    OMG! That is one MONSTER of a book. Steranko's art really pops out from the pages. You just need some late 1960's psychedelic music (Jefferson Airplane, The The Doors or Jimi Hendrix or the 'Austin Powers' soundtrack... behave... 😎😏) playing in the background to compliment it. An amazing work of art. Wow!!
    Great work Alicia... that book is as tall as her 😊

But, WoW what I love on this giant volume is the Page Designs, WoW! And the colors! Though they weren’t that bright back in the late 1960’s. But still, the overall panel/page design is just 🤩 WoW!! / Quick question, can you tell me, or find out in near future, and Report back, through your secret sources: Will Marvel give this Giant Size treatment to other Creators/Story runs? And if yes, which titles might those be? - Thank You.

    Now that book is fricking massive. But more spotlight and love for silver age artists and stories??? I'm totally in 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 also it's kinda funny that Steranko's art has all this psychedelic vibe going on yet he never did Dr. Strange to my knowledge. His art would've fit right into thay book. But man Steranko's art on shield is stunning to say the least and I wish he did a longer run with cap.

    Alicia (Alyssa?) is such a cutie! Also, Omar, I like how you slyly tease the War of the Realms omnibus. I'm really looking forward to this. Dauterman's beautiful work needs to be presented bigger!
    Wow, this Steranko book looks amazing. I like these monster-sized books from Marvel as a more affordable version of the artist's editions and the vibranium / titanium editions. I keep all of these editions flat on a dresser in the guest bedroom, along with some oversized comic strip books.
    I was thinking this would be a "best of" collection, and it's mind-boggling to find out Marvel is presenting all of Steranko's SHIELD work in this format. Hopefully sales are good enough on this lovely monument that Marvel will bring out a second Steranko volume with his Captain America issues, X-Men issues, romance tale, horror tale, covers and Marvel posters. I'm doing my part and ordering it today.
    I would love to see similar volumes by Arthur Adams and Neal Adams.

    Marvel Super King-Size Editions.."Our books are bigger than a cute eight year old girl. Ask Omar, he'll tell you. " If they ever decide to make omnibuses this size, I'm all in. Of course, I'll need to build a new house and start to work out but it would be totally worth it.

    I’m curious how much Steranko was involved in this. I know he was involved with the idw book, even designed the cover and layout. When I met Steranko I wanted him to sign my Nick Fury agent of Shield collected works that marvel put out and he refused to sign it saying Marvel found a way to not pay him the royalties he deserved. Basically marvel found some loophole not to pay Steranko. I wonder if it’s the same case for this one. Seems like Marvel is trying to pull a fast one before the second idw Steranko collection comes out. If it ever does.

    • @NearMintCondition
      @NearMintCondition  4 года назад

      Near Mint Condition I asked Steranko on his Twitter tnt and he said he had nothing to do with it. I don’t think he’s ever seen a psychical copy. From what I understand the book weighs a ton.

    Looks awesome, got the Shield omni but have to say that is a possible purchase. At the moment it is listed in the UK pages of Amazon etc and it is quite pricey so will probably wait a while before I purchase. Thanks for the review. They are seriously hard to store in small UK sized houses (clearly not designed for Monster volumes)

    Kirby returns
