All Star Batman and Robin was an absolute (pun intended) nightmare. I didn't believe all the bad reviews so I was excited to read it, but I ended up barely making it through. On another note, great video!
I just started getting into comics.But only digital comics,because I live in Eastern Europe and the printed ones are really expensive.Anyway,you have a great channel.
Yes, DC is destroying my OCD mind with their releases... Why not the complete New52 Justice League in omnis? Or Dark Nights: Metal in one format instead of one OHC, two standard HC, and some trades? I live in a comic book Purgatory, Jess :-D
I`m probably the only fan who enjoyed All Star Batman but that`s probably because I took it as a parody. The art was great but the story was seemly written by Frank when he was drunk. But I like anything Jim Lee draws even Divine Right. Great common sense video .Enjoyed it as always.
Late reply I know, I also have no clue as to ausie comic conditions but in general its good to have some knowledge of the base comic you wish to buy and then look for extra features. The big print is nice but I have atleast 2 absolutes I got for cheap that I have even yet to read because I decided to collect them without prior knowledge. Some books are just better in any hardcover format.
Hey Omnidog, thanks for all of your great content! I want to share my experience with Absolute Superman Batman with you. I bought it for $38 last September when instocktrades had a Damages sale. Fun read, lovely art, nice sketchbook at the end. But as I'm flipping through it right now, I can hear the spine cracking ominously, and looking closely, I can see the little bundles of paper separating from the spine. The binding is still sewn, so it's not falling apart, but if I paid $100 for this I'd be pissed.
Had the same issue with mine, followed Gabe infinity tips on repairing that awful miles morales omnibus and it’s been ok since. Can’t understand how they can mess up the binding on absolutes though, they cost enough!!!
Great video Jess! I'm going to pick up the Batman/Superman absolute when my LCS has their annual sale next month. I pulled the trigger on the Johns/Lee Justice league absolute last month and love it. The story is great the art is awesome. Sure they will probably omnibus it but it's just a nice read. Even my youngest son peered over my shoulder to check it out while I and then wanted to know all about the story. (he couldn't understand why they were all arguing)
yeah you make a good point, the story is great and the art is fantastic! I really love Johns' JL run, the whole thing was really ground breaking I thought! Thanks for watching!!
I think they should have done the 'Joker' batman new 52 books as the Absolute for batman, at least that way it would contain all the tie-in issues. That way it would be a slightly different read to the omnibus of mainly just batman issues. I plan on keeping my Joker hardbacks even when I get the snyder Omni's.
Great video as always. I do own Absolute All-Star Batman and Robin but is because of Jim Lee's art as I also own Wild.C.A.T.s and Hush Absolutes as you can see I'm a huge Jim Lee fan. LoL
As always fantastic video Omnidog. I have a different opinion regarding the Court of Owls run though. Greg Capullo's art is so amazing i am happy i own this in absolute. If there was an even bigger format i would get it. That being said i pre-ordered the omnibus too haha.
I will argue the merits of All Star Batman and Robin all day long and how its actually a good (albeit overly heavy handed) exploration about why Batman needs a Robin. But it was never finished and plagued by crazy delays so it isnt super obvious to those who read it, especially if you go into it already having a preconceived notion that it will be bad.
Thanks for the video omnidog😀. Some great books there. The ones that most interest me are the preacher absolutes. Never read the story but I've had my eye on the books for ages. The absolutes look gorgeous and I'm not a fan of the dull paper stock that is used in the hc's so I'll definitely be buying those. Looking forward to the third instalment. Peace and love ✌️😎.
Omnidog, quick question. Will the Preacher absolutes go out of print? I want to buy the absolutes and have noticed that the prices have shot up on Amazon.
Love your channel. In India, I can't really buy floppies, so I am a trade waiter until the Omnibus bug hit me hard, and I blame/thank you for enabling me. I know this video is about absolutes, but I just wanted to appreciate how much I enjoy your content, your style, your obvious passion for comics. Also, is there any chance you can do a video on the Omnibi with the best extras?
Thank you for the nice compliments! I will give that some thought, omnibus with the best extras... that's a good idea for a show! I will think about that all day today!!
do you want to keep the "extras" video to just omnibus' or do you want to include things like Absolutes and Image oversized books? Keeping it to omni's is fine with me, I just wanted to make sure!
I completely disagree on Absolute The Court of Owls and The Long Halloween. So what if DC never followed up with another snyder/capullo absolute? The court of owls stands perfectly fine on its own. Even referring to the rest of that run as follow ups is wrong. It's one storyline. Period. Same goes for the absolute Long Halloween. Don't lose any sleep for not having absolute Dark Victory. Absolute is the way to go for Long Halloween.
I love Omnidog's videos! Not only for knowing which formats to get, but what material to get.
Thanks Jo, I really appreciate it!
Always in a good mood after watching your stuff. Thank you.
WOW, this puts ME in a good mood, thank you so much!!

On another note, great video!
Thank you! And- sorry for your loss...of valuable time and brain usage!
Didn't know about the Loeb&Sale Omnibus. This saved me a considerable amount of money 😅 You've earned a new loyal subscriber!
Thank you! Glad to have you on board!!
Yes😊
Got the absolute Superman for tomorrow for like 12$ new from ollies. Love it.
Awesome!!
I love identity crisis
I just started getting into comics.But only digital comics,because I live in Eastern Europe and the printed ones are really expensive.Anyway,you have a great channel.
thank you for the compliment!
Loved what you had to say about "All-Star Batman & Robin"!
Haha..
Would you be getting the Superman/ Batman omnibus, now that it's out?
yes, I got it as I only had the trades and only 3 of them at that!
Yes, DC is destroying my OCD mind with their releases... Why not the complete New52 Justice League in omnis? Or Dark Nights: Metal in one format instead of one OHC, two standard HC, and some trades? I live in a comic book Purgatory, Jess :-D
we BOTH live there Psycho!!!
I've had trouble with all my vertigo absolutes for Y the Last Man and Transmetropolitan with their spines falling apart during their first reads.
oh no, that's not good....
All Star Batman is fantastic. You need to read it as a parody. Art is god tier love it

hahaha that's a great one. Thank you for your support!!
Absolutes are so damn expensive in Australia, so this is helpful to know whether or not it would actually be worth the money. Thanks for the videos

All Star Batman & Robin is a guilty pleasure for me. It's so bad that's good. I'm only getting the absolute edition because of Jim Lee's artwork.

oh man, this doesn't sound good at all!! Maybe I should try and get it Damaged too...

@@jameshutchinson9473 Thanks I found that video and will give it a try!

Nothing wrong with that Omnipool, he's great!!
The way he spoke about For Tomorrow, seems like he wasn't aware of Volume 2.
Thanks for these 2 videos, perfect timing as my girlfriend now ordered the first preacher absolute edition! :D
oh great! hope you enjoy it!
Orphaned Absolutes are heartbreaking, all right.
As always fantastic video Omnidog. I have a different opinion regarding the Court of Owls run though. Greg Capullo's art is so amazing i am happy i own this in absolute. If there was an even bigger format i would get it. That being said i pre-ordered the omnibus too haha.
ah ok, good stuff!
Dark victory is my favourite Batman story, I’ll get the absolute
How much
Great video as always my friend, it's a real pity about DC New 52 printings of Absolute, I would have loved the rest of Snyder's Batman or John's JL
thank you! And I agree with you, there is so much stuff from N52 they could put in one nice consistent collected format!

Preacher is great, but it's quite brutal. Just to warn you. I love the book but it's not for everyone lol.
Agreed
@@OmnidogsVaultfor sure😊😊
Omnidog, quick question. Will the Preacher absolutes go out of print? I want to buy the absolutes and have noticed that the prices have shot up on Amazon.
where do you live? Absolute Preacher is in plentiful supply here in the US. Eventually it will go OOP but right now it seems fine...
Do you have any suggestions for Shazam? What stories to read at all?
so sorry Danny, I don't follow Shazam. I will ask some of my friends for recommendations for you
Omnidog's Vault Thanks very much appreciate the reply. Keep up the good videos!
Hey man, just wanted to ask you if buying the infinite crisis Absolute edition is worth
Only if you love the art!
I know this isnt absolute edition related but what are your thoughts on the y the last man omnibus omnidog?
for me personally, it's too big. I'm sticking with the OHC's. But for the price it's a great deal. It's certainly a great. read!!

@@anirbanb82 ok! I'm going with omni's to start! I'm giving you credit for the idea, I apologize if I mispronounce your name!
I really want darkvictory
I bought absolute superman for tomorrow recently, but I got it cheeeap. No regrets.
Cheers, OD
excellent shirt
thank you!!
Sweet video 💯🔥
Thanks for all your support JS!!

you are entitled to your opinion and that's fine. Your tone is very confrontational and that is unnecessary.
@@OmnidogsVault Sorry about that :)
Wladimir Bassett-Torres no worries! I invite all viewpoints!
Identity crisis is the worst because ray palmer disappeared after😡
Everyone should own All Star Batman & Robin 😂 just for the shiggles
