I Just Made a HUGE COMMITMENT! | DC Legends of Batman Graphic Novels | Fanhome Unboxing

[@DumDumDugan1911]

Wait…. Isn’t 136 books at 3 books a month gonna take about 4 years to complete, right?

[@comicsaredope]

@@DumDumDugan1911 yep. My mental math was terrible. Somehow the 48 turned to 18 in my head, and I kept repeating it lol

[@DumDumDugan1911]

@@comicsaredope Haha no worries man. Happens all the time. Enjoy those books!!

[@The824wiparker]

Yep. I also did the math on the total cost… winds up being $2870 before taxes over the 4 years. It’s a lot of books but still, hefty commitment. Much respect to anyone in on this, too much for me though.

[@aaronrankin1092]

@@The824wiparkerthe math in my head come to buying one Omni a month in cost. So if you already buy Omnis every month it’s not that bad at all. But for the overage small time collector it’s a hefty commitment for sure. I only really collect indies and read the big two online for I’ll just use my big two budget for these and just pick up The Batman Who Lifts

[@turtleanton6539]

Easy.

[@AndrewSunada]

Yooo! Thanks for calling this out! This is such an awesome idea and absolutely designed for me. I'll probably be subscribing.

[@comicsaredope]

I'm gonna have to buy a new shelf to display these on, but I'm ready lol

[@Beemcgee300]

I subscribed to this series too. I got my first book last week. Luckily I’m only double dipping on new 52. But the spine was definitely the selling point.

[@comicsaredope]

oh just new 52 isn't bad at all!

[@luiscreatingart8239]

Thanks for covering this. This Fanhome popped up in my feed and I want to buy but hesitant. Might have to make the commitment! 😂 please keep covering, I am interested to see what’s printed in this collection.

[@comicsaredope]

I’ll definitely keep covering

[@TheComicBookReport]

This subscription fascinated me. Excited to see what happens for you here 🦇🦇🦇

[@jadecasssie]

You are officially the king of double dipping lol this is really cool though I'm excited for you!

[@comicsaredope]

give me my crown! lol

[@planthill954]

unrelated but dude i am so hoping you make more t-shirts similar to the static one you did. it was so high quality with an amazing design, i hope you do more stuff like it. one of my favorite shirts i own. i'll always support!

[@comicsaredope]

copyright issues make it hard for stuff like that to happen, but I hope to design more merch soon

[@artwithmichael5547]

I bought the Transformers collection. 100 books with a single spine image covering over 30 years of stuff. These collections aren’t for everyone but they are generally good quality and a steady flow collection.

[@comicsaredope]

I love how digestible they are. if you read them as they come in, it's not as overwhelming as a big omnibus

[@thepartworkscomicsreader9488]

True but falling behind on the reading can mean you need to sprint at times. I've had a six month deficit in the 2000AD before that needed catching up on, recently read about a year's worth of the current Hachette DC in the space of a couple of months to get caught up. The Star Trek I really need to be in the mood for so those I went ahead and shelved the unread stuff which I normally avoid doing. Probably about half of the 150 books there still to circle back to. Might bump those up to my commute reading once the stack of Epics is a bit lower.

[@TheChris-lw8eo]

I think it’d be fun if you made it a series where you review, not just overview, each book that comes in. It’d be Kick’s review of the entire Batman mythology which would be fun. Also digestible due to the monthly format. You could do it once a week.

[@comicsaredope]

Thanks for this. I’m a Batman fan. I will probably get this

[@anthonysalinas6195]

I just got my first order in the mail today and i have to say im impressed already. I think im going to upgrade to get the premium subscription since i don't have any batman comics except for like the killing joke, a death in the family and like 1 or 2 others

[@jessechurch71]

I’m doing exactly what you are doing, subscribing to this just to have the set of those spines. I have about 90% of everything they are advertising for the set, but I’m a sucker for Batman I’ll double dip. It’ll look awesome on a shelf!

[@comicsaredope]

Team Double Dip unite! lol

[@tenadefiant]

Fanhome just showed up on my KZbin yesterday and I was instantly intrigued because I have almost all the Batman movies, and especially all the DC movies from the New 52. I love that the novels make one big picture, but I'm like.... Do I really want to commit to this collection? But you've sold me 😭😂. New subbie🧡

[@comicsaredope]

haha thanks for the sub!! I do want to clarify, the collection will take about 4 years to get through. I kept saying 18 months when I meant 48. But I'm 2 months in and still enjoying it. Hope you like it!

[@aaronrankin1092]

I saw an add for this on facebook a few weeks back and decided to give it a shot. Judging by the first volume it’s seems like it’s going to be epic! I signed up for the Premium plan. In the comic book world there is Batman and then there is everyone else.

[@comicsaredope]

facts. Batman has always been my favorite. I chose the premium plan because I have always stayed away from the golden/silver age omnis. The completist in me won't let me pick and choose between them, and there are WAY too many. This is a nice 'greatest hits' style collection

[@thepartworkscomicsreader9488]

In terms of being a conversation piece I have spine art going across 10 different comics based partworks and a 100 prose novel set, my library always grabs people's attention the first time they visit the house.

[@ThechunkyShogun]

I paid for the subscription yesterday 4 years is a really long time but i think its well worth it. This will be my first time collecting comics so i can't wait personally

[@Panther12980]

My first time too, bro! I couldn’t resist this…🤷🏾‍♂️👍🏾🦇

[@CristianRodriguez-ds5kj]

I am very familiar with all of the stories/books in the subscription but I don’t have any physical collection aside from a few minor key issues so this is great for somoen trying to get into collecting. Those connecting spines make it all the more worth it.. once the Batman books are done I hope they dip their toes into the overall DC graphic novels since eaglemoss did do some of those with the Jl and legion of doom as a cinematic connecting spine

[@dannytorrence9424]

You got me. Started video saying not going to do it. Finished with subscribing. So excited, thank you. Cannot help it. Bats is my number one. Always. This is awesome.

[@comicsaredope]

haha glad I could be of service!

[@justthinkingz8581]

I just signed up for it, I’m a huge fan of batman and just the DC universe in general. So it would be nice to have a whole collection in my room that is solely about batman.

[@Shoobadon52]

Hey man thats really cool, sounds like fun. I love batman but I just dont have the space to collect unfortunately. But if you made this a series I would love to watch it and live vicariously through your journey. +Subbing.

[@comicsaredope]

[@HarleyJones-l6d]

I subscribed to this as a gift for my son. He got a presidential scholarship to college, so the cost of this collection is a drop in the bucket compared to that. Here's the breakdown with the premium add-on: 144 books $3067.15 grand total (This includes everything listed below.) 48 months Average cost per book: $21.30 Average cost per month: $63.90 Shipping is $2.40 per volume (not per package). If you pay with PayPal, they throw in an additional book of cover art, for free. Most books are $17.99. (This is a panorama spine of 120 books.) There are 16 oversized books for $25.99 each. (This is a second panorama spine.) The premium is 8 books. (This is a third panorama spine.) The cost of these is $1.50 per volume starting with the third package, or $1.50 x 133 = $199.50. If you don't like that cost, don't do the add-on. And they throw in some special gifts as well. Honestly, this is a pretty good deal.

[@brandonbaerga4972]

I just wished we were able to choose which books cause I have some of these books in omnibus format

[@thesystem4025]

Decided to subscribe to this too, hopefully it’s worth it

[@Comicplug]

PLEASE do follow up videos. I’m really interested in this subscription, but haven’t pulled the trigger.

[@comicsaredope]

I'll do my best!

[@salvatoreocello]

ITS NICE LOOKING 🎉

[@giantsizegeek]

I am definitely tempted, appreciate this video! I would like to have seen the interior of the book to see if the reproduction is quality. Also it makes sense in a way to go from Zero Year to Year 100, but it kind of breaks up the Snyder/Capullo run. Wouldn’t it have been better to keep the creator runs sequential?

[@comicsaredope]

when I read the promo, it sounds like they're just trying to make it so that every package is interesting and keeps you excited about reading. I guess too much of one creator at a time could put you in a lull.

[@FreakyFraser1]

Solid line of books. In Canada, one of our dollar chains got the books after Eaglemoss went under and was selling them for $5 (CDN)........over the 2 lines I have @ 250 books.

[@comicsaredope]

that's insane. and now I wish I was in Canada lol

[@siriactuallysara]

You sold me on this

[@tommeeprofitt]

dude... I want to do this so bad... but I'm also thinking ahead... what do we do once NEW batman stories come out? and once we finally get the Tom King omnibus (someday!), and any other future batman runs? they won't match the set :/ ...curious your thoughts on this???

[@comicsaredope]

Yeah, I’m right there with you. This won’t be a replacement for my Batman Omnibus collection, and I’m going to keep buying new Batman Omnis as they come out -which is a terrible financial decision. Don’t be like me. But I’m still excited for the connecting spines, and to be able to quickly grab and read what basically amount to 136 of Batman’s “Greatest Hits” stories. The Fanhome books are likely what I would hand to a visitor like “here, try this story out”. Though they’d never be allowed to leave with it 🤣🤣🤣

I've been seriously considering this,I have the floppies and the eaglemoss never finished which makes me hesitant, not to mention fanhome didn't give the subscribers to eaglemoss the chance to get the last 16 but forced em to start from 1 again

[@comicsaredope]

apparently the Fanhome collection isn't a 1 for 1 reprint. it's slightly different so the volumes don't match.

[@thepartworkscomicsreader9488]

I've got the Eaglemoss version. We already know the exact make up of the Fanhome version is going to be a little different, Hush is shown in the promotional material as being across a couple of the regular books when that wasn't nin the Eaglemoss Batman havIng already been done in the earlier Eaglemoss DC set. The "specials" that were quarterly books in the Eaglemoss version also look to be a different selection. Out to work shortly but will message you on Instagram later with the contents of the Eaglemoss version as a loose, probably not exact, idea of what should be coming.

[@thesmugbear2663]

Would be a belter deal if it was 17.99 for each package but I can't afford 17.99 each book, I'm so sad ngl lol
