[@babylonshadows1877]

Here are some suggestions: Beyond the Western Deep. Its basically Game of Thrones with anthropomorphic animals (spoilers, that will be a theme in most of my suggestions). Its the story of these groups of animals separated by race and how they each conquered the land they live in. So far there are 2 hardcovers out but you can read it all online in case you want to try it first. Kairos by Ulysse Malassagne, one of the reasons I recommend this book is because it will give Omar a hard time trying to pronounce the authors name and we all love that. But more importantly this is the absolute best depiction of what true love is outside of Vinland Saga. If you want to teach someone the difference between true love and selfish love, show them this book. The art and story are a weird mix of ghibli and chibi style that I absolutely loved. If you give any books on my list a chance please let it be this one. It's such an underrated gem. There is one stand alone hardcover. Ava's Demon by Michelle Fus, do you have a girl who is about to hit those years in which they love edgy art and Tumblr cringy stories? Get them this book, they will not put it down. Just look up the art online and you will see what I mean. So far there is one hardcover out but again, you can read it online for free. Bianca Little Lost Lamb by Paolo Margiotta. It's the story of a anthropomorphic lamb trying to seek revenge against a group of lions. The story is dark and the book is bloody despite the art making it seem like it's a kids story, it is not. Only one standalone paperback so it's not that much of an investment. Short, sweet and will leave you wanting more. Probably has the best character designs of all my suggestions. Colder by Paul Tobin. A disturbing look into the world of mental illness. The antagonist is basically Joker and Loki mixed together. He feeds off peoples insanity. Literally. And he has been keeping one man alive for hundreds of years just so he can keep making this man more and more insane because it will be the best meal ever. But what happens when this man starts fighting back? It's the definition of craziness. Their fights take them into the debt of human understanding of what makes us who we are. It's a crazy trip. Feels like Morrison and Alan Moore had a hand in making this. Unnatural by Mirka Adolfo. Did you like Zootopia? Did you think it was kind of missing some blood and sex? Whelp do I have a book for you! Fantastic art and character design. The story is a bit soap opera-ish but it can be forgiven by how good the characters are. Not because they are "good" but because they are real.

Thanks for your hidden gems video Omar. I ordered the Last Siege and I should have it by Friday . I also ordered Skyward from your video and I got it in the mail today . You are the best !!!

[@sleekdeak]

I love these segments! One of my favorites you do. Been meaning to check out Black Monday Murders, too.

[@oxmeatpete]

Wow all of these seem very interesting to me. I really enjoy you doing this segment Omar. It broadens my reading content immensely! Thanks friend!

[@kjrock72]

I looked through your past haul videos and I bought black Monday murders & the last siege..highly recommended..thanks bro

[@sapphiro]

Please check out Thorgal. The series is still running for 40 years and I don't see anyone talking about it.

[@jordanrichardlewis]

I love these videos. My bank account, on the other hand, gets nervous when I start watching these videos!! I don’t know any of these, but by the end of the video, I want all of em! Lol.

[@Hardcovered]

I love the hidden Gem Videos. I just bought multiple Books from your Image hidden gem video.

[@jofox1186]

I really love your hidden gems videos. They're so enjoyable and useful. Many thanks!

[@shreyankdas4547]

First one🔥🔥🔥🔥. Love this segment so much!!! Will the x men reading order really have 8 parts???😂😂😂😂

[@trentschultz6782]

Great video Omar. Adding most to my list. I will add that Marvel Boy is very Morrisony which was not great for me (I'm probably in the minority for not being a Morrison fan), but if someone really likes Morrison's style they will love it. Speaking of Boom not sure if it's hidden but Giant Days is a heck of a gem.

[@Terraglitch]

I'm a simple man, I see a new omar video I press the like button. xD Thanks for the off the main road recommendations! Got some new stuff to check out. :)

[@BigT4489]

Ever since you recommended Lake of Fire, I love these hidden gems videos. Lots of books going on my TBR pile

[@Dennis-xm8uc]

Thanks for the recommendations!

[@johnnieriot13]

I tried to like this video like 5 times before it registered. Then when I scrolled down to the comments and scrolled back up, it was gone. I’ll keep trying though.Hope it gets worked out. Great list, great content.

[@chibiloki]

The Last Siege, Battlecats, and Black Monday Murders look awesome! And hey, I'm reading the Young Avengers/Runnaways tie-in to Civil War right now, and Noh-Varr is in that.

[@chrisbrogan7241]

I really like Black Monday Murders and couldn't care less about the stock market. Great video as always.👍

[@DansBasement]

D4VE LOOKS AWSOME!

[@JennySparkz]

My thoughts exactly

[@ashleyn1979]

Damn that battlecats look cool!!! Dammit something else to look at buying!

[@TheRonin22]

Interesting list! Some of these I'm gonna have to pick up. Especially The Last Siege looks like something up my alley. Thanks for the recommendations.

[@danielromo9675]

Love these vids Omar. D4ve definitely looks like a fun time. Gonna look for it next time I’m at the shop

[@dacollector4452]

KZbin did a sub purge last weekend too.

[@bunkmastab]

Love these lists, Omar. For anyone interested in Marvel Boy, check out your local Ollie's (if you have one). I've seen copies of the trade for just a few bucks there.

[@grzegorzciombor5848]

Again... my wallet already is crying for help :P Thx Omar :D

[@ironwheelz]

This is not a graphic novel but a manga. As a new reader, I just came across Star Blazers Space Battleship Yamato 2199 and I love it. I have read the 1st & 2nd volumes but I cannot find anything else on the title. My question is do you know if the publisher has canceled the book or anything. I will definitely check out D4ve, thanks.

[@williamvargas123]

Hey Omar I think you should check out Sing no Evil if you haven't already! It's about a Finnish metal band trying to break out. It has some of the best art I've seen and the pages really do come to life , it's definitely a lesser known book that no one talks about. I picked it randomly at my lcs and was really surprised. Check it out man!

[@aarong3582]

Lol, I wasn’t that interested in battlecats until you said maps....man I love some good maps. #algorithms

[@KyleDavisMusic]

Up early for Omar!!

[@JennySparkz]

Dave DEFINITELY looks intriguing

[@just23bulls]

Finally you said a book I was looking forward to seeing in this series! Black Monday Murders is great! I just want more of it.. :( Cmon Hickman! Why do you have to be so busy all the time?! Thanks for the incredible vid though, Omar. :) Algorithm gang!

[@sharebear421]

Battle cats looks dope! I don’t see them on amazon though are the OOP?

[@Fredsinator]

Even at 0.25 speed you can't see Omar flick his figures. The Flash confirmed?!

[@simonlamarche1]

i love D4ve so much too!! that was so unexpeted. We need a deluxe of this , minimum.

[@--thiago-]

hey omar! have you read "miles to go" and "casual fling" ? would love to get your input..

[@chino062]

Have you heard anything on that Texas blood by Chris condon?

[@Vardimiss]

What are the chances Black Monday Murders gets a deluxe hardcover?

[@My_Toy_Soldiers]

Amazing. Marvel boy, battlecats, dave and last siege all added to my list

[@astonishingmelanie]

Omar will be interviewing the writer of Battlecats tomorrow @ 1:00 pm EDT.

[@My_Toy_Soldiers]

@@astonishingmelanie great!!!

[@Chandasouk]

Thanos appreciates all these hidden gems

[@coyley72]

You can see the design style of Hickman's Black Monday Murders follows through in all his books. Like East of West and HoX/PoX.

[@DMM9619]

Bought a few of your recommendations from these hidden gems list. Can’t wait for all those xmen reading orders though ☝️🔥🔥🔥

[@simonlamarche1]

i need more. please take my money now!

[@nextimaginaut]

Please be sure to rally David Gabriel for that Marvel Universe by Grant Morrison omni soon 🙏🙏🙏

[@needfoolthings]

Good idea. Probably the only way to get this awesome Marvel Boy mini in an omnibus

[@nextimaginaut]

@@needfoolthings I’ve taken this up with Omar before because I’m convinced that there’s enough Morrison Marvel material to produce a small omni and that would it sell well simply by virtue of name recognition.

[@ghostghost514]

Hi 👋, I would like to ask you a quest regarding these graphic novel. Are these graphic novels' story one time issue, I mean the stories ended?

[@NearMintCondition]

I always like to mention if they end or continue. Like D4ve has three books. Last Siege had one.

[@barryponsford2433]

Hi Omar, is there any other medieval comics that you would recommend?

[@robertiles2717]

Just finished Skyward, really enjoyed. Fast paced and excellent world 👍🏻

[@rrg7675]

I spy data pages... must be Hickman. I want to read Black Monday Murders... heard good things about it but they haven't completed it and its been a while. The Battlecats art looks amazing. Definitely would like to check out Battlecats and D4ve.

[@Madboy525]

One of the best segments!

[@ReaperXC]

Love these videos! Sign up to Patreon !

[@tolga_berk]

Do you get younger everyday or is it me? Thank you for the video. I will give some suggestions when I receive and read the books.

[@nicklor24]

I highly recommend The Stuff of Legend by Th3rd World Studios. It is a mix of Lord of The Rings and Toy Story, with a splash of Alice In Wonderland. There are five volumes out with a 6th (possibly final) volume planned at some point.

[@NearMintCondition]

Love that series. That hiatus really made me forget about it though.

[@greenlantern1986]

I'm bummed Spider-Girl Complete Collection Volume 3 wasn't on the list. I know it's a complicated inclusion given the first 2 volumes being difficult to find, but it's a great book that not enough people know about. Spider-Girl Omnibus 2022!

[@NearMintCondition]

Hey! Yeah I like this idea the more I think about it.

[@ReaperXC]

Dont even need to listen to descriptions; just get titles and download!

[@wyattstonhouse9648]

I wish dark horse would make a special edition for Astro Boy manga

[@ishsinghal4924]

Chew is also a good comic I don't feel people talk about

[@qrsx66]

"It's about the stock market." "Also there's cannibalism and human sacrifices." -- What ?!

[@NearMintCondition]

I mean doesn’t that sell you on a book!? I’d want in!

[@koloryty]

Madman by Allred

[@rauf9969]

The crow

[@peterlinfield]

I'll keep saying it: Brandon Graham's Prophet series is the bomb!

[@NearMintCondition]

I keep waiting for the HC. Sold my trades three years. Maybe it’s time to buy them again to talk about that kickass series.

[@peterlinfield]

@@NearMintCondition I've been hoping the same, but Brandon said it's pretty unlikely to happen given the sales numbers on the trades.
