The designers hit it out of the park on this one.

[@TheComicBookReport]

Seriously gorgeous dust jacket

[@sergiofreitas441]

Best ongoing series of the 2000's. Gail rules!

[@mflohr74]

On sale for 50% off currently on IST

[@DBZALLSTAR]

This contains a stellar set of stories, and I am grateful to finally have it in an oversized format. This was a great review, Omar, and I am sure we cannot wait for a second volume!

[@Yiguirro]

This is def a must get Omnibus! As somebody who had the singles, trades, fat trades, and now the Omni. DC and the creators put so much love and extras into this book. I’m hoping it sells well that we get more curated omnis with creators so the omnis feel like definitive editions.

[@theomnibusprime4046]

Great overview, hope this leads to a Suicide Squad Omni in the future, especially a John Ostrander run.

[@Carlos-xz3vi]

That’s a beautifully looking spine.

[@Owlzindabarn]

I remember really enjoying all the stories in this volume. I don't think I need an Omnibus, but I recommend this material to anyone who hasn't read it.

[@OmniNationComics]

One of the most beautifully designed Omni’s I’ve ever seen ! I’ve been waiting for this one. I REALLY hope we get her Birds of Prey run the omni treatment as well. Well done overview Omar ! Loved hearing your excitement for this run. 🤘🏾

[@TheComicBookReport]

Was waiting for this one! Thanks as always Omar!

[@heneedsomemilk9267]

Recently read INFINTE CRISIS and loved their issues. Just ordered this. Very excited to read

[@Chandasouk]

Victoria's Secret Six y'all!

[@sazmurph540]

I loved the original Villains United limited series but never read the follow ups so I'm looking forward to getting this omni and reading it straight through. Who knew Catman was so cool?

[@garyfoster65]

Mine arrived this afternoon. Looks great - really looking forward to it.

[@tylerjc1000]

Yes!! One of the best looking omnibus.

[@Mr.Kow5000]

Great preview, Omar! I’ve been waiting for this Omni since devouring the run in real time. The character work Gail Simone did with Bane here is 💋

[@litewait633]

Aesthetically this is the best DC comics OHC since the AE of Superman for All Seasons. Wonderful design.

[@vincentimbesi3947]

I’m so happy to see this finally released! I’ve ordered my copy and it’s on the way. 👍🏼

[@Dumballa]

Happy day Omar! They did this one right. 😁

[@nozkaian]

I don't know this book and it's contents, but I didn't see an awesome looking spine art like this in a long time.

[@gazzhammer5924]

Mine came today can't wait to read.

[@warrenweaver6664]

Definitely going to get this

[@robertmccauley8366]

It’s gorgeous

[@drewanderson6039]

Thanks for the overview, Omar! Pity about the mixed-up order of the BoP issues and the mini, that’s a shame. Still looks like a great book, though! Just so we know, is there a text page or anything summarizing the relevant issues of Checkmate and Salvation Run? (Taking place between the BoP storyline and the Secret Six ongoing.) While not written by Gail Simone, they do cover Scandal’s reaction to the conclusion of the BoP issues, and are extremely important to understanding the grudge Deadshot bears toward Amanda Waller that’ll pop up in a hypothetical second Secret Six omni. I know the full issues (understandably) aren’t included, but hopefully DC at least put in a text summary.

[@alancooper6443]

I put it on my wishlist.

[@ChrisFranklin-ls4fz]

I would love a video on P. Craig Russell's Elric comics. Wonder if they'll ever do an omni. I'm curious about those because I love that artist but don't have those books.

[@angelohernandez6060]

But now...Damn!!! Now gotta wait for a Vol. 2!!!!

[@psi-judgesanderson6983]

Great overview. Im still on the fence. I already have infinite crisis omni, is it worth a double dip? Is this collection really that good?

[@TheUnstoppableBar]

If I’m not mistaken, Infinite Crisis only contains Villains United which is a mini series. The omnibus also collects the ongoing that started after the mini series. It’s 100% worth getting.

[@psi-judgesanderson6983]

@@TheUnstoppableBar Cheers Bar. I'll probably get it and give it a shot 👍

[@kawaiihaki2480]

@@psi-judgesanderson6983 correct the omni collects much more than what was in infinite crisis, as i am on the opposite end i dont have infinite crisis yet i have secret six, and im still planning on getting infinite crisis.

[@sleekdeak]

I hope the response to this is strong enough for a DAY OF VENGEANCE/SHADOWPACT omnibus!

[@kevingriffin3628]

It wouldn't be a DC omnibus without them screwing up the mapping in some way. They did the same with Death Metal (the secret origins issue) & the question vol. 2( The Question & Green arrow annuals before Question #28). They always do it.

[@allsome1o1]

I just finished reading Thunderbolts Red and loved it. Do you think I would like this if I liked that?

[@kevinvendt5948]

As I have all the trades of this series, I am still on the fence about getting this one.

[@swisherlife]

Wooooh

[@kawaiihaki2480]

this is an awesome omnibus and im glad to own it, but the pages are super low quality on this for a DC omni. they really thin and feel super flimsy. its not the end of the world, but really disappointed to see DC lowering their paper quality, and maybe they've done this before this omni but every single other DC omni i have has REALLY nice quality pages. except this one.

[@slop101]

Omar, get your hand out of the way, I'm trying to look at the book!

[@NearMintCondition]

I’ll use the force next time.

[@brianmeenan1971]

Was there not a Volume one of secret six as it starts with s2 and then s3

[@tylerjc1000]

What is going to be in volume 2 besides the remaining 20 issues of Secret Six?

[@ghostatno1]

The N52 run i would assume, maybe that one BoP issue with catman (without the rest of the secret six) in there as well?

[@TheWisestWizards]

Spine of the year.

[@CarlosDias-er6dd]

When will you announce the ROM Omnibus winner?

[@NearMintCondition]

Saturday

[@josephdubois1385]

This is one of the hardest designs ive seen in a minute. Really cool too since they been slacking on the design department imo compared to marvel.

[@TheUnstoppableBar]

DC had been slacking compared to Marvel? Marvel has some of the worst and most boring dust jacket designs I’ve ever seen. I always thought that Marvel should learn from DC when it comes to designing the dust jackets. Those black & white spines are super boring.

[@matthewpounder9938]

Prefer a collection of the original Secret Six.

[@angelohernandez6060]

Yeah, Bane was never my favorite. Always found him one dimensional and pretty much a boring waste of comic space. But this Bane turns out to probably be my favorite character in this book. And he's never been written this way again. What a shame.

[@ianfaulkner8674]

It’s a double dip and badly mapped, but I got it anyway

[@ianfaulkner8674]

@@Elijahhagood watch the vid… all covered by Omar

[@brianmeenan1971]

Only a few issues double dip.

[@angelohernandez6060]

The only Gail Simone title I will ever read. And it's a great read. Read it back when it first came out and was totally infatuated with all the personalities in the book. And finally I don't have to dig out the originals to reread it. Because I will, repeatedly. It's that good. It's just too bad Gail Simone also has a big mouth when it comes to her woke opinions. That's why S.S. will be the only story I read of hers.

[@NearMintCondition]

If I cared about what any of my favorite writers say I wouldn’t read half of what I do. lol brother, you are missing out on her Birds of Prey and Red Sonja.

[@Carlos-xz3vi]

“This is the only Gail Simone title I will read”….😂🤡.

[@ivandark95]

When Gail Simone was a good writing .

[@simon9146]

Judging from your comment, she is a far better writer you could ever hope to be.

[@ivandark95]

@@simon9146 oh my god she last work suck pure cringe and I hope she don’t destroyed the x men this next July .

@@simon9146 oh yes a great writing who insult is fans and mocked them and destroyed historical comics figure it s very difficult to be better to this woman .

[@collectingmemoriesyt]

​@ivandark95 What "historical characters" (whatever that means) did she destroy, exactly?

[@BLACKLODGEREVIEWS]

I'm guessing all of you are having trouble to understand Ivandark is because maybe English is not his Mother Languague. (It's not mine either so i get the grammatical mistakes he's making)
