3:16 Hey, I'm credited in those thanks! (I provided the book's researcher Jeph York with a few of the rarer card scans).

Whoa!!! 😳 That’s really cool!

Going to pin this.

[@oxmeatpete]

Awesome!

Loved reading this! So awesome!

Thank you for being a part of improving this printing of X-men I've bought.

You and me both, my brother.

[@danielmgn1]

BEST NMC VIDEO EVER!!! Thank You Omar! you made me remember the days when me and my brother rush to get this comics and even read them at the same time -- so uncomfortable -- but neither of us wanted to wait for the other to finish reading, those were the best moments of my childhood. Un fuerte abrazo desde México!

Solid overview! Uncanny Omar is at the best at overviews. Sure am excited to revisit this run!

[@NearMintCondition]

Much appreciated!

[@jirenthegoat9717]

I went with the other cover, kind of glad I did. Can't wait to complete the entire Claremont era of X-Men omnibus 🔥

[@NearMintCondition]

They are coming together.

[@deathtone1614]

Still got the original printing. Glad others will get a chance to get a copy.

[@NearMintCondition]

Same here.

[@DrakonR]

Now this is something we're excited for.

[@NearMintCondition]

Hellz yeah we are!

[@hugorios]

I never read Claremont X-men, but I always view these overviews just to see Omar's excitement when he talks X-Men.

[@NearMintCondition]

I do love me some X-men.

[@DMM9619]

This will finally be mines next week. Great overview Omar hoping for a lot more X titles in the next few years 🔥🙏🙏🙏

[@NearMintCondition]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@jessebeutler6317]

Might you be getting a 4K camera in the future? I would love to watch your videos crystal clear on my tv😊 LOVE your videos. Thank you for all that you do!

[@NearMintCondition]

Thank you so much and looking into that now.

[@DMM9619]

It’s good your getting maddogg in on this, that dude is awesome and represents the UK as our version of you lol. He deserves a lot of praise so thanks for including him 🔥👌

[@johnwilliams2183]

I will buy these, plus I think Conan omnis are going oop

[@NearMintCondition]

Yes sir, some of them are.

[@marcelo-ramos]

Awesome, thanks for the video. I will be getting this. I already "committed" to the full first Chris Claremont run, but I will still need to wait for the gaps to be closed in OFC or omnibus reprints :( Funny how you first mentioned all the issues that are not included in the omnibus, and then you say "this is included here because otherwise it would have been orphaned."

[@NearMintCondition]

Yeah, back then they had to leave out the events for OHCs.

[@justinsheldon5887]

This was my other Black Friday score. So excited to dive into this omni. Fortunately, I still have the comic cards that are found in this edition. I’m so glad I hung on to those for all these years!

[@MYTHNL90]

5:45 this never gets old! 😂🇯🇵

[@NearMintCondition]

NEVER!

[@qrsx66]

It's a good thing it gets reprinted for those who were waiting for many years now. I understand their pain. I could have those X-Men by Jim Lee then, but I was waiting for Inferno to be reprinted for so long.

[@NearMintCondition]

It's coming.

[@Lantern_Matt_2814]

yeah I've got the oversized hardcover of the X-Men 2.0 you mentioned picked up a new copy of Fatal Attractions last week

[@NearMintCondition]

That 2.0 is awesome.

[@jeremybryson2798]

Thanks Omar for another great preview. I'm really excited for this. I'm currently reading volume one. I thought it started a bit slow but I'm really digging it the more I read. I've just finished the issue where we find out what happened to Colossus and Dazzler after they went through the Siege Perilous

[@NearMintCondition]

My pleasure!

[@omnibro879]

Omar min 12:30 😂😂😂

[@NearMintCondition]

Oh yeah!

[@mike6526]

Great vid as always! Very informative!!

[@NearMintCondition]

I appreciate that

[@DrDoomPool]

Congrats Omar! You are the man! I wish we could get the x-men issues between Jim Lee omi’s vol 1&2 (x-tinction agenda) in oversized hc format!

[@NearMintCondition]

Thank you so much. I'd love to see that come back.

[@TheYoungDoctor]

My copy arrived today from Book Depository and I have ordered volume 1 today and am currently waiting for it to cross the Atlantic from the US to the UK.

[@cf2099]

Yes, that X-reading order is much needed. Especially, with that much omnibus coming...

[@NearMintCondition]

Its coming.

[@jjm6187]

Can you get this volume 2 and not need volume 1 to get a good read out of it? Vol 2 is available still but people want an arm and leg for volume 1. Thus far i've got Claremont Vol 2, Age of Apocalypse, and Onslaught as a basline for collection! Thanks in part to your videos!!

[@johnfredmurray]

Great X review as always Omar! These were the books me and my friends grew up on. Is it me or is Cheap Graphic Novels always sold out of the X-men books?

[@NearMintCondition]

I know they sold out of X of Swords like everyone. This one was sold out in preorder in 30 minutes, which is crazy.

[@odoyle5895]

i stumbled cross your videos one night about a month ago. never had owned an omni. now i have 8. my wallet hates you. but i love you. lol. cant wait to pick up this bad boy.

[@NearMintCondition]

I am so sorry to your wallet!

This is the best xmen!!! I loved this run as a kid! So so so so dope!

[@NearMintCondition]

It really is.

[@nivekleveb8872]

[@NearMintCondition]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@RobRVA]

I didn’t get this first time around so looking forward to it. I’m actually going to start moving my business over the CheapGraphicNovels (I have orders outstanding at TOW through the summer but from now on I’m changing over) mainly because Tales Of Wonder don’t send shipping notices or tracking numbers, which I find really annoying. Which is gonna suck for TOW cause I spend a lot of money on these suckers.

[@NearMintCondition]

So glad that you get to get it this time around.

[@reyvazquez7800]

Which one is better to get deadpool beginnings omnibus or Marvel universe by rob liefeld omnibus

[@peterx1957]

Great video Omar. Yes I will be buying this as I have Vol. 1. This will be my first dive into it. UXM Omnibus Vol. 4 might be a birthday gift? Maybe. Cheers mate 😊

[@NearMintCondition]

Brother, I can't wait for you to read this for the first time.

[@datboisteve6992]

HOPEFULLY IST has this, because CGN did pre-orders on it & I missed out on BOTH covers!! 😕 Unrelated question, do you anywhere I can find Hellblazer vol. 20? I can't find it anywhere besides Amazon, and I hate buying from them. I plan on getting 21-24 before they go missing/oop, but its gonna suck not having 20 when I have 1-19.

[@NearMintCondition]

I think Hellblazer is OOP in the direct market. So if you need it. Perhaps Barnes and noble or even Target may have them.

[@Nahreru]

Those omnibus are sold too fast and if you miss them, they go OOP or OOS in few days -.-' I cannot afford to take 6 omnibus one afte another (X-men c+b and X-Men C+JM) -.-' Sometimes in the same month!

[@jrox1904]

i like the recoloring on magneto & the electric shield over the original coloring but other than that i like the original colors more

[@NearMintCondition]

I do too.

[@sebastianstark8517]

The new printing looks a bit faded to me, so I do prefer the darker colors of the original. Thanks for this overview and comparison.

[@tapsilogic]

I wasn't a fan of trading cards in general, so I went with the three-issue Marvel X-Men Collection that blew up all trading card art to comic size. Marvel could make extra $$$ by compiling them (and adding the recent recolored Jim Lee variants) into an HC.

[@NearMintCondition]

Yeah they did. And now the variants were recolored.

[@mike1019831]

I can't wait to order this book to complete my set for chris and jim. I know this is kind of off topic so sorry in advance yet just wanted to say that I got my amazing Spider-Man omnibus vol 2 since it was cheaper to get that than the OOP epic collection vol 3 & 4. However, after seeing it and reading some of those letters not sure if you said it Omar or someone did in the comments but I completely get the time capsule comment. I have just about every epic collection of Spider-Man but now I want to double dip and get them in Omnibus form lol. For me, the moment in time letters was enough of a selling point to want me to replace the epic collection books.

[@NearMintCondition]

I always like to refer to the letter pages as time capsules to take us back to how things were back then.

[@ReaperXC]

Nice Omar.

[@NearMintCondition]

Thank you so much, my brother.

Good review, I don't own any x-men omni's yet will pick this up. Is vol 1 also worth it?

Question for the community: my uncanny X-men vol4 that I preordered still hasn’t shipped from CGN. Am I the only one?

[@bertfechner417]

Mine hasn't either but I'm not worried. When I ordered volume 3 it took awhile but I still got it.

[@AryaChowdhuryMusic]

I’m in the same boat, and I have faith in them. It’s been crazy for every retailer in this Marvel Age.

[@xXCigarXx]

Have faith in them. I've got my copy. I'm sure yours will be on the way....

[@NearMintCondition]

I'm sure it will come, brother. They are waiting for their shipment from Diamond now.

[@johnnieriot13]

@@NearMintCondition Yeah, a few hours after I posted this question CGN post that memo on the delayed shipments. Thanks man, I appreciate the help.

Hi, why they did not make those folded pages in the OHOMU Omnibus, even in two or three parts, what a missed opportunity, to finally have this amazing covers together after sooooo many years !!!

[@NearMintCondition]

I'm not sure, I wish they would do more in omnis.

[@coyley72]

Thanks Omar. Question. What is this word you're saying which sounds like "adjativelist" X-Men? And what does it mean?

[@coyley72]

@Joe Kelsey dude, thanks so much for the answer. Totally makes sense 👍🏻😀

[@MayasMotivation]

Hey, Omar. Do you think they will ever reprint The X-Men omnibus vol 1 and 2? The ones before Uncanny X-Men. I would love to collect those.

[@NearMintCondition]

One day we will.

[@jondoe4624]

You joke about a swimsuit edition omnibus, but I generally think there is demand for an over sized hard cover swim suit edition. Between 90s nostalgia and X-Men always being hot with the readers, it would sell. Some people are starved for X content, new and old. Look how fast the X of Swords hardcover sold out at CGN, IST and midtown. IST sold out of the regular cover in 6 minutes. I know because it was taken out of my shopping cart...

[@NearMintCondition]

Oh I don't joke, I would be all over that. With so many variants.

[@KingConan]

Hmm, I wonder if Magneto will be on the spine of the standard cover omni...

[@NearMintCondition]

I'm not really sure.

[@Grimlock987]

I don't have volume 1. Is it worth picking up?

[@NearMintCondition]

It sure is.

[@animeshadow2]

[@NearMintCondition]

[@rebel-by-design]

You think they wanted us to know Wolverine is in this book? I appreciate Rogue giving him the side-eye. ETA: Oh god, Claremont is definitely the Dickens of comics. He earned every penny, but I'm sure an editor wanted to scream 'it's a visual medium, Chris!' at least once.

[@NearMintCondition]

The Dickens. :) Towards the end, hellz yeah he was.

[@kirbykok4544]

I miss the old times when Comic Book artists Jim Lee and Whilce Portacio were drawing the Marvel comics X-Men titles. the late 80s and early 90s X-Men comic books were really good because the their artwork. I know its wishful thinking but I wish Jim Lee would draw the Uncanny X-Men again. I know he works for DC comics now but I kind of wish that Jim Lee would comeback and draw Uncanny X-Men again.

[@TheVetoSkreeemer]

Perhaps it could happen someday.
