I love how you show the books and flip through them as you talk about them. This is a lot better than people just talking but not actually showing how the art and book looks like. Please continue this in all videos and other suggestion I would give is you can have a title plate type thing displaying the name of comic book in the bottom of video when you are talking about them

My Favorite IDW collected editions have to be the TMNT IDW Collection

I have read every single issue ever created for TMNT and absolutely have to agree with you. Is the best adaptation of the turtles ever. I'm glad they reach 100 issue mark and love what they are doing so far. I can't wait for The Last Ronin to drop. Peter and Eastman are back! 🔥🔥🔥

My Favorite IDW Books 1.Transformers 2.Tmnt 3.Ghostbusters 4.Parker 5.The Spider-King 6.GI.Joe 7.Locke & Key 8.Ragnarok 9.Fallen Angel 10.The Wizard's Tale

You guys got yourself another well deserved Patreon subscriber. Thank you for keeping us all entertained during these hard times! 🤘🏻

Martini edition - here I come. Loved the novels before the Cooke collections came out. Cooke was the perfect artist to illustrate Parker.

I'm still praying they reprint those Ghostbusters hc's.

Tmnt is amazing. Rekindled my love for the turtles.

Omar - thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU for including Walter Simonson's Ragnarok in your list! He's my favorite artist, and I agree that his take on Thor is the BEST!

Okay. I'll admit I zoned out a bit while you were talking about Parker. I was just fixated on Cooke's art. It looked like a classic noir film. I half expected to see Humphrey Bogart at one point. Great list Omar! I wish IDW would put out an Inhumanoids comic. Stay safe everyone!

A list so nice I had to watch it twice. Thanks Omar!!

I have never heard of some of these books, but that Wizard book looks gorgeous.

Glad Spider King is getting some love!

Phase 2 for transformers was the BEST, I loved the 2 series that then came back together. I need to check out spider king. Ghostbusters is amazing from IDW. 1000% agree about tmnt its the best incarnation ever, I always say on my reviews how everyone should definitely check out the series...so amazing. My one regret was I didnt jump on the HC versions as well. G.i. joe all the series I love childhood memories for me. Locke and Key was one of my top 5 fav series, I loved the art. O.O I may need that omni! Awesome top 10.

Your lists are very helpful for new readers like me.

Wonderful list. I’ve only got the original TMNT which is the only thing close. I also love the format, Omar. Having you discuss in a picture in picture, while you flick through the pages on full screen. So good to see the content. Better than the other comic sites. Cheers

I absolutely fell in love with TMNT all over again! Was a huge fan as a kid then a few years back you did a review of the IDW line and sold me. I love the story and the art is amazing!! Really pumped up they stepped up with the hardcover releases and getting the next two editions within about 6 months 😃

Loving Transformers, on volume 4 at the minute of phase 1 at the minute.

I have only read TMNT,Canto,Locke and Key and Maxx all of them are aweosome

Awesome list 👍 Ever since I got a random KZfaq recommendation for your IDW tmnt review I’ve really been enjoying the series, read the first few issues online then got vol 1 hardback and loved it with vol 2 on the way, really been excited to see what else this company has to offer, I’ve mainly and will always be been a dc fan who occasionally dabbles in marvel, but I’ve been wanting to expand my tastes and discovering your channel has really helped me make some bold choices especially with your image and dark horse lists and now this one. Hope to see you do more in the future for maybe dynamite, Boom studios etc. Hope you and the family are happy and healthy, looking forward to your future content

I haven't read to much IDW-comics. But what i have read, i really like! TMNT, Ghostbusters (probably my favorites), Transformers and G.I. Joe Classic. Gonna try to get more Transformers and also the G.I. Joe IDW collections. And an honorable mention to their collection of TMNT Mirage comics. (ultimate collection?)

The IDW Dick Tracy collections are phenomenal.

Can't wait for new Locke and Key comics

Great call on Parker - one of the finest graphic novels I own. I was as big a fan of TMNT as a child of the late 80s and early 90s could be, but I'm just not feeling TMNT after the first one and a half OHCs. It's fine (I'm not complaining about the quality of the story or art), but it just feels like my time for loving the turtles is something best left in my nostalgic memory. I'll finish up the second book to see if something clicks for me.

Rocketeer deluxe edition - a classic with breathtaking art! They also publish some great european stuff, such as Gibrat. I am hooked on Parker, I will check this out...

Loooove locke & key. I got the slipcase of the softcovers, been hoping for a hardcover/omnibus of it, so I'll be all over that when it comes out. Same for Ragnorok if they ever do an omnibus of that, Walt Simonson is a MUST.

FINALLY someone covers IDW with respect! one of my top favorite comic publishers of all time. Thank you for this. Any love for TITAN? Robotech?

PAD's Fallen Angel is in my top 10 books of all time. It needs to be released in OHC format (including the DC stuff) and I would love for it to have a more solid ending. If I remember right, it kinda left off on... not really a cliffhanger but definitely a new direction that left the story open for a lot more.

thanks for mentioning Ragnarok not my favorite idw but great and i dont hear it mentioned often! Simonson's my favorite thor too...love jason arron's run but uncle Walt gets too many nostalgia points to close the gap :) really splitting hairs though cause they are both great!

Thanks so much, Omar! Great video and fantastic editing! Only imagine how long it took to fully edit it but it doesn’t go unnoticed! Locke & Key is by far my favorite IDW series. Also really love Ghostbusters. I’ve heard great things about Ragnarok and this video gave me the extra nudge. I’d really like to try TMNT but don’t know if I can commute to getting another 10+ hardcovers. Be safe!

when i was 13, i bought fallen angel when it came out purely down to his xfactor issues. i dont remember anything about it only that I enjoyed it alot!

Oh goodness! The Parker Martini Edition!

I was wondering where The Maxx was before the honorable mentions, haha :) We fr need an omnibus or compendium. A compendium collecting the whole run would be awesome!

This is a really good video format for highlighting smaller publishers. Vault, Aftershock, Oni Press, Drawn & Quarterly, Black Mask, Top Shelf, Magnetic Press, and Archaia would all be good subjects for these lists.

Got Locke & Key this month. My first comic volumes. Hyped about reading them!

Your videos are great, I love some of the picks, great choices!

I need to get Ragnarok

I don't even read comics, but I watch all your vids. Love yall's channel; keep up the good work! You have a great community here.

Excellent video! And as always, my wallet will now take another hit 😅 I need to check out Transformers and Ragnarok for sure. PS. So happy to see the G.I. Joe comics getting some love! I’m currently collecting all the TPBs - got 1-16 thus far. Keep up the quality content, buddy 👊🏽😊

I haven't dug in yet, but I just got the first TMNT hardback this last week. Thanks for all the times you have recommended the series!

You're not the only one that fell in love with Canto, it's still ongoing so who knows maybe it'll make your top 10 next time. 😉 Ps. You should check out Jen & The Holograms, I know I know but hear me out it's by Kelly Thompson and Sophie Campbell.

We need some reprints of those Maxx HC, one of my favourite stories and the artwork is from another world. Big fan of Sam Keith

Lock & key is a masterpiece It cool

Ragnarok is def one of my favorite comics, IDW or otherwise! Walt Simonson is just a master storyteller and I miss those old school writer/artists creations.

I haven't read many graphic novels from IDW. But I'm definitely picking up Fallen Angel and The Wizard's Tale!

That transformers looks REAL goodm

Idk if u done these before but u should do this for certain genres like crime horror fantasy psychological trippy western etc. Dope video tho

Nice video, as always. I really want those TMNT books, but damn, they are expensive and they are a lot! Probably I will end up ordering the next time I have an awful day... or an awesome day, maybe :D Either get them to celebrate or to cheer myself up ;-)

I've never been a big licensed comic guy, so I haven't really read much IDW. I had no idea that Walt Simonson had written more Thor. Definitely going to check it out, thanks Omar!

Could you do a top 10 on Boom studios and a top 10 on Valiant comics

Glad to see some GI Joe love. I'm a die hard Joe fan. I was doing the hardcover editions until they cancelled them. Damn shame if you ask me. I would have proudly bought the complete classic series. Even though I have nearly every issue. The comics by Hama are the way to go for classic Joe. He wrote every file card for the figures as well. I got Mr. Hama to sign my vol 1 Hardcover. My younger self would be jealous of my Joe toy collection now. Lol. When I think of the Joes as characters, I think of the comics; the cartoon hasn't aged as well. And if the Cobra series you mentioned was the one with Chuckles going undercover, it was indeed a good read. If you liked that Brubaker and Phillips' Incognito omnibus is a great undercover/spy book. Seeing the Norse stuff made me wish for an omnibus of Vertigo's Northlanders. That was some excellent reading. I'll have to check out a couple of these on the list. Been meaning to get to Locke & Key for a minute. Thanks for the video!

I thought I was the only one who knew about The Wizard's Tale. Lol. I got a limited edition signed by Busiek and Wenzel back in '97 when it was published by Homage Comics. Going to hunt down a copy of Fallen angel. Thanks for your videos like this and reviews. I always find new stuff I want to read.

My favorite Peter David run was probably his run on Young Justice.

It kills me that they didn't keep going with the GI Joe hardcovers. I can't believe they weren't selling well enough to continue them.

That was really useful for me. Parker is a book that would never have come up on my radar but now i want it badly 😀. The Wizard’s Tale, too. I’ve never been a fan of Transformers or TMNT but i have to admit this video has me questioning if i need to dive in.

Thanks for the video. Out of your top ten, I’m definitely interested in Fallen Angel, Spider King, and Parker. I hadn’t heard of any of them beforehand. Love discovering new stuff through this channel. Keep up the great work.

Oh shoot, I totally saw Parker at my local used book store today for cheap. Probably gonna have to go back and pick that up.

Great review. For me, its Locke & Key and Simonson's Ragnarok. Dave4 was also pretty cool and now we have Usagi over there!

Great selection of books, especially the Darwyn Cooke one. My favourites of IDW have to be the artist editions (as well as the artisan editions)

Can you do dynamite comics next?

It's amazing when you says " this one of the best books on my shelf " lol

Never heard of the wizard's tale it sounds great.

Spider king is so good

The Martini Edition of Darwyn Cooke’s Parker is just incredible. As for IDW published series rather than the format they’re collected in, Locke & Key probably takes the top spot. Transformers: Lost Light is pretty great as well. And, The Maxx is *technically* printed by IDW, so I’ll throw that in too. Lastly, Box Office Poison has some beautiful cartooning from Alex Robinson, not even to mention the beautiful and moving story.

It looks like I should pic up some IDW

hi Omar thanks for this video may I suggest a video about the printing companies a bit different dc marvel idw image dark etc and their masterpieces along the years . in terms of sales ... and their main character and history example first omnibus ever printed by each, :) I am sure your up to the task :) keep it up I really enjoy it

Absolutely love Fallen Angel. It’s my favorite Peter David book of all-time. Cannot find the first omnibus, however.

My favorite is definitely TMNT ❤

Just got my copy of A Wizard's Tale in the mail and the TPB is the size/dimensions of an OHC!

DMn wanted that ghostbusters total containment and it’s out of print.

When I was kid I use read so many Transformers and G.I. Joe comic books from the 1980s. I do like the Idw Publishing comic books and graphic novels but I find that they are extremely hard for me to follow. Most of the Transformers comic books like are the ones written by Bob Budiansky and UK writer Simon Furman. I also like some of the Classic G.I. Joe stories written by Larry Hama. I do enjoy the new stuff from IDW Publishing but I they are extremely hard to follow. I miss The Cartoons and Comic Books from the 1980s. Peter David also wrote some Star Trek comic books for DC comics back in the day. I remember his Star Trek stories are really good also.

I want that shirt!

Gi joe cobra 👍

Quick question - the G.I. Joe Cobra series from honorable mentions - is that written by Christos Gage and Costa, drawn by Fuso and featuring Chuckles? There are a few different titles with "Cobra" and I want to pick the right one.

Do Top 10 comic book cover artists

My Man! Spider King was phenomenal, TMNT is unreal, Parker Martini Ed arrived today and I'm holding out for an oversized Ragnarok collected trilogy. The Maxx was darkly mesmirizing; definitely checkout the MTV show if you haven't. With the wild success of Joker my hope is that they adapt it and release that cancelled Maxx compendium.

Off-topic, but have you guys watched JL Dark Apokolips War yet ?? Absolutely amazing !

It's seems Ghostbusters and TMNT Vol 1 are hard to find now unless willing to pay crazy prices.

G.I.Joe Classic G.I.JOE Special Missions G.I.JOE Yearbook All are my Favourites

Parker - It's Donald Westlake. Read the whole series, sadly Cooke passed away before he could adapt more. Because Butcher's Moon would have been jaw dropping.

Great list like the rest! Never heard of Ragnarok from IDW, I gotta get this. Have you read Joe Hill's IDW collection btw?

It would be cool to know your fav. Fantagraphics collections 😊

Isnt IDW going to bankcrupt? I read somewhere that they stop TMNT at #105..

I had no idea that these Transformers books were kept in print, it put me off trying them when I noticed that there were OOP volumes in the collection a while back. I’ll definitely check them out now at some point!

Your lists are good as always So there are 2 volumes of Fallen Angel? How good is the action? Heard it has a crossover with Angel. Will also check out Spider King as well

Any idea when that Parker martini edition is coming out? I know the last call will be out towards the end of the year.

Godzilla! 🦎

Nice list, do you know of any other good classic fantasy comic books? Knights, wizards, magic and stuff like that

Is there really nothing that I need to know before reading Transformers Phase II? I had the toys as a kid and have seen the live action movies and that’s it!

Do you have any inside info in what IDW is doing with usagi Yojimbo ? Will there be HC collected editions?

Would love to see your favorite 2000AD stories and your favorite Judge Dredd story lines (if you are reading of course)

You read much of larry hamas IDW gi joe continuation past 155 omar? Great video by the way

I hope I can find those Transformers and GI Joe comics in Europe. Thx for your great video’s

Hello Near Mint, do you know if the Complete Collections for GI Joe hardcover books got discontinued? There are only 9 volumes and was wondering if Volume 10-15 was ever going to come out. Thank you.

Thanks for another fun video! My favorite IDW collection is one that you didn't mention, namely The Rocketeer: The Complete Adventures Deluxe HC. This oversized, slipcased collection of Dave Stevens' Rocketeer stories is just fantastic! I love Walter Simonson's run on Thor, but I haven't picked up Orion or Ragnarok. I reckon I need 'em both. The Ragnarok HC you show in the video looks EPIC! Speaking of Simonson, here's a great interview he did just 3 days ago (May 3). He spends some time talking about his love of Norse myths, the Lee/Kirby run on Thor, and Kirby's Fourth World. Very interesting stuff. The interview is 48 minutes long. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ja2BlNF0tLTDaHU.html

So far my favorite IDW deluxe edition or collection has been the Ninja Turtles I believe it is the greatest incarnation of them yet. 😄

I see on Amazon that Parker: The Martini Edition - Last Call is available for preorder and has a release date of May 11th? Is this just a new printing or does it have different stories?

Grew up with Transformers, Ghostbusters, Turtles and GiJoe Not a fan of Ghostbusters or Turtles I can get into Tures more than Ghostbusters. Had the Gijoe comics.. Series got over the top at the end. Good run. Transformers series looks hard. My boy loves all of them

Glory The complete series overview/review....when?

Any idea where I could purchase the TMNT color classic paperback Vol 2. Can’t find it… purchased vol 1 & 3 in hopes down the line I can purchase Vol 2.
