That Jim Lee cover......Chef's Kiss

[@deathtone1614]

They’ll give us that Swim Suit omnibus one of these days!

[@Buggerlugs1424]

I've not read this but I love hearing the passion and genuine love Omar has not only for this but all comics.

[@sazmurph540]

My favorite Wolverine era as well. Hama & Silvestri made a great team! My favorite part of including the MCP issues is seeing the Sam Keith covers! And you’re right, it’s funny how reading these stories again takes you back to where you were when you first read them

[@greg3118]

I CANNOT wait to own and eye-fuck this book! This has been my most wanted book for years. Thank you, David G. and team, and most importantly, Omar, for making this happen!

[@Strong_Sad]

Yes! It's finally here. That cover by Jim Lee is so awesome.

[@gabriellorgan0]

Good times! I still have my single issue of wolverine 50. Read these histories remembers me of childhood, reading and having a good time. Also I like more wolverine when he didnt have a past.

[@charlesjohnson3287]

Great overview! This was definitely my favorite time for reading the X-Men and Wolverine!

[@coyley72]

Omar, you said you’ve read some of these issues like 15 times!!! This will be the first time I’ve ever read any of these stories. 😊 I can’t wait

[@mnm25chango2]

So I was dead set on collecting Wolverine in epic format… but I just ordered Vol. 2 & Vol. 3 👀😅 Do you think there’s any chance Marvel might “sneakily” reprint Vol. 1 with the new spine??!

[@broken1394]

I hope so, same boat as you!

[@KGBookkeeping]

Lol that Canada shout-out was great! Thanks Omar!

[@Ringmaster138]

Wolverine #53 with Mojo lifting up a battered Wolverine on the cover was my first Wolvie comic. Cant wait to read it again!

[@arthurwoo6082]

Dang it Omar I told myself that i was going to pass on this and stop at Omni2, but seeing you run through it brought back so many great memories (even though there were some issues I missed back in the day). Going to be buying this book now thanks to you. You are still the best but my wallet hates you :D

[@EastSide_LB]

Now u gotta preorder Volume 4 like I did. 😂

[@seancapri]

That cover is so, so good.

[@cruelangel8689]

Can't wait! Wolvie 3 and Secret Wars coming back to back.

[@the_marvel_omnivore]

Looking forward to this one! I love Larry Hama!

[@MADDROBB]

Here for this 🙌

[@FrankCastlesConscience]

Great review. Even though this reprints comics from 1990-1993 its got the Marvel art style i love from circa 1986-1989. Quite detailed, nice shading. I’m not even a big Wolverine fan but this is a pre-order book for me.

[@theweeze1922]

I’m all in on this, just gotta wait till Feb ( too much this month) I can’t wait to what I think will be Omni 5 as 75 is my favorite Wolvie issue. Wolvie belongs with Jean! The big change in 75, cut to the danger room and Jean is like get him out of there! And the big reveal on his knees blood everywhere..that’s my X-men!

[@mannyc19]

Also my fave era of Wolverine ! OMAR !! Any news on a stealth restock of Wolverine Omni #1 ??

[@joshuahelmeke]

Couldn’t be more excited about this one.

[@gqd1975]

Must buy.

[@georgefeliu2383]

i think with vol. 4 release I'll be done collecting Wolverine solo series. Can my mind be changed? yes.

[@JoeLovesComics]

Awesome! Always love the passion in your overviews but especially something like this.

[@DorkSideStudio]

I want a Gambit Omnibus so bad. They can get some Uncanny in there with both Mini series and 90's run probably.

[@MrTex-qy2mn]

I really liked this run more than I thought. Even though, the Elise Dee and Albert characters got ran their course for me, I will have to flip a coin between the Lee and Silvestri covers.

[@AgentMorgan2010]

Why is the artwork in the Bloody Choices story not oversized? Did they lose the original artwork or something? That bothers me.

[@twentyfour7080]

Which volume of Wolverine does Silver Samurai appear? I’m assuming vol. 1?

[@kevinconnor3187]

I love that cover!

[@jamesleblanc7437]

This is PEAK Silvestri. Can’t wait!

[@Novaargh]

7:30 YESS, that would have been so cool, you have 2 variant covers, it would have been perfect to use that cover for one of the varients on the omnibus! specially with what they eventually used, this would have been a superior choice

[@johnzertuche9413]

WOLVERINE! Great review! Any chance you can get Marvel to put out a Marvel Universe by George Perez? An example they could include would be X-men annual 3 with a unique wolverine costume, `nuff said.

[@chitownbud4769]

I have the goon ( a bunch of old crap books ) I was wondering if you knew if those are pretty much the same as the library edition ones ? Also I’m happy with the soft cover bunch of old crap 1-5, but do you think I should upgrade to library edition ones ? Just wondering what you think, thanks 👍

[@tannerheslet5347]

I really want a Sentry omnibus. The original series, the Sentry Reborn series, the 2018 Jeff Lemire series, and maybe some of his appearances in New Avengers, Dark Avengers, Siege, Uncanny Avengers, Doctor Strange by Cates, and King in Black. Idk how many issues total that would be but I can’t imagine it would be any bigger than some of these other 1250+ page books.

[@lewishutchison6174]

Ordering on Wednesday..looks kick ass.

[@ScottPutnamART]

Off topic...but I remember it talked about in the live stream about John Byrnes Next Men. I found it at my lcs and half was the original dark horse tpbs and 1 idw color tpb. I will say this: I love it so far! Also comparing the dark horse and idw versions, the idw is much superior. The paper is more newsprinty with really helps the colors and line work. And they include the covers which dark horse dosnt. If this gets reprinted I hope it's by idw!

[@richardjohnston99]

I got this yesterday, a perfect omnibus with everything from that era included; Hama, Silvestri, Keith, Colan, Buscema, Romita Jnr, Lee, all the crossovers, one shots and specials are in there. Such a shame Marvel didn't have the same attitude to X-men Omnibus 5, that could've been the greatest of them all but they left a third of it out

[@TheHobGoblin]

That might be my favorite looking book without the dust cover. Your overviews are costing me a lot of money ;)

[@freddie8354]

Got my copy in the mail today, can't wait to open it up and diving into these stories 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

[@tylerscott6640]

Do you think there will ever be an omnibus, deluxe or gallery focused on the Wolvie-centric X-Men issues like 162, 205, 211-214, 251, and 268? Plenty of others I'm forgetting but you get the idea. I know they did an Adamantium Collection years ago with similar content but it was stupidly huge and had those dumbass distracting borders on the right and left of every page.

[@ScottPutnamART]

Wolverine in Alberta is the best there is.

[@luciferfernandez7094]

I jumped into comics in this era, Wolverine #44 was my first of this series, I still have most of the issues. In hindsight the Weapon X sequel hasn’t aged well - the Shiva character seems pretty lame for a conclusion. Other than that, still love most of Hama’s run.

[@nimuealban8465]

Nice to have another no-brainer omni for the cart! 🙂Btw, will you do an overview for Books of Magic Vol. 3 Omni?

[@UnknownVisitorxx13]

This should be Marvels quintessential for Omnibus presence from this point on.

[@chinohormann]

Pretty stoked for this release. Was never really a big Wolverine fan before I got the first two volumes but I've grown on him ( _honestly, I'm more a fan of Laura Kinney stories over James Howlett's_ ). I have that first DM cover (the one he has there) preordered from cheapgraphicnovels along with Ultimate Spider-Man vol 2. Hopefeully they'll get here by the end of the month (geez!).

[@xavier8394]

I have whole Hama run but getting this omnibus is dream come true 🤓 16 hours left to get it 😎

[@k.i.t2291]

Cant wait! ✊🏼🤜🏼 😁

[@pierre-olivierl5897]

Damn! I want this one so bad!

[@drock6287]

Is the Jim Lee cover inside the book anywhere??

[@blacksail3911]

How many omnibus to finish Hama’s run?

[@Yalbou]

Hopefully there is a volume 4 :)

[@jackburkhart4619]

Already solicited 👍🏻

[@jamesleblanc7437]

Next September.

[@psi-judgesanderson6983]

I started collecting the epics from this era. May have to grab this as well for the oversized art work. On another note does anyone know which omnis are getting a restock/reprint? I'm trying to prioritise which titles I buy.

[@NearMintCondition]

For marvel? There are lots. I may make a video if given the time talking about the schedule.

[@psi-judgesanderson6983]

@@NearMintCondition thanks Omar that would be awesome. Solid overview m8 ✊

[@alejandrorisso3151]

Hola Omar! is the Jim Lee cover included within the contents of the Omnibus?

[@ianfleetwood8804]

Great review as usual. I'll be getting the jl cover delivered later this week, but it will now sit with 1 & 2 on my to read pile. I wonder if it is wise or possible to do all three books in one run without having wolverine overload

[@dantesworld7980]

Is this a good book to jump in and read Wolverine for the first time? I’ve only seen the movies

[@stevesantiago8732]

Getting the Lee cover 🎉

[@siniquezu]

Skipped vol 1 and 2. I need this one.

[@jjm6187]

I'm a 90's kid but got into spidey during his ultimate run. Looking to get into some 90's x-men, would wolverine omni 3 and/or 4 fit the bill? I know it's more 80's but 80's also influenced the 90's X-Men TAS.

[@Carlos-xz3vi]

I guess if you’re only interested in Wolverine. I’ve heard that for a good 90’s X book, X-Factor by Peter David is where is at. However that’s more like B/C list characters. I’m no expert, but since you mentioned ultimate Spider-Man, I’d think something like New X Men by Morrison would be more your alley (not 90’s though, more like early 2000).

[@georgefeliu2383]

90"s X > 2020's X

[@JohnPannozzi]

Looks awesome, but I'm disappointed that they didn't include the Sam Kieth Wolverine story from the Charleston's Chew Marvel Collector's Edition giveaway one-shot. Maybe in the next Wolverine Omnibus, hint hint, Marvel?

[@NearMintCondition]

We added that in our map my x. Probably a licensed problem.

[@JohnPannozzi]

@@NearMintCondition it would be very weird if there was a licensing issue. It wasn't like a Hostess ad where the characters constantly reference the product. Marvel could very easily remove the Charleston Chew logos from the covers (and take out the images of Charleston Chew bars from the trivia question pages if they were to include those). But then again, I'm not sure if any other Marvel comics released as part of a promotion with some product have been collected.

[@DaneTheBurger]

Will all classic omnis be getting logo spines now instead of the small text?

[@Krypton_Ken]

SNIKT

[@frankwhitebean2649]

If they complete this run, when will the volunes end, #5?

[@jamesleblanc7437]

Blood Hungry

[@doublez_]

So many potential dm covers… I think this is a rare omni marvel missed the boat and chose some underwhelming covers, respectfully imo. #48 would’ve been nice

[@david10006]

Wasn't one of the direct market covers supposed to be X-Men # 4 or did I just imagine that?

[@NearMintCondition]

They changed it to this cover a few months ago.

[@siriactuallysara]

I love these overviews. I don’t know if I will get this one. I have vol1 and vol2. I might get this if it goes on discount.

[@hexginnkgo]

IST. At least 38% off

[@jasonvargas4450]

Hey Omar, is it still possible to enjoy this volume without having read the first two volumes? Missed out on Vol.1 before it went out of print again and may purchase Vol. 2 soon.

[@jamesleblanc7437]

I would say you could drop right in. Wolverine spends less time in Madripoor and he rejoins the X-Men proper after the events of X-Tinction Agenda and Muir Island Saga bring all the dispersed members back together. It’s a great jumping on point.

[@jasonvargas4450]

@@jamesleblanc7437 thanks for the reply and helpful information. Looking forward to purchasing this when I get home from work. Once again, thank you for that, now I feel more comfortable diving in at this point.

[@Bunderwood86]

Ok for someone who wants to get into comics again after almost 15 years of being out of them. Doesn’t matter dc or marvel which Omni should o go after first? And yes I already read crisis on infinite earths!

[@NearMintCondition]

Uncanny volume 1, Annihilation, Gotham central, Batman Snyder Capullo, venom by cates, spiderman by JMS, Superman by Tomasi, Daredevil by Bendis and silver surfer by Slott. Those are just some recommendations.

[@Bunderwood86]

@@NearMintCondition thank you and I’m shocked about the silver surfer considering how much you say you aren’t a huge fan of the character.

[@fabritz1891]

7:44 BIG Marvel L for not doing it

[@jonathanbletzacker1512]

Why does Marvel keep screwing over the folks that preordered first prints out the gates (as Omar says we need to do to get more volumes) by changing spines on reprints and new volumes going forward? I’m annoyed with this, and setting up for more disappointment with Uncanny 5

[@ReaperXC]

Bloody hell. This spine doesn't match volumes 1 and 2. Come on Marvel.

[@NearMintCondition]

It matches the new printing of two.

[@xXCigarXx]

@@NearMintCondition man,what a load of bullshit. Fuck marvel for that. Any spine change in a series is lame as hell.

It's not like "aaah some people about IMAK"..... it's MOST people buying books printed there can see serious issues! Just get the latest Marvel Handbook Update Omnibus, let me see what will you say there... 98% every page can be seen through, text or pictures!

[@NearMintCondition]

I’m going to just say. That lots of people don’t care. Some people don’t even want me to talk about the paper as it’s a waste of time. I do it because there are people that do. You can’t assume because you and a group of people think it’s a serious issue you speak for the majority, but you aren’t. I see all the comments and feedback. And I always mention the paper. As I mentioned in this overview the paper stock is thicker here than the Donnelly printer Ultimate Spidey 2.
