This was the series that got me from the MCU and into comics. Absolutely loved it and, sure, it was complex but even a newbie liked me could follow it, even if I didn’t pick up on everything. Needless to say I am buying this!
@@jpowers55 I don't like digital comics. None of the comic reading apps understand how to properly display a comic. I also like holding a book in my hand.
The spine issue is such an obvious oversight it's just pure laziness and shows how little marvel actually cares about their product anymore. I'd be absolutely embarrassed to release it in that manner.
I definetly enjoy the reviews where you go deep into the story. I don't care about spoilers because I know I will not remember them when I eventually get to read the story 😅
Been waiting to read my F4 by hickman omni’s so I can read the whole saga all together and I can’t wait, finally we have Vol 1 now we just need Vol 2 not to be delayed
Thank you for the suggested reading list for this story. Secret Warriors is one of my favorite comic book stories and it solidified Nick Fury as my favorite Marvel character. And I hope you get as detailed as you want to with the stories you're presenting.
Very disappointing about the spine art. Especially after how long this has been delayed. Waiting so long just for them to goof up one of the coolest aspects of the original printing design. Guess I'll just make custom dust jackets for them.
Usually it’s the dust jacket, table of contents, lack of cover art, or lack of an I that ruins it for the average buyer. You’d think both Marvel and DC would realize all of this by now.
@@NearMintCondition I can't confirm for Vol 2 of course (Do you have the DM for this one?) But an ebay seller posted pics of both Volumes 1 and the Reg does have the blue spine. I don't think it'll change anything to the (A) problem, and, honestly, having a blue and black spine side to side is kinda fun
I will also say, it's ironic the new volume's A's don't match up, given the new fantastic four omni's, the images are at different heights too, so the icons/logos/volume numbers aren't aligned either. It's a bit less egregious than the A, but seems it's still keeping to a pattern somehow...even if the pattern is the lack of flowing consistency between the volume spines. 😅
The DM cover did look cool but so glad that I went with the standard especially after seeing the spine differences, would've been so mad at having vol 1 not match my vol 2 lol
I guess it's a good thing I have so much other stuff to read since I still have to wait on FF Vol 1, Avengers Vol 2, and Secret Warriors so I can read these all in order
My copy arrived today… At last after all the delays.. I’m so so happy. The fat Infinity gn was one of the first Marvel stories I ever read and it was smashing, and I have since desperately been wanting this omni.
They need to reprint the Shield Hardcovers into one omnibus cause it looks like both are long out of print and over MSRP now on the aftermarket. Hopefully we'll get an omnibus of Hickmans Ultimate Avengers too.
Maaaaaan Omar you got me super hyped for this Omnibus. I picked it up today at Austin Books and Comics. I hope you do a review to The Immortal Iron Fist and The SpiderVerse! Thank you so much for this amazing video and helping me pick the best comics out there. Thank you so much!!!
...they messed up on the 'A' when you line them up. Now i sure dont regret buying these in an ebay lot back in December for $200 plus a Secret Wars book.
I remember wanting to get into this run so bad when it was coming out around 2015 leading into Secret Wars. So happy I can collect it in one run. looking forward to reading all the Hickman Marvel stuff in order one day. Secret Wars 2015 OHC, how when???
Yes I think you should do a story spoilers. This would help when a volume comes out but you may not remember what batman stories or iron man stories were in this omnibus before we buy it.
Waiting for this one to arrive in the post this week. I read it all as it came out and loved the depth to it all and the "science" Avengers style take on it all.
Omar, my brother. I would love to watch some reviews of the Hickman FF, review large runs of DD and huge event books like Infinite Crisis and Infinity Gauntlet.
This along with vol. 2 are the best omnibuses I own. What an amazing story. Unfortunately Secret Wars isn’t includdd in the two omnis but still, Peak Marvel.
I managed to get both volumes of this run a year and a half ago and I read them in two days like a man possessed. I’m so excited for people that will get to read this for the first time.
I really hope Hickman's Ultimates gets a Complete Collection at some point cause I remember reading it back when it was coming out (not paying attention to his main Avengers or New Avengers series lol) and I liked it a lot so seeing all that get compiled into a single book to fit it with the other Complete Collections of his work would be amazing.
Could the spines be different with these new printing example old stnd print to new stmnd print may stay the same while the new DM has the ugly bad connecting spines?
I originally got these in Hachette hardcover collected editions but I think I'm going to get these anyway just for the slightly bigger size for the epic artwork. This is the last great run of a Marvel comics series, it's a keeper.
This run came out during an extended period of time when I wasn't reading comics. I'm on the fence. The art looks fantastic but it seems like there's a lot of people standing around talking and not a lot action and movement. My only exposure to Hickman is his time on X-Men. I liked House of X/Powers of X, but I felt like the X books lost their way after that great start. How does this compare to Hickman's era of X-Men? I'm also not keen on the lack of table of contents, no page numbers, covers in the back, etc. Can anyone here sell me on this run? 🙂
Man if only I didn't sell my secret wars and fantastic four omnis. But with what marvel decides to reprint and how long inbetween if it's a tied together story arc how can you blame people for selling their marvel whales. That spine is disgusting and I hope they fix it before they get em sent out.
Pretentious is accurate. I still can't believe some people think that Hickvengers is a great jumping on point for new readers. I got lost and refused to read the Illuminati title.
I have all the Complete Collections, inclusing Avengers World CC, waiting for me to read them after I finish Fantastic Four by Jonathan Hickman CC Vol 4
10:00 do you know who that reminds me of when Hickman does that jumping around time it reminds me a lot of Christopher Nolan, and his way of his movie’s
Wow. The misaligned "A" is very disappointing, especially since that is what you'll see everyday on your shelf. I definitely prefer the covers throughout the book rather than all collected at the end, and I'm not sure why they'd ever make Omnis without page numbers or a table of contents. Either way, this will be added to the collection. Thanks for the overview, Omar!
Just for clarification since I couldn’t find the spot in this past weekend’s Saturday stream where you mentioned it: is it the standard or DM reprints whose A symbol spine pattern is still intact (as in correctly matching like the first printings of Vol. 1-2) across both volumes? Couldn’t remember which you said and haven’t yet tracked down anyone else with both printings.
I just got this, and mine has the blue text on the spine like the old printing, but the quote on the cover is on top instead of in the middle, like in the new printing, and the inside of the book does say it's the new printing. Did the dust jacket design get changes before release?
How important is the Ultimates/Thor/S.H.I.E.L.D. stuff? I ask because I want to jump into Hickman, but all I have is FF atm... I will pick up Secret Warriors, but waiting for those others to get omni's would be a heckuva wait.. I know they exist digitally, but I do like reading on paper more than on screen. 😅
Ive just started reading comics and i definitly want this i just hope o can afford it because ive been trying to collect a few omnis and its starting to get overwhelming trying to get these before they go out of print
I‘ld really like to buy this Omnibus, but when you say the five things I should read before Avengers, it kind of gets really expensive. Is it worth to spend all the money on Hickmans entire run or is there something I could leave out?
So I just got mine from a pre-order, and it definitely is the original print as the cover, not the new cover. How are others receiving there printed copy?
@@akhilz Avengers/New Avengers was my first Hickman, and it was completely fine to read as a stand alone, afterwards I went back and read the rest, and it's all good. But Fantastic Four I feel is the only thing that truly adds to the Avengers reading experience. The other stuff feels more like fun nods to his previous work. So don't stress about it.
@@jeremy6189 thanks a lot Jeremy. I got the FF a few weeks ago. Will probably start reading it so that I am good by the time both of the volumes of this come out
Really appreciate the 'what the read before' list. Love the way you're organizing these overviews!
Agreed.. though sometimes it makes me realize how far behind i am on my reading 🤣
They should do a Secret War Omni to follow this run.
It’d be one hell of a bigass Omnibus with all those tie ins
they are now! coming in December 2024!
Finally getting it but it includes a ton of Avengers Hickman Vol. 2. Wish we'd get a deluxe/OHC of Secret Wars
Omar, I would love an in-depth Hickvengers video. Heck, do the Hickman Universe.
Thank you!
My MOST wanted Omni ever since I started reading 5 years ago! Hell yes
I had the mini hardcovers...this is crazy good to look through
Me too, i cannot wait till its boom in Spain, quiero que llegue ya
Darn. I already bought the complete collection editions. But I REALLY hope that we get an Avengers reading order!
Bro, with those omni spines, Im glad I bought the complete collections.
Im sure their will be lots of deluxe editions on ebay now
The oversized art is what I love about omnis the most.
That spine would drive me crazy. Might have to pass on these. Maybe I’ll find some cheap complete collections now that these are out.
This was the series that got me from the MCU and into comics. Absolutely loved it and, sure, it was complex but even a newbie liked me could follow it, even if I didn’t pick up on everything. Needless to say I am buying this!
I'd love a "Overall HIckman SHIELD through Secret Wars" video and realllly dig in
Can't wait. Heading over tomorrow to my LCS to grab a copy. Someone really dropped the ball on those spines. 🤨
Im def keeping my original prints due to that new spine misprint
I hope this stays in print for awhile. I would love to pick it up, but the wallet won't be able to accommodate it.
ever thought of going digital?

Looks awesome! But not having cover pages in between story(a must), table of contents, or pages numbers is a deal breaker for me. Great vid!
How did they mess up lining up the A? Really hope they fix it by the time volume 2 comes out.
Calling it now, they wont😭😭😭
Omar the new printing Regular covers seem to still have the blue spines.
Only the DM Variants seem to have a black spine
Ah thank you for that. I didn’t get the files last week to compare.
@@NearMintCondition I can't confirm for Vol 2 of course (Do you have the DM for this one?)

Why do u say standard is better? Is the spine issue only with the DM variants?
Need to know the answer to this. I thought it was a reprint issue.
Congratulations you got 80.1k subscribers
Me to my wife: Omar said I had to have this one…
This era of avengers was so cool and epic on scale nothing has met this in quality for me in avengers runs…yet cracking open busiek avengers soon!
I guess it's a good thing I have so much other stuff to read since I still have to wait on FF Vol 1, Avengers Vol 2, and Secret Warriors so I can read these all in order
This run is what got me into Marvel
heck yea! Got this one preordered 🤙🏼
Mine arrives on the 9th i’m super excited 😍
The best Avengers story EVER and my most wanted Omni! Can't wait to grab this
I can care less about the freaking spines. As long as the binding is great, the paper quality is topnotch and the content inside.
So hyped! Been wanting to read this for so long!
Hey Omar, please do a retroview of Infinity & Companion by Jonathan Hickman. This year is its 10th anniversary!
Fantastic run. Hickman is a genius!
My copy arrived today… At last after all the delays.. I’m so so happy. The fat Infinity gn was one of the first Marvel stories I ever read and it was smashing, and I have since desperately been wanting this omni.
Does it have that overpowering immak smell?😅😅
@@JennySparkz mmmm, so so fresh 🤤
🤣🤣Still waiting for mine to arrive aaarggh.. the anticipation is dire. This was indeed a seminal run😄😄
So unbelievably excited
They need to reprint the Shield Hardcovers into one omnibus cause it looks like both are long out of print and over MSRP now on the aftermarket. Hopefully we'll get an omnibus of Hickmans Ultimate Avengers too.
That A not matching is honestly unacceptable. For a prestige format, Marvel has really gotten lazy with these books over the past year.
I hope the paper is fine with this, I heard the previous reprints of hickmans FF wasn’t that good.
The paper is fine on my first prints
Maaaaaan Omar you got me super hyped for this Omnibus. I picked it up today at Austin Books and Comics.
I hope you do a review to The Immortal Iron Fist and The SpiderVerse! Thank you so much for this amazing video and helping me pick the best comics out there. Thank you so much!!!
Spiderverse comes out Monday and iron fist I think next week. Thank you.
...they messed up on the 'A' when you line them up. Now i sure dont regret buying these in an ebay lot back in December for $200 plus a Secret Wars book.
Great overview bro ! This is definitely written in a world building perspective. Can’t wait to pick this up !
Alright I’m first to view and post comments. Best channel on UA-cam. Keep it up Omar !
I remember wanting to get into this run so bad when it was coming out around 2015 leading into Secret Wars. So happy I can collect it in one run. looking forward to reading all the Hickman Marvel stuff in order one day. Secret Wars 2015 OHC, how when???
Nice so they messed up the spines on both Hickman's Fantastic Four AND Avengers reprints. Thanks for saving me money
Yes I think you should do a story spoilers. This would help when a volume comes out but you may not remember what batman stories or iron man stories were in this omnibus before we buy it.

We need two fat secret war omnibus with all the miniseries'
This along with vol. 2 are the best omnibuses I own. What an amazing story. Unfortunately Secret Wars isn’t includdd in the two omnis but still, Peak Marvel.
Can’t wait for this. Been sitting on a lonely volume 2 for ages. Going to be great to get part 1. Thanks for the preview
It's finally here!!! :O, man this has been a long time coming.
Nice! I've got the complete collections.
Beautiful! One question: what is the best start for a movie fan of the dark knight with Heath Ledger to buy in comics?
Missed ultimate Hawkeye
Good catch!
I managed to get both volumes of this run a year and a half ago and I read them in two days like a man possessed. I’m so excited for people that will get to read this for the first time.
Great cover
I need to read both Avengers and New Avengers by Jonathan Hickman.
I assume they're going to follow up these two Avengers volumes with a new Secret Wars Omnibus??? Will it all fit in one book???
I'm so glad I already have the previous printings of these volumes, because I think my OCD would finally break me with the misaligned "A" logo. 😂
Just placed my order for this one. I can't wait to read this for the first time.
Wow, much prefer the old printing covers which thankfully i have both of them when they came out years ago.
Marvel Unlimited cut me off the 3rd quarter of the first volume so I’m definitely getting this to finish the story! Can’t wait to order this one!
So happy I have the original printings after seeing the spine. Do you think the standard edition covers will have the same alignment?
I really hope Hickman's Ultimates gets a Complete Collection at some point cause I remember reading it back when it was coming out (not paying attention to his main Avengers or New Avengers series lol) and I liked it a lot so seeing all that get compiled into a single book to fit it with the other Complete Collections of his work would be amazing.

I saw Gleason say there will be two. Fingers crossed.
@@NearMintCondition I saw that as well. Good times... now we just need to get some post Crisis Superman/Batman ... maybe a lil Kyle Rayner.
