Im a big fan of the 90s X-Men so seeing the omnibus was awesome.i also liked the strangers in paradise omnibus books as well and Y the last man was great, everything was amazing collectively!
I’m sticking with the Absolute Editions for Y The Last Man. I understand wanting the whole story in one book but walking Dead is 8 omnibus, a lot of other stories are multiple books including Batman knight fall so I’ve just accepted that complete stories will sometimes require multiple books. That & I don’t have half of the books that you have.
I was all about buying that Y omnibus, but the Amazon reviews of the binding have been wretched. Probably going to wait a while, in hopes they correct it in future printings.
*Love* Terry Moore. Snapping this up the second I’m out from under Christmas. Y - given the plot - really snuck up on me in terms of just how good it is. First time I read I thought, “Decent, but what was all the hype about?” But, so many people in the community have such a high opinion of it I read it again. And again. Was definitely rewarded by rereading. ☮️
Waiting on my copy of Y the last man omnibus. I completely agree with your assessment of omnibus vs absolutes. Better one book than a series of two or three.
I always wondered what Strangers in Paradise was about. I just heard it was a must read. Not a huge fan of black and white books though. I love me a good colorist!
Signed edition should have a signed lithograph, but its separately from the box, that sticker comes with all releases, its just a print. Forbiddenplanet forgot to add mine so they are sending a new one. :)
I had to go through 2 Last Man copies because they came in jacked up from Amazon and the replacement still had cosmetic damage. Yours looks flawless. I'm still salty. Lol.
Gem before reading Eve of Destruction, it is good to know what happened during Magneto war event. The entire book pretty much plays over that story. Otherwise, you may not enjoy it.
What's the page quality on that Y Omnibus like Gem? I was never a fan of the matte paper they used in the Absolute editions. Do they use the normal, thick glossy paper in the Omnibus?
Great video man, do you know if the Y the Last Man absolutes have more extra content than the omni or Deluxe HCs btw? Omnidog said he sold his absolute because it had no extra content so it turned me off but now that the omni came out and I see how thick it is I'm concerned that they might've cut corners in terms of extras. Which edition do you recommend for someone who wants the whole story and all the extras?
I always loved comic characters growing up. But Y: The last man is what got me into comics and showed me what they could be. Personally, i think the Absolutes and Deluxe editions look better and are easier to read than that unwieldy omnibus. I dont like omnibus that round the pages that much.
Hey gem just got a new omnibus and got to a part where like 4pages are stuck together at the top with what seems like glue do you know any tricks of the trade to get to those pages without ripping?? As always thanks for the videos gem and phie
Let me know what you think of the Moore books. Rachel Rising is a great story, but SiP is boring and slow and I never did understand the hype. Maybe people talked this book up because they liked the slip-case look? I don't know.
NFLDude56 I tried the premier option. My first time doing it. It lets you schedule when the video drops and has a live chat for the people viewing it as it drops
Gem ! Nice video! I wanted to ask you opinion on a purchase. If you had to choose between the y the last man omnibus and big damn sin city...what would you do? Thanks
Gem! Love seeing your videos hit my sub page! Who do you use for your custom dust jackets?? I need 2 for the first two omnibus of War of Kings, both got damaged and thrown out a while ago and its killing my ocd. Although if I get the first 2 done, I'd probably want to get the 3rd done and have them all match.
-How many Omnibuses do you have, Gem? -Gem : Yes
all'um
Gem is looking fly af with that Christmas sweater
drippin!
For me personally Y the last man, along with the Dark Knight Returns are the greatest graphic novels I have ever read.
Dang you must be having the Pony Express delivering for you. Getting those quick
That X Men. Might need to pick that up. Love the 90s stuff.
Im a big fan of the 90s X-Men so seeing the omnibus was awesome.i also liked the strangers in paradise omnibus books as well and Y the last man was great, everything was amazing collectively!
You know what I wish for X-Mas?
Being Photogenic like Gem 💎💎😁

Love that Vader sweater! Can't wait for you and Phie read Strangers in Paradise.
that sweater!! I actually thought it was Jim Lee's artwork to the Shattershot Omnibus. May have to pick that one up.
I was all about buying that Y omnibus, but the Amazon reviews of the binding have been wretched. Probably going to wait a while, in hopes they correct it in future printings.
Another fire video. Need a gem mint bookmark that says "Stretch that spine!!!"

Hows the binding in hand ? Some people say binding is loose
Gem Claus in the building.
Edit: A Gem Mint Christmas sweater would be dope as hell 👀
Ace Breao with the stitched 💎 in the middle
Great haul I also splurged out and bought myself some Christmas presents and got the strangers in paradise HC looking forward to reading it
That sweater is pure magic, man. I gonna read Strangers In Paradise. Looks kind of hipster, way too hipster, but what the hell. Happy holidays guys!!!
I always wondered what Strangers in Paradise was about. I just heard it was a must read. Not a huge fan of black and white books though. I love me a good colorist!
SIP and Y the Last Man are 2 of my fav all time reads

That shirt is cute! Next time you need to wear a Santa hat too, hehe! Great video!
Cannot wait to get that y the last man Omni! One of my favorite series
SiP was one of my favorites back in the day
I bought those too! They haven't come in yet though... Look great. Glad I ordered them.
I liked the haul, thanks for showing it. I am truly an independent comics reading person!
Strangers In Paradise I was looking to order, looks great and those are THICC sets. Cheers to the Holidays!
Merry Christmas i love your jumper. Cannot wait to see what you have in store for 2020.
Didn't Flash by Geoff Johns Volume 1 also come out this week? Any reviews on that?
I'm in to the Y Omni . Gonna look fresh on ye olde shelf
Gem before reading Eve of Destruction, it is good to know what happened during Magneto war event. The entire book pretty much plays over that story. Otherwise, you may not enjoy it.
Onur Senturk makes sense. I see they referenced that run in the first issue
@@GemMintCollectibles Absolutely. I also forgot to mention Apocalypse and Twelve connection. This book comes later.
Merry X-Mas and a Super 2020 to you and your family. Live long and prosper 🖖
Thanks, Gem Mint.
Perfectly fine with my OHC editions. That omnibus looks like a pain to read.
What's the page quality on that Y Omnibus like Gem? I was never a fan of the matte paper they used in the Absolute editions. Do they use the normal, thick glossy paper in the Omnibus?
glossy
That’s a nice sweater, mate!👍
Is this your Christmas Special, Gembo?????!!!!!!!🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌
Hey Gem, why do You prefer the X-Men Omnis to the Oversized Hardcovers so much? The only difference is the word omnibus on the spine and dust jacket.
Andreas Clemens just how it looks on the shelf.
Great video man, do you know if the Y the Last Man absolutes have more extra content than the omni or Deluxe HCs btw?

i'll need to check....the omnibus is the cheaper route for sure

is there an online website that has low price on shipping i want to buy comics but live in hk
probably amazon for you since youre overseas
Gem Mint Collectibles thx so much bro
Geoff Johns JSA run or his Green Lantern. What would You pick Gem? Dont have money for both
GL
Hey gem just got a new omnibus and got to a part where like 4pages are stuck together at the top with what seems like glue do you know any tricks of the trade to get to those pages without ripping?? As always thanks for the videos gem and phie
Jacob Bornowsky I’ve had some weird manufacturing defects before. No real advice. Might have to rip a little
Let me know what you think of the Moore books. Rachel Rising is a great story, but SiP is boring and slow
and I never did understand the hype. Maybe people talked this book up because they liked the slip-case look? I don't know.
Can anyone tell me what size those bookshelves are and where to find them?
IKEA Kallax
Why the public repost, did it go live at the wrong time?

Gem ! Nice video! I wanted to ask you opinion on a purchase. If you had to choose between the y the last man omnibus and big damn sin city...what would you do? Thanks
Ivan Ostermann man they’re so different. YTLM gives more bang for your buck IMO
Gotcha. The paper on the YYLM Omni is glossy or matte? Thanks again. Also, the sin city book is bigger than the YTLM Omni right?
glossy and yes Sin City is tall like an absolute
Are you going to have a "Christmas Haul" video?
might do a whats in the box christmas edition
So awesome
Yeah Y the last man is a tad overrated but still good.
I stopped reading at Deluxe edition 4
I can agree with that
I would prefer a Scalped Omnibus much more...
Does the teespring store have gem mint sweatshirts?
Nestor Vasquez it does, click on the green sweater under this video. You can change the color too
What are some good places to buy Omnibus?
instocktrades.com is where i shop
@@GemMintCollectibles awesome, thank you
No one else seems to say it but it's Shatterstar.
what did I call it?
Shattershot
Surprised you got the Y The Last Man. As I recall from your previous review, you didn't exactly love it. What up w/ DC and all these tight bindings?
yea but i collect all omnis
Surprised ? He buys all the omnis/absolutes only beacuse he has to have them all, probably he hasn't read half of the books he owns ahah
Gem! Love seeing your videos hit my sub page! Who do you use for your custom dust jackets?? I need 2 for the first two omnibus of War of Kings, both got damaged and thrown out a while ago and its killing my ocd. Although if I get the first 2 done, I'd probably want to get the 3rd done and have them all match.
i dont have anyone i can think off top...id just make a post in the facebook groups
He got the title wrong, lul
1) hated strangers in paradise.
2) hated Y the man.

Both progressive/feminist mush.
Great haul I also splurged out and bought myself some Christmas presents and got the strangers in paradise HC looking forward to reading it
