This overview was so cool, that it made me buy a copy.

[@DorkSideStudio]

Well, looks like we are going to need that Journey into Mystery Omni reprinted.

[@manoitin2208]

Yes please, just like JMS Thor including Gillens run

[@guillermomaldonado6277]

That "Galactus seed" storyline is one of my all-time favorites 👍👍

[@himathegreat2987]

Odin confronting Galactus was my favourite moment of that storyline

[@guillermomaldonado6277]

@@himathegreat2987 of course, absolutely epic moment

[@jaredsrananman6642]

Really enjoy your content. I literally don't purchase an omnibus without checking your video on it first! Thank you.

[@Dumballa]

My god that's how you make a book. It's beautiful, looks like a perfect gutter. Colors are so fresh and vibrant 😀

[@anthonyufert8477]

I ended up getting the standard cover. I’m hoping Marvel will reprint JMS’s Thor but make it an expanded edition & include Gillen’s stuff so that it’ll line up with this omnibus.

[@sugarray6250]

Yeah, we definitely need JMS's run reprinted.

[@manoitin2208]

It was pretty high on the reprint poll

[@timothywall64]

Yep. Your prediction is correct. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGrRioV_jLZpbbM

[@anthonyufert8477]

@@timothywall64 it was awesome news this morning! Marvel really seems to pay attention to the annual reprint list done by Omar.

[@mjcook3922]

What a gorgeous omnibus. That epic looking art and cool cover might make it a worthwhile pickup alone.

[@Almighty_Mage]

Just when I thought I could take a week off from buying comics Omar strikes again!

[@gqd1975]

Looking forward to this. I would also buy an expanded Thor by JMS / Gillen and Loki omnibus by Gillen.

[@BowmansWorld]

Just finished fractions run. It was incredible. Dont care what anyone says. And his ages of thunder one shots are some of the best thor stories ever told.

[@vincentimbesi3947]

I’m glad to hear you say that. I was planning to pick it up, but some of the negative comments were making me change my mind.

[@Justegarde]

100% agree. Ages of Thunder is super underrated.

[@cv9340]

do you need to get Jason Aaron's work after this to continue the story, or does it end?

[@Justegarde]

@@cv9340 Haven't read Aaron's run, but from what I understand it starts a new chapter that is not a direct continuation from this era.

[@BowmansWorld]

@@cv9340 fractions run has an ending. And then aarons is a brand new jumping on point. Helps to know what happened in the jms run and seige that happened prior to fractions.

[@chibiloki]

Thanks for the overview. Really looking forward to reading this one.

[@michaelemond7315]

Odin is the Godfather!? "Leave the Gun(gnir Spear of Heaven), take the cannoli."

[@NearMintCondition]

Hahahaha

[@joyroy82]

OMG this has gorgeous art .. i was gonna pass this omnibus... but now i think i have to get it

[@blakeandjerrison219]

Can't wait to get this! Coipel is a beast!

[@vincentimbesi3947]

Great overview! I’m really looking forward to picking this up now!

[@dadp12780]

Great review as usual! A must for your modern Thor collection.

[@FrankCastlesConscience]

Ok so hang on: “Thor by Matt Fraction”…but includes some issues written by other writers? Good! Now can Marvel stop this ridiculous thing where an entire run (of many creator led omnis) are missing a few issues because its written by someone else? 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@jocool7370]

You got my vote!

[@Spartan_83]

This is why I stopped buying a lot of omnibuses. I only buy complete runs.

[@Alvarakk]

Fantastic to see all the extras in the back - full page covers with no trade dress!

[@jonnyneverland5276]

I am very happy about this release. Several years ago I decided to try to collect every Thor series in collected editions but I had never read this run (stopped buying floppies after JMS left the book) and I was confused about how to collect it because of all of the events. I ended up not getting any of it. I hoped an omnibus might happen one day and now it is finally here. I own the JMS Omni but I would absolutely buy an expanded reprint with the Gillen issues that picked up where he left off. For honor! For glory! For Asgard!

[@davematthews8512]

I just picked this up. Looking forward to reading it.

[@Krypton_Ken]

Haven't read this run, might have to pick it up. It's cool that they included the Fear Itself stuff.

[@johnnieriot13]

Definitely picking this up, great review as always. Best Actual book review/comparison channel period. Some channels review the stories. This channel mostly does the book themselves. Which I love. (Though you guys do stories as well,which is great) Can’t remember are we getting the JMS Thor omni?

[@xposhboyx]

Prefect timing for me, I was just getting ready to do a Fear Itself-era reading across all the main Marvel titles.

[@djsuth7727]

Just noticed that there is a spelling mistake on the dustjacket - should be Olivier not Olvier. Oops !

[@oswaldoreyes9066]

The artwork is absolutely amazing. Beautiful.I am definitely buying this book . I just need to find out where to start this amazing story.

[@thegreenlaser215]

They spelled Olivier wrong on the cover and spine by leaving out the first "i" and just putting Olvier. They have it correct on the credits pages.

[@ReaperXC]

Now we need the JMS/Gillen omnibus please

[@willvill7991]

This was not on my radar, but damn that art looks amazing! I might have to squeeze this one into my June purchases. 🤔

[@slop101]

Dammit. Another book I didn't know I needed!

[@MastermindAXL]

Appreciate the review, brother! I'm not picking this one up (Thor doesn't interest me as much as other Marvel characters), but I'm glad for the ones that are!

[@Havok1718]

Hell yea got to get this one

[@joshuatehhonguan]

Odin Godfather, making us offers we can't refuse from here till Ragnarok. 😄 Thanks for the overview, Omar, this book looks mighty enticing!

[@TheYoungWolfI]

Damn it dude! Now I need to buy this.

[@ReaperXC]

Got mine last week!

[@keenanhaynes6805]

Hope mine comes by next week

[@hamzadawud]

I wasn't gonna get this one because I've heard the run isn't very good, but hey, screw it. I have (I think) every other Thor Omni so far, so there's no point in skipping one. Also, good job on pronouncing "Olivier Coipel" correctly throughout the video. Finally, you did it!

[@djsuth7727]

That was my thinking too. Have everything else, so why not ?

[@needfoolthings]

No, it's not Olivier. It's Oliver and thus pronounced differently.

[@hamzadawud]

@@needfoolthings Incorrect, you can google his name.

[@needfoolthings]

@@hamzadawud Good god, I had a little confirmatiin bias there. Did google, you're correct.

[@siriactuallysara]

I didn’t have interest in this book until I saw it also collects fear itself so now I’m watching your video and I’ll see from your overview. I did want to catch the fear itself story I never read.

[@UncleSteve94]

Which cover y’all ordering? I like the color of this one more but I dig the drawing of Thor on the DM cover. I’m torn.

[@theweeze1922]

I have a very strong feeling this will sell out

[@robertday4390]

A beautiful looking book, I will be interested in checking out the paper stock after a few disappointing recent releases. I wonder if a Marvel omni would look any better if they used the same printers DC does? (Would probably cost a bit more I guess.)

[@thatsupernick9686]

I have my copy of this on the way and am SO excited for the artwork!!! So you were saying reading the JMS run on Thor is good to do before reading this one, correct? Can the Omnibus for this run be found easily these days, or is it getting a reprint? Really wanna get my Thor on

[@georgefeliu2383]

Sold me on the book.

[@rufiohaspan]

I think I’m gonna get dare devil by Ed brubaker instead this week, but if copies are still around of this , I’ll get it later

[@drderrickchua]

Would be a great help if you show us the covers of which tpbs we can retire after getting this one, aside from the 4 that you have and did.

[@CS11]

Hopefully gonna get Jason Aaron’s thor and if i enjoy that I’ll make my way back to something like this

[@marklapage167]

Hopefully this will lead to his Iron Man omnibus

[@armandosaldana1729]

Looking at this one and the Brubaker DD volume, it seems Marvel is using the logos on the spines again (instead of the smaller fonts)

[@hellothere5094]

OMAR are you going to do a live stream to do a live reaction of the sandman trailer? It just released.

[@JustJerryPodcast]

Which thor omnibus has ragnarok? Love your videos always amazing

[@nathanboult4873]

In my humble opinion this omni was top notch right up until after 'fear itself'. After that it was a struggle to get through.

[@douglasfunkroy2038]

Omar, is there a jms omnibus for thor?

[@mfolwell]

It looks like they mispelled Coipel's name on both the front cover and spine. It should be "Olivier", not "Olvier".

[@NearMintCondition]

I didn’t even catch that.

[@jamesedge8605]

Omar, did you notice that Olivier Coipel's name is misspelt on the dust jacket?

[@NMan40]

Good call. I just noticed someone on the MMW forum mentioning this.

[@rickbullard]

Wake me up when Marvel decides to finally release a Matt Fraction Iron Man Omnibus. They never even finished the larger format hardcovers from all those years ago.

[@mattthompson3371]

Bleh!

[@robd1329]

It wasnt good

[@jocool7370]

Is this the whole Fraction run, or is it just a fraction of it?

[@djsuth7727]

It's a Matt fraction ....

[@needfoolthings]

Fractionally important cuz it's not very good.

[@Gradz_M]

Read the Jason Aaron run recently. Which is better? I haven’t read Matt Fraction’s and I’m interested, art work looks awesome!

[@NearMintCondition]

For me aaron.

[@Gradz_M]

@@NearMintCondition thank you, I just ordered this one too because I love Thor so hopefully I’ll enjoy it as much as the other xD

[@brandonbaerga4972]

They should have done jms and gilleon run in one omnibus before this book came out

[@sting7789]

This will never equal Walt Simonsons run, Jason Aaron's God's of Thunder run but it's still good.

[@Seansworldd]

I was going to get this to read before my Jason Aaron Omni but if I have to also read the run before and then this I’ll have to skip unfortunately

[@hellothere5094]

Hi is there going to be an overview of animal omnibus 2022 on the channel?

[@BELOV3D777]

I’m sure there will be. Omar is pretty good about covering new omnis

[@NearMintCondition]

Yes. When it comes out.

[@siriactuallysara]

I’m very confused why is 620.1 before 615 and why .1?

[@Justice4All1983]

So question...if you only had enough money for one, would you go for the Fraction Thor omnibus, Walt Simonson, or Heroes Return Thor vol 2?

[@MastermindAXL]

Knowing Omar, he would 100% suggest getting the Simonson Omnibus. It's one of the best Thor runs according to tons of Thor fans.

[@johnlindsay7301]

Are there issues missing between JMS’s run and this or does this bridge the gap? Or does the Journey Into Mystery Omnibus bridge that gap? I really hope they rerelease the JMS Thor omni soon. That’s a good run.

[@NearMintCondition]

You’ll need Gillen’s run and Siege.

[@patrickflood2342]

Which one should I get this omnibus? Or Thor by Jason Aaron omnibus ?

[@NearMintCondition]

Aaron.

[@lewishutchison6174]

Well geez,everybody says this is a crappy run,but it looks awesome to me.I may get this.

Is the way you pronounce Allred correct? It seems very weird to me. You know, all red?

[@NearMintCondition]

I’m sure you can Google it

[@needfoolthings]

@@NearMintCondition Result: it's all red. I thought I'd ask first, maybe you have talked to the guy and he wants it pronounced Elred.

[@r2seeu666]

The Price is too High $200 Hahaha

[@BowmansWorld]

the ages of thunder and the galactus arcs were the best in this omni. there have been better end time surtur stories than this "everything burns."

you yap bro but no fun spoilers as if we all afford these man!!! like great reviewers!....show art n talk bout it all makes us say HEYYYY YEAH I NEED THAT MAN ...THINK MAN!!!!...

[@davidgraham8299]

If you can't afford it, WHY would you be worried about spoilers?? Not Omar's fault your dirt poor.

[@nelsoncarvalho6338]

This omni is for completionist only. It’s the worst Thor omni that has been released to date. It’s not bad. Just ok.
