The New Frontier is a whale because the creator of it Darwyn Cooke died a few years ago. There was also a rumor that he paid DC to keep the books he worked on to be in print.
Thanks for educating us some more on DC, dude! One small piece of advice: I would have splitted this to at least 2 different vids. One for Absolutes, one for omnis, and maybe a different one for the book sizes. That way they are at a more manageable length, and you get to roll out more vids. Keep it coming!
Thanks again for another great vid, they really opened my eyes. Until now I had mainly read what most people consider to be some of the best Batman and Daredevil books, but I just ordered 4 of the books you talk about and I am greatly looking forward to reading them. I more or less rediscovered Superman for the first time since my childhood early this year through the Smallville TV series which I watched for the first time and loved a lot, and I read Superman: Secret Identity this summer, which was a great read.
Just chiming into to give you some props - always enjoyable to watch this stuff as a collector - and man I need to get some absolutes- I’ve been a floppy collector and still am- but just placed ist order 3- 3’this month and it’s Videos Like This that got me splashing cash- peace out and God Bless Steve. I trust u ain’t no heathen...u sir are a polished stone-
Well another epic video dont know D.C. too well but this was definitely a great informative reveiw as well especially the absoulte books so this was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC get it absolute lol but continue to shine bro and get that 5k coming
I wish the omnibus had the Mail Room part at the end of every comic. Those were always full of helpful and interesting information. It also gives you a glimpse of the people behind the comics.
I love the Justice League . The Grant Morrison run was epic but i loved so much The New 52 Run to . !!!!! . Have a great Day & thank You so much 4 a nother great video . !!!!!! .
Yup Identity Crisis is my fave Crisis bro! That Deathstroke methodically, dismantling and destroying the justice league was so badass. I really wish they wrote characters fighting more like that instead of just lame hack and slash. But yeah I'm waiting for DC to make that JLA Morrison Omni. That's hands down my fave JLA version. Keep up the good work bra!
awesome show! thanks for the time spent on this stuff!!! I suggest to do a series by Master of artist such as all Alex Ross Omnibus/absolute ecc.... i never seen something similar on YT.... thanks Bro!
International rocks. That was a good run. Also, there are a couple of issues (the annuals I believe) that Willingham (the Fables writer) drew. Mid 80s DC - when they rebooted their universe after CRISIS - was great shit, and Justice League was my favorite. Another great vid. Now I have to buy Detroit and Infinite.
Don’t know where you’ve head the Darkseid War is a bad story. Everyone I know absolutely loved it. Easily the best part of the JL New 52. Epic fucking story man, damn good art by Jason Fabok, and a killer story by the man Geoff Johns. I mean it’s Darkseid vs. Anti-Monitor. What more could you want? Definitely needs to be next on your “to-read” list. Would love to see it as an Absolute one day. Also can’t wait for that Infinite Crisis omnibus reprint. And they’ve recently solicited a 10th anniversary Final Crisis omnibus with all the tie-ins, set to come out in fall of this year. Great video as always man. Keep up the good work brother
Jake Nap Johns wrote both of them fine. It’s such a sharp, condensed story, I don’t know how anyone can say that he didn’t write either of them well. Idk who’s saying he can’t write WW or New Gods. Arc was great IMO
Ryan Shea He especially can write Darkseid well. He writes Darkseid like a mindless brute. Darkseid is a manipulator, he’s a “I’ll send my own people to take care of you” rather than a “I’ll take you on myself” which is how Johns writes him. Johns betrays the original Kirby characterization of Darkseid and that’s my problem with it. Also, splitting up Mister Miracle And Barda is really dumb and out of character for both of the parties involved.
Jake Nap You’re right. That is your opinion. And that’s it. An opinion. Mine differs from yours. Of course he’s going to write Darkseid different than Kirby. He’s not Kirby... I enjoyed it a lot. You don’t have to
I thought you might forget the absolute Justice League Worlds Greatest Superheroes but you did get it edited in there. I was pleasantly surprised when I put it up against my other absolutes that it was even wider than those, which really makes Alex Ross' panels pop! The book actually retails for $75 (you mentioned $50) but I got mine for just a little over $40. This is a little thinner than your typical absolute. The thinnest absolute will probably be the Killing Joke that will be coming out soon (that one will be for $50 retail). Not sure I'll get that one though.
dope vid alot of content to cover dc have it down with the absolutes usually choose great stuff to put in the format like planetary, Sandman, preacher wish there was more of the non Super hero ones, is it a common thing for the absolutes to get spine damage just recently got a new absolute planetary #1 broke my piggy bank for it and it came with pulled spine same thing happened to Sandman #1 so downgraded to the omnibie for Sandman save myself the money and heart break keep up the good work love the vids would you ever do one focusing on specific writers or artists liek say Rick remender who has so many dope image comics out, seven to eternity, Black science, Tokyo ghost, low, deadly class and honerable mention to fear agent
I stopped reading marvel some time ago because the numbers of single issue got more confusing. Especially after all the renaming and crossovers. After watching your videos i picked up Spiderman again. Thanks for the amazing work.
The new designs of the covers Joker and Doom Patrol....Bronze Age...what do you think? I prefer the new cover BUT dont want the old ones because I like uniformity too LOL
How are you not leaving little fingerprints? Lol. Washed hands before? I bought a box of rubber gloves from Walmart myself. Gf thinks I'm nuts lol, but I hate smudges.
Is that JLA/Avengers an absolute? Or is it just in the same style as an absolute? I have all the DC/Vertigo absolutes and this one is hella expensive for a 4 issue story.
Can you please tell me where did you buy your reading stand? I need one but all i have seen before are for ipads or similar. I cant turning the pages with that type of stands.
i dont...if you req to join the Omnibus Collectors Facebook Group, you can make a post asking about custom DJs and someone will point you in the right direction
Totally agree about Darkseid War deserving as Absolute Edition. Jason Fabok's art is the best !
The New Frontier is a whale because the creator of it Darwyn Cooke died a few years ago. There was also a rumor that he paid DC to keep the books he worked on to be in print.
Thanks for educating us some more on DC, dude!

yea the comparison was impromptu. ima gonna make a whole video like that for those who might not watch this one.

thx for the video and this one was perfect with the music at the intro only. I just wanted to say I enjoyed this one and have a great day.

Ryan Shea people don’t like it because Johns doesn’t know how to write Wonder Woman or New Gods stuff and this book features both of those things.
Jake Nap

You’re right. That is your opinion. And that’s it. An opinion. Mine differs from yours. Of course he’s going to write Darkseid different than Kirby. He’s not Kirby... I enjoyed it a lot. You don’t have to
Its because he clearly isnt a reader. Hes probably read less than 1\4 of his collection
Cheers Gem. Appreciate the video, it was worth the wait 👌🏻

Just checked again. this one says $50. this one is the 1st print though.
man this playlist took me way back when gem-mint acted as if he wasn't aware of us, that forth wall break tho
Another great video, they need to make an omnibus for the JLA series maybe the could collect it over 3 or 4 omnis.

Kerrod Lomath good I idea, I’ll think of some good ones
Hey, Gem Mint! Have you read Image Comics' Kill or be Killed? I heard that it was great. Keep up the great work!
havent read that yet
Infinite Crisis book rules!
Noooo
Nice vid Gem!Love what you did in the intro 👌
This is some good shit bro. My fave is definitely is the new frontier. 🔥🔥
That intro music is HOT
gggold rush productions
Laying on the bed face down *pause* LOL!!!
Definitely stepped up your game man, you were right lol Now I just wanna spark one w you and talk comics 😂
Those absolutes are so awesome. Wish Marvel did something other than those Adamantium/Vibranium editions.
Had to watch it again. Stan Lee died today and it's a sad day for comics. Peace.
Love this one. Can you make one every omnibus video of all major DC and marvel events (like all crisis events and flashpoint)
was thinking of doing that...for marvel too
I stopped reading marvel some time ago because the numbers of single issue got more confusing. Especially after all the renaming and crossovers. After watching your videos i picked up Spiderman again. Thanks for the amazing work.
I came here just to say that I want you to do that "hey, didn't see ya there" opening a tiny bit more often if possible. Fucking classic
Another great vid those Alex Ross books are the shit man
The new designs of the covers Joker and Doom Patrol....Bronze Age...what do you think? I prefer the new cover BUT dont want the old ones because I like uniformity too LOL
they look good but it messes up the collection
I agree! Im starting from here...Im not sure why they went for a shift BUT It looks beautiful.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING 2019
Absolute Justice is sooo good.
Can you please review the ghost rider omnibus? I want it but i need advice haha
i did brotha... check my recent reads playlist
if the intro was real we'd catch you smokin some weed
Every justice league omnibus...
The Infinite Crisis omnibus is gorgeous.
How are you not leaving little fingerprints? Lol. Washed hands before? I bought a box of rubber gloves from Walmart myself. Gf thinks I'm nuts lol, but I hate smudges.
Gem hitting them books hard
Love the new intro!
Nice one Gem Mint, Cheers.
Is that JLA/Avengers an absolute? Or is it just in the same style as an absolute? I have all the DC/Vertigo absolutes and this one is hella expensive for a 4 issue story.
Absolute
Gem Mint Collectibles welp ima need to pray for a reprint 😂
It's kind of an "unofficial" absolute as there actually is no absolute in the title.
Can you please tell me where did you buy your reading stand? I need one but all i have seen before are for ipads or similar. I cant turning the pages with that type of stands.
I got it at Barnes & Nobel. It’s called a bamboo cookbook stand.
I think Darkseid Wars wasn't made as an Absolute because of all the tie-ins.
FIRE right here! Club GEM
U should do a final crisis and infinite crisis recent reads
Is the absolute justice league new 52 0-12 the comics issues or the graphic novel issues?
the individual comics, i have a review on that ready to upload
I am hoping for a Geoff Johns omnibus
Hey do you need to collect forever evil and trinity war
Where exacly can I buy one of the custume dust jackets for justice league?
in the facebook groups
Hey Gem I wanna get a good silver surfer read, any suggestions?
Probably the infinity Gauntlet prelude, tie ins, and aftermath issues. Collected in the infinity Gauntlet omnibus or box set.
The new 52 stuff is the best in my opinion I prefer absolutes rather omnibus because they're too thick you have more flexibility with the absolutes
Im a huge JL fan
oh my/// cool stuff
hi do i need any prior knowledge to read infinite crisis omnibus
Hey Gem-mint which is the best
eres un dios de los comics
Do every teen titans please gem
So that is the difference between an omnibus and an absolute.
Yup
Neat, man.
I like that
dats alot of buses
I'd put New Frontier as the best book in the group. Kingdom Come after that.
Gemanites!!!
I hate the silver age and golden age stuff it's too horrendous the bronze age maybe I'm okay with
Why they do what they do? $
