DC in the 2nd half of the 90s was great and underrated era. From 97 to 2010 is my favorite era of DC comics
I'm a marvel-man but I love the silly yet serious spin Grant Morrison brings to DC. The perfect mix of absurdity and epic mythology.
100%
I think that there is Jack Kirby the World Builder, Morrison the Story Teller, and Johns the Architect of Character.
Morrison's JLA was spectacular and clever as hell! Might actually be my favorite Morrison work. His take on the JLA and some of their classic villains was nothing short of breathtaking. He even made dorks like The Shaggy Man formidable. His run was unforgettable, perfect mix of the cosmic and the entertainingly mundane.
His run is freaking awesome.
How dare you make me aware of this omnibus being released.. now I have to be irresponsible and buy it for myself. But seriously I’m so glad I found this channel now that I’ve started collecting omnis!
i was actually thinking if they'd release this JLA omnibus and lo and behold... this video was released HAHAHA
Hahaha... that's all I do is DARE! :)
I feel this pain.
I only have 2 omnibus but I might need to make this my third
Thank you for not putting in spoilers. You really went out of your way so people like me can enjoy this omnibus from start to finish - you a real one
Your level of knowledge on all these books is second to none. Thanks for everything you do for us omni bros 👌
I seriously appreciate that!
90s comic are the best. I totally got more and more respect for them over the time
Artwork looks fantastic!! I cant wait to read it! I added this one to collection, looks awesome, going to be first time reading it, very excited!
Thanks Omar. I just made this impulse buy because of you. Nothing like a stress-related purchase to distract from the pain for a little while. Your videos are an escape from reality for me. My mom and dad are both dying. So, at least when I watch your videos I get a break from crying.
Its what I do...sigh if only DC would just email me back. :)
Speaking as one of those Lucky Canadians, gotta say I’ve enjoyed this omni so far! 😊 Great stories in this collection.
Best JLA run ever in my humble opinion
So good.
My jaw actually dropped when I saw this videos thumbnail - Such a good run!
100% it is.
This is my introduction to the Justice League in the comics, and I love the fact that Grant portrays these characters as being so overpowered. I’m not gonna say any spoilers for the people who wanna read it, but what Aquaman did to Züm.....I legitimately freaked out like a giddy child when I read that. It’s been a while since I’ve read anything that has gotten me that hyped.
I realized somehow over the years I downsized my dc collection pretty much only own Johns lantern, new teen Titans and a few Batman books....and then I ended up maximizing my marvel and manga collection. After watching the Snyder cut it inspired me to want to read dc more than digitally. Came across this video and now I grabbed this omnibus and the brad meltzer deluxe. Thanks for always helping me decide with your amazing videos!
I’ve been waiting for this one for what seems like forever.
It's finally here.
Nice overview Omar. JLA back in the late 90s and early 2000's is my favorite runs of the characters and I do plan to get this Omnibus at some point great stories and amazing artwork !!!
Classic that's all that era was.
It's on the way. Grant Morrison is always worth it even if I wind up not liking the stories cause he always presents interesting ideas. Can't wait to see what he offers up this time.
This is one of my favorite Justice League runs.
Great as always Omar.... And I personally love 90s comics. I will take them as a whole over 2000s/2010s. They were a blast to read and collect.
So many people dismiss 90s comics I swear.
JLA: Origin deluxe, Batman: Road to No Man's Land omnibus, and now, this. They should have kept period-appropriate logos on the covers.
I agree with that.
My favorite JL series of all time I LOVE this era so excellent and absolutely deserving of all the hype. The cover is meh and I agree on the 1 million inclusion vs other stuff. It would have been nice to just go with JLA Omibus Vol 1, 2 etc that way we get it all and no orphan issues given how much good material there is. The sucker that I am I'm still getting it LOL.
I think two omnis would have been great.
@@NearMintCondition yup
I will be picking this up along with the Mark Waid OHC next year. I really enjoyed the first few arcs of his run and seeing that the binding on a book this big isn't as bad as I thought it would be, I'm really excited.
Hope you enjoy it as its such a great run.
Whenever Uncanny Omar puts out a new release video, it just confirms that it won't be long until my copy is on the way!!
JLA Omnibus by Grant Morrison, & Batman Road To No Man's Land are two from my DC Omni wishlist!
Thank you so much. :)
Under dust jacket cover and spine look much better than the DJ.
Sucks that the cover under the dust jacket is from Mark Waid's run and has nothing to do with Morrsion...
I agree. Why is the Background on the Dj grey?!!? It's so ugly
I agree
I really love this run. Read it twice already. Morrison kicked ass with his huge blockbuster-type stories, depicting the JLA members as modern gods.
But I think I might prefer Joe Kelly's run. I thought his take was phenomenal. Maybe the fact his plots were more character driven.
And the Martian Manhunter story... Damn !
I Hope a Joe Kelly's omnibus will happen someday (and Mahnke's art deserve the oversize)
Great vid as usual Omar, thank you !
It's an amazing run.
Thank you Omar, I may have to pick this up because these stories mean a lot to me as the original 19 trades of JLA were the first comic's I ever read.
Oh yeah, these are up your alley.
Got mine "pre ordered" can't wait to read this run!
It's coming. :)
@@NearMintCondition Super excited to read Grant's run for the FIRST time. 👏🏾
I was two minds about getting this mainly because of orphaned issues, but after watching your earlier video about Mark Waid's "Tower of Babel" OHC?
Oh yes!
Get me my copy of Grant's JLA please!
You won't regret it.
Thanks Omar for all your videos!!! Love the channel!! Very awesome!! 💯💯💯👍🤩 you got our backs!! Have a great day everyone!
Thank you for watching and commenting
They massacred the cover.
Yep, wish they would have just used the art under the DJ.
I just watched The Justice League and I want to dig in more into Justice League comics. Could you do JLI overview?
Yea i also would want a JLI overview
I think I sprained a couple fingers trying to pull this out of the shipping box today and not realizing how massive a book this 😱
It's pretty dang big.
@@NearMintCondition think it's the biggest of those came in today ; other two BIG - Batman Road To & JLI Vol 2; keep up your great reviews and news; my Go To Channel
I got myself this omnibus and of course the Tower of Babel Deluxe Edition as well. I had forgotten it was by Mark Waid, so I was surprised not to find it in here. IMHO both books are totally worth buying though.
And I agree, a Mark Waid JLA omnibus would be great to have.
As much as i'm stoked to have another Morrison Omnibus in my hands, i hate that there's so many DC 1 Millions issues collected in here, as you said. But at least, we have it
I'm trying to stay positive, but yeah, we should have had at least some of those Secret Files.
So far I’ve decided to pass on this but I watched your vid because I was curious what it contained. Like you I read this in the 90s and it was really my gateway series into comics, and this wasn’t a scenario where I wanted DC to skip over material not written by the main writer. The Midsummers Nightmare and Paradise Lost minis were really kind of important parts of the narrative, and the guest issues by Waid, Millar, Priest, etc provided some of the best character-focused stuff of that run. I’m kind of hoping DC will just do another TPB run that’s more comprehensive.
I'll never get why people harp on about 90's comics. I get the problems, it lead to the industry crashing and all that but most of my favorite books came out then or really found themselves. The Sandman, Morrison's JLA, Daredevil the Man Without Fear, Hellboy and countless Vertigo books. Whenever I hear people rag on the 90's I just assume they heard it sucks somewhere and don't bother to form their own opinion.
I don't get it either. They would be missing on so much.
Wouldn't have to make two Omniboo with Azteck if they didn't put all the One Million stuff in.
Now the question is whether to double dip on the rest of the JLA fat trades for Babel
That is THE question for sure. :)
Now I just really need a Mark Waid JLA omni including Midsummer’s Nightmare, JLA Year One, and his 20 or so issue run after Morrison’s (and some during).
Looks like they are going the OHC route for Waid.
I wish thry had made two Omnis and included the Waid stuff and Aztec mini instead of the 1Mil issues. Still this looks great.
Same here, but I guess it was easier for them to put the four OHCs together.
Thanks for the overview. I was on the fence about this omni and then this video just tipped me over to a purchase. Love the interior artwork and anyway I've been stocking up on Morrison.
Glad I could help and I hope you enjoy it.
Nice video as always my friend. So does this Omni cover the exact contents of the 4 dlx OHCs? ( Excluding one million storyline). Maybe in the future, a comparison segment to other releases would be awesome ( similar to color comparisons you did for Swamp Thing)
Yes it does and I don't think those four deluxes have the WildCATS one shot.
So back when Morrison made the JLA 12 members, there was a wizard magazine article showing Grant Morrison cheat sheet with the Greek Pantheon. Is that in here? I remember Huntress was Artemis, Superman was Zeus, Wonder Woman was Hera, Flash was Mercury, Aquaman was Poseiden, and Batman was Hades. I thought it was cool and would like the others.
That would be awesome if they had collected it here. I've never seen that.
Hi Omar, I’ve not read this at all. Will definitely be getting it now. Thanks Omar 😊
You are very welcome/
JLA and Doom Patrol. Grant Morrison was cooking in the 90s.
Yes sir.
This looks amazing I'm already ran out of space with my preorders coming in lol However its Grant Morrison. Gotta do what I gotta do.
You do what you gotta do.
Hey Omar! I'm living in Turkey and it's about to 5 a.m in here, but it doesn't keep me in the bed when i saw a notification of this video! There is no way I'm getting this omnibus (150 dollars equals to over 1.100 Turkish Liras), but I really like your videos man. Thanks for making this kind of great content, much love!
Thank you so much for the kind words. That is so high over there.
I am running out of space in my shelf and I will still get all these books that you showcase and some others too, because I can't let space best my passion(PS:Sorry books you have to go on the matter floor until I get a new shelf)
Fun fact: In Italy we have this omnibus from 2010 or so.
Ringraziamo la Planeta per questo 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@stelonghi sempre!
That is awesome. I love that.
IT'S FINALLY HERE!
YES!
Thanks for the video! I'm getting this and Morrison's New X-Men Omnibus this month. I tried finding a video of this last one on your channel but couldn't, do you have that one too?
I don't think I have yet.
Hey Uncanny where do I start reading this JLA omnibus? What’s the chronological order please?
Hello bro. Hope you are doing good. Thanks again for the review. If I already have the deluxe hard covers do you think I should get this or pass? Thanks as always!
Hmmm If you have the deluxes, you have everything here except the One Million stories.
@@NearMintCondition of course I bought it anyway, lol. I will make my decision when I see them aside by side, lol.
This version of the JLA were brought together in Midsummer's Nightmare mini series, written by Mark Waid. The story occurred before Grant Morrison's run.
I bought JLA year one by waid it was Ok... was Midsummer better?
Plus Fabian Nicieza, Darrick Robertson and Jeff Johnson! Yes sir.
Hey Uncanny omar! I'm just curious how do you read crossover events thru omnis? Do the crossover maps/guides also get printed on omnis? Do you pull out each omni for each chapter of the crossover? Just curious.
Your collection rocks man.
Thank you!
Usually I read them through the omnibus I'm reading. For example in this one, I'm okay reading the 1 Million with this omnibus. However, Blackest Night, I stop reading GL 2 to pull out BN omnibus. I love that story so much.
That is a fine-looking book. Should probably buy it just out of solidarity for poor little DC. This could be the last book they'll ever publish that has material from Robinson's Starman or Ostrander's Martian Manhunter...
Sigh... I hope not.
I just can’t stand the cover, personally. The look of the book from the outside is meh, but at least the stuff on the inside is... good but not perfect. Could be better but you know at least it’s actually out lol. Thanks for this, Omar! Take care & algorithm gang! :)
Also not a fan of the DJ.
I don't have the JLA One Million omnibus so honestly that included within this gigantic book entices me even more now.
I'm glad this helps you out.
FINALLY AN OMNIBUS YOU HAVE GOT TO BE F*CKING KIDDING ME
Rock of Ages was peak 90's comics.
Yes sir.
I'm here for the Omar ad libs, not the issues the edition collects, lol.
My man! :)
I have the same binding problem at the end of issue 1, as you've shown in the video. But the page seem to be pretty well glued there, so it's fine. Nothing coming off
Yep, but I did want to point that out. Odd place for a ribbon mark like that.
Great, now I need to make the choice whether I want to continue to collect the smaller soft cover JLA volumes that are easier to hold or just get the massive complete omnibus collection. These are truly life's toughest choices, I am sure...
They are the for sure the toughest choices. :)
Great video. I'm going to need to get a whole new shelf just to hold this and the Omnibus/books you recommend. The neverending battle for space. But in all seriousness, I'm excited to pick this up. I loved Morrison's Doom Patrol and run on X-men and I've heard nothing but wonderful things about his JL run. Is it true it inspired the DCAU's take on JL?
I have that problem too... so I move books or sell some. :)
My favorite Justice League era, the team has never been this good after Infinite crisis (although Geoff Johns did an amazing job as well).
Big fan of this era.
Omar did mark waid write the stuff that was drawn by Bryan hitch or was that joe Kelly? Anyways great video and keep up the awesome work. Can’t wait for road to no man’s land omnibus.
Hitch was at the Waid run, at Kelly´s was Mahnke
@@comicclub thanks
I see Couch has you covered. :)
I received this and No Man's Land lady week. Looking forward to diving in.
Love that book.
One thing that's missing that's annoying me is Aztek #10, by Morrison, which introduced Aztek in the JLA and I wish they had put the full Secret Files issue instead of just the story that was included in the issue. An some more extras would have been nice
I really think two omnis would have been perfect.
Morrison is a God of Comics!
For sure up there on the mount rushmore of creators.
It looks great... thanks for showing it to us...! I love Morrison writing and this is a must have... crossing fingers for a black friday price since I live in Colombia and have to save in mailing costs...!
I hope you find it, brother.
@@NearMintCondition just ordered it... 30% off and free shiping to Colombia... yei black friday...¡¡
@@AlejandroGonzalez-pf4uc Perfecto, hermano.
@@NearMintCondition excelente que podamos hablar en español...¡ eres mi persona favorita de UA-cam
@@AlejandroGonzalez-pf4uc Claro que, si hermano. Yo soy Peruano!
My copy is coming December 9th because my country is in quarantine, I can't wait!!!
I hope you are staying healthy and safe.
@@NearMintCondition thank you, I am
I'm so behind, I thought this was coming out in like a year. This is probably my favorite run on the team, though I never read Morrison's last stories.
WW3 was my favorite JLA story he wrote. SEconded by Rock of Ages.
It's not just you. My copy had the same issue on the binding with the first 20-30 pages or so.
Man I’m really on the fence of buying this . I already have all the material but man would it look cool next to my other Grant Morrison omnibuses. Great review was always.
I'm surprised it took this long to get here.
mine should arirve tommorow....finally can read the whole thing together
Hope you enjoy it.
Great content brother. Hell yea I'm getting it along with batman road to no mans land.
Great choices.
Great video thanks! I bought ealier this year the tpb which includes also waid 's run, it's just the vol 5 is out of print :(
Yeah it sucks when things go out print.
This era was fantastic. Only the 1970's satellite era was better. The stories were epic and great fun to read. Yup, I will be picking this up this week.
Couldn't agree more!
I have some original pages. First page of #1, first Watchtower, first angel from Heaven, Prometheus standing over Batman, death of Darkseid, all of the covers of 1M except the Superman sun one
That is freaking awesome!!!
Who drew the art under the dust jacket?
So does this book contain all the material in the dc one million omnibus? Because I was thinking about securing that Omni.
Not at all. Just about 12 issues from that omnibus.
I'd say this one and Peter David's Supergirl are my favorite runs from the infamous 90's
oh yes! Supergirl, Aquaman and Young Justice are my favorite ones from DC.
@@NearMintCondition you're right! Pete was on fire!!
Hell yes!
YES Sir.
Omar, do you know why DC omnis tend to stay in print way longer than Marvel's? Like, way longer. Some are still in print from 5 years ago.
Do they print more books, do reprintings more often, or do they just sell slower? Thanks.
I'm being 100% serious. Marvel prints more and still sells out. It has to do with faith on the product. So many people don;t have faith that DC will continue making some lines like Batman by Snyder.
@@NearMintCondition That could be part of the reason but there's gotta be more to it.
For example, Batman Golden Age Omnibus are up to Volume 8 with 9 solicited for next year, but almost all of them are still in print and available at Amazon, instocktrades, and cheapgraphicnovels. Same with Brave and the Bold omnis, Knightfall omnis, Batman by Grant Morrison omnis, etc. Although the Neal Adams one is definitely out of print. The Paul Dini one probably will be soon.
Just seems like DC's omnis are easier to get and stay in print longer.
90s comics are the best in my opinion
Omar do you think Dc will do another Jla omnibus collecting the rest of the jla issues post Morrison
They are doing Waid's run in OHC, so I hope we get a Joe Kelly run.
Glad Dc finally collected this after a decade. But I am sticking with thick trades as orphaned issues are not my thing!!!
I completely understand.
Would it be fine to buy this book and skip the upcoming DC One Million Omnibus reprint? Or do I miss much of the DC One Million event if I just go for this book?
100% you can!
@@NearMintCondition then that’s what i’ll do! Big thanks!
I just got this for 80SGD on Amazon, it's a great deal right?
Omar, where would you put this in a DC Morrison reading order? Before Seven Soldiers and his Batman run?
Definitely. Way before.
Yeah I was going to ask a similar question but in line with does Batman/Superman come after this? And is there any other essential or just great rrads before Inginite Crisis.
I hate when the publishers skip issues. I'm going to skip this omnibus (even though I really want it) because finding issues #27 and #35 will be difficult. Do I buy the individual comics? Do I buy an old TP where I already have most of the issues and just need one? Forget all the hassle, I'll just read something else that isn't this complicated. Hopefully DC and other publishers stop with this foolishness some day. It's almost like whoever makes these don't actually read/collect omnibi...
Great video as always.
I know, its annoying. I hear you.
Please bring a volume with the missing issues!
Wait... so, when the one million issues start I should stop reading this omnibus and read the dc one million omnibus...then come back to this one and pick up after the one million issues?
You can, or just focus on the important stories, all collected here.
Cowabunga minties 🤙
I am waiting to buy like 5 or 6 omnis at the moment but all are out of stock! Waiting patiently!
Oh man, out of stock.
@@NearMintCondition yeh went out of stock straight away in Australia! Though lets be positive we get reprints! Im not supporting those scalpers selling omnis for $400 on ebay lol
Most big omnibus I have got have the ribbon showing/ separating from the page after the first few segments and again towards the end of the book. I think it’s intentional.
This one seems more noticeable than other books that I have this size.
This omni is ultimate sized?
Anything I need to read prior to this omnibus?
I like how JLA is all you need to put in the title.
lol right?
Shame about those missing issues. Maybe we can champion 27 and 35 for that Babel deluxe? Some Secret Origins seem to be collected with their respective characters (#39 is in the Animal Man omni, maybe #50 will go in a future Flash omni?) but they would've been nice to make an all-inclusive Grant Morrison tome. I'm especially curious about his New Gods story "Orion and Big Barda Join the JLA"
It would be tough, but I would love for that to happen.
I'm probably going to have to pick this up. Why is everything going out of print so fast? I don't get it.
They did a vid on this. Mainly the virus, increased demand on omnis suddenly.
Things will get back to normal.
@@ashleyn1979 Thanks for the reply. So can I hold off buying this for now? I've bought Lucifer vol 2, Green Arrow Mike Grell and Infinity gauntlet already. Its really hitting my wallet.
@@NearMintCondition Thanks Omar!
@@sugarray6250 well Im not sure. Nobody knows for sure it seems. Ive been saving for just a select few omnis so i can get them soon as they are available!
As a comic lover on a budget, would buying the four JLA deluxe editions be a comparable collection to this omni? Or are those editions missing too much?
Those editions are only missing the 1 Million issues.
@@NearMintCondition Thanks for the heads up! Your channel is the best.
I was waiting to get that, from amazon and it came out straight from preorder to temp out of stock :(
I think these books with low print runs will be back in restock later.
