Video

Thanks everyone for watching! If anyone is watching the replay… DROP A COMMENT! I always reply !

I received my copy of UFO Mushroom Invasion last Friday. Fun read. I hope LtL’s Smudge imprint continues releasing obscure manga. Thanks for the video. Cool channel too

Exile is amazing! I've also read Centralia digitally. I think the creator was only 18 when he started on the comic. I have to push up that on my to-buy list now, it's a great story . Both are Dutch comics btw. I hope LTL will continue to find more amazing stuff to publish. Moonray has been on my radar, so looking forward to your review/overview, maybe you push me over the edge to get it :) I don't like the idea of AI art at all, but at least they are fully transparent about it, then the reader can decide for themself. It would've been way worse if they tried to hide the fact in my opinion.

My list: 10. Master of Kung Fu 9. Uncanny X-Men vol. 3 8. Doctor Strange vol. 1 7. S.H.I.E.L.D. 6. Captain America by Ed Brubaker 5. Infinity Gauntlet 4. Daredevil by Miller Companion 3. Invaders 2. Kull The Savage 1. Yellow/Blue/Gray/White by Loeb and Sale

I agree- as a FF reader from issue 5 ( first I found back in Jr High) I think November 66 thru April 67 was the highest run of Stan and Jack (issues 45 thru 52) with Spider-Man 30 thru 33 at the same time the highlight of Ditko’s run.

The only two of those I own are the Miracleman and Silver Surfer omnis (in fact, I think the only other Marvel omnis that I own are the first two Stephen King Dark Tower collections). I'm much more of an indie reader, so it takes a lot to get me to read straight-up super hero books. I was pleasantly surprised with how genuine that love story is in the Slott/Allred (Allred was my main reason for picking it up) Silver Surfer. It was a sweet, wonderful book and I couldn't recommend it enough.

Awesome stuff brotha! Really hoping one day we get a SHIELD reprint 👏👏

You spend twenty minutes apologizing for words, images and intent of the creators. I just wrote a short story for my most recent book that took place on an American sub in the wake of the Pearl Harbor attack and pulled no punches in language or intent of the "Japanese" soldiers. The story would be false to not say "Japs" or "nips" to represent the feelings (and actions) of the times and the outrage of the cowardly, backstabbing slaughter of our Navy while the whole time professing peaceful dialogue through diplomacy in Washington, D.C. through politics. Call them what they were at that moment and quit apologizing for living in the now. Hell, you even referred to the U.S. as being militaristic and warlike! Grow a pair.

That's John Belushi. Jim is his brother.

You should try the Neil Gaiman library. 3 volumes with short stories

“There won’t be any mutants on this list”…choice number 2!!😂👏👍✌️

Nice collection 👌. Could you do a video about the Trigan Empire?

So you just find out about Lobo? That's what happens when you have Captain America in your profile.

No mutants... then your second one haha

TRICK QUESTION! You sell yours to get Taschen books

Very cool!

I hope you revisit this topic. I enjoyed this very much

Would you buy the Taschen version if it will come out?

Love the art but the dialogues are so weak. That is the reason I did not buy it. Daredevil is my favourite Marvel character. Daredevil belongs more to DC because of his darker and painful character.

I know it has the big red and white Marvel label on it, but I don't consider Miracleman a proper Marvel omnibus, but maybe that's just me. But it is amazing. Here's my top 10, at least this week. I also have the Taschen Spideys, so that would explain their absence. If Taschen ultimately produces an FF volume three, it will be the greatest collected edition in the history of collected editions. In no particular order: Slott/Allred SS - one of the greatest comics of the 21st century Doctor Strange vol One by Ditko and Lee - same for the 20th century The Golden Age of Simon & Kirby - the compete Captain America and every other pre-WWII S&K Marvel comics. Historically and artistically important, and just great comics. The stupidly titled The Thanos Wars: Infinity Origin - but it contains the complete Warlock and Captain Marvel 1970s cosmic runs by Jim Starlin. The Savage Sword of Conan vol One - Roy Thomas, Barry Windsor-Smith, and John Buscema Conan without the comics code. Crom. The Defenders, vol Two - Steve Gerber's complete 1970s batshit crazy Defenders run, the best Marvel Bronze Age team book. I said what I said. FF, vol Two - you covered this. Captain America by Kirby, 1970s run - I don't have a volume One, or it would surely make this list. Like you're holding out for a Dr. Strange Taschen, I am likewise holding out for a Cap. But this seventies Cap is bonkers in the best way possible, and it is truly amazing that The King had Cap runs in three different decades that are brilliant but completely different from each other. Man-Thing - I've always felt like Steve Gerber's weird-ass muck monster from the Nexus of All Realities is the true predecessor of Alan Moore's Swamp Thing run, even more so than that character's earlier run. The Book of Doom - a giant collection of Doctor Doom stories, what's not to love?

Sez there will be no mutants on the list. Second book is X men grand design. What a hypocrite!😂 Also title of the video should replace the word marvel to DC to make it ten times better!

Great list! I already own almost all of it except for the Piskor X-Men, the Slott Surfer and Miracleman. Like you I'm a Ben Grimm fan so looking forward to the first Marvel Two-In-One omni release...

It was an interesting choice to film this in the soace under your house, Taylor. You look enormous.

Going through my own read through of 60s Marvel. I'd struggled a bit in my first attempt, but something has really clicked this time. Up to early '65 with anticipation of the best is yet to come! Quick shout out to a separate podcast, Marvel by the Month. I particularly enjoy their beginning of episode recaps of USA events/news as they go month by month - fascinating to have that context. I have the two Taschen Spider-Man volumes - worth every single penny! I've read that Avengers vol 2 is likely the next to print - here's to Thor being soon on the docket 🤞

We need a room tour! Every video I find myself more and more curious about the room you record in. I’m never sure if you’re in a crawl space, room, or what lol

Nice list. I don't even own 10 Marvel omnibus so my favorites that I do are: Alias, All New Wolverine, Gwenpool, Runaways, Silver Surfer by Allred and Slott and Unbeatable Squirrel Girl.

Cool list. I'm making my way through the taschen fantastic four run which has been great.... and what a way to take it all in. I'm looking forward also to the taschen silver surfer and Thing omnibuses. I loved the Slott/Allred surfer. Cheers

I leafned to love and appreciate the older and more traditional art work

I’m not american so the term great american novel is new to me. But the way i understand it, i think Days of Sand by Aimee de Jongh could be one such title. It is a great story that has its roots in real historical events. The book teaches about a specific time period that, at least in Europe, we never learn in school. And the art is fantastic throughout the whole book.

Thanks for this. Are the stories any good. Which one would you recommend story wise

Nice! FF 2, Thor Simonson Iron Man Micheline/Layton Spidey Stern Uncanny Xmen 3 Captain America Brubaker Hulk Peter David 2 Planet Hulk Adam Warlock Savage Sword of Conan 1

Always nice to hear you give some love to Silver Age comics, brother. Would love it if Marvel reprinted the Lee/Kirby Fantastic Four run. Good video. Love hearing you wax poetic: about comics, about a thing you love, about something you're passionate about.

Surprised to not see Doctor Strange by Steve Ditko on here. Personally feel like that was Ditko's best work and an all time Marvel run. My personal top 10 would be: 1. Fantastic Four by Lee & Kirby Vol. 2 2. Daredevil by Miller & Janson 3. Uncanny X-Men Vol. 3 4. Thor by Simonson (even despite the recoloring) 5. Doctor Strange Vol. 1 6. X-Statix 7. Punisher MAX by Ennis Vol. 1 8. Alpha Flight by John Byrne 9. Moon Knight Vol. 1 10. Sensational She-Hulk by John Byrne Honorable mentions: Master of Kung Fu Vol. 4 (for the glorious Gene Day artwork), Fantastic Four by Hickman Vol. 1, Miracleman, Howard the Duck, Iron Man by Michelinie & Layton Vol. 1, Thor Vol. 1, Incredible Hulk by PAD Vol. 1, New X-Men by Morrison

1941 was one oif the worst things little Stevey ever put out. Bad script, bad fast-cutting, etc. Just awful. So do I now want a comic book adaption of it? Nope.

I have this comic and it's pretty edgy.

I’ve got to buy this. As 47yr old lifelong Lobo fan, this looks incredible. I’d love to see Lobo on the big screen but I think he best suited for the comics!

GREAT VIDEO! This totally deserved the omnibus treatment! So much fun and heart in these stories! Keep up the hard work! Been producing some Great content!

As a Japanese American There's nothing racist about this America was at war with the Japanese and when you're at war with people you call them bad names my God people are so soft comic book collectors are so soft Everything so racist gosh quit the white shame bro

Tempted to get a volume, but the binding looks really cheap and nasty. Is it glue or just string or something holding it together? Thanks for the video.

Ha! I have this comic and love the movie. And yeah, this comic is bonkers. Spielberg's letter got a genuine lol out of me. I don't see it as all that controversial. It was a different time. The bad guys were the bad guys and people apparently had thicker skins back when the movie was released.

The movie is partially based on the Ellwood shelling -Feb 23 1942 and the Battle of Los Angeles -Feb 24 1942

I bought a copy a few years ago off the Heavy Metal website. It was dirt chea(along with some others I bought). I actually saw the movie years ago and the graphic novel wasn't bad.The artwork was a bit zany but still an enjoyable read.

As far as racism goes, let's be honest----the Japanese were at war with America in the time period depicted

I owned this growing up and looked at it all the time. I bought another copy off of Ebay a few years back and it's a prized possession. Not because I needed it--I still have the original. I never knew Spielberg disassociated himself from it, but even back then I was surprised by how violent and sexual the comic was. Which appealed to me as a teenage boy.

🙄That's a laugh that Spielberg called contents of the book racist when there are scenes in his movies that are intentionally racist. Example? When he took over Kubrick's film "A I " starring that kid from The Sixth Sense why did he have every other robot looking like a normal human yet he had the robot played by Chris Rock ( which is even more surprising that Rock even took the part) made up as the stereotypical Sambo. How did anyone miss that direct in your face bigotry? Oh but Spielberg did The Color Purple is the defense yeah because he got criticism for having ET non minority populated and why did he pick a story set in the MAGA past to feature an all African American story instead of developing a present or futuristic fresh idea? That's why I LOL when he condemned racist content in the book.

When Stanley Kubrick and Spielberg first met, he told him that he liked 1941 -- but he should have done it as a drama...

Never heard of this channel before and I'm afraid of Libraries, but I sees Doop in the Thumbnail so I gotta' click.

More enjoyable than the movie. The movie suffers from not having a central character to form an emotional throughline. The waiter would have been the perfect candidate. The movie is fine, the comic is amazing.

When I was younger, 1941 (the movie) was on HBO all the time and I would sit and watch it every chance I could. I always saw it as a slapstick comedy making gun of jingoistic, racist American attitudes towards the Japanese, as well as war itself. Of course, I'll be the first to admit that I haven't seen it since my teenage years and I'm 57 now, so I'm not sure that I would have the same point of view about it now. I did pick up the comic adaptation maybe 25 years ago purely based on my nostalgic love of the movie, and their respective runs on titles like Swamp Thing, Maximortal, Brat Pack, Tyrant, etc., and although I remember being captivated by what Veitch and Bissette did on those pages, I don't remember being particularly impressed with the adaptation itself. I did see that Kayfabe interview you mentioned, so maybe I need to go back and reread it with my more current knowledge of the hardships they endured making it in mind.
