Personally, I like the longer overview. Hearing u talk about the stories that's in them, is what usually helps inform my decisions on my purchase. Also, it's nice to hear the lil factoids and history of the books you're going through. To each is own though. I'll be watching either way.
Agreed. I am one of those fans who doesn’t care about paper, covers, font sizes. It’s Omar’s passion for the stories that sell me on the omnis that I’m on the fence about.
I like the more extended overview for the tidbits of info you might drop like why did a writer or artist leave the book or why there was a change in the storyline.
Yeah, brother. The longer overviews are YOU! I love hearing you go on and on about these stories because, well I don't go to comic stores anymore and it feels like talking or listening to a friend. So you do you!
No Omar, this was cool but i definitely prefer the longer, more in-depth overviews. I like hearing you talk/gush about a story arc/run/creator/era and why you do (or don't) love it/them. It's your enthusiasm for these books and stories that help me one way or another, decide whether to get them or not (your overview of Wolverine omnibus Vol. 3 being a prime example). Because of you, i've bought a few books that i wouldn't have otherwise (Jason Aaron's Thor) and you haven't let me down yet (nor do i think you ever will). The only suggestion i would like for your to consider if you don't mind, is that towards or even at the end of the main overview, you do a spoiler section to discuss particular issues or arcs in full. Maybe you could do it as sort of a post-credit scene after you've discussed everything else? It would be fun and interesting to hear you talk about these things for people who already know what the story is, what happens, don't mind spoilers etc. Other than that, keep up the great work!🙂 As for this book, yep it's already on my (very long) list. Hopefully i'll get to it before a third printing comes out!😅
I like the longer version. Anybody can show off a book but only Omar comes with the enthusiasm and knowledge that I love to listen to about all omni's he show cases
I prefer the longer overviews. You cover practically everything, cover to cover (see what I did there?)... That way we learn more about the stories, the creators, the stories of the creators, the build of the book, etc... And you warn us about spoilers on time, so... Definitely, longer overviews! Thanks Omar.
We like them omnis thicker than a snicker and them videos longer and stronger! You be you brother 💯. The best part of the shows are you talking about the stories and the artists and what they mean to you. . If people want shorter videos there's always a fast forward option.
I watch your overviews even when I'm not getting the book because of the way you connect with the stories and make them feel important (not that they aren't). It would be awesome if you could keep the long videos coming...maybe a deep overview when it's a first time to "feel the story" and a short one like this when you've done it before?
I really like the longer overviews, they're incredibly fun and informative for me. Maybe shorter ones for reprints like this that you've already covered once with a link to the original, but definitely the longer type for the first time through.
I enjoyed this overview. Sometimes less is more. I get worried of something being spoiled sometimes but you are pretty good at putting out a spoiler warning. With that being said, the lengths of your reviews have never bothered me.
Definitely picking this one up, last one I need for the full set! (Until volume 5…and maybe Maestro…) I think it makes sense to do shorter overviews on reprints/books you’ve already done but I will watch any overview for a book I’m interested in no matter how long!
Both. You can release 2 x 12-15 min vids. 1 focusing on the built, paper quality, content and comparison while the other focusing on the stories and your thoughts. You can do 1 shoot but you'll need the discipline to compartmentalize what you're going to say for easier separation/editing. 🤓
To use the parlance of our time, he's Himbo Hulk! And I, too, prefer the longer overviews. I could watch/hear you talk about comics all day, and I kinda have.
Jan Duurseema is a much underrated artist. She was often used as a competeny journeyman fill-in artist, but given a longer run she could develop a style and comprehensive story-telling method. My favourite runs she did was Arion: Lord of Atlantis and Dungeons & Dragons, both for DC. This book is worth it just for her work.
Totally agree with Omar that this is the best part of the Peter David run. He and Dale Keown worked seamlessly together and were a great team. I was so disappointed in Marvel firing Keown after #398 because he was going to move on to Image and do Pitt after #400 so we were robbed of him finishing the 2 final issues of that story. As for overview length, I prefer in depth but anything past 30 minutes gets to be too much for me.
I gotta have more Uncanny Omar! Just thinking of the famous SNL skit , I gotta have more cow bell. I'm newer to comics, so the stories that are collected interest me more than paper thickness.
If you've already done an overview a book (like this one), you don't need to do that twice for a reprint. But, if there's a new book or a book that you didn't make an overview (like Marvel Knights by Quesada Omnibus), sure, go ahead, I love your longer 30-minutes type of reviews.
I would like to have a overview of what important stories in the book, variety of characters, and what is either happening in that universe or were to falls in the timeline.
I like your longer overviews generally - I can always scroll ahead if I want. But in this case you've already done a previous overview which you linked so if time is short, this format is fine for a repint review. The key part is the comparison with the old printing which you nailed as usual. Question: Dust jackets aside, which version would you keep?
Enjoy the longer overviews because I enjoy listening to you opinions on stories and the interesting insights/history of the book that we can only find here. Other people can talk to me about the generic stuff like build quality
I like this short for direct comparison overviews. I am one of those people who will not buy a book with bad pages or eyes. I’ll just get the epic collection at that point. Or I’ll hunt down a first print if the new one isnt as good. -Long videos for 1st prints are wonderful. Love hearing your thoughts!
Definitely more of a fan of the longer overviews. They're especially helpful for books or series I know less about so I can get a good handle on it a book would be for me or not.
I understand, and it saddens me to do so, that the algorythm DEMANDS certain kind of content, lenght and format, and since this is how you make a living now, I think nobody could blame you if you decide to go for shorter videos, but personally I LOVE the way you review a book beyond the show and tell aspect of it. For me, the true value of your content is what YOU know and love of these stories, the litle factoids thrown here and there, the anecdotes about where you were in life when you read those books the first time... basically, the ammount of heart you pour in every review.
You could do the shorter version for UA-cam and a longer version for patreon if it works that way. I guess that means i would have to join patreon, lol.
Glad to be able to pick this up today!! i like the more in depth reviews.....BUT on reprints, I think it's plenty just mentioning you've done a longer review so people can go look it up. I don't see how you can give two or more longer reviews on the same material without repeating yourself. Not to mention I know it has to save some time since I can't imagine how you get done what all you do anyways. Honestly, I need a nap just thinking about it.
I'm happy that Marvel reprints the books we want. I purchased vol.1 when it came out, but missed on the rest. Finally I bought vol 2-4 end of last year, and I can't wait to jump into it.
Longer overviews for sure! Especially when debating if I want to buy a book or not that helps. One suggestion that I would love to see is the potential of a review add on to your overviews. I know ratings are subjective but I think you understand enough history and have great taste that your opinion goes far.
Been meaning to get into this run. I think I’ll start that with this Omni even though it’s volume 2. Also, I love the long overviews, even if it’s not one I’m gonna pick up.
In hindsight, I wish Isse #377 was the DM cover. The white background looks better on #367 as a single issue than an OHC. I actually like the in depth longer videos.
My preference is more editorializing from you, Omar. BUT maybe front-load the more technical info, and then go back and talk about the stories / memories, and be more consistent with time-stamping the different pieces
I like the shorter overviews for reprints though it would also be good to have a link to the original overview for those who may be interested. also curious why reprint this and not the first omni ?
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???
@@NearMintCondition really bummed out to have missed a great deal on Ultimate Spider-Man Vol 2. Barely 5 days after realse and it’s out of stock 😂 Hope it comes back soon. Meanwhile, after seeing your nick spencer Spider-Man video and reading the comments, Inam considering buying that one before it goes out of stock too. Thanks for the informative reveiws, you’re a big reasons I got into collecting Omnis!
Hi Omar, I also prefer your longer videos but I can see doing a shorter one for a reprint that is only a few years old. I’m glad you included a link to your original video. You might ask on the live Saturday show for people to come up with subject ideas for shorter videos.
I like the longer reviews but it is not an enjoyable viewing experience when I have to hit the mute button to avoid spoilers and not being sure of when you are done talking about spoilers so I can hit unmute. A great overview can be done without spoiling content. There is no "I have talk about (place spoilers here)". Just a friendly critique.
Constructive criticism here. I think the 30 minute overviews while good for context are sometimes too long to commit especially if we get multiple videos a day. I have had times where I haven't finished the video. I seem to be watching more about books on UA-cam than reading them thesedays😂 I do love listening to you talk though and would rather have the odd longer video if you have a lot to say, like X-Men. But feel the Hulk overview was too short and honestly felt a little rushed for my liking. I think being so short affects the quality and enjoyment for me somehow. I think the sweet spot is about 18 to 20 minutes imo.🙂 I wouldn't mind a couple less omnibus videos either and showcasing different formats more but that's really down to me not buying many omnis.🙂

I appreciate the longer videos when you go over the different stories. It helps me determine if I should buy the book or not
I enjoy your longer overviews usually. This book I already have so it’s nice to see the quicker comparison.
I really like the longer overviews, they're incredibly fun and informative for me. Maybe shorter ones for reprints like this that you've already covered once with a link to the original, but definitely the longer type for the first time through.
More extended overviews !!! It's a pleasure to view daily your videos. You are the best at this.
I enjoy the longer reviews. Hearing you talk about the stories completes it
You geeking out over the stories you love has inspired me to buy many, many omnibuses. Never stop doing you, Omar.
I prefer longer overviews, hearing your knowledge and insight is helpful.
The longer the better and your overviews are no exception
I prefer the longer versions. We get a lot more insight in that and get to view more artwork
I enjoyed this overview. Sometimes less is more. I get worried of something being spoiled sometimes but you are pretty good at putting out a spoiler warning. With that being said, the lengths of your reviews have never bothered me.
Easily, some of the best Hulk and comic stories ever!
Definitely picking this one up, last one I need for the full set! (Until volume 5…and maybe Maestro…)
I think it makes sense to do shorter overviews on reprints/books you’ve already done but I will watch any overview for a book I’m interested in no matter how long!

Amazing artwork on this one! Love the longer overviews. Maybe put in timestamps for those watxhers tjat don’t like the deeper overview!

My favourite runs she did was Arion: Lord of Atlantis and Dungeons & Dragons, both for DC. This book is worth it just for her work.
Her Star Wars comics with John Ostrander were pretty great, she had really matured as an artist by then.
Totally agree with Omar that this is the best part of the Peter David run. He and Dale Keown worked seamlessly together and were a great team.

Don't make me angry, you wouldn't like me when I'm angry! More Omar = Better
I would like to have a overview of what important stories in the book, variety of characters, and what is either happening in that universe or were to falls in the timeline.
But I do like the stuff you do when new omnibus come out but maybe another video called spoilers for people that are more seasoned to comics.
Peter David's run on Incredible Hulk was nothing short of excellent!
His run, plus the TV show in the late 1970's, made me a huge fan!

You should make a video of top ten creators who redefined a character.

Well since I have vol1 for McFarlane and v3 for Peter David. And maestro.

My preference is more editorializing from you, Omar. BUT maybe front-load the more technical info, and then go back and talk about the stories / memories, and be more consistent with time-stamping the different pieces
If I could only buy one of the Peter David Hulk Omnis, which one would be the best?
are they going to reprint Vol. 1?

My man!
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???
Man, another one? What’s this, the 4th Marvel Omni in a few days?
The third. But honestly, it's because DC's collected editions department doesn't print as many omnibuses.
Three this week. The delays moved things to December and January.
