Fantastic video! Very comprehensive covering all the different editions and reading points. You are really doing the comic community a service by not only covering these releases, but also letting new readers know where to start. With so many tie-ins and story lines in DC (and comics in general), it's really easy to get lost. 👍
btw, how's that collection video coming along? 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 Thank you so much Dave!
Fantastic video, it really help me understand this omnibus edition. You should do a video like this about infinite crisis! Congratulations on the content
Wow, I'm loving how comprehensive this book looks and the amount of material it collects.
Great video and I shall be picking this up.
Coverage of any major big book earlier than anywhere else would be great like this. Outstanding!
What a beautiful beast. I'm often alienated by huge events because they're scattered across several stray volumes and one-shots so collecting it into this brick appeals to me greatly. I think they did similar with Infinite Crisis.
I love your production quality and your videos are always super informative. Thank you so much. I am only recently getting back into comics after a major hiatus and this has sold me on picking this up.
Whoa! Thank you so much for the extremely positive feedback! I'm happy that you are back as nearly everybody is killin' it with great titles dropping each week.
You’re channel keeps getting better! Great video buddy! Started reading this today!
Thanks man! Let me know what you think once you are done reading!
Alex great video as always! I miss seeing your weekly comic book haul videos. But regardless thank you for putting out exceptional quality videos. I look forward to them every time!
Thank you! I miss doing them too but want to put the focus diving into key books rather than rushing through the purchases of the week. That said, I always do post pics of my hauls on Twitter and Instagram.
I don't mind black cover. DJ is absolutely stunning and I'm glad for all the collected material in one place.
So glad I found this channel
Great review and very detailed video I love how you compare to other editions previously released and recommend the reader what to get or read first I definitely will pick this up
Brian Lujan Thank you much! Hopefully I haven’t confused anybody and covered everything needed to prep the reader.
Dope, Thanks for the information sir.
Daaamn it's a big book! Thank's a lot for the video
Can´t wait to read the whole event in it´s entirety for the first time. Love the main event but to read the extended story has always been a wish of mine. Great fotage as usual and great inspiration!
I hope you get to do a review on it!
Man! Look the comparison between the Absolute and the Omnibus! Great video as always man!
Cheers!!
Awesome coverage
Where was this channel when I bought my paperback copy of Final Crisis? Love the overview of Omnibus and Deluxe Editions. Truly enjoy reading a story from start to finish; and these collections are an awesome weekend reading comic.
Thank you! I’m trying to discipline myself and this channel to cover my collection but divided up per relevant storylines.
Thank you, this is exactly what I needed to know before buying.
I don't even collect comics anymore, but I love your videos man. Can't believe it's been 10 years since Final Crisis.
Joe Dee I know! Makes me feel really old now.
You're the best man. Thanks for doing this video!
No problem and thank you so much !!
This feels like a true complete collection. Thank you for the detailed review
Vincentdante It definitely is!
amazing! thanks!
I realized I basically own an absolute version (in spanish) after watching this video, hardcover as well, and I think I'm happy with it. I wish DC did a reprint of the absolute edition and maybe passed it off as Deluxe or such, the Omni is very nice but that matte black cover is so uncool.
Increible video, seria genial si pudieras hacer más seguidos. Sé que es un proceso largo y dificil, pero es que tus videos son demasiado buenos. Un saludo!
Muchas gracias! ¡Ojalá este fuera mi trabajo a tiempo completo para poder leer y compartir videos semanalmente e incluso a diario!
You got yourself a new subscriber love your setup
Thanks man!
I just noticed this channel seems to only review DC and Vertigo books. Either way great videos and really helpful
You really don’t need Death of the New Gods as a lead in because that war and all those deaths are very different from the tone of that war in FC.
I prefer the inner black covers. Nice and clean.
Wish we could get a flashpoint Omni down the road
I hope so too. Need to upgrade the HC & TPB's.
I’m definitely going to pick up the absolute edition. Oh and I love your channel!!
You’re in luck! In April 2021, a full omnibus is coming!
Jackson Lake that will definitely be purchased
@@davo7045 Yooo guys. It’s happening
terror titans and legion of 3 worlds also with ''ı still have your sword'' moment was awesome
Thia looks absolutely insane! I've got it preordered. Previously, I've only read Batman R.I.P. and the first Final Crisis hardcover, so it will be nice to finally get to fill in all the blanks. Suffice it to say, I was left a bit confused on my first read through. :P
Nicolaus Camp I think it confused anybody who didn’t read the key books prior to this event.
Hope you come back, Man. You made great content
Thanks for replying on Twitter! If you made a video a day, I’d watch it =) can’t wait for the Alex Ross Kingdom Come video and I would like to see what content is double dipped in the upcoming Spider-Man by McFarlane / Spider-Man vs Venom omnibus
Thanks!! Yes I have a whole pipeline but Im currently mainly DC here.
Love the video
This one is a beast I think the New Gods one squeaks it out as biggest DC Omni
I found Grant's Morrison Rubik's Cube main story quite complex and ultimately not as fun as I expected (I will give it a new try). But I enjoyed some of the tie-ins, specially Legion of 3 Worlds, the twists, the characters, it was my first time knowing about some ones like Queen Saturna... every issue was so delightful. Thanks for the insights on this omnibus.
Who and why would this video get voted down EVER!!! Great stuff
I always get a half a dozen or so downvotes no matter what video I’ll post. The next one will be very risky and potentially going to have a lot of downvotes.
Looks amazing I'll take a break on manga and save up
Nice video, already pre-ordered the book and will come soon from England! Any printing issue so far or anything?
Thanks! Haven’t noticed any printing issues and hopefully none will crop up.
I just got the reprint of this book and am rly pleased with it except I’m kinda worried coz I noticed that at the tip of the ribbon it’s slightly detached from the pages. Would you say this is an issue?
Wow!!!
Thank you for profiling this! The black cover under the Dustjacket is annoying and I think RIP does not need to be there but the way the omni is organized is amazing. I wish Marvel would take note of this instead of how they organize their crossover omnis
Thank you so much! I wish I had time to dive into Marvel again so I can see how they do it. I think the RIP the missing chapters definitely needs to be there but you need to read RIP to understand how it got there. Possibly it would be unfair to force the reader to buy the Grant Morrison Omnibus so I can see the team adding it in there. I prefer them doing this more than focusing on the extras. We can always buy the Absolute edition if we want all the extras.
Agreed about RIP. I see TDE's point, but it still makes the omni feel a bit less "everything you need" since RIP itself doesn't make much sense without all the Batman issues before it in Grant's run. It's a lose/lose scenario though since The Missing Chapter is essential, so I guess more is better.
I have this omnibus but I found out that they will release an 'new edition omnibus' in December? What will be the difference then?
Backround reading: everything
Now that we got that out the way you can read it
This was Grant Morrison at his best. He just finished Batman RIP and was just about to start Batman and Robin. These are 2 of Grant Morrison’s best series. I read his Batman run every year or two. It’s just so good. This book here is confusing upon first read. It reminds me of Stanly Kubrick and how he just plants you in a scene without giving any context. You just have to gather what’s happening based on what you are given on the page. But everything is there, you Just have to look closely and read carefully. You definitely can’t breeze through it. Make sure you understand what is being said and how it relates to the scene in front of you. Or else you’ll get lost. But as I said, it is all there. Especially upon 2nd and 3rd read.
Please please do infinite crisis definitely my favorite of all time
5:15 nice mug!
Where can i get one of those?
And how much is it?
Amazon and Ebay. Just search for “Creepy Cage Face Mug”.
@@TheDeluxeEdition OH MY GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH
also nice video btw
Do you think that the story line would be clear enough with getting a collection of:
Crisis of Infinite Earths - Deluxe
Infinite Crisis - Omnibus (new)
52 - Omnibus
Final Crisis - Omnibus 10th Anniversary
or would i be missing a lot of content?
I think you'll enjoy all three most definitely.
Read identity crisis before infinite crisis if you can find a copy
Hey, love your work! I'm only a year in to collecting but hoping to build a comic room as awesome as yours one day.
Quick question: do you know any international sites with good pricing? InStockTrades seems like the clear #1 place to buy for the North American market. I'm based in the UK and am struggling to find an equivalent with good savings. Hopefully you'll have some tips to share. Thanks!
Thank you! Sorry I don’t know any international sites besides buying from Amazon and IST. I grew up in Australia before moving to the US so I know how expensive this hobby can get. Is there a problem with Amazon UK getting these Omnis? I would think they would be the best and you can easily return any damaged books (even if it takes several attempts to finally get a good copy)
No, they generally have good stock but the saving isn't anywhere close to the ~50% IST offers. Amazon UK generally takes about a third off of the RRP. Other UK comic stores are variable but they always charge more than Amazon. If you factor in currency conversion from British Pounds to US Dollars, sometimes we're paying fairly close to the American retail price, so I get jealous of you lucky IST customers!
Obviously I'd rather support my local stores but the bottom line is that none of them even come close to competing. I'd pay hundreds of pounds more per year if I didn't use Amazon for the biggies - omnibus/absolutes/etc.
Lang7 I always try to support my local comic store first and fortunately I do get an amazing discount. Not IST level in the first week of discounts but the customer service and return policy far beats IST. Like Amazon, I want the guarantee that I can exchange it if I get a badly manufactured copy.
I dont know how i feel about that binding
I’m a relatively new DC/Batman reader... I’ve mostly read Marvel. I just picked up all three Morrison Omni’s... I’m wondering, would you recommend this omnibus or just pick up the trades so I get the story for Morrison’s Batman run?
Final Crisis is hard to get into as a new DC reader but you shouldn't have any problems with the Batman Morrison run even with the Final Crisis Tie-ins. Sounds like we are the opposite now as I have been catching up with Marvel (mostly x-titles) only.
The non 10thedition sells for half, is there any real difference?
You should do a room tour
I saw many reading orders to Final Crisis but Is there reading order included every preparing comic books? for example death of a new gods, countdown and other stuff?
I covered my personal reading order in the video to get the most out of Final Crisis but its no way the official route to go by. From what I recall, Morrison didn't like the route Countdown was going and rebelled editorial. Hence we never got the seamless continuation from Countdown.
@@TheDeluxeEdition I know And its best order yet, thank you! So countdown... I want to read it but heard about it. Maybe is enough last twenty something issues? I have new edition paperback, I enjoy it but english Is not my language And i didnt have preparation So i dont get it all
I read LEGION OF THREE WORLDS and it seemed to stand up as a standalone story. Can you explain how it ties into FINAL CRISIS? Thanks, in advance.
Pretty much Johns made it self contained but have minor references in the event .
What u should u read before final crisis
*Snyder teases Final Crisis*
*UA-cam: "Dump it all"*
Yesss
I'm kinda disappointed that it came with a black cover. They did the same to the loeb Omnibus. Hopefully it's not a trend.
Agreed but I am still going to be picking up the Loeb Omni as well as Arkham... Still on my to buy list! Fingers crossed for the next Omnibus which I believe is Red Hood (totally can't wait for that).
@@TheDeluxeEdition the arkham saga omnibus also has the crappy black cardboard...I dont understand who makes these calls as infinite crisis and seven soldiers both recently had the quality production. So confusing
It is a trend all the golden age omnibus have does black covers to
@@Daann01 its not a trend though, aside from the golden age to bronze age omnis there is no consistency. George Perez Wonder Woman omni vol 1 had a beautiful cover under the jacket and then 2 and 3 had the black cardboard. Batman and Robin and the Knightfall omnis have art then the Loeb Sale and Arkham ones don't. It is maddening.
@@nivekleveb8872 yeah your right but it's slowly becoming a trend and yes i agree with you it's maddening
Is final crisis in the crisis on infinite earths box set
If I intend to read grant morrison's batman omnibus, is there any essential reading before diving in?
Not essential reading but there is an out of print trade called Batman: The Black Casebook which collects stories that inspired Morrison’s RIP arc.
I'm sorta confused. You said Countdown to Final Crisis #50 but you showed #2. Can you clear that up for me?
This or infinite crisis? I cant decide which to get.
Where did you get your ABSOLUTE FINAL CRISIS? I need it!!!
dude, can u please explain in text the order to read final crisis and i am just a beginner.
Can someone talk me what differ between anniversary edition and new edition at 2020?
From what I’ve seen they both have the same content. I have the non anniversary edition and the binding is way better. You actually have an eye so there’s a lot less gutter loss
Guy’s would you recommend reading the “Crisis” stories in this order? Will be looking to get the omnibus/absolute editions of each also whichever is best value/includes the most content..
Identity Crisis.
Crisis On Infinite Earths.
Infinite Crisis Omnibus/Absolute.
Final Crisis absolute 10th Anniversary.
Read Crisis on Infinite Earths before Identity Crisis. Identity Crisis should come directly before Infinite Crisis. I'm looking into reading all of these myself. I've already read Crisis on Infinite Earths, and I hear Identity Crisis has mixed reception so I think I'm jumping into the Infinite Crisis omnibus next.
You also may want to read the 52 omnibus after Infinite Crisis. It's a direct sequel, and the omnibus collects all 52 issues. I'm not 100% sure if that's necessary though.
Im not a fan of the design on this book & it probably could of been 2 volumes but at least we are getting all the material in collected format
Greetings from Jakarta.. So Death of the New Gods is not included in this Omnibus?
Hi! Unfortunately not and I believe it’s pretty hard to find.
@@TheDeluxeEdition no worries.. Thanks for the info ✌️✌️
So wait a minute. I can just get the omnibus and I’ll get all the essential read that I need to to before The Final Crisis ?
Forgive my ignorance, but how necessary is it to read final crisis before reading blackest night?
not really necessary aside from knowing 2 major Justice League members died in Final Crisis
I’m pretty sure it gets recapped in an earlier Blackest Night issue
There is actually no content that shows the "War in Heaven" as Morrison intended. DotNG was made outside of his intentions as he originally wanted the New Gods to be left alone for a while before Final Crisis. Instead editorial decided to overuse them in Countdown and brought Jim Starlin in for DotNG which contradicts FC.
The closest thing to a true prelude to FC that ties into the story the best way it can without any continuity issues while revealing things about the New Gods and the War in Heaven is Seven Soldiers; Mister Miracle.
I have read Crisis on Infinite Earths, Infinite Crisis, Identity Crisis, and Grant Morrison's Batman. I recently finished the Final Crisis Omnibus and I still feel I was missing some pertinent information.
One of the aspects of reading Grant Morrison runs. I’m sure if you go back, you’ll get more info too.
Confederate Sun in his writing, Morrison tends to assume that you have read everything that he has... and this can be a huge problem if you haven’t. When I first read the series years ago, I had not read any of the surrounding material, and frankly I thought it completely sucked.
Since then, I have managed to read some of the other related stuff, which helps, but I still only consider Final Crisis to be marginal.
Can you read this and enjoy it without having too much knowledge of DC comics? It looks like a really cool event and artwork seems pretty consistent
I think you’ll appreciate it but will end up looking up a lot of things to make sense of parts .
Should I read the batman omnibus first or the final crisis one?
I think they both can be read individually as you are getting it in Omni form. If you only care about Final Crisis and not the other Batman story arcs... then there is no need to read the Batman three volume omnis.
@@TheDeluxeEdition okay, but what is chronological order?
Nice video bro, it is very helpful, I hope you return to making videos, be safe. Regards
Thank you!! Still finalizing the new room....
snyder
Is that the 2017 Mr miracle?
Its Shilo Norman as MM not Scott Free.
@@TheDeluxeEdition thank you
Do you think young justice outsiders is leading to the final crisis
They made a book that big and gave it a glued binding? That is not going to age well at all.
Oh shit! This channel is bad for my wallet!
Totally understandable. I was concerned that if I was doing this full time ... readers here may need to take out a 2nd mortgage 😁
Just ordered this online! Can't wait, now I just need to decide where to put it on my shelf. next to Seven Soldiers omni, 52 omni, or Morrison Batman omni.
Jesus christ, what a bunch of convoluted mess. This is so ridiculous. I hate these events where it demands so much from the reader to read all these stupid obscure titles. What the fuck is even SEVEN SOLDIERS OF VICTORY, or TERROR OF THE TITANS? I have NEVER seen that shit before and I've been following comics for decades.. and it is required to read for such a popular even that is Final Crisis? What a giant mess.
