The art in Sandman overture is amazing. Preacher and Sandman are my favourites.

Thanks for the video. Reading keeps you sharp! Always fun to watch you Dear Sir😀

I really love this channel, thx man you’ve literally helped me increase my reading material.

Of all of these Vertigo titles the one that stood out the most was Preacher. Great video as always Gem 💎

I need Absolute Fables

Hey Gem - thanks for another great “Every omnibus so far feature.” I have quite a few of these and plan on picking up a few more after seeing this. The Ex Machina series by Vaughan has nothing to do with the British made movie of the same name - completely different authors and stories. I believe there is a TV show in development for this Vaughan run though. I am reading it now and it is really good - great writing and art and definitely worth a recent reads on the channel. Keep up the minty awesomness.....peace! ✌️👍🍻

Man, people that crap on 90s comics are forgetting about the Vertigo movement that was going on. My favorite era of comics was that whole thing. Doom Patrol, Swamp Thing, Hellblazer, Sandman, list goes on and you can't beat it. Doom Patrol are my favorite superhero team, and that omnibus is one of my favorite runs in all of comics. It's not for everyone, and some arcs slow down, but if you're into getting weird, can't get better than DP. Tackles a lot of themes that were ahead of its time too, sexuality/gender identity, mental illness, things like that.

Gem mint this becoming my favorite channel I think your sand man review was the first video I saw

I built a slipcase for my copy of The Invisibles omnibus. At 1500 pages, it's not an easy book to store and handle. Also, the American Vampire's first arc was co-written by Stephen King.

Best way to describe The Invisibles is it's The Matrix on LSD...it's kinda like a successor/remake of his Doom Patrol run, in that they're both about reality being a giant collective drug trip or hallucination. It was probably one of the first comics to talk about memes too

I feel honoured you cracked your sleeper omnibus just for the vid brubaker and Phillips haven't made a bad comic yet

V for Vendetta is one of the greatest comics of all time. I’ve read it twice and want to read it again because it’s so damn good. I highly recommend it.

Great video! I think all I’m really in or at least what to check out is American Vampire

Really love the channel, bro! I'm halfway through The Invisibles and you've got to check it out. Dense and out there but so much fun! Please do a review when you do read it!

Thanks Gem... This was really useful I'm thinking about picking some of these up now.... But i was wondering if your going to turn in the absolute sandmans for the omnibus

Invisibles is my favorite book of all time!!!!!!!...Amazing!!!!!

That Absolute Absolute Death and Absolute Sandman Overture is a must. Wrapping up Absolute Sandman vol 1and will need the rest soon. J H Williams is amazing wish I'd been in the game for the Absolutes of Promethea but the Deluxe Editions are just as good

Great video. If you like Preacher, then you will really love Transmetropolitan. It was published in the late 90s - early 2000s and is set in a near future setting. Several of it's predictions happen like constant bombardment of media through mobile platforms. It has that same dark, sarcastic humor as Preacher. Animal Man and Doom Patrol were both published before Vertigo existed. Grant Morrison was just being very experimental with both properties. Later, they would be lumped into the Vertigo imprint. If you enjoyed Animal Man, then you will love Doom Patrol. It does the same deconstruction of superheroes and introduces new ways of thinking. I learned Meme theory by ready it. It's a trip. Invisibles is not as good by still worth reading. It's funny that you mention V for Vendetta in this video. We talked about it this weekend on our podcast Comics Misremembered. We specifically talk about the art style and why it looks so funky. Keep up the good work and you have some awesome reading in your future.

That doom patrol omni is THICCCCCCC

I need to pick up American Vampire soon. I read the first trade 5 or 6 years ago and really dug it. Holy crap, you gotta read Sleeper!!! That's a great series, a quick read too.

I just finished the House of Secrets omni and surprisingly enjoyed it. Its got some trippy weird stuff but nothing more than whats in Sandman.

Hi Gem! I do enjoy the DC/Vertigo Omnibus & Absolute editions however the one I have been patiently waiting for is "Sandman Mystery Theatre" by Matt Wagner, Steven T, Seagle & Guy Davis, Now THAT was an absolutely Superb 70 Issue Series! So come Vertigo and please release this Classic collectiom of Golden Age Sandman stories! Does anyone agree with me?

WOWZA! The only Vertigo omnis I own are Sandman (about to be all 3), American Vampire, Ex Machina, & iZombie. Can't believe I missed my chance to buy the Animal Man one.

Sleeper is one of my favorite comics of all time, and in my opinion the best thing Brubaker has written. It actually takes place loosely in the WildC.A.T.s universe (Grifter is in the prequel miniseries), and features a villain originally created by Alan Moore. Definitely get on that one if you haven't read it, you will not be disappointed.

Nice. I started reading the tpb for preacher got hooked and ordered the absolutes .

Good video Gem 💪. Love these... And uh... whatcha gonna do when the Y: The Last Man Omni drops?

Love my absolute sandman collection I do love the pages of the omnibus. The black coloring of the pages and slick design makes me want to double dip but I honestly prefer the absolute editions because it really stands out.

Damn, how can you not have read Grant Morrison omnibuses,its comic as its finest

I love how u don't just collect statues but books as well that's awesome keep it up bro reading is awesome.

Think you'll really like that amvamp omni, I devoured that in no time flat. That Doom Patrol omnibus is one of my favorite things ever, though it and Animal Man weren't Vertigo when they originally came out. Pissed that I missed out on the omnibus of Animal man (new printing please D.C.). Still gotta get around to reading izombie. There are omni's of Lucifer and Y the last man scheduled for later in the year, looking forward to those but I'm hoping for Preacher and Transmetropolitan in the omnibus format sometime soon. Good reading, Gem.

You NEED to get on that Transmet book!!!

Yea Gem, Doom Patrol is like the DC X-men but they actually came first. Whether Marvel copied or not is still up for debate.

I am reading transmet right now and it’s cool

American Vampire is awesome! It's just as good as Snyder's Batman.

Good video. It turns out I have almost all these books too. Some absolute you have I got deluxe or trade. I don't have izombie, and I'm on the fence for the coming Y the last man omnibus. Sandman I love so much, I went for double dip. Have absolute 1-5, omni 1-2 (and buying 3), death deluxe, overture deluxe. I really like Vertigo line. Most of them are standalone, no confusing cross-over or reference to other books. And generally deeper, more creative and literary than others.

Yo gem have you read the image title invincible? If you haven’t you should pick up the hardcovers and start a series. Anyway great vids man keep them coming

Vertigo is doing a re-print on animal man witch is awesome because I need that one and didn’t want to spend big. Love the video as always thanks

Speaking of Snyder’s Batman, they have FINALLY solicited an omnibus vol.1! According to Amazon, it’ll be released on October 22nd (probably sooner on IST) and will collect the first 33 issues of the run. I friggin can’t wait!

Very cool thoes are some big boy books 🔥🔥🔥

Thanks for posting. I always love your "Every ____ Released So far" videos. dOOM pATROL was the very first omni I ever bought and the Sandman Absolutes are the crown jewels of my collection The way things are going with DC, you may want to do a "Every Omnibus CANCELED So far" video!" I just found out they canceled the next JLA, House of Secrets and Brave & Bold bronze omnis as well as the Joker Bronze omni and the DC Bronze Age Jack Kirby omnibus. I had pre-ordered all 5 of these! What the @#$% is going on at DC?

100k here we come 👊

Man, I'd give anything to have your collection. I live in a third world country though and our currency is dogshit, so these omnis are extremely expensive. I buy what I can, but that shelf behind you and all my favourite comics on your desk makes me jealous like nothing else in this world.

The Animal man was a blind buy for me and I am glad I did, because I started reading it and didn't stop. It had a crazy ending that I liked.

I gotta get all of them

Can you do a every omnibus release so far? Case I know there's many updates in your library

Hey playa you use iMovie or Final Cut Pro to edit?

How is the binding in the sandman absolutes ? I've had very bad experiences with absolute bindings but really want to pick sandman in this format.

6:08 made me laugh "nothing goes to waste" turns page and it's just all black

Nice

There's also three Sandman omnibus releases aside from the Absolutes, two that cover the whole original run and a third that collects the stuff in the fifth Absolute plus Death and Overture.

It’s always a shame to see someone mask an “opinion” as a mean-spirited, insulting, contentious, judgment on a stranger for seemingly no reason other than to create drama and draw attention. Primarily, hurt people do this stuff and waste energy on actions like this so they can in turn become victims and lash out at others for “bullying” them over an “opinion”.

INSANE!😊😂😂😂

yo thats DOPE!!!!

Lucifer omnibus? No Vertigo collection is complete without that title!

God i wish we could get more swamp things

We need an Alan Moore Hellblazer Omni

Just got the Doom Patrol omni. Did not know it was that massive. Im in for a surprise when it shows up 😂

Transmetropolitan is a good read

I kinda think you should add deluxes to this too ;)

Have you thought about making a "Every Marvel Event Omnibus So Far" video?

You know more about these things than me: If I bought the 3 omnibus' for Sandman, will I have every issue/story that is included in the Absolutes I-V + Death + Overture? Would there be anything else I'd need to collect?

Only read DC my whole life, should i buy any one of these and which would you suggest the most? All opinions are welcomed

Holy shit man I got a little anxiety when you used those box cutters!

Great video. Vertigo has definitely separated itself from the pack. So after reading some of these, do you see yourself selling them? A few of those I would never read again. Not my cup of tea. Dropped! Thats what happens when you try to carry them all at once. Stay minty!

Good morning Gembo, I got another question today, do you play Japanese import video games?!🎮🇯🇵🎌

I wish DC would reprint that House of Secrets Omnibus :(

1.does instock trades have free shipping 2.can u do a not so recent reads on Watchmen

📺👀💎

V for Vendett is great

Gem, what's on your reading list?

Who else is broke as fuck but wants to buy them all lol

Animal Man was just this goofy character made back in the day but Grant Morrison transformed him into one of the most bad ass superheroes in the world

Maybe this is a conversation for a Gem Live but, what makes a story worthy of an absolute? I am newish to the game and I only have two absolutes but to me they have to be a combination of a good story and kick ass art. I know it is all subjective tastes but some of these books just didn't seem to have art that really calls for an absolute. I really liked Preacher and Sandman's art, makes me worried for my wallet over the next few months. Stay minty folks...

I just denounced this video to youtube. It's plain and simple porn. Oh, boy. Look at this... XD

I’m going to read Preacher after I finish The Boys 😎

Should I continue reading the Sandman? I read 3 volumes so far and I’m not super into it

Sweet Jesus get your reading glasses on. Doom Patrol all the way

That was an old school Gem Mint video. Good job. Good video. Thx G - Man. Have a great day. I'm getting a new prescription so maybe I'll be able to read some of my books soon as well as prose novels. My diabetes make my eyes change every six months or so. My eyes are really bad bro. People give me shit for collecting and not reading and there's nothing I can tell them you know. Later. :)

we need some brian azarello 100 bullets please

Preacher is the shit, Sandman is a great read as well.

You need to get the The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Omnibus , it was release in 2011 but it went out of print pretty soon, fortunately it will get a new edition this year, these was the look of the old one www.instocktrades.com/TP/DC/LEAGUE-OF-EXTRAORDINARY-GENTLEMEN-OMNIBUS-HC/JUN110338

just to be sure... there is no ex machina movie that has any relation to the book... right?

I felt exactly same about Y: The Last Man! I ended to sell whole series away. Have you red Saga which is also from same writer?

Have you read Doom Patrol yet...??? ...its worth it...

Ugh I am new to comics except for walking dead and watchmen. I just realized that sandman is not referring to Spider-Man villain!

Y the last man absolute i loved but the glue kept coming off the spine for some reason

I need help I'm trying to get into Neil Gaiman's The Sandman but there's so many versions can someone please help

Every Vertigo omnibus except the 3 Sandman omnibuses.....

Fuck dude U should sell Gem Mint energy drinks... u don’t stop. A good quality.

It blows that they are closing the Vertigo imprint :/

Never read American Vampire

"I don't know what this is about, I heard it was good, I haven't read it" *spends $100 on an Omnibus just to sit on the shelf* This is what's wrong with comic collecting.

Never read Doom patrol ..watch just tv show...personally 4 me its a fck shit hahah

Does this guy even read graphic novels?? 🤷

So you have all these books.....but you don't read them? So what are they for, just to show off your money?

Y the lastman is not so good imo
