Five Collected Editions Hidden Gems! | Graphic Novel Hidden Gems | MAY 2022 |

[@mattthompson3371]

Truly one of the best segments on the channel and one that stands this channel above the rest.

[@projektvyking7521]

Preach!

[@FrankCastlesConscience]

One of several, announcements for me.

[@ReaperXC]

It’s back!

[@MPSFilmsOfficial]

big fan of the new intro!

[@CS11]

just wanna say your channel has been so incredibly useful in so many ways for a new reader especially like me all the recommendation videos, reading orders, reviews on new collected editions etc, the perfect channel for me 😅

[@Josh_Greathouse]

Get out while you can...my poor wallet!

[@beastlaz]

Literally while I was watching this video, I went online and got Vol 1-3 of Liberty meadows for £29 ($35) from Ebay, and vol 4 from Amazon for £12.99 ($15:88), I also got the Edgar Allen Poe books Vol 1 & 2 for £25 ($30:53), So all very cheap, I was familiar with Liberty Meadows I think I had some floppys of it back in the day, so thanks for reminding me, and I've always love Frank Cho's art, the Poe books were new to me but they are very much up my alley, Thanks Omar!

[@skylarhall5159]

Anyone that wants to read Tillie Walden's "a city inside" I would recommend you pick up her short story collection "alone in space" it has that story and lots more for a decent price.

[@comicsdude3166]

Thanks 👍👍

[@joshuahayes4315]

My favorite videos from you because I mainly read indies not marvel or DC. You should do a horror graphic novel hidden gems video.

[@tylerpeck9754]

He has a horror one.. probably a couple years old now but it’s on channel!!

[@RicardoDelfin]

It's awesome that comic strips made the cut!

[@TheLookinGlasSelf]

Thank you for bringing this back. Love this. So many spots on my shelves are a product of your finds.

[@forgerelli1]

Tillie Walden has some insane regiment of going to bed at 9 and getting up at 6 every single day and working. I recommend everything she's ever done or will do.

[@justinsheldon5887]

Is the Hidden Gems video segment a Hidden Gem itself? 🤔

[@bclayj]

Your best segment Omar, keep these coming!

[@NearMintCondition]

Thank you!

[@Chandasouk]

Very brave to hide Thanos' gems!

[@ineffablejoy]

Ahoy Comics is really killing it. I love their books.

[@Jombie4001]

I dont know if you've ever mentioned this graphic novel in a past video but I think the short 3 issue series " WE3 " needs more attention. It's so amazing.

[@BleedingDinoLove]

I missed this segment, I may have to check out Elsewhere, sounds pretty cool!

[@Sooner4ever1994]

The Woods by Tynion is my personal gem. Love that story and never hear anyone talk about it

[@TheMoheaddinbody]

Picked that series up during the 2020 lockdown. That is one of my favorite reads. Right next to Grass Kings and Black Badge.

[@NearMintCondition]

I actually wrote that down last year, so I'll be trying it this year.

[@projektvyking7521]

That shirt is straight up a hidden Gem; do they have a green one Straight Outta NYC Sewers? Here are some all in one trade Hidden Gems from the vyKING Projekt: The Steam Man In The Flood Strange Skies Over East Berlin Judas First Knife Cemetery Beach Huck Bang!Tango The Squidder She Said Destroy

[@Jaysondoesstuff]

Their is a great book that just came out that I haven’t seen anyone talk about. It’s called Mamo, it’s a dark horse book I think. It’s about a witch becoming friends with a girl, I really dig what I’ve read.

[@NearMintCondition]

Thank you and wrote it down!

[@ivancruz5735]

You should also check out The Last Witch by McCreary. Both are from Boom btw. Really fun reads.

[@jonnyneverland5276]

All of these look like they’ve worth checking out 👍

[@Josh_Greathouse]

Liberty Meadows is a hidden gem?! HOW? I love this strip and need to re-read it. I love Frank Cho's work, but his humor is the best. I think he just got the full rights back if memory serves.

[@bbbrickstudios6067]

One of the hidden gems for me is the red lantern series from the new 52, the first 2 volumes are written by Peter Milligan and vol 3 to 6 are written by Charles soule, the later stories are the best, has some great scenes in it.

[@NearMintCondition]

I’m a big fan of that series and have it custom bound. I believe Milligan did the issues and then Soule. Great stories

[@lunarleo5986]

Love these vids

[@bassgod47]

A book I have been really digging for it's production and humour is the 'Forming' series by Jesse Moynihan. This guy worked on Adventure Time for years and quit his job a few years back to focus on his own work. He has two beautiful hardcovers out that are some of the funniest books I have ever read and it seems nobody has ever heard of them. Based on his Patreon it seems like the guy is really struggling and that's just a travesty. Omar, or whomever, if you're interested in a beautiful Independent book by a creator that has a true passion for the craft, I highly recommend these books. They look amazing on a shelf and will have you in tears with laughter.

[@stephentheshywarrior2759]

Hey Melanie. Miss your reviews on the channel. Bring them back please.😁

[@astonishingmelanie]

Thanks for the support! School’s almost out, and I read two books that I would like to film the video on Tuesday.

[@eagleal]

I love Liberty Meadows, beautiful art by Frank Cho, and it does make you laugh too. I highly recommend PvP as well - it's very funny and again great art, this time from Scott Kurtz

[@rivwilson9330]

Great video!

[@pb9498]

Hidden gem candidate: "Wasted space" by Michael Moreci and Hayden Sherman by Vault comics, it's a mix of star wars in terms of world where story is happening and preacher in terms of plot and it's not taking itself very serious, it's finished story in 5 tpbs, I highly recommend

[@NearMintCondition]

One of the best! I think I put it on my hidden gems a couple of years ago… maybe I didn’t, but I’ll check and if not! I’m bringing it up!

[@Popesize]

Liberty Meadows is fun as heck Just right in my alley. Although i already have the paperbacks, so i won't get them again. Keep up the good work!

[@stephentheshywarrior2759]

Grewat to showcase books that usually wouldn't be on my radar. Will you bring the Judge dredd case files back?

[@lunarleo5986]

Suggestion! - Plastic by Doug Wagner. 4 issues, self-contained story. Don’t read anything about it before you read the book

[@62LeftyBlues]

Liberty Meadows is great! Still have my collection ! Frank Cho rocks! Thick cheesecake!

[@mattheendpod2659]

Swish intro animation, chum!

[@omarreyesjr1920]

What other Frank Cho books do you recommend? Or better yet, how about adding a new video segment where u give recommendations of specific artist or creator books/series? But back to Cho, thick lady book recommendations are welcome!!!! Lol

[@salfordnurse]

One series/book I’d recommend, is Phoebe and her Unicorn it is aimed at children, but there’s enough humour in there for adults to enjoy. I don’t have children and love this series

[@NearMintCondition]

Thank you and wrote it down!

[@joeldheath]

I have heard Marty Stu as the masculine version of Mary Sue

[@thepartworkscomicsreader9488]

Now I've only read the first arc across the first two albums so only a quarter way through but I'll give a shout out to Orbital available in English from Cinebook. Buddy cop SF, great looking, four stories as pairs of ~50 page albums and I believe it's all done at the 8 books. You don't need selling on Dan Abnett and I know you already have Brink to get into but The Grey Area, also from the pages of 2000AD, is well worth a look. Near future alien immigration actioner. Currently on long term, possibly permanent hiatus but stops on a logical end point.

[@jordanthomas4379]

I always have to mention Black Fire by Hernan Rodriguez, published in 2011.

[@NearMintCondition]

I have it written down!

[@jordanthomas4379]

@@NearMintCondition a great Spanish language book, I think I’ve mentioned to you before, fantastic little horror book.

[@NearMintCondition]

You did

[@ReaperXC]

When there are creators who have committed bad acts, it should be mentioned when their stories are recommended for readers/buyers to be fully informed, eg Brian Wood and Warren Ellis. There are other creators Involved in the making of the art so the stories shouldn’t not be recommended but all information should be given.

[@NearMintCondition]

I try to stay updated and mention exactly what you said and leave it to the viewers to purchase or not. I did on the Moon Knight video I mentioned Ellis. Now, Brian Wood I was told had been cleared of everything after the last time I mentioned Wood in a video and I mentioned accusations. A few people in the comments told me he was okay now. So I looked it up. So if you know something recently, I don’t. Let me know. But It’s impossible for me to keep up with everything, I hope you understand.

[@kokhen]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@comicsdude3166]

Ooh I know frank cho.

[@mattheendpod2659]

Controversial Brian Wood,do you think you can separate art from the artist.

[@NearMintCondition]

The last I read he had been cleared of all accusations, but if you know or read something I didn’t please let me know.

[@mattheendpod2659]

@@NearMintCondition whoawhoawhoa, don’t want to cross beams here haha! Jokes, we’re taped a whole month dedicated to Warren Ellis and having dug deep on him we had zero problems doing so and in either case I made the decision that we’d see the art as separate irrespective . Was of general interest, not a gotcha, chum. Specifically with Wood, controversy does not make good bed fellows with accuracy and doesn’t necessarily recede in the face of it either.

[@NearMintCondition]

I understand and honestly, it’s impossible to keep up with all that stuff so sometimes I really won’t know.
