Hellboy and The Goon are the reason I fell in love with comics.
Year?
Hellboy for me
Great list... Loved the new video format of you flipping through the pages. Gives better insight on the art. Thank you!
Top 10 list idea: Which books smell the best.
I totally get it... and would be down lol.
I loved the smell of new Bone issues from cartoon books
All of them do :)
My favourite dark horse comics:
1. Berserk
2. Black Hammer
3. Blacksad
4. The Goon
5. Sin city
6. Hellboy
7. 300
Love me some Hellboy, Baltimore, Witchfinder, Dark Horse Star Wars, Harrow County, Sin City, Goon, Predator, Aliens, Black Hammer, Dark horse Conan, Smoke/Ashes... Some others I'll probably think of later. Dark horse's divergence into having more Manga offerings has probably boosted their sales. I love the Beserk Stuff; Hellsing coming out later this year! Glad you're shining a spotlight on publishers outside of the big 2. Nice video Omar!
Im buying all the berserks and buying all 3 hellsings when they are out.
Baltimore !!! Hell yeah
Very well done video with the insert of the interiors. Excited for the manga list as well
Not even going to make a list because it would all just be Star Wars lol. Great video Omar, especially liking the new picture-in-picture format you're trying out!
Another interesting list! I'm definitely going to check out a few of these titles. I'm in the process from switching from Superheros to horror, supernatural & crime thrillers. Thanks for another cool top 10 and keep up the great work Omar!
Thankyou so much.
You have such an amazing talent at selling these books. You make me get excited about every book.
Oh thank you! Seriously!
Man..just love these top ten type of vids..!! You done one a while back and you recommended a book called "Maus"..so I promptly bought it..and loved it..now it looks like I'll be doing something similar with these books..cheers..!!!
Loving these videos! Finding so many new titles I wanna check out 🙂 You da man 👊🏽
Glad you like them!
Started picking up Dark Horse books back in the day when it was Frank Miller’s Sin City, John Byrne’s Next Men, and this new upstart Mike Mignola with this book called Hellboy. Those are still the best as far as I’m concerned, just now catching up on BPRD, which has been phenomenal. You’ve got me curious to check out Goon and Black Hammer too!
Had to sell my Goon library set awhile back when we needed $, but I love that series. Off topic; where’s that Batman comp reading order?!? Great vid btw!
I love when people ask marvel or DC and i say darkhorse.
Hahahaha. Great Answer!
Love your channel. Its just phenomenal 👌
I'd love to see your top 10 Vertigo titles. Great video, as always!
My collected editions is lacking on the Dark Horse side. I only have the obvious Berserk, Hellboy and BPRD. Love the video because it introduces me to other possible great runs I may enjoy.
Thanks for watching!
Perfect run down Omar! Adding some history I’m an Aliens and Predator freak and have all the comics and trades dating from 1996 on up. These titles always navigated me thru very dark rough spots surviving in SoCal.
I really hope that Marvel reprints them in an amazing omnibus format.
great list! and now we can have a look at the pages like you promised! list of best alternative graphic novels? charles burns, daniel clowes and such
Omar you should check out Cullen bunn bone parish and regression.
And I'm not sure but you can correct me if I'm wrong.
sixth gun as well unless you already did a review on that series. I can't remember on top of my head
hi Mr. Uncany this my favorit blok from D.H. , all Mike mignola , the mask , buff the vampire slayer , Conan( Kurt B) , lady killier , harrow country . l think thats it .
Please do a top 10 vertigo titles list in collected editions. I always find your suggestions extremely helpful.
Great video Omar, I’d also love to see your top 20 European comics.
Thanks for reminding me about Hellboy, i used to read it when the first few stories were coming out. The library editions are gorgeous!
It's so good!
Just ordered all 4 Harrow County’s library editions. 80’s and 90’s Marvel is my jam, but dis sounds interesting. Thanks for da recommendation.
I just ordered all 4 as well plus black hammer library edition. Nice!
Michael Bourke Nice man! Yeah, I was tempted with Black Hammer as well. Might have to pull da trigger 👍
Very nice
1.Paul Chadwick's Concrete
2. Sin City
3.Hell Boy
4.The American
5. The Mask
6. Ghost
7.Flaming Carrot Comics
8. Give Me Liberty
9.Grendel
10.Nexus
I wish Concrete got collected in some nice OHCs I sold off my comics years ago and would love to own them again. Need to read Nexus too. I never got around to reading that series.
Thank you for amazing review, I looking forward to your next video
Thanks for watching!
Great vid as always. I learn so much. Just went to watch old reader new reader thor but its removed ? Shame sounded good. Excelsior near mint :-) stay safe
Since this is going to be a weekly segment for the foreseeable future. How about doing genre specific top 10 ie top 10 sci phi, fantasy, horror, super hero etc. and not be confined to a single publisher. Might be a lot harder to do though.
Anyways thanks. Love these vids and stay safe
I just have the Umbrella Academy Library editions and some manga from Dark Horse... Great video!
How’s academy, good read?
@@richguev Yeah, it's nice.
Good picks. I definitely would have The Massive in my top 10, as well as Kurt Busiek's Conan run.
Really enjoy the way this was filmed and edited
Thank you.
I surprisingly almost have the same exact list for Dark Horse except Tales from the Crypt. Avatar the Last Airbender is what I have in place of that for the current moment as I have never read any comics of Tales From the Crypt. I did however, use to watch the show and was scared as a kid lol Nice list!
Super excited you put some Jeff Lemire in there. I feel like other than Essex County, he gets overlooked too often.
YES! He is great.
Top 20 European Comics please!
I'd love to see Tintin, Gaston Lagaffe, Modesty Blaise, Valhalla etc. get some love.
Top 10 DC/Marvel series/runs
You could also do a Fantagraphics top... but they have so many, many great comics that making a list would be really hard!!! Their classic stuff reprints only, are enough for a top10 :)
The art work on black hammer is beautiful, I’m not really one for superhero comics witch might sound blasphemous but I loveeee horror comics an the art is so beautiful I’m going to have to emerge myself into this one thanks for the list I would know half of my favorite if it wasn’t for the clarity well covered an consistent videos you post
i like the new video format awesome video!
Awesome, thank you!
Great stuff! Haven't read a bunch of those yet but surely they'd make my list if I had.
1. Henchgirl by Kristen Gudsnuk
It's so good, a reprint of the paperback is due this year I think. Everyone should read this.
2. Legend of Korra Library Edition
The Last Airbender LEs are great but I'm still anoyed the art doesn't take the full page. I know people resisted the Korra aninated series but trust this is the better comic. Art is just as breathtaking as always for Avatar, but the scripting and the way the plot moves has certainly improved.
3. Buffy Tales Library Edition
I don't own any of the Buffy seasons since so many were already OOP but this one you're ok with just the show. It's a great anthology book highlighting some awesome talent.
4. Conan the Barbarian by Kurt Busiek
Kind of a cheat because I dont own this and will as a Marbel Ommibus but before that announcement I rrad about half digitally and it's fantastic.
5. Hellboy
I owned a few of the paperback omnibuses and got rid of them to upgrade, which I still haven't... but I really loved this damn series and hopefully I can finish it soon.
The actual cheat: Harrow County! I love Cullen Bunn, for years his Marvel stuff captivated me and then late last year started reading his indie stuff and some of it is even better! Can't wait to get the LEs of Harrow County.
My Top 3 Favourite Dark Horse Comics would have to be
3. B.P.R.D
2. 300
1. Hellboy
Do your favourite of each collected editions.
Favourite TPB, epic, standard HC, OHC, omni, absolute.
Don't have a lot of Dark Horse. Baltimore's awesome and I really need to get more Mignola stuff. Also, Fear Agent and Harrow County look like they need to go on my shopping list about...yesterday.
My favorite DH books (if Berserk doesn't count) by far are the three "Colossal Conan" books. (Busiek/Nord might just be my favorite take on the character ever.)
One of the most appealing things about this library editions is how crazy affordable they are. I got most of the comics Omar lists and they went for an average of $20 to $35 dollars. I would like to know waht does Omar think of the Baltimore Omnibus from Mike Mignola and Ben Stenbeck.
Great channel mate.
Suggestion: best volumes/omnis per series. For example hellboy omni 2, bprd omni 2, and brpd hell on earth omni 3 will tell you everything you need to know about each series with minimal confusion and maximum feels
Thank you for the suggestion.
Brother do top 10 comic cross overs that never happened. Great as always
I am SOOOOO excited that this Fear Agent Edition is coming back.
Too bad Tales Of The Jedi didn't make your list. I know the rights went back to Marvel. But Dark Horse did the best, original stories with Tales and Dark Lords Of The Sith👍✌️...otherwise great Haul!
Next one: top idw Comics! Please, Omar!
Hey Omar, I just had a small question I was wondering if you or anybody had an answer to: I missed getting the Daredevil omnibus vol 1 bendis reprint and it’s currently out of stock everywhere in the uk right now, I was wondering if the book has just temporarily gone out of stock or if this reprint has already gone out of print?
I have Dark Empire trilogy as 3 separate trades but I do have the DH hardcover of The Thrawn Trilogy :)
I went with omnibus TPBs for everything BPRD-related because (1) they match the Hellboy omnibuses, and (2) Plague of Frogs HCs are a pain in the ass to find.
black sad looks really interesting, you've tempted me omar
Its really good.
Definitely most this list is similar to mine to Dark Horse.
Except for maybe like three spots because those three particular ones I have not read fear agent I have not read Tales from the Crypt and I have not read I think man I forgot its name with the rabbit.
I'm still trying to fill in those last three spots for me because I still haven't found something to fill those spots.
My Favorite Dark Horse Comics
Hellboy
The Goon
B.P.R.D
Black Hammer
Sin City
Next Men
Usagi Yojimbo
Harrow Country
Fear Agent
Conan The Barbarian
Edit:I Didn't include Blacksad as it included in a another list i made
Nice one, a great choice of novels here. Fear agent looks good and many more that you mentioned. Video liked
Thank you so much for the kind words.
@@NearMintCondition No thank you. You've introduced to me a few I want. I remember in the late 80's, possibly early 90's I saw that Ninja Rabbit show up in my fav Kid's show at the time, Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles. There's not one book here that I don't think I wouldn't buy. Thanks mate 👍
You are more than welcome:)
Idea: The most beautiful books you own. Presentation, quality, feel, etc.
I ordered harrow county omnibus volume 1 yesterday and im so hyped
Such a great book.
Picked up Blacksad, based on this video and its amazing! Thanks a lot for the recommendation. Do you know if there are plans to release all 5 stories in OHC or Library edition? :)
Not right now, but there is a softcover edition.
That tells you how talented Mike mignola's like I would say the same thing for me for bprd being in my top 10.
Black hammer is like deconstruction without being a deConstruction on superheroes.
It's a really great series
Where a lot of the heroes in the series are basically inspired by other characters Dc, marvel, etc. Event ideas that inspired then to be still feel relatable and unique.
This has to be one of Jeff lemire's best series. And it's still a growing universe. Even the spinner out of this universe exquisitely entertaining
I have both Fear Agent Libraries and reading those made me a Remender fan. Outside of Dark Horse stuff Black Science is very similar. And Uncanny X-Force is great.
top 10 epic collections and collected editions!
Hi Omar, would it be possible to do a Hellboy and BRPD reading order ?
Thanks for sharing your list.
My top three are: Hellboy L E, Hellboy & BPRD 194x & 195x miniseries & the 3 volumes of Blacksad.
Great List.
Always worth the watch.
My man!
My favourites:
BPRD (specifically plague of frogs series)
Hellboy
Harrow County
Fear Agent
Black Hammer
Umbrella Academy

You are a fan of art. I love it!
Near Mint Condition thank you, sir.. tell you the truth Dark Horse titles mostly never dissapointed me.. besides the big two, Dark Horse and Image Comics always give me alternative titles that always fresh.
The Creepy/Eerie/Vampirella archives are incredible. Vampirella is published by Dynamite, however.
I have done some videos on those archives.
Thank you for this very inspiring video :) can you please consider doing a recommendation for Marvel newbies readers like me? a good story ark + art
Can you post the soft cover version and the idw version of the usagi yojimbo saga you recommend starting at please?
I’m gonna have to go real big: my two favorite Dark Horse books are Big Damn Sin City and Colossal Conan.
Hey Omar with the lockdown in England I’ve spent my free time moving my omnibus around by getting new shelves to store them I was wondering do you
put anything under your omnibus like a wedge of paper to stop sagging, hope you are All doing good
I don't, but I know people put styrofoam under theirs.
Near Mint Condition okay thanks for the reply
I didn't know Blacksad got released in the us by Dark Horse. That is awesome. Blacksad is defo one of my favorite 'strips' as we call them in Belgium. Beautiful ... in every single way.
They are gorgeous releases.
You should do a top 10 best long runs
Cool list! I see no Star Wars, I guess because Marvel now publishes these. Dark Empire was really great! Another suggestion is NEXUS archives, one of the best space comics of it's time.
Top 10 indie comics (if you haven't done one)
Top 10 Valiant comics (if you collect of course)
Top 10 European comics
Thanks for your awesome videos
Top 10 European comics
What do you think of vampire hunter d novels?? Mangas?? I think dark horse published a few of those
Fear agent remind me on Mike Danger don't know why. Primortals was cool also
Agreed Sin City is the best Frank Miller book.
My man!
Nice picks. What are your thoughts on the comic series Powers by Bendis.. Art by Omening. He also did Victories. You liked Mice Templar.
Those are okay. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the Bendis talking heads. Never have been. But I liked scarlet.
@@NearMintCondition he does a lot of talking. Very wordy. He overr does it and it annoys people
Are the Hellboy Library Editions evergreen or are they slowly going out of print? I’m currently thinking about upgrading my collection but I can’t find volume 4 and 5 anywhere.
They are and will be back in print.
Gotta give special shout out to some Star Wars books that Dark Horse published. The Dark Empire, Thrawn & Crimson Empire Trilogies all got printed in hard back similar to BPRD hardbacks in size. You can buy these still from Marvel now but only in Epic Collections and these Dark Horse collections are (in my opinion) the best format. Though I do appreciate Marvel doing them as Epic collections as that keeps things affordable for new readers to get into them or old readers to pick up runs they missed!
That's awesome.
Your top ten Boom studios! next
As someone that is new to collecting, it would be helpful to know when there are additional book, in the series or if the it is an on going series
You mean mention if the series is ongoing or wrapped up? I usually do that. Damn, did I forget to do that on this video?
i bought the two library editions of fear agent and really wanted to like it but i just didint for some reason
Ahh thanks algorithm! Year old video but new for me!
Ok, so now I have ordered Fear Agent and Harrow County!
I hope you enjoy them.
Wow now I gotta check out blacksad
It is excellent.
NEED HELP!! I have narrowed my next series to jump into down to two and need help deciding! Hellboy library edition Vol1 or Black Hammer Library edition Vol1???
Go with Hellboy!
@@NearMintCondition Thank you!
seeing the books stacked like that actually reminded me of something that's been bugging me for a bit lately. My shelves aren't tall enough to store oversizes vertically and I'm low on space rn so for a while now I've been storing my omnibuses horizontally stacked on top of each other. Nothing crazy, 3-4 omnies per stack. So recently I saw all those posts of how this will completely destroy and warp the binding and ruin the books at the bottom because of the weight etc but nobody could give actual examples of it actually happening. So can anyone tell me is that REALLY that bad or it's semi anecdotal claims or from people stacking like tens of books that way? I checked and my books seem fine for now but still gets me a bit paranoid.
Its not bad.
Hey Omar, I am currently reading Transformers IDW phase 1 and for some reason 3 of the volumes so far have been destroyed. The binding got completely destroyed even though I stretched out the binding and took care of them. This hasn’t happened with my TMNT idw. Is there anything I can do about this cause it sucks. Thanks!
Endsinboro oh man. Not at that point. That is horrible and I’ve never heard of this happening on three volumes.
Near Mint Condition aright np thanks for responding
Yeah I agree we're not going to talk about Sin City 2
Black Hammer is one of the best comics I've ever read.
IT sure is.
My favourite Frank miller run is Daredevil omnibus vol 1,2nd is big damn sin city.And Dark horse has the best collected edition,my big damn sin city still holds up but my invisibles Omnibus fell out
