[@g-roy23]

Amen

[@edwardmemwah1610]

I am an X-Men event omni collector all the way! Marvel scammed me by releasing Uncanny Vol. 5 and conveniently not explaining that the event omnis would be a separate line, so I'll be selling my Uncanny 5 and picking up Mutant Massacre Prelude - But why did Marvel make the spine white?

[@g-roy23]

They probably weren’t a separate line to begin with, they likely got it into their heads that if they could sell 10 vols of Conan maybe they could try it with the big titles, never mind that Conan *needed* to be pumped out because they were on the clock & even then they didn’t reach the end with Savage Sword.🙃 Hence Uncanny 5 and the clear revisionist attitude towards Massacre-Jim Lee vol 2, that didn’t end well with the *real* gap filler in Prelude to the Massacre, the true Uncanny 5.

[@coreyherrman2677]

It can be annoying when it's not uniform with the other spines, but honestly I'm tired of the just black spines, so I'm cool with switching it up.

[@LegionofComics]

Really dig those X Factor suits

[@DumDumDugan1911]

I wish I knew this Mutant Massacre Prelude was coming out before i got X-men vol 5 because it literally collects all of vol 5 plus a bunch of extras like x-factor 1-8.

[@hexginnkgo]

Little tl:dw - If you have kept up on all of the X-Men omnibus or just the event omnis, all you are missing from the X-Factor volume 1 is Mephisto Vs. #2 and Secret Wars II #5. Everything else is collected within Mutant Massacre Prelude, Mutant Massacre, Fall of the Mutants and the single issue of Marvel Fanfare #40 is in Inferno Prelude.

[@g-roy23]

I’m a bit surprised the letter pages & introductions are in the Prelude Omni because I thought that stuff was only in the numbered volumes. Secret Wars 2 is definitely gonna get a reprint at some point. Gonna be frank the only thing going for X-Factor Vol 1 is Mephisto vs 2, there’s no masterworks so no letters or intros, that’s all it has & even that story along with 3 should’ve been in Mutant Massacre.🤷🏻‍♂️

[@hankmoody4610]

And if you own Uncanny omnibus vol 5 already, then it only makes sense to buy one of these two books, to have the remaining X-Factor issues in oversized format. I went with X-Factor for the extra Mephisto issue, as I can't easily sell my UXM 5 to replace it with the more complete book (Mutant massacre prelude).

[@phroz3n]

So mad I bought UXM vol 5 before I knew this was coming out.

[@cactusblack5993]

UXM vol. 5 should've been what this book is collecting. All of the missing issues in the X-Factor epic collection. Not your fault at all that Marvel decided to be greedy.

[@g-roy23]

The orphan issues 40 - 59 would be collect in this vol 2, but I hope they do some type of post Inferno omni to fit in between the events with this issues..

Man, when I saw this book in a thumbnail in another video I couldn't wait for this to drop! I was waiting for this X-Factor breakdown. Thanks Gem!

[@AnimalCMan]

Easily went the event route when I realized there was still an issue gap between X-Men vol 5 and Mutant Massacre. I also did want those early X-Factor issues since they popped up in Mutant Massacre, which meant that Prelude omni bridged two gaps in one. Also was thrilled they finally are doing an omnibus of X-Tinction Agenda, which will bridge the other gap between the Jim Lee vol 1 and 2. That will complete the entire Claremont run unless I've missed something. Happy to finally reach the end of that journey.

[@g-roy23]

You went *the* route at the time mate, just like me & I’m sure *many* others. They only became “event” books after the Uncanny 5 fiasco, Marvel went full revisionist on books they reprinted, combined & rebranded by popular demand at that point. Yet they still gave us the big gap filler in X-Tinction Agenda, again by big popular demand, so it’s just weird where Marvels priority is.

[@derektyler5817]

Definitely going the X-Factor route. Eventually I'll get rid of the oddball X-Men Omnis - Inferno Prologue, Claremont & Lee Vol 1 & 2 etc when the UXM omnis get up to that point. I'll keep the main Event omnis as Event Omnis in case I ever want to return to read just that story.

The collector in me says go with the numbered editions, but the working man in me says go with the phone book size event book. I pre-ordered the Bob Layton DM cover MM prelude from OPB about a month ago. My Xmen collection is still pretty new, so I'm not double dipping yet.

I Had to sell my Uncanny 5 omni when I heard about the prelude book. So annoyed by all the double dipping from Marvel you need to spend hours figuring it all out.

[@g-roy23]

It’s sad they’ve retroactively branded all the books they reprinted, combined and reprinted by demand as “event books” and treated them like a B Line just to prop up the unnecessary further numbered volume$ as *the* way to collect things. Because “Prelude to the Massacre” & “Inferno Prologue” were my favourite “events”.🙃

[@EmoryBalding]

I really don't mind the double dipping because I just won't buy the double-ups most of the time, what they did with Uncanny Vol 5 was just dirty though. There was a lot of backlash so I hope marvel got the memo, if they pull something like that again I'm not sure if it'll be worth it to preorder anymore.

[@davecironelibrarykid]

I agree with Gem -- I'd rather have the straight run of the series instead of an event-based omnibus. ** However, those extras in the event omni (interviews and Longshot series bible) are really strong.

[@g-roy23]

Those books weren’t “events” when Marvel was reprinting, combining & rebranding them en masse by popular demand, they were books that fit like a glove to one another between both X-Men & X-Factor, all that was needed was a some gaps that needed filling to then have one big reading order between the two titles which would ultimately lead to them becoming the Blue & Gold teams. Then Uncanny 5 happened & suddenly the atmosphere changed & Marvel acted as though this was the plan aaaallll along…then Prelude (the true uncanny 5) was announced😬😬😬

Not to mention X-cutioner's Song ECs & Omni, X-Tinction Agenda Omni, etc., I think these Omnis are really for people who want just one or the other. For us folks in between who want *all of it* we have ECs & single issues already 🎉 I know there are some pricey single issues from Mutant Massacre to Fall of the Mutants & Inferno, but they're worth it.

Great video and great to see these actually in the flesh. Gonna need to clear some shelf space. The X-Factor one has been pushed back so many times, wondered if it would ever happen. This title vs event is a real dilemma for me. I’m fortunate enough to be able to afford both but it doesn’t answer the question which is the best way to read them…

[@g-roy23]

With the Massacre Prelude & soon to be released X-Tinction Agenda X-Factor is largely collected in the “event books”, if they release say a X-Factor: Judgement War omnibus then that would give us all of the original X-Factor in the omnis that would already be out there. The only thing missing from the “event” books from what I can see right now is Mephisto vs 2 & maybe a story from Fanfare #40 that takes place after, I hope Marvel doesn’t use these individual stories as a carrot on a stick to get people to buy these books over ones that are already well collected and widely owned elsewhere but odds are they will🙄. If you *oooonly* care for X-Factor & don’t already have other books then probably get X-Factor but bear in mind ultimately these guys become X-Men again & that journey is soon be to collected in its entirety between X-Men & X-Factor through the “event” books all the way to Jim Lee Vol 2. Once upon a time they weren’t “event” books for a reason, and with X-Tiction Agenda & the prelude book *still aren’t* .

Marvel just decided to be a certain way without any transparency because there was *clearly* no actual long term plan until very recent or a *big* change in course which has ultimately left a lot of folk feeling a bit unsure about their collection.

Stephen, are you saved from hell? All have sinned (Romans 3:23 KJV). The Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose again the third day (1st Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV). Jesus Christ shed His blood for our sins (Ephesians 1:7 KJV). Water baptism DOESN'T save us (1st Corinthians 1:17 KJV). We are saved by grace through faith, not our works (Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV). Only Jesus Christ saves from hell.
