Brubaker brought the same magic he put into Captain America into this run of Iron Fist. This is easily the definitive modern run of Iron Fist and builds that world out so amazingly. The rich history of the IF mantle and all the previous fists that came before Danny could easily be a whole series of their own. Hopefully someday we’ll see more of those stories fleshed out. I’m going with the standard cover for this day one purchase.

[@trishb.6398]

They added the I am An Avenger story? I remember when you asked if they could. That is so freaking awesome. Makes this book perfect.

[@michaelemond7315]

David Aja art is pure perfection. For me, it was love at first sight.

[@vincentimbesi3947]

I missed out on the original Omnibus, so I’m so excited to get this new expanded version!

[@ericgarza5533]

one of my favorite runs. i have the original omnibus release, the complete collections, and will be triple dipping with this omnibus as well 😂

[@trishb.6398]

A man of good taste! Thank you for your wonderful company too Eric.

[@ericgarza5533]

[@benniemartin78]

Mine’s out for delivery today! This was an instant pre-order for me and I’m looking forward to reading these stories for the first time in a long time

[@SirOmar23]

I have the original omnibus released in 2009, but I'm getting this expanded version as well. Both covers, too! Haha! I'm a huge Iron Fist fan, and we don't get many Iron Fist books, much less omnibuses. I love this run so much. I've read it about 3x and I plan on reading it again. Thanks for the preview, Uncanny Omar! Immortal Omar is very happy!👊

[@goosey235]

Mine's on order (#1 cover) - one of my favorite superhero series of the last 20 years or so - can't wait to get into it again!

[@JoeArnold333]

Going into this one completely blind, I was going to buy the 1st printing a while ago but when they announced this and I seen it was expanded on I was glad I waited. I’ve only ever seen the Iron Fist show and have never read anything of the character before so I’m pretty excited for this to be in my collection!

[@varsas]

I loved the first couple of trades but didn't read any more so I'm really looking forward to seeing the rest of the story!

[@eVeNmOrEiNsAnItY]

Absolutely beautiful! I would've preferred the #6 cover used in the Complete Collection paperback, or the Immortal Weapons Aja trade cover, but that's essentially the only nitpick I have. Best Iron Fist run, one of the best comics of its decade, well collected, it's like a dream.

[@patg.8448]

Thanks Omar! I love how much care and intentional Marvel has been with the mapping in these Omnibus. It makes me look forward to seeing what they do with future omnibus if this will be the standard going forward.

[@Ernasto]

Great overview video. I was waiting for this one a long time. Very happy they have chosen to expand the omnibus, making it more a real omnibus.. The existing one is thin..

[@KGBookkeeping]

Really excited to crack this one open! Really pumped that they expanded this; gunna be a goood read

[@just23bulls]

FOMO told me not to watch this and I did anyway. 😅 Maybe when the funds are right. :) Great vid as always!

[@marcelo-ramos]

Thank you for the spoiler warning about other titles. So often I read a book that ruins some plot thread from another book. It's really frustrating!

[@robertday4390]

Ouch! My head hurts after all that mapping explanation! But it’s Iron Fist and I am down for adding this omni to the previously released book. And it’s a Donnelly! Can’t wait for my copy to land. Thanks Omar! 🐉🔥👊

[@HipHopHappens]

Love this story. I'm copy and pasting a comment by Omar Josef Guerrero from the announcement of Iron Fist Early Years Omnibus, to bring some missing issues to your attention before it's too late. "If there's still time, please add Marvel Team-Up #31, Marvel Two-In-One #25, and Deadly Hands of Kung Fu King-Size Annual #1 as all three stories are part of Danny's early years in the Marvel Universe. The team up with Shang-Chi is especially important as it's part of the Search for Colleen Wing storyline that runs through Marvel Premiere #25 and Iron Fist #1-7." Can't skip the first meeting of Mr. Rand and Mr. Parker!

[@SirOmar23]

Thank you for backing me up!👊

[@NearMintCondition]

Email goes out tomorrow… so we’ll see

[@HipHopHappens]

thanks bub

[@SirOmar23]

@Near Mint Condition awesome! Hope they get it done!👊

[@arthurwoo6082]

Oh man this looks great so excited to pick this up! Never read all of the DS and IW stuff and thrilled they included it with the EB/MF stuff which is the only stuff I read. So glad i decided to wait on this thanks again for another awesome review!

[@angelmarquez2525]

Wow

[@johnnieriot13]

Been waiting for this for a long time. Great review

[@mattrepeatcollector173]

One of the greatest stories in modern comics .

[@reirken]

I'm so excited for this! I need my pre-order to ship already!

[@terrencecoccoli524]

Only Omar can convince me to get an Omni for a character that I really have no affinity for. But I do love quality storytelling, And it seems like this Omni has it. Thanks dude!

[@KillerTacos54]

I miss David Aja

[@bunkmastab]

I was buying this run in singles back in the day and really liked it. Never got a chance to finish the run, so I'm really excited to be able to check out the whole story with this omni

[@shengcer]

Just started to read this book. Man it is so well written ... books like this remind me of why I love comics.

[@Spawnzrkr]

I just finished this Omni. I gotta say it was really awesome! Orson looks really cool with his guns. I enjoyed the mapping to this book! It was a super fun read. Highly recommended. I’m reading Savage Avengers next.

[@kurumais]

oh im ordering mine tommorow

[@siriactuallysara]

This is pretty awesome like mortal kombat.

[@siniquezu]

That would make Danny Rand the equivalent of Johnny Cage

[@Rockies007]

Super siked to pick this up

[@GrantLairdJr88]

Cool beans. I happened to have two The Immortal Iron Fist complete collection TP books. I assume it's the same as this omnibus?

[@Chap711]

Been waiting almost 4 years

[@AlexA-jn5ro]

Can I skip the Civil War issue in order to avoid Daredevil spoilers? And will the rest of the book still make sense?

[@dacollector4452]

What cover do I get 🤔

[@jjm6187]

Does this give an origin story for Ironfist, even if brief?

[@NearMintCondition]

It does and the legacy of IF

[@clsrocks007]

Bride of nine spiders has blessed this book

[@TheComicBookReport]

My wallet..

[@FallenHeroEM1]

Is it worth it if you have the original release already?

[@trishb.6398]

Absolutely it is.

[@TrillyThough]

Easily yes, they expanded this edition in every sense of the term. Duane's run doesn't hit the same highs as Brubaker/Fraction, but it stands alone as a very good series on its own.

[@FallenHeroEM1]

Cool thanks guys. I was on the fence.

[@JClif]

Is The Immortal Weapons collected anywhere else? I purchased original omnibus years ago and wanted to just get the extra material. I really did not want to purchase this just to get a few more issues.

[@jocool7370]

Bub, try Beowulf with Aja's art.

[@NearMintCondition]

Melanie loves that GN!

[@mitchschroeder1151]

It’s too bad they added the extra stuff for this printing. Sometimes less is more. This book just doesn’t end well and would have been much better as a straight reprint. I’ll pass on this and wait for a Modern Epic Collection. Or maybe some people will dump the first printing at a low cost now that this “more complete” version is out.

[@psi-judgesanderson6983]

Hey Omar I'm loving all of these upcoming releases. However...... I can only afford one Omni this week. I need help deciding since I've read none of them..... Spider-verse spider-geddon? Guardians? Or Iron fist? Any help or guidance is always appreciated brother.

[@Vardimiss]

Dang Omar. I wasn't planning on picking this up. Then I watched your video. Maybe you should look into a career as a car salesman.

[@greenlantern1986]

I enjoyed Omar pointing out Daredevil and Danny Rand being different, yet Danny has suited up as Daredevil.

[@NearMintCondition]

Hahahaha after all the non-spoiler talk I did! Now I’m going to get murdered! Thanks Lantern of sector 2814! :)

[@robd1329]

I want some 70s Iron Fist already!

[@jocool7370]

"Out of obscurity" were very well chosen words 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@markzimmer5467]

Probably going to pass on this as the character has never done much for me. But excellent news that Marvel is starting to pay close attention to reading orders. Here's hoping that continues.

[@uday1328]

Bro can you gift me this book?

[@ReaperXC]

Omar and Minties: sell me on or stop me buying Wolverine omnibus 4. It's up this month for preorder so I need to decide whether it's worth having or not. Why do you like the content, why don't you? Thank you.

[@slop101]

I think the additions were superfluous and unnecessary.

[@NearMintCondition]

Where as I like em thicker than a snicker. So, to each their own. :)

[@slop101]

@@NearMintCondition sure, if it improves the overall package. But adding content "just to add content" can bring the entire package down if the added content isn't as good.

[@fortcastellan1730]

I would have loved a book about historical kung-fu adventurers with that art style....But just another modern story doesn't excite me nearly as much.

[@warrenweaver6664]

Hmmm 🤔 a pass for me only work I’ve read from Fraction is the Hawkeye one and that was a snoozer 😴 for me. So pass
