In 2020, I started getting into comics. One of the first things I did was search for the top 10 list of best DC and Marvel comics. Your video was one that I watched. We are the same age, I have 2 daughters too, and we both like X-Men. I started watching more and buying your recommendations. I haven't been disappointed yet. So yes, these videos are great, thanks for doing them.

Very thought through list. There’s one for each of the trinity. One justice league, one JSA that introduced golden age, Sandman that will drive new readers to Lucifer, Hellblazer and more. Gotham central for a look at ordinary people in the DC universe. The only ones I will add is John’s GL to go with Waid’s Fladh. As well as the upcoming Justice league dark: rebirth omnibus. JLD is perfect for new readers that like horror, fantasy and introduction to the magic side of DC( sandman also fills this niche, which is why I think your list is very well thought through) Regardless of what people’s opinion are for DC directions today, DC’s old content alone is enough to fill shelves.

First thanks for a such a great video and for noting some great titles. Would you happen to have a video on best way to store Omni’s? Some say upways, others say sideways. All I can say is there have been a few that the pages have fallen forward from being stored upways and I ended up replacing with individual GN and now avoid Omni’s as I am scared of damaging them. Appreciate any thoughts you may have and If you have a video, that would be great too. Thanks.

Excellent choice of DC omnibus books . The Grant Morrison Animals Man and JLA omnibus books are great books to read and also Mark Waid and Geoff John, Flash and JSA omnibus books . All three writers understand the history of DC comics and characters so yeah definitely reccomend put these omnibus books highly for new readers to read. Wonder woman by George Perez that one omnibus books that I would like to get and also Infinite Crisis omnibus book. I got some of the Infinite Crisis books but I feel like to upgrade for big fat omnibus book. There are some omnibus books that I feel that should be in top twenty list John Byrne Man of Steel omnibus books , Death and Return of Super Man by Jurgens and Ordway, Justice League International by Giffen and Dematties. And also the Batman omnibus books by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo. Keep on going Omar you are doing a good job and I also like your live Saturday show you and your wife are doing a great job.

Good list, although i am not sure If they are all for new readers. I agree on Flash, animal man, Gotham Central. Wonder woman and Sandman. Superman only because of the lack of alternatives(maybe death of supie). I would not Take Infinite crisis (Too complex) at all, for Batman the Loeb/Sale book, for JLA the JLI or the 52 book would be Better. I love JSA but i would Take a Green lantern book (Johns book 1 or blackest night). Book 11 To maybe replace crisis, Gotham Central or animal man would be Preacher.

Maybe it was just me, but I seem to recall the book going for LONG periods of time without ever using a character's name or giving any sort of reminder of their background or powers. There are lots of individual awesome moments in the omni, but I also found it somewhat frustrating. Jim Shooter's "every issue is someone's first issue" rule wasn't in effect. :)

This seems more like your 10 favorite DC books than the best books for new readers. Waid Flash is great, but that's all about Wally West, why would a new reader want to start with him when every version of the Flash in modern media is Barry Allen? Infinite Crisis for a new reader? Do you want them to quit in frustration? Love the Superman by Tomasi choice, that's a great intro to current Superman. Dini Batman is great, but I think Morrison Batman makes more sense as it introduces readers to Damian. My 10 for new readers are: Superman by Tomasi JLA by Morrison Sandman by Gaiman Wonderwoman by Perez (I kept these 4) Teen Titans Volume 2 by Wolfman and Perez Flash by Johns volume 3 (deals with the return of Barry Allen as well as Flashpoint so I think works well enough as an intro to that character) Aquaman by Peter David (Officially announced, so I can count it!) Green Lantern by Johns (really surprised you didn't have a Green Lantern book in here!) Justice League International by Giffen and Demattis (A completely different team from Morrison's and a great intro to a bunch of lesser known characters. Batman by Morrison volume 1

Nope. My top 10 would be so different. This I kept in mind new readers. Some of the books you mentioned were in the original list. Barry Allen’s return is so confusing without the lead up to it. Which is why I went with Waid’s Born To Run. Shows the story of Wally Year One. Morrison’s Batman is amazing, but even as a comic reader of 40 years… that RIP story is a nightmare to navigate through. I came close to JLI. Really close, but I think in the end Morrison’s JLA won over. But I love the Aquaman idea. Just not sure what’s collected in there yet. For the record I knew people getting into comics through the X-men movies and Chuck Austen’s run was nothing like the movies.

Fantastic selections. Aside from The Flash and JSA, I've read and own all of these, and they are some of the best DC stories ever published. I dont, however, think Infinite Crisis is that good for a begginner (altough its one of my absolute favorite events), as it deals with concepts and characters that might be challenging for a new reader. I'd replace Infinite Crisis with the Geoff Johns Green Lantern omnis. I'd also replace Gotham Central with either Batman by Loeb/Sale or Hellblazer by Garth Ennis

As a collections buyer, your videos were of great value to me in helping me figure out what to buy, in what order, and what were the best editions and options. So huge thank you to you.

I prefer the Absolute Sandman series. 2 more volumes, but the spines aren't under as much duress and they're also a bit larger and easier to read. I bought the omnibi first to avoid buying the Absolutes but then changed my mind when I saw how overloaded the omnibi are.

Hey, Omar. I have got a question. Why DC prints runs only by author and not by...mmm..."story" itself? For example, we have Batman by Paul Dini, PJ Tomasi, Superman by Morrison, Tomasi, ecc... while in Marvel we have this kind of printing but also normal chronological printing like Uncanny X-Men, Amazing Spider-Man, Fantastic Four ecc...? It would be better at some point, because there are omnibus that feels a little bit like axed because of the missing issues, like Dini's one. Or there are outstanding left out like one or two issues during Superman Rebirth run written by Idon'tRemeberWho. I hope you understand my question XD However: excellent choices!
