I was also a huge X-Men fan during the 90s, and I felt the same way - just having enough money to get the latest issue of X-Men meant so much. Even if it wasn't the greatest issue, I'd re-read the comic several times because those characters meant the world to me as a kid.

[@warrenweaver6664]

I pre-ordered Bishops Crossing just waiting for it to get to me Can’t wait

[@greendaleforever]

SO happy to be adding Blood of Apocalypse as that pretty much completes my X-Men collection that I want until the inevitable Uncanny 5 omni :)

[@Kalel0042]

I hope you're right about Omni 5. I really want them to start filling in the remaining holes in the X books.

[@greendaleforever]

@@Kalel0042 the way I see it, Vol. 5 fills in that last gap of the classic Claremont era with oversized art and with 2023 being a HUGE anniversary year for the X-Men (60th) it's pretty much guaranteed at this point

[@chriswing7466]

Ahh, Omar! Listening to you talk so lovingly about Bishop's Crossing has taken me right back. We're about the same age (I'm a little older, I think), and I was reading these comics back then, but I knew literally no-one else who read comics (I'm in the UK). Listening to your reminisces makes the kid in me feel not as alone in his appreciation for these awesome books back in the day. 🙂

[@DrSax45]

I liked what you said about your mom and the XMen comic. My father took his first pastor position when I was little. In order to help the people around we made sacrifices. Ended up living in the back of the church. Never complained. My dad was a good man. The closest school was an upper class school. Got picked on a lot. My mom saw this and so did my dad. They bought me the subscription to the XMen outback years and that helped me out so much. Thanks again for your story brother. Brought up some good memories

[@mattthompson3371]

I'm so glad you do these every week. Man, I love listening to you talk about these stories and where you were. It takes me back too. Thank you Omar for what you do.

[@toeknee1505]

I'm definitely going to get the X-Men Bishop's Crossing Epic Collection! Thanks Omar for the review!!!

[@stephentheshywarrior2759]

Great Job sir. Needed to know your thoughts on this era of X-Men ha ha. Never read most of the bishops crossing era.

[@stephentheshywarrior2759]

If I decide to go further Would X cutioner song a good stopping point in X-Men? Plus yeah please do a video on X-Men epics.😁

[@nicktroisi6347]

I cannot wait to read that Epic Collection Carnage book. I’ve heard phenomenal things about Maximum Carnage storyline and I cannot wait to read it. The artwork and writing look amazing

[@nivekleveb8872]

The issues in that Doctor Strange Masterworks are so good. This Masterwork and the previous volume are some of my favorite DS comics. Great stuff and I highly recommend it.

[@ReaperXC]

Crazy that terrible period of x men sells so well they’ll finish it off but DC won’t do PAD Supergirl or Aquaman.

[@sazmurph540]

Anytime I think of Maximum Carnage, I think of the game. I had the red cartridge for the SNES! The Psylock panel was one I drooled over back in the day. I'm also picking up the Dr. Strange MMW as I love Paul Smith's art. I wish he had decided to do more in comics.

[@MyFacepalm]

Do we know yet if Excalibur will get omnibuses to complete the run, or could they stop with Claremont?

[@samjones4419]

Love your work Omar :) Looking forward to the X-Men Epic and Dr Strange Masterworks volume arriving soon.

[@ssi-ruuk9396]

Out of curiosity how do we know that the epic collection line will end? They have been making some epics that go into the 90's now. I always assumed that its something that could go on forever.

[@bungleist1]

Actually there are three epics that go into the early 00s, namely Wolverine Epics 12 & 13 and X-Force Epic 8, and those books don't even complete those volumes of the titles. My personal assumption is that they'll stop at Onslaught for the titles which end there (e.g. Avengers, Captain America, Fantastic Four, Iron Man, and Thor), and for others that carried on after Onslaught they'll stop at the end of that volume (e.g. Daredevil, Hulk, Silver Surfer, and the X-Men-related books). One possible exception is Spider-Man, as AMS Epic 26 leads into the eleven Clone Saga & Ben Reilly Complete Epics so it's unclear if Marvel will rebrand those as AMS Epics 27-37 at some point. There's also enough material at least three more AMS Epics after the Complete Epics, so that line could potentially go up to Epic 40 or even beyond!

[@ssi-ruuk9396]

@@bungleist1 i also know the star wars legends epic collections are more modern. but imo they are kind of a different thing. the question ig i have now is what comes after the epic line?

[@belowzeros]

the anecdote about your mom made me tear up, how dare you sir!

[@guillermomaldonado6277]

"Don't you see Pikachu?" 🤣🤣

[@tom3151]

I am debating if I should get the X-Men epic collection as I don't know when the OHC will get reprinted or if they make a Omni. My copy of Excalibur epic, daredevil by Zdarsky vol 2 and X-Men volume 2 arrived today so I can't wait to start reading them daredevil has been one of my favourite titles of the past few years

[@bungleist1]

It's X-Men. There'll be an omni at some point :) (There's been at least one brand new* UXM vol. 1 omni in 2020, 2021, and 2022, so things are looking good for 2023!) * Okay so Fall of the Mutants is technically a reprint, but still ;)

[@GabrielLopez-gg2mv]

My dear Omar. Great video as always. From this video I am looking for X-Men Epic Collection. Great way to map the story as you said. I wish they could have done the same for all Spider-Man titles under one Epic title. Thanks for sharing with us what your mother did around 30 years ago, uff! If I could share stories like that I remember My father and my mother doing the same for this person. Thank You! Take care.

[@arthurwoo6082]

I'm only a few years older than you Omar (4 i think?) but everything you mentioned about Bishops Crossing Epic is exactly the same for me as i grew up in that era as well. So many fond memories during this time and so much yes on it all. I was not going to get that Epic since I own in other formats already but to get it in Epic also ackkk may have to reconsider! Thanks for the review and look back.

[@andyapsay8220]

Nice!

[@Rodimusprimerib]

Finally will own a copy of bishops crossing as the OhC os super expensive! Gotta love 90’s XMen!

[@jrox1904]

Wen I first read this x-men storys the art was amazing & I had no idea who Chris Claremont was back then but I love the Omega Red story line

[@Krypton_Ken]

I'm glad that Marvel is continuing the Excalibur epics into the late 90s, figure I'll collect it in omni format through Alan Davis' run and get Lobdell, Ellis, and Raab's runs in the epics. Wish they'd start releasing the post Byrne Alpha Flight in the epic collection as well. Tempted to get that X-Men Bishop's Crossing epic but I have hopes they'll re-release the hc as an expanded omni eventually. Maybe they'll combine it with X-Cutioner's Song or Shattershot.

[@ge3045]

Need the Stern Dr. Strange in an omnibus

[@joshwatts7540]

i am here commenting for the algorithm, good luck getting organized if you see this omar

[@eagleal]

I loved the X-Men books of that era too Omar, near on perfect apart from no Chris Claremont. Portacio and Lee with Thibert and Williams is still a fantastic run of comics to look at even now. Don't yet have the Claremont and Lee omnibus books, but I do have Bishops Crossing as a hardcover. However this'll be worth picking for all that great content in one book. Fancy the Carnage one too actually, I have his first appearance and have read some of the Maximum Carnage bits but not all of those comics.

[@tom3151]

Oh I need to get that X-Men by Peter Milligan I already have volume 1

[@TheDrunkestSailor]

I hope we get a Doctor Strange omnibus Vol.3 with that MM material. Not sure if that second omni selling well, but DS is popping off on the screen.

[@thiagodepaula6738]

Me too! I would love to get a third volume!

[@BiblicalCinematicUniverse]

RE: Carnage Vol. 1- Spider-man doppelganger came from Infinity War, not Infinity Crisis! lol

[@vincentimbesi3947]

I can’t wait to get my copy of the MMW Dr Strange book!!😍

[@Haynombredisponible]

Any news on UXM Omnibus vol. 5?

[@Laptop-fy8xv]

i notice Mojo is in XM epic #20. is it a necessary read before reading XM Epic #21?

[@bigstewinorlando7059]

Can't wait to get this Dr. Strange run in an Omnibus

[@vincentimbesi3947]

Same here, but I have to get the Masterwork copy for now. Who knows if it’ll ever be in an omnibus!

[@bigstewinorlando7059]

@@vincentimbesi3947 I understand... I just want Everything in Oversized Hardcovers lol 😅😆

[@jrox1904]

Great to see that excalibur epic collection on there . I wonder why they didn't go in chronological order either way I belive that's 4 out of 9

[@thepartworkscomicsreader9488]

This is the fifth one to release, first four did go chronologically but that's hardly a given with Epics. The Sword is Drawn has a reprint coming up, hope we also see The Cross Time Caper again as that one's getting pricey.

[@lewishutchison6174]

Masterworks and X Men epic for me!

[@travelandfestivals]

How much do the venom and carnage epic collections have in common?

[@Indycowboy2]

Buy the Carnage Epic or wait for Venom Vol 3? I have the first 2 volumes of venom but don't want to wait 5 years

[@psi-judgesanderson6983]

Is the material from the carnage epic included in the Spider-Man Vs venom Omni?

[@graintrain1284]

Yes Maximum Carnage is in the second half of it

[@MaddMountains]

I have the opportunity to buy Bishop's Crossing hardcover for a decent (ish) price, but I can pick up the epic collection at about a third of the cost of the hardcover. Should I just get the epic collection or go for broke and get the OHC?

[@aliglesias9574]

All those epics 🥵🥵🥵

[@DevilzFan]

Hmm. Everything I've seen shows Bishop's Crossing as releasing next week.

[@bigstewinorlando7059]

Big Thanks Omar for Another Great Uncanny Video 👍😃💜

[@endc3043]

I know I don't need carnage epic collection, I've got it collected in other formats but ..lol.. there it is, I ordered myself a copy..🤣🤣🤣 what can I say its a classic badass story line...🤘🤘🤘

[@dirtyguava8209]

Does the Born in Blood epic collection have issues from the Venom Spirits of Vengeance epic collection? Not sure as I don’t want to double dip for the Carnage Epic Collection.

[@NearMintCondition]

Just the 3 issue intro to carnage.

Nothing for me here this week but algorithms :)

[@FanaticalFootballFan]

Any chance you can talk to the lovely people over at DC and see if they can reprint Batman Knightfall Volume 3 omnibus? I really don’t want to pay $400 for a out of print book. 😭😭😭

[@andrewsilva7635]

Family ❤️👏🏻❤️

[@saintcarreyett]

You made a bit of an error referencing Infinite Crisis in regards to Spider-Man and Doppleganger.

[@NearMintCondition]

Good catch! No-Prize for you. :)

[@Gondonr]

Hoping we get guardians of the galaxy epics and alien epics.

[@bungleist1]

The original run of Guardians has already been collected in complete collection type books: Guardians of the Galaxy by Jim Valentino volumes 1-3 and Guardians of the Galaxy Classic: In the Year 3000 volumes 1-3, which are all still available at fairly decent prices. These books are a bit smaller than typical Epics (312 to 376 pages), so I guess it could potentially be squeezed into four Epics.

[@needfoolthings]

Please take this criticism constructively: you use the term "this particular" instead of just "this" approximately 30 times in a 20 minute video. I had to get this out because there are videos that are hard to listen to for me. There. It's out.
