Video

I really do enjoy your videos for the things that I'd never think to look up. Superman II was the movie I was obsessed with as a kid, watching it on laserdisc multiple times a week. Knowing that Geoff Johns worked on it, makes me like him every more, and also made me add that book to my list. I'll pick it up this weekend with your code. Thanks!

quick answer? For me.

Love the spot and respect you have for the Tom Taylor run.

Finally taking a lead from manga - picked up a couple of these for my flight.

So I was streaming Mass Effect 2, just a relaxing chill stream. lol I have Justice League Dark Rebirth too. Im gonna try Comicbook Report style read, read multiple books at the same time. Plus that is chunky boy.

I bailed at Court of Owls. That’s one of the most mind-numbingly stupid stories I’ve ever read. See Batman punch a specific molar out of Nightwing’s face! Realize that Dick must’ve never gone to a dentist in his life! (Or they would’ve seen the secret sigil filling.) Watch Batman wander for days through a maze and take more damage than Wolverine! Realize his captors watched him that entire time, even when he took a dump and peed his tights! See the dumbest, most convoluted nursery rhyme ever invented, which has no scansion and blathers on forever! Realize it’s a ham-handed infodump that’s clunky instead of clever! That arc is so bad it makes my teeth hurt. And Grant Morrison? His stuff is cool and all, but for beginners? I don’t think you understood your own assignment. Batman Year One is the only book I saw that actually qualifies for the premise. Maybe another comes later, but I stopped at the Snyder rec.

None. I ain't reading anything written by a CIA agent, lmao

So unless this is a different copy, that story with the Superman robot isn't in that volume of Outsiders. That miniseries is called Titans/Young Justice: Graduation Day. It ends those two books and launches Teen Titans and Outsiders

I can proudly say that I have read all of these books.

Very helpful thank you

Where do you guys go to keep track of what books are going in and out of print (omnis, trades, etc.)? I have yet to find a good way to monitor those changes

Robin year one was my first comic i read and i love it

I love this episode and the batfamily! Especially Nightwing! But when are you gonna make a video about your "new hobby" were all curious!😁

Great video as always dude! Plus I really love the shirt you have on! 👍🏼💙

Oh man my favorite superhero is nightwing he’s been my favorite since I was a kid I can remember trying to dress up like him for Halloween and no one knew who he was, I had to do a lot of explaining that night, now is a different story and he’s a fan favorite for meny now. But this video made my day I can talk nightwing all day and I have to say you made some good suggestions I’m glad you mentioned the outsides by Judd winick but there’s a few others you should read that I know you’ll love, like robin and Batman by Jeff lemire or Peter j tomasi nightwing, and trust me once you read Judas contract you would love it just as much as endgame! The build up to that was just as epic .. well for me at least! And before Kyle Higgins left to write radiant black he did leave dc with a fun nightwing book called new order where nightwing takes away the superpowers of all the hero’s and then chaos happens I don’t really want to spoil it for you bust still check those out whenever you can and I promise you won’t regret it !… also if your a Batman beyond fan and a nightwing fan read Kyle Higgins run on Batman beyond, in it terry gets mad at Bruce and can’t trust him no more so he ends up meeting with dick for guidance and then dick Grayson takes over for Bruce as the man in the chair helping terry be better person and end up on some wild adventures it’s a great and fun read if interested!

Clicked on this to find out if yhe Nightwing comic I have is a good way to start and what do you know, it's number 1. 😊

DC and WB copying another idea to make a quick buck. How sad this property has become a money grab with no original effort put in.

can jordan also make these types of vids? it feels like you're the only one interested in the channel, it feels like the brave and the jake at the moment lol, he can make vids from his room and upload it, doesn't always have to be in the same room as you as you guys are busy and times may not match up to meet

Huge news! #vampirella

Perfect list. 2025 is truly the year of nightwing with all the reprints/prints we’re getting

Love your videos, man!

Phenomenal list bro ! Nightwing is an amazing character and have so many amazing stories. Super hyped for the Tom Taylor omnibus. My favorite superhero is HULK. 🤘🏾

I had Osamu Tezuka's Apollo in that format and it's great, and you can have a special edition at this format too, less paper easier for sell, the thing is keeping the paper mate, that's the best thing about comics the art looks so much better and easier to read

thanks for this video! Nightwing is my favorite character of all time

New Teen Titans is my favorite team book of all time! I’d recommend looking up a reading order and going all the way through with the name change to “The Titans” I personally recommend a good stopping point being the “who is wonder girl” arc because it’s the last good arc before it really degrades in quality afterward. You can also stop when the roster changes and none of the original members are left. In terms of pre and post-crisis stuff, NTT was the best selling title of DC by far during the crisis so it’s one of the only three series (Green Lantern and sorta Batman) to not get a continuity wipe. Lastly, for that reason there’s a shocking amount of Silver and Bronze Age references in the book even post crisis. Specifically all the stuff with the Bronze Age team member Lilith that I would not have known had I not read the Bronze Age Omni. That’s the end of my soapbox lol. I love love this series and hope DC gets around to reprinting volumes 2-4 and we get that volume 6!!!!!

You are an excellent speaker. Great vid.

I really looked for this video a few weeks ago and couldn’t find a good video, shout-out to Jake for making my life much easier definitely am convinced that I should buy the Morrison Batman omnis (at least the first two anyway) for that Batman and robin run after this video fr !

This list has everything!!

Bitewing is a perfect name! Hahahahaha

I can't wait for that Tom Taylor omni!

I like 90s art but I'not a big fan of scot McDaniels arf either .

I’ll just have to add these to my 100+ reading list 😭

Maybe it's time to finally read my Grayson Omni. Great video!

The Brave and the Boys , awesome video you deserve more views

I'll try to pick up the Compendium later this year, love the 90's!

Incredible timing as I was just telling a guy at work two days ago that I wanted to get into Nightwing.

OUTSIDERS MENTIONED 🙌🏻🙌🏻Peter J. Tomasi had an incredible short run in the late 2000s as well! Highly Recommended!!!

Let’s goooo 👏👏👏

I really need to read more Busiek Supes! Thanks for this showcase 💪💪

No Hawkman, Firestorm, or Zatanna? No Elongated Man, Plastic Man, or Atom?

Really like this idea by DC. I think Superman For all seasons would be a great candidate.

Still upset about the name and title of Court of Owls. Multiple Owls are called a Parliament.

You don't have The complete motion comic (12 episodes) dvd

Notice all the goat morrison...

So I got into reading/collecting via Omnibus format just over a year back. Initially I considered myself neutral over any Marvel/DC stance. Having picked up 50-55 Omnibus in that year, only 8 titles are DC - all Batman/Gotham Central. *I really feel DC are sleeping on the format with new readers* I would rush to buy a *John Byrne Man Of Steel Omnibus* if they released it rather than the 4 HC (#4 being out of stock) as i recall buying #1 of Superman Monthly (London Edition) back in 1988 as a young kid, recently finding out that Byrne was the author of that title, so for me it's got alot of nostalgia. As you point out with your breakdown, there's a lack of Suicide Squad omnibus (whilst looking at Marvel, they have five Thunderbolts omnibus?). Even the Tomasi Superman omnibus, the fact you've got Superman as a father will instantly push away many new casual readers who aren't familiar with Superman as a father or feel it's some later down the line story that's away from the core sagas of the character. Hopefully DC do put more omnibus out, I'm excited to grab Knightfall Vol 2 next year to add to Vol 1 (a set that were high on my list as I started collecting in 2024)

You really need to check out 'Superman: Exile.' But ... for that to really hit home, you need to read John Byrne's run -- particularly, the arc in the pocket universe where he encounters alt-universe versions of Superboy (i.e., younger version of himself) and the three Phantom Zone criminals. Otherwise, nothing in 'Exile' makes sense, emotionally speaking. And it's worth it. 'Exile' is one of the best Superman stories ever told.

They got me hooked line and sinker. I did not know that’s what these compact editions were for. About two months ago I was in a little bookstore, saw Court of Owls, saw it was ten bucks, bought it. Read it in one sitting. Fast forward to now and I’ve spent almost $500 on about 20 Batman graphic novels, subscription to KindleUnlimited, ComixologyUnlimited, just bought Joker compact lol. girlfriend says I have a problem and she might be right…

I haven’t gotten to Grant Morrison’s run of Batman yet but I am so excited to see Dick as Batman, that sounds like so much fun.

My favorite omnibus is The Batman Adventures although i just started out, it was great! Love your channel!
