I know this video is a year old but I invested in the Preacher absolutes because of you and I am so glad I did. They are my most prized possessions right now, my preciouses lol

your description of Batman in Kingdom Come cracked me up haha "Metal things like.. Forest Gump" 😂 He always reminded me of like a Darth Vader / Batman it also amazes me that people actually get angry over you not liking what they like..

I was not a fan of your picks from your favourites omnibus but with absolutes... Now we are talking about

"The art by what’s-his-face" 🤣 I always thought that was a British saying. Laughed so hard when you said that!

I didn't see Spawn coming as I don't remember you mentioning it very much. I agree. Started collecting comics as a kid with McFarlanes Amazing Spider-Man and loved him right through his Spawn work. Capullo made a seamless transition which surprised me at the time as I didn't think anyone could replace Todd but his work was damn close if not as good. Met Capullo unexpectedly back just before his 1st Batman came out and he's a great guy. He even did a quick sketch for me after telling me he doesn't really like doing them. I am a little surprised you didn't have the Hush Absolute on your list though. I love your videos my friend. Keep em coming. P.S. - Doppelganger looks feeling awesome posted up behind you. Got me drooled worse then him. Can't wait.

Reveals number 1. Me: That's a thing!? "Takes to the internet"

Pretty dope top ten, I just got into comic book collecting and the first one I bought was the preacher 25th anniversary omnibus. Now I got a new addition.

Another great episode! Would love to see a Top 20 Absolute List from you where you also consider placement of these additional 10 books: Absolute Swamp Thing, Absolute V for Vendetta, Absolute New Frontier, Absolute Planetary, Absolute Wonder Woman (Azzarello/Chiang), Absolute Crisis on Infinite Earths, Absolute Top 10, Absolute Ronin, Absolute Long Halloween, and Absolute All-Star Superman! Stay minty!

One of the first videos I watched of yours, just wanted to comment and say props on the weight loss journey man. You've completely transformed yourself, and I bet you feel a hell of a lot better for it. Congrats homie.

Great absolute top 10 love the way you mixed it up and definitely love spawn wish they weren’t so hard to get

Loved the instant replay. Awesome list and video as always

Looked through old comments and see someone mentioned it before (very bottom), but wanted to repeat-- Alan Moore didn't exactly want to use "DC" heroes for Watchmen, He wanted to use The Charlton Comics characters that DC bought out in the 80's. Blue Beetle=Night Owl, Rorschach=The Question, Captain Atom=Doctor Manhattan, etc.

Fantastic videos mate absolute love and respect your work is amazing so informative thank you for putting these videos together my reading shopping list is so long now of what to buy lol thanks again love it

Keep coming back to this video. Great work Gem Mint.

Just got into the channel and seeing that number one spawn ultimate edition, got me soooo hyped omfg!

great video Gem. would love to see a top 10 deluxes/libraries soon!

Your Channel is doing well Gem, you've now reached 21k and I don't think it's going to stop there.

I CALLED IT!! Knew what #1 would be! Great video my man :)

Excellent video. Love the first one!!!! The new run is very good. Coming the 300th edition.

Wow!.Great video Gem love the list..Ima have to pick up the boys and court of owls after i complete the preacher run..

That was a great list and I liked how you mixed it up. Definitely was surprised at your #1 pick and was also surprised Batman Hush didn’t make it, good story and great Jim Lee art oversized. Good stuff though Gem

I was going to be so sad if Absolute sandman wasn't on the list, your review on them is actually the first video I've see of yours

Omnibus video was cool, but these Absolute picks are straight up my alley (DC / independent fan here). Your picks for the 10, 8, 6, 4, 3, 2 spots are also on my list :) Haven't read "The Boys", and "Promethea"(shit, this is a whale of a book), and I'll wait until I have them in this format (don't wanna spoil'em with TP's)! Keep it up

What up Gem!?! I've been a lil busy but, I'm trying to catch up on some of your videos this past week. I like this list! I do have most of them. I have not read Sandman or nowhere near up to date with Spawn. I'll have to do some research on Sandman, I've heard it's very good! Thanks for the vid & keep up the great work!

I like the style of reveal where you don't already have all the entries shown.

Dope list man alot of mature content there. Honestly in trynna add all that to my collection Haha thanks for the tips

Absolute Planetary is one of the few books in this format I own and I personally think is awesome.

Long Halloween might be my number 1

Great review ...this is the best of the best......Dark Knight, Sandman, walking dead, my fav the Boys....Watchmen was crazy what Moore did with that story...and correct Moore wanted to use DC characters but DC was like hell no ...kingdom come was crazy...

Can’t go wrong with Spawn. Great list! Damn, I just looked those Spawn books and they are pricey. Hopefully they’ll do a reprint in the near future.

Awesome collection!

Solid top ten! Even though it is relatively new, the Court of Owls story was an instant classic. I’m also halfway through the Walking Dead. Although i enjoy the show, i have to agree that the books are better. I have been thinking about getting into Preacher. Just picked up Gideon Falls today... so far so good.

I’m definitely going to invest in the Absolute Dark Knight.

Also keep these coming. Great content as always.

Man what a great list. I've read all these except the Boys, I'm going to have to check that out after hearing your review. Cheers!

Hey Gemint, dope list. Have you read and if so what do you think about Fables, 100 Bullets and Usagi Yojimbo? Few of my personal favs and i couldn't tell if you had a review or not. Thanks bro

Great list Gem. Thought Transmet. or Y:TLM might get in there but you gotta go with the books you love! I'd have Preacher at number 1 though.

Check out watchmen the issue where Rorschach gets arrested that whole comic is mirrored meaning Reversed from beginning to end panel for panel... also love the way Moore had so many throw away things like the sugar cube’s etc

Great absolutes !!! WoW !!! 10 + video !!!

I just recently had the same query where I was thinking about how the absolutes sit on the shelf slipcase out ? Or slip case in? I have the skip case out and I’ve decided to keep the slipcase facing out cuz that’s the way it seems they want you to have it. That isn’t the only Alex Ross absolute that is like that! I have the one with him and Paul Dini that is the same. The OCD in me goes nuts lol Great vid as always!!!

Man dude, I had a feeling your #1 pick was going to be Spawn. Spawn is still, in the best way, BLOWING UP in popularity. I don't think his popularity will ever die down lol

Hey gem mint, i’m not a huge fan of the absolute editions, only got the transmetropolitan 1 and 2, but i really prefer the ómnibus. Much more material to read at the same price. Great video man, keep them coming

Definitely love your #1 pick I'm a huge fan of spawn too, definitely agree with your list

Spawn was my favorite comic growing up to! I have the 1st 120 or so issues sitting in a long box. I should really re-read them.

Love that #1 pick, wish I had a copy haha

Really want the Preacher story line in Absolute Editions. Great List, Spawn for the win!

Dope video. The Vertigo line is my favorite thing DC comics have ever done. Sandman at least in trade has 10 volumes. Not including the prequel overture and the three spin offs

I started reading Spawn. Read the first 80 issues. The story is so terrible. Can't believe it. Wasn't expecting such trash. But the Art is GOD level. Awesome collection bro

I love watching your videos bro!!

Another killer video. Your passion and authenticity are unquestionable. Well done, my friend.

thanks for helping with my list!

12:11 That was funny as shit. Third time I'm watching this video and I always lose my shit at "BATMAAAN?" Hahaha Great gig as always man. Love these.

I called it, just before, knew you were going SPAWN! Good video as always.

As always, awesome video!

I can't deal with Absolute Dark Knight because it contains the sequel which was godawful. I was disappointed in the Watchmen Absolute. I didn't think the artwork looked sharp enough. Here's one I think should have made the list: Crisis On Infinite Earths because George Perez's artwork looks so much better in the larger format.

There can only be 1# and I agree wholeheartedly with the greatest Independent Comic of all time! Todd Mcfarlane's SPAWN changed the game forever!👍😎

I’m thinkin I’m gonna read Court of Owls in that absolute format. Also this video was bustin me up 😂💎

Wow full circle, the boys became a show and its amazing, I have to read the books now

Great list. Really hope they reprint that Promethea run

I have all of them except volume 1 of spawn deluxe. I've found volume 3 and 4 for about 28$ each on Amazon ! Hands down for absolute preacher and sandman !

Absolute Dark Knight will be rereleased this summer 2019. Can't wait...it can go with my Year One and Killing Joke absolutes

Fantastic list!

Very dope video my bro😊😊😊

Awesome video! I didn't even know there was a Spawn Absolute! I want to read more Spawn!

Great! + i love very much "Absolute Batman and Robin by Grant Morrison"

What about transmetropolitan? Im planning to buy all 3 of them this month, are they worth it? Great video, love Spawn, super cool top 10

Love the top 10 list, I was on the fence about Preacher but I’m gonna check it out since it’s so high on your list

Great list mate. Though I would say you are missing a few honorable mentions such as Absolute Batman Hush (Loeb + Lee), Absolute Justice (Kruger + Ross), Absolute Ronin (Frank Miller).

THAT WAS COOL GEM. THE ABSOLUTES ARE TIGHT.👊👍👍

That Spawn origin collection vol 1 is fire. Are those not printed anymore? Can't find them anywhere?

Agreed on Watchmen my man

Great list! Nº 1 was a surprise, I didn't know you were such a Spawn fan. You should get Absolute Ronin if you don't have it already.

“Get ready to be disappointed.” Me: Oh no. “Spawn!” Me: Oh thank God.

Radvideo ty for the info brother

Need to add a couple of these

The only absolute I own is Y: The Last Man vol 1. but I'm very tempted by preacher and sandman, two titles I haven't read yet.

Love the walking dead first read it when I was gone and I got hooked! So when I got home I checked the show out. It took a minute for me to get into the show.

I missed absolute Promethea 😢. Top 10 list is spot on!

I think you would like the Neal Adams Green Arrow/Green Lantern Absolute. Some historic stuff on that run.

Thank you so much for your reviews. Did you read the transmetropolitan?

Wooaaaahhh!!! Awesome

That Spawn deluxe is out of print right? Any idea where i could potentially find a copy? It looks epic!

yooo all star superman absolute?! Some of the best supermang art ever! :)

For someone who is on a limited budget any can’t just go out and buy every Spawn comic out there, what would you suggest as a great book for someone who’s never read Spawn before? That someone being me.

Sandman: Overture is Amazing! Have you got to it yet?

I got the standard watchmen. I wish I had the bread to double dip on the absolute edition.

Great video

Bro PPF is my comic store I just saw Xavier the other day that’s awesome man you from West Palm?

I'd love to get my hands on the Preacher Absolutes - I just finished the first season of the show and I imagine the comics are just that much better. Great list, wish Absolute Hush made it on the list but hey some people have good taste some people have great taste, haha stay Minty Gem!

Some people on Reddit are saying these editions might not be great for constant reading (pages falling out/cracked spine). This might not be true. Anyone have any experience with these style of hardcovers? I want a couple but I tend to read and re read them a lot and maybe that’s too much wear and tear for these..

damn those Spawn books looking crispy clean

I was going to ask if you had checked out Promethea after watching your swamp thing reviews! Nice, it’s in your top ten.

Invincible library #1 can't wait till Skybound finishes all 6 volumes

Morning Gembo, since you did that Berserk vol 1 review yesterday, you should get The Berserk deluxe edition that comes out March 12, 2019. Btw it’s on Amazon or you can go to your local bookstore, mate, have a good day!🍻🍔

Can I read batman detective comics in any order?

any word on a spawn reprint in this format? seems like they have a lot more of them to make on top of needing to reprint the older volumes. i don't get why they stopped making them in the first place.

How many people rewatch these when making purchasing decisions? Crazy to think how many times I rewatch vids

Anyone super sad that they stopped releasing the Hardcover Origins Editions? I collected up to 10 and waited forever for 11. But it has never come out smh

i have the same top 9 except. I dont have Promethea. But I have Absolute Justice to complete my 10.

YES Spawn #1! Everybody better put some respec on gems name
