Rest in peace George pérez
FYI Omar your reviews have encouraged me to buy 11 OMnibuses this year....so far LOL Love the reviews
Thank you for the kind words. And sorry to the wallet.
I love this Wonder Woman omnibus overview! Remembering the phenomenal and extremely talented George Perez! ❤
I never really got when people complained about heavy reading. It’s not just an art book, it’s a story with amazing Perez art in it. 👌🏻
I know, it makes no sense to me. I like a comic that has more text in it.
I prefer older comics so I'm used to text-heavy comics, but I do think there are times when some comics becomes verbose beyond tolerance and doesn't add to the story. Comics are sequential story-telling, so the words should supplement the artwork, not override them.
Yes but there is a bad way to do it, the Phil Jimenez omnibus is just so damn boring lol
I don't know about you, but for me, it all depends.
Text-heavy narration in stories that are meant to be inspired by mythology or traditional storytelling? Excellent. This WW run is one example, others include Rorschach's journal from Watchmen, Alec Holland's internal monologues from Moore's Swamp Thing, and the bombastic world-building narration in Walt Simonson's Thor.
Text-heavy dialogue in stories with characters narrating everything they're doing and thinking like the art doesn't even exist? Stupid. Examples of this include Jim Starlin's senseless babble in the more recent Infinity stories and Stan Lee's earliest work on X-Men.
Comics are a synthesis of art and literature. Comics without words is just a picture book for adults.
Good writing can save bad art, but good art can't save bad writing,, in my opiinion. Some of my favourite comics are word heavy: Killraven: War of the WORLDS AND Don McGegor's Black Panther in Jungle Action are just two examples.
Perez's Wonder Woman is up there with those books. I consider Perez's run the best ever iteration of WW.
I like how George Perez made Wonder Woman look somewhat Latina with the big curly hair. He did something similar with Starfire, which looks like a famous Puertorrican vedette (Iris Chacon). George has Puertorrican parents so the influence is there. Rest in power George!!
I wasn't familiar with Iris Chacón but I just looked her up and you're totally right. That's really cool, thanks for the info.
The man wanted a woman with curves!!!
I remember seeing the first issue and starting a collection of what ended up being one of my favourite collections, and to this day favourite DC characters. She has had changes and retellings since, but I still think this is my preferred one. I was a kid that bought the comic initially for eye candy. The story and letters pages immediately made me feel ashamed of objectifying her, and women in general - a vital lesson for a youth which I learned and continue to learn to this day. I was a tough guy, yet she brought tears to my eyes when she was betrayed and faced a her first lies as a naïve woman new to our World. I thoroughly enjoyed her journey of enlightenment as she learned to adapt without compromising her values. She represents to me what we could achieve if we live by a code of honesty, love and respect; plus show the courage to defend them.
I definitely need to pick this up. George Perez meant a lot to me growing up and while I’ve read his stuff on Avengers and Teen Titans I never checked out his WW. Now is a good time. RIP George. Thank you for your work. You won’t be forgotten.
Do you think that we will ever get a Wonder Woman by John Byrne omnibus collection?
Good question
I missed this when it came out in 2015. I already picked this one up. RIP George Perez.
Brought this as joint Christmas present for myself😄 Got this book for like 70% off from a price glitch from Speedy hen. Been one of my most wanted, never read this era of WW. So excited.😁
Not really a omnibus buyer but my 4th DC omnibus and 6th overall in my collection.👍
So happy to see a reprint
The new DC logo is so much better than the one on the original printing but I don’t think I will be updating just for that! George set a very high bar with his art here so I think volume 2 is not nearly as exciting when he hands over the art reins. I love volume 3 though when we see a lot of Jill Thompson’s art. Thanks for the comprehensive overview Omar, definitely a three volume set worth owning!
Definitely annoying that Action Comics #600 was skipped again. So easy to remedy and they didn’t.
The opportunity to pick this up on Facebook for a really good price just came up and of course, I came straight to your channel for advice. I now have a copy on the way!
Thanks Omar!
Gorgeous. I picked up the New Teen Titans V.1 omni last week and can't wait to get this one too. I'll always miss George Perez but I'm grateful we can enjoy and celebrate his work still.
Just got this a couple days ago, can't wait to dive into it.
Here's hoping by some miracle we get that fabled Byrne Superman omni back, then a volume 2, and maybe the start of some long multi-volume omni line called post-crisis Batman..
Hopefully DC gives it all another chance, especially given how well the tpb/hc's sold 😅
We live in hope for both of these suggestions !
@@djsuth7727 We do! maybe some day 😌
Both are at least more likely than my dream-omni's of Golden Age Blue Beetle, Question, Captain Atom, Shazam, Steve Ditko's Blue Beetle, and all the 90's/2000's legacy characters omni's, like Kyle Rainer, Impulse, Jaime Reyes, etc. 🥲
[best advice, never fall in love with c-list DC heroes, their omni's will either be rare, or forever on preorder ( darn Phantom Stranger omni...)]
Underneath the dust jacket is a hideous design layout. I guess DC couldn't spend extra money on redesigning it. Pfft. Great video, Omar.
I have the original printing of this. I won't be buying this new edition just for the new DC logo, but I'm surprised they didn't add "Volume 1" as well as the logo change.
This was one of my fastest preorders, as soon as it went up on DCBS I added it to my cart 👍 finally delivered yesterday but I haven't opened it. There were like 5 other omnis, a bunch of ECs, & 50-60 single issues in that box so it's mocking me from across the room!
I did recently upgrade my WW singles collection, too, finally got that #1 in really great condition (no spine stress lines or creases, just a single tiny corner fold & some minor ink rub around one of the staples), hoping for a 9.4 or 9.6 after I clean & press it.
Just wanted to shared this combination on the Perez run:
- WW Vol 1 Omnibus: 1 to 24
- WW Vol 2 Omnibus: 25 to 45
- WW Vol 5 TP: 46 to 57
- WW War of the Gods: 58 to 62 + WotG 1 to 4 + Tie-ins
The TP fits perfectly in between the omnis for a full run. The vol 3 omni (containing 46 to 62 and WotG 1 to 4 and currently OOP) heavily overlaps with the WotG omni (it double dips on 9 issues), being the latter a better way to read the event.
An ideal print would be a bigger new vol 2 from 25 to 57 and forget about that vol 3 all together, but hey...
Omar, do you think we'll get reprints of volume 2 and 3 again?
Just got my copy in the mail. Got 1 and 2 now I need 3!
Big Thanks Omar 👍💜
would you recommend reading this one first for someone trying to get more into wonder woman or the brian azzarello omnibus
Love this entire run by Perez - the post COIE era was my childhood. Don't think I can justify purchasing this 2022 edition, though, in order to have matching spines ! ( the next 2 volumes on the older printings switched to the modern DC logo )
After this I’m tempted to get this omni
Got this comming in tomorrow.
i have read this whole omnibus but didnt get answer of following questions..can u please answer or guide in which comics/omnibus to get answers.
1 . who killed goat god pan and disgused as him?
2. when did Wonder woman met Superman for 1st time after being attracted to him.
3. how did olympus and gods overcame dark sied..its mentioned ww and superman helped them
4. remaining story of swan song..when its villian got punished
5. who was mysterious hooded character around end of omnibus..donna troy was also mentioned at that segment..
please do answer or guide
I own the old printing, its a good book.
are wonder woman by gerorge perez 1 2 and 3 covered in this omnibus?..seeing number of pages i think some parts are missing.i was thinking of paperbacks but seems pages are not glossy there like its here
Omar...anyone....can anyone tell me if Volumes
2 and #3 are getting a reprint ?? I bought this last week,and just got it
Nothing yet on those two.
Still not happy that they pulled the fifth volume of her Golden Age run (again).
$75 to $100 damn. Def getting it though.
Ok the version I have, has a black DC label (not like the 2015 old printing) like the DC label used in the 2022 printing.
Same with my copy which I bought back in 2020.
If the omni doesn't have enough words to read, I feel they are ripping me off. A big heavy book shouldn't take an hour to read.
Do you think they’ll end up re-releasing Omnibus 2&3 of this run?
I think they will one day.
Does this have a lot more content than the recent Absolute version? I don't know what the differences are.
It does. Twice as much.
@@NearMintCondition ah okay. Thanks!
the Absolute 376pp has: Wonder Woman #1-14; Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe #26; Who's Who Update 1987 #1-3.
the Omnibus vol 1 640pp has: Wonder Woman #1-24 & Wonder Woman Annual #1
Sonho é ter essa fase publicada nesse formato no Brasil 🤩
I recently started buying omnibuses because of this channel. Does anyone have a good option for selling my TPBs? I only have so much space and my local comic shop said they wouldn't buy them.
Either donate to your local library or to people you know who may enjoy those stories. If not sell them on eBay, Amazon or other avenues like a yard sale
what is difference between this version and george perez omnibus 1.. is it ok to purchase 2022 version and george perez vol 2 and 3 skipping omnibus 1?
No difference at all.
thanks
RIP George Perez :(
huh-paa-luh-tuh
What is better to get this Omnibus or the Absolute ?
I think there is more content in the Omni, but I could be wrong.
@@jeffsuter344 10 more issues in the omni that cover the first 2 years
the Absolute 376pp has: Wonder Woman #1-14; Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe #26; Who's Who Update 1987 #1-3.
the Omnibus vol 1 640pp has: Wonder Woman #1-24 & Wonder Woman Annual #1
Hey Omar, do you think we'll ever see a wonder woman Gail Simmone reprint?
@brandon quintero Grayson Superspy omnibus is getting a reprint and remember that coming out around the time Gail Simone's Wonder Woman omnibus did so there's hope. It was a low print run sold out quick
@@purplerain225 I really hope so... I like her batwoman and birds of prey, I never got to read her wonder woman
jli 1 overview pls
Is the omnibus or absolute preferred?
I prefer the omni since it holds more issues.
@@NearMintCondition oh cool thanks i never paid attention to that hahah. Im teying to get into WW and saw ur video reccomendation for gods and mortals. The absolute is just so beautiful to me. Will they ever finish them all you think in absolute format?
I would prefer the omni too since the scans on the Absolute are not any higher in quality and so have a bit more of a washed out effect. At least that's how it was from the copy I got to flip through. The artwork in the omni looks a bit more crisp to my eyes.
@@rickray1202 oh nice good to know thanks. Im just trying to find out the best way to read all of george perez stuff. Would it just be the 3 Omnis and then im done?
@@PhatYeti Yeah, the three omnis cover the Perez WW run
The decision to put black end papers in there baffles me. It's a minor detail, but it's also a decision somebody made.
They did a new printing and they STILL left Action Comics #600 out of the book?? GODAMMIT, DC!
His portrayal of hercules in ww #1 was very accurate to the mythology books. Sorry marvel , but your precious hercules was about as far from heroic as one could get.
i always dislike pre 90s art for the most part, but this one is actually amazing wow.
