Top 10 X-men Omnibus and Hardcovers!

Today I took the advice from our viewers and I did my Top 10 favorite X-men Omnibus/Oversized Hardcover. This was a really hard list for me to put together and one I honestly have been working on for the last few months. Well, it's finally here and I hope you enjoy the video and let me know what you would have on your top 10 in the comments below!

That was fun. I don't look at these videos as bragging, but to grab my attention towards a book to watch out for should Marvel decide reprints or new omnibus release. Thank you.

[@NearMintCondition]

Thank you so much for saying that. I love making these and I would hate to come across that way!

[@No8Named8Shadow]

I wish Marvel would reprint more often.

[@NearMintCondition]

Same here brother, same here!

[@dddPetey]

I wish marvel would just publish enough inventory so then they wouldn't necessarily have to "Reprint" it before it sells out in 3 weeks after release.

[@JennySparkz]

Good news from the future :D

[@fergalmullen4785]

Hi Omar, love your videos and find you a great source of knowledge. Would love to see an updated reading order of all X-men Omnis and OHCs as a lot have come out and im terribly confused!

[@NearMintCondition]

Updated video will come out later this year. With the release of the fourth omnibus. :) Promise.

[@fergalmullen4785]

Near Mint Condition delighted to hear that!

[@01factor]

Interesting, I disagree with 3 of these choices but i appreciate the effort.

[@NearMintCondition]

Thanks for watching and it's all subjective. :)

[@mnm25chango2]

Omar! Revisiting a few old videos. I’m wondering, with Marvel reprinting Astonishing X-men amidst a bunch of other reprints… do you think they’ll reprint New X-men by Morrison??

[@NearMintCondition]

I hope so, brother. Perhaps in 2022.

[@andrewmall]

Hi :) on 0:36 for 0.5sek i see the cover of Road to Onslaught omnibus or something. Can you show this more ?? :)

Aej Mej it is a custom bound book I found on eBay. I may show those off at a later time.

What a beautiful sight, dude! I lost the two first Omnibuses and Jim Lee’s. Looking forward for some reprint.

[@NearMintCondition]

I'm hoping we get those reprints too. Those books are a must on everyone's list.

[@mangageekdom]

Nice list! More top 10s please :)

You go it, my dood!

[@francoisdemorcy5084]

Massacre was brutal. Magneto being good was soft. Age of Apocalypse was awesome. Jim Lee was a big name

[@unicronQ]

I'm trying to slowly collect the major X-men stories. I have the Uncanny X-men Omnibus 1-3 with 4 on pre-order and I have the Claremont and Lee Omnibus 2 that I got just before it went out of print with the reprint of 1 ordered. This will be a good reference for other books to seek out! I'm saving it to my favorites list!

[@NearMintCondition]

I hope you enjoy. Keep an eye on the channel as X-men are my favorite and I do reading orders as well.

[@Dying_Breed_Collectors]

Bonus like for adding in that sound effect from the animated series.

[@NearMintCondition]

Thank you for noticing. You are really the first person to notice.

[@maxmiller5619]

OMFG Once I discovered you guys, I was hoping and praying you'd do this SPECIFIC episode. Because let's be honest, I don't think there's ever been a more convoluted and confusing lore than the X-men in superheroes. How many teams, alternate team rosters, timelines, deaths that weren't deaths, clones, aliens, cross over events....you poor soul dude. X-Men doesn't just leave Legion in a comatose state, but when you truly try to make sense of it and get it all straight...you're left in a comatose state. LMFAO! I so took the opening as you saying..."Oh God if I just took "mutants and/or X-Men introduced characters...this will takes HOURS." LMFAO! Again, love your stuff, so glad I discovered and now I subscribed.

[@NearMintCondition]

Thank you so much for the kind words. I dive really dip into X-men since that was my childhood. But, yes sometimes it's hard to love X-men.

[@Chandasouk]

Omar is such a bad influence. I was at the book store minding my own business, walked past the bargain books section, and picked up hardcovers of Identity Crisis and Wagner's Trinity for no reason! I dont even like collecting! Lol

so much to pick from so much awesome need some lee omni reprints!! astonishing!! so many reprints and gaps to fill...GET ON IT MARVEL!!! wolverine on the x is definitely a TOP 10 cover imo...hulk 340 also a top 10 cover (need a top 20 xmen covers vid or 50 marvel covers!!!) gambit and kid storm!! UXM vol 1-2-3 all so good!! my first memories of uxm were the mutant massacre so i dont remember 3 from my childhood but its all so good. i remember once i got into xmen (i love all of the cross over runs and lee run so much cause its form my childhood) going back and getting the magik and wolverine mini and wolverine Miller/Claremont was SO BADASS!! that was the great part of the video...but...what an asshole whipping out all your whales here and then in fake casual voice "oh i forgot i got this one signed" dick!

@@NearMintCondition Fingers crossed

[@SnakeNel]

Omar, thank you very much for this one. I lost interest in X-men when Claremont left, and I didn't pick the books up again until the Grant Morrison and Joss Whedon runs. I've been a hit and miss reader since then, and the various Near Mint videos have rekindled my interest in the characters. So, I'm not really knowledgeable enough to criticize your various choices, BUT I definitely would have included the second Uncanny X-Men omnibus with the CLASSIC Claremont , Byrne and Austin run. I look forward to your eventual coverage of the various Avengers teams, which have exponentially grown in the last ten years or so. Have you covered the Ultimate X-Men OHCs? Also, I would really appreciate some Deadpool coverage, as I haven't been following the character at all, but I enjoyed both movies a lot.

[@NearMintCondition]

Erik Nelson my brother, it was hard to come up with a top 10 list. Uncanny 2 would have been number 11 for sure on my list. Avengers will be up on the poll for the next reading order. And I’d love to do an overview of Deadpool and where it all started.

[@henrydenry9508]

I think you shouldn’t do spoilers whenever your doing a top 10 list many new readers know absolutely jack shit about these books. Save the spoilers for when your doing a book review man. I got a buddy that just got into comics and he would find this video helpful if it didn’t have spoilers. Keep up the good work love the channel.

[@NearMintCondition]

This video is over three years old. I tell people now if I’m about to talk about spoilers or I keep it vague.

[@henrydenry9508]

@@NearMintCondition yes and you do warn people in this video as well. I’m just saying I think any top 10 type video should not have spoilers. Love the channel by the way. Picked up uncanny X-men vol 3 great recommendation!

[@MentalMa3ter]

Thank you so much for your list. I start my X-men comic journey because of your channel. Recently, I got Uncanny X men Omnibus vol.1 and 2, hope to finish before June. My next will be Age Of Apocalypse omnibus (I like Multiverse) and The fall of the Mutants Omnibus. Do you think I should finish Uncanny X men Omnibus vol.3 and 4, then go back to X-Men by Chris Claremont & Jim Lee Omnibus Vol.1 and 2, or do you have any suggestions? (I did check out your reading order but I am not planning to go thru everything)

[@joshualong6900]

Do another top ten video! Like top ten Absolute editions or editions that are absolute size but from other publishers! Those would be tits!

[@NearMintCondition]

I like that idea! Thank you, brother.

[@jeremyg371]

Yeah I loved the X-men growing up. Had some great ones when I was younger. Spent two hundred on sneakers this month got four or five pairs and that was with thirty dollars in amazon bucks I had. I'm kind of a fanatic in collecting shit, coins, stamps, sneakers, dvds, books, omnis, figures, watches, sunglasses,etc. So I spent two thousand on comics and decided it was time to switch to another hobby since my glasses weren't working and I couldn't read anything anyway. But just got a new pair of readers for like three hundred bucks and we will see if I start reading again, there's some pro's books I'd really like to hit like stephen king the gun slinger I still need to finish and harry potter series I got a few left and chronicles of conan book and so many more. Thx for the video I don't have most the books you mentioned their too expensive to get so anywho. Have a great day. My machine is yelling at me to take my pills time to go, later sir.

[@redveinborneo4673]

As a kid my dad got me a copy of the wolverine fatal attraction issue after he gets the ademantium ripped out with the hologram card on the cover. The images in that comic got seared into my memoru and i figured i should get the whole saga to see the images again and finally read the whole story. I got the wolverine omnibus that had that issue in it and now I'm realizing that it doesn't have the whole story in it. Balls.

I’ve got all those volumes of X-men on order from amazon cuz I feel deep down that as a comic fan I MUST own them. I’ve always collected X-men single issues throughout my life I HAD all those separate issues and I want to own them again. I wish that marvel tho had at least made the spines POP more. At least the wolverine omni it’s similar but at least they have a pic of wolverine on the side. The X-men omnis have a bland spline. Just like you I quit comics in the 90’s cuz I was OVERLOADED with X-men and 90’s comics in general. When I started again it was the same for me NEW X-MEN got me back in just like you. I collected one title every month and it was that book. I own X-men Legion Quest omni as well but could not get into it because of the art and the story wasn’t my cup of tea so to speak. As always you’re an inspiration Omar and love the video!!!!! ❤️

[@johnlindsay7301]

New X-Men was the first Z-Men book I read about ten years ago. I thought it was ok. Nothing great. In fact I really don’t remember hardly anything from it. Since then, over the past four years, I read a lot of the X-Men back catalogue, including Yncanny X-Men omnibuses 1-3, Mutant Massacre, Fatal Attractions, AvX, Bendis’s X-Men. Now I have a better sense of these characters and a great contextual understanding of the series, I just reread Morrison’s X-Men and wow is it so much better than I remember it. In fact I think it is amazing. Truly a brilliant book. When people say you don’t have to start with Chris Claremont’s X-Men if you’re not a fan of Bronze Age comics and find a newer series to start at, I think that is a mistake. You have to start with Giant Size X-Men to get the full experience. You learn so much of these characters from this point that you can never gain a full appreciation of them if you skip this point. At least this is how I feel now after going back and reading this run, especially doing so without having read too many X-Men stories prior to starting with Giant Sized.

Messiah Complex and the Joss Whedon ones are the only ones on this list I have never read. I think Joss Whedon omnibus is coming out next year though so if I have money maybe I can pick it up, though it's coming out at the same time as Uncanny X-Force so I've chosen to pre-order that instead. Out of the first 3 Claremont omnibuses, though, I agree that volume 3 is my favorite as well. Volume 1 has it's charm and there are a lot of good moments in there, and yeah, Volume 2 has most of Dark Phoenix Saga and Days of Future Past, but Volume 3 has the most good material out of all 3 of them. I was only 2 and 3 years old when these issues came out, but they're still really good. I also really love the Brood Saga even if it's not as iconic as the Dark Phoenix Saga or Days of Future Past.

You put jim lee vol.1 ahead of vol.2 how dare you LOL . id put MM jim lee vol.2 & the rest of my list constantly changes sometimes i read a book & like it more than the previous time & sometimes i like it less but does two are always cream of the crop

[@NearMintCondition]

Yeah for sure, brother. The outback years were my middle school years and it always reminds me of that time. and issues 268 and 269 and the Acts of Vengeance issues. Hell yeah!

[@jrox1904]

I feel the same about the jim lee vol. 2 material & the whole omega read & wolverine story that was my first real dose of x-men comics back in like 4th or 5th grade & jom lees art got me into collecting comic cards just so i can see different artist that would never work on interiors like boris, harris, jusko etc

[@NearMintCondition]

I love hearing that!!!! Stories like this.

[@jordanmellor5903]

Praying for that Uncanny X-Men Volume 3 reprint, it still hurts my soul I can’t find it over here

[@NearMintCondition]

It will come, just give it some time.

[@robertmccauley8366]

I miss OLD Jae Lee artwork especially when used a TON of ink and reminded my of Simon bisley or Bill Sienkivch( you know who I mean lol) in the middle of Hellshock mini he switched styles very artsy (still dark sure) but everyone’s looks like Gerard way from my chemical romance, sickly weak and frail..... heroin involved possibly.

[@NearMintCondition]

Did you like his art in Dark Tower? When its colored by Richard Isanove.

[@robertmccauley8366]

Near Mint Condition I did actually, but even that got tiring after a bit but I will always miss his older art style .

[@juliuscepeda9655]

Hi Omar, do you the X-Men vol. 1 will ever be reprinted?

[@NearMintCondition]

I think it will one day.

[@ZOMBIELUIS666]

Fall of the Mutants HC is at my local Half Priced Books but its 150 bucks! I'm really tempted to buy it since the X-Men milestones line has been out and we are unlikely to get a reprint of the hardcover ;___;

[@NearMintCondition]

bleh. I hate those stores. Half Price, my ass! I'm thinking the next one they do will be either Fall of the Mutants or Inferno.

[@ZOMBIELUIS666]

@@NearMintCondition lol that was my reaction exactly! I think I am gonna wait didn't look like it was in the best condition anyways. Some poor bastard looked like they dumped their whole collection of X-Men HC's there were a shitload of different ones some of which are out of print.

[@starstudio8402]

Nice

[@NearMintCondition]

Very nice

[@sebastianstark8517]

Very late to this party, but volume 3 is also my favorite for the exact same reason as you. I started reading "X-men" with those issues and those memories are indelible now. Great stuff.

[@NearMintCondition]

Yes!!

[@Grimlock987]

The memories. Dag! So many memories...

[@danebarrett237]

Age of apocalypse omnibus brought back some trauma... I practically killed myself trying to get all these issues... And I did it. All gone now, but...

[@NearMintCondition]

I used to collect the singles too. I can't remember if I ended up selling them all or not. That is why I have collected editions on the bookshelves.

[@tannerheslet5347]

Collected editions are so much better than single issues. Better paper, better binding, no advertisements, they look better on a shelf and on display, and it keeps the story nice and neat together. I’ll never buy another individual issue again.

[@tasan215]

Top 10/Comprehensive reading order of the Avengers please!

[@NearMintCondition]

You got it. I added it to the poll.

[@MisterX867]

What is the best way to keep track of when Marvel decides to reprint an omni?

[@NearMintCondition]

I use the hachette catalog to do some fishing.

[@tapsilogic]

Crazy how several books in this video have been reprinted since it came out. Still holding out hope for a Fatal Attractions rebrand/reprint!

[@streetfighteralpha9891]

Does the omnibus title add anything I don’t know about? Or do we just like things to match on the spine? I found Fatal Attractions in a comic shop near me and picked it up, but no omnibus branding.

[@tapsilogic]

@@streetfighteralpha9891 Unless the new edition has new content or is remapped, it doesn't. I don't know about who "we" is but mismatched spines don't bother me at all. I singled out Fatal Attractions (could have been Bishop's Crossing or Shattershot) because it's been long out of print - you're lucky to find a copy in the wild that's close to cover price.

[@streetfighteralpha9891]

@@tapsilogic Thanks. I really wasn’t sure, but was curious since Near Mint mentioned it in the video and so did you. “We” as in we collectors was what I meant. lol The shop only charged me cover price for it thankfully. There’s a few I want that I just missed so I’ll have to pay more for those I’m sure.

[@macc.1132]

Wow, no Uncanny X-Men #1 or #2 in your listing.

[@NearMintCondition]

Volume 3 or bust. 1 would probably number 12 though :)

[@purplerain225]

I'm waiting for Amazon to ship out Astonishing X-men since I was too late for direct market orders. Hopefully in the next week or so.

[@NearMintCondition]

Let me know if you do.

[@purplerain225]

@@NearMintCondition Will do, so far it hasn't been rescheduled.

[@purplerain225]

I got my copy of Astonishing X-men by Whedon and its hard to put down almost through it. Worth every penny. That shipping was terrible though no protection got a replacement coming in ASAP.
