Beautiful brother! This what all Sequential Art Enthusiasts need to do: Read and Own Comics from all over the world! Not just american comics only or manga only. I try to bingeread 3 series, one from usa, one from europe and the other from japan or korean or even china etc. Just got done marathoning all of Minoru Furuya’s Series. I believe he only has one series fully released in usa named: CIGUATERA Omnibus Vol 1-3. Hella frakking masterful. I get high off all his works, I consider him a National Treasure. On the Western/Non-Asian Comics side: Charles Burns Final Cut. Crazy how the French got his work fully released while ‘Murica had to wait for nigh on a year just to get the complete tome. Concerning Europe: theres always that upcoming HEAVY METAL that was successful on kickstarter and looking forward to those Anthology Magz style format of stories! Happy Readings buddy & LONG LIVE COMICS!
Just found your channel. Great collection! I've been collecting single issues for about 35 years and only started with omnis and oversized hardcovers in the last year or so. It's tough collecting both but I can't commit to one or the other since I like both so much. It'll grow over time. So many cool stories and I love how those omnis look on the shelf. Thanks for sharing!
I was collecting singles for a long time (since 2001-2002) before jumping into the Omni game but I haven’t looked back sense. Something about a book that keeps and displays beautifully makes it feel way more worth it to me not to mention you get entire series and runs. Waiting is typically the hardest part, but for stuff ongoing or current I just try to read them online. That how I handled the decision Atleast so I hope that helps a little bit, but welcome to the channel! Your 35 years of knowledge is going to be a great addition to the community!
I try to do my best and talk a little about the less fan favorite run and titles to show some love when I can since a lot of them are still great. Thanks for coming to watch and hang out and welcome!
Great recommendations! I read Locke and key but need to recollect it. I picked up black hammer vol 1 but need to grab the rest. I plan on getting the Astro city hard cover for sure once that’s released. I haven’t heard of Mind MGMT so I’ll have to for sure check that out! Thank You!
@@Illuminerdy_ know I saw the clip - amazing seeing the likes of Hawkeye, Alpha Flight, DD by Miller etc actually on a shelf! Unfortunately I’m in the UK. Of yours I’m looking for Winter Soldier (like you I also need Trial), Annihilation Conquest and Yellow, Blue, Grey White. I guess the chase is part of the fun
@@garyfoster65 ahhh I see and hmmm one of those may potentially be the book I’ll be giving away soon 👀👀 keep a eye out and happy hunting on the rest my friend! I’ll let you know anything I find!
I tried to get into sandman but couldn’t BUT now that I’m older I’ve been wanting to give it another try so possibly! As far as Kabuki goes you got me on that one haha never heard of it! I’m gonna have to check it out!
What a variety ! I really like how you took the time to read each title, gives people a chance to check out new titles. Never heard of Seven to Eternity which looks freakin epic, will have to check it out and didnt know grand design was collected in a omni. Really shows you put care into your library. Also the term is "sprayed edges" for the Deathnote black editions. Id say to check out Fourth World by Jack Kirby, for such an old title its was a lot of fun, and you have to get them in absolute edition haha plus anything with batman, need more batman titles ✌️
Thank you for watching! And okay I’ll use the term sprayed edges but then it has me curious what glossy edges like sentient would be? Still sprayed maybe? Also yes I do have plans for more Batman but I never rush to his books because of his popularity in the community and that 1. Most people know about his books and 2. His books are always easy to find due to his popularity (minus the knightfall omnis, I really want those tho) Thank you for watching and being a part of the community!
If Pluto gets a collected edition or perfect addition like monster or 20th century boys then I will for sure add it to my collection but until then I don’t plan on jumping into the singles game just yet.
Waw. Supernice collection. I am not really into manga. But the rest looks really impressive. Star Wars The old republic is very hard to find here in Europe. Hope to get it in my collection someday. Seems like you have no trade paperbacks? You recommended me Green Lantern by Geoff Johns and I started reading it this week. The first half of the rebirth trade paperback was a little confusing but once I knew what was happining, it was a blast. What an ending!! Now started reading No Fear. Man, this was some good advice. Thanks a lot. Also ordered Green Lantern earth one. I heard it was very good. 😆
Hi my friend and congratulation for your collection. I'm from Italy and I'm really curious how the digital comics have been developed in your country. Do you read some story in digital and what do you thing about the digital? Thank you
@@Illuminerdy_ sorry for my english. I meant, how is the percentage of readers that read digital comic instead of the paper one? I've red some articles here in Italy regarding the digital but I think they don't tell the truth.
@@freakythinker4821 I’m no expert but I’d say the percentage prob leans more digital over physical until it comes to the collected editions world like what I collect. I’m not sure what your articles said but that’s what I feel I’ve noticed but like I said I’m no expert and that’s just a assumption.
No jojos. You have most of my favourite mangas. Full metal alchemist, akira even fist of the North star but no jojos bizzare adventure. Though I do love your collection. Mostly mangas that have some real substance. Iv read some real out there mangas tbh but still always fall back on death note, berserk, fist of the North star and oh yeah jojos bizarre adventure. Dont worry im kidding really you might just not be into it.
Haha I know i know I here it a lot from the community. I tried it in the past and tried the anime and something about the art style always turned me away BUT I am ALWAYS open to retrying series again now that I’m older. I especially wanna try it again because of how beautiful those hard covers are! The rest I’ve loved and I’ve very much fell in love with manga in general but alot of titles are subjective but I still plan to give all titles I read multiple chances to hook me if they haven’t.
@@Illuminerdy_ if it makes you feel better his art style changes through parts. It evolved through time. Starting off with the 80s stry at the time then moving forward through time. Now in 2023 its nothing like it was back in 1987. Its fun and and its nothing like anything out there. It inspired alot if manga out today and now arakis is displayed at the Louvre in Paris in the same museum as the Lisa mona. So give it a shot.
@@thegeoshow5296 yeah I have heard that and that’s what has made me wanna take another shot especially when I think of early kentaro and how much he evolved. I plan to try once again at some point and I’ll make sure to do a review so me and you can talk all the JoJos!

Great collection! Your indie book section has a entire shelf now!
Thank you!
Your collection is amazing bro ! And Earth 2 is definitely one of my most wanted DC omni’s. Love your setup man.
Thank you man I appreciate ya!
Nice tour 😮
Thank you!
Yes, Avengers Endless Wartime is a waste of shelf space! Great video and cool collection.
Thank you and thank you so much for tuning in!
What a awesome collection! I’m jealous of the vagabond vis big books, there next on my list. Excited to see how much this grows over time.
Thanks for watching!
When ever you do start collecting Vagabond I have a volume 8 here with your name on it!
Awesome tour! Saw you on IG and had to rush over. Happy to hear your thoughts throughout on some titles that need more love!
I try to do my best and talk a little about the less fan favorite run and titles to show some love when I can since a lot of them are still great. Thanks for coming to watch and hang out and welcome!
Here are some titles, I really enjoy:
-Locke & Key
-Mind MGMT
-Astro City
-Black Hammer
Great recommendations!
I read Locke and key but need to recollect it. I picked up black hammer vol 1 but need to grab the rest. I plan on getting the Astro city hard cover for sure once that’s released. I haven’t heard of Mind MGMT so I’ll have to for sure check that out!

Great collection and tour. Got a few of my whales in there for sure.
Which books you referencing? Just stopped by a comics shop recently that had crazy whales

Wow!! Great collection!! U should add the sandman deluxe editions and kabuki(dark horse) to ur comics collection
I tried to get into sandman but couldn’t BUT now that I’m older I’ve been wanting to give it another try so possibly! As far as Kabuki goes you got me on that one haha never heard of it! I’m gonna have to check it out!
wow you remind me of this other youtuber trpycris! Great video!
I’m not exactly familiar with who that is but I’ll check him out. Thanks for tuning in!
Great collection. I want that JLA by Scott Snyder books so bad..
I highly recommend! They are still fairly easy to get.

Great collection but just a heads up that oblivion song volumes 2 and 3 are already out! Great read!
Yeah I knew they were out but I gotta get them in hand. I’m very excited to give it a try!
You should add Pluto to your collection, I'm surprised it's not already.
If Pluto gets a collected edition or perfect addition like monster or 20th century boys then I will for sure add it to my collection but until then I don’t plan on jumping into the singles game just yet.

And it’s my pleasure to help out a fellow nerd. Any other questions or what ever always feel free to shoot them my way!
What book shelves do you use?
IKEA Billy Book shelves are the ones I use!
@@Illuminerdy_ thanks for the quick response man!
Where did you get your shelves???
Those are Billy Bookshelves from IKEA!
@@Illuminerdy_ awesome!!! Thank you!!!
Hi my friend and congratulation for your collection. I'm from Italy and I'm really curious how the digital comics have been developed in your country. Do you read some story in digital and what do you thing about the digital? Thank you
Thank you and thank you for tuning in!
I read some digitally yes but not all. I do prefer physical over digital but the digital option is a great one!
@@Illuminerdy_ can I ask you how is developed the digital comic in your country?
@@freakythinker4821 I’m not sure what you asking.
I’m not exactly sure how digital comics are developed but you can read then using online apps.

@@Illuminerdy_ definitely we can. And I am a berserk fan as well. That is an epic that will stand the test of time.

I hate alphabetical
Okay lol
