Uncanny X-Men Omnibus Volume 5 Review
I know Iron Man vol 1 isn´t that good, but when do you think it picks up?? Vol 2 and 3 are coming up and I might skip them and just keep my Vol 1 if they are more of the same.
Great review, hope they reprint it soon so I can get my hands on it! Not “totally unrelated” any Star Trek comics worth mentioning or maybe reviewing in the channel?
Is the glue binding much of a problem?? so many pages are splash pages, do you have to fight the book in order to see the middle??
No I didn't have any real problem with these, I only really find glued binding to be an issue with bigger books, so pretty much just omnis
Great video
15:19 “You’ll never see me review a Clone Saga omnibus” As somebody who put himself through all 4 of them, I can say you’re probably making the right call there 😄
You're more dedicated than me if you read through all of that 😂
The writer pronounces his name Mik. æ line ee (like rhymes in “I hit my knee)
Good to know, it's a tricky name to be fair, I'm sure plenty of others have mispronounced it 😅
very cool,omnibus perfect.
I was thinking about this when I received my copy and seeing the contents of volume 2 (Including all of max carnage, lethal protector etc). This era is where classic spidey was still consistently great and then once the clone saga hits, I don't think it's ever been the same. I actually enjoy a good portion of the clone saga, but that definitely signalled a point where spidey lost his way. Practically every run since has followed a pattern of a new writer making their mark with some great stories, followed by editoral interfering or ideas going nowhere resulting in it being mixed overall. Having said that, if we get 2-3 omnis to round out the post clone sage/pre JMS I'll be getting them. Likewise with the brand new day era yet to be collected. I'll be very interested to see your thoughts on the J M Dematteis spectacular omni if you get that next year. One of my top 3 spidey runs.
Thats funny. The art is why im trying to track down a copy or figure out the order to buy stuff in.
The art style definitely grew on me over time
Is the spider man by chip good for kids?
One of my favorite sagas for Marvel! I had one point of disbelief in the prequel story. I did not believe Maestro Hulk would lose to Hercules in their one on one fight. I think that since Hulk was at the peak of his power and soaking up all those rads, he should have been able to easily defeat Hercules!
I think it's because this version of Hulk doesn't get stronger as he gets angrier like classic savage Hulk and he hadn't yet been awake and wandering around long enough to absorb enough radiation, or at least that's how I thought of it
I am disappointed. Honestly I wish we got consistent artwork and had multiple editions with each artists vision for all of the books
Great review- question: did this book originally come in factory sealed shrinkwrap? Someone told me it did not.
Thanks! And I'm pretty sure it did but I got this book about eight or nine years ago I think so can't remember for sure
Dknt keep up with Hulk but i had a feeling thaf Maestro was Hulk so thanks for conforming my suspicion 😂
Was thinking of getting this one, hey trove an explosion of all of these new Marvel and DC Omnibuses are on PRH slated for 2025 in the last couple days, would love to see you make a video and hear your thoughts on which ones you'll get!
Yeah some great announcements from what I saw, plenty to think about with which ones to get!
Out of print now 😢
I am waiting for John Carter Omni reprint 🫣 Even Dark Horse reprints are out of stock now
Miller Daredevil, incomparable. I was reading some just this week. Spidey 2099, David is the man but that art looks awful. I don't DC but Aquaman looks alright. Simonson Thor is my number 1 all time. I would kill for that book. I do got all the issues tho. One day I'll read miracleman... I want that Byrne she hulk. Cool immortal hulk. Batman looks like newspaper comic strip. Sweet sin city
Some of those early stories are model examples in imagination and concision. A truly wonderful collection that finishes on the first and probably best appearance of the Destroyer. Nothing that followed, not even the epic Simonson run, bettered what can be found here.
Thank you for video.
Not the best stuff but the art is great. Artists knew how to draw people.
That book is a piece of Art.
It was and is ground breaking and wont sit well with some because of the graphic content. I prefer the mature graphic content and how it did not fall into the superhero mainstream. Those who don't wont like it. This is not for the weak stomach or for mainstream batman and spiderman fans.
I have all but the Tomb of Dracula and Sensational She-Hulk omnibus. I also have the later printing of Dr. Strange with the white cover, but would have preferred Marvel re-released the variant you have.
I have all of those! :o
Nice overview. I picked up the two Captain America volumes a couple years back and then in the last year I grabbed the Human Torch and the two Sub-Mariner golden age volumes. Was thinking about this one, bit it looks like 80% would be a double dip for me.
Hi Michael, let me recommend you The Hunger and The Dusk. Cheers.
Hey 👋 new sub
@@luxuriousmindset1906 thank you, I appreciate it!
The story telling isn't as good. I agree with you about that. But there is something interesting about how they were throwing everything against the wall to see what stuck.
Yeah it's definitely an interesting experience to read it for the historical value
I wish I had the money for those three books.
I arrived to the part when jess and gwen are talking and reading the last comic before it, nothing makes sense. I've been searching a lot of web sites video and nothing explain why it does happen. Can you help me? In wich comic did they meet to be together?
@@danielmunoznaranjo8887 they first met in the Spider-Verse event which takes place just before this series
@@TheComicBookTrove but how does she get to 616 earth? Sorry for my english i know a little bit
@@danielmunoznaranjo8887 no need to be sorry! Gwen gets given a device that lets her move between her world and the 616 as a result of Spider-Verse and she continues using it during this series and afterwards
@@TheComicBookTrove thank you, you are the BEST 🙏
Some elements from this masterpiece were incorporated into the (current) mainstream DC Continuity, such as the Losers in Dinosaur Island (but with Captain Storm actually SURVIVING rather than being killed among his partners) or, most recently, the John Henry incarnation (now called John Henry, Jr., which is also Steel's great-uncle).
Nice that the FF Omnibus includes the letters but others like Powerpack does do include them.
It is nice to read parts of the stories in the Marvel Saga which shows how the other comics go together. Also, a magazine called Dynamite. which is published by Scholastic had part of their original story and had questions and answers and where i first heard of. i saw a cartoon show before I read Marvel Saga. I also have the index series.
Now is an bigger version of this from TASCHEN MARVEL Comic Library saw some videos of them.
There is and that's an awesome looking book but that does have less content than this omnibus. I think the Taschen one collects the first 20 issues and this collects the first 30
Great review! Really enjoyed it
Halfway done and this is a fun read so far 👍
I want to get this one in September of 2024 when they reprint it, in June 2024 they are having a Mark bagley omnibus which takes place after Eric Larsen Omnibus, get both for like $75.00, a piece.
Yeah great it's getting reprinted! And I'm definitely getting the Bagley omnibus, there's some good stuff in there!
Have you read Batman The Aventures Continue comic?
No, is that the Batman & Robin one?
I picked this book up a little while ago. I play FFXIV, and love the game. This book is exactly what I want from some video game worlds. A tome of comprehensive lore and backstory of the games world. I ordered the second volume too. I would love for Square Enix to publish a similar book about Valisthea (the world of FFXVI).
There's also a third volume now! I have it but haven't got around to doing a video on it yet
I've got this very book albeit in a very special one of a kind edition. That's all I'm saying as I don't want it nicked...
Well that's intriguing! Sounds like it must be cool though!
Thanks for the overview! I have the OHC and I've been going back and forth about upgrading to the omnibus. I think I'll stick with the OHC. Save my pennies for the other 20 omnis that I need to get 😮💨
Gotta go with the books you know you'll appreciate most
World war hulk was great some of the tie ins were a lot of fun! Hopefully we get a continuation in omnibuses with this with the pak and Parker run
Planet Hulk is one of my all time favorite comics. I felt in comparison WWH a bit of a lit down, and really don't like JRJ art. That plus non chronological story mapping means a swerve on this one for me. I keep my TPB of it for my general Marvel event collection.
Yeah I get it, it is a bit frustrating how this one is mapped
I have the first print of this world war hulk i love this cover i have the stranded edition cover both of the covers are incredible and this omnibus is incredible aswell 10/10 for me
Best Aquaman in history, probably Johns greatest feat, against the advice of all at DC, he fought to be given Aquaman, being told it was a waste of time, He changed public perception towards Arthur Curry. This run was the basis for the Billion plus box office movie which Johns himself wrote. Mera is awesome, as Johns says, truly underestimated character, who is potentially among DC's strongest female characters. Aquaman is lucky, his enemies cannot target his love interest, they would regret going after the Queen. Only pity that this memorable Aquaman run was cut short, Johns has planned a much longer run, but petty people at DC stopped him, probably out of spitefulness for proving them wrong.
Do you prefer the first print of DV or the new deluxe edition?
These deluxe editions are my favourite format I've owned these stories in
I remember first being exposed to the animated film. After watching that I wanted to buy the original comic story. Might make a self-purchase for my birthday in the near future. Thanks for the spotlight.
Is the film good?
@@TheComicBookTrove Yeah all these years later it really holds up nicely.
@@astrostar49 ah cool, I might have to check that out then
This for me is the magnum opus of DC!
Definitely an instant favourite for me, I did a list of my top DC deluxe editions a while back before I'd read this but if I was to do it now this would definitely make the list
This is not only my favorite comic book of all time it is better than Watchmen.
