It's awesome to see that you made this video, I hope it really helps ppl to decide which to get, or get rid of. I'm staying with by box set, and I think soon I'll read it again.
I wouldn’t trade the boxset for the omni’s, I’m still very happy with the boxset, much easier to read (even if i prefer oversized to a regular sized HC)
Poignant insight ! I love the slip case because I read everything laying down and any given Omnibus Weight is a struggle on my wrists vs gravity plus 1000 plus pages of content .
Thanks for clearing this one up, G. I got that Infinity Gauntlet slipcase myself. I won't let it go though lol. Slipcase>omnibus>single issues. Also, I was wondering, if you hear about upcoming slipcases that are coming out, could you make a video on it? I pray Marvel makes a Johnathan Hickman, Fantastic 4 slipcase!
@@DB-ej3mw Yeah I saw that too. But I'm not too into early stuff from the 50's and 60's. I want see art you'll find in stuff like The Sensational Spider-Man issue #40, Civil War, Infinity. Etc..
Have you seen the Infinity Gauntlet you can buy that you can wear and manipulate the fingers and thumb? It also lights up the stones and produces sounds. I saw it on Omnidog's channel.
I’ve been thinking about this as well. I actually think the main thing the omnibus’s have over the slipcase is that the stories are in order, where as with the slipcase unfortunately they’re not. The prologue is a book, the main story is a book, crossovers are their own book, etc. So it’s a bit of a pain to have to navigate that if you want to read it all in order. If I get rid of the slipcase, that will be why.
Can't really argue against that slip cover art. I'd be happy to pick up another boxed set truth be told. I have all of the first printing but you can never have enough.
I love that slip case , that's the one I would keep, and to another video you done the other day top ten story lines, Infinity Gauntlet would be in my top ten around 5 or 6
Nice video am so glad gauntlet is being rereleased as well as the new crusade Omnibus are coming. I paid for the slipcase back in December with a three months wait only to get it cancelled last month I was gutted. I may have to live without. The slipcase is still beautiful and amazing
@@GemMintCollectibles Well, you could talk about, what u think he did right, what he did wrong, 5G impact, Who they might hire next. 5 things he did right and five he did wrong. Highlights and low points of his era, a mini bio. You easily got a 10 min video right there. Start out with the bio, u can get info on Wikipedia about him. You seem like a no excuses kind of guy.
i prefer the omnibus editions, mostly for space issues on my shelf. the slipcase edition seems like overkill with all the double dipping. although Warlock and the Infinity Watch was a cool series, and there are some out of print trades of it out there. hopefully we can get that in it's entirety on it's own someday, and not part of a larger set.
After watching your Video of the Box set you did a year ago I ended up getting it over the Holidays and love it so much. I don’t mind double dipping because the Omni’s are Awesome too but if I had to pick one I’ll stick with the Box Set. It’s one of the better ones in the Market that I’ve seen. I don’t mind the standard size books ether. They are easier to read.
Box set is still available on IST. I think it's great and maybe if I had space I'd have gotten it for the extra issues. I like that it also has the Secret Wars Infinity Gauntlet in hardcover since it's only collected in trade format. But getting the three Omnis since it goes better with the Thanos Wars and that Infinity Saga Omnibus.
They both look amazing especially the slip case. The omnibus would be great with rest of your omni collection but for me I would rather the slip case 👍🏻
I literally made this decision a week ago. I went with the slipcase, it should arrive in the next couple of days. A big factor for me is that I love over-sized hardcover ( OHC ) but let's face it: Marvel omnibuses are the _least_ over-sized of the commonly available OHCs. They are barely larger than standard-sized from a height-by-width perspective. Compare them to D.C. Absolutes, Dark Horse Library Editions, Marvel King-Sized and Adamantium Editions, etc. and they don't look over-sized at all. i have at least one book of all of those I just mentioned and the Marvel omnis look like standard size next to those on my shelves. The thickness and weight is neither a plus nor a minus to me either, so an omni having a thousand pages doesn't help sell it to me. Gutter loss is a negative though, which can happen to omnis but rarely happens to books with page counts like the slipcase has. I also realized that the slipcases are fairly priced per page. So far they have been 3-4,000 pages per case, and IST/CGN/etc. always has them for 30-50% off at some point. If you work the math out the price is in line with other formats. I will say though that if you want ONLY the core Gauntlet story, and not every cross-over and extension like War and Crusade, don't bother with the slipcase. The actual core Gauntlet story is actually pretty short and has been reprinted in many formats and offerings over the years. You don't need either slipcase or omni if you just want a nice copy of the core story.
It has the first appearance of Thanos and it explains why Thanos was being revived during IG. Also it serves to understand why Warlock was in the Soul world and some other good and important stuff. It's good, corny and campy but good for its time. I had fun reading it
bro i was bout to buy origins, infinity g, and war damnit now crusade!! buuuut ya say oop has 600 plus extra pages??? can those be found in other tpb though?????? seriously i need to know before i shell out then....those extra pages seem as tpb books though if so i can get em n get the 2 books......damn....no one i know knows shit!!!
I bought the slipcase first, before Infinity War omni was released and Gauntlet was out of print. I got the Infinity War omni after but honestly, for this, I prefer the slipcase as the actual limited series are by themselves and easier to read. I don't like having them all mixed together as many of the crossovers are unnecessary, and often quite boring and take you out of the story. Plus, I like having the in-between stuff on it's own. Slipcase wins this time, even though I usually go for omnis.
I prefer these slipcases that are coming out, so much easier to buy a complete set of a storyline than buying multiple books and piecing them together. So far I have the Infinity, Avengers, 75th, Civil War, and Children of the Atom slipcases (COTA is on pre order!). I think these slipcases are awesome, but I would not pay full price for them. I paid $290 or less for all but the X-Men one that is only available on Amazon for pre order at $350.
Well if I had a lot more money and if they printed the Masterworks fast enough I would of went with those over the Omnibus's. Out of the choice singles, trades, was going with the over sized hardcovers but it just seemed like they were instantly reprinting those in Omnibus's format's and really the value wasn't there. I love my Omnibus collection and wish they would just hurry and print out volumes 4 and 5 of The Uncanny X-Men.
Bro the case set is raw no doubt. But I would say the 3 omnibus and if marvel makes a small omni with what's missing that would be about the same space as the set but in oversize format. Oversize format all day for me brother.
Have to say I like the omnibuses . Guess if you bought them all at cover price , the omnibuses would be about 425 total while the box set was 500. Is the extra content in the box set worth the extra 75 dollars though? Guess it depends how much it affects the story.
fuck the omnis, I'm keeping my box set. The artwork is killer on that box and it makes up for it being a standard format. If I had every omni like you tho, I'd be fine with the omnis
Omnibus for me. 1. They don't take up as much room as the box set and 2. The pages are larger, personally don't like standard size which is a reason I buy digital comics (can zoom in). No doubt the box set looks better from a presentation standpoint though.
for me (noob, Just read ''the black monday murders... awesome.. nad start Ultimate spiderman) ->case. But Omnibus sounds bit more pro.... Hard to say. Omnibus like i said is better then just a extra slip case i gues(which is cool btw ;))
It's awesome to see that you made this video, I hope it really helps ppl to decide which to get, or get rid of. I'm staying with by box set, and I think soon I'll read it again.

Now that's the kind of videos i live to seee )))
But everything in yr channel is ace my friend!
Much love from Greece!)
I wish they would make the box set OHC that would be great. Love the content

Slipcase>omnibus>single issues.
Also, I was wondering, if you hear about upcoming slipcases that are coming out, could you make a video on it? I pray Marvel makes a Johnathan Hickman, Fantastic 4 slipcase!
Son Goku X-men’s coming out in March.
@@DB-ej3mw Yeah I saw that too. But I'm not too into early stuff from the 50's and 60's. I want see art you'll find in stuff like The Sensational Spider-Man issue #40, Civil War, Infinity. Etc..
I also sold my box set when they announced the Infinity crusade omni. For the same reasons as well! Cheers Gem!
I was just wondering about this yesterday. Excellent video. Thank you!
Well I have and love both. Maybe a slight preference for the boxset.
I just picked the boxset up for a steal! So excited to get it!
No way in hell I'd let go of that slipcase for those omnis with less content.
Thanks, Gem Mint.
Have you seen the Infinity Gauntlet you can buy that you can wear and manipulate the fingers and thumb? It also lights up the stones and produces sounds. I saw it on Omnidog's channel.
Thanks for making this! Been debating this situation as I have the box set but almost exclusively collect Omnis.
New microphone and all. Great vid 🥃🥃

Dude I'm a poor boy wishing for that box set. I saved up for the 2 omnibus. I need that SLIPCASE! THANKS GEM!
DAMN that looks awesome.
Excelsior!!
Love the t-shirt bro my wife bought me the same one back when we were in Arlington Texas
Epic collection both look so cool
Thanks for the video, happy weekend, Gem!
Love you intros lately. That rap-shit is dope as hell too!
I'm double dipping but now it's not irrational. Thanks Gem!
Can't really argue against that slip cover art. I'd be happy to pick up another boxed set truth be told. I have all of the first printing but you can never have enough.
where u get that shirt and that Omnibus set? must have cause thanos fan since the beginning
Your intros are always fire af haha.
I got the same conundrum right now with the watchmen collectors edition vs. the absolute edition
I am definitely keeping my box set
Leave it to Gem, watching out for his crew. Thanks, brother.
That box art is awesome
When is it coming out?
Definetly the Omnis, that box set is beautiful but takes up too much space and I already collect manga, not too much space left 😭
Great review
I love that slip case , that's the one I would keep, and to another video you done the other day top ten story lines, Infinity Gauntlet would be in my top ten around 5 or 6

Totally awesome wish I could get that. Your videos are awesome
I’ve never been a fan of box sets so you already know which one I’m going for
Awesome video for those who want that box set instock still has them for $290.
I’d get the omni set than the box slip case. Still have most of 1st print comics of the Infinity saga but a few crossover issues.
Where is the video in Dan Didio being canned?
Justin Mohan haha not sure what I would talk about

Where can i buy the comics? I can t find them
How is this discontinued when it just came out? Every place i go to is sold out. Ughhh!!!
That box set dope!
Can anyone tell me when the reprint will come out please?
Anyone knows the date when it will be available to pre order it..? 😳
I'm would love to have them all as well, but like you I'll just stick with the omnibus because of space
Gonna have to think hard on this one. I don't have this run in any format.
i prefer the omnibus editions, mostly for space issues on my shelf. the slipcase edition seems like overkill with all the double dipping. although Warlock and the Infinity Watch was a cool series, and there are some out of print trades of it out there. hopefully we can get that in it's entirety on it's own someday, and not part of a larger set.

Considering adding the Aftermath trades to cover what isn't in the Omnis. 🤔 Guess we'll see when we find out what's in Crusade and Saga.
Will they reprint/ re-release this box set?
THE BOX SET LOOKS MUCH BETTER.💎👊🏽
I'm definitely an omni guy but I love the hell out of my Infinity and Civil War boxes
I have the box set but I want them both am ocd as hell when it comes to stuff like this lol
Can u do an updated every omnibus video for avengers and Deadpool and maybe do a video for every marvel event omnibus released so far. Also dope intro
As a member: do your get the videos earlier just on the computer or in the app as well?
I would have waited until the crusade omnibus is out and then make this video
They both look amazing especially the slip case. The omnibus would be great with rest of your omni collection but for me I would rather the slip case 👍🏻
When does the infinity crusade omnibus will be out ?
end of the year i believe

I already the box set, and I'm going to stick with that. It's pretty awesome and I ended up getting it really cheap.
Is the Thanos Wars: Infinity Origin omnibus the prequel to the IG and IW omni's?
Yesss
It has the first appearance of Thanos and it explains why Thanos was being revived during IG. Also it serves to understand why Warlock was in the Soul world and some other good and important stuff. It's good, corny and campy but good for its time. I had fun reading it
Is the infinity gauntlet omnibus reprint still coming out soon ???
end of the year
If money was'nt an issue...I'd go for the box set, really dig the box itself...stay minty!
Good to know for the future dude. Got a lot of other books to get before these though 😂
That box set is awesome. Send that to me please but shipping will be costly coz I'm in New Zealand Lol!!!
Im surprised Marvel never released a multi volume omnibus covering Civil War. Or am I wrong and they did?
Does the outer box line up size-wise to an omni? Also, do you think it would be feasible for Marvel to release an Infinity Watch omni?
does anyone know where to get one I need one but Amazon is like 1000 bucks
bro i was bout to buy origins, infinity g, and war damnit now crusade!! buuuut ya say oop has 600 plus extra pages??? can those be found in other tpb though?????? seriously i need to know before i shell out then....those extra pages seem as tpb books though if so i can get em n get the 2 books......damn....no one i know knows shit!!!
for the two omnibuses, what do you read first? infinity war or infinity gauntlet? sorry im new
@GRINGO you read gauntlet first
@@SergeQX ty
If the boxset had been OHC It would have easily been the keeper in my opinion, because of this I prefer the omnis. ✌️
I made the opposite decision because of the extra material in the box set. To each his own.

These box sets are superior in my opinion. Only issue I have with the box sets is that I wish the size of the pages were on par with the omnibus.
I prefer these slipcases that are coming out, so much easier to buy a complete set of a storyline than buying multiple books and piecing them together. So far I have the Infinity, Avengers, 75th, Civil War, and Children of the Atom slipcases (COTA is on pre order!). I think these slipcases are awesome, but I would not pay full price for them. I paid $290 or less for all but the X-Men one that is only available on Amazon for pre order at $350.
Are we calling that a slipcase thoo?
Omnibus because of the space oversized format and it’s a better look on the shelf
NO, NO, NO, GEM! The box set is WAY COOLER with the extra material, as well as that DOPE SLIPCASE! #KEEPTHEBOX
I just bought a 9.6 cgc of Infinity war #1 for 35 bucks.
I prefer the Slipcase, it's more complete.
