He-man and the Masters of the Universe Omnibus Overview!!

Today I do an overview of the newly released He-Man and the Masters of the Universe Omnibus. I really thought this book was lost in transit and why it took me this long to get my overview out. More importantly, is it worth the $150.00 retail price!

I almost bought this one I grew up with He-Man after school when I was young and I'm 49 now so I think I was like around sixteen or younger that and Spiderman. When kids weren't shooting up their high schools and cartoons were ok to watch. We had love boat and fantasy island and bionic man and magnum good shows. Yes, I'm drinking. Thx for the review and have a great weekend.

[@NearMintCondition]

Enjoy your drink and your weekend, good sir.

[@oskargainza7943]

Same here loved these old days thinking to save yo get It have a nice day

[@Bay6Print]

Comic Guy well, drinking or not, makes a lot of sense to me and I feel the same way, i’m 52 and can relate to your toughts, cheers man!!

[@joshread3740]

Great video, Omar. Quick correction, though: the binding is sewn. DC just uses a thicker amount of glue on these super thick bindings than they do on the

[@NearMintCondition]

Thank you so much for clarifying. I was reading it last night and noticed that it had some sewn binding. I'm going to give you credit on the updated description.

[@chrissharma4088]

Ive been binge watching the original he man and wanted to know more about the story..i think you just sold me on getting this omni!

[@josersreviews137]

Great Vid, LOVED the opening " I have the omnibusssss" LOL great stuff. now all we need are collected editions of the Image stuff and the short lived Marvel Star Comics series and we'll have EVERYTHING :)

[@NearMintCondition]

I knew I had to do that as soon as I hit my submit order button, brother. Just waited on this damn book for over a week and half. Yes! It'd be awesome to get that Image series.

[@1330timbuktu]

Im getting mine tomorrow! I am so excited to add this to my collection.

[@danielchrysalis6554]

I must say this is one i never thought I’d pick up, but after seeing some of the art, it’s now on the list.

[@trollsmonster9077]

I kept seeing you praise this and like most grew up with heman cartoon and toys flash back to today and was on Netflix and hit play something ended up being the first episode of the show and inspired me to grab the omnibus can't wait to start reading :)

[@dom020876]

Great video as always Omar. The book looks incredible. So many awesome characters in this book especially the Thundercats and She-Ra. The art is just gorgeous. I've already ordered this today as part of a monster 60 book haul. Can't wait for it to be delivered. Only book I couldn't find for my haul was Nightwing Year one (I refuse to pay £120 for a tpb). Keep those awesome vids coming.

[@NearMintCondition]

Dom, 60 books!!!!? Now, you are talking my language, my man. I will keep making videos as long as people watch. :)

[@SnakeNel]

Omar, thanks for this! I just missed Masters being part of my childhood, so I had no nostalgia attachment to this series. However, there were several great writers and artists involved with the series, so I was interested. Your review convinced me to get this book when it is a slow week for releases.

[@NearMintCondition]

Thank you so much for giving it a shot. I think you will enjoy it considering the amount of talent that went into this book and the fact that you don't have to have a knowledge of who the characters are.

[@colin6612]

I've been on a MOTU kick at the moment. Glad you did an overview on this book. Definitely picking it up now.

[@NearMintCondition]

Its soooo good.

[@milocibelli5391]

I've never been into He-Man but you convinced me that I need this. Such a beautiful book, but looks pretty expensive.

[@NearMintCondition]

It is, but the page count is huuuuuge.

[@ElBlogiante]

At fist i confused the video with one about the Book with all mini comics, glad i watched. NOW I NEED TO GET THIS!

[@NearMintCondition]

El Blogiante oh yeah! This book is awesome. Not that the Dark Horse Book with the mini comic collections isn’t.

[@bradparsons6419]

Just coming into the comic hobby. Bought this omnibus, I got a good price for it. I'm really looking forward to reading it. Thanks for all the reviews that you do, and for all of your top 10 lists. Those are very helpful to new people into the hobby

[@NearMintCondition]

Thank you so much for watching and the kind words.

[@colossalsunny4653]

Fantastic Omni Omar. Grew up on He-Man and Superman. Still have all the single issues and that dvd box set. Picked up a few of the classic collector figures, but chose not to go down that rabbit hole. I'm kinda bummed I can't make it to Power-Con, would love to experience it at least one time.

[@NearMintCondition]

Those figures are a rabbit hole, I can't go down either. :)

I just picked this up on amazon for $70! It was on sale already plus $30 coupon

Hey Omar can you do a reading order of THE Avengers in Hardcovers, trade paperbacks , epic collections, omnibus, When Avengers vol 4 omnibus comes out that day

[@NearMintCondition]

Already planned on that one brother. I think that's the one I was going to do in March or Birds of Prey.

That wraparound art on the hardcover is by the amazing Dave Wilkins!

[@NearMintCondition]

It is absolutely stunning.

[@fantasticmatic956]

I might get this, or try to track down the 3 last trades I need. I ve really enjoy reading them, but like u said in the video, I want to read the image comics, has ive got two of the comics image to find and there is another company who came out with comic. Hopefully with the new omnibus image will release there version.

[@NearMintCondition]

I'm hoping that someone with the license does. I need to go and find the Injustice Vs. Master of the Universe comic.

[@comicbookcrazy]

I nominate Omar for the hardest working man on KZbin. There have been a plethora of treats for us this week! In other news, once again Omar has convinced me to open my wallet. The bastich! #OmarRules

Man you flipping 10 pages of this alone made me want to purchase this. Im buying now!

[@NearMintCondition]

It's awesome.

I'm not sure you have talked me into buying it, but you have got my attention on the comics. Maybe i will buy a paperback, and if i like it, i go big!

It's a great read. :) I couldn't put it down.

[@danygarnyfrias79]

Really hope they bring this one back

[@NearMintCondition]

Me too.

[@jeffmccann6608]

Hi Omar I am thinking of picking this up. I am new to He-Man but I have heard that the omnibus is really good even for non He-Man fans. It seems you are a fan and really enjoyed the omnibus. Hope you had a great Saturday Jeff

[@NearMintCondition]

Hey Jeff, I love this book. Even if you aren't familiar with the characters its a reimaging of Eternia.

[@jeffmccann6608]

Hi Omar Thanks Jeff

[@newyorkdominicanking]

I'm thinking about it because I own the first 3 graphic novels and want to finish the set. I also have all 15 issues of Eternity war, thundercats and DC UNIVERSE cross overs and injustice but books 4 &5 are ridiculously overpriced everywhere and if this Omnibus has it all... I would trade it all in. I found it on discount and I just realized this video is a couple of years old so... if i can confirm that all... Im buying it.

[@thebryceisright5601]

Could a total MOTU newb enjoy this? I’m a fan of Conan for sure, and was thinking of checking out the 2002 series. I want to get into the franchise, but I’m unsure of where to jump in.

[@ShiftyShifts]

Finally ordered this tonight Bromar!

[@NearMintCondition]

My man!

[@energoncubes9876]

Hi Omar, I noticed the new MOTU printing is slimmer (same ISBN) both printed in Canada. 1500 page count. The thickness is the same as the War of the Realms omnibus. My question to you is which one would you keep if you had the option of returning the other? Thanks

[@NearMintCondition]

I really like the eye on this one.

[@Imallover]

Thanks, man. You sold me.

[@NearMintCondition]

Glad I could help!

[@cheeseburger12]

I thought the DC series got off to a terrible start, not nearly as good as the 200x series by MVC. But it improved a lot when Dan Abnett started writing it. And the ending including the Skeletor vs Hordak was great! The King Hiss twist was inspired.

[@NearMintCondition]

I was hoping they were going to include the Injustice story, but this book was a beast already.

[@cheeseburger12]

@@NearMintCondition I did like the Injustice story. Lobo vs He-man was a pleasant surprise!

[@hugomcardoso]

Well, I might jump on this. thank you, Omar... you own my wallet 😂🤣

[@TheCryptoKeeper]

ohhhhhh... i was hoping for old style comics. i dont like the new looking comics. thanks for the review. ahhh i see you mentioned they only made three old ones. and i already have the mini comic collection. you just saved me a bunch of money. thanks

[@blacksweettee]

Did I see a Thunder Cat in that book? I didn't know they were apart of the same world. I grew up watching the cartoons (I am old). I just thought the creators of the cartoon was copying each other. This video was very interesting.

[@NearMintCondition]

Yep, there was a six issue mini series called He-man Vs. Thundercats. It's just gorgeous to look at. Hey wait, I grew up watching those cartoons too, that doesn't make us old, just experienced. You remember Silverhawks? That was Thundercats in space! :)

[@blacksweettee]

@@NearMintCondition Yes! So true, experienced, not old. It's like well season, not stale. Lol! 👍🏾

[@NearMintCondition]

That's right!

[@fundermation]

totally not my thing, know nothing about he man, but im tempted to get this, looks amazing

[@NearMintCondition]

It is nothing like the cartoon.

[@kikko]

Omar! I got super lucky and found this tonight at Half Price for $75! After my 10% teacher discount it became $67 something! Quick question: I wanna buy the mini comic collection too. Those stories are all unique and different from any in this set right?

[@JB-ou6fl]

The stories on the mini comic collection are different. They were the ones included with the vintage toys. The closest the mini comic stories will get to this omnibus will be the classic material from 1982 that are included towards the end of this omnibus.

[@jacobtizano3855]

Hey Omar I wanted to read sin city but all they have right now for a reasonable price is the TP do u know of any better editions coming out like maybe a library edition or reprinted omnibus??

[@NearMintCondition]

Jacob Tizano right now the Omnibus is the best way. It’s huuuge and out of print. But you can still find it from time to time for cover price online. The Library Editions are long gone and have been OOP for over 7 years. I’m hoping DH reprints at least the Omnibus so people can read it.

[@lloydwong7852]

I need to look up the phrase "I like them big" in my Sexual Innuendo Handbook! Your overviews do me in because you find a way to make a book I normally would not be interested in, something I want to pick up. The $150.00 retail is $200.00 retail in Canada and that is an instant turn off for me. The size is the other issue I have. I'm still in the middle of the Supersons Omni and 3/4 through Seven Soldiers. Needless to say speed is not my strong suit when it comes to reading. So picking up an omni that size that I may never finish and would further put me behind on other reading. You see my problem. that is why I like OHC's because I can get through 12 issues in a decent amount of time I feel. but 1500 page omni's I think half way through I'd be bored. But if somebody told me they would pay me to read Omni's full time and they would cover the costs of purchasing them for me I'd be all over that! That would be a dream job!

[@NearMintCondition]

Dream job indeed!

[@newspooiechannel]

By chance, how's the spine holding up on this one?

[@andrewstephen30]

Busy reading it now and loving it. Just wanted to find out, are your pages also "wavey", like not completely flat but they get flatter towards the center of the book? None of my Marvel Omni's have this.

[@NearMintCondition]

The only ones I can think of that have this wavey pages were the ones Marvel did a trial run on like Infinity OHC. I think it was the humidity that made it worst.

[@andrewstephen30]

Would you believe i never heard of this book? I knew the 80’s cartoon (liked it at the time), but not these great looking comics. Book looks truly awesome, but 2 volumes might have been better. In my opinion it’s to heavy and thick. Oh well, it goes to the wishlist! 👌🏻

[@NearMintCondition]

IT is huge. But so damn good. Lots of childhood characters reimagined.

[@JessopVTS]

Where would i fit the injustice vs he-man in/around this omnibus? or just a completely separate read post-omnibus read ?

Ha! Knew you would do the video anyways. Good for you! Did you watch the She-Ra series Netflix made? It's pretty good. The end was terrible but the character development was on par with Avatar the Last Airbender.

[@NearMintCondition]

Watched it with my little girls. They liked it more than I did, but it was still fun.

[@DevilMaster]

Does it include the less known chapters of the MOTU lore? New Adventures? Dare, son of He-Man?

[@NearMintCondition]

It includes all the new He-man stories and the one shots. Not New Adventures. Or the Devil's Due run.

[@Jusnzl]

If people don't feel like wading through the original 1980's cartoon, the 2002 version is still a really good update despite being fairly 'old' now itself, and (tragically) only 39 episodes. Be a good primer before diving into these, if you only had a passing knowledge of the He-Man universe.

[@NearMintCondition]

Loved that 2002 version, and those damn four horsemen figures were lit!

[@dddPetey]

not sure if this has been address but you said this omnibus is only glued biding but at 2:08 in the time Frame you can see the addition of the threading
