Superman Reading Order Part 2 | 1993 - 2001 | Superman/Doomsday Omnibus

[@Kalel0042]

Nearly 25 years ago DC printed my letter where I asked them to collect all of Superman from 1987 on. Their response was that they thought they had already done a good job of collecting the stories. That wasn't true then, and it's even less true now.

[@jrson5000]

Never realized how badly dc needs to update these superman books. Heres hoping for new superman omnis in the future!

[@twistedtheorist749]

They are so far behind with Superman Omnis. The Man Of Steel Hardcovers should have been 2 Omnis that buttered up nicely against the Exile Omnibus. And then all the stuff between Exile and Death Of could probably make 2 omnibuses.

[@andrewdockrill]

As someone who is getting into superman comics, I'm dying for superman omnibuses as it's the only way to keep it all straight for me.

[@jmv1969]

DC needs to look at Marvel to see how collected editions should be done. Epic Collections, Masterworks,etc. Create a line and then keep the same format throughout that run. Right now the Superman collected editions looks like someone was too lazy to map out the entire run so they just piecemeal stuff that looks like it goes together in one book and release it with different headings.

[@ReaperXC]

Agreed! Marvel publish almost ten to one what DC does per month. I’m sick of comic pop stating that Marvel don’t know how to do collected editions or reprint single issues in collected editions enough.

[@Vicksage16]

@@ReaperXC idk, I agree Marvel collects their long runs more effectively, but I agree with where ComicPop are coming from on evergreen material and thinking about the book market. Both companies have spots where they could learn from each other.

[@monsieuradi5644]

Imagine there would be an epic collection line for Superman's triangle years... sigh, a person can dream, can't they?

[@danielsolorzano8623]

2 years later and only a few months to wait. I picked a good time to start collecting

[@fabbricks8138]

Superman triangle era omnibus is releasing in September

[@UnlimitedProduction1]

I love Emperor Joker story it's a story that wouldn't be made today because for some reason in modern day DC, Joker is 10 steps ahead of everyone and no one can touch him except for Batman for some reason Back in the day Joker wasn't smarter than everyone he was a homicidal clown so when he clashed with Superman it was a fun story where Superman helped Batman in a MAJOR way at the end just showing why the Suoerman/Batman friendship is infinitely more interesting and important than this weird Batman/Joker "relationship" modern writers love these days

[@floridamanknives]

I was not planning to buy City of Tomorrow until hearing Uncanny Omar’s discussion on that Wonder Booty 😂😂😂

[@himakadabra]

I could never turn down some “Wonder booty” 🤣🤣

[@mattimusyardbird4292]

You are the best, man! With these two videos you helped me dive into Superman as I’ve wanted to the entire time I’ve been into comics (on and off for about 2 years) and was just too intimidated by the volume of material there is to try and suss it out. I appreciate it greatly, my man!

[@QuagsireEX]

This has made my day, I have just finished getting all the TPBs from part 1. Now to hunt for these! My wallet is crying though

[@greendaleforever]

Parts 3 and 4 are going to make you cry the most 🤣 I kept watching Omar's shelf tour and freeze framing the Superman section to make sure I got everything I needed before everyone else got the same idea and prices skyrocketed on what were fairly easy to find trades.

[@cesaralexandre666]

Just a tiny observation: Superman: Zero Hour goes before The Death of Clark Kent; that is when Conduit is introduced via flashbacks in the zero issues. Also: man of steel vol 5 should have those mini stories of Action Comics and the World of Krypton, Smallville and Metropolis!!! And DC should put out an extra volume of Man of Steel called Year One, which need to have: Action Comics Annual 7 Man of Steel Annual 4 Superman Annual 7 Adventures of Superman Annual 7 Legends of the DC Universe 1-3, 6, 14, 39 Fourth World by John Byrne 20

[@andrewcartier272]

Superman: For all Seasons is absolutely wonderful. Jeph Loeb never disappoints, also Tim Sale has such a unique art style Edit: I picked up the hc version of the book from my local comic shop, ecstatic that they had it

[@twistedtheorist749]

I’ve been hoping for an Absolute Edition of it for years. That’s another department that DC lacks in when it comes to Superman.

[@cactusblack5993]

@@twistedtheorist749 Same could be said for Red Son and Secret identity.

[@Kalel0042]

@@cactusblack5993 Secret Identity is my favorite Superman story of all time. I would kill for an Absolute.

[@waza987]

For all Seasons is my favourite Superman story. Same team as Batman The Long Halloween, Dark Victory and Haunted Knight. This same team also did the colors series for Marvel, Daredevil Yellow, Spiderman Blue, Hulk Grey and Captain America White. Every one of these are great.

[@George_Incruento]

I was expecting the part 2, I hope to see part 3 soon. Thanks for the great video!

[@capncurls8189]

Omar just thought I’d give you an info heads up- that Superman Doomsday book-it was actually reprinted in 2016. It’s still in TPB format but now on newer Glossy paper with Adventures of Superman #594 & Superman #175 now omitted from the collection.

[@Blaiswing246]

Love this! Superman needs more love! Can't wait for the next one!

[@NearMintCondition]

They are coming along now that I found the books :)

[@siddhantmishra3598]

[@Mako2401]

Thank you for this video , i love these reading orders!

[@mrwasi99]

THANKS OMAR! Been holding my breath for this

[@sazmurph540]

Omar, thank you for putting this together as this clearly took a lot of work. Seeing how piecemeal the DC collected editions has been in the past makes me so thankful for how Marvel has been doing their lines with the Epics and omnis. I really wish DC would follow suit.

[@BKsBullets]

I just posted a review for City of Tomorrow V1. Lol. I did notice that City of Tomorrow Vol 2 runs right into Emperor Joker, and from my flip thru it looked like the critical condition issues were in V2

[@MaximumWarp2099]

I’ve recently gotten into Superman having just bought all the Byrne hardcovers and the Exile Omni. I don’t know why, but I am hopeful DC will start publishing collections of the issues that bridge the gap between Exile and Death. I know, call me crazy.

[@richh6001]

I need Superman Blue to be fully collected! I love the look and want to see more. I can't find a reading order anywhere online either if I go the single back issue route.

[@Young_FlexerOG]

It may be a little late, but I found a reading order for the entire Triangle era. On Google, type "Superman Triangle Era Reading Order" it's a Reddit post by Jaleou. For Superman Blue, start at Superman Vol 2 #122 and end at Superman Vol. 2 #135. That also includes Superman Red/Superman Blue. Hope this helps! 🙂

[@toeknee1505]

A very good comprehensive list! Thanks Omar!

[@Spiderweb444]

Thank you for this! :)

[@cagegrant213]

hey omar im back was on my vacation yo! reading catch up omnibus books!

[@Manuortizp]

I think the city of tomorrow is a great jumping on point for 2000’s superman stories.

[@Manuortizp]

There will be no volume three, emperor joker follows the city of tomorrow tpb

[@Manuortizp]

And critical condition is in city of tomorrow vol.2, there’s “recently” new editions of emperor joker and president lex tpb, from our world’s at war and on it hasn’t had new editions

[@redkalel]

Hoping we do get a volume 3 of city of tomorrow but Im reading that era now and volume 2 does have critical condition and it doesn’t end on a cliffhanger. It goes straight into Emperor Joker

[@fabritz1891]

Got Superman/Doomsday but not the Omni. It’s a tpb volume 5 part of Death/Return of Sup volumes 1-4. Volume 5 collects Doomsday Annual 1, Doomsday Wars 1-3, Doomsday Hunter/Prey 1-3. All volume’s spines combine to make a bloody S sign. I got the reprint Omni for Death/Return Sup so I won’t get tpb volume 1-4.

[@rivwilson9330]

I've this week ordered from an online seller a bunch of these older trades. There is so so much uncollected or needs to be recollected superman stories from the 90s and 00s. Seeing all these comments about they should do an epic line and I agree so much. I was amazed how uniform and recently they collected the Loeb era. My bucket list would be fat trades collecting properly the post-infinite crisis to flashpoint stories. I have for example have been unable for years to find a copy of Johns superman and the legion story.

[@Krypton_Ken]

Great video, Omar, thanks for doing these. I've read all of this stuff but it's been so long that I find the videos really useful. Really wish DC would do a comprehensive Superman collection, like Marvel's Epics, from Byrne's Man of Steel up to maybe when Loeb took over. Such a great era.

[@pepeburrito1238]

Cant wait for part 3

[@twistedtheorist749]

I too was excited when I saw Superman Blue volume 1. Then I quickly found out that they weren’t continuing it. I was about 10 when that happened and read random issues as a kid. I was very happy that I could be getting to read all of it. I’m also pinning for more City of Tomorrow Volumes. DC is so frustrating with their terrible collected Edition department.

[@ReaperXC]

For all seasons needs a deluxe edition.

[@funde002]

Make it Absolute

[@griffinurbanski2192]

I'm pretty sure the city of tomorrow vol 2 collects all the critical condition stuff

[@NearMintCondition]

Missing a one shot I think. Otherwise I would have tossed it :)

[@griffinurbanski2192]

@@NearMintCondition oh I had no idea! Excited for part 3

[@twistedtheorist749]

DC needs to step up the Superman collected editions. I just learned of the Loose Canon mini from one of your videos which leads me to learn of the SCU mini. Man I want those. Along with everything Superman from the 90’s.

[@cactusblack5993]

Hopefully Discovery cleans house with DC collection department too and hire people that can actually supply and demand.

[@dhmcadams662]

Currently on a Superman kick so of course I'm going back and watching these awesome reading order videos. If at some point I ever NOT laugh my butt off when someone says, "Wonder Booty" please check my pulse cause I'm more that likely dead.

[@brunopassarelli8993]

Hello! great video! Omar, do you know if there is any hardcover version in English that contains the entire kesel stage (post death of superman year 1993, Adventures of Superman #505 onwards)? Thank you!

Sadly not yet.

[@L1ghtOn3]

Is there a quick list? Lol I see it now Thanks much appreciated 👍

[@rock51279]

I'm still hoping that one day DC infinite will fill in more of the gaps on all the missing Superman issues, on the Action comics and the Superman title, there is almost nothing from 72 through 85... I would hope for something like Marvel's unlimited..

[@Kalel0042]

Thank you for calling out that Superman / Wonder Woman issue! I get what they were going for, and I'm a firm believer that Superman needs to be "perfect" to work as a character, but they just screwed up the time. If he had been with Diana for five or ten years, then fine, he stays true to Lois. But to say that he entered that dimension at around 33 years old... and then proceeded to live for one thousand years with Diana but remained the exact same person he was in his early thirties?

[@tariqkhonji6556]

I’m pretty sure Superman for all Seasons is out of continuity?

[@BKsBullets]

I checked the new Our Worlds are War trade with my old ones and said they had the same stuff. I think the only differences was the combining of the volumes and removal of sketches. I dunno. The new one felt like a miss b/c they could have put in more of the main tie-in issues in there. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eaetoHadq7iYY80

[@erwingu]

What a bummer superman collected editions is. DC's more into batman. Not that I'm a batman hater.

[@cactusblack5993]

For All Seasons is a canon storyline?

[@NearMintCondition]

Always has been to me.

[@Kalel0042]

I'd say it's canon-ish. There's nothing in it that directly contradicts post Crisis continuity. I think of it as Byrne's Man of Steel through a different lens.

[@NotXsoXoptic]
