If i was a billionaire i would literally hire this guy to help me buy EVERY graphic novel worth buying!! Love this channel!!!

[@CoryAkabueze]

Justice league international is one of the best justice league comic’s ever made

[@cjc4426]

Is it really that good? I never collected them cause I thought they were too outdated. More of modern comic book reader

Ironically,nobody announced Keith Giffen's death.I found out about through this video alone.It's really messed up considering the contributions he gave to DC with this Justice League run.I was hoping to meet him one day but now he's in a better place.R.I.P.,Keith Giffen.I'm picking up this book to your memory because it was a key part of my childhood.

[@giorgiogirardi4661]

My first comic was a JLI comic. This is part of my life just as much as it changed me forever. These omnibuses are pure gold.

[@jamesrhoads1608]

One of the greatest Post Crisis runs has now been fully collected. I got my copy on Tuesday.

[@kevinvendt5948]

Ordered mine and I am impatiently awaiting its arrival. If I had to limit myself to only one Omni this year, this would be it.

[@rogeliodoyle9168]

I cannot believe it's finally here!!!

[@KJ-tz7vc]

A while back I sold off most of my floppies. Then I bought a house that came with a whole wall of built-in bookshelves, giving me impetus to start collecting some of my favorite storylines in omnibus form. Your channel and its archive have been invaluable in helping me judicially select volumes to purchase. I especially want to thank you for recommending the JLI omnis. I had wanted to read that series since "Formerly Known As the Justice League" came out and never did. Then I learned from your channel that these collections even existed, and soon after found incredible sales on Amazon for all three. Fully enjoying JLI for the first time! Thank you!!

[@mrwasi99]

I have been waiting soooooòoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo long for this!!!😊 I originally found out about this series through Wizard. They had a Hidden treasures (gems?) Section featuring the JLI and I hunted down ever single issue.

[@arthurwoo6082]

So excited to be getting this book and a happy surprise they included the 80 page giant and the 2 JL minis from the early aughts! Much of this is new to me so looking fwd to reading it with early Robertson work along with Maguire, Sears and Sprouse!

[@dockaster2352]

Thrilled to finally see this omnibus coming out. I'll be able to complete this particular creative team.

[@vincentimbesi3947]

I’m so happy to see this has finally been released! I’ve been waiting forever for this final volume. Thanks for the awesome overview Omar! 👍🏼

[@briangrindrod4364]

I could not resist anymore. I read those awesome DeMatteis-Giffen Justice League series when they were being published as monthlies. Sold them about 15 years ago to get rid of long boxes in my household, however, I went to my LCS today and ordered all three volumes after viewing your video. Brought back tons of great memories. Can't wait to re-read Justice League Annual #4 (1990)! P,S, More G'Nort...

[@davidgraham8299]

Can't wait for this to arrive. It's a looong time coming.

[@gypsyrevolver6826]

You are really selling me on this. Can I get this without reading the previous omni’s? Which of the 3 omnibuses are the best?

[@jacekjusinski3782]

Great overview, as always. Been looking forward to this omni

[@djsuth7727]

Received my copy yesterday. This was an omni I thought would never surface given how inactive DC had been with new releases.

[@mattthompson3371]

I'm not sure why DC doesn't send you advance copies of books. You sell me on so many of them and I'm sure others.

[@MikeF.74]

I was thinking the same thing. Not cool.

[@josephpetersen1728]

He still reviews the big dc releases. That might be why

[@mattthompson3371]

@@josephpetersen1728 If he got them earlier, It would be easier to decide what to get. Marvel knows what's good for them, that's for sure.

[@elpequenolibrero]

For sure. Omar is the reason I started collecting omnis

[@beastlaz]

This is in the post on it's way to me, should be here Monday.

[@projektvyking7521]

I'd take a vol. 4 or Deluxe Editions for Superman and Wonder Woman

[@TheCZO]

I kinda liked the other dust cover jacket they were showing off during solicits... but waiting patiently for my copy!!

[@cruelangel8689]

Waiting on this and Wolvie 5 to arrive, kind of neat they shipped the same week!

[@sazmurph540]

I loved this era of Justice League. I started after Justice League Europe (International) started and became a devoted fan. Loses some of it's heart after they re-introduce Superman and Wonder Woman to the team.

[@davidgraham8299]

It lost it's heart when Giffen and DeMatteis left.

[@projektvyking7521]

Looking forward to doing another read through of the first two leading into this one

[@sergiofreitas441]

I can now die in peace.

[@ebilliot510]

I'm really surprised that DC did not remove the writers name (the one that went to jail for unspeakable crimes) from the credits. Omar, another great review. How do you get your DC books before everyone else for reviews? I know you don't have the same relationship with DC that you have with Marvel but I was just wondering.

[@xposhboyx]

Great overview, the book arrived to me and looks amazing. I have one of the infamous messed up printings of volume 1. It's really annoying. Some words are unreadable. I've been struggling to get through it.

[@brunobillion3435]

received this earlier this week great omni

[@angelohernandez6060]

Great stuff!!! Love the JLI!!! And Jumpin' Blue Beetle! A REAL omnibus! This ain't no panzy Marvel omni that is really only an oversized hardcover collection! You get your money's worth with this one. DC has always been my favorite comic publisher and this is one of the reasons why. They could be greedy like Marvel and make us buy three oversized HC collections for 75 to 125 a pop when they could put all that material in one omni for 150 like DC. The Mouse is an insidious greedy entity that feeds on our souls and wallets. Beware the Mouse!

[@tonysand8764]

I wish dc keep releasing this omnibus serie👍🏽

[@davidgraham8299]

There is more but I don't think it's from the same creative team

[@josephpatrick6672]

I love JLI and all the great character dynamics. I wasn't happy when they retconned one character from morally ambiguous to pure evil.

[@EffigeeWhiz]

Yeah that was terrible what they did to the Flash.

[@josephpatrick6672]

I was referring to Maxwell Lord of course

[@josephpingree7660]

We need an Armageddon 2001 omnibus.

[@Syntherus]

Dang, I still need to get Voi 2...

[@matamoron50]

Considering the author of Justice League Europe who also wrote issues of Justice League America starting around issue 92(?), I'm not confident DC will reprint any of those stories.

[@georgefeliu2383]

American Entertainment was awesome.

[@McDuendis]

It'll have to wait... a little bit expensive 😅

[@ianfleetwood8804]

JLI ticked all right boxrs at the right time. A concept that appealed to eveyone across the world, and others that followed or try to immediate just failed. My book arrive a few days ago and although not opened yet, the blub on the back made me smile and laugh. Not bad for something not shy of £100 ukp. I havehes that we will get the rest of this run and have high hopes that DC won't ignore the 80's-90's yearscwhen they were producing sime good stories and art. Unlike now. Nice review, as usual. A boo, well prsented and would had sold it to me if i hadn't had read most of the run as flopies

[@earlsmith7428]

Does this have the justice league Antarctica special? I loved that one. .

[@kakuroto]

If this the one with the killer pinguins, it was in the Omni Vol. 2.

[@earlsmith7428]

@@kakuroto Thank you. The killer penguins versus Big Sir. One of my favorite stories. Really made me laugh.

Question: is Maguire in vol 2 at all?

[@cademan8618]

If he is, it's not enough to get the credit on the jacket

[@drelima1978]

Yes he is, there’s the JLA Classified and the Formerly Known as JL stories.

Hi love your reviews. Just started reading this first two were fun. Please ,please update the justice league reading order. Many thanks.

[@DJ--ALLDAY]

😄I almost caved in when Omar lined up All 3 Omni's together, ☝But then i remembered - At this time in history MARVEL was k🦶cking DC's ass with "X-Books, Spidey books, New Warriors Silver Suffer, Infinity Saga". Other than the DC cross-over events and The Flash i wasn't to fund of most of these stories

[@drelima1978]

You said you would like a Vol.4 Omnibus? But the JLI stories end here, isn’t it?

[@davidgraham8299]

After the Giffen/DeMatteis team left it continues with Dan Jurgens taking over. It wasn't as good and it didn't last long.

[@drelima1978]

@@davidgraham8299Yeah.. but for me it feels like a whole different team. Even the characters act like they’re other persons. Although it is a continuation, it seems like it is only in cover numbering…

[@davidgraham8299]

@@drelima1978 Yep, completely agree. Jurgens was out of his depth following the Giffen/DeMatteis team. So even if they do a Vol. 4 I'm happy to get Vol 3 and stop there.

[@josephpatrick6672]

I don't think there is any need for a vol 4. The JL between the Giffen/DeMatteis and Morrison eras was not good.

[@BKsBullets]

What would be in a Vol 4 if they have the 2 can't believe it's not the justice league series in here? Generation lost?

[@OrangeGeemer]

9:30 what does it mean to have a lot of heart?? What would be a comic with little heart??

[@EffigeeWhiz]

That would be a Bendis book.

[@odan-urr]

I usually find that to mean that the characters are genuine, and they have compassion and empathy for one another, even when a series is known it’s humor (like this book) or if something is even violent and over the top (like Preacher). A lot of the character interactions feel real and feels like they are real, 3 dimensional people. Biggest example of comics for me that don’t have a lot of heart is the entire Ultimate universe (minus Spider-Man)

[@OrangeGeemer]

@@odan-urr thanks, I think I get it now. It's more about the characters than the story, for example: LotR would have heart, Rings of Power not so much.

[@stephentheshywarrior2759]

But ultimate Spider-Man was chock full of soul and heart.😁
