Another, more simple reason the Wolverine book keeps getting reprinted is simply because it sells. It's the first thing most Wolverine fans recommend when somewhere asks what Wolverine book to get. In my opinion, it truly is the best Wolverine story ever written, with Old Man Logan (Millar's original run) being my second favourite.
With the upcoming Moon Knight omni by Huston, Benson & Hurwitz if that sells well and Marvel wants to continue the multicreator omni Bendis would be in the next one
My Thor Epic To Wake The Mangog is coming this Friday according to my distributor. I always preferred the cosmic stuff for early Thor and this stuff includes the Mangog and an interesting reveal regarding Donald Blake and Thor. For me is a must own if you own anything of the 60s Thor. Just a heads up for anyone who is looking for great early Thor.
I just received the Doctor Strange trade paperback today from Amazon. I also received volume 2 of Mighty Marvel Masterworks for Spider-Man from Amazon. I prefer the trade paperbacks since it makes it affordable for me to read these comics.
So many good books. Looking forward to the Thor Epic, although CGN shows it not coming out until 3/1. I'm also curious about Captain America Truth and Moon Knight.
Been waiting for this video all day. Conan dark horse epics have been tempting me for a while . Hopefully we get reprints of oop ones as well. I really want to read the wolverine by Claremont but holding off on the eventual epic. Shared as usual. I hope your dad is doing better Omar. Melanie told me he was stable a few days ago. Been thinking of him. Edit must be first today.😄
Hey Omar, First I'd like to say thanks for getting me back into comics. Your reading orders have really made it easy to get into new runs. I'm not really familiar with Moon Knight, and have this collection ordered, is there another specific run you think is better to familiarize myself with the character/s
I don't collect a ton of Epics, mostly omnis and hardcovers, but I specifically collect Thor and Conan in that format because they're such 'epic' characters. 😁
Heysideburns 0 seconds ago I know im late to the party but the super soldier serum was not used on the black soldiers before Steve Rogers. The black soldiers weren’t put into the super soldier program until after Pearl Harbor, one year after Steve Rogers became Captain America. This has all been confirmed by Morales and Baker
Whaaat why didn't the Dark Horse omnies have the slayer stories? I missed out on those but have A Witch Shall be Born in their 7th omni. Damn. Double dip time
The only Dark Horse Conan I don’t have is Conan The Slayer and King Conan… can’t believe I haven’t seen anyone selling The Slayer Vol 1-2 for a reasonable price since it’s reprinted.
I could’ve sworn in the impossible-to-find first printing of the TRUTH tpb Alan Moore wrote an introduction. But have never been able to find a copy to verify! I know he had great blurb about it and I think he was friends with Robert Morales (who died 2013 RIP). What a terrific series
I would love to see Tom Grindberg work again with Marvel on anything but a Conan title would be great! His art style is perfect for this kind of book! I would also see him doing interiors on an X-O Manowar or Eternal Warrior project at Valiant. The Conan volume was solicited as the last of the Conan Chronicles Epic Collection so I guess the King Conan series of limited series (24 issues in total) done dy Dark Horse will be collected in regular trade paperbacks like the other limited series.
I'll probably get Moon Knight...maybe 🤔 I really want it in Omnibus 👍 I already Pre-ordered 9 Omni from DCBS in January (Killer Month) Hoping Thursday's Marvel May Solicitations Video will be Merciful on my Pre-orders lol 😅 Big 💜 and Big Thanks for Another Great Video...like Always 👍😁💜
That Moon Knight story sounds very interesting, and I definitely want to read it. I have never read Moon Knight before so this will be my first introduction to the character. At the moment I'm reading the first Batman/Superman omnibus and I like Supes and Bats' thoughts in there as they are presented to us, although the story is a little simple and the art a little too cartoony for my taste. Anyway I'm glad to be back to reading comics.
Hey Omar, been a huge Moon Knight fan at least since he got his own title. This particular run was a little... odd/ different but I did still enjoy it. I wonder what peoples feelings would be if they'd kept this idea up of his multiple personalities being other heroes... or villains, they could have added others as they went on?
Yes more Dark Horse Conan. I hve read everything up until this except the couple of miniseries. Omar, i gotta ask one thing. I have mismatch of collections of the beginning of this run with Busiek omnibus and four older dark horse Conan collections (4-7). So would you be willing to sell first three epics: out of darksome hills, heart of yag-kosha and return to cimmeria so i would have an uniform collection? 😄
Actually the contents of the Strange MMMW seem to have been changed at the last minute, and now it contains only up to #129. That's why you never find the Eternity storyline you mentioned! 😅
I personally hated that Moon Knight series. I sold my original copies immediately on eBay. But then again this was written by Bendis. He finds something in a character's past and blows it way out of proportion. Wanda has a dark side? Well let's have her kill the Avengers. Bobby Drake had a homosexuality thought in one comic? Well let's make him come out. If Bendis wrote the FF, he would make Invisible Woman go Dark Phoenix within a few issues because Sue had that minor brush with that Malice personality way back when.
I think it’s an amazing comic but ymmv, depending on taste. It was certainly a trailblazer for its time and now people are doing similar stuff all the time. Baker is certainly acquired taste. I think his GN about Nat Turner is one of all-time great comics that nobody ever celebrates. But yeah TRUTH (as I recall as I haven’t read it in long time) is an astonishing knockout work and makes you think about Captain America in new way.
I've read, and own, 'Truth' and it's a brilliant fascinating and horrifying story, but the terrible art almost ruined it for me. I get what they were trying to do, but I think it failed miserably. I know it wasn't their intent, but I feel the art style lessened the story, it looks like something out of the funny papers, a real pity, I think if it had been drawn by a different artist it would have been one of those books that end up on the New York Times Best Seller list. There's also a version of this story in 'Ultimate Origins' where it's Nick Fury that is the protagonist.
Another, more simple reason the Wolverine book keeps getting reprinted is simply because it sells. It's the first thing most Wolverine fans recommend when somewhere asks what Wolverine book to get. In my opinion, it truly is the best Wolverine story ever written, with Old Man Logan (Millar's original run) being my second favourite.
That is also another reason..
Japaaan! Gets me every time.
This was the first introduction to Moon Knight for me (read it on comixology), and I loved it. I would like to own it in hardcover some day ^^'
With the upcoming Moon Knight omni by Huston, Benson & Hurwitz if that sells well and Marvel wants to continue the multicreator omni Bendis would be in the next one

Excellent Dr Strange MMW
So many good books. Looking forward to the Thor Epic, although CGN shows it not coming out until 3/1. I'm also curious about Captain America Truth and Moon Knight.
I haven’t read a ton of early Thor but man does that Epic collection look, well, Epic 💪👏
Great video and coverage as always man :)

conan happy with the epics
I'm getting all the Conan epics and hoping for omni's
Why Truth is not in IST? Try to order on CGN but there milestone compendium is on special Covid order which means weeks of delay
Excited to read Captain America: Truth
Hey Omar, First I'd like to say thanks for getting me back into comics. Your reading orders have really made it easy to get into new runs.
I'm not really familiar with Moon Knight, and have this collection ordered, is there another specific run you think is better to familiarize myself with the character/s
This has almost nothing to do with the video, but I'd love a Sandman Universe (Vertigo) reading order by you, that'd be wonderful
I’d love to one day.
@nearmintcondition theres a King Conan DH era epic coming out in August. Looks like enough material for a volume 2 as well
Yes!!! More Conan! lol I think that era was written before this volume though? The Truman era?
Yes Truman. Seems its a run of 24 issues that is broken into 5 story arcs/mini series.
The book is on Amazon UK
Yeah so that was the era that was collected in Colossal format.
Excellent. You saved the best for last!
Hey Omar, a small correction. The Wolverine miniseries isn't collected in the epic collections. It's there in the omni though.
Thank you for that.
I don't collect a ton of Epics, mostly omnis and hardcovers, but I specifically collect Thor and Conan in that format because they're such 'epic' characters. 😁
Definitely getting the Moon Knight complete collection and the doctor strange mighty marvel masterwork
I really liked Truth, glad it's back in print.

Been waiting for this video to see if this Moon Knight run was good or not. Heard a lot of mixed reviews
I always leave it up to people to decide when doing overviews.
That Conan Epic isn't on IST for some reason.
Whaaat why didn't the Dark Horse omnies have the slayer stories? I missed out on those but have A Witch Shall be Born in their 7th omni. Damn. Double dip time
Waiting on those Conan Chronicles Omni. Would a new Moon Knight Omni go from Bendis through the Wood/Ellis/Bunn to Lemire?
The only Dark Horse Conan I don’t have is Conan The Slayer and King Conan… can’t believe I haven’t seen anyone selling The Slayer Vol 1-2 for a reasonable price since it’s reprinted.
I saw on Amazon that in august there is a King Conan Chronicles Epic Collection Vol. 1 of the Dark Horse stuff coming out.
I could’ve sworn in the impossible-to-find first printing of the TRUTH tpb Alan Moore wrote an introduction. But have never been able to find a copy to verify! I know he had great blurb about it and I think he was friends with Robert Morales (who died 2013 RIP). What a terrific series
I’d like to read that intro. Morales was so young.
isn’t to wake the mangog out today and wrath of odin isn’t until march 1?
I would love to see Tom Grindberg work again with Marvel on anything but a Conan title would be great! His art style is perfect for this kind of book! I would also see him doing interiors on an X-O Manowar or Eternal Warrior project at Valiant.

King Conan Chronicles Epic Collection: Phantoms and Phoenixes is the next Dark Horse Conan Epic
Thank you for this information! I prefer that than a regular trade paperback.
Hey guys I’m wondering if green lantern by Geoff Johns Omnibus is a good jumping on point. I haven’t read any green lantern before.
It certainly is. For sure.
Yeah, that's a great place to start. The Green Lantern: Rebirth mini basically reset the character and the mythos.
I'll probably get Moon Knight...maybe 🤔 I really want it in Omnibus 👍 I already Pre-ordered 9 Omni from DCBS in January (Killer Month) Hoping Thursday's Marvel May Solicitations Video will be Merciful on my Pre-orders lol 😅 Big 💜 and Big Thanks for Another Great Video...like Always 👍😁💜
Thank you sir.
Still waiting on the announcements for Jason Aaron’s Wolverine vol.1, Road to Mutant massacre, War of Kings, planet Hulk, X-Force vol.1. One day
Where can I get the department of truth ? Can't find it nowhere

I wonder what peoples feelings would be if they'd kept this idea up of his multiple personalities being other heroes... or villains, they could have added others as they went on?
I think the original plan was to have it be an ongoing series.
@@NearMintCondition Ah, would have been interesting to see what they did!
Im gonna need that Moon Knight book, looks really good
Yes more Dark Horse Conan. I hve read everything up until this except the couple of miniseries. Omar, i gotta ask one thing.

Actually the contents of the Strange MMMW seem to have been changed at the last minute, and now it contains only up to #129. That's why you never find the Eternity storyline you mentioned! 😅
That explains the page count.
Are you going to do an overview of tales from the outerverse hc by Mike Mignola?
I personally hated that Moon Knight series. I sold my original copies immediately on eBay. But then again this was written by Bendis. He finds something in a character's past and blows it way out of proportion. Wanda has a dark side? Well let's have her kill the Avengers. Bobby Drake had a homosexuality thought in one comic? Well let's make him come out. If Bendis wrote the FF, he would make Invisible Woman go Dark Phoenix within a few issues because Sue had that minor brush with that Malice personality way back when.
Never heard of Truth; how good is it?

Why does the title and timestamp read: thor epic collection: to wake the mangog, but the book is the wrath of Odin?
Thank you.
I've read, and own, 'Truth' and it's a brilliant fascinating and horrifying story, but the terrible art almost ruined it for me. I get what they were trying to do, but I think it failed miserably.

Did the kiddos read the Hulk or Spider-Man volume 2 mighty marvel masterworks?
They read Hulk.
