This is a great series Got the trades initially and thoroughly enjoyed the series and it’s twists and turns I’ve also got the three ‘absolute’ issues but this looks minting I liked the artwork as felt it fit the story perfectly Vaughn is a tremendous writer The omnibus edition looks awesome
It’s definitely a classic comic story. Absolutely worth owning, especially in an oversized format. Glad you enjoyed the video, and thanks for watching!
It’s about how you’d imagine a 1400+ page book would hold up. It’s sewn binding, and there’s a bit of an eye hole, but it’s still very massive and hard to wield. It should hold up over time tho. DC may not have the best binding at times in terms of functionality, but they sure make them sturdy as hell
I mean, it is kinda tight. That’s quite obvious. At nearly 1500 pages, a book is going to be like that. But it is still very well constructed. Very sturdy. If this seems too big to wield properly for you, then there are other options to read this series. Three Absolutes, 5 OHCs, and 5 TPBs are also available if you are worried about this book. I can tell you from personal experience, I’ve re-read the series in this omnibus format, and I had no problem with wielding it or with stress on the book itself. It’s really up to you on how you want to collect this amazing series. Thanks for watching and commenting
Any compendium will be a huge chunk of a series collected in one book. Really thick book, like an omnibus. But it’ll be like a standard size trade paperback, just extra thick. An omnibus is oversized, bigger than the standard floppy or trade. And it’s a hardcover. They make trade “omnibi” that are also thicker than a regular trade, but not as thick as a compendium. But usually when people talk about omnis, they’re talking about the hardcover, oversized format
If you want this amazing series in OHC format, I’m thinking yes. The absolutes are really nice, but they are $125 a pop. The deluxe editions are sweet as well, but they are becoming harder to find. The omnibus is still available on certain sites for a discounted price. It’s really up to you.
Great review I’m convinced now I must buy this omnibus as an X-mas present to myself 👍🏼

Vaughn is a tremendous writer

One of the all-time best comics IMO. Vaughan is a mastermind in the art of storytelling. Glad you enjoyed the video, and thanks for watching!
Thanks for this! I'm thinking this will be my next pick up. Just finished Saga

Great review. I just picked it up today, looking foward to read it. Sorry for my english, regards from Argentina
Your English is perfect my friend. Glad you were able to get your own copy. Thanks for watching, and happy reading!
Thanks for the video. I might go with the absolutes. Doing that right now :)
Going on Hulu in September
How is the binding on this book? Is it too big to hold together? Do you think it’ll hold up over time?
It’s about how you’d imagine a 1400+ page book would hold up. It’s sewn binding, and there’s a bit of an eye hole, but it’s still very massive and hard to wield. It should hold up over time tho. DC may not have the best binding at times in terms of functionality, but they sure make them sturdy as hell
Idk I’m still not convinced with that binding looks really tight and I don’t want to put even more pressure when trying to read it.

Comics And Stuff So I bit the bullet and bought the Omni I’ve never had a problem with how big Omnis can get so I’m so excited to read it!

Awesome! Glad you were able to get your own copy. Happy reading
Does anyone know the difference between the Omnibus and the Compendium version 🤔??

@@comicsandstuff616 Awesome thanks for the info man!
Still can't decide between omni or absolute.
Both are gorgeous books. Really just gotta figure out what you want to pay for the collection honestly. Thanks for watching!
I own the series as the individual hard covers
I’m thinking about buying this but I’m worried it will be uncomfortable to read due to the weight and size. Should I just bite the bullet?

@@comicsandstuff616 alright I’ll probably get this then although is there a lot of gutter loss in this? If it’s not that bad then I’m good.
