@@NearMintCondition you deserve it man, been following you for a few years now and seeing your channel glow up has been so inspiring. Keep on sharing content Omar 🤙🏼
Oh. My. Goodness. Over four thousand books! That's amazing. Honestly, I've been looking forward to this video for the whole year. I'm always humbled by the amount of items in personal collections, often getting ideas to add to my own. Thank you, everyone at NMC (extended family and friends included), for taking the time to film, edit and put this video up for us to view. This is truly amazing.
Dude, your epic collections and trade paperbacks make a super collection by themselves, without considering the omnis. Thanks for sharing with us, Omar
Been following you for about 6-7 years now and it’s so cool to see how much your channel has grown. You have a literal library in your home and it’s so incredible!
Can't tell you the rewatch value of your room toure, whenever I want to find a new book I haven't heard of before I rewatch these and always come up with something new❤
I'm only 23 minutes into this video and it is already, very easily, the greatest collection I have ever seen. Absolutely spectacular! Thank you for sharing.
Loved watching this video and reading the wonderful comments. It's nice to have a positive space online to share this hobby. Thanks for everything, Omar, great collection!
Beautiful collection of books! I love the library layout you put together, as you can display your books and easily organize and access them. Comic boxes are tough to access once they're stacked up. Congrats on an amazing collection!
I can appreciate now how complex your move was! I don’t have nearly as much room as you guys, enough for three Billy bookcases and two half size bookshelves but I love my collection. I file my DC Absolutes with the slipcase spine out. Thank you for the tour, great video work by Melanie!
Wooooo this is what ive been waiting for! Been dying for the whole second half of 2022 to see this collection in all its glory! lol but fr this is madness but in an amazingly cool way! One of the sickest book collections ive ever laid eyes on!
@@NearMintCondition Always got the time for you man, best book related content on UA-cam hands down. Seriously though I was looking forward to this video specifically all year! Thanks for all the hard work and effort you put in to give us gems like this and all the amazing reviews throughout the year! Happy holidays Omar :)
Man Omar, your channel is growing, I remember being hooked into your videos since the 2020 Graphic Novel Tour, I really appreciate the constant grind into Comics you've been doing for a long time.
I’ve been rewatching this over the past couple of days. I just want to thank you for all of the time and effort you put into your videos and knowledge you have of your collection. You are the reason I got back into comics! 🙏
I've watched this video twice... First congratulations on your move! I'm always Totally Blown Away by your Comic Book Room Tours! Awesome! Incredible! Inspiring! Keep up the great work Omar!👍👍👍🖖
Your book collection is incredible! It's a library of great books. And thanks for suggesting to Marvel to add the "Young Avenger Presents" to their Young Avenger Omnibus :)
I started the video early this morning and was surprised that I was the first like. I had to leave but plan to finish watching later today. An amazing collection. I just started last year buying omnibuses and I’m already at 90.
Big thumbs up for the Peanuts Collection. Also good to see you not using the bottom shelves where you can help it - good strategy in case there is ever a water leak
I'm new to the channel - and I've just started collecting X-men - but I love the collection! One day, I hope I've got a library half (or a quarter) as cool as this one! Also, I really appreciate the reading guides! It makes it so much easier to figure out what I need to read and when to read it. Keep up the awesome work, Omar!
Librarian and archivist here - You REALLY should use the Brodart jacket covers to protect those book jackets - current printing technology doesn't use light-fast inks and those jackets can help prevent color fading!!
@@NearMintCondition "Pluto" was my first Japanese Comic. I'm reading "Monster" right now. The last book is actually my last. I'm stuck between the wish to read it and not wanting it to end.
Nice to see you have a dedicated 2000 AD section now ;) That Dredd section sure has grown. (You need to get The Out HC! No 2000 AD collection is complete without it.) It was also fun to spot various books I’ve bought specifically because of this channel, a couple of highlights being Upgrade Soul (wonderful writing) and Golden Age, which I think are the most beautiful graphic novels I own. Thanks, as ever, for your channel and efforts, and Merry Christmas!
Amazing stuff. One problem with collecting is eventually running out of space. You must have adamantium reinforced bookshelves. I have an entire room full of my omnibus collection and I legitimately have to worry about the floorboards collapsing. Moving home also be a logistical impossibility for me now. Don't know how you manage this many- but respect from a fellow completist.
Nice! I can only imagine how long it would have taken to upack and sort all those boxes after your move! It litterally does look like my old local comic shop
Yo, your collection is amazing! I work at 2 comic book shops in Delaware. You've inspired me to make a comic book library of my own. I'm working on collecting trades. Mainly paperbacks tho. Hardcovers if I need a specific series. Keep up the good work and thank you for inspiring me to make my own comic book library!
Amazing collection. I love how you organize them and your library area. Spines are so important to the look on the shelves, I hate how marvel switched up the spine style on the silver age omnibus'. It bums be out seeing it in my collection. It is even more prominent in your collection. Had to drop omni collecting for the epics.
Wow! That Spectacular Spider-Man Omnibus vol 1 looks really skinny in this video. I’m glad I have my MMWs! I think there were a lot of complaints about the paper on that one.
@@NearMintCondition Yeah. I’ll be getting The Thing after the first of the year. I have avoided most of the thin paper omnis except for Silver Age Thor vol 1 and Hulk vol 1. All the other ones I either had already in omni form or I had the material in other formats. I remember when Absolute Carnage came out people complained about the paper on that one. I think that was the first Imak one. Looking back now, that one had pretty good paper.
I want my NO PRIZE, Omar! - Deathstroke Omnis are swapped (The New 52 should be before Rebirth, of course). - The Green Lantern Corps trades before the New 52 are also wrong (Tales of the Sinestro Corps should be right before Ring Quest, and War of the Green Lanterns Aftermath should be the last book there.) - Mike Mignola's books are placed weirdly. Abe Sapien and Witchfinder should be along the rest of the Hellboy Universe, Baltimore and Joe Golem should be together, and they're not part of Hellboy's universe at all.
@@NearMintCondition Hahaha, thanks. Just remembered a couple more: Lucifer Omnibus are inverted; and your Star Wars Epics are completely out of order, even if you were organizing them alphabetically.
My book collection is about eighty percent the size of Omar's, but only half of my collection consists of graphic novels, with my favorites being Batman, Green Arrow, EC, Turok, Adam Strange, Doom Patrol, Fantastic Four, Ant-Man, Doctor Strange, Love And Rockets, Coyote, Scout, and Echo. The rest consists mainly of books on Native American cultures, 1960s American history, music, poetry, and owls. I also have several thousand CDs and DVDs and several hundred action figures.
Hour and a half video. This is going to be so epic😍. Not a bad size, could be bigger though😉 what are you doing, buying every comic as a record in case of nuclear war or something😂🙂 I Have about 200-300 collected editions so far and 6 omnibus. Pales in comparison but trying to focus on a select few lines/characters and work my way up on my limited budget. 2023 goal is to branch out of the big 2 more and find my whale MOKF omnibus 4 for a decent price😬
Hey Omar! Awesome vid and collection as expected but I've wondered something, my keen eye spotted the original years Predator Marvel Omni on your shelf but it hasn't been released yet has it?
Gawwwddamn, This is Gawd Level... the comic gawdz have blessed you. Every year I think you hit your final form... im always proved wrong each year. Respect Lord Omar 🙏🏼
Absolute Transmetropolitan vol. 3 is my most-wanted book for a reprint. It's my favorite series of all time...but I'm simply not paying the insane aftermarket prices to get that final volume. 💀
Seeing this video reminded me I saw Stephens King’s the stand omnibus box set at a thrift book store for 250.00 dollars. To this day I’m still not sure if I should have bought it or not.
Man such a great collection, so many i books i have not read! I need like a mont stay over just reading in the basement. Maybe that should be a Patreon exclusive offer 😂
Been collecting for 3 years. I only have 63 books. (And as of Writing Waiting for 4 Books to Arrive in the mail for Christmas). I have a Goal to build it up to 1000+ books... Not even a 10th of the way there yet.
Literally a comic shop in the house 😂😂, probably the best collection I seen in UA-cam
Thank you so much. And I'm glad I married an English teacher to appreciate the library!
@Near Mint Condition that's a bonus! Your collection is astounding though.
I couldn't agree more!
😂😂😂😂😂
Have you read them all or are you just a UA-camr flexing
Near Mint Condition is the only content creator where I smash that like button before I even start the video. Man’s got a literal comic library 👏

Or stinky.
I still wonder why the movie-long room tour videos always feel like 25 minutes vids. Love that!!
HAHA thank you!

Same to you!
The best collection I have ever seen!
Thank for taking the time to watch and comment!
I do the same thing with the dust jackets when I’m reading that particular omnibus. Beautiful collection.
Thank you, my brother.
Literally have more comics in your collection then all of the stores in NSW Australia
I'm coming to Australia to open up a store.
Wow😳!!!!! This collection is totally MIND BLOWING🤯!!!! What kind of IKEA bookshelves are these🤔?!?
I really need to step up my game👍!!!!
Those are Kallax and Billy.

Alright I’m set for the next 92 minutes 🎉
Probably going to watch this video at least 5 times over 2023. Hope you've got the popcorn ready.🙂
I hope it was worth it.
I've been postponing watching this but finally decided to give a go :)) Indeed its like a library in the beginning. :)
Just amazing! Thank you for doing this! Love it 💪👏
Like how you organize the books
And fingers crossed for more Silver Surfer Omnis 👏👏
Fingers crossed indeed.

This is a good reference video for Omni's I'm looking for haha. Had to double check through you if there was a Spectacular Spider-Man Vol. 2
Good call!
the spine of the slipcase ALWAYS faces out, not the spine of the book. also, AMAZING VIDEO!
Thank you so much.

I nearly panicked when I saw the lack of Silver Age Cap Omnis, but I'm hoping you still have the Epics.
