This reading order is literally out of this world

Omar, you have a gift, friend. To explain all these stories so clearly and patiently. You should be part of Marvel Editorial.
I watch a few other comic-related channels too but Omar literally is the best, he does the best & most comprehensive work as a fan/collector & as a vehicle for amplifying our voices as fans. The fact that he gets exclusives on upcoming releases shows both sides (fans & Marvel sales dept) truly know he has a gift!
And these storylines and books are so confusing that 95% of us would be completely lost trying to read and collect these without Omar :)

10:15 I spot an Alf!
One of my biggest pet peeves is buying graphic novels and having omnibus selections come out later. I’m hoping these fillers will have Omni representation later.
Was looking soooo forward to this! One of the most complex after X-Men series! Thank you Omar!!
Having in my possession most of these this is gold to me.Unrelated :Never thinking i would ever see an entity such as Thanos ..getting a glimpse of him at Avengers movie i stood up"the avengers will be destroyed"the look i got: the old black guy must be insane.
Hoping for that infinity watch omni one day, great reading order though Omar thanks for this 🙏🤞
Agree would buy 😊😊
Omar's reading orders are the best thing for new readers like me. Excited to see what will be included in part 2!!!!
I always have a great time going through these reading orders!! Recently decided to give Infinity Gauntlet another go and I think I actually like it better now. I had forgotten when Death brought Big T back to the land of the living he was even more powerful than he was way back when when he was holding off Thor and the Thing (at the same time) in hand to hand.
I have all these omnibus so this video is a huge help so I know I'm reading them in order lol
This is so awesome can't wait for the next one. Been working hard on collecting most of these to enjoy for the first time but Thanos Quest, Silver Surfer issues just amazing work.
The hunt is on for the Infinity Watch trades
One of the few reading orders where I’ve read everything. Great video and looking forward to part 2!
Hardworking Omar back at it again!
Never realized that Heroes Return Thor was that cosmic, My mind is richer but my wallet is poorer
Oddly enough Just took possesion of the heroes return Thor a few days ago.
@@JennySparkz same here. I bought the Thor Heroes Return book by coincidence..got it cheap
I would luv to see a reading order of bendis new avengers years. Mixed in with house of m, planet and world war hulk, civil war , the death of captain America, mighty avengers, everything. Now that would be a reading order challenge.
Those were all of the first marvel comics I read, they really got me into the universe, especially planet hulk!
Marvel needs to collect some of this in Omnibus format. 'Nuff said!
I mean they’ve done a better job collecting Thanos then say someone like Nth Man!
@@NearMintCondition Yeah, don't recall too many Nth Man collections. Maybe someday Marvel will remedy that too
Difficult work, going through all of this & putting it in the right order 😲 I started the Cosmic/Thanos arc with the "Avengers vs. Thanos" collection & Guardians of the Galaxy Solo Classic Omnibus. I'm glad you put _Cosmic Powers_ in here, too, I just found a remaindered copy on clearance for $10 at one of my LCS!
I organize my bookcases alphabetically by title/team/character & sub-organized chronologically, so reading certain things in order can be a challenge, thank you for this.
Edit: Oh man, that Silver Surfer EC has some intense moments! I missed out on those tie-ins for years before buying it & MAN was I hooked 😄
That Infinity War Omnibus spine sticks out like a sore thumb. Anyway... I'm a sucker for Starlin and Thanos. Have the boxset and Omnis... Just missing the Infinity Crusade Omni. Double dipping? Yup. Do I feel sorry? You know better. Keep up the good work Omar!
I think this will be my introduction into Marvel Cosmic especially since I'm familiar with it due to the movies! Can't wait to check these out!
I hope you enjoy them!
We need to lead up paper back in an omnibus for mat but the word out please Omar I’m sure would sell well seeing every one is getting the other three books makes sense 😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you and I think it will too.
I'll consider this a reading recommendation since I'm planning on reading the cosmic universe in Marvel Comics. Nice review, Omar.
I just so happen to have two comic volumes that take place in Marvel Cosmic which are War of Kings and Realm of Kings.
Only thing I was missing was Cosmic Powers because I concentrated on Starlin by itself. Amazon is running a deal for a $7 for the book if it's still available I scooped mine up. Heads up for everyone before they're gone!
This was the first comprehensive Story line that I read from Marvel. Anf sure, it was mighty confusing att first but I just West along for the Ride and to this Day I enjoy the cosmic parts of Marvel the most (granted I'm not though Claremont's run on the X-Men yet).
I hope you enjoy X-men.
Great work Omar, everyone please vote for x-men reading order next week
Thank you for putting this out. The overviews are wonderful for characters that have several different series that they're featured in! But now I want a Captain Marvel by Peter David omni!
hey Omar how are you? hope well! I'm glad you finally got to do this reading order. I actully suggested this about a year ago when we were talking about you looking for thanos redemption for me. anyhow once again so glad you finally did this and looking forward to part 2! stay safe and keep up the great work!
I remember that. I hope you are doing well.
Great review and a nice recap of stuff I loved reading back in the day and re-reading now in some capacity. Heck you even snuck in a New Warriors Omni Vol 2 plug in there as well which makes it even better. Looking fwd to part 2!
An intersting note is that after Warlock and the Infinity Watch, Jim Starlin took Adan Warlock over to Malibu's Ultraverse in a crossover where he appears in the Rune books. These unfortunately have never been collected.
The Malibu year is going to be forever forgotten. Even if they have the rights to the series.
Wolverine omnibus vol. 1 is available on Cheap Graphic Novels for $60. And available on Amazon for $100.
I still don't understand why the start of the infinity watch was missed out from the Infinity War omnibus. I've read the aftermath tbp and it seemed fairly important. Not yet read the war omni.
Loved this video. Can’t wait for the robin reading order even if it takes 10 years
That will surely come. :)
Love it
My kind of video. Jim Starlin is one of my Household Gods as G'Kar would say. Instant like.
- Are you sure that something from the ORIGINS-Book is reprinted with GotG? There're no GotG in it.
- in THE DEATH OF CAPTAIN MARVEL is influenced by the death of Starlin's father
- That's actually Nebula's original look. The one we're used to, esp. since the Movies, came later.
- Warlock didn't have to get rid of his good & evil. It was a choice. He thought that by doing this his decisions would necessarily be neutral & just.
- Silver Surfer/Warlock: Resurrection is actually the continuation of SILVER SURFER: HOMECOMING. The reference the events of that GN. I'm surprised that it's not in there.
- The one in THOR isn't actually Thanos. Not anymore anyway. Starlin came back to retcon this & others (like KA-ZAR and so on). Thanos is basically Starlin's Main Focus. Even in CAPTAIN MARVEL & the WARLOCK-Books. After IG he wasn't really a villain anymore. He certainly wasn't fixated on Death anymore. For example see the IW-Tie-ins from MARVEL COMICS PRESENTS (I, THANOS - actually the 1st time Death spoke to him). In THOR he was back to his old ways. Without any explanation or motivation. I guess Starlin was pissed & did INFINITY ABYSS. After that, in THANOS 1 - 6 he presented the redemption with without any subtlety so no one would make those mistakes again. Personally, I think that most writers didn't get Thanos. Marz (but some people refer to him as Ron Starlin Jr.) and DnA are the exceptions. Well, Giffen was alright too. But the rest, not so much. It's like I'm reading about a different character. IA isn't very good. As much as I agree with Starlin retconning stuff like THOR his agenda is way to obvious. Makes it a little ham-fisted.
- THE END: Starlin claims that he wasn't clear on the concept. He conceived it within the regular continuity. It shows later on because it's referenced in THANOS 1 - 6. Personally, I think he might've ignored the concept. Just a little bit. Officially it's out of continuity. Personally I read as continuity because that's how Starlin wrote it. Also, there's really nothing in it that contradicts continuity at that time. It's Starlin going back to his lust for philosophy. It's a tough read at times. But I prefer it over IA.
- Starlin left Marvel because of some argument after THANOS 6. Not the 1st time, not the last time. ;-)
- Do you know JIM STARLIN: A LIFE IN WORDS AND PICTURES?
Okay, you got me hooked and I may have bought all of these books now and I haven't even been collecting for a month. Lol
Hahahaha yes sir!
@@NearMintCondition lol started buying on your second video now. Got Annihilation and Annihilation Conquest. May have to cool it for a bit after I get all of these haha.
Throw Thanos vs Ka-Zar in there :)
That's an order of magnitude worse than Thanoes Vs Spider-man and Kazar is nowhere near as fast as Spider-man
I just got my first book last week, omnibus infinity gauntlet, I guess I should have started with origins but somehow no one talked about it
I’m a sucker for the early cosmic stuff. Love love love Magus, Adam Warlock, and the Infinity Watch too. Always remember.. GEMS NOT STONES! Algorithm gang:)
Forgot to say: Appreciate your hand work on this incredible content, my friend. Can’t wait until Part two!
Have them almost all !! (in terms of omni's)
wow thats alot omar
Thanks for this! Great vid as always
Nice! :) Great work, Omar!
Beautiful!
Bring on that annihilation prologue Omni! Would snap that one up in a heartbeat if it got printed.
Oh yeah!
I've always liked Ron LIms version of the Silver Surfer. He's right up there with the best Silver Surfer artists like John Buscema, Moebius, Ron Garney, Esad Ribic,...Speaking of John Buscema, will Marvel ever reprint the Marvel Graphic novel Silver Surfer Judgment Day by Stan lee and John Buscema ? Or is it available in another collection or TPB ? They really should release this as a Marvel Treasury edition, the art deserves it...
I'd buy an Annihilation Prologue omni with those issues. Didn't even know those existed...
I love Thanos! Also do you own the Guardians Of The Galaxy Solo Classics Omnibus?
I want to own thanos wars the infinity gauntlet infinity war and the infinity crusade omnibuses and I don’t mind if I don’t like that the story of the infinity series is confusing if I don’t own the infinity watch but I’m going to wait until I have enough money for all of them 😊👍
Hit that like button!
Marvelous! I actually have the GOTG Solo omnibus so am I missing anything by not getting the Origins omnibus?
Infinity gauntlet, war, crusade, watcher le tout dans le coffret slipcase infinity gauntlet
I read the infinity storyline when that infinity gauntlet box set came out a few years back. If I read these would I get more info/stories?
Silver surfer thanos quest is after the infinity gauntlet??
So on the spine of the Thanos Infinity Abyss TPB, it says Vol 2. I can’t find a TPB for Thanos Vol 1 before that though. Does anyone know what that would be?
Hi Marvel, could i get an infinity saga omnibus with all of this crammed into one book. haha picture me at home all day, stretching out the spine of that 100,000 page sucker.
Can I get away with the Thanos & 3 Infinity omnis & be good, or are some of these Epics & trades must reads?
Hopefully we'll get a moon Knight or venom reading order someday! And the venom reading order following all the hosts that the symbiote has attached to, not just Brock
Please do a Darkseid reading order!
I skipped around a bit, but did you mention Avengers: Celestial Quest?
Are you going to look at the Road to Annihilation TPBs?
New to this, I heard some people say the Infinitely Gauntlet omnibus requires some skipping around to actually read it in order. Is this accurate/what order do you suggest for this? Is much lost by just reading it cover to cover?
Great video. Any chance of doing a Teen Titans video? That time line is ridiculous. I know everything is packaged nicely in Omnibus form but the series and renaming and then back again. Totally confused.
I can add that to the poll one day. It can get confusing.
So you said that the infinity gauntlet aftermath trade is basically collected in the silver surfer epic but What about the infinity war aftermath trade?
thanos wars infinity origin i cant find online
Could you please do an overview on the golden and bronze age Batman omnibuses that you recently received?
I think I’m going to give those away for the 40K giveaway.
@@NearMintCondition I was really looking forward to seeing it, but thank you for replying.
Let me think about it for sure.
@@NearMintCondition Make it one video if you do it.
With infinity gauntlet and war can I just get the trades and understand the story or do I need the omnibuses
As someone brand spankin new to comics (never read before) but really, really loves Thanos, is there anything I should read before this reading list?
Read Thanos Rising first. That might be a great jumping on point.
Dude doppelgänger needs his own maxi
Does anyone know where can I find the Thanos appearance in Deadpool without getting the omni?
drax used to have some awesome eyebrows
Is there any way to find digital copies of the omnibuses?
When are you gonna do the next epic collection releases
Hi omar, i cant find the trade of thor blood and thunder, so another way to get thst content on other tpb?
I have Thor Vs Thanos tradepaper (which has all the fight with Thanos issues #18 - 25).
Shall I get Thor:Heroes Return Omni ?
Only if you really really liked Thor. Those are the important Thanos issues.
Omar where shoud we put Gerry Duggan infinity wars and his gotg ?
That will be covered in part 2.
@@NearMintCondition u are just awsome man thanks a lot !
Do i need to read the whole infinity trilogy to be able to experience and enjoy the story? Or each of them are stories of their own?
Each one is stand aloneish.
@@NearMintCondition will I still understand the story and get some sort of closure for the story if I stop at Infinity War?
Or is it like the MCU movies where you have to see Endgame to get the proper ending of Infinity War?
Hi
Featuring Thanos? What did it beat out?
Curious why you didn't include Thanos Rising and Thanos: Infinity Saga Omnibus here.
Todavia no... parte dos. :)
Silver surfer reding order please.
I will put it up on the Patreon poll sometime, General.
@@NearMintCondition thanks!!
what about thanos rising by jason aaron?
That’s included in part 2.
@@NearMintCondition ah okay awesome
is this right:
Avengers versus thanos
Silver Surfer: Rebirth of thanos
Silver Surfer: Thanos quest
Infinity gauntlet
Silver Surfer: Infinity gauntlet
Infinity gauntlet aftermath
Infinity war
Infinity watch vol.1
Infinity war aftermath
Infinity crusade vol.1
Infinity crusade vol.2
Infinity watch vol.2
Marvel universes: The end
Thanos: Infinity abyss
Thanos redemption
Infinity
Thanos: The Infinity revelation
Thanos: Infinity relativity
The Infinity entity
Thanos: The Infinity Finale
A character that symbolises the cosmic in marvel, that's Galactus for me though..
Thanos is to much of a clone of darkseid for me to be representative for anything encompassing.
Galactus and the Surfer bring the cos in cosmic.
Will the infinity watch be released as an Omni?
I'm not sure as there will be some double dipping with the Infinity War and Crusade.
Would the Thanos Infinity Saga Omni go at the end?
I think I'm going to put it after Imperative.
Really disappointed with the lack of Thanos Helicopter mentions in this vid. ;)
Lol it wasn’t collected sadly :(
50th comment!!! 7 hours.
Algorithm gang:)
I wish the second half of Thanos Redemption (7-12) would disappear. The Star Lord in there is just wrong!
It's there to set up Annihilation and their roles, really.
@@NearMintCondition I know, I just really disliked it as a departure from all the work Starlin had been doing...and deadshot/terminator Star Lord is just a terrible flavor that seems inconsistent with all the previous Star Lord material and everything that follows. That's just how I feel about it. I would love to see al the Starlin material collected into another Omnibus or two with only what non-starlin work is needed for context. I think it could look like a Starlin's Infinity Watch Omnibus (with Silver Surfer/Warlock resurrection in it and the Blood and Thunder material if there is room, then collect the rest with Abyss, The End, and Thanos 1-6 as an Infinity Fragments Omnibus...with maybe Silver Surfer Homecoming thrown in for fun).
Algorithms :)
Algorithm comment!
Oh man, I gotta stop watching your videos...I always end up wanting to buy another omnibus
thanos wars infinity origin i cant find online
