Thank you for watching, my brother and yeah its an X-men completist dream!

Thank you for watching, my brother. This omnis bring so much joy to me since they fill in those gaps.

Thank you so much, my brother. That is a mad beard you are rocking.

That is coming. I promise. :)

Thank you so much for watching and the kind words. Seriously.

You too Jeff!

Thank you so much for watching and the kind words.

LOL it's what I do, spoilers. :)

Hahahaha :) I'm sorry, brother.

What is up my brother? It is here and i hope it doesnt' disappoint.

I'm sure it won't. I'm a X - Men junkie. They are my favorite group in all of comics.

It's got some great art.

It really is a beast of an omnibus.

YOU get it!! :)

No brainer at all.

I dont' think this is what Louise and Chris had in mind. I wish they had done the original plan.

@@NearMintCondition do an episode talking about the original vision for it!!! :)

Oh I absolutely love Alan Davis... his Excalibur runs were fantastic. I was just done with X-Men by this point, that's for sure.

I'm a huge fan since Uncanny 213!

Alan Davis is one of my faves. His XMEN run in the late 90s was visual brilliance but the writing seemed ...sub par ...at least for XMen...

I haven't heard anything yet about an Ultimate X-men omnibus.

@@NearMintCondition Thanks, and hopefully the "powers-that-be," and any influence you can bring :), might be open to putting that on the "to be printed" list! Thanks again!

I always tell people to buy what they like. As far as this story, the stuff in the back will get you ready for what exactly is going on with the story. You won't feel lost.

I think it's a pretty easy read since most of the stuff is in the previously pages. Just have a basic understanding who Apocalypse is.

I hope you enjoy it.

Holy crap! You are absolutely right. I always thought it was Peterson, but looking at it, yeah it's Yu's style for sure.

@@NearMintCondition it was written as well at the bottom left portion of the page in the extras section that you showcased in the video. 😂

Ohhhh... that would be the Chris Claremont Revolution era.

I don't know really sometimes its too many omnis maybe? I'm with you...at least we are getting them.

OF course I can.

@@NearMintCondition you the man! 🙌🏽

Not yet, sir.

Not really at all.

It was a great time.

We can hope so. I'd love that.

Glad that you are enjoying it.

Retail never really is.

Everything wrapped up and set up the new status quo for Claremont to return.

@@NearMintCondition yes, Alan Davis run starting from Magneto War all the way to the end of this Omnibus was planned perfectly from beggining to the end. And repercusions, especially for Cyclops are long last. From TL to almost President of Mutants as his behevior changes.

Thank you so much for the kind words. :) I may have left, but I came back and here to stay.

@@NearMintCondition well, at least for Hickman and Co's run, right? He snagged the corner of my mouth and reeled me back in kicking and screaming, man.

For me it was Morrison that brought me back.

My man!

@@NearMintCondition haha!

You are correct. Someone else mentioned that before nd damnit... all these years I thought it was Peterson.

I got you my dood. Keep in mind that the Direct Market always goes on sale before places like Amazon and Barnes and Noble. That's the dates to go by. :)

It's a fun story.

Near Mint Condition believe it or not I started readathon on Marvel Unlimited of X-Men probably gonna end it when I am 70 years old 😁

Thank you so much for watching and the kind words.

It's coming, brother.

It adds some, for example X-Universe is in it. That should have been in the original omnibus. The X-man issues were interesting. The 2005 series was okay. I swear if you could work out a deal to get it a little cheaper than $125 I'd say yes! :)

@@NearMintCondition thanx again for the info dude! I will see if i can get it closer to cover price. Have a good day!

I think he meant as a 616 titles. Cause I thought the same. :)

You are 100% correct. But I don't know if that's still referred to as volume 1 since it wasn't in the 616 universe.

That makes sense, why do they have make comics so confusing sometimes

So we can double dip. :)

Is it any good? I think it felt short on what it could have been. The Twelve were so different than intended and it seems like Davis was really stretching himself thin with this huge storyline. It did have its high points, but so many low points too. Specially the ending. That again, is just my opinion, but I do love that art!

Honest? not really. I will say that there are better collections out there. If you're a completist getting all the X-books then yes get it. But if you are wanting to try out X-men..there are better stories to me.

@@NearMintCondition Thanks for the feedback. I’m in Canada and my comic book store has a buy 2 get 1 free deal and I’m trying to figure out what to get.

Good thing nerds like me haven't!

Absolutely, unless you love it!

Very nice.

he showed you at the end the other 3 omnibus books man!!! that are connected to it all, but can still read it but wanna tie in continue story 3 other omnibus books can read! but kinda oop i just won this $73 ebay so gotta buy it.......

Is the story good?

@@forsakenV12 I haven't read all of it yet. I'm reading other things.

Uncanny over this for sure.

@@NearMintCondition Thank You 🙏 I'll save my cash for all the X-Men Omnibus being reprinted this year and Infinity Gauntlet 😁

Oh Harras.....he did some many amazing things at Marvel and then he had his lows.

I do plan on updating that at the end of the year when Uncanny Omnibus volume 4 comes out.

They extended it all the way until the middle of this month. :)

I've given away so much through the channel. About to have another big giveaway in the coming weeks.

This takes place in the main 616 universe. AoA was an alternate timeline so just keep that in mind.

Uncanny volume 1z

I think it is...i barely saw Apocalypse in the page by page review

I do and its okay at best. :)

My man!

Thank you so much, brother. Seriously.

Ohhh... I'm thinking with Onslaught.

I'd be all over that Day one!

Thank you, sir. I think it might be something new they are trying. This one isn't terrible, I just noticed a difference.

@@NearMintCondition Of course, but there must be some kind a reason they change it. There were any customer complaints on the old binding or the new one is cheaper in production ;-) ? Usually people don't change things that works very well. :-) In that bigger omnis like War of Kings 1200 pages + it also works well. Personally for me it is step back, and now we are walking almost DC way. Marvel don't go where are DC's omnibus now ;-)

I think its a great place. You won't be lost.

New X-men for sure.

Near Mint Condition cool will order it next month with the xforce omnibus hopefully it doesn’t go out of stock.

Hahahaha much love brother.

And I’m going to try again to get this reprinted in 2023! 😂

Eve of Destruction omnibus.

@@NearMintCondition thanks for responding to me by the way

Hardcase it’s what I do!

Geoff johns is my favorite writer so naturally I'll recommend his work.

The Dark Side ok thx man

Blackest Night a good one!

jackakhan Hmm thx man I’ll keep that in mind

Django Fett yeah been thinking about annihilation

That’s in the Eve of Destruction OHC.

The storyline was hard to ever meet expectations. The set up was 25 years in the making and making expectations high. So the ending really fell flat, the art is great and it did have some high points though.

I read xmen and uncanny parts of this at the time and was very underwhelmed. Looking at the superior production quality and the issues in it I don't have already tempts me to purchase

Not really, but you can jump in and the recap pages help.

Near Mint Condition ok thx is it a good story?

If I could give you any advice right now. Get that Eve of Destruction as soon as you can. It's gone out of print at the warehouse. Some places are out already. This sounds like a great approach. :)

@@NearMintCondition I have just pre-ordered X-Men Vs Apocalypse: The Twelve, and ordered X-Men Revolution and X-Men Eve of Destruction from online book retailers. In the case of later it was showing as in stock when I ordered it, but now showing as "out of stock"... hopefully I've managed to catch it before they ran out... fingers crossed Checking the order status it saying processing, so it should be OK, in the event that they can't fulfill the order, there are still slightly more expensive alternatives that do have stock, so thankfully I have fallback options. My wallet isn't going to be happy about the current other preorders and possible ones - I'm going to have to rearrange a few things in order to fit all the new Omnibuses in! Anyway just to give you a favour of what other items are on pre-order they are: 📍 Spider-man Miles Morales Omnibus 📍 Amazing Spider-man by JMS Volune 2 - I have already got volume 1 📍 Dawn of X volumes 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 📍 Wolverine Volune 1 📍 Astonishing X-Men 📍 Uncanny X-Force by Rick Remender 📍 She Hulk by Dan Slott 📍 Absolute Carnage Omnibus Items that will be pre-ordered when they are available to do so: 📍 Senaational She-Hulk 📍 Milea Morales: Ultimate Spider-man Omnibus 📍 Venomnibus Volume 3 - I recently picked up the previous two volumes 📍 Infinity Gauntlet 📍 Infinity Crusade - getting the two Infinity Omnibuses mean thatI will have a complete run without having to purchase the box set 📍 Uncanny X-Men Volumes 1, 2, 3 and 4 Items that I'm considering: 📍 Secret Wars - once I have got the Miles Morales Ultimate Spider-man Omnibus it would make sense to get this 📍 Spider-man vs Venom Omnibus - there are currently multiple copies of this as"like new" - since this has gone OOP the prices for new ones have risen dramatically 📍 X-Men Classic - as a companion to the Uncanny X-Men Omnibuses Items which I'm undecided on: 📍 X-Men by Jim Lee Volimes 1 and 2 📍 Weapon X : The Return I think that after that little lot - I will be done! 😀😀 UPDATE: The following arrived today 📍 X-Men : Eve of destruction OHC 📍 Captain Marvel: Ms Marvel a Hero is Born Omnibus 📍 The Thanos Wars: Infinity Origins Omnibus - turned up two days early was predicted for Monday For Thursday 📍 Legionquest OHC - because it was cheap due to an additional 30% discount Yet to be dispatched 📍 X-Men Revolution Omnibus

Fingers crossed indeed. I think you are on the road to an amazing collection.

@@NearMintCondition Thank you! Your comments are very much appreciated

Hama was my Wolverine too. Issues 31 to 75 are my favorite time for Wolvie.

Mine was up to 102 then Adam Kubert left and the Art was up and down .. The Feral Wolverine didn't really work without Adam's Art .. I really enjoyed how he humanized and humbled Wolverine after fatal attractions 75-90 was a hard battle to get back on top.. He had to endure almost losing his life and learned how to survive without the adamantium and healing factor, Cyber broke his bone claws, ptsd from Magneto ripping the metal off his bones and even having his first run in with Deadpool and leaving the xmen for a while. Starting over and rebuilding himself. It was a good story so I was disappointed that Hama left and didn't give it a complete end with the return of the adamantium.

Thanks man, I pay it forward by doing giveaways all the time. I will be doing another one soon.

I don’t like it.

I like what you like.

Liquid was doing the coloring, so some computer coloring.

Sometimes I envy Comixology, as it would save me space. I'm in IT. Not Bruce Wayne and quite boring.

My bad, for some reason I catch myself saying that sometimes too.

They know. Their sale extends until next week. If you want I can ask them what I should change it to.

I don't know how they would collect those Cable issues.

I mean I always can.

@@NearMintCondition hope you can explain that arc soon then

I’ve no idea what you are going on about. But I thought you asked me to stop stealing gem mints material. How are you still here? ;)

Onslaught set the bar for low for me.

I don't see the logic in Making XMAN: NATE one of the twelve. I mean who ever prophesy the twelve should not have been able to see past the events of THE DEATH OF XAVIER. BECAUSE that reality did not exsist...so how could the prophet have seen 12? He shoulda seen 11...or...did Nate coming to 616 alter 616 timeline?...

@@NearMintCondition Man onslaught was the absolute pinnacle of my XMEN days. I mail ordered every book in the lot...and i really loved them. It was hard but i kept following XMEN till zero tollerance....which i loved...but by that point i was more into cars drugs and women and working...i picked up the 12 paperbacks on a wymm ...i thought the art was brilliant but the story was pure ass...didnt cable have the spear of destiny for this one?...

He had the Psimitar... :/ I didn't come back until Morrison.

@@NearMintCondition Morrisons run was fun . it became a standard bearer were mainstream met Indies. But i feel like everythind since was just not great at all...I almost feel like marvel wanted XMen to be second fiddle to the avengers franchise...

Hahahaha
