The only person I trust on YT to be talking about these Collected editions. Thanks hermano.

Jack Kirby, like his style or not, is a master of scale and impact. He can make any moment land with the exact effect that he wants it to, which is why his cosmic stuff is so effective. He can make things not only look big and expansive, but FEEL that way. He can convey a massive range of emotions on his characters’ faces. When something explodes in a Kirby comic, you can almost hear the bang. It’s so rare for any visual art to feel like that, but Kirby’s does.

They have coffee table books, this book could be the table.

Celestials are literally massive in that book!

Jack Kirby was the reason I started collecting Omnis. My first Omni was Kirby/Lee Fantastic Four, Vol. 2, and it did not disappoint. I’ve followed Kirby’s career in mostly Omni form since then from his 60s Marvel stuff to DC’s 4th World. I had to get the Eternals Omni. Kirby’s the one guy whose less talked about work I will pay good money to have on my shelf.

Can’t believe I’m seeing this monster size for the first time. My gawd, that’s gorgeous! Thanks, my brother.

I have the Omnibus but I am going to buy the moster size, when it comes to Jack Kirby I am weak.

That's a god damn shield

NO JOKE, the MONSTER sized Eternals is GIGANTIC.

Your videos always put a smile on my face Omar!!!

ugh wow...I was just a kid in the 70's when my brother used to collect the Eternals...got me real big into Kirbys style of artwork with his FF run Captain America and his 2001 Space Odyssey adaption was gorgeous. If you think about it he made both marvel and dc's cosmic entity's as big as they are

Damn it ! It had to be Kirby. I can feel the money leaving my wallet already.

That Monster-Size Eternals is beautiful - probably my favorite monster-size book thus far that you've been able to share. Omar, you're right - Kirby's artwork is gorgeous at that size.

I have my "Ditko Is Strange" propped up against my file cabinet, waiting to be read in its entirety...

It's cool to see that this book stands on it's own, without including the most known character roster. We don't need Spider-Man and X-Men etc to appear in everything Marvel to make it a good read. I think i will pick up this book sounds interesting. I liked Kirbys New Gods from DC, so it seems up my alley.

I have the omnie, but damn: I just pulled the trigger on the Monster size book. So good. I kept reading the omnie and kept thinking: This is too small!

The Eternals are a very unique concept for a comic along with new gods it's probably jack Kirby's most personal thing he worked on

Wait hold up, is the whole 19 issue Kirby series in that Monster Edition DAMN! I actually have the original omnibus but I might have to upgrade to this, a thing of beauty

I'm 10 years older than you Omar. I loved Kirby from the start (first comic I was probably 8-9 years old)...it took me about 30 more years before I appreciated (or even LIKED) Ditko though! I have Ditko is Strange and I have the this Eternals Monster size coming.

I just got the omni. I like the Monster-size books but January is too expensive a month for me. Might see if it's available down the road.

Movies should start with comic costumes. For fans. And attraction

The reason I’m here is because I just ordered the omni!🥳

Its funny the premise to this book sounds really interesting but i never even heard of the eternals until a few years ago.

I have a idea for a future video i thought it would be fun to try and map out the web and spectacular Spider-Man epics and see how many volumes for each line. When do you do your haul video for the month? I like to see what you being buying over Christmas?😀 I have just received caped crusader volume 5 today.

My budget is a little too tight for both of these, but I hope the omni stays in print. Man, those Kirby splash pages are glorious!

Amazing book

Wow! I haven't read the Eternals! I am in LOVE!!! Both versions are really handsome!

Look at the size of that whammer! Now that I've gotten into reading more of the big two, it's mainly the mystic and cosmic titles that ring my chimes; there's just something about Sword, Sorcery and Space Gods.

Monster-size book is massive!!! Too big for me though. I was leaning toward getting the Eternals Saga Omnibus but after seeing it reproduces the letter pages from Kirby's run seals the deal for me. Partial toward the Alex Ross cover although I do like Kirby cover too. I, too, have come to appreciate Jack Kirby more the older I became.

It's not Cosmic without the "Kirby dots" when i would draw supes as a kid and a character was posing I was once asked by my Mom"what the stuff around the characters hands was", I got quite irritated when she couldn't grasp that it was "energy". I later learned that what I called "energy" where in fact called "Kirby Dots"

Awesome video Omar!!!

Holy crap thats a big book! I think if u could only afford one of these books, u go with the larger one. Wonderful art.

Absolutely Outstanding book Bought it and it's Awesome

That’s a big boi. I do own a few of these Monster HC books and their stood straight up on end on the floor next to one of my bookcases. I’m not pulling the trigger on this yet. It’s going in my wishlist.

@NMC: To Uncanny Omar, First, Great Review of both the Eternals Omnibus, and Monster Sized book. Since you encourage us to let you know these minor anecdotes. Pronunciation of the Eternal Speedster is: Makkari. Pronounced: Mac-Ah-Rii. Moving on to Mr. Kirby: His Legal Birth name, was Jacob Kurtzberg. Best known by his pen name: Jack Kirby. He was born August 28, 1917. Passed away on February 6, 1994. Unfortunately, I never got to see him at a show. Historical Facts: Jack Kirby, entered the beginning comics industry in the 1930’s drawing various comics features under different pen names, including “Jack Curtiss”, before ultimately settling on Jack Kirby. In 1940 he and Joe Simon created ‘Captain America’ for Timely Comics ( which later becomes the Marvel Comics company). As to appreciation: On a personal note as a young teen artist, I too didn’t get into Jack Kirby, I followed other artists, I didn’t get the BiG Deal with his Art, or the fanaticism that other artists felt about him. It took many years, but now-I see. I don’t think I worship “Jack King Kirby.” It’s just not my thing, as I do not idolize anyone. Past my teen years as I grew, as a comic book reader, a student and an independent Artist on my own, I got to see other artists, Pencilers and Inkers alike. Some good, some great, some bad. That’s when it hit me, similar to what you said. Jack Kirby had that BIG Blocky style of art that he’d visually copyrighted, and is known around the world, as his style. But there was more. As I scrutinized other artists work I’d spend my hard earned money on, I realized that one of Mr. Kirby’s greatest traits, was that he gave every panel and every page - his all. Period. He never cut corners in his art and storytelling, unlike many other artists that did. One of my most disliked things a comic book artist could do, was “cut corners” and in essence cheat the viewer/reader. It’s all right to use a silhouette in a panel, or framing a character in a doorway with an empty background, used sparingly, and if it serves a dramatic beat of the Script. But as a cheap short cut? Naah! At that point, your just cheating your reader/viewer. I feel the same way about Commission Drawings. I never met him at a convention, or at any local “comic book show” as we called them back then. Wish I had. I’ve looked at a lot of copies of Jack Kirby’s Original Pencils - the same feeling permeates every comic book he ever penciled, from War, to Romance, Westerns, Superheroes, to SciFi. JACK KIRBY held nothing back!! He gave us his all!! He could teach volumes to many artists of today. Thank you, KidFlash.

I totally agree with you about not appreciating Kirby's work until later in my life and well after he had passed. A large part of it for me was my disappointment with the Hunger Dogs graphic since that was my first introduction to a New Gods project that Kirby had worked on. Now that I know the behind the scenes story of the production the Hunger Dogs, I place a lot of that blame on the editorial interference by DC corporate. I have gotten several of these King Size collections which are all worth seeking and am really looking forward to the Eternals King size edition. I am hoping we someday get a King Size version of Kirby's 2001 work but I know the chances are slim.

I believe the stuff Jack had intended to use for Thor he used for new gods and maybe some elements of the eternals as well. It would've been like a ragnarok arc or concept being played out in Thor's title at the time but sadly we all know how things got sour and Kirby left. Either way love this man's artwork, creativity, concepts, and genius. I just love Jack Kirby 🔥🔥🔥 but haven't read his new gods or externals stuff yet lol. Gotta get around to them in complete collection format. Hmm maybe in that oversized format in the case of the eternals maybe...maybe lol. Also it was editorial that made him guest star other characters from the Marvel universe into the eternals which Jack didn't want because he wanted to do his own thing while the editorial wanted this to connect to the marvel universe in some way I believe. So there was a bit of conflict there but ultimately Jack had to.

Fast Forward to November 11, 2021 and the monster Eternals is out of print, nowhere to be found and I've known of it's existence now for about 5 minutes. Not that I had over $90 set aside to buy this BUT still it would be nice to be able to DREAM about buying it for awhile. My Dream: "If I eat peanut butter sandwiches for a few weeks, or shower in cold water, or starve my cats..." So many ways I could dream about buying the Monster Sized Eternals. Or, maybe a wealthy person would remember me in their will soon so I can buy this thing on Ebay for US $186.85.

I dislike the old school comics but I can make an exception for The Eternals and X-Men 🤌🏾

Clearly one of those old-timers, I love Kirby's work (and most of the SA as well as GA) and that Monster edition looks great - just ordered !! Not so keen on the omni though. The art looks even more amazing in the Monster one

I love these monster sized books. Unfortunately, I have limited space so I bought the Eternals omnibus instead. However, I bought the Jim Lee X Men XXL book. I had to have that one!

Would Marvel bother fixing the misprint on the back of the book that incorrectly lists the contents? The back of the book says it has issues like 1-11 or something if I’m not mistaken

Wow that is insane. I had no idea it was that much bigger than the Omni.

This looks amazing, Man I hate that I can't get my 38 year old self to read comics. I got THe New Gods, Dark Knight Returns and some Marvel special team. I want to have this and I want to want to read it. I'm just used to cartoons. And time is shorter and shorter because of family. But man great artwork, great story. I really want to consume this...

I own the "Behold...Galactus" Monster-sized book and have been waiting for this to be released. I immediately put in my order on Instocktrades for a copy and a couple other GNs. Thanks for letting me know the book has been released.

it's incredible how beauty is lost after the great artist of the past..the new art is empty, like in the movies, in the books...everywhere.

Wow that beauty

Hi

Big Jack's best

I'm buying the omni once it goes on sale

I won't be buying either, not because I don't want them but bc I need to save money and I've long ago ran out of shelf space lol. But man do these looks beautiful. I've also grown more appreciation for Kirby's art as I've gotten older.

Alex Ross cover totally rocks :D

King Kirby!!!!!....and love Walt Simonson!!!!....I've got some eternals signed by him to me..such a nice guy!!!!

Cowabunga fellow minties 🤙

Just ordered this omni last night! Should be great! Wish we could somehow get reprints of that old Kirby 2001 series! I think that's where Machine Man made first appearance

Reading this right now. All I can say is “Puma man, he flies like a mooo-ronnnnn…” Seriously, go check out this episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 (Pumaman), I legit think they based this movie off of Jack Kirby’s Eternals.

15:21 B-E-A-utiful!

I will buy both. Monster size for my niece, ill have the omnibus

Impressive video and check out that MONSTER SIZE BOOK!

Art looks amazing but how’s the story? Is this worth reading?

Science has gone too far. David Gabriel was so busy asking if he could that he didn't ask if he should. I don't think I've ever seen a book that tall in my life!

This might be the most visually appealing Kirby stuff I've ever seen, but is the writing any good?

Are we sure this book even fits through a door? I kid I kid. No way in heck could I fit this anywhere, but it sure looks good in this vid! Appreciate these vids as always, Omar. Seriously! :) Algorithm gang!

Currently reading this and why oh why is Thor 300 missing?! It contains a major storyline twist. Adding insult to injury I have Thor Epic 11 which starts at 303. Thor Epic 10 hasn’t been released....

would you say the omnibus would be a good read for someone who doesn't know much about the marvel universe? ive only read the todd McCfarlane amazing spiderman omnibus for marvel, but this seems interesting.

I have a question: for Harley Quinn omnibus, does that include stories from the rebirth deluxe edition books?

All those poor trees that were used for this book

ralph machio the karate kid guy ???

Do you think we will ever get some inhumans in omnibus format aside from the events they are tied in with

OMG!!! My postman would kill me!

Is Eternals good for im a really big fan of Cosmic Marvel?

you fergot that jack kirby was doing comics for dc comics from the 50s and 60s the challengers of the unknown

The Hulk never appeared in Kirby's original run. Fight me.

kinda odd you reviewed the eternals but not new gods which was before the eternals,since the Eternals was based of his new gods when he returns to marvel in 1975 for 2 years

That is one big boy

Thanks for the vid...I'll be getting the oversized original series. I love the Doc Strange book, but storage is indeed an issue. I have mine stacked with artist edition type books for now laying flat on the bottom shelf of a bookcase.

Is everyone on that cover related? Their faces seem to say so ;)

Does any one know if the Eternals: To Slay A God/Manifest destiny by Charles Knauf getting a reprint?

Hey Omar what is the height of the monster size book in Cm?Just have to know if it will fit my shelf

OMG that monster size is huge!

I don't like Jack Kirby's style but its cool if you do

I'm sorry but I have to say no to Monster Size. It's monstrously big.

Let's Gomar

Haye

The one time I’d advocate for vertical video. lol

Omar- any idea how the monster size compares against IDW Artist's Editions?

i feel like the "eternals and deviants" are just like hinduism's "devas and asuras"

Glossy paper = not for me.

Thats a real monster book

Thats not a book thats an entire wall lol

Poor DC comic book writers who got fired.

I was going to say that Monster-Size is comically large but then felt shame on at least two levels.

Ajak played by a girl..?! Come on Omar, that girl is Salma Hayek! **instantly playing GIF in my mind**

These books are beautiful to look at...but they are super boring for long stretches . Like driving across Canada or watching Blade Runner

Too much book for me lol

I have to store my Marvels monster-sized in it's plastic holder in the gap between my bed and my wall, I have literally no where else to put it LOL
