Incredible Hulk by Peter David Omnibus v04
I passed on this one but there’s some seriously solid stuff in this book!
Yes it does but it double dips a little with the other PAD Omnis
This Omni looks fun and the art looks great (only the good stuff!!!). Excellent review.
Thanks David!
Can’t wait to get to the PAD hulk run. I’m getting close… at the Mantlo run right now. would the maestro book be okay to read if you haven’t read any other 2000s marvel?
I THINK there is enough issues covered to bring you enough up to speed. I mean like Stan Lee famously told new writers "every issue could be someone's first". If you don't mind jumping and just sort of figuring stuff out you should be OK.
Seems really nice but I had hoped that they would include material from Old Man Logan issues 25 to 30. The story is pretty good and has art by Mike Deodato. Ed Brisson is the writer but it is worth checking out. You might want to check it out on line. The trade is going for $.50.00 or more. I'm hoping that they will reprint in an oversized edition someday.
From my understanding that’s a different maestro hulk.
@@fishin4bass2002 Yes, a different timeline but the story is still good. Worth a look at any rate.
@@williamjackson6705 ironically I just saw a clip of it on UA-cam and looked at issue 50 yesterday. Only issue with that story is that Hulk has a healing factor so he shouldn’t have died and also the bone claw shouldn’t have been able to cut into hulk. Hell even adamantium claws shouldn’t be able to cut hulk because according to official canon, wolverine doesn’t have the strength to use his claws to cut through hulk.
@@fishin4bass2002 I was talking about issues # 25-30. I had not read issue #50.
@@williamjackson6705 ahh well he comes back in the last few issues of the series and maestro and Logan battle it out to the death
I'll have to check this out.
Thanks for watching Mark!
Good video, Larry. I'm still working through vol. 2 and loving it. On track on my one volume a month for the rest of the year plan. I personally really dislike most of Greg Land's work, but the truth is he's really talented when he cares about the results. The problem is he's really lazy and completely shameless about it. Why trace faces when they're so obviously from models and p-stars? Those faces don't even look good in comic book characters. Well, he just doesn't care. It's easy money. So, even though it's widely known he likes tracing (and from what sources), he just doesn't care. That really bothers me.
Thanks Marcelo and I totally agree! Good luck on that read-through.
Greg Land is strange. Some of his artwork is fantastic... while other pieces are, um, _interesting_ to say the least.
It's amazing (and not in a good way) that he's gotten away with it for so long at Marvel.
I remember Land's work in the Battleworld issues and it surprised me for their quality compared to many other comics he worked on. Reminded me that he had his own style once back in the early Birds of Prey days. I don't mind a reference photo here or there, but every panel having a woman's face be in shock or that insipid smirk he would put on every man's face... drove me insane.
I have heard his earlier work was better.
Great review, Larry.
Thanks Deathtone!
Nice haul Larry!
Thanks!
Moore Gary Allen Helen Jones Lisa
thanks for watching
Is tenement standard size hardcover
Yes unfortunately it is although it is very thick....like 10 issues I think
Always see new books!
Thanks for watching Mark!
Really nice haul. I’d like to own most of what you bought.
Thanks David. I stayed in budget!
Bone Orchard order goes Bone Orchard Preview Free Comic Book Day, The Passageway, Ten Thousand Black Feathers, and Tenement. (Also in my own head canon I put Gideon Falls before all of those)
Thanks! i LOVED Gideon Falls!
Not interested after the first volume. It was ok, but lost steam quickly.
It really is true that grabbing an audience/reader is harder than holding one.
Those 2 bottom boxes are monsters! Great pick ups and great intro Larry!
Yes...the one was pretty empty though. IST doesn't mind packing the extra space full so that helps!
Great haul , Larry.
Thanks Deathtone!
Great intro 😂
Thanks!
A lot of people picking up that Corbens Den book . I like his art on Conan but not sure I've read any other corben
Gotta warn ya...he was totally obsessed with ENORMOUS BREASTS. But otherwise the art is just fantastic in a bizarre way and the stories are trippy and wild.
@@LarrysLibrary yea just based on the videos I've seen he definitely created some interesting world on this den book
I have the first three but I am missing Captain America white! We should be getting a Wolverine & Gambit gallery edition by Loeb and Sale next year!
Oh yeah I forgot about that when I did the unboxing. I have that on my buy list
I still haven't made up my mind on Justice League vs Godzilla. It's in my watchlist for now! Happy that Den 2 is finally out, I believe that was delayed for quite a while.
Yeah I think they pushed it back a bunch
I am making the noise of those green martian toys in toy story whilst watching this video, Woooaaawww!
Hah! Nice
I have none of those... yet. 😐
well get to ordering!
Nice haul. I think are orders each month are almost identical. The Bone Orchard Mythos can be read in any order but the release order is: Prelude:Shadow Eater FCBD One-Shot The Passageway Ten Thousand Black Feathers Tenement
Thanks for the list!
Awesome shirt!💪🏻
Thanks! I do love it
Impressive packing job, by the company you ordered from!!
Yes they never let me down on that
This NEEDS a new printing.
This is also reprinted in the slightly smaller trim sized Uncanny X-Men Omnibus volume 3
Thanks for sharing!
You are welcome. Thanks for watching!
I'm with you on the art it's not my favorite but doesnt ruin the experience great review
There are certain panels/pages that are just awesome others less so.
Also am I the only one that doesn’t get how IST hasn’t sponsored Larry yet!?!?!?? Come on Cam!!!
Hah....I reached out to them a few months ago and they told me they were not looking for anymore sponsorship deals at this time.
Love hearing an experienced and knowledge nerd cover a modern book. Great video Larry as usual!
Hah-hah! Thanks man!
Superb top ten picks, Avengers 198 .. what a roster of talent and a fun issue. The Micronauts and Man-Thing, one of my favourite stories too. I hope Shogun Warriors gets collected, with ROM Micronauts and Godzilla, anything seems possible these days.
I'd love Shogun Warriors in a fat Gallery Edition!
I want to watch the video but don’t want spoilers. 😢😢😢😢
Hah-hah! Quick read book one!
I really disliked the first deluxe for this book. The writing didn’t work for me at all. Felt like it was written for teens and there was so much going on that made no sense. Like a principal telling a kid to punch someone, Erica (who is a master monster hunter) going into a store being clueless about what she’s getting and ends up buying a tiny hedge trimmer to kill monsters, her being a punk and having a terrible attitude towards the cops while being questions and nothing happening to her, the one guy being drunk on the job and admitting it and nothing happens to him, the insufferable boy entering the cave after being told many times not to and guess what happens??? Endless terrible writing decisions like this. I tend to be more critical than others though
Interesting! The hedge trimmer thing WAS stupid. I think I was intrigued by the plot and monster lore that I kind of ignored the silly tropes.
@@LarrysLibrary I can ignore some of it, but was just constantly rolling my eyes at all the stupid things happening due to poor writing.
Just got this and I'm glad to hear the quality continues from the first book.
I liked it a lot Eric. If you liked the first one you should like this too.
Just started watching your channel great stuff
Thanks!
I haven't read the first - but here because I love your videos but ok I am out
Hah! Thanks so much!
Great review, Larry.
Thanks Deathtone!
Why the tpb when compendium are cheaper
This set was a gift from my daughter. I don't know when/where they were purchased.
@@LarrysLibrary Going to get compendium as some volumes of tpb are out of print and deluxe is the same also expensive
Fantastic four 226 is the ff issue you was thinking of that had Shogun warriors. I read it but it didn’t mean much to me because I hadn’t read shogun warriors.
Thank you!
Cool list! Mine would have had some Star Wars and Ghost Rider on it
YES....I loved the OG Star Wars comic and Ghost Rider from this era too!
@@LarrysLibrary Specifically from 1980 SW #35 (cover reminds me a lot of X-Men #4) and any of the Empire Strikes back issues
I agree, Peter David is hands down, the best Hulk writer ever!!
Yes....not much of a contest really. I don't think any single writer has written half as much Hulk.
I agree with 4 of your choices, never got into the giant lizard, though. Also, have to mention, the Beatles are the most overrated groups of all time, sorry...
Hah-hah. We don't have to agree on everything. That's why there are so many bands and so many comics!
For me, 1980 was an amazing year for comics. I collected all of the Moon Knight issues, my sister collected the Savage She-Hulk comics. I really enjoyed reading Marvel comics from that period of time, and they inspired me to become an artist and a writer. Thank you for bringing back fond memories of my childhood with your marvelous channel.
Thank YOU for watching! Glad you enjoyed this. I am thinking about going on to 1981 and so on in future Top Tens
@@LarrysLibrary Definitely look forward to watching them Larry. Thanks again.
@@TheMukeshGandhi You are welcome
Check out PTSD Radio and Gou Tanabe’s Lovecraft adaptations
Sounds interesting
Great memories!! I had them all!!! Excellent art and stories!!!
Thanks! So much happened that year!
Great taste in comics and music.
Thanks!
This is a really fun topic. I think I started buying comics in 1982
Another GREAT year!
