Missing The Issue: JLA Omnibus by Grant Morrison! (DC Comics)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 лип 2024
- In the 90's Grant Morrison wrote a legendary run on the Justice League of America, and it deserves it's recent Omnibus. But what about those issues by Mark Waid, Mark Millar, and J.M DeMatteis? What happened in those? Are they in the upcoming Tower Of Babel Deluxe Edition? Does it mean you should pass on this JLA book?
For the completionist in all of us, I read the missing issues, and I'm gonna' tell you exactly what happens, where you can pick them up, and if it should be a dealbreaker on this recent DC Comics release!
This is a new series I'm hoping to continue, and I hope you all enjoy it! Thinking of doing this for maybe the Superman by Peter J. Tomasi Omnibus, or the Flashpoint one.

🐶🐶 WOOF WOOF! I said this was coming, but it's the first in a new series: Missing The Issue! The completionist in us wants to make sure that we have every issue that we can, but do we actually need it? In this premiere episode, I'm looking at the recently released JLA by Grant Morrison Omnibus, and looking at what's missing, why, and where you can find them now!
.
Hopefully this helps some of you, and it's enjoyable. Not sure if there's a demand for this, but I know I'd find it useful when I was getting into comics. Let me know what you think!
.
ALSO, you knew it was gonna happen, but the MDC 3 will take place on Friday the 19th of February! My good friend Comic Bound is returning, along with TWO other guests! The announcement will be over the weekend, but let me know down below who you think it might be? 🇸🇪
.
Give this video a thumbs up if you enjoyed it, share it wherever you can, and subscribe if you wanna' make sure you're part of the Doggpound! Comment below if you picked up this Omnibus, and what you'd like to see next! The news should be up on Sunday, but until then, stay Mad, Doggs! WOOF WOOF! 🐶🐶
Thanks for this video.. I was searching everywhere for what was missing.
Great video Dogg! I don't have the omni yet but I found this super interesting and it has made me a lot more informed about what I'd be getting if I were to pick it up. Whenever you hear an omnibus is missing issues like this it can be a bit off-putting, so I think a series like this is an awesome idea to help see if it's something you actually should care about! In some cases it's probably going to even streamline things!
Really looking forward to you covering more books in the future in the same way, I think it's going to be a super useful resource for people!
WOOF WOOF! 👊
I'm the same mate, it can have 50+ issues for a great price, but if a few are missing, suddenly I feel ripped off 😂
Cheers for supporting it though mate, it means a lot, and hopefully the series will keep improving! WOOF WOOF! 🐶
Hi Marcus, I really enjoyed this. Please keep doing this series. Thanks mate 😊
Very cool idea, and definitely useful for those of us with OCD about having all the issues, even without knowing what it is those issues might contain. So awesome that you tell us what happens in those issues and where we can find them! I'd love to see this for more omnis! (Yes, Superman by Tomasi is one of them!)
I'm glad you liked it mate! I know this is a video I'd have found helpful in the past, so at least I'm not alone in that fact :) The Superman by Tomasi one should be next and sometime within the month, I'm reading for it now! Thanks for watching the video mate! WOOF WOOF! 🐶
I've been considering upgrading to the omni and deluxe books from the trades and this video was a great help. I'll be keeping my eye on further 'missing issue' episodes in the future as these can be the tipping point on the old "should I or shouldn't I upgrade" decision. Keep up the great work :D.
Just glad it was some help Dom! :) hopefully it will be helpful with future releases too! Thanks for watching the video mate! WOOF WOOF! 🐶
Great video Marcus, and I’m with you on this. I bought this omnibus, read it cover to cover, thoroughly enjoyed it and didn’t feel like I missed anything (Superman’s temporary blue appearance notwithstanding). Too many people are getting their panties in a twist on the few missing issues from this otherwise gigantic collection. Honestly, if it was a choice between including JLA Earth 2 or having an unbroken run contained regardless of writer, I am so glad they included Earth 2 since that story kicks ass. With most ongoing series from the Big Two, it’s inevitable that there will be fill-in issues, annuals, one-shots and/or crossover tie-ins that otherwise don’t have anything to do with the ongoing storylines and aren’t by the usual creative team. Anybody that is an ultra-completist will ultimately have to collect single issues or trades, since omnibuses are designed more with the creators or specific storylines in mind. We’re lucky we even get these massive collections now which were unheard of 20 years ago, so people really just need to get over themselves when complaining about little nitpicky stuff like a few missing issues.
...and yes, I will be buying Tower of Babel Deluxe Edition as well, but that’s mainly because I like Mark Waid. 😊 Woof woof!
Glad you enjoyed it mate! It is quite funny how even the missing issues gloss over the costume change haha! But yeah, it's part of the hobby, especially with some artists taking longer now and writers juggling multiple titles :)
Im with you on the Tower Of Babel book too! Thanks for watching the video mate! WOOF WOOF! 🐶
I despise when they do this in omnis i would much rather a whole chronological run than a creator centric omni. I still bought JLA anyway but I hate having to buy other ohcs to fill in the gaps. They’re lucky tower of babel is awesome or I wouldn’t bother. This is a good video series though Marcus I’m interested to see more of these 🔥🙏
I get where you're coming from Declan, I was the same with Hellblazer, but sometimes the book that's out is pretty decent, so hoping the future videos will be helpful too! Thanks for watching the video mate! WOOF WOOF! 🐶
Appreciate the video. I had already got the vol 4 tpb before the omni was announced so when I heard that it didn't have issue 35 by DeMatteis that was deal breaker for me because that really is a special issue that isn't (at least yet) collected anywhere else and went ahead and got vol 1-3 in tpb.
No worries Tyler! Like I said, maybe DC has a day of judgement omni planned for the future, which would be cool :) thanks for watching the video mate! WOOF WOOF! 🐶
Thanks for figuring this out for this.
With certain omnibuses that missing issue may be in another omnibus as part of another series' arc, as a tie-in. In some JLA or JSA graphic novels, there are issues found in the other of two.
No worries Peter! It's a series I wish existed when I got into collecting haha! There is always that too, as I carry the series on, hopefully I'll get better at investigating that kind of stuff :) thanks for watching the video mate! WOOF WOOF! 🐶
@@MaddoggComics
You're certainly off to a great start.
Good idea for a series - nice. :) I hung on to my deluxe OHC collections for this run, so am only missing 3 issues total.
Maddogg gets mad props ... I think your channel is the best for aspiring collectors ... bar none. Keep the focus! Woof woof
Thank you David! Just glad this stuck the landing, hopefully more to come in future :) feel free share any videos you enjoy, but thanks for watching mate! WOOF WOOF! 🐶
Also, like the idea of this video series. Nice work dude
Great video bro. You actually went 1 by 1 to knock out our concerns on the missing issues. WOOF WOOF
I love this run and just hope this video helped some people realise its worth picking up :) and my brain works a bit one by one haha, so I'm just glad you liked it Faraz! Thanks for watching the video mate! WOOF WOOF! 🐶
@@MaddoggComics you made me realize its worth picking up. I get corrupted by hardcore completists on youtube so idk what to do sometimes lol
I like the concept of your vids a lot. Incomplete storylines are kind of a pet peeve of mine when buying these books, and while I agree some of the guest-issues written by Waid, Millar, etc weren’t essential, they were still part of my personal nostalgia for the era and they did do more of the character-building that wasn’t seen as much in Morrison’s issues. What does bother me is leaving out Midsummers Nightmare and Paradise Lost as they kind of were narratively important, with MN bringing the team together prior to #1 and introducing the Mageddon threat, and PL closing out the Zauriel/Neron/Azmodel story arc from #6-7.
If you want complete runs stick to Epic Collections, Complete Collections or Thicc DC trades, because the trend of creator focused omnis seems to be here to stay.
I just want the best stories tbf haha, just hoping this series can clear up confusion for people :) thanks for watching the video mate! WOOF WOOF! 🐶
Great video and you was cool to see you with Omar before.
I still ended up getting because I loved the run, but I think they could’ve swapped out the excess 1,000,000 issues that weren’t really necessary and just double dips with the event Omni as well as taking up pages that couldn’t have been used for other issues.
Hopefully more to come in future too! I brought this too, so we're in the same boat! Already had the 1,000,000 omni so I agree with you on that one! WOOF WOOF! 🐶
I needed this video, thanks alot
No worries Mats! Thanks for checking it out! WOOF WOOF! 🐶
@@MaddoggComics I was kinda mad that it orphaned some of the Mark Waid issues, but as you said the Deluxe hc of Tower of Babel pretty much fills that all in. I'm still kinda wondering if the 10 issue Aztek series should've been included. I'm still pretty sure I'll pick up the omni soon.
You should do a Missing the Issue on the Batman by Paul Dini Omnibus too ;) WOOF WOOF
Excelente vídeo hermano, asi deberian de ser la layoria de los vídeos que hablan de ordenes de lectura y Reviews de omnibus. Crees que podrias hacer un vídeo de los tomos que recopila el nuevo omnibus de Green lantern corps?
Saludos desde México
Excellent video brother, this is how most of the videos that talk about reading orders and omnibus Reviews should be. Do you think you could make a video of the volumes that the new Green lantern corps omnibus collects?
Greetings from Mexico
Great video, looking forward to more. Maybe you can help determine why the "What If" Omnibus is "missing the issue" for an issue that was in a prior Omnibus? Could it be the cost to pay the estate that owns one of the characters was too high? Is that why the Master of Kung Fu Omnibus are on your least value list due to those costs drove up price per page. Ok, I'm rambling, great video again and this one made me a subscriber.
Thank you for subscribing Eric! The What If Omnibus will definitely have a video before it gets released :) Flashpoint and Superman by Tomasi will be next so that people can know before it's released, but What If is a great shout! I've heard the rights were the main issue for Shang Chi, but who knows if they'll be printed again 🤷♂️ thanks for watching the video mate! WOOF WOOF! 🐶
WOOF WOOF!
Such a interesting idea!
Very entertaining video!
Glad it wasn't as bad as I thought it might have been haha! Hopefully the series improves as it goes on! Thanks for watching the video mate! WOOF WOOF! 🐶
Maddogg Comics hope to see more soon:)
I am a Grant Morrison and no offense to Mark Waid but I prefer these types of collections. I follow creators and this is perfect for me BUT I understand how other can feel about this.
Suuuuper pissed I didn't get the mark waid and Joe kelly I absolutely love the art in those books. I just got jla omnibus today now I'm super bummed I didn't get them
Hopefully a Joe Kelly omnibus will come out eventually, I'd buy that day one! Thanks for watching the video mate! WOOF WOOF! 🐶
Talk about missing the forest because of the trees . . .
That's usually me haha! WOOF WOOF!
I wish DC wouldn't do these "by creator" omnis and just release full run's - instead I've just kept the 9 volume TPB's that collect the whole series (Its the same reason why I'm skipping the upcoming Teen Titans by Geoff Johns omni)
I like these creator focused Omnibus editions
this omnibus and tower of babel it is. i have been so on the fence on picking this up since i hunted down the majority of the trades. so hard to decide what to do. after watching whale watch, managed to get cable and xforce omni for under cover before it disappeared for who knows how long.
Glad you managed to pick it up Tim! Hope you enjoy the book, I passed on it myself, can't find X Force volume 1 haha 🤦♂️ but thanks for watching the video mate! WOOF WOOF! 🐶
@@MaddoggComics if i come across another volume 1 for cheap i can let you know. i got mine well under cover from an IG sale
The best pick is this omnibus and the Tower of Babel Deluxe Edition
I’m just gonna pick up the JLA Tower of Babel Deluxe Hardcover which fills in most the gaps. It’s like a JLA companion book. Problem solved.
Same here John! WOOF WOOF! 🐶
JLA by Grant Morrison goes to issue 41. From the Amazon description it looks like the Tower of Babel Deluxe HC is starting with issue 43, which means that issue 42 will also not be collected. 😞
Ahh, damn, I tried my best discuss the issues in this block, still finding my feet with videos tbf. I'll pay more attention next time mate. WOOF WOOF!
Hey mad dog, can you tell me what superman books were happening at this time? I want to figure out why he's blue. And also why is wonder woman randomly dead in like issue 12 lol
As someone who owns both JLA by Grant Morrison and The Tower of Babel Deluxe Edition I think I can make a qualified statement about them not including #27, #35, and #42(between the end JLA by Grant and Tower of Babel)
I could not give less of a metric shit.
Not an omnibus reader, but this has me triggered
Hopefully not the video was the cause of triggering haha! Thanks for watching! WOOF WOOF! 🐶
@@MaddoggComics the video was awesome. It would just annoy me that not every issue is there, but if they’re written by someone else I understand I guess lol
I get why this stuff can annoy folks but i actually like creator centric Omnis. Mostly cos i just wanna read my favourite creators work on these characters, rather than collecting an entire unbroken run, regardless of the team.
I'm kinda the same, although I wanted a complete Hellblazer so I guess I'm a case by case basis :) thanks for watching the video mate! WOOF WOOF! 🐶
