[@TheeWorrier]

This run was my introduction to western comics, was a long time manga reader and somehow I ended up reading this then Nova and fell in love. 100% must buy for me.

[@himakadabra]

When you watch the overview then look in the corner and see the book waiting to be read 🤩 This will be my first ever MK reading material

[@indigosensei47]

I got vol 1 & 2 of the classic run so I'm definitely grabbing this modern Moon Knight along with Fall of the Mutants and Shehulk by Peter David. Awesome overview as always!

[@theartistknownaszack9234]

Fall of the mutants and Luke cage are my major gets for next week but i need this moony Omni

[@TheMoheaddinbody]

The David Finch cover all the way. I met him at a convention a few years ago and the guy is so humble. He treated me as if he was a fan of mine after noticing my wedding ring has all the different lantern symbols from Green lantern. It's those interactions with creators that make conventions fun.

[@KillerTacos54]

David Finch is not just an incredible artist, but such a kind, gentle and humble person. His livestreams on KZbin are so so good and it's no wonder why his channel has become so popular so quickly

[@TheMoheaddinbody]

@@KillerTacos54 Man, I totally agree. He gives out free art lessons that would cost an arm and a leg. Not to mention when he has other guest artist on his channel drawing and sharing their techniques.

[@Alvarakk]

Decent sized book, black border, extras in the back. Sooo picking up this one! THanks for the early overview Omar.

[@vincentimbesi3947]

I’m really looking forward to getting this book. I really hope it leads into a volume two that collects the Bendis, Ellis, Wood, Bunn and Lemire runs!

[@aarong3582]

Yes! Now 2 volumes of Marc Spector and the “modern” Omni to go! Let’s make it happen

[@jwanwaldon2509]

Dude I was just thinking about that. I love to see Marvel comics do Two Omnis of Marc Spector Moon Knight. I would love to collect that. I love Moon Knight.❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@mawinstallation6626]

yes!!

[@pay7232]

Fingers crossed besides the first arc being in an upcoming epic there is no collected editions of Marc Spector Moon Knight which is a shame.

[@plym06]

oh, i guess you did make it happen

[@aarong3582]

@@plym06 haha! I guess so! 2 more to go now lol

[@CS11]

Always got the perfect timing on these videos , was just thinking if i wanted this omnibus

[@CptSauce]

Same here!

[@mrpepperami01]

Got my copy of this last week. Some of the art in this is unreal. So so good

[@rmirandagrajales]

I wish Marvel continue with putting all the comic books covers in the back of the omnibus

[@Martin_TheCollector]

I'M SUPER DUPER HYPED!!!!!!!!!!!! Now let's see how long it takes to get Ellis, Bunn and Bemis's runs collected as OHC's. The sooner the better obviously.

[@TheMightyMidget]

I have a feeling they're steering clear of Ellis's run, albeit great, due to the allegations against him.

[@Fredsinator]

@@TheMightyMidget they won't he's not the only one that made that series. Plenty of other creators worked on it

[@candyman02]

That artwork is incredible

[@snoopy4749]

This is one of my must haves for this year

[@Cockslicer97]

I hope marvel will make a complete collection of this, like how they did with untold tales of spider-man and Jonathan Hickman fantastic four.

[@warrenweaver6664]

Getting the standard cover cause I like it more. Can’t wait for this been waiting for this series to be collected in Omni format for so long can’t wait.

[@freddie8354]

Defintely pucking this up, this is how I had found out about MK ❤️

[@willvill7991]

Hyped for this one. Getting this for sure. Thanks for the overview, Omar. As usual, you’ve made me more excited for this one. Going with the Finch dust jacket.

[@Wisp616]

All we need is the 2014-2018 era of Moon Knight in an omnibus, possibly calling it “Mr. Knight Omnibus”. A Moon Knight: Marc Spector Omnibus Volume 2 (which would hopefully include the rest of Marc Spector: Moon Knight, along with the two 1998 miniseries). Then a Moon Knight By Jed McKay omnibus once his run ends. Then we would have almost all of Moon Knights solo comics history collected, we would only be missing the Brian Michael Bendis run, which has a complete collection trade paperback for people interested in that run. Hopefully we can see this happen within the next few years. Might be wishful thinking, but this would be awesome.

[@travismcelroy8724]

This will be the first of moon knight that I will be reading. Excited.

[@belowzeros]

talked me into this one, used to love MK as a kid

[@notorious.k.i.p.]

Yes!!! This is a great week for omnis!

[@MrMarcusToliver]

Excellent video, Omar! I never read this run. I'm more familiar with the classic stuff and the work of Ellis and Lemire, so this will be a first for me! Exciting! :)

[@dogmd7]

Marvel is killing me with all of these releases! Thanks for the overview though, this will be one I have to pick up but it might have to wait until I can pay off everything else I bought recently from Marvel...

[@djsuth7727]

Finch cover for me :)

[@tasan215]

Standard cover for me slso. This run was on my most wanted omni list, and I cannot wait to read it. Thanks Uncanny Omar

[@jdudhdxheudhdh1864]

Yes moon Knight reading order pls love ur videos keep going and also continue Superman reading order big fan

[@projektvyking7521]

Bring on all the Moon Knight

[@georgefeliu2383]

It's Finch. This is the volume why I bought the previous volumes.

[@nathanwalters4867]

Thank you so much Omar. Awesome overview. I'm so excited. Next the Bendis, Ellis, Wood, Bunn, Bemis, Lemire, and then sometime later McKay's run. C'mon Marvel get working on it! Haha. Take care and peace everyone.

[@Matthew.E.Kelly.]

As someone who has most but not all of this run in tattered paperbacks, this omnibus is a much-needed upgrade.

[@toeknee1505]

Thanks for the video Omar!

[@NearMintCondition]

Sure thing!

[@grzegorzciombor5848]

Hi. Never read Moon Knight but this book looks and sounds awesome. So thanks to you Omar ill definitely add it to my collection :) Thx Omar

[@ljkelty1766]

Really awesome! I remember reading a few issues of this series (post Civil War tie-ins, maybe?), but this book looks great. I forgot how much of an artistic golden age 2000-2010 was for Marvel and DC.

[@rufiohaspan]

I want the dedato jr cover

[@avishekroy]

Definitely picking this one up! Khonshu be praised!

[@theartistknownaszack9234]

Im getting the DM cover it's badass!

[@jconny65]

will buy. hope to see another MK omni collecting lemire and bunn's runs.

[@KingInBlue]

Just finished reading the first two trades on comixology and the art in this is just awesome. Seriously considering getting this omni now, to have it in oversize format.

[@eagleal]

I have read any of these at all, but you've made it all sound like it's a good run Omar

[@NearMintCondition]

I had my issues with Vengeance, but I really enjoyed the Huston era of MK.

[@unripetheberrby6283]

Really nice video 😊 Makes me want to buy an issue!

[@pay7232]

One of my favorite comic runs.

[@jasonbartlett7344]

Give Caught Stealing by Huston a try very similar themes as his Moon Knight first arc.

[@Almighty_Mage]

Omar making me want things

[@sazmurph540]

Ordered this, looking forward to reading it. Now, if we can just get Marc Spector: Moon Knight announced! 2 volumes and done! Maybe in time for season 2!

[@jocool7370]

I'll go with the David Finch cover. Deodato's Moon Knight seems somewhat weird.

[@germaholic]

"It's a faster read than the Doug Moench stuff." Yeah, but Chris Claremont issues are a faster read than the Doug Moench stuff. They're still cook issues, though. Still waiting on volume 2 and this from Cheap Graphic Novels, though.

[@KillerTacos54]

That is NICE!

[@jonnyneverland5276]

This one and Vol. 2 both look really great under the dust jacket. I wonder why some books get the standard cover on one side and the DM cover on the other, and then other books get a really cool wrap around image.

[@rhinuu045]

that art doee dang

[@realdopecomics]

They need to release a complete collection of the Ellis run. It’s insane home much those Trades are going for right now.

[@Cockslicer97]

I would be sooooo freaking happy if they do that.

[@realdopecomics]

Definitely picking this one up though 👌🏽

[@MisterX867]

Agreed. I also wish Jeff Lemire's run would get reprinted in hardcover.

[@shengcer]

I start to read this run just recently. 10 issues in, I am like, wait a minute, this Moon Knight character is a psychopath.

[@robertday4390]

To me, the thinner Imak paper stock always seems to make the artwork look a little flat on the pages, don’t know if that’s their printing process or the paper itself. At least we’re still getting books printed so that’s something. Thanks Omar!

[@MisterX867]

This book's a lot bigger than I expected, I'm kind of surprised it wasn't split into 2 volumes. I've heard from folks that got this early that this omni's paper is actually super thin, not sure how much of a con that is though.

[@mr.darkside65]

I was holding it for 15 mins while reading and I felt it! It's a damn heavy book! That aside it's also a solid read for me so far! To the point where I'm satisfied with not feeling an itch to buy more comics:)

[@Dressy1471]

Esta duro

[@Aluminatihusker]

I’ve been debating all week if I should get this or Incredible Hulk Omnibus-1 by Peter David?

[@fishin4bass2002]

What I can’t understand is why they don’t have the 90s moonknight in omni/trade or even on marvel unlimited

[@Brer247i]

Was on the fence about this one but I pulled the trigger on the DM version today based on this video.

[@xavier8394]

Omar, do you think Marvel will publish Moon Knight vol.3 omnibus with Bushman last stand ? I know it was short story but it is strange they did not put it in vol.2 of classic 🤔

[@NearMintCondition]

I certainly hope so.

[@germaholic]

I'm almost to the halfway point of this omnibus now and it's cool and everything, but is anyone else having pages coming detached from the spine or is it just my copy? It's not too bad and I have book-binding glue to fix it, but it's still annoying.

[@matamoron50]

Any news about Marc Spectre Moon Knight being collected in omnibus or epic collection formats?

[@NearMintCondition]

The first six issues will be in Epic volume 4 later this year.

[@patrickthomson8299]

I've tried mapping out what I think we could get in terms of more Moon Knight Omnibus' (using the Moon Knight Chronology Project by Orion Petitclerc) and I'll admit that I've been very optimistic. But I think it's at least a good starting point as to what must be in the collections, and what could be let go of. There's definitely stuff in here that could be cut, and stuff that maybe I left out that people feel should be in here. I'm by no mean an authority on the topic and have hardly read any of this stuff so I'm not even entirely sure if MK is prevalent in some of these stories. But interested to hear what people have to say.

Is this book out of print already? I cant find it on amazon or book depository

[@ashleyn1979]

Dam art is awesome. Had to pass on this as it was $160 AUD!

[@dannybrown82]

I prefer the David Finch cover, but, why wasn't his name on the cover?

[@NearMintCondition]

They credited the writers.

[@Joakimcomicscenter]

you almost got me with this one Omar ;)

[@marcspectororamijakelockle7232]

You know you want it ... sell all the other books ;) Schysst video från Stockholm förresten, visste inte det fanns så mycket folk som gick dit och klädde ut sej. I Göteborg för många år sen var det massa folk men nästan ingen som var utklädd

[@Joakimcomicscenter]

@@marcspectororamijakelockle7232 Tack så mycket. Jobbade hårt med den videon. Ja Stockholm bjuder alltid på utklädda människor i massvis. Hinner aldrig filma så många som man önskar, men gör det bästa av dem man hinner möta!

[@UncleSteve94]

I’m intrigued by this. Y’all think it’s a good jumping on point? Should I pick this up?

[@marcspectororamijakelockle7232]

This was the first US comic I ever read in English back in the day and I fell in love with Moon Knight immediately. I knew absolutely nothing about the character more than he looked cool as hell :) so IMO you can start here without any knowledge at all.

[@ComicsCompanion]

I hadn't read Moon Knight before. Got an opportunity to read "The Bottom" in TPB a couple of weeks back & had a really hard time figuring out what exactly was happening in the story. Neither were the characters known so that added to my misery. Not sure if it's a good jumping on point. Guess it's better to start with the omnis collecting the bronze age stories.

[@monkelad420]

what kind of binding does this omni have ? is it sewn binding or glued binding ?

[@NearMintCondition]

sewn. I mention it in the video.

[@seito1276]

Man, the first time I disagree with you. Identity Crisis was awesome! That’s ok, you’re still tha man, Omar!

[@nickvanleeuwenberg6699]

Is it a good read for beginners?

[@johnging1108]

Have you read the tmnt Batman crossover. Would you recommend If you have ?

[@NearMintCondition]

I have read the first two. Hoping the omnibus still comes.

[@NotXsoXoptic]

hello omar this is a comment to remind you to read head lopper and judge dredd. I know i am a day late but I feel like I'm doing the lord's work by commenting this. but in all seriousness I did have lots of fun reading head lopper

[@NearMintCondition]

Reading Judge Dredd! :)

[@TheWrestlinEra]

👀🌙

[@ElArlequin]

My good friend, ALL eternal fountain of information! Ed Brubaker's Daredevil run will release next month in an Omnibus. It is my understanding that this is a follow up to Michael Bendis run. Are you aware of any plans to reprint Bendis stuff? Because I don't want to buy the Brubaker run and be completely lost, since the Bendis stuff is OOO. Thanks!

[@NearMintCondition]

Sadly that book was reprinted two years ago so it may be a while. Check with Dying Breed Collectors. They had a couple of copies of Bendis DD Omnis.

[@ygbr2997]

how many heroes are there in NYC 😂 seriously

[@kurumais]

im not a huge fan of finch but damn can he draw moon knight

[@theartistknownaszack9234]

I remember telling a friend of mine that when i was a Noob and barely getting into comics i remember this book hitting the shelves but i never got it i was stuck into Civil War and Marvel Zombies lol

[@lukesalter5925]

Just finished this omnibus and I was disappointed overall. Positives: The art was really good (for most the issues) I loved the colour and design and I could honestly just stare at a page for ages taking in the detail. Negative: Also the art the art changes for some issues and is a lot weaker and less creative. The characters also become really hard to identify because there is so little detail they just look the same. Just felt so bland and dull which is such a contract to the other artist. Negative: the action scenes are a little disjointed. I loved the gore and tone. But sometimes I’m confused like one moment moon knight would be throwing a punch and the next panel he’s on the floor, just felt disjointed like I don’t understand the full flow of the fight scenes and what’s actually happening. How did moon knight get the upper hand? Or get over powered it sometimes didn’t show me. Negative: The story repeated itself throughout the omnibus. Moon knights pissed off he then fights a villain and somehow becomes a better version of himself and makes a change. But I never as a reader understood how he ever went through his redemption arcs. So much so that there are literally points where he’s the exact same character (hurting/ killing people) then the next page he decides he doesn’t want to do that anymore. But why? How? What’s happend!?! As a reader it never explained to me how he came to that life change. I actually would keep flicking the page to see if pages had become stuck together. Negative: This is a personal dislike but I love that moonlight essentially suffers from multiple personality disorder and I felt they could have played on this more it’s a unique and creative way of bringing the character to life. It also separates him from other heroes as I don’t know many others that suffer from this. But they hardly did anything with it. The best part off the whole book for me was when Marc spectre went to get his registration to become a ‘legal hero’ you see a really great scene of his personality’s switching. Man I would have loved to see more of that! Overall I would give this a 4/10 Not the worst thing I read but I wish I spent my money on a different omnibus.

[@eliaskomiksatkape6651]

It's out of stock already in CGN?

[@matamoron50]

Any idea if Marc Spectre Fists of Khonshu will get an Omni?

[@rdfarias87]

They usually show out of stock a few days before release but it will be back on the day of. I guess they have to get their shipping ducks in a row.

[@MisterX867]

Organicpricedbooks has it in stock, though it is a little more expensive than CGN.

[@NearMintCondition]

Fists of Khonshu is in volume 2 of the Moon Knight omnibus.

[@rc75905]

Terrible

[@lancecruz3767]

Can you drag out a video even more?? SMH

[@NearMintCondition]

Yes. I can read War and Peace next time. If you want some one flipping pages saying: hey that’s a cool picture of this guy. Those are other channels. They are out there, hope you find what you needs.
