"The reading order video series" is amazing! Thank you for this! Looking forward to other reading order uploads!
Frank B401 thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment. I plan on doing lots more.
Man your collection is Epic in itself.
niknsync thank you, sir! Seriously
Best episodes ever !! Well done
MutantAli3n thank you for the kind words and watching!
I grew up in the 70s and Sal Buscema is still my favorite Hulk artist!
You know, I still love his artwork.
Damn, I'm with you. I love David's run so much I'd be perfectly willing to buy it both in Epic Collections AND omni format....would keep both. Take epics on trips to read and enjoy the omni's at home.
Joser's Reviews now you’re talking my dood! I’d gift mine to a friend. :)
I love how the older comics have so much to read in each issue.
They sure take a longer time to read. :) Not that it's a bad thing.
THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!
trigganosis81 thanks for watching, my dood!
Omar, thank you so much for doing this. I saw some of those Peter David books at my local shop, but I didn't know about picking them up until I saw the art. I'll be heading to IST to get that Future Imperfect book.
El Vaquero vaquero thank you so much for watching!
I once asked Peter David who his favorite artist to work with was and his response was George Perez on Future Imperfect. It is one of the best Hulk stories ever told. Enjoy.
Picked up some Hulk books so of course I'm rewatching these videos :) Part two is where I really need to pay attention. It's crazy thinking that since you made this we got 5 freaking Peter David omnis!!! Now c'mon Bruce Jones!! Never read any of that but heard nothing but good things.
Great video, Omar! So glad to see you're a huge fan of the Epic Collections! They're the best versions of these classic collections in my mind!
If I'm not custom binding them...the Epic collection is the way to go. :)
Can you do a video like this for thor please?
Leo Wolf sure thing. Much like Hulk I collect the early Thor books in Epic format as I sold my two omnis. But I’ll be happy to work on that.
that's stopped
Hopefully MARVEL Godzilla will return one day as a complete collection.
Dude! Was literally wondering this morning when the next one of these vids would drop! Man, those spines set off my matching spine disorder... ;)
Thomas Judge hahahahaha. You and me both, brother!
I just got the Bill Mantle INCREDIBLE HULK trilogy of PARDONED, REGRESSION, and CROSSROADS off eBay in the mail today.
I only got Incredible Hulk Pardoned, which was a great milestone story of the Hulk being pardoned for his rampaging past while he has the brain of Robert Bruce Banner, great story that was
I’m amazed how much hasn’t been made yet in those early hulks. Len Wein on hulk was awesome.
There is a real dearth of Hulk Omnibuses. I've got most of the Peter David Visionaries and Peter David Epic tpbs. They should really do some Peter David Omnibus collections though it's nice getting them cheaply with the Epic line. Since some of the Visionaries are getting pricey and are OOP, they either need to do an Omnibus or release some more Epic collections covering the issues the Visionaries do. And, yes, Sal Buscema is very underrated. I didn't appreciate his art until I got older. They never did a second John Byrne Hulk Visionaries because he only did six issues and quit over that Marvel Fanfare story getting rejected for the main title so that first volume collects all he did.
Smotlock it’s insane how popular his run is and it gets little love in the collected editions department. The John Byrne visionaries I was hoping they would collect his second run on the book that kicked off Volume 2. Which I’ll talk about next time. So now I’ll be waiting for that Epic.
@@NearMintCondition Ah, yeah. I was just thinking about the run where he did the art and writing. Wasn't thinking about volume two where he was just writing. Though they did collect it in a different format.
They sure did. Which will be in my part 2 of the reading order. :)
@@NearMintCondition I just checked and volume 5 of the Peter David Hulk Visionaries, which I don' t have, can not be found for less than 90 dollars on E-bay or used on Amazon. That is just freaking ridiculous. I do have the individual David and Keown issues as I was buying them as they came out and it was my favorite run of Hulk ever and possibly my favorite monthly at the time despite not being a big Hulk fan previously. Anyway, as likely the most popular run of the Hulk ever, at least during the McFarlane, Keown, and Frank runs, there is no reason why there should not be an Omnibus or three collecting this material.
Amazing collection. Great vid
Thank you for the kind words!
Great video as usual.
Thanks very informative.
I wish I had that Hulk omnibus too
Great video my friend!
Hablando Comic thank you for watching my brother. I keep meaning on hitting you up to do a video. Perhaps a crossover video sometime soon!
Love this. Please do part 2 soon!
Part two will be coming in the next couple of weeks. For sure.
Just...thank you!
Tolga Berk thank you for your support always, brother.
I have the first 3 Matserworks of the Hulk plus Volume 6 and the Leader Lives Epic Collection but unfortunately I missed out on "In the Hands of HYDRA" and "Who Will Judge the Hulk?" before they got too expensive. I'd love to find them or even Matserworks 4-5 and 7-8 in decent condition at affordable prices. I did buy Crisis on Counter-Earth and will be sure to get any after that as soon as I can to make sure they don't go out of print. I also own the Heart of the Atom collection as well as various back issues. The high point of my Hulk collection is issues 269-448 collected over 16 graphic novels (Pardoned, Regression, Crossroads, the Going Gray Epic Collection, the Peter David Visionaries series and Epic Collections 19-22) except for #296 because that features Rom and Marvel can't reprint anything featuring him so it kind of doesn't count. It's the longest unbroken stretch of Marvel comics in my collection aside from fantastic Four 164-361 even if I only read up to 355 (I have the Epic Collection The New Fantastic Four), but those are spread out across graphic novels and copies of the original issues.
Could you please do a reading order for Deadpool and Batman?
kytim89 Batman will have to be split up in three parts. It’s a huge chunk of reading, but I’d love to do that.
I hope they reprint The visionaries because Peter David’s run is my favourite of all time
John Williams I hope we get omnis :)
Near Mint Condition that is my dream
@@johnwilliams2183your dream has come true
@@Charles.Ramsden
Just bought Volume 20 at my local comic shop for $20. So stoked to collect others after watching this
Very excited for you to get these.
Just a sublime video, Omar. I LOVE when you do these videos. I always find out something new that I didn't know before. I agree with you that Marvel NEEDS to do Omnis of the Peter David run. David's run is, in my mind, second only to Chris Claremont in having superior storytelling over many, many years. I would really like you to do an X-Factor Reading Order video, I know that would be a popular video. Once again, I bow to your mastery of these videos, brother. A++++++++ #OmarRules
You sir, are the kindest!! I will definitely do an X-factor reading order. I promise!! :)
Great video as always. I'm starting to collect Xmen from Onslaught to present era, so I'd love a video (or two) of those collected editions.
Rael that’s how I started this Reading comprehension lists. :) my love of X-men. I have three videos just for X-men. If you look at the channel you can find them that way or on the comic reading order playlist.
Really? I have to find them right now, thanks
I want to read the Peter David run. But I won't get the epic collection until I'm able to get access from the beginning of his run. I bet you that by the time they do the epic from the start of David's run, the other books will be out of print. That almost happened to me with Claremont X-men
Katsudon305 it’s ridiculous how they keep these things in print. I get the need to print them out of order, but at least keep the volumes in print.
@@NearMintCondition I'm waiting for the reprint announcement for Power Mand and Iron Fist epic collection. Been wanting to grab that along with Iron Fist Epic
If they think a (Peter David) Hulk omnibus would not sell, they could at least publish a David & MCFARLANE Hulk omnibus!
McFarlane always sells. Then they could stop or continue with a second volume, hoping that enough people would follow.
Hank Moody he was always teamed up with phenomenal artists. It’s almost a no damn brainer... but instead we get Red Hulk!
Dude you could do this for Thanos! Or for Street Fighter Udon stuff
Ch Sion this is truly a first for the Street Fighter books that I would be happy to do.
thanks for posting, i love seeing these collections in order! is there enough material to do a x-23 reading order? im just getting into the character
Thank you for the kind words. As far as X-23, there really isn't enough material other than when she becomes All New Wolverine. But perhaps I can talk about how all that fits in.
Love it😍😍😍😍
Greko Bully Kamp thank you so much for watching!
Great vid once again man. Just wanted to let you know there will never be a volume 2 to John Byrnes run because his run was only 6 issues. Al Milgrom took over the title until Peter David with issue 331 (or whichever is the first issue in your visionaries of PAD volume 1). If you can still find that Bryne Book, I recommend snagging it quick :) Have a wonderful day brother.
Joser's Reviews Thanks brother, you as well. The John Byrne visionaries I was hoping they would collect his second run on the book that kicked off Volume 2. Which I’ll talk about next time. So now I’ll be waiting for that Epic.
@@NearMintCondition Got you, forgot about that run. Didn't he do 12 issues then the stuff coming in the Dogs of War next week take over...Jenkins right? I honestly lost interest in the hulk for a good long while after Peter David left.
I really enjoyed that first Hulk Epic.
I've arbitrarily decided to collect Marvel Silver Age stuff in Epic form and I'm pretty happy with the decision. Having said that, I've been trekking through that second Epic for months. Some of the art is dreadful.
Hulk by Peter David has been one of the most requested omnis since forever. I think someone in the collections department has a grudge.
Randomtask68 I agree about David’s Hulk. None of his runs get any omni treatment. Hulk, X-factor, Captain Marvel... even at DC with Supergirl and Aquaman!
I'm about to purchase quite a few Hulk trades...thanks for the video
Zak Ahmed I hope you enjoy all these great stories.
Sweet, just bought 2 and 3 in Epic Line
I love the epic line, sir.
LOVE THE HULK...i'm going epics due to the fact that the seems like 0% chance these ever get any kind of OHC all the way through
phillip evans a man can dream ,brother. A man can dream.
These videos are amazing man good job! I’m sure you saw that they announced the Peter David Hulk Omnibus! I’m bummed out though that the Epic Collection 21 is crazy expensive now...
I did, as a matter of fact I got the honor to announce it on the channel :) It's such a great moment.
Near Mint Condition Wow that is an honour!
Yes, Marvel has been great to the channel.
Do daredevil
Luke Hymers will do!
Can you do a review of the infinity gauntlet box set
Abraham Andrade I’m going to do a cosmic saga readathon when Infinity War comes out.
That todd McFarland era is the only time i had any interist in hulk & actually thought he was koo for a little while . wen he was wearing that hat but not koo enough to actually bother reading his series just koo enough to flipp threw the pages 😂
#JaYrOx man, David was teamed up with some great artists.
@@NearMintCondition i heard you mention travist chares who im a fan of love his star wars covers , i didnt know he worked on hulk & sharp is hit & miss with me love his aliens stuff but on hero comics he can draw the guys a bit to muscular which reminds me of 90s art the bad 90s art not the great 90s art
Huuuuge fan of that guy too. I miss his monthly comics. The last thing I saw with his works was the Metabarons book.
I didnt know he worked on metabarons ive heard of that title but dont know anything about it
wow, awesome comics of the hulk
roar!
No8Named8Shadow right back at you!
Great video bro! Great info ;)
#AcCollection
Thank you so much!
Need some off this stuff in omnibus come on marvel hulk one off my top 5 ever 👍👍
We sure do. It would be great to have that Peter David Hulk run in Omnibus format!
Yes it a must maybe next year as have not see any news off it for this year just like lack off dc superman omnibus would sure sell 👍👍👍👍
I was gonna pass on those late Peter David epics, but after seeing the art...damn. Dale Keown and Gary Frank. Great stuff! By the time those stories are potentially collected in omni form...(what, in volume 3 or 4?), I’ll be a grandfather.
I say it would take four fat omnis to do all his run. But yeah he was teamed up with Mcfarlane, Larsen, Keown, Frank, Sharp, Medina, Deadato Jr. and Kubert....those need a collection!
Near Mint Condition definitely some inexplicable gaps in the top tier 80s Marvel output: Peter David Hulk, Roger Stern Avengers, Claremont New Mutants and JRJR period Uncanny.
Thor please
Gili Danielito I added it to the list!
I'm subscribing bro.
Thank you so much, hope you enjoy the rest of the content.
Great video!
Thank you for watching and the kind words.
Have to get those Peter David hulk epics, I also like his Aquaman run, which DC is now releasing 1-4, vol.1 came out at the the end of last year. Sweet vid, your best vid, same has your haul vids. How about green arrow, also Omar when do we get another collection vid
I think I'm due for a collection video in April...I've pushed it off and pushed it off. It's time to just do it!
I was actually some of your older collection vids, u sure miss out quite a lot
I see you had the Incredible Hulk omnibus volume 1. I’m wondering when they will do a omnibus volume 2! Like issues 103-151. And a volume 3, like issues 152-205, and so forth. Why is his silver age and Bronze Age, so far behind. Need to treat it like the amazing spider man omnibus series! What’s up here? You have any insights on this??
Ed Norton’s hulk looks the closest to the original hulk art, his face especially 💚
He was a solid hulk.
nice video
Thank you
Out of the Hulk books in this video I will buy Planet:Hulk and World war: Hulk
Get that Peter David Hulk too. :)
Great video! Always enjoy these ones! Any chance of a top 20 manga one similar to the non superhero vids you did?
Yes, brother. People have asked and I plan on working on it this month into next month....my problem sometimes is I'm so damn long winded....I hate to torture anyone to hear me for more than 30 minutes. :)
@@NearMintCondition Haha nah it's all good man! Your breakdowns are insightful. Looking forward to checking out more ✌
Thank you, sir. Seriously .
You’re a Gem, Omar. How do you decide what you’re going to read? It often feels overwhelming.
Usually I choose a few titles I know I want to reread and then just go with the flow. :) That's pretty much it.
I love the Hulk!! One of my favorite Marvel characters to read. I have all the Epics and have read the first 3 and now waiting on 4.
It’s going to take forever, isn’t it, to get all the beginning connected to the last chunk of 4 Epics? 😑
I’ll probably be ready to check into a nursing home by the time it’s completely collected. ☹️
Corrected: It will probably be collected when I’m ready to check into a nursing home
We can't think like that Kathy!! We got to try to get one of us in their collected editions department...just to make those books happen. No Nursing home thinking yet. :)
Just caught this video and have recently started collecting epics due your recent epic vids!! If I planned on getting PeterDavid Omni's vol 19 thru 22 would be double dipping correct? I'm new to this line so kinda confusing what's double dipping. On your future Omni/Epic release videos could you mention if epic exist/double dipping etc.. Thanks so man appreciate what you do for us!!
WELCOME Abloard. :) Those Epics don't double dip into the upcoming omnibus. What does double dip is the first four Visionaries in there.
How many omnibus would we need to take us from Peter David hulk vol 1 which we just have to dogs of war hardcover 😊👍👍👍👍
It would take at least four to finish his run and then we need an OHC with Byrne's reboot.
I thought I saw the Byrne visionaries Fantastic Four collected in omnibus, maybe they could do that for the Peter David Hulk.
I announced the Peter David Hulk omnibus on this channel a month ago. So it's coming. :)
There is no Bryne Visionary Vol 2 because he only wrote about six issues after swapping with Mantlo.
He came back to the series with chapter one. Surprised they didn’t go the visionaries route
Please do deadpool
I will be happy to add that to the list. Thank you!
Wait Omar I'm confused so incredible hulk from #7-101 roughly is titled 'Tales to astonish'?
Correct, so volume 2 is just Hulk or Incredible Hulk. The renaming and renumbering can make it so confusing.
@@NearMintCondition Thank you. It's ridiculous the way they're being released as well with volume numbers all over the place.
RED SONJA OMNIBUS!
One day, brother. But we get our first Gail Simone collection in OHC!!
I would love to see a Hulk Omnibus by Sal Buscema
Perhaps one day. I want a Mantlo Hulk.
buy Incredible Hulk Visionaries Peter David tpb 1-8, then the extra uncollected issues till 400, then omnibus 3 by him n ya got it all so far...
So many new reading orders to do but once we have all PAD omnibu should update this one Omar.
How many PAD Hulk omnibus should there be? 4?
I think I will. I’m thinking 4 should do it. Five if they push jt
I know I'm super late to this but I would love something like this with the X-Men or Wolverine or Iron Man. Because we kind of muddling through at the collections in Marvel Masterworks until I get to where those won't help me. And this may be Blasphemous to a comic book guy, but I really don't enjoy the old ass comics. Everything is too overexplained like I'm an idiot and I don't know what's going on I feel like I'm watching anime it explains so much
Never super late. I did do X-men last year. In six parts. If you check out our playlist and see reading orders.
sweet I love these vids keep it up man love bro dude you check mitis he is an amziang dubstep artist and you should check out keen nation
scoundrel gaming super heroes are my life thank you and I plan on checking it out!
How insane or impossible would it be to make a DC Rebirth TPB reading order list/video?
I know its technically hard to pinpoint times when things take place, but more or less based on release times. Like, so you know what all to read before monster men or Metal, or things like that.
I know I like to read every TPB in "order". I found someone who made a Rebirth reading order list by issue, and I have done my best turning that into a TPB reading order spreadsheet (which I would be more than happy to share with you and hear your thoughts on it).
Dylan Brown not terribly bad, but I always recommend reading individual series by themselves. But start with the one shot.
@@NearMintCondition I've been trying to do that, but there is just so many events, and series that spin out of another, or sometimes spins out of two. I almost find it easier to read them in release order, but that may just be me
When i started reading comics what i found confusing was knowing what to read before big events. What do you read before civil war or annihiltation? Should you read Geoff Johns green lantern after or before infinite crisis. I think required reading before big events would be an interesting topic, not just for beginners, especially if you can keep it simple. I grew up reading french comics but started reading American comics seriously right before the new 52. I remember finding it super confusing.
I wish your videos were available back then. Of course i would have been contaminated by your irrational hate of Bendis but that's a different story.
Joe Chip hahahahaha that one always comes back to bite me. To each their own, my brother. I like Rob Liefeld :) sooo we all have our Achilles heel. But you seriously brought up something I can work on. The DC events.. how to prep you. I did that for Maddie and Amanda for our Infinity Crisis read.... no reason I couldn’t do it for a video.
Can someone tell me a updated version?
I wish they would finish the epics on certain characters. I quit buying them because I have a feeling they will never complete them.
Which format? Because the Epics will. It will just take some time.
@@NearMintCondition guess I'm not patient. Seems like its taking forever. Plus I wish they would do epics of ghost rider.
I get it. But I've also been waiting for Wolvie omnibus volume 2 for 10 years now. :)
Can I now the fiesta page in order for each??
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hey Omar I have to say my Hulk Epic Collection vol.2 is excellent..its vol.3 the Leader Lives that has major issues.Its a Quad Graphics book and probably the worst...well no Avengers West Coast vol.1 is the worst quality wise
Yeah... the quality seemed to have changed wen it went to that particular volume. Future releases give me hope.
Can you please share the reading order for hulk in omnibus format? I want to start getting into his story, thanks!!
On our patreon? I have to write it all down so it will take me a while.
I am thinking about purchasing the physical copies but don’t know where to start other than the original vol 1.
Why Epic Collection over Omnibus?
JTwoH because I knew they wouldn’t continue a second or third Omnibus and I really love the Epics. Now if they do Peter David’s or the rest of Greg Pak’s run... all over it!
Gotcha!
What's the best bags/boards for volumes like these? 200-400+ pages.?
I'm not sure my friend. I keep these on the shelves.
No worries! Sick collection!!
No John Byrne Vol:2 because he only did those issues.
The John Byrne visionaries I was hoping they would collect his second run on the book that kicked off Volume 2 with Garney. Which I’ll talk about next time. So now I’ll be waiting for that Epic.
Onslaught really did break everything.
YES!!!
Any chance you have done a video like this for Wolverine?
Not yet, but I do plan on it in 2020.
Cook deal man. Can't wait!
A Moon Knight one would be great
If I still had them, I would. I sold off my MK sets last year.
@@NearMintCondition *gasps* blasphemy!!!
@@DarkAngelAniki Well, my rationale was: Surely we'll get some great collections in omni and Epic format by NOW. :)
@@NearMintCondition well there are epics now and I'd LOVE an omni cause he deserves it. Just don't see it happening sadly ;_;
Same here....but we can dream right?
Omar, are you paying $40 for the Epic book? Homie, I always pay between $18-$21 and you can't complain for that price.
No my dood, I was mainly talking about the retail price. I get them from IST. Unless they go out of print like the recent ones I did a video on.
Near Mint Condition yeah...IST is insane, I haven't missed a single week of getting the extra 2% off and I started shopping their summer of 2013. My first book was Amazing Spiderman Vol 2 omnibus. Btw... love your videos.
Thank you so much for the kind words. :) I think my first order I looked at my records was 2003. Man, that was a long time ago. :)
Glad you called yourself an idiot. You know how I hate being rude and wouldn't want to call you that myself, but if it moo's it must be a cow. LOL Thx Omar, love me some Hulk action. Have a great day.
Comic Guy have a good one, dood! :)
Do any of these include 181?
Not yet, but that can be found along with 180 in several collections including the new printing of Wolverine Omnibus volume 1.
Love you videos Omar! Please do a reading orde for HellBoy and his universe 🐲😈
I can do that. I mainly get the Library Editions and Hardcovers, but I can for sure work on a way to make everyone aware of the reading order..
@@NearMintCondition cool! Because the universe is sooooo diverse with abe, bprd, slegdehammer 44, lobster johnson, etc. Would be helpful! Thanks! (From the Netherlands :-)
Much love from America back at you in the Netherlands. I will definitely do that sometime in the future. :)

Omnis are better than epics
Heretic !! Sold some of your Hulk?!! :) Thanks for the video. edit 25:35... Not digging the art at all. Everything before that was great
I know i know.... but I did get them back in Epic format.
