I want a dawn of x omnibus. Can’t wait for this hardcover
I hope one day we get it too.
@@NearMintCondition Will this be collected as part of that? What is your opinion?
@@Akhilz13 Hickman will probably map it out with a correct reading order in the omni. That's my guess.
This is on pre-order 😁 Now we need the Dawn of X omnis. Omar, how about getting Hickman on for an interview 🙏🙏
Oh, I'd love to have him on.
I really don't get why Marvel cheaped out with the glued binding again. They really should have learned from the subpar binding on the House of X/Powers of X OHC. I don't mind the flat spine but the glued binding is honestly unacceptable for the price. It's a shame because it looks like a well constructed book besides the binding.
Been waiting for this. I'm very excite!! Thank you 😃
You are so welcome!
Nice! Looking forward on this.
Hope you enjoy it!
I recently got HOX/POX and loved it, got DoX 1 and 2 on the way. Just saw this is ridiculously cheap on Amazon. May oreorder it and save it for when I'm caught up on DoX.
Another first - well done Omar - look at a book that is soon to be joining my collection at home!
Deal! And thank you!
Yay! I've been looking for your overview.
I'm so glad!
Thank you for the vid Omar! Cant wait for mine to come
Thank you for watching.
Thanks for the video, I've pre-ordered this and now I'm just waiting for all the OHCs to be announced.
Hope you enjoy it!
I can’t remember any other books of Benjamin Percy’s that I’ve read before but his X-books have been really good. I’m so impressed. For me I’ve been loving his X-Force and Wolverine, Gerry Duggan’s work with Marauders, and Zeb Wells’s Hellions. Not to mention Hickman’s X-Men. And another thing that’s great is I’m almost finished the original New Mutants omnibus vol. 1, and so I’m being introduced to a lot of these characters in these older stories just now and now I get to see where they’ve ended up 30 years later. When I read Dawn of X’s issue of Nova Roma, not an hour later I co-incidentally read the original New Mutants arc of Nova Roma. It’s like Marvel planned this with their release schedule of the Chris Claremont/New Mutants omnibus and the Dawn of X/X of Swords. That cohesion has greatly amplified my enjoyment of these books. It’s almost like I’m reading historic reference material catching up with the history. Hickman is really utilizing the full history of X-Men and I’m reaping the payoff to wonderful effect. I’m a fully converted acolyte. X-Men forever.
Looks great. I have the DM cover coming from DCBS. I have to say I love being able to comfortably buy my books ahead of time as opposed to the 3pm shuffle at IST...
That 3pm is getting rough.
Finally got my copy this morning.
Hi Omar, thanks to you I ordered the Uncanny X-Men omnibus volumes 1,2,3,4 and Claremont and Lee omnis 1 and 2 all in one go... and I don’t even like X-Men! (Just kidding, I love em! Keep up the good work)
YES!! Love them too.
So dang excited to get my hand on this bad boy
almost there.
great vid omar.. i have all the singles so wont be picking this up.. but youre rite they should have added excailbur 12 to this hardcover. it was a vital plot point
Thank you! I have it preordered, but apparently I need to read dawn of x before. So I’ll have to sit in this until the omnis drop.
I would at least read X-men and Excalibur for sure.
Apparently there is an X-Men Omni coming out in december which fills in the gap between the two previous ohcs which is great
Art looks gorgeous
It is.
I preordered this and I’m looking forward to reading it. I’m a bit disappointed it’s a glued binding, but hopefully it’s comfortable to read. Some of those big DC books actually make my hands sore to hold open.
This isn't horrible, but I understand.
Hi Omar, I think you are the best. And thx for all videos till now 🙏🏻 just one question is there any meaning missing if we read "x of swords" before "down of x". I got hox HC btw. Thank you 🙏🏻
Can't wait to get a DM copy!!
Oh yeah!
Standard cover for me :D Great video like always :) Thank's :)
Thank you too!
nice, preordered at a crazy low price on amazon. hope it ships!
I hope so too!
Where did you find it cheap?
@@BladePocok I preordered it on Amazon a year ago for 45 bucks
@@grither same, but amazon deleted my pre order in december
I can't wait for it to hit my mailbox
Gently land in your mailbox.
Great overview order, Omar! Do you think that the 5th volume of Hickman’s Avengers complete collection will be solicited soon?
Perhaps in the next couple of months.
Thanks for the video! I am unfortunately not picking these up. I want to focus on the Chris Claremeont X-Men run and I am reading Hickman's FF and Avengers run
Good choice!
Thanks for the great overview as always, Omar!
I have pre-ordered this already and was wondering how to prep for it. I have read HoX/PoX, the Excalibur omni (so I’m familiar with Otherworld, Saturnyne, etc), and the first two arcs of X-Men. Do you think I should read the new Excalibur series for the complete picture, or would that be enough?
I think that would be enough. The Excalibur arcs set up the new Externals and their role and Roma and Saturnyne's new titles.
Of course I have this Pre-Ordered, super excited to see if they are gonna give us OHC DoX.
We are getting Excalibur, Marauders and I have one more announcement as far as OHCs.
@@NearMintCondition I’ve Seen your announcement for Excalibur and Marauders. I’ll be waiting for your announcement!!
Awesome review
Thanks!
great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
I didn't know you were from Versailles! Me and my wife just moved to Richmond! Howdy, neighbor!
Hey! That’s awesome. Yep been here for 15 years now. damn.... that flew by.
I’ve never really had an issue Mitch the quality of the books from Marvel. Be they flat spine, gutter curved, whatever. As long as it is functional, I’m fine.
Good point.
I can’t wait for this!! Hoping they do the OHC for all the X tittles like Marauders and Excalibur!
They were already solicited, weren't they?
@@Knolleworks so far just Marauders and Excalibur, but I’d dig the rest getting them too
I have one more I haven't announced...yet.
@@NearMintCondition you know how to build my anticipation man😅
Thicker than a gosh darn Snicker! Great review as always, my man.
Oh yeah!
Love the review and I’m really excited to get this - I preordered it!! 🙏🏽
The x of swords handbook isn’t collected in here, is it?
It isn't. Was hoping it was going to be added.
@@NearMintCondition shoot, that’s a bummer. Thanks for letting me know, I’m going to search for a copy of the single.
I hope my pre order is honoured when I ordered it at the cheaper price because it had less solicited. We Australians need a win on price.
If its Amazon, they should.
Is this a good jumping on point for the current x men run? Or would it be best to just start at the beginning
Hi Omar, love your vids. Quick question : I have read HoX and PoX but haven't gotten around to reading the x-men or excalibur.or marauders etc. Does it make sense to get this? Will it make sense as I read this without background?
Just returned my copy. Will wait for OHCs or better Omnis.
The number one book I'm dying to own this year. The delays are killing me, I understand why, but still it's taking so long
Not too long now.
And yet delayed one again now till early April
A lot of mixed reviews on this piece but from what I know about Hickman is to reserve judgement till he plays his whole hand.
That's the way I usually am with his writing. This is more like the halfway point.
I have to own this.
Im getting one for my birthday
I preordered on dcbs. That was like 6 months back or something.
I'm slowly transitioning to DCBS from IST. Just too much uncertainty with IST between shipping times, stock supply, slow server issues (on their end) and near lack of communication. Yes, I do realize it's the same company, but with DCBS not only do I get 50 % off, but I can preorder and get peace of mind.
You are sure to get it.
Do you foresee marvel releasing a Dawn of X omnibus & if the do do you think I should still purchase this hard cover of X of swords?
Once i pick up the rest of Claremont stuff i will get into Hickmans X-Men. Anything else to recommend reading first? Really looking forward to his run it ends well i will definitely collect everything in the dawn of x trades👍
I would've watched this sooner but never got a notification.
Hey there, I think reading Hox Pox to this you will be good.
So does the arrako apocalypse retcon mean the rise of apocalypse story in Egypt never took place? Was he still born in ancient Egypt?
Hey Omar, will you be reviewing the new Spawn Compendium? Need to see if that binding is any good 😅
I will. Promise.
Ten of swords is also a tarot card.
Everyone Knows That...
It is about betrayal and loss.
Oh yeah... its explained in the book why tarot cards are used too.
@@X-Warrior.1119 I didn't read it and I didn't know at first cause I don't know anything about Tarot.
I've had this on pre-order since June last year.
It's disappointing that it's glued binding and square spine. But I can live with it.
Trying to determine which of the OHC's (once announced) I'll get.
I know:
Marauders
X-Men
Hellions
New Mutants
I'm unsure on Excalibur. I've not heard much buzz on it. Is it crucial for XofS?
X-men and Excalibur at the two biggest lead ins to this. Hellions is my jam!
Will there be an omnibus with all of Hickmans X-Men run + events? Wondering wether I should buy the House of X + X of Swords Hardcovers plus the X-Men Omnibus by Jonathan Hickman or wait for an Omnibus that will have everything.
Right now we only know of the Hickman omnibus containing his X-men books. So maybe one day.
Will X of Swords get a reprint? I’m just now trying to get into these and realized they’re OOP
I'm very tempted to get this but I think I'll hold out for an omnibus. I much prefer collecting books that way and I think there's a good chance this will be collected in an omnibus too.
I have been asked for a couple of years about House and Powers being in an omnibus... its hard to say as Infinity was in Hickvengers omnibus 1, but Secret Wars was not in Hickvengers omnibus 2.
Hi Omar, how's the glue binding holding up after a year? I'm planning on getting this book as I recently got into HOX/POX
Still good brother!
Hello Omar, how many issues of Dawn of X there are before X of Swords?
16 volumes of the trades.
Hi Omar,
How many more volumes of dawn of x are we getting until the run is over?
Thanks in advance
In HC just one per series.
Finally! The review we've all been waiting for from the guy that actually reads these books!
Thanks brother. It was fun to talk about.
F.Y.I about other OHCs - Venom by Danny Cates Volume 2 and X-Men Disassembled Volume 1 were delivered (here in the UK) yesterday (25th February). I wasn't expecting Disassembled based on its estimated release date - since the online store wasn't a direct market comic shop. I don't know how this compares to elsewhere.
Very nice that you got them already!
What is a direct market variant and does it have more collectible value?
It’s printed for comic stores in smaller runs.
I heard mixed things about ten of swords especially in the middle. What did you think Omar?
I loved the beginning... LOVED the set up. Mixed in the middle, did Not like the execution of some battles and was indifferent with the ending. That sums up my feelings. Great art, though.
Hello Omar, I know it hasn't been announced, but if we do get a Dawn of X Omni one day, in your opinion, do you think HoX/PoX & X of Swords would be part of the omni or will they be left out as individual OHCs and the omni only consist of the dawn of x series?
I don’t think any of the events have ever been collected in an X-men chronological omnibus like Xtinction Agenda or Xcutioners song.
@@NearMintCondition oh, got it! Thanks Omar!!
Is the dm variant gonna have a solid color spine?
We showed the DJs on our social media late last year.
Man! I hope Dawn of X releases a hardcover or an omnibus for the in-between HoxPox and X of Swords.
I've seen solicits of OHC for a few series like Excalibur
Booooo no omnibus. First Ohc please
Three OHCs coming this year. Marauders, Excalibur and one I haven't announced yet.
@@NearMintCondition Whats the third??
You should get the inside scoop from David Gabriel if we're getting hardcovers of Dawn of X stuff soon! 😉😬🤓 LOL
There's already pre-orders for some of the hardcovers at Amazon.
@@TezQuetz what are they listed as? Don’t seem them.
@@imaposer3 Yeah, they're listed as OHC for individual titles, so far we have Marauders and .... forget the second one. I haven't decided whether or not to preorder, I'd rather have books with like the first arcs of multiple stories, etc, kinda like Age of Apocalypse omni
I announced Marauders and Excalibur OHCs two months ago. I get to announce another one perhaps in early March. :)
Hey Omar amazing video, i have a question. I am thinking strongly of investing in hickman x-men, so should I start collecting those Dawn of X books? or wait for the future maybe we gonna get some collected editions or omnis?
I mean this is Hickman and there is a strong chance he will get omnis but I am not sure if it'll be x-men only or the reading order Dawn of X :D
and man full support from me without your channel I would never get into comics and collecting :))) I hope I can show u one day my small humble collection haha :D
So I'll give you the Omar timeline. We have Dawn of X trades, we have upcoming OHCs. In six months there are no omni announcements... maybe time to get those OHCS. I want to see your collection one day.
Will amazon have it on march 3rd?
A few weeks later in the book market.
I personally like your cover better then the direct market version. Is there a way to get the one you have?
That's the standard edition cover. That will be the one you'll most likely find out and about.
This one will be available everywhere.
12:50 Monet in a dutch angle. I'm absolutely dorking out here.
M is my type of girl.
So I can read this right after reading house of X? or is there something in between?
X-men and Excalibur 1-12 is between those two
Will be getting this for sure , not the biggest fan of the spine design it could of been a little more exiting . How is the paper quality? Books seems a bit thin considering the page count
Never mined just got to the part were u anwere the page quality question
Its thicker than the HOX POX paper.
Just got an email 25 minutes ago from Amazon, delaying my shipment, sad.
I heard.
Sorry for the silly question but I’m still not sure where this fits into the overall run... is this additional to the Dawn of X trades, reprints of stuff in Dawn of X, or kinda both? If I wanted to read the whole hickman x in HC, would this come directly after hox/pox?
No such thing. After the Dawn of X trade volume 16. This will only double dip with X-men 12.
@@NearMintCondition ah ok thanks
I've had this pre-ordered for a while now, and I'll echo others in saying that the glued binding is really disappointing, especially given the size of the book. Much smaller oversized hardcovers have gotten proper sewn bindings, and given this is a $100 book shipping nearly three months after it was originally solicited to release, I would have expected it to be done properly as well. I really hope this isn't about to become a trend in Marvel hardcovers going forward, or I may have to cut down on what I buy. I have specifically avoided some DC omnibuses that I otherwise would have picked up because there were reports of their glued bindings not holding up properly. When a book costs as much as these do, I expect quality that lasts.
I understand where you are coming from.
I've read HOXPOX but not DOX. Do I need to read DOX before reading this or is it readable on its own?
Really just X-men and Excalibur should be good.
Are there any dawn of x ohc's coming out?? Are all the dawn of x titles collected and completed in their respective trades??
Only Excalibur and Marauders Vol. 1s solicited. No idea if/when they'll print OHCs collecting everything as per the Dawn of X trades.
I have one more I haven't announced quite yet.
Hi Omar, I need your advice. I have found the single issues of this collection at the same price as this hardcover edition. What should I buy, the hardcover or the single issues?
Hardcover - way easier to pick up and read! Also easier to preserve IMO
HC
You get oversized art! Looks so good
HC for that oversized art as Jack and Trajce mentioned. :)
I know this is out of the blue Omar. I have an extra copy of the Curse Words Deluxe edition by Charles Soule and Ryan Browne that is still sealed. The only thing is it has some damage on two corners. I got a replacement from Ryan and he told me to keep the damaged one. Is there a way to send you the damaged one? Maybe you could review it and keep it or pay it forward. Thanks again and great overview.
I would love that. Thank you! We have a PO Box in the description of the video or it’s:

@@NearMintCondition Hey Omar the book should be arriving Monday. Hope you enjoy brother.
The current X-Men books look so cool but I’m super intimidated by how many different runs there are that are interconnected and how to even start collecting it all. I’m also not super well versed on the X-Men in general so I’m not sure if I’d understand what’s going
I would try HOX POX first and see if you enjoy that as it wipes the slate clean.
Apologies if this is asked and answered, but why is this coming out before the Dawn of X trades are caught up to this? Shouldn't they publish all those, and then have this come out? I don't want to read it before I've read all the previous issues.
So this will come after volume 16 of the Dawn of X trades.
Great overview! I'll be skipping this one! I have to keep room for Uncanny X-Men Vol 4, Claremont/Lee Vol 2, and Inferno.
Oh yeah, the classics.
Besides HoX/PoX, is this the only other Hickman X-Men hardcover?
Correct.
I very confused on how Hickman's Xmen is being collected - and why this X of Swords event is being released before the ongoing series in deluxe HCs. I want to read ONLY Hickman's work. Why havent they released any Deluxe HCs of Hickman's run yet? Will Hickman's Xmen book and his Giant Size Xmen be included in the Deluxe HCs? Will the eventual Hickman deluxe HCs overlap with this particular X of Swords collection? Im just going to wait until we see the plan for the ongoing series.
I have some answers.. We know we are getting a Excalibur, Marauders and one more OHC ( I haven't announced yet) before end of year. I can't imagine there being any overlapping.
Anyone else notice how the black pages in newer Marvel books are absolute finger print magnets? 😳
I've legit just started washing my hands before I read my comics for this exact reason...
I've seen people wear gloves. Those glossy pages have a cost. :) I don't mind honestly, but yeah, rubber gloves.
Matte pages feel better and don't leave prints behind..wish they did few more of those
Omar. Do you know if there will be REIGN OF X TPBs in the same way that the DAWN OF X TPBs were?
I'm sure they will based on the sales of Dawn of.
this book is actually going to come out at last?!
At last!
Can I just read House/Powers of X before reading this or do I need to read all of Dawn of X? If not all, how much of it?
I would suggest reading at least X-men and Excalibur 1-12
Any news about the other xbooks on hardcovers? I only heard about Excalibur and the Marauders coming on August, but what about the rest? 🥺
X-Men getting an omnibus in december
So I would need to own more than just the house/powers of X to understand this book?
I would say X-men and Excalibur as those set up the events.
Is it just me or does that spine SCREAMS for some Dawn of X Omnibus ?!?!?
Not just you.
X-cellent!
Oh yeah!
I still don't understand after which dawn of x tpb this fits
volume 16.
It got delayed once again on Amazon... now we are looking at July :(
Really? I hope they didn’t underprint/oversell.
@@NearMintCondition hope so...
Not really an X-pert so this will be a pass for me. Despite that, the book looks great! I always thought the whole binding/flat issues was really dependent on each book, and to me this one isn’t that bad. Though of course I’m sure we all love to know what the binding is, so thanks for this! :) Algorithm gang!
My man!
I really hope they redo these Krakoa Omnis and OHCs with sewen binding, it deserves the luxury and decadence
and oh my god, these variants are wasting a lot of the art with big white borders that don't need them!
Still seems weird for this to come out before the Dawn of X collections were finished. I won't be reading this until I get to read Dawn of X Vol. 13 - 16 first.
That's a good idea to wait to read.
so I can read this right after finishing House/Powers of X without starting dawn of X?
Nah you should read Dawn of X
At the very least read X-men and Excalibur.
If you collected the entire Dawn of X trade paperbacks (but have not read it all yet), does this X of Swords book have new material?
Yes dawn of x vol 16 will end just before this happens then after this it will be reign of x vol 1 when that comes out
@@tom3151 The X of Swords Hardcover isn't even sold on Amazon Prime (in Canada). That is strange that they would release House of X, Dawn of X, and than make it difficult to get X of Swords. Kindle does have X of Swords but the paperback version is not available until early 2022. Why is there such a long wait for the paperback? Basically people are forced to buy it on Kindle. Oh yeah, the Hardcover also is not available in bookstores even for someone who is willing to pay $125.
@@HPCthulhu2011 sometime Amazon does that I live in the UK and we couldn't get x-men by Chris Claremont omnibus from there I think it's because it was removed then was supposed to be put back up with the extra issues in.
Amazon UK has the paperbacks in 2 volumes coming out early June this year then then a bigger paperback with both volumes in 1 out in September
@@tom3151 The latest Chris Claremont Omnibus looks like X-Men: Inferno March 30, 2021. Well the kindle version of X of Swords is only $40 but if the paperback version would come out in about two months from now instead of ten months from now than I would wait for that. If I could go to the store and get X of Swords for $125 I'm not sure I might do it but the Hardcover was on Amazon Prime like it should be than it would only be about $77 and I would buy it for sure. How can someone start collecting Reign of X in trade before being able to get X of Swords? That is really stupid.
@@HPCthulhu2011 I might be wrong but I think another Amazon might not have this is I think Omar said during one of his livestream that it was currently out of print because shops like Amazon didn't know what this was because it was just called X of swords and not x-men x of swords so they ordered a lower amount than they would have normally. I think he said it would be restocked around may
Amazon pushed it back (again) to april 6th
I heard.
So there's no sense to pick it up if I only read HoX/PoX?
I mean, i think you might be able to but won’t understand why any of the characters are how they are (Apocalypse, Kate Pryde etc)
I'd at least read some X-men and Excalibur.
Algorithm gang!
