Gem Mint Updated Library Tour 8/2018

[@krayziejones]

Do you issue library cards because this is one library I could chill in.

[@thegraphicloop5506]

I know you’ve probably heard this a million times but V for Vendetta will probably be a huge surprise and an amazing reading experience.

[@CarlitoSuperLobo]

It's a warm wonderful world in your place. Excellent

[@MissHustle]

Daaamnnn!! that is a nice frigging collection. It's like paradise for comic books readers in there!!

[@brendanconant59]

Howard the Duck still sealed..... can’t wait for recent reads episode 267

[@Rufio629]

For some reason library tours are my favorite videos. I just love them.

[@kryptoniterocks8245]

Dam dude that's one sick library!!! Love to chill on the couch on a Friday night and just read some awesome stuff in that man cave...

[@dreworbinson7465]

Hey Gem - yet another great room tour - building Gempires! I highly recommend you read The Ultimates omni by Mark Millar and Bryan Hitch - such a huge influence on the first Avengers and Captain America movies - amazing stories and awesome artwork - you will be impressed! Peace ✌️🍻⚡️🗽😎👽👁👁

[@ultimazingspidey]

Asked to see the collection, and my request was accepted. Thanks! Such a massive collection

[@GemMintCollectibles]

i live to serve

[@NFLDude56]

Luthor and Joker are super dope, Lee Bermejo's Joker design was the inspiration for Ledger's Joker. I have a soft spot for Dark Tower and Oz, the DT comic was my introduction to the series, and it's my favorite book series, and OZ has some amazing Skottie Young art. A Recent Reads for Remender's Image books would be cool. Gotham Central's one of my favorite series, that's a must read.

[@comicsmisexplained]

Finally got to watch this. Super impressive man. Would you recommend getting those Sandman volumes or those new omni’s? Think volume 3 just came out. Wasn’t sure which might have more extra content inside

[@dalmo8340]

Great collection update. Please face the challenge and read The Colossal Conan. Its one of the best comic book runs of all time. Highly recommended 😎✌️

[@CriticalYGO]

No lie, I've been wondering when you would do an updated tour of your collection and here it is. Great video !

[@smackabroad123]

One amazing collection!

[@theninjaassassin4468]

Fraction's Hawkeye and Waid's Daredevil runs are phenomenal.

[@myohmyDesign]

WOOOOOOOOO! Such a great set up for an awesome collection!

[@canadanionerdo5434]

You got one amazing collection. What got you into omnibus? Keep up the great work

[@kerrodlomath9905]

Awesome update the collection has grown immensely, quite a large backlog of material to read but the Mike mignola universe is definitely a big one I think it is brilliant focusing on a topic I thoroughly enjoy esoteric knowledge and the arcane arts and secrets of history been the main focus woven into an outstanding character progression minimal text story mainly been told with that unique art style that goes so well with, but unfortunately havent finished been collected in hc and I hate half reading something and waiting for the rest just like alot of those Remender stories deadly class, Black science, seven to eternity which are all equally great reads and can't wait till there finished aswell. Ha sorry for the long rant but love your work keep it up 💎💎

[@DMM9619]

Thanks for the tour man. Picked up my first omnibus ( green lantern Geoff Johns ) because of you. Keep it up brother 👌🤟

[@GemMintCollectibles]

awesome man, cant go wrong with that one

[@ArtbyPatrickPetruccello]

Love the library...mine is coming along but no displays yet. Conan was my favorite back in the day as I was a Frazetta nut and damn wish I could track that Colossal down. Have the Civil War box set but have not looked at it as understand it is not in chrono order...which blows. So have to figure out which way to go with that. I have been picking up some absolutes on your suggestions and love them.

[@jsalsa2369]

Damn Gem, your gonna need to reinforce the 2nd floor with all that weight from them books. Lol Great tour.

[@bryanwilson2165]

Great update. Seeing some of the whale books upsets me lol. I was one that requested Hawkeye by Fraction. It still sits in my Wishlist cuz I have been buying so many other books.

[@brentlevanen2252]

Damn Gem 💎 your collection is amazing 😁

[@mistermiracle-dametre4071]

Awesome I love these tours Gem. You should do a recent reads on Absolute Luthor/Joker

[@sen.skyburn7859]

Have you read the 6 issue run of Moon Knight by Warren Ellis from 2014 by chance? Excellent 6 issue arc, unfortunately after that Brian Wood took over writing and the series declines... but the first 6 issues are incredible!

[@GemMintCollectibles]

haven't read it

[@tibordurgonics]

Hey Gem, awesome library.

[@barneyrubble8141]

Great book collection! I think I need a library card! Ha!

[@Martin_e.g.]

Damn ... Gem ... you need more kallax. Those gold, silver and bronze age omnibuses could be turned into smaller separate collection and used as decoration somewhere close to the gem cave because you are probably not gonna read them soon/often and they take so much space.

[@marioarmendarizjr1974]

Collection goals

[@TheDeluxeEdition]

Such an epic collection!

[@comicbook_crackhead9194]

Yo love the collection bro you got everything! I really recommend that Tokyo Ghost book its amazing bro the art, stands out.

[@joelatorre]

Thanks for the room update Gem was looking forward to an update vid. And hey if you want to make more space there's a new printing of the death and return of superman omnibus coming out next year, so maybe you can do a comparison vid for that and maybe a giveaway, ALSO, there's a new 52 Wonder Woman run omnibus coming out so you can free up those two WW absolutes if you want to as well. Keep up the great content

[@GemMintCollectibles]

jeez all these double dips

[@nickbalant9606]

Been waiting for this video! Gem is a god among men

[@emir8192]

If someday you want to sell the chew omnivore edition to upgrade to smorgasbord edition, i'm interested in buying it! The only problem is that i'm from Argentina but i'd pay the shipment! Awesome library tour!

[@Breal2121x]

Awesome vid! Mad jealous of your collection. Keep making great content!

[@joshualong6900]

And you’ve got to read Top Ten, Black Science 1-2, Deadly Class, Tokyo Ghost and LOW

[@MrGeorgFTW]

Chew has bigger Absolute-style CEs too. Called Smorgasbord Editions.

[@GemMintCollectibles]

yea i know...i was pissed when i found out

[@dynamicpenguin55]

does it really matter though

[@GemMintCollectibles]

not really

[@romeross1557]

Damn yo, you haven't read JLA/Avengers?! That's one of the best crossovers from DC and Marvel. No spoilers, but there's a epic fight between two well known heroes, with a shocking outcome. A must read.

[@kytim89]

Could you do a review of the Absolute Ronin? Do you think Old Mam Logan and Daredevil: Back in Black will get omnibus issues?

[@GemMintCollectibles]

I'll try to get to it...I do think they'll make an Old Mad Logan Omnibus. I'm not so sure on that DD.

[@PS_Guest]

Sweet collection and vid, Gem. Man don't be hating on Howard the Duck haha. Steve Gerber's run is some of my fav 70s stuff - Satire, social commentary and absurdist humor!

[@moyerr]

No lie, that was some of Gerber's best work

[@jeffreyroberts4156]

"I went over the edge"! lol Loved that comment when mentioning your collection of the Muppets & Oz (or even why Howard The Duck was still in it's shrink wrap)! Too funny. I would like Manible to cover the Age Of Apocalypse Omnibus as I was thinking of still picking that one up. I keep hearing great things about that storyline. I know this sounds sacrilegious with most of your viewers but I was never a big fan of all the artists featured in that volume. I came from a generation before the Millennials so when I came back to comics in the nineties I saw a lot of that art like I saw music in the late eighties (i.e. corporate hair bands where I couldn't tell one group from another...they all looked and sounded alike). But, if the story leaves such a lasting impression of those who read it back in the day, I'm willing to check it out.

[@GemMintCollectibles]

he's actually reading it now and will do a review of it

[@jakenap7184]

I love looking at your library updates because I still go “wtf” when I see some of the Omnis Marvel decided to print. Also, a Chew recent reads would be great :)

[@dcandmarvelcollector7646]

That collection is seriously impressive! Jeez haha

[@Gotham-nl5tx]

Awesome brother absolutely awesome ….. If I had that library id never leave the house lol ….. Peace

[@GemMintCollectibles]

i try not to lol

[@samiamcomics]

This is the definition of impressive. So cool.

[@hectorreyesLIVE]

Didn't see the Artifacts Deluxe Edition by Image, have you heard of it. Mashup of characters including Witchblade. My bad if you mentioned it. Bad ass library, Son!

[@GemMintCollectibles]

thanks bro...i didnt see that book. will have to look into it.

[@terriazcue9209]

I was just looking at that book on ist interested lemme Kno if you Kno anything gem it's a big crossover like witchblade darkness and all those characters seems interesting

[@moyerr]

Bro you could finish Velvet in an afternoon, you gotta read that. Might be my favorite Brubaker series

[@tanyadenniskammerzell]

Seeing that you have the dark tower omnibuses , i recommend The Stand by Stephen King omnibus which is like the same kind of edition, omnibus and companion

[@brett5569]

I hope they continue with the amazing spider omnibuses. A vol 4 would be nice.

[@jmjcinematics]

Sweet Christmas G !

[@RumRayven]

You ever wonder just how much everything (including the statutes) in that room would amount to in a total price?

[@GemMintCollectibles]

sometimes i ballpark it

[@directone1601]

Not to many man lofts have libraries, looks great be cool to have a book store in your house.

[@ShadyDBZ4]

YO 💎, When are you releasing the highly anticipated Fresh Prince DVD Boxset unboxing video? We starving for that joint.

[@GemMintCollectibles]

we should do a watch-a-long

[@ShadyDBZ4]

Gem Mint Collectibles See, now you going too far. Lol! Now if you said a Martin watch along I’m all in! Marty Mar love da kids.

[@Phakaday]

Great collection bro!!! Wished I was your neighbor so I wouldn't have to buy a single book every again. I could just come over and read your collection:P Absolute Authority must read. It was awesome when the series was being released monthly back in the late 90s early 00s. Felt like other companies copied the style of Wildstorm after Ellis/Millar run on Stormwatch/Authority. Wished Jim Lee never sold Wildstorm:( Looks like your going to need a bigger room soon.

[@ZeroChaos76]

Yup, still jealous x). That's a great collection man!

[@iamthomasjudge]

Awesome video, totally blows my collection away but so inspiring! Hey GEM, quick question: did you know they released Sin City in an Absolute-format? It's hard to track down, but I just put up a video on my channel about it...

[@GemMintCollectibles]

i did not know that

[@el_danimal5028]

Great Look into the gem lib. Picking up that world war hulk

[@brianlujan1]

What kind of book shelves do you have

[@edgard.9640]

Now this is dedication! Lol So you never got into the old school Tomb Raider comics? They have four HC books on IST called the Tomb Raider "Archives" I never grew up on TR but I'm interested in the story so I may pick those up. Also, hope there is room for that Power Rangers Year Two edition coming later this year.

[@GemMintCollectibles]

na never got the tomb raider stuff.

[@andreas_nrdc_1470]

Best collection on the world!

[@heatherr.7460]

Have you read American Vampire and is there an omnibus?

[@GemMintCollectibles]

i have not and i dont think there is an omni

[@stevel7948]

The first omni will be release in october.

[@hollabackgod]

Yo Gem, INVICIBLE has a limited complete Compendium hardcover omnibus, but its only through image Skybound's website.

[@austincaldwell8358]

A few recommendations to add to your collection. The Sixth Gun Dlx Editions, they are slighter larger than absolutes. Revival, series is done and all deluxes are out Luther Strode Complete Edition Vison by Tom King Dlx Edition Alex + Ada Deluxe Edition, really good Luna brother book Swamp Thing by Snyder Dlx Green Arrow by Lemire Dlx

[@GemMintCollectibles]

i actually do have those Sixth Gun...theyre on the floor. Don't have those others though.

[@MacCollections]

Now that's one proper library!

[@wllm666_]

damn thats an amazing collection!

[@ajknight8215]

I’m trying to have something like this one day I got my first book shelf yesterday it’s a small one but it’s a start 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@sen.skyburn7859]

Damn bro... and I thought I was a big shot for having ONE of the absolute authority volumes lol

[@matthewward1509]

that intro is crisp af

[@joshualong6900]

How do you afford all of these brother???

[@robertparker3489]

Are these custom build bookcases ?

[@GemMintCollectibles]

no ikea kallax

[@AgnusDeiSoldier]

Wouldn’t know where to start in there dammmmm 💎💪💍

[@Skrullcomics]

Very nice!

[@brucematos4035]

Wonderful

[@hollabackgod]

so youre not going to get the DC Rebirth Deluxe Editions?

[@GemMintCollectibles]

no... ill wait for omnibus and absolutes

[@toycartel.]

can you please review gi joe vs transformers.

[@rolan5948]

Why haven’t DC made absolutes of Snyders monumental Batman run yet? At this point I don’t think they’ll even do it but it really doesn’t make senses as to why they’d not. It was probably the most popular new 52 run (sigh)

[@GemMintCollectibles]

makes no sense...

[@GSPRKY]

TMG 365’z the dc new 52 books are finally coming to Omnibus format so the first Batman new 52 Omnibus will probably be announced in 2019. Scott Snyder wrote American vampire & it’s Omnibus comes out in 11/2018. So it seems like they’re coming soon.

[@0091992]

Yo, V for Vendetta is an amazing movie.

[@rmgtza]

Have you read BONE?

[@GemMintCollectibles]

no, not yet.

[@Henry-kz4gn]

At the rate you buy stuff you should make one of these two three times a year at least.

[@heatherr.7460]

If you sell the Batman absolutes let me know.

[@alexbonta4005]

AmazinG !!!!

[@bests88]

Hi Gem, really interested in ABSOLUTE DARK VICTORY. Please consider me when you decide to sell it. Cheers

[@Vaderzero]

Well..... thats fucking awesome!

[@alexdan4ev375]

transformers by IDW is really good,not everything is great,but really solid non the less

[@godson305]

Solid

[@jakenap7184]

And make Manimal read Animal Man so he can see that Morrison is the GOAT

[@rolan5948]

False! Alan Moore is the GOAT!

[@jakenap7184]

The TMG Specialist bro I love Alan Moore but Morrison’s my guy.

[@unrulysimian3897]

The next time my wife complains about the $ I spend/how much space my collection takes up - I'm gonna show her this and say, "Really? You think it's bad now? Just wait."

[@UNIVERSatile1]

💎🍃

[@josephdubois1385]

Hoooooooo... okay The F*** do you mean you haven’t read 52? You’ve read infinite crisis! 52 is probably the single greatest run to come out of dc comics. What the hell are you doing? Okay, yes, you should read, Irredemable, deadly class, batman by grant morrison, hawkeye and sweet tooth. And for the love of god, you do need to read scalped. You should try reading starman too, it’s a classic. I would really recommend giving GJ flash another try. It is definetly the best modern flash run. Try reading JSA too. It is one great great run. I’d say the same for gotham central. Probably one of my absolute favorite batman things ever. Read the runaways. You haven’t read the ultimates? Seriously? Read that too. Really great more modern “realistic” look at the avengers in a more 21st century world that I really love. And about hawkeye, that is one abslutely excellent and fantastic series. You could probably power through it in a day, cause it definetly is that good. Really funny, really full of life, and it really is a great use of the comic medium. One of MY favorite things ever. Invisibles is always great with acid. As for fantastic four, really all those thing in there except for the fraction omnibus is all top notch stuff. I would definetly recommend reading the Waid omnibus when it comes out. The Lee, Byrne, Waid and yes, Hickman runs are really all great, fantastic, top tear marvel runs. Fourth World. You haven’t read fourth world? But that’s like another one of the best DC things ever! Really cool, really interesting, really explosive and vibrant and beautiful and epic, holy f*** I love the Fourth World Saga. If your looking for something light, easy, modern but epic and cool, Read Stracymski thor. I read it, I loved it. Cool, fantasy stuff. Great, short, fun read. Fair warning it cuts off a little abrubtely. If you want something REALLY big and epic, read Walter Simonson Thor. It’s a much longer, much more epic and excellent story. It’s really creative, it’s a lot more rewarding, and it’s vibrant. Another one of the absolute best marvel runs. Shame you haven’t read Busiek avengers. Probably the definitive avengers run. Very fantastic stuff. Lits of the best avengers stories and it’s another favorite. East of west is one of the best indie series ever it’s a shame you haven’t read it. It’s in an alternate, barren future of an earth with alternate history about the coming of the apocalypse. So great, so badass. Probably my favorite Indie series ever. And finally, azzarelo new 52 wonder woman. This is a really great, really fun and vibrant run that almost feels like an indie series to be honest. It’s a really different takes on wonder woman, and it uses a lot more of her greek mythology side to introduce a lot of weird takes on greek characters. Soo F-ing good. F-you bat worshippers, THIS is the best new 52 series. So that’s my essay, but in all seriousness, do take those recommendations into concideration. And for the love of god, read scalped.

[@GemMintCollectibles]

haha thanks for the breakdown...i feel like the Hawkeye and Strasynski Thor would be one day reads.

[@josephdubois1385]

Oh no, for sure. I would definetly hawkeye is the far better comic though, just cause of how original it is. Definetly one of the best things sitting on your shelf.

[@madman1180]

I agree Gem, you should definitely read The Ultimates by Millar and Hitch, great read and is my first omnibus. After I read the TPB I pre ordered the Ultimates omnibus, this was years ago, back in 2009. Read Scalped, once you read it you'll be hooked. Then read Southern Bastards, it's a shot of adrenaline, it's great. Well anything Jason Aaron writes is gold. You got a massive library. Take your time in reading your omnibus's. The only problem is their isn't enough time through out the day.

[@jrox1904]

Gem put youre foot down Never show weakness or they will re-sell you the same material them sneaky bastards

[@GemMintCollectibles]

trying bro

[@stephanberger3476]

Too bad you haven't read so much of 'em.

[@undisputedboyka12]

No absolute authority?

[@GemMintCollectibles]

[@fredandmikethedogs7992]

I love bookshelf porn ... yes, i really really do

[@GemMintCollectibles]

[@atlas_wolf7292]

G.I. Joe 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@KingConan]

Glad I'm not the only one that hated Elektra! Man that book was horrible and confusing. Couldn't help buying it to go with all that Daredevil stuff.

[@GemMintCollectibles]

hated it

[@aarjunasrin6262]

YOU SHOULD BUY SOME NEW COMICS

[@meatandpotao]

🙀

[@jeremyg371]

Nice, check out my new videos if you can. If not you know I'm cool with that. Have a great day G-Man.
