[@WangFuAdam]

Well I just bought another book because of you....I have spent thousands of dollars on books watching your channel

[@trishb.6398]

Omar I read this based on your recommendation last year. I LOVED IT. Buying this tonight!

[@VinegarAndSaltedFries]

Cannot wait mine comes Tuesday. Very excited, Haven’t read any Ice Cream Man yet but love Horror Comics.

[@smackroscoe]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts & for avoiding spoilers. A fantastic episode.

[@robbieduffy9998]

Got it on pre-order thanks to you..cant wait..!!!

[@yng.collecta2599]

So happy to have this on the way! Excellent overview as always 🍦🔥

[@rickray1202]

Easily the best Image ongoing title. I'm not going to upgrade from my single issues, but seeing this overview is definitely tempting me.

[@VinegarAndSaltedFries]

Monstress and Saga are both ongoing so I’m gunna take this as super high praise and it excites me very much.

[@mattwilliams3373]

Love the sundae edition. Got lucky that my brick and mortar had it on new comic day. Binding looks a little iffy on my first issue but besides that I’m very happy with it.

[@Michael-hu1qw]

Looks interesting. Makes me think of Junji Ito's work!

[@justinchristophertod]

I can't wait to get mine. Easily the best indy series of the last few years. I was blown away from issue 1 and it's been on my pull list since. I encourage anyone who is a fan or horror, or just good storytelling, to pick this up. There aren't enough comics that are single issue stories in this day and age but this is one of them.

[@Yoko.Kurama]

How long are the issues? Do they ever feel too short?

[@bertfechner417]

You've sold me on this. Getting it this weekend but I'll prolly save it for October to read.

[@stephentheshywarrior2759]

Really intrigued by this collection. Heard its one of the best current series. I love horror and when you said maybe he's a alien or werewolf I got IT vibes. Probably give this one a try.

[@mdb9920]

Mine came yesterday. Awesome book.

[@michaelmyers4943]

Love me some Ice Cream Man and I cant wait to sell off my TPBs so I can upgrade!

[@balkthor]

Seal of approval from NMC, CGS, and iFanboy. Instant buy.

[@TheComicBookReport]

Gorgeous collection, love to see a good horror anthology doing well 👏

[@BunnyGamer25252]

Love from 🇱🇰

[@_The_Worst_]

Looks like a pretty nice format...🤘🏼💯✔️

[@StegoKing]

Love the reviews by Omar!

[@maths1995]

Dcbs Var for this one is insane. Its Ice Cream man with the spider in his hand and unlike on just the bottom spot, he is occupying the whole front cover😮 It is glossy still. Its insane.🔥

[@stray__bullets]

This book has probably been one of the best titles on the rack for several years. I’ve been collecting it in single issues since #1 and it’s the only current comic I still pull. But it is existential horror. Everything else about it is superfluous window dressing and just there to facilitate the book having a title and a vehicle or reason to tell anthology stories. If you’re the kind of person that has a compulsion to find a reason or purpose or draw an overarching ongoing plot from something you’re reading, you’re going to be pulling at nothing and ultimately missing the point of this book. There is no rhyme or reason. Nothing is supposed to make sense in Ice Cream Man. Nothing matters. It’s what the book is trying to say. What it’s trying to make set in. Nothing matters. There’s no overarching narrative. There’s no eternal reward. All you have are the moments in the here and now. They can be missed. They can be wasted. They can be taken from you too soon. Each of these anthology stories is an exploration in existentialism. It’s about the horror, fear, and suffering all of us feel in varying doses throughout our life. Those little real life things you fear every day. A car accident. Cancer. Losing a loved one. Selfish indulgence. Missed or wasted opportunities. Divorce. Abuse. The downfall of humanity. The hopelessness of it all. It’s not a boogey man book. These things are all conveyed through exaggerated horrifying means, but they have such relatable resonance and impact. That’s what makes it one of the best. It’s not a fun read, but if you want something very fresh and very human, I implore you to read Ice Cream Man.

[@xXCigarXx]

Thank you for the mini review.

[@KGBookkeeping]

Cannot wait for me copy to arrive this week; looks absolutely great

[@jojo.photo3000]

I’m reading it digitally and I ran through the whole series up to now so fast. Lickety-split.

[@spencer_a_d_]

Just got mine today, finished it in a couple hours. One of the best out, such a beautiful and scary comic.

[@Carlos-xz3vi]

That’s one handsome looking book.

[@RobbyRSmith]

I only read the ICM №01 issue but I already know that this is potentially a next gen Sandman. As usual image makes beautiful deluxe editions so this deluxe edition + Firepower + Echolands are must haves

[@jaggernaut4424]

So excited to read this! Definitely one of the must haves of the year. Big Omni down the road?? For now, another scoop of heavenly hash please!! Thanks Omaaaarrr!!!

[@tapsilogic]

I wonder if they'll collect "Haha" in the second volume or as a separate deluxe edition? I remember reading somewhere that they're set in the same universe.

[@jirenthegoat9717]

Colors look really pop did not expect that when you said it is a horror book

[@evanperdue3006]

Although I love this series, I have all TPB up to current issues. I was not going to get this......but it does look pretty sweet. I to thought it was plain blue. Dig the shiny

[@nathanwalters4867]

Count me in. I gotta get that. Take care and peace everyone.

[@t19coles88]

Hands down one of the best series in rencent years.

[@dominikwroblewski3645]

i'm waiting for my SDCC unique variant version 🙂

[@NicolasCurcioWriter]

God I need this

[@RyanRoemer8624]

Impressive comic series

[@babyln1]

I bought ice cream man vol 1 just to try it out and I fell in love with it. Now I want to buy the rest, is this the one I would buy to have as many issues as possible?

[@NearMintCondition]

This is the one you want to have as many issues in it and the art in oversized format.

[@babyln1]

@@NearMintCondition thank you so much! Also one more question. I feel like you are the most qualified to answer this. I loved crossed, ice cream man, Locke & Key, nightmare country, and red room. I've ordered and am waiting for nailbiter vol 1&2. Can't get into the sandman(weird because I like nightmare country). Based on this, do you have any suggestions? I'm super picky and have trouble finding new books. 🤷

[@Jose-vv9cc]

I might be late on this but what's the best way to collect Icecream man? Not sure if/when a Book 2 would release

[@NearMintCondition]

Later this year.

[@Jose-vv9cc]

thank you!!@@NearMintCondition

[@robertday4390]

Great looking book, Image do quality OHC’s. I haven’t read any of this series, just wondering if there is mistreatment to animals, how disturbing would it be to pet lovers? I like horror books but that would be a deal breaker for me. Thanks Omar!

[@addisonhoward3773]

Hey, I love this series and definitely recommend it, but there is a fair amount of graphic animal (and person) death in it. So if that’s a no-go for you then probably not.

[@spitzkopflarry6155]

Is this as big as a IDW Hardcover ?

[@Erurk]

How many books will be?

[@NearMintCondition]

Not sure. It still ongoing.

[@amorbavian]

Who has watched the classic horror movie ICE CREAM MAN?
