOP - even if it sells out now, DC will surely do a stealth reprint when vol.2 comes along.

[@Nahreru]

Waiting for the part 2! (Omar, any news on a reprint of Batman&Robin by Tomasi?)

[@Krypton_Ken]

One of the best Batman sagas of all time. Can't wait to pick it up.

[@nelsoncarvalho6338]

Sweet. I didn’t know that Harley #1 was included. Obviously I’m excited for this and will be upgrading.

[@Jag2045]

Glad to see they finally collected the Harley Quinn One Shot with NML after missing it in both the previous TPB series of releases!

[@mike1019831]

I have the tbp volumes of the entire NML but I just had to get this omni to sit next to my road to NML omni. I just hope the second volume comes out soon!

[@fishin4bass2002]

This is my favorite Batman story/event

[@tetraquarks]

So happy to finally have this. How could it take DC this long? As always, excellent overview. Take care hermano!

[@davidgraham8299]

This one should arrive today/tomorrow, I'm diving straight in. Everything else goes on hold.

[@vikramchopra7272]

Hi Omar. You have a great way of doing reviews. I buy Omnibus's and have only one rule for deciding whether to purchase one or not. If you're reviewing an Omnibus, then it's a buy. If any comic has not been reviewed by you, then it's a no-buy. I've noticed you only make videos of those books which are worth buying and collecting. Great job. Keep it up. God bless

[@Rodimusprimerib]

Super happy to hear the binding is good, was kinda worried as this is a big book! Cant wait for my copy to arrive next week

New update to my DC Omnibus Reddit Post: www.reddit.com/r/comicbooks/comments/rs9dks/imaginary_future_golden_silver_and_bronze_age/?context=3

[@djsuth7727]

Got my copy a few days ago. Really looking forward to reading it. Agree with your comment, Omar, about a Contagion/Legacy omnibus ... that would be immense :)

[@CesarIsaacPerez]

When these issues originally came out I was limited to only $20 a month for comics and I decided to stick to image and indies (cause I would get full stories without crossovers) so I missed out on a bunch of cool stuff from DC and Marvel that I now get to buy in Omnibus.

[@robd1329]

Them image comics are garbage now

[@CesarIsaacPerez]

@@robd1329 They hold a lot of sentimental value and those are the comic book characters I grew up with. So, I love them.

[@xavier8394]

My copy was lost in USA on road to my comics shop in Poland 😭 new copy will be at first week of february. Lets Hope it won't lost again 😀

[@OmniNationComics]

As usual, great overview Omar !!! One of best Batman stories out there ! Can’t wait for my copy to arrive !!!

[@xXCigarXx]

Reminds of me a small scale version of battleworld how each villain controls their own little section.

[@Mark-pl3bv]

DC's doing great with these NML omnis! I have the new editions of the trades and I won't be upgrading, but this event clearly deserved its own set of omnis. What an original, dense and entertaining storyline!

[@stepanpolasek5157]

This is the fist time I've got the book before Omar made a video about it! Guess that was my last time as well since Omar is mostly responsible for me building my back catalogue: last March I saw your overview of the Road to No Man's Land omnibus and got so excited I've ordered the book immediatelly. I've read about the storyline years ago, but never had a chance to get my hands on it. Then I've seen your Batman reading order videos and through April and May 2021 I've collected all the Caped Crusader/Dark Knight Detective TPBs, Death in the Family and Year Two books, the three Knightfall omnis and Contagion with Legacy TPBs - I plan on reading them all in order, hopefully I have some time till they publish the second No Man's Land omnibus :-D And these are just few of the books I've bought after seeing your overview :-) Thanks for your great work, Omar!

[@ogierogelioll8747]

this is one of my favorite bat-family story. Hoping get my hands of those in the future.

[@johnnieriot13]

Great review as always. I can’t wait till all of the volumes come out so I can read it altogether. Always wanted to read this in whole.

[@GLEN2K12]

Hi Omar, I finally got my omni, but I can’t read it until vol 2 comes, so it’ll be 2 years in total from road, to vol 2 until I can read it all for the first time. Such a long wait, a year between books. Great overview as always, thanks my brother 😊

[@hydra66]

I'm apprehensive on this one. I enjoyed the NML storyland - both in comic and audiobook form. However, I keep reading comments on this omnibus' binding being way below par. Wondering what you guys think

[@darrellmetcalfe3615]

i got a copy for xmas and read the whole thing, book is VERY creeky but had no issues with it.

[@johnlindsay7301]

My copy seems fine. I haven’t read it yet but I’ve gone they the book to give it a good breaking in. I was actually pretty happy with the binding.

[@kevinvendt5948]

Great review!!! This looks like a great book, however, I think I will be passing on it as I purchased the original five trades, then the larger updated trades. I am not sure I can justify purchasing this story again.

We always can use another Batman omnibus! Thanks!

[@stephentheshywarrior2759]

This omnibus looks fantastic. Still hoping they reprint the trades. Id be all over those.

[@eddiethealbatross5734]

I got this book a week ago. Such a pretty book and looks great next to RTNM.

[@darrellmetcalfe3615]

got this book day 1 and my only complaint is the noise of it. as in it creaks and groans every time i pick it and scares the crap out of me. that being said read the whole book and no issues so thats a plus lol.

[@kennygarcia2605]

That’s a great cover

[@secondc1tysaint143]

Hey Omar, first off, great video, as usual! Got my copy today, arrived late as well, so excited to finally read No Man's Land, never read the story before! However, my Omni doesn't have an eye, I opened it properly twice but still lays super flat, like it's glued to the board of the spine.. anybody have that problem as well? Is that going to be a problem?

[@benvinciblevince4067]

I’ve just finished Knightfall. Can I just jump straight into this, and skip contagion and road to no man’s land?

[@tasan215]

Nice, cannot wait for my copy. Still feeling salty DC cancelled Batman Hush Saga Omnibus, and Batwing Family Is Everything Omnibus.

[@danielchrysalis6554]

Mine came in Thursday. But i know you feel the same, that we want THAT Batgirl omnibus. (Not to drop names, since you refrained lol.) I keep hoping.

This looks awesome! Have ordered road to no mans land omni and will get this soon. Any news on reprints of Batman and Robin by Peter Tomasi Omni and the Batman Eternal Omni?

[@lucianomendes6599]

Hi. I need to read Road To No Man Land before this No Man Land?

[@thekaze]

When i got it i was disappointed with the gloss finish dust jacket. Wonder if the road to reprint has a gloss or mat finish. Oh well im almost ready to read vol 1.

[@jarrettreynolds4560]

I love DC but I hate their qualities of paper they use for a lot of their books! They use that old recycled paper material that is very fine and grainy and feels like paper they used in the mid late 90’s.

[@addidasabbibi808]

No back matter of consequence. C’mon DC!

[@josephramos4507]

Omar, sorry for my ignorance, but I thought Cataclysm was already collected in the the Road to Omni? Kindly clarify.

[@NmDPlm31]

Put my preorder in at CGN, still waiting for arrival.

[@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork]

I used to have the NML books and then the fuckers at TSA lost a few volumes on me when I was taking them through the airport when I moved from NY to CO. My favorite moment was when Two-Face was on trial with himself. I rather liked this story, so knowing they are releasing the series in omnibus form means at some point I'll pick them up. I still have to get the Knightfall books along with Brave and the Bold Volume 3 and Grant Morrison 1 and 3. Wait, Road to NML DOESN'T have Contagion and Cataclysm in it??????

[@NearMintCondition]

Cataclysm yes, no Contagion.

[@Indycowboy2]

Does Road to No Man's Land add a lot to the this book and a required read? Or is it fine to skip and dive right into No Man's Land?

[@MatthewNovak]

I read No Man's Land on DC Universe Infinite and skipped all the Road to stuff. All you need to know is that an earthquake hit Gotham and the US government declared it a no man's land. The story itself will fill you in on everything else. No Man's Land is one of my favorite Batman stories so I recommend you try it out!

[@Indycowboy2]

@@MatthewNovak thanks! Been struggling with what to do, but I'll definitely just go ahead and save some money and jump into No Man's Land! Appreciate it!

[@taterbug2824]

This might be a stupid question, but if I buy the No Mans Land Omnibus then does that mean I don’t need to buy the Batman Harley Quinn tpb by Paul Dini?

[@Shawn_Ewing]

Any idea what they will include in NML Vol. 2 Omnibus?

[@Jag2045]

If they combine the Batman NML "new edition" TPB's 3 & 4 into NML Omnibus 2 it should contain: Batman #569-574, Detective Comics #736-741, Azrael: Agent of the Bat #58-61, Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #122-126, Batman: Shadow of the Bat #89-94, Robin #68-73, Batman: No Man's Land Secret Files and Origins #1, Batman Chronicles #18, Catwoman #75-77, Nightwing #38-39, Batman: No Man's Land #0

[@MerlinMAVK]

This arc came when publishers were just overwhelming readers with too-massive crossover events and amid/just after the crash. The quality of art across many Marvel + DC books (including these) took a precipitous dive in this window of time too. Even so - somewhat intrigued by this just because it's a period when I personally checked out after reading all of the Bat titles for years.

It's such a small thing that only matters for hardcore fans, but I'd also argue that omnis are for the hardcore fans. While the logo isn't a deal breaker, I do agree with you.
