“You read comics long enough, you’re gonna see people hate on things they haven’t even touched or read.” PREACH OMAR ! Great overview as usual bro ! Love this run. VERY different, but I enjoyed it. Can’t wait to get my copy !

[@Jackfromshack]

Because Falcon is Falcon. Captain America is Captain America.

[@locusmortis]

I like Omar, but he's always going to defend Marvel, otherwise they won't give him free stuff.

[@UltimateChance]

@@Jackfromshack Except he isn't Falcon here, Sam is Cap. Sam is also currently cap. That's how mantles work. 😍

[@Jackfromshack]

@@UltimateChance "I'm Spider-Man because I call it myself" - Miles Morales That's not how it works, son

[@NearMintCondition]

@@locusmortis can I ask where this is coming from? Because I have been vocal about lots of things that Marvel has done. I’m talking about the story here. I’ve talked to them about spines, paper and binders. I have no idea where this idea of a “yes man attitude” has come from and honestly this is getting old. Always is an absolutist mentality and the only absolutes I like in my life are made by DC. People have asked for my thoughts on books and i make comments like: I don’t like civil war or House of m and I’m told I don’t know good stories. All i said here was judge it for yourself and I’m told i always defend Marvel or they won’t send me free stuff, which by the way i end up giving away lots of. I hope you enjoy your day.

[@theweeze1922]

Can’t wait for this, I remember people flipping out about Cap, Nick Spencer was on Word Ballon when it all happened and John said it best, years from now when it will be collected people are gonna love it.

[@trigganosis81]

I really enjoyed this run, especially the Sam Wilson series. I'm looking forward to adding this to the collection!!!

[@hamzadawud]

As much as I love Alex Ross, I'll be getting the standard edition cover. As a big fan of Captain America myself, I have to buy every single Cap Omni, lol. I haven't read this run, but I plan to read them all.

[@ReaperXC]

An underrated run.

[@JClif]

Surely they will do a Vol. 2 with the Secret Empire series. Thanks for the review, I was afraid of the mapping.

[@Vardimiss]

I thought it was a nice twist and definitely a different take that most readers were not used too. I did think the run kind of dropped off toward the end but overall I enjoyed it.

[@davidc1664]

Those Saiz flashback scenes with those beautiful colors. Man. This book is banger. Can’t wait to read it again! Come on vol 2! (Although I think the set-up for Secret Empire way better than actual event.)

[@nicklor24]

Been waiting for this one. Heard mixed reviews, but was still curious anout it. Thanks, Omar!

[@alesodaroz]

Can’t wait for my copy, got the DM cover. Awesome preview!

[@kevinwieken4381]

Thanks for the review Omar. I really hope we get a Vol 2!!

[@vincentimbesi3947]

I’m really looking forward to picking this up. I hope they announce a volume 2 soon! Great overview!

[@Martin_TheCollector]

Totally getting this and the next volume!! Far more interesting than Spencer's Spidey run. I prefer the Saiz cover for this 1st volume though.

[@CarlosDias-er6dd]

I don't have any Captain America omnibus. I think I'm gonna start by the Ed Brubaker 5 omni collection...

[@davidgraham8299]

Good place to start.

[@Romezguide]

I missed out on this mainly because people were mad about the run but I want read it

[@jocool7370]

Standard! Edition!

[@jameswatson5450]

I had the first three trades for this run. Actually an interesting read. Totally not what I expected. Art was good, twisty story. I really liked the flashback stuff as well.

[@miguellupi8709]

I am definitely picking it up but in a couple of weeks. And yes I am a Cap fan. Get me Gruenwald, Stern / Byrne or DeMatteis / Zeck and I will buy them all.

[@juuso7792]

I would sell my kidneys for those!

[@bloh8388]

Byrne's short but great run is in the first Bryne marvel universe omni

[@miguellupi8709]

@@bloh8388 I would rather have it in a Cap Omnibus (along with other stories), than in that one.

[@BowmansWorld]

This run was absolutely amazing, one of my favorites. The backlash was so dumb and just from normies who dont read comics. Everyone should let the storytelling cook, most of it reverts back to the status quo by the end of runs anyways.

[@elvaquerovaquero5243]

I was a big fan of his Sam Wilson, but his Stever Rogers was just okay.

[@datboisteve6992]

I liked Nick Spencer's ASM run, or at least that first omni of it, so I'll definitely be checking this out!

[@siriactuallysara]

I love the spoiler parts and like to know a bit of the story before I start to read it. I would watch deep dives like you did with the x-men animated series omnibus.

[@TrustInTheShorts]

Sweet!

[@garyfoster65]

Think I’m going to give this a try after initially dismissing it for the very reasons Omar said to be careful about. Some of the art looks really nice so worth a look from that POV alone. Thanks for the review Omar

[@TheScarletWatch]

I feel like this is the best Captain America run for me yet to read, Ed Brubaker's is good but I like the lighter tone/colour in this one more

[@stephentheshywarrior2759]

I won't buy this ATM but still enjoyed watching the video.👍

[@wholesomecomment45]

Was debating on getting either this omnibus, Dan Jurgens and Rick Remenders. Which of 3 is great start?

[@johnnieriot13]

I’m one of the few people that really enjoyed Secret Empire. I’ve been waiting awhile to read everything that leads into it. Which I’m pretty sure is this run? Hopefully.

[@shinyocelot04archive]

This run is the lead in to secret empire so you're good to go.

[@jameswatson5450]

I liked secret empire. Too many people don’t like their precious characters messed with. I think that’s half the fun of books

[@johnnieriot13]

@@jameswatson5450 I couldn’t agree. Secret empire retroactively made civil war 2 a little better plus the start of the book is so suspenseful when we see all the plans to keep the hero’s away fall into place. Underrated book that I think will be praised in the coming years

[@animeshadow2]

Will they be a book Vol.2. Does this book have the Secret empire book in it? Keep up the Great Work. I still hope you all will come to a Dallas Tx con.

[@dogmd7]

I love more modern comic runs in omnibus format but this isn’t one of my favorites. Good for those who want it though.

[@markzimmer5467]

I was going to pass on this but then…..capwolf? Now I need this book.

[@DrakonR]

Pass.

[@drderrickchua]

Can we have a list of other omnis that have Volume #1 on the cover but no #2 yet? Never say never like Ultimate Spidey.

[@mattthompson3371]

Yes! I just had to remind a new collector to be patient.

[@TheRafom74]

« I don’t know if we have a second omnibus » Well we better have it… It’s very frustrating to have a 100$ book labeled volume 1 and don’t have a second volume. I know it’s about sale and everything but at that price with that paper, we really don’t have to worry about Marvel finance.

[@mattthompson3371]

You sound like someone new to the hobby. We waited 5 years between volumes 1 and 2 of Uncanny X-men and 11 years between Wolverine 1 and 2. Patience is a virtue.

[@TheRafom74]

@@mattthompson3371 not really, I mean I don’t collect since 20 years ago, but like 9 years.

[@davidgraham8299]

Hoo boy! Well done. I'd love to believe you actually remember that, BUT, how much research went into that?

[@harlingen23]

Would I be able to jump into this as a newbie? Or do I have to read any other runs before this one? Thanks.

[@cornflaks11]

Read Rick Romender run of captian america.. before this to get context on how sam got the shield

[@jeffreybell6810]

So as someone who already has both volumes of the Sam Wilson Complete Collections, would these Omnis still be worth getting?

[@cornflaks11]

I got both too but I'm still buying this 😂

[@damonpono8337]

How was Sam Wilson taking on the mantle of cap originally received by comic readers?

[@FreeLatveria]

I don't remember many people really remarking on it until after "What they DID to Cap" and then people hated it by proxy. And I have to include myself in that since after jumping out during Remender's run, I didn't come back until I came back for Captain America: Steve Wilson. But I don't think I ever didn't like Sam Wilson Cap because of that, but because, to me, he looks like a character they couldn't make up their mind on. Is he Cap? Is he Falcom? Why not both! Well, because it looks stupid. The wings plus the shield just look too busy and have always bothered me. I really hate the design of the character. I think I will always love Falcon and hate Sam Wilson: Captain America

[@KillerTacos54]

Having read his Spider-Man run, it made me feel even worse for all the hate his Cap run got, because his Spider-Man run is the best we had in years. Now we're back to being stuck with a creative team who hates the character again

[@shinyocelot04archive]

His Spider-Man is a bit of a slow burn in my opinion but it has its moments. The stuff with Black Cat is great and the other moments with Peter's supporting cast are beautiful, but then there's moments such as Peter and Spider-Man becoming separate entities that made it really hard to take it seriously. It is certainly more entertaining than the new run though I will say that. The longer that goes on the less I care about "WHAT DID PETER DO?!".

[@rickgear2579]

Saved me money. No interest, but glad for those who want it.

[@kurumais]

why vol 1? what has he done besides this? he did secret empire but they have an OHC for that. if they do the whole event in omni its not all nick spencer. so that doesnt make it nick spencer vol 2. this stuff the lead up to secret empire was terrific. secret empire your mileage may vary.

[@trigganosis81]

It's volume 1 because this is only half of the Spencer run. Volume 2 will finish out the Wilson and Rogers issues, plus the Secret Empire mini-series. The SE tie-ins outside of Spencer's work aren't needed or essential. It's all done by Spencer.
