OmniDog's Vault: Comics: Books that Pack An Emotional Punch

[@joelatorre]

First I would like to say that I don’t post often on the comments section, but wanted to let you know that I enjoy this channel as well as watching you and company on omnibros live. I really appreciate your take and opinions on books of this great hobby. I have 5 of these books you mentioned and I couldn’t agree more how these books can pull you in emotionally. Great video 👍

[@OmnidogsVault]

thank you so much! It really means a lot to me that you watch these vids!

[@sugarray6250]

Daytripper was so amazing it makes you really appreciate life and want to live life to the fullest.

[@OmnidogsVault]

Well said!!

The one that recently left me a mess at the end was Superman Shazam! First Thunder. I bought the trade at a great price some years ago. It didn't look all that promising, but had me suggesting it to others after the first read back then. Re-read it recently and the last panels had a seemingly cathartic impact on me. I've also discovered there's a DC Deluxe Edition of it out there, and now hope to get an OHC version of it; warts and all.

[@OmnidogsVault]

oh great! Thanks so much for suggesting that!! I haven't read it

[@jonny9884]

May not work the same on you, some have critiqued it for some of the art work, but I've enjoyed it enjoyed it each time I read it.

[@readittwice]

I am a comic book newbie and I devour books - up-to 100 per year and I 've just discovered comics so I really appreciate all the efforts to keep it spoiler-free. Love all your videos and knowledge.

[@OmnidogsVault]

thank you so much!

[@BrianK_70]

Great video and topic. Off the top of my head a few others that tug on the heart are the end of Fear Agent and Y the Last Man. The story that gets me every single time I read it though is Amazing Spider-Man #248, The Kid Who Collects Spider-Man.

[@OmnidogsVault]

OH YEAH! How could I forget that one?!

[@babylonshadows1877]

Just finished Sweet Tooth. This was my first time reading it and it's my first book by this writer. Long story short, its currently on my top 3 comics ever (alongside Sandman and Locke and Key). I have never read a better post apocalyptic story. The end is both incredibly satisfying and heartwrenching. The whole story felt like an honest passion project. I cannot wait to read more stories by Jeff Lemire. Next up: Black Hammer. Sorry for the long post Jess.

[@OmnidogsVault]

Thank you for the post, I really appreciate it! And I loved Black Hammer too!

[@jakenap7184]

You should check out Essex County, The Underwater Welder And Royal City too

@@jakenap7184 one at the time lol thanks to Jess and Omar I have a back log of reading material longer than most peoples school debt lol I'm new to comics (was mainly reading manga) so I have a lot of catching up to do.

[@bertmeer]

[@tyronekane1]

Saw the stack of books on the thumbnail and had to give an automatic like

[@prezveckster5348]

Thanks for doing my suggestion definitely going to give some of these a read

[@OmnidogsVault]

Thanks for the suggestion!!

[@TheInfiniteDraw]

The very first issue of Batman Rebirth still chokes me up, when Batman is on the plane trying to redirect it, and the conversation he has with Alfred, knowing he's about to die.

[@OmnidogsVault]

oooo, that's a good one too!

[@Cropsykills]

Superman: Birthright kicked me so hard in the feels that when I think about the final few pages, it still chokes me up. I wish they would release that in Absolute edition

[@OmnidogsVault]

Cropsykills brilliant book!!

[@rafaelfalcon5129]

Omnidog let me say that I love your videos. Also, you had helped me a lot in selecting what graphic novels I should read.next, and which ones not to read. For a while now I have been looking forward to start reading "Oz" by marvel, but the limited reviews found on KZbin had not helped, and there is not reviws about the Oz omnibus ( which I noted you got). My question is. Can you do a video review/overview of the Oz series and omnibus by marvel in the near future?.

[@OmnidogsVault]

sure, I've been wanting to review that for a while!

[@wyattstonhouse9648]

Y the last was a touching story to me. Completely agree with sweet tooth and blankets

[@OmnidogsVault]

Y is a good choice!

[@jamesd4695]

finished sweet tooth a few days ago; fantastic.

[@Seasonal-Shadow_4674]

Could you do a video on ones that are upbeat that aren’t emotionally gut punching that are upbeatand Silver age reminiscent (like Waid’s DD)???

[@OmnidogsVault]

hmmm, I'll have to give that some real thought! The Silver Surfer Omnibus in this video is like that, it just has an ending that made me tear up

[@BrianK_70]

Definitely the Slott/Allred Silver Surfer.

[@trivious]

I’ll have to check out daytripper :)

[@surfpunx6459]

Great video and even better recommendations! I love you channel and def have some books to check out now! Are you also able to confirm new members to the omnibus collecting group on Facebook? I learned a lot it from your channel and want to join to get in on the collecting side of things and sell what I got. I’m just waiting for confirmation right now from an admin

[@OmnidogsVault]

I'll check the list and approve you!

Ever read Sculptor by Scott McCloud?

[@OmnidogsVault]

yeah I have, that one twist is a real shocker

[@Morpheus112]

I would add Maus, Epilepsy by David B and Persepolis.

[@OmnidogsVault]

I need to read Epilepsy but I agree on the other 2

[@InstrumentalArtistry]

Omnidog, do you think that Silver Surfer Omnibus will be reprinted anytime soon? I missed out on both this and X-Statix.

[@OmnidogsVault]

InstrumentalArtistry I was very surprised this sold out as quickly as it did! I think they’ll re-release this in trade paperbacks, like complete collections. Then around 2022 they’ll put out an omni. To coincide with the movie they’ve just announced! Those are my best guesses, I think trades will happen. Maybe a live action on Disney + will happen too! But trades definitely.

[@InstrumentalArtistry]

@@OmnidogsVault Thank you for the speedy reply! I think that you are spot on. It's always great when a comic book has wonderful artwork AND a good story. I guess I will have to keep on the lookout for when those trades or reprints happen. You do an awesome job on your channel. Keep up the great work!
