Marvel, not to be outdone by DC, will have the title of biggest Omnibus for their "Avengers Vs X-Men Omnibus" for 1680 pages!

With 70 different illustrators, ranging from expert artist to 3 year old kids with crayons.

Already have this one on the way. Constantine is one of my favorite DC characters, and I just can’t resist the big Omnis that collect entire runs. This overview made me more excited for the book. Thanks for the thorough overview, Omar.

That will get its own omnibus it seems.

I got this on order. Can not wait to read it. I have been looking for something different to read. I think I will enjoy it. Thanks for the review without any major spoilers. This channel is my go to place for reviews.

Thank you for watching.

[@kal-el2129]

Great review Omar. I hope they make a companion omnibus to this one with stories like I vampire, Frankenstein and Demon knights for example. Also,the rebirth JLD deserves an omni one day.

[@NearMintCondition]

Ohh companion :) love that.

This book was delivered Saturday, it was great purchase, I love these stories read them on my nook e-reader, the art is so good has to get the omnibus.

[@robertday4390]

This is a nicely designed book from DC (I don’t say that often!) and the pages will probably sit ok with a good read thru. I’d probably pick this up if it wasn’t for the flood of books arriving in the next few weeks. Thanks Omar!

[@nathanwalters4867]

Thanks for the overview Omar! i don't think I can add this one to my collection due to budget and limited space. But...maybe someday haha. I like that they used thinner paper. I'm glad DC is going in that direction. This was a pretty cool run. I think the Lemire run was my favorite. Fawkes did a pretty good job too. I love the cover they went with. It's one of my favorite of all time. Ryan Sook is amazing! I think that was the cover to issue 9. Lemire's first issue. Take care and peace.

[@NearMintCondition]

Take care my brother.

Man I have a lot of mixed feelings with these thick books. Buuuuuuut I have only good feelings about them when I think about it’s much better releasing thick books than no books! Great vid and thanks for all you do! :D

[@balkthor]

Finally getting around to this one on my list. I’m enjoying the JLD parts, but they really didn’t have to reprint the entire Trinity War plus crossovers in this one like they did Justice League vol 1. Quick recap would’ve been fine. At least TW was a decent story though.

[@LoreLord-]

Never herd of this but wow looks great and ive been interested in deadman i know he recently got an omnibus and the duo neal adams and conway is fantastic but with no real series i have a hard time getting it seems like it would jump around alot is that true??

[@xanarxanar5681]

It has thinner paper so it is smaller, 2nd print of Blackest Night is also slimmer than the 1st print, same thing with Infinite crisis.

[@NearMintCondition]

Yes sir. I wonder if the third printing of IC will have the same paper.

[@rayanknezic8682]

Going to buy it, hoping they Make every hellblazer omnibus After that. So many good stories

[@Chester781]

Just bought this for 96 euros and im looking forward to reading this bad boy

[@germaholic]

Anyone but me feel that once an omnibus starts getting into the 1600-page range, they should probably break it up into two omnibuses? Of course I'm also someone who likes to read while lying on his back holding the book over my face, so probably not the best way to read omnibuses in general. As for gutter loss, I can understand some two-page spreads aren't always going to look completely perfect, but cutting off text can be a huge problem. Though the biggest problem I've had with that wasn't even an OHC, but the Wolverine Dying Game Epic Collection.

[@timthehandler]

My copy should be with me tomorrow. It's a bit book. The Blackest Night Omni was 1664 pages though.

[@timthehandler]

Oops. Should have watched the video first.

:) yes sir which makes AVX currently at 1680 the biggest.

Honestly the new 52 isn't that bad of a comic era, besides superman and the flash everything is fine. I don't understand the complaints at all lol

[@stephen8805]

I think people hated how many of their favourite characters were erased from history. The Titans, the Flash family, the JSA, the Legion of Superheroes.

[@brandon17760]

@@stephen8805 the old JSA wasn't in it, but there was still a JSA team in the new 52. But most complaints I see about it, is the stories are trash, and to me that's just not true. So much good stuff was made, animal man, swamp thing, Frankenstein, I vampire, and Justice league dark.

[@NearMintCondition]

I think there are some great books. And this reminds me of a video idea I had forgotten to do months ago.

Is it me or DC never really gave appropriate attention to magic based collected editions like classic Madame Xanadu or classic Phantom Stranger collection. I do remember black and white showcase of Phantom stranger but else not so much. Would be good to see some collection of old school Zatanna stories too, hopefully upcoming movies will force DC to publish more.

I remember you saying that the new hellblazer wasn’t your hellblazer in another video. When you say that do you feel that way about rebirth and new 52 era of Constantine or just new 52?

[@NearMintCondition]

Yeah. He’s different. If you read the original run you’ll see the difference, but this is What we have and this John is close.

[@benjaminasimpson]

For what it's worth, they're called endpapers or end sheets, not "end pages."

[@NearMintCondition]

I’ve heard all of these terms in the past. The end pages stuck with me the most when I used to do custom bound omnis. That’s what my contact at Houchen would call them. I do switch up what I call them from time to time. But thank you for clarifying what they really are called.

[@LiteratureInPictures]

So is this open ended? With a Vol 2 coming I would assume you’d need both for a conclusive story?

[@josephpingree7660]

Next one will more than likely be the rebirth run and maybe the backup stories from the recent batman books, that are currently still coming out. An tie ins with regular justice league.... if I remember correctly you don't need both to get into it, but its always good to have previous information.

[@LiteratureInPictures]

@@josephpingree7660 Gotcha. I went back to comics with Rebirth. Have those JL Dark books in tpb format. So would you say this omnie ^^ is open ended or wraps up their story in the New 52 era?

[@xacrifar1872]

Probably an unpopular opinion but omnibus with a huge page count can be off-putting due to the sheer thickness of the content. I have JLA and injustice omnibus and I feel both of them would have been better off thinner. I had to stretch out their spine carefully.

[@HunterPrototype]
