Am I a new reader? No. Am I still checking off which of these I still need?? Absolutely I am!

Omar's beard is like the venom symbiote. Even when you think it's gone it's a part of you and always returns.

1. Flash By Mark Waid 2. JLA by grant Morrison 3. Batman by Paul Dini 4. Animal Man by Grant Morrison 5. Gotham Central by Ed Brubaker 6. Infinite Crisis 7. Wonder woman by George pure 8. JSA by Geoff Johns 9. Sandman By Neil Gaiman 10. Superman by Peter tomasi

I may not be a new reader but I am just starting to get into the Omni rabbit hole so it’s always appreciated to see Omar do one of these videos lol

Don't seem yourself short Omar, you r Superman!

Love when you do a top 10 video We all really like hearing your opinions 👍

Oh man I love Peter J. Tomasi's Superman, what an excellent run.

In 2020, I started getting into comics. One of the first things I did was search for the top 10 list of best DC and Marvel comics. Your video was one that I watched. We are the same age, I have 2 daughters too, and we both like X-Men. I started watching more and buying your recommendations. I haven't been disappointed yet. So yes, these videos are great, thanks for doing them.

i referred to your original list when i first discovered the Omnibus game a few years ago! Thanks!!!

ANIMAL MAN IS STILL INSANE

Just got into Star girl and I love the show. I hope they get a Star girl omnibus . But I’ll check this out

No way! I remember years and years ago when I used the og video as a guide. Thank you for doing a new one! Do your top 10 favorite dc omnis next!!!

This is perfect. I’m not new by any means, but I am new to collecting omnibuses and your lists prove essential to me.

I would have added The Question but I’m biased, it’s my favorite omnibus in my collection.

Absolutely love your top 10 LIST!

Your videos helped me out when I first started getting into comics/collected editions! Always great to see videos like these.

Amazing list bro ! Love when you make videos like this bro ! Gets me excited for DC all over again !

Nice, glad to see this series return!

Thank you

Fantastic video! Have most of these and want the few I don’t have. Didn’t realize all the JSA’s were back in print.

Really great list, hitting the core heroes, an event, some Vertigo stuff and some smaller series. The only book I would add if you could have 11 would be Geoff Johns Green Lantern, a perfect place to learn about the Corps and just an amazing read overall.

I can't believe Flash by Waid vol. 2 still hasn't been announced, it's driving me wild

I’m really loving the improved intro and you being visible in a box as you turn through the Omni pages. Side note: anyone else kinda upset how recent marvel event omnis aren’t mapped the best? I usually like main event issues towards the end or at least the middle of an omnibus.

This video was very much needed

Great video. Thank you. I am Mostly a Marvel reader but have most of these on the to read pile. I also have GL by Johns so hope that is also good for novice DC readers. Really looking forward to Gotham Central & JSA in particular

This was a great help im not new but been out of the game for more than a year just getting back into omnis now so this and the marvel list have been great.

As much as I love Gotham Central, I would swap it out for Loeb and Sale’s Batman Omni. But I love this list.

Love this video! Been watching your stuff! Always glad to see more content! Still trying to build up my collection to read since I aim to be a comic artist and author one day!

Revenge of the beard. Love it. Not exactly a newby anymore but damn.... I need so many of these still.

I'm far from a new reader, but have never gotten around to reading the Perez Wonder Woman run. Seeing you page through the art made me go out to my LCS and grab the first volume today! Just ran through the first handful of issues and I am in awe of the artwork.

I really am curious about Animal Man! Need to add that one to my collection!

Damn if you only posted this a few days ago 😂 I took the leap and bought Green Lantern by Geoff Johns Omni 1, and I’m really excited to start. ❤ your channel bro.

I really hope we get The Flash by Mark Waid Vol. 2 Omnibus soon!! I really enjoyed Vol. 1!!

Just got the last few issues I needed for Grant Morrisons Animal Man cant wait to read it

I always recommend checking out Ultimate Spider-Man for a new reader.😎

Omar, you do an amazing job, bro! Keep up the good work. I thought I knew comics well until I saw your channel. You have convinced me to give JSA by Geoff Johns a try. All 3 omnis are in my Amazon cart. Keep up the good work! You're doing great! Hopefully one day I can throw money at your channel. Oh yeah, go big blue! 🤣😉

Fun video!

Yay! Omar doing another Top 10. Thanks bud. Love these videos ❤

Great video idea.

Gotham Central (and Catwoman by Brubaker) were the first DC comics I read in like 10-15 years when I came back to reading comics. I hadn't picked up a DC comic since Batman Beyond was still on TV!

Great list, Omar! I know that I am NOT a new reader, but The Flash by Mark Waid has been calling to me! Again, thanks for the video!

thanks for the updated list! i only started getting Omnis last week, but Pereze WW and Gotham Central seem to be constant in lists i see everywhere. alrady spent too much $ already, so gonna have to wait a bit before i buy more.

As a new reader (been wanting to start my collection since I was a kid) thank you!!

What are the most fun omnis? Ones with more action or fun dynamics and not so much deaths and tragedy?

So glad JSA is on this list i recently read it was fantastic worthy every penny i spent on it.i have gotham central and Batman by dini,i read it also but im planing on re-read because it is fantastic stuff.

Could you do a list on whats worth reading from the new 52? I hear good things about Animal Man, Booster Gold and some Batman but I still don't know much about 52 stories.

Great video, as always. It's gonna cost me, though...

Great list - I have most on my shelf yet to be read but out of that list I have read WW by Perez which is absolutely fantastic and Sandman, which is probably my favourite comic book. I read mostly Marvel stuff recently but I think it's time to get back to some DC books.

Great list. Jla was awesome. Animal man and Infinite crisis are on my Reading pile.

This is your best recent video

My personal list would be 1. JSA Johns 2. Long Halloween Loeb 3. Green Arrow Grell 4. Green Lantern Johns 5. Infinite Crisis Johns 6. Superman Tomasi

I await the updated edition of this video once the Superman by John Byrne finally drops.

I just picked up Absolute Sandman Vol. 1 yesterday. Thanks a lot for bringing that edition to my attention. After I’m done with Sandman, I’ll go for Absolute Swampthing. Maybe there’s hope for DC yet. I know I’m hard on their publishers, but I’m secretly rooting for them. DC fan for life.

Good stuff here 😎

I'm going to join the chorus of people hoping that we get a Flash by Waid Omnibus V.2 sometime soon. My bookshelf demands it! Great video, Omar! I always enjoy Top 10 lists.

What hurts my heart about this video is that if DC published a Superman by John Byrne, it would make this list! C'mon DC!!!

9/10 for me! I guess that means I'm (almost) officially no longer a new reader. Thanks to this channel for Sherpa-ing me through the world of comics

First thanks for a such a great video and for noting some great titles. Would you happen to have a video on best way to store Omni’s? Some say upways, others say sideways. All I can say is there have been a few that the pages have fallen forward from being stored upways and I ended up replacing with individual GN and now avoid Omni’s as I am scared of damaging them. Appreciate any thoughts you may have and If you have a video, that would be great too. Thanks.

Planetary!

Very thought through list. There’s one for each of the trinity. One justice league, one JSA that introduced golden age, Sandman that will drive new readers to Lucifer, Hellblazer and more. Gotham central for a look at ordinary people in the DC universe. The only ones I will add is John’s GL to go with Waid’s Fladh. As well as the upcoming Justice league dark: rebirth omnibus. JLD is perfect for new readers that like horror, fantasy and introduction to the magic side of DC( sandman also fills this niche, which is why I think your list is very well thought through) Regardless of what people’s opinion are for DC directions today, DC’s old content alone is enough to fill shelves.

Omar, you should ask DC and Marvel to provide you with a sales comparison from before and after you started this channel. I’m 100% sure that their omnibus sales have gotten better. Love this channel!

Thank you! I'm trying to get those JSA books in the EU but the distribution of those books are a mess. Anyway it's funny how you promote the DC stuff and the company doesn't give a damn.

Number one. Custom bound Year Two Omni

That Paul Dini Batman omni is pure gold.

Hoping we will soon see Swamp Thing by Alan Moore Omnibus in this list..!

Excellent choice of DC omnibus books . The Grant Morrison Animals Man and JLA omnibus books are great books to read and also Mark Waid and Geoff John, Flash and JSA omnibus books . All three writers understand the history of DC comics and characters so yeah definitely reccomend put these omnibus books highly for new readers to read. Wonder woman by George Perez that one omnibus books that I would like to get and also Infinite Crisis omnibus book. I got some of the Infinite Crisis books but I feel like to upgrade for big fat omnibus book. There are some omnibus books that I feel that should be in top twenty list John Byrne Man of Steel omnibus books , Death and Return of Super Man by Jurgens and Ordway, Justice League International by Giffen and Dematties. And also the Batman omnibus books by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo. Keep on going Omar you are doing a good job and I also like your live Saturday show you and your wife are doing a great job. Excellent 🦸‍♂️🦹‍♂️📚👍👍

I am new to your Channel. Hello, from germany. You are the reason I‘ve started to collect Omnibus editions. And the reason my girlfriend left me, but its ok. After 6 Hours of Reading the Justice League Dark Omnibus, i forgot the Break up Somehow 😂

I bought the Johns Flash Omnibus with the intention to start from that point. And then I heard about the Waid Omnibus and decided to wait for that. Now by the time I bought the Waid Omnibus they’ve announced the Messner-Loeb Omni. At this point I’m just going to wait until all of Flash Of in Omnibus/Deluxe.

Small stories by Paul Dini. Sounds interesting. Might be buy.

Hi Omar, When can we expect an overview of the Miles Morales by Saladin Ahmed Omnibus?

My wholehearted recommendations from this list... JLA by Grant Morrison JSA by Geoff Johns Animal Man by Grant Morrison Sandman by Neil Gaiman

I own 4 out of 10 already, not bad! Unless we're counting my Absolute Sandman Vol. 1 as a stand in for the omnibus, then it's 5! My collection has come quite far since I joined the omni game, and it's all thanks to this awesome channel! Thanks for the video Omar, it was a good one as always 🙏 here's hoping for a Marvel 2023 Edition list too!

A Suicide Squad omnibus by John Ostrander would be great!

Omar with beard > omar without beard 😂

I was going to have the reading order of Crisis on infinite earth, identity crisis, infinite crisis, the 52. Then you mentioned gotham central ties into infinite crisis, should I read that one before IC?

Green lantern by johns Batman by Loeb and sale Infinite crisis Gotham city central Flash by johns Jsa by johns Jla by morrison Sandman Wonderwoman by simone Aquaman by johns

I give the randy marsh to cherry pop tarts to dc but I will support the channel by commenting liking and watching

Omar do you think you could ask Marvel when Captain Marvel by Kelly Thompson Omnibus Vol. 2 will be out? It was announced for May but wasn’t in the catalog

As much as I love the Infinite Crisis event, I would pull it and replace with Green Lantern by Geoff Johns…

Hey, Omar. I have got a question. Why DC prints runs only by author and not by...mmm..."story" itself? For example, we have Batman by Paul Dini, PJ Tomasi, Superman by Morrison, Tomasi, ecc... while in Marvel we have this kind of printing but also normal chronological printing like Uncanny X-Men, Amazing Spider-Man, Fantastic Four ecc...? It would be better at some point, because there are omnibus that feels a little bit like axed because of the missing issues, like Dini's one. Or there are outstanding left out like one or two issues during Superman Rebirth run written by Idon'tRemeberWho. I hope you understand my question XD However: excellent choices!

No Geoff Johns Green Lantern?? is it out of print? anyway, great list; my fave DC omni is Gotham Central. its a great read!

I think Dini's Batman is absolutely the best omnibus intro for newcomers to the character. I'd be hesitant to recommend someone like Morrison for example, as I feel his work is more for big fans who have context of the character.

This seems more like your 10 favorite DC books than the best books for new readers. Waid Flash is great, but that's all about Wally West, why would a new reader want to start with him when every version of the Flash in modern media is Barry Allen? Infinite Crisis for a new reader? Do you want them to quit in frustration? Love the Superman by Tomasi choice, that's a great intro to current Superman. Dini Batman is great, but I think Morrison Batman makes more sense as it introduces readers to Damian. My 10 for new readers are: Superman by Tomasi JLA by Morrison Sandman by Gaiman Wonderwoman by Perez (I kept these 4) Teen Titans Volume 2 by Wolfman and Perez Flash by Johns volume 3 (deals with the return of Barry Allen as well as Flashpoint so I think works well enough as an intro to that character) Aquaman by Peter David (Officially announced, so I can count it!) Green Lantern by Johns (really surprised you didn't have a Green Lantern book in here!) Justice League International by Giffen and Demattis (A completely different team from Morrison's and a great intro to a bunch of lesser known characters. Batman by Morrison volume 1

Just ordered JSA Omnibus Vol. 1. Do you reccomend reading both compendiums of starman first?

Whats the reading order if i want to get into infinite crisis? Its so complicated😭 Do i need to read crises on infinite earth first or what?

Man, i honestly thought you would recommend Green Lantern by Johns, because THAT, i think, is quintessential reading for New DC readers

I prefer the Absolute Sandman series. 2 more volumes, but the spines aren't under as much duress and they're also a bit larger and easier to read. I bought the omnibi first to avoid buying the Absolutes but then changed my mind when I saw how overloaded the omnibi are.

Teen Titans by Geoff John's will always be on my list for new readers ❤

What were your issues with justice league new52? That's my favorite justice league run

Superman is my favorite hero so I Want the book you go over here. Just wondering, does this have any overlap/double dip issues with Superman Reborn or Doomsday Clock

Good list, although i am not sure If they are all for new readers. I agree on Flash, animal man, Gotham Central. Wonder woman and Sandman. Superman only because of the lack of alternatives(maybe death of supie). I would not Take Infinite crisis (Too complex) at all, for Batman the Loeb/Sale book, for JLA the JLI or the 52 book would be Better. I love JSA but i would Take a Green lantern book (Johns book 1 or blackest night). Book 11 To maybe replace crisis, Gotham Central or animal man would be Preacher.

I like Catwoman as a character but I have always been a fan of Batman and Zatanna marrying. I think they compliment each other well. She's a badass and she cares about Bruce and he cares about her. Plus, she's drop dead gorgeous!😍 Somebody make it happen!

I just got Crisis on Infinite Earths. Pretty tough read ngl 😆. I have to admit that i started it and then went to Strange Adventures, WW Historia etc. COIE is tough! But im gonna get back to it

I'd add to the list Green Arrow by Mike Grell, and New Teen Titans by Wolfman and Perez too.

Hola Omar. Mi hermano. Excelente lista... solo déjame hacer una pregunta... ¿tu copia de JSA tiene dobladas algunas hojas? (creo que se alcanza a ver un poco cuando tomas el omnibus) el mío también está así... ¿qué hacer? abrazo y gracias por el buen trabajo.

Batman jeph loeb Tim sale in my favorite dc omnibus

Throughout that JSA omnibus, I kept forgetting character names and powersets and sometimes even what the villain was trying to accomplish. Felt like it needed more background and narration, it assumes too much pre-knowledge on the part of the reader.

👍

Can we get a top 20

Fantastic selections. Aside from The Flash and JSA, I've read and own all of these, and they are some of the best DC stories ever published. I dont, however, think Infinite Crisis is that good for a begginner (altough its one of my absolute favorite events), as it deals with concepts and characters that might be challenging for a new reader. I'd replace Infinite Crisis with the Geoff Johns Green Lantern omnis. I'd also replace Gotham Central with either Batman by Loeb/Sale or Hellblazer by Garth Ennis
