And here I am thinking I was one of the very few to appreciate the art of Gene Colan. When he drew Iron-Man, you could actually sense how ponderously Tony Stark moved in his armor. That was how the knights of old moved when wearing all that weight. Stark's armor hadn't yet evolved into the flexibility it has today. When he drew Daredevil, one noticed how he'd tilt his head at times during fights. Colan showed those subtleties. The fact that DD moved with such fluidity in fights that even Captain America couldn't detect his blindness was masterful artistry. Gene Colan also drew Dr. Strange, Captain America, Capt. Marvel and even a couple of Avengers ("Like a Death Ray from the Sky"). And yes, though I already have the Epics, I'm ordering the omnibus.
I'm trying to cut down on pre-orders, BUT... I made sure to pre-order this one. Gotta support those Silver Age collections!
As an aside, this also takes Daredevil directly to where Essential Daredevil Vol. 3 ended. Half-way there!
Gene Colan was one of the top 5 guys in the silver and Bronze Age.
Artistically Gene Colan’s Tomb of Dracula was the best Marvel series in the 70s.
And his Daredevil run is visually stunning.
I’ve already preordered this. Hopefully a volume 3 will come one day!
If people keep buying them, then it will happen.
@@Benm701 Maybe
I believe in April of next year Vol. 3 will land
It's so refreshing reading these old silver age Daredevil's, these days especially since the show came out it feels like everyone wants Daredevil to be just Frank Miller's version and I love that as much as the next guy, but I think this era deserves its due and is still a good version of the character.
The Jester saga is very underrated and #41-55 are all great and underrated to me and issue 60 is a very fun and creative issue too.
Great review 👏. Gene Colan, without a doubt, belongs in the pantheon of great Silver Age artists. I bought these issues at the time and they are pure gold.
Great Review Omar! I started reading Daredevil in ‘73,I’ll probably pick this up! Daredevil is one of my favorite characters!
The greatest fictional character ever.
Thank you. Yes, one of the best.
Syd Shores was a very under rated artist. I loved all his Captain America stuff he did from the golden age onwards
really glad you came to see the Colan light. I get he’s a tough sell to anyone who grew up with 90s art. But he could create atmosphere (and humour) at will, and with little regard for standard comic book realism. Amazing.
Man I wish I had Roy Thomas's memory.....I could sit and listen to those bullpen stories all day.
Not the greatest DD stories but a must for me for the Colan art. One of the greats. Not sure why it is so small in comparison to vol 1. I wish they would make them larger to help assure we get all the early issues, I don't see a volume 5 DD selling.
Surely there’s just enough room for 2 more to link up to Miller?
Plus it’s probably smaller looking because of the paper, vol 1 is pretty oldish.
I've tried this era and I just can't. It was so bad.
@@g-roy23 That's a good point, vol 1 does have thick paper but it also collects 1-42 plus 1 annual and other material so 45-ish issues. Vol 2 collects 33 issues. I think they made it smaller to make it a $100 book thinking silver age may sell more at that price point but at this size it will definetely be 3 more to reach Miller.
@G-Roy yea i think you're they typically do 3 marvel masterworks per omnibus. 6 more MMW and then comes frank miller
I owe ya big time for the dryer sheet tip. I've been using it for some time. Thanks for sharing the DD Omni with us.
Read these in epics and sold them immediately.
Thank you Omar for the informative overview as always! My copy is on order and I really hope we get a volume 3 & 4 to take us to the Frank Miller run. 👍🏼
What a beauty.❤️❤️❤️ I will get my copy when I get a chance. I got other omnis to get. But I am definitely getting this.
I'm more of an epic man myself, but I'm happy it's coming out in Omnibus editions for all the omniheads out there. I'm looking forward to seeing more books come out and eventually see the Miller run of DD in Epic collections (seeing that there have already been multiple printings of the omnibus) Eventually, we'll get all the DD comics in epic & Omnibus editions. Looking forward to that!
I'm waiting for mine to ship from OPB. Looking forward to it!
I pre-ordered this thru CGN and I'm looking forward to this! Great review!
I hope we get a vol 3 and also some Nocenti omnibus announcements
That Loki omnibus is taunting me in the background - looking forward to getting it. Oh, and should be receiving DD vol 2 shortly :)
I've never read silver age Daredevil. I imagine it's very different from the Frank Millar years and forward. Not sure I feel confident enough to make the investment even though DD is my favorite Marvel character.
As far as I am concerned DD has never had a bad run. Of course Miller was good, but Frank used these stories as a foundation for his run.
You can't have one without the other.
@@jeffsuter344Gotta walk before you can run
@@jeffsuter344 Sorry man but I can't believe you've actually read this stories if you call them a good run. And DD has had some other bad runs too (the majority of the O'Neil, Chichester and Joe Kelly issues are a mess)
damnn lol
DD vol 1 was one of the first omni's i brought when i started in 2020.
It wasn't untill vol 2 was annouced i made an attempt to read and i only finished about 6 weeks ago. It was heavy going and i don't think the mike murdock plot line helped.
Now with Vol 2 coming my wayi am pleased to be getting it but also disappointed as it will now ge out of place due to different fo font and spine design.
Gene's art is like a fine wine and it improves with age as there hasnever been another person like him.
A nice review and i hope to see a vol 3 next year to celebrate DD 60th.
For the life of me I can’t figure out WHY WHY WHY does Marvel change the spine design on their Omnibuses in the middle of completing a series. What a revolting development.
Great work from Gene Colan, as you mentioned. But these hyper-contrast colors on the reprints are starting to bum me out.
If it looks the same as viewing on an iPad, it's not too big a stretch to imagine reading these digitally.
I really want to get this but volume 1 is not available in the UK anymore. Is it still worth buying this as I have a strong understanding of the characters?
Funny, I just got a tracking notification that mine was arriving today.
I will say that I was on the fence about buying the first DD, but when I saw this volume scheduled for release, I was excited and decided to go ahead and pull the trigger on both! Super excited to read these… 😊
Hope you enjoy it! Now we have a volume 3 coming!
@@NearMintCondition Hell yeah! :D
Man almost any Silver age collection jumps onto my radar
Definetly getting this even though I know it's not the best DD material
My copy arrived today and I only just realized it's almost 300 pages shorter than Vol. 1. Still a must-have, but if it had collected up to DD #86, I could have stopped hoping they'd reprint the DD Epic Collection: A Woman Called Widow, and I wouldn't be double-dipping when the finally do.
I am one of the people that bought Vol 1. Looking forward to this volume !
Not only did I pre-order this, I went back and bought v1 as soon as this was announced! Omar, I'm with you on Gene Colan as I didn't appreciate him until much later. It was his Tomb of Dracula run that changed me into a big fan of his work. I've heard about the dryer sheet trick before but I don't think there is a ziploc big enough for an omni? Maybe plastic wrap instead?
I'm waiting on the Miller era Epic(s) to go with my Nocenti/early Chichester books.
As I was insulted on the Saturday Live Stream for liking "Old man comics", you can bet I am getting this Omni. That's what we old men do.
Hahaha you and everyone over 40…. These youngins!
Sorry you two, but these stories were so bad.
I'm a millennial and loved the first two daredevil masterworks I found at a comic shop for a tremendous discount so you're not alone!
A gorgeous book!!!!!!!!!
The main thing I don't get is why they didn't reprint Daredevil Vol 1 before/alongside this. Same goes for The Mighty Thor Vol 4 omnibus, when Vols 2 and 3 of that series haven't been printed in a good while either. I'd have figured they might be able to get more buyers that way.
It's especially odd considering that they're reprinting the whole run of Silver Age Avengers omnis from Vol 1 through to 4 later this year, with a new extra Vol 5 on the way too.
its so funny gene coon drew so much stuff but i always think of him as a dracula artist
Hey Omar, do you think all the new modern epic collections will slow down the omnibus line?
Not at all.
@Near Mint Condition great!
Oh no! No shot of the credits page. Is this an Imak printer book?
I would like to get this, but only after a vol 1 reprint is announced.
Could you please do an updated Daredevil reading order?
OK, i know this is wrong place perhaps, but i wonder if "Daredevil: Born Again" on D+ will be adaptation of the comic, or creators just borrowing the title?
Did the reprint of vol 1 have the new dust jacket spine design?
There is no reprint of volume 1.
Is Volume 1 being reprinted?
No it’s not.
unless you’re a diehard DD fan, I’d skip this. series was mediocre at best until Frank joined the title.
We can't all like the same things. You are entitled to your opinion.
I'm a diehard DD fan and I can't handle this material. It was one of the weakest Marvel series of that period, if not the weakest. Only the art has some worth.
@@AntonioHernandez-oq1jvwas it that bad?? I have vol 1 and never finished the omni
@@AntonioHernandez-oq1jvrespectfully can’t handle the old material. I learned the hard way with the Loki Omnibus however, I was just getting into comics and failed to preview it beforehand lol.
@@TheWrestlinEra I actually love the old comics from the 60s and 70s if they are good. Sadly DD isn't.
I appreciated Gene Colan’s artistry but it all depended on the inker. I loved his stuff in Howard the Duck, when he was inked by Steve Leialoha. His Datedevil run was inked by Vince Colletta, whose style I despise. Colletta could ruin any one’s art.
Since the new spine design, Marvel saved me money on Spider-Man, Avengers, Captain America, Defenders and Fantastic Four. I really don't understand this move and wont buy into it. They changed this after so many years in a very crappy way. Tiny font on the spine....😢
Both cover choices are the absolute pits
The worst spine ever...
Pass for me only Daredevil run I like is Bendis run everything else not really a fan of.
Your loss! DD is my Marvel Batman!
@@JCtheComicGeek not a Batman fan
