These spine changes are slightly frustrating. I do prefer the newer design, it’s just tough for those of us that already have Vol 1 and 2 with the old design. I’ve learned to let it go since I buy my books to read first and foremost.
I've let it go, but then when book arrives that I want, like Wolverine V3 or UXM V5... I know all my harsh feelings are going to come rushing back lol.
@@usedbymyusername the X-Men one is going to drive me crazy, I think that’s when I will get my first custom dust jacket made
Totally agree... if I didnt know any better I would say it's a sinister move to try and get you to buy the book again... I'm just guna live with having the original two spines and a different spine for volume 3 personally.
@@nathanboult4873 I honestly think that’s what it is. I won’t call it sinister but it’s a business, and it is almost certainly on purpose to take advantage of the habits of collectors. I think a nice solution would be to have the old design on the DM covers.
@@ryanp8021 They really should offer the old spine design on a variant cover while they transition to the new look.
My jaw dropped when you took the dust jacket off!
Weird that they reprinted this so soon considering that the first one is still pretty easily found most places. I don't see much real point other then to piss off people that are sticklers for their spine art. Wolverine by Mark Millar is the one that should have gotten the reprint love.
Hey Omar. Thanks for the overview and for the amazing job as usual. I do have to say that this business practice that Marvel is adopting, changing spines of pre-established collections is absolutely sickening and it pushes me away from collecting, one book at a time. Wolverine Omnibus Vol.3 is my Wolverine and what I grew up with, therefore it's pre-ordered. Beyond that, the road is unclear. First Spider-man, now Wolverine and next up surely X-Men Vol. 5 will once again disrespect older collectors. Not cool. We should at least be given the option to keep our collections consistent. Sorry for the rant! You are the best at what you do, and what you do is very nice! Peace. =)
Badass spine change. Hope they eventually redo the 60’s omnis with their iconic logo’s on the spine
Love the new spine ass well way better
Looking forward to vol 3. That's the Wolverine run I grew up reading. :)
Yes.. I agree my era as well...🤘🤘🤘
Looking forward to vol. 3 Bub!🙌🏽😆
Honestly, I can't bring myself to get too distressed by the spine changes. Ultimately, my OCD isn't that bad. I have the first printing with that excellent Byrne cover, and I'm happy with it
Can't wait to get my copy! Just hope the re-release volume 1 :)
Omar. Ask David to give us a Generation X omni!!
Cool, so more Marvel spines gonna be out of wack and not matching.
😝🤣🤣
I always get that deflated feeling when I hear the word ‘Imak’ but it’s a nice change to hear about the paper stock. Hope that might continue with future omnis. Thanks Omar!
Good to have u, Omar!
FYI-Wolverine volume 2 omnibus, I believe it’s from the previous printing so the spine won’t look like the one in this video, is $50 @ in stock trades as of 11/10/22. There’s two covers available, BWS cover is on spring sale & JB cover is under summer sale.
The new edition is a *vast* improvement! Original is still good, but thr new one? Great!
Also, the logo change on the spine is 'chef's kiss' - this what they should do with the 60s stuff rather than bizarrely make the text smaller... !
So, good moves all round, I think.
That new spine is muuuuuuuuuuuuch better!!
I think I prefer the older cover design, to be honest, over that wrap-around art.
I got a "nick and dent" copy of this from cheapgraphicnovels for 50 bucks a couple months ago, which then encouraged me to buy vol 1 and pre-order vol 3, lol. I guess I'll know the Amazing Spider-Man omnibus collectors' pain now with the updated spines, lol. Actually, still kinda bothers me that my vol 1 reprint doesn't say "Vol" on the spine like the first printing does.
Mine says it was printed at Donnelley, but also says it's a "first printing" in the liner notes. Weird.
_speaking of "weird." That's a weird cut at __1:35_
Now my volume 3 will have a different spine… great. 🫠
It kinda sucks, but I’m just glad to finally have the entire Silvestri run and most of Sam Kieth MCP in oversized.
I bought Bloodlust. Went to a sleep over that night and read it. It was awesome🔥🔥🔥
damn thats hawt, Meltdown is a crazy awesome way to start of that omni
dammmnnn and savage land? i dont even buy marvel omnis like that but this ones stacked
Excellent comparison Omar thank you brother, this spine changes really hurting my OCD when I look at the shelves. On the 1st one's spine vol is not written down there, just number 1 is written, however in the second one vol 2 is written and now they change the wolverine font 😂. Marvel have no respect for us OCD people . By the way I like the new wolverine font on the spine, it's just that it won't match with the others but what can you do lol, first and second does not even match anyways haha.
I love it but I will stick to my original copy. Marvel is the move with these awesome spine but my honest opinion they need to get on a freaking ball with the classic reprints like wth!!!. It's agonizing to wait. But I can't wait to see volume 3 next year.💯💯💯
Great over view,Omar.I will say that I don't like Marvel changing the spine just to get those afflicted with spineitis to repurchase.That being said,not going to let it bother me and I look forward to vol.3.I see you have Conan vol.10 peeking out on the shelf.Nice.Surprised that you got one so early.
This looks absolutely stunning! What a cover!
I just found a copy of this on ebay for $50, can’t wait to read it
The best there is at what he does and what he does isn't very nice 😂
I really hope the spine for vol 3 will match the originals then the next printing can be the new font
Or they can make one of the dm variants with original font
@@josephpetersen1728 I have been saying thats what they should do for DM is have different spine styles as well as graphics.
So it sounds like the reprint is a strict upgrade over the older editions :/ thicker paper, curved spine, Wolverine logo on spine. Dam you Marvel! Take my money! lol
Hi Omar! Any idea when they’ll reprint Vol.1? Can’t seem to find it anywhere except for a couple of places on the internet that sells it for ~$300 :/
Love the SPINE, bub!!! Thanks Omar!!
Marvel is kind of a monkeys paw - print most everything you can ask for, BUT skip some issues, double dip or change spines in a series or entire line.
I got this Vol 2 cheap on ebay...got luckg but havent even had time to read it. Ive been all the place with reading Spiderman omnis
I’m a little confused - does the second printing have the Havok & Wolverine Meltdown issues, or are those only in the new printing? I’m wondering which to buy if there’s a more affordable copy of the 2nd print out there.
It’s in the original printing too. No difference in mapping.
@@NearMintCondition , thank you!
After which Uncanny X-Men issue should I start digging into this omnibus?
We want predator predator predator !!! 😅
The spines should have been the font they are on the individual books this whole time. It’s annoying that they’re changing them on $125 books when they know it’s collectors who get them. They should know collectors are particular about things
Hi Omar @nearmintcondition , what is your cut off on buying omnies of Wolverine Vol 1 should they go to the end of that run, mine might be issue 132 before the Erik Larsen run
Great vid like always Omar but Wolverine is Meh to me still great vid 👍 though
Still easy to get vol 2
Why not vol 1. Now that I still cant find for a good/ok price
I’m excited to read volume 3 because it’s got your favorite Wolverine issue. And I really liked Volume 1, but I hated this book. It’s probably my least favorite omnibus I’ve read this year of the 40 or so I’ve read.
You were sitting down at the collected editions department helping map this out? So you've finally landed a job at Marvel?
Ha! I wish!
Wait, what's that about "Volume 3 hopefully by end of year"?? Isn't it out on the 16th?
They like to delay omnis literally on release day
@@Rickeyjames10 Considering that it was initially due out in August, if my memory doesn't fail, I fucking hope they don't delay it again. Although having Omar say that makes me think he hasn't received a copy yet and considering we're about a week away, that makes me worry 😔
It changed to Jan 17, 2023 ages ago.
@@blacksun7471 Can't find that date on anywhere.
@@xlordlocustx Amazon and Indigo in Canada.
Has the Imak printer quality improved or is it the same?
Quality varies for every single book, there is no consistency. It is like rolling the dices every time a new book comes from there
I try to point out everything in the books. So it’s really case by case. There are some books that have thin paper and some thick.
Way better than the micro-fonts but still a change which tries to push old time collectors into buying again. Not cool, not fair. Why can't they release a variant with classic dress for Vol. 3?
What's funny is that eventually they'll reprint and change again the Omnis with micro-fonts to this new "original logo" design (already seen on Byrne's FF as well). And all of the people that worshipped Marvel for being so creative and awesome will finally feel what it means having mismatched shelves. 🤣
I got over the matching spines years ago. Manga will wreck your shelf with mismatching spines for the same series.
@@NearMintCondition US manga Editions, you mean? I'm not familiar with that market, only Dark Horse HCs which seem super consistent in style. Original Japanese tankoubon keep strict matching dress through the decades. But then again, how much does a US manga cost? Marvel Omnibus are 100-125 US$ on average. IMO it gives buyers the right to be way more demanding.
That said, I stopped buying all Classic Omnis with micro-fonts last year, so problem solved on my side. 😅
I'm sure they will drop the micro-fonts eventually (2024 reprints? 2025?), I'll wait for that happen and see if the next trade dress fits better with my original issues. Replicating title's logo like they did with Invaders (Bronze Age, supposedly a guaranteed micro-font) and Wolverine is definitely more pleasant to look at.
@@andreamateria3106 Oh DH was one of the worst. With Creepy and Eerie HCs. They couldn't make up their mind where they wanted the DH logo. The Oh My Goddess sets have three different designs, this is how they got my dumb butt to buy them again once they reprinted them in small format. I'm not talking about price, I'm just saying manga collectors have been through that hell for decades, eventually I got over it and just focused on the collections.
is the older printing that's compared in this video the same printing that omar reviewed last year?
That is correct. Sorry I had it confused with volume 1. I need some sleep.
Omar are you Peruvian?
Claro que si, hermano!
So my new printing came in and underneath the dust jacket it’s still like the old printing…. Weird
Does it have the new spine?
Omar is it possible that you meant Wolverine Omnibus vol 1 reprint had a flat spine in covid time just like black Widow Omnibus which was also printed in malaysia printer? Because I went back and double checked and looks like Wolverine Omnibus vol 2 was printed only in donnely in china. I am confident that The Wolverine Omnibus vol 1 reprint was both printed in malaysia first then imak Turkey afterwards. I got the curved spine for vol 1 reprint. Also I know because I told my friend to order Wolverine vol 1 reprint when I saw the restock/reprint which coincided with the Wolverine Omnibus vol 2 release date back then. (Exactly 1 year ago).Also Wolverine Omnibus vol 2 first print looks like it has a flat spine but actually it’s not flat when you closely look at it. Everyone who has the Wolverine Omnibus vol 2 first print have exactly the same spine(looks like flat but it’s actually curved) . I might be wrong also but I just wanted to let you know brother 😊 by the way, probably the reason you got confused is because Wolverine vol 1 reprint/restock and Wolverine Omnibus vol 2 came at the same time. If I am right
So Wolverine vol 1 had like 3 reprints I think that is why the confusion maybe, 1 of them was a stealth reprint.
Apologies for that. Correct volume 1. Volume 2 this is the second printing. Sigh long week :)
@@NearMintCondition no need to apologise omar my brother 😊 you give us really important and detailed information every single time anyways. I am always amazed by your knowledge 😊and love you bro and thanks again for your amazing work ❤️
If Vol 3 uses only this new spine unless they reprint Vol 1 with the a new spine there will be no way to have all 3 match, correct?
Correct. And volume 3 does use the new spine. We shared pics of it on social media.
@@NearMintCondition Collectors❤Consistency is not rocket science for Marvel Omnibus divisions. Thanks for a great reply!
Well they could also reprint Vol. 1 with the new spine too…
Damn a complete over haul every change on this book is an upgrade in my opinion sucks I already have this book ... I almost want to sell my old copy & buy this new printing
How are the Spiners doing?
Not too hawt.
Where can I purchase this?
At the Marvel Wolverine Omnibus Volume 2 store.
CGN has it now if you want to check them out. Depends on where you live too.
Seriously Marvel, stop doing that. At least for series that are already going on. And especially for reprints
