Frank Miller reinvented both Daredevil and Batman, arguably at a time when each character needed them most. His vision still stands as the interpretation that most of us hold to this day, whether you're a fan of the characters from the comics or from TV/movies. That gives Miller GOAT status to me.
Omar, YOU THE MAN, thank you; i'm in my 60's your youthful enthusiasm makes me smile, these comics were my life as a youngster - and im collecting these omnibuses now....stay well, and thanks for your videos
Are all of marvels recent prints on thin paper? I only have a few marvel omnis and most are older first editionas, the exceptions are some.of the cap america brubaker reprints. I did notice thinner paper
@@benjamingonzalezjr9294 Depends. As Omar says it's case by case. He does advance overviews of all the Marvel omnis and does talk about the paper. And you can see when it bleeds through sometimes.
@@g.p.ryecroft trust me, it was me too! I ended finding one on eBay and paid a little over cover price for it before these were announced. I’m still glad I got it! Happy reading man
Love this run Omar. I ordered this through Organic Priced Books, I can’t wait to get it. My two favorite runs on Daredevil are Frank Miller & Klaus Janson and Ann Nocenti & John Romita Jr. Thank you for your videos Omar!
Thank you Omar for another wonderfull overview! Btw. the second printing was also printed at Donnelley printer in China. I can do some comparing pictures of the second and third printing, if someones is interested 😊
"THIS IS THE BOOK YOU MUST HAVE....." That line tells us all Omar! This is the greatest comic run of Daredevil that I can recall, and I was there for issue #1!
I'm thankful that I have the printing of this and the Companion with that unique red and black design, though not with the obis. I'm guessing that makes them the second printings. I'm just watching this because I love Omar's overviews and also want to encourage others to smash that "like" button!
Have an older printing but strongly recommend new readers to buy this omnibus. The greatest Daredevil story, in my opinion. And one of the best in Marvel's illustrious history.
Great overview Omar. Been a Daredevil fan most my life but I’ve never read the whole of the Miller run. Can’t wait to finally correct that with the Omnibus.
100% Perfect Overview of this book Omar. Worth a standing ovation. In my opinion this reprint is the one of most important one (Along with Iron Man Omni 1 with a 2 and more to come 😊) this year.
2:39 Heey, giving the chat props from last saturday's live stream, gotta love it xD i have the original printing, got it for a steal, loved the design on those books from millers run, weird that they changed it so drasticly, but it makes those red/black books a tad more special IMO
I would suggest you not listen too much to those that comment. Comic book fans can be overly nerdy, and need to learn to relax when having personal problem with experiencing a review given by someone who is doing so, simply because of his love of the art! You are almost always Spot-On with your reviews, and have granted me ENORMOUS INSITE into my personal process of which Oversized collection I need to Buy, or want to watch out for. THANK YOU OMAR!!!!!!! There's a reason why you have 79K followers! Now get us the Exiles Omni. Everyone Loves a kooky Alternate Reality Story: one is gonna win the Oscars!
Missed out on the first printing sadly. This new printing will be on it's way soon. Happy Days 😄 Great Overview Omar, hopefully we can get those missing issues voted in and reprinted.
Nice video! I like the comparison segment, particularly. A good chunk of the extra material is reprinted from Fantagraphics' myriad publications. Primarily The Daredevil Chronicles (which is where the John Byrne art comes from) and The Comics Journal (a magazine by Gary Groth, Fantagraphics Publisher, which was much more popular in the 1980s when it didn't have much competition in the marketplace, but was also not the most popular regular comics publication). Fantagraphics is also known for having published the two-volume X-Men Chronicles (I and II) by Peter Sanderson (of later OHOTMU fame), from around the time Daredevil was becoming more popular and the X-Men were still on the rise, which had extensive interviews with Chris Claremont, Terry Austin, John Byrne and Dave Cockrum. It remains one of the best pieces of history on the "New" X-men from 1976 to 1982. Most of us had always wished that Sanderson would have done a similar book for Daredevil, but he did conduct the interview with Miller & Janson which is included in this volume (also for Fantagraphics, but for the aforementioned "Daredevil Chronicles", which is from a series of index-type books on Marvel comics), but it is a much, much shorter (and, therefore, shallower) dive into the creation of these comics.
I had Born Again sitting in my To-Read collection for the longest time and when Echo came out I decided now was the best time to check it out and damn, it blew me away. Seriously one of the best comics I’ve ever read, which made me wanna seek out this book which gave me so much trouble cause I really couldn’t find it with the DM cover with Elektra and Bullseye which looked top tier. I got lucky a few days ago finding it in a comic store in Boston for cover price but I’m really digging Frank Miller’s Daredevil, I haven’t finished it yet but I will definitely get the companion when that reprint comes out.
Nice overview. I think this omni actually had two previous reprints (if the internet is to be believed) and I have the most recent prior. I actually would prefer the standard cover on the new release for the classic artwork if I had waited, but glad to had been able to find and read it a few year ago. And as much fun as I had with this one, I thought the Companion was the better volume. This volume may have redefined the character for all future iterations, but I felt Born Again & Man Without Fear mastered him. Hopefully those that missed out will get a reprint of that volume in the next year or so. I know everyone is hoping for an Ann Nocenti collection or two, and I'm sure that would be great, but my own selfish nature would love to see the content of the last two Epic Collections (Purgatory & Paradise and Widow's Kiss) as, outside of The Man Without Fear miniseries, I first started reading Daredevil's ongoing run with issue #353 when Karl Kesel began.
I’ve got the second printing and was waiting for this video to see if they updated the spine. If they had I would have upgraded. Great book though and I’m glad people will have a chance to pick it up!
Loved the rollercoaster fight, too, apart from recoloring the outlines of Daredevil's after images to pink. The original newsprint issues had them black, and the new pink ones just seem a bit garish to my eye.
Camilo, Me too, but I read a few issues FORTY years ago when they first came out. But the ones I read are seared into my memory, which is a testimony to the impact this run had on many of us then, now, and ever shall be, world without end, amen?
Great overview, Omar! I am very bummed the letters pages aren't included. I mean, couldn't they toss a few onto those blank red pages between issues? I bought a few Miller issues as a high-school-aged fan, but they were snapped up quickly and overpriced immediately. New issues would often be in the back-issue bins for double cover price unless you had Daredevil on reserve. It was a pre-speculator's market circa 1981-82. This is my first and long-overdue opportunity to read the full run and I'm eager to enjoy it. PS: As of today, I still think of the Kingpin as a Spidey villain (and the Kingpin was a serious threat in Spidey 50 through about 80), but I may admit afterwards that Miller successfully flipped him into a Daredevil foe. DD fought Electro in DD #2 and the Ox in 15 and 86, so there's a precedent of Daredevil taking on the Wallcrawler's old sparring partners. Miller clearly loved Spiderman, and my to-date favorite Miller/Janson-illustrated story is Amazing Spiderman Annual #15's "Spiderman, Threat or Menace?"
Excellent review of a Daredevil classic. Really enjoy how you compare these new prints with the originals. Remember picking up these issues from the newsagents when I was a kid and WOW!!! This is my era of comics and Daredevil still holds a very special place in my heart. The absolute pinnacle of comic storytelling ❤️🔥🔥❤️
It's almost impossible to overstate Miller's contribution and transformation of DD. He single handedly uplifted him from his C-list limbo to an urban crime fighting ninja with a deep moral motivation to fight injustice in and out of costume. I'm just curious why Marvel didn't use the newly restored Masterwork scans for this 3rd printing. Would've been nice to see a P2P comparison. Sad to see how Marvel is progressively skimping on paper quality to make a profit though I'm glad they didn't raise the price to $125. Will there still be a 3rd cover (2nd DM variant) for this new printing?
I am so excited that I get a second chance in buying this since I missed it. But I will definitely buy it in February along with Wolverine volume 3 Jim Lee cover. I had a setback last year and I wasn't able to preorder in time. My finances are not as great as I want it to be but I will sacrifice to buy it. This is worth buying I am excited about this year of Omnis and can't wait for more in future runs.💯💯💯🙏🏽
Hi Omar,great video keep them coming, also Frank Miller is a Excellent but superb Writer and Artist who reinvented both Daredevil and Batman when both heroes needed the most, also his art on both Daredevil and Batman are Remarkable, also incredible Overview of The New Printing Of The Daredevil by Frank Miller Omnibus Volume 1 Hardcover, also the Hardcover was Awesome, I'm looking forward to pre-ordering the New Printing Of The Daredevil By Frank Miller Omnibus Volume 1 Hardcover later this Year, also thank you for sharing Omar keep up the good work stay safe stay healthy out there, have a good day and much love.🙂💪🟢🌎🦸🏋️🇺🇲😃❤️😊
Issues number 191 is my favorite issue. “Roulette” takes a different approach on gun control. Where Peter David’s take on gun control in young justice 15 seems kinda like propaganda and nonsensical way by only blaming the guns and mocking anyone who even mentioned violence in our media influencing shootings, Millers take actually blames the violence in our media and our society for it instead of blaming just guns.
With the various tweaks Marvel have been doing to the spine designs I kinda wish they had kept the Marvel Omnibus logo at the top. Great that this book is back in print!
Only William Shatner could do that intro quote justice. I am older than Marvel comics and I read Daredevil initially as a reprint in the UK, and it was just OK, then didn't read it for a number of years, and then for some reason I picked up one of the early issues of Miller's run and was hooked, for sure buying this, please reprint the companion Marvel.
I wasn't planning on buying this but you might have changed my mind Omar. Have never read the whole run, only part of it at the start. Seeing it here again you've reminded me how good those early issues were that I did see.
I was certain the spine would get changed to get in line with the rest of the Marvel Omnis. That makes me happy, cause I already have the book and the spine always bugged me. Nice to know it's still F'ed.
Yes, I can't express enough how completely ground-breaking and suspenseful the Elektra stories were when they were first coming out month to month. I was in boarding school and read each issue on the bus back from town on Saturdays. By the time we pulled into campus my heart was already racing and I couldn't wait to find out what would happen next. The saga also influenced my decision to study Japanese in collage and move to Japan in the mid-80s.
My friend and I would race to to general store in order to make sure to get the latest issue of the Frank Miller DD run. it was a glorious time to be a 5th grader. My brother pulled DD 168 as a grab bag gift, still has that issue!
I think second printing Is the best choice, really good paper (at least better than the newest printing) and a really good binding and layoff, just like the New printing
Thanks for the video Omar. Been really looking forward to this reprint as couldn’t find a decent priced earlier copy. Now I can sell all my original issues!!! Loved this at the time when it was being published - groundbreaking creativity and easy to take for granted 30 years on. Really looking forward to revisiting this run but that size differential is a bit concerning
Waiting for the epics for this run but with talk of this being the definitive run, Omar it would be cool to see your top 5 runs for various Marvel and DC characters.
Never noticed the price before on the front of these books (on the Marvel logo) Maybe it's just on certain omnis? I pre-ordered this one. I didn't bother with the last printing as I had the trades already. But they're getting a bit battered now so time for an upgrade.
I am in the middle of this Omni for the first time. At first I didn’t like it. I thought “this is franks millers defining run on a dark and gritty daredevil??” I was not biding with it it felt a little campy and like the silver age comics run. I believe I am on issue 173, the issue called “lady killer” or something like that. When Melvin potter is framed. Then I started to feel the book. That is where I stopped and will continue soon!! I hope it keeps that level of darkness and maturity.
It was books like this one that made me not want to buy omnies. I hate that they leave issues out in the middle because it wasn't written or drawn by the names author. I avoid these whenever I can and prefer to buy unbroken series no matter who wrote or drew.
Ed, I agree. I hate patchwork books with missing puzzle pieces. If Marvel ever publishes that title chronologically, fans will have to double dip to get the missing issues. And I'm that fan: I bought Starlin's Warlock gallery edition, and will now be buying the Warlock omni. Well, at least I have that beautiful Starlin art super-sized, but still, I hate duplicating books when shelf space is at a premium.
I hate when people think Kingpin was a nobody before Miller's DD. Read Amazing Spider-man # 50-52, 59-61, 68-70, 83-85, 163-184 and 197! That's a Hell of a lot of appearances and he was extremely formidable- not just a guy sitting behind a desk hiring assassins most of the time
Reading it for the first time. I have the standard edition cover preordered. A quick question - underneath the dust jacket, would the same artwork be identical for both the direct market and standard edition covers?
What's the paper stock like in comparison to other Imak-printed omnibuses? I have Phoenix Omnibus Vol. 1 and would like to know how the paper in this DD Omni compares to Phoenix's?
Wasn't there 4 printings? I remember the 1st is yours, thick pages. 2nd was reprinted with 99.99 dollar price. 3rd they actually upped the price to 125. (Same dust jacket and board as the 2nd print) And now, the 4th printing lowered the price to 100 again. ** edited 2nd printing cover from 100 to 99.99
Joseph, I'm guessing four omnibi? The first DD omni boasts 1-41, the second 42-74. I would hope a third and fourth omni--should they ever be--could cram in a ton of issues since the page count of comics in the '70s dipped as low as 17 pages. I fear omnis are unlikely for the mediocre '70's DD, but the Epics are filling the gaps with Epic #6 Watch Out for Bullseye coming out in March '23. That takes it up to DD 132, so one Epic shy of Miller's run.
Omar's mention of the colors made me question one thing: will the Epics use the Masterworks scans of the original colors? Or will they use these particular scans with the sort of "modernized" and touched up colors? Same goes for the Walter Simonson Thor run for when that gets collected in the Epics. Does the Spider-Man Kraven's Last Hunt Epic use the classic colors? Or the touched up ones? If that one uses the classic colors, will the other ones follow suit?
Man, really bummed out about the spine. When I saw the bullseye elektra dm var, I thought this would have the regular marvel omnibus spine. Not a fan of the different lay-out
Omar’s emotional investment into his omnibus overviews has cost me a lot of money.
Thank you and I hope it hasn't broke you!
@@NearMintCondition haha I’m glad at least that Omnis have great resale value

Do not miss out on this perfect run of Daredevil because of "thin paper" It is a book that belongs in everyone's library.
No need to use quotations with "thin paper". The paper is thin. It's not even a question.

I was in boarding school and read each issue on the bus back from town on Saturdays. By the time we pulled into campus my heart was already racing and I couldn't wait to find out what would happen next. The saga also influenced my decision to study Japanese in collage and move to Japan in the mid-80s.
So glad they didn't mess with the
spine and it would be look good with Companion omnibus.
Maybe the Ditko fill-in issue could be included in "Miscellaneous Marvel by Steve Ditko" omnibus someday down the line.
My friend and I would race to to general store in order to make sure to get the latest issue of the Frank Miller DD run. it was a glorious time to be a 5th grader. My brother pulled DD 168 as a grab bag gift, still has that issue!
This was definitely a pickup for me. Do you think they'll ever reprint that companion omnibus too with man of fear and born again?
I think second printing Is the best choice, really good paper (at least better than the newest printing) and a really good binding and layoff, just like the New printing
Love this run so much. It would be sooo awesome if a certain uncanny gentleman would send me that extra copy....
Where you are located, brother?
@@NearMintCondition Belleview Fl. The smallest of small towns lol
Shoot me an email, brother.
Finally!
Now if we can only get a Denny O’Neil Daredevil Omni that bridges the gap between the end of Millers run and Born Again.
Great idea - and we'd get some Mazzucchelli work too. He did art for several issues before Born Again.
@@Brian_Boru He did. DD 221 is one of my single favorite comics issues of all time thanks to his art.
Thanks for the video Omar. Been really looking forward to this reprint as couldn’t find a decent priced earlier copy. Now I can sell all my original issues!!! Loved this at the time when it was being published - groundbreaking creativity and easy to take for granted 30 years on. Really looking forward to revisiting this run but that size differential is a bit concerning
Waiting for the epics for this run but with talk of this being the definitive run, Omar it would be cool to see your top 5 runs for various Marvel and DC characters.
Never noticed the price before on the front of these books (on the Marvel logo) Maybe it's just on certain omnis? I pre-ordered this one. I didn't bother with the last printing as I had the trades already. But they're getting a bit battered now so time for an upgrade.
I am in the middle of this Omni for the first time. At first I didn’t like it. I thought “this is franks millers defining run on a dark and gritty daredevil??” I was not biding with it it felt a little campy and like the silver age comics run. I believe I am on issue 173, the issue called “lady killer” or something like that. When Melvin potter is framed. Then I started to feel the book. That is where I stopped and will continue soon!! I hope it keeps that level of darkness and maturity.
I've been wanting to read this for a long time. Well, looks like my wallet just got a bit lighter.
Why is the old printing so much thicker? The contents is exactly the same right?
Older printings used way thicker pages, lately Marvel omnis have had very thin pages.
Look at the binding comparison he does. That first printing is horribly built.
Because the paper is very very thin …
@@TheRafom74 and the binding. Look at the comparison.
I have the older printing) signed by Miller and Janson) so I'm good.
Ive got the frank miller dare devil box set, is there anything in this omni that isnt included in that box set?
It was books like this one that made me not want to buy omnies. I hate that they leave issues out in the middle because it wasn't written or drawn by the names author. I avoid these whenever I can and prefer to buy unbroken series no matter who wrote or drew.
Ed, I agree. I hate patchwork books with missing puzzle pieces. If Marvel ever publishes that title chronologically, fans will have to double dip to get the missing issues. And I'm that fan: I bought Starlin's Warlock gallery edition, and will now be buying the Warlock omni. Well, at least I have that beautiful Starlin art super-sized, but still, I hate duplicating books when shelf space is at a premium.
I hate when people think Kingpin was a nobody before Miller's DD. Read Amazing Spider-man # 50-52, 59-61, 68-70, 83-85, 163-184 and 197! That's a Hell of a lot of appearances and he was extremely formidable- not just a guy sitting behind a desk hiring assassins most of the time
We did. And still not the spotlight he got in DD.
I only read Daredevil from Marvel. So dear Marvel we need (ok I need:) ) the 2nd Daredevil Omni by Brubaker.
Does the Frank Miller companion omnibus contain the Born Again story?
Reading it for the first time. I have the standard edition cover preordered. A quick question - underneath the dust jacket, would the same artwork be identical for both the direct market and standard edition covers?
Paid a pretty penny for the 2nd printing on eBay last year, but I love the red cover.
What's the paper stock like in comparison to other Imak-printed omnibuses? I have Phoenix Omnibus Vol. 1 and would like to know how the paper in this DD Omni compares to Phoenix's?
It is pretty bad sadly. It is incredibly thin. I was shocked.
Wasn't there 4 printings?
I remember the 1st is yours, thick pages.
2nd was reprinted with 99.99 dollar price.
3rd they actually upped the price to 125. (Same dust jacket and board as the 2nd print)
And now, the 4th printing lowered the price to 100 again.
** edited 2nd printing cover from 100 to 99.99
Why didn’t they fix the spine?! (Im still getting it)
Yeah, I really wish they used the spine of the first print DM cover, at least for the new DM printing
Already on my list from OPB! But question, how many Omnis would it take to get from Silver Age Daredevil 1 to this Omni?
Joseph, I'm guessing four omnibi? The first DD omni boasts 1-41, the second 42-74. I would hope a third and fourth omni--should they ever be--could cram in a ton of issues since the page count of comics in the '70s dipped as low as 17 pages. I fear omnis are unlikely for the mediocre '70's DD, but the Epics are filling the gaps with Epic #6 Watch Out for Bullseye coming out in March '23. That takes it up to DD 132, so one Epic shy of Miller's run.
Omar, I have omnibuses that I’ve had for at least a year with the plastic still in tact? Am I potentially ruining the book by not cracking it?
I always open mine up just because it might have misprints.
Omar's mention of the colors made me question one thing: will the Epics use the Masterworks scans of the original colors? Or will they use these particular scans with the sort of "modernized" and touched up colors? Same goes for the Walter Simonson Thor run for when that gets collected in the Epics. Does the Spider-Man Kraven's Last Hunt Epic use the classic colors? Or the touched up ones? If that one uses the classic colors, will the other ones follow suit?
Just cancelled my order. I really don't like the bleed through from the other side of the page.
This video is only 10 months old and it seems this 3rd printing is already sold out and very expensive, wonder when 4th printing will come out?
Man, really bummed out about the spine. When I saw the bullseye elektra dm var, I thought this would have the regular marvel omnibus spine. Not a fan of the different lay-out
I'm really upset the spine wasn't updated. It's going to stick out like a sore thumb.
