Top Ten Standalone Omnibus Collections

My list of the top standalone omnibus collections from my collection!

[@allsome1o1]

Miracleman came to mind as soon as I read the title so I’m glad it’s on your list!

[@vishalphatak8268]

Nice list. Aquaman, Daredevil, Batman adventures, and Gotham central are definitely worth it. Other standalone omnibuses I can recommend are, Planetary by Warren Ellis and John Cassady, Doom Patrol by Grant Morrison and Richard case, Ultimates by Mark Millar and Bryan Hitch.

Great picks! Eagerly waiting on a Sensational She-Hulk reprint (as well as Peter David Hulk vol 1). Glad Thor by WS is getting reprinted soon. Can't wait to add that to my collection & dive into it.

Cool Upload! I have just about all these Omnis but have barely started to read them all. Im still stuck in my Spiderman Omnis and my PS Artbooks which are really cool!

[@SamSterlingSpaceStories]

Peter David's Spiderman 2099 was so good! I liked peter's work on Hulk Storyline back in the 90s. I never followed up after the Death of Superman. I will check it out

[@austincaldwell8358]

All great picks.

[@ricard0elias399]

Nice list of great Omnibus collection, thanks for sharing them. My favorite is Frank Miller Sin City, also the Death of Superman. ❤👍

[@TheComicBookReport]

Fantastic list man! Love that Spidey 2099 Omni

[@spyhunter9299]

Nice list dude

I appreciated this peek into newer books. I prefer Silver and Bronze Age so would include the Nick Fury omnibus, the Kirby 1970's Cap omni, and Man-Thing omni. From DC, the Adam Strange omni and Kirby's Fourth World and Kamandi omnis. Silver Surfer and Howard the Duck had standalone omnis, but wouldn't make my list. I have not seen DC's long O/P Doom Patrol omnibus, but it would be a winner. Thanks for the preview of Simonson's Thor. Yeah, for me the recoloring plus stripped-of-logo covers are dealbreakers. No letters pages either? No sale (maybe in Epic if with original covers and colors). Great video!

[@djsuth7727]

Good selection. In my picks I'd probably end up dropping some of the Marvel titles ( aside from Daredevil and Thor ) for the likes of Batman by Loeb/Sale, Sleeper, Planetary, Y the Last Man, Doom Patrol and Animal Man ( both by Morrison ).

[@Carlos-xz3vi]

Detective Comics by Tynion and Spiderman by Chip Zdarsky are 2 of my favorites standalone.

[@TheComicBookTrove]

The Zdarsky omnibus is one that narrowly missed out, there's plenty of other great standalone books!

[@comicshrine-theo9475]

I would have swapped out Byrne’s She Hulk for his Alpha Flight. But a great list and great presentation! 🙌

[@TheComicBookTrove]

Alpha Flight is definitely another good one!

[@PatricksCollectibles]

Hey man, love the videos and love the list, was just wondering, is your copy of Immortal Hulk holding up? Mine already has pages falling off the binding. 😅

[@TheComicBookTrove]

That's really frustrating! I haven't had any problems with mine so far, I'd try and exchange it if you can

[@dbsasuke]

Batman by Loeb and Sale should be here as well

[@TheComicBookTrove]

It definitely would have been if I still had that omnibus, but I've got those stories in deluxe editions now instead

[@TheBlahh888]

still waiting on comic trove's top 10 reads od 2023 🙏

[@TheComicBookTrove]

Some of them made it onto this list to be fair 😅

[@TheBlahh888]

@@TheComicBookTrove not opposed to seeing it again on a top 10 vid 👀

[@f4blen1ght]

I read the Aquaman omnibus, but the ending is open, what should I read that continues the story?

[@TheComicBookTrove]

The epilogue ending right at the end that teased some kind of Seven Kings/Kingdoms event ultimately came to nothing if I remember right, I don't think DC ever actually followed that up at all

[@f4blen1ght]

@@TheComicBookTrove ok thanks for the reply. :(

[@TheChristramontano]

Excellent list! For my picks, in no particular order would be: 1. Genis Vell Captain Marvel 2. Untold Tales of Spider-Man 3. Silver Surfer by Slott and Allred 4. Book of Doom 5. She Hulk by Slott and Bobillo 6. Maestro Collection 7. Spider-Man by Zdarsky and Kubert 8. X-Men: Age of Apocalypse 9. Spider-Man by Roger Stern 10. Alpha Flight by Byrne I would love to hear your opinion on my list, I tried to pick stuff you didn't list since you did a bang up job explaining why your picks made it!

[@TheComicBookTrove]

That's a good list! Some of those were close to being on mine, like Stern's and Zdarsky's runs and Alpha Flight

[@davidgraham8299]

The only thing I'd take issue with there is Slott's She-Hulk, which I thought was pretty weak, but too each their own.

[@CarlosDias-er6dd]

There's one book I would add to your list: Venom by Cates and Stegman. It's a complete run, a good jumping on point and contains the entirety of Absolute Carnage and King in Black events! I really think it's one of the best omnibus ever.

[@omnitheus5442]

Immortal Hulk doesn't belong here. Peter David, Loeb's Red Hulk are must reads before you read this book otherwise it is rather pointless...

[@TheComicBookTrove]

I was on the fence about whether I should include it because as you say there's earlier material that has a connection to it but ultimately I think whilst it's definitely beneficial to have read those and I would recommend people do, they're not strictly essential
