I really love the Absolute edition but like you said it’s missing the tie-in books! I gotta double dip and get this one, especially since it was my first book back into comics.
Bro I'm glad u did this video for ya boy... I been wanting this omni to happen for over a year... I just got mine and love this shit. Got mine next to me while watching this. 🔥
I completely missed the Metal event, at the time I was only buying all the ongoing on my pull list and had completely stopped reading any of them for 2 years. It was just before Death Metal when I actually started reading them again, I had a massive stack of hundreds of comics to read. I remember it took me like 5 weeks of reading 10-15 comics per day to get through them all. But I had to watch a UA-cam video that recapped the Metal event right before I started to read Death Metal, I think the UA-cam video was like 11 hours long haha.
I remember the very first time I ever watched one of your videos was like probably maybe five years ago or less I'm not sure but I remember it was because I was like looking up how to properly open up an omnibus because I was considering getting the blackest night omnibus for the anniversary
yeah the reason why the Batman who laughs story wasn't in it is because that happened after the metal series that's in between death metal and metal they actually have a deluxe 1 coming out of the Batman who laughs storyline which will also include the Grimm Knight number one b I forget the venting extra besides that but it will be coming out relatively soon I think
I got the absolute and Im like theres so much missing Ill wait for the Omnibus... Australia DM version cost $270au and If I wait for regular stores to get it. I pre ordered it at $140au says end of Feb...
This is the first event I read. This really is what I used to get into comics. I own 2 of the 4 tpb’s. This is so tempting but I just can’t justify the double dipping.
It feels weird how much is kinda left out i wanna say, but looking at how they really mapped it well, hopefully they're saving all the other "tales from the multiverse" kinda stuff to put in between the stories in a Death Metal Omni I still just feel weird about the higher price/newer story/basically a vol 1 for Metal with 2 needing to be everything else, and looking at the literal hulk sized immortal tome, you gotta look at it sideways with the current economy haha
Hi, I'm trying to get into comics and I heard good things about this story and want some help. It may be a dumb question, so bear with me. I can see that this book has 760 pages and supposedly contains all the necessary material, but when I was adding up number of pages of individual issues - it totals to a higher count. Why is that? Did each issue individually had some other content that wasn't part of the story, or is this "omnibus" release shortened somehow? Do I really need only this? In the video it's said that the Absolute edition has less tie-ins, but the quality of the book is better? Would it be better to get the Absolute edition for the quality and get tie-ins other way? Thanks!
Is this story 'standalone' i have a decent understanding of dc but im not an expert. I mainly read batman, justice league and green lantern. I would like to read this and hope not to get confused
Have u done one on bothering darkness compendium volume 1 and 2 n if u have not can u. I would love to see n hear what u think . Love u channel n thank u. Can not wait for ur next video.
Hi, video is great. I had to stop watching tho, worried about spoilers. I’m currently reading Batman vol 2 omni by snyder and capullo. I’m on the super heavy storyline. Which should I read next like order wise? This one? Thanks.
Marvel event omnibus editions are a JOKE compared to this masterpiece, the order is precious and well laid out, not like the Marvel counterparts where you get the main books upfront then the tie-ins in ABC order.
I bought the issues for Greg Capullo's art, Scott Snyder had a great run on Batman but he really lost me with this crossover and his Justice Leage run. My favorite issues where the one-shots about the Nightmare Batmans. I bought Death Metal also for the art but really couldn't care less about the story, it was all just too much nonsense for my taste.
This is one of the first comics I read when I got back into it. I loved it and read it half a dozen times or more
Yooo same here
Same here. Crisis and New 52 never did anything for me but Metal was awesome especially Death Metal.
@@sbvs292 Funnily enough, I think Snyders batman run was one of if not the only N52 stuff I read
I hope they drop the Death Metal omnibus soon!

I'm collecting the entire XM Studios line of statues for these characters and this will now be my first omnibus.
This is yet another storyline I didn't read, yet hear everyone raving about it. Might have to pick this up

Let's go! Mine is on the way from good ol Organic Priced Books!
I got the absolute and Im like theres so much missing Ill wait for the Omnibus...
Australia DM version cost $270au and If I wait for regular stores to get it. I pre ordered it at $140au says end of Feb...
Is this one the entire story or would I need another omnibus/cillection?

More DC omnibus pleaseee
Looks dope, but $150...woah. That's def on the high end.
I just got mine in yesterday and for as small as it was for an omnibus you would think there would have been a lot more extras.
Mine is on backorder...Hope it does not get cancelled.
Got that for 75 on Amazon!
The coloring on this book looks fantastic.
Seeing a lot of mixed reviews for this event. Worth picking up for a knightfall/dark knight returns fan?
Marvel omnibus is getting better, Venomnibus is great. I hope Immortal Hulk omnibus is in proper reading order as well.
Sick! 💯💯💯

dark metal omni contents got released, they aren't in there either
It was $80 something on Amazon but price now is still cheaper than retail price
probably when I get around you I'll get the version you were showing in the beginning of the video but I got the other cover
Looking forward too this one!
Picked up mine and I’m happy with it!
Has anyone heard anything about a Batman Beyond Omnibus?
Pretty cool storyline

Bought my copy for $60 on IST. Not exaggerating.
That was a one day mistake. It's back to 75
@@ladvoc Thankfully we got ours for $60!

This is sick.

That is a one cool omnibus
Hey Gem any tips for selling collectibles ? I’m trying to get rid of my the child plush by Mattel creations
$195 Canadian for such a small book makes it a pass for me
Got it for $113 CDN on Amazon before taxes
@@numptyur that's a much better price lol, I have the whole event in singles including the tie ins so maybe someday I'll upgrade lol
Does have all of the collections and spin offs
I go my copy .
Are they doing a dark knights death metal omnibus?
Looks awesome.
the like is for gem
I diiid indeed ask u about this omni

New 52 to the end of death metal was amazing except wonder woman beating the darkest knight was meh shouldve been batman and it was perfection

Cool 😎
I feel like I'm the only person who just absolutely did not like Dark Nights Metal. It just didn't jive with me.
Superb review sir Gemster..got this on pre-order..should drop anyday now..nice one..!!

Thanks for another great review! 🙂
I did not like this run at all. I was disappointed with it and they want $150 for it. No way.
Hard sell for yet another Batman book I love the character but there’s too much of him. Rather support the indies just being honest.
Meh 🥱
