To be fair, as well known as he is, there's a lack of events and writer/artist runs that can be collected. The only ones that come to mind are the Byrne Man of Steel run and Superman by Geoff Johns. As much as I love Swan, I don't think they would do an Omni for that. They did Exile since.
Maybe because the current trend of "heroes " is selfish, narcissistic and alcoholics like iron man. Superman is " too good and boring" is what I hear from the teeny boppers nowadays
DC does a lot of deluxe editions too, which is where a lot of solo Superman stories are collected like Secret Identity, Red Son, etc. Also, Kingdom Come is pretty much a Superman story.
jla for sure. thx and what an amazing collection. I just bought four epic collection books and thought I was doing good till I saw your stuff. LOL thx again.
Death and return of Superman comics is what got me into comics. Had all the comics for when they came out, they all got stolen years later so had to recollect/buy all the issues again once eBay became a thing as it was easier to find them. Really want the Prime 1 Cyborg Superman 1/3 coming out in 2020.
The Siegel & Shuster vs. DC Comics lawsuit over characters/rights/royalties keeps us from getting the omnibus type collections of issues from silver age foward. Best source of those is the DC Archives editions of hardbacks but its verrrrrry limited.
I don't remember much about For Tomorrow. I remember loving the art, but the story was some alternate or future dimension Zod invading the current time.
Hey your video was super helpful because it is my first time buying comics and i wanted to get superman and wonder woman comics then i discovered the omnibus volumes , i am still abit confused. If i get the volumes i basically get the first comics written on superman till the end ? Tnx
There was an earlier edition of Death of Superman that was very different that the one you have. Smaller dimensions and half as much content too. I think it was the first real DC omnibus though. Superman For Tomorrow was kind of a follow up to Batman Hush. Hush was such a huge hit they wanted to have a Jim Lee Superman story to capitalize on the popularity.
I hope you've read your favourite Superman story since this video because Eradicator Superman wasn't a clone! 😉 I still have all the single issues for the whole 1993 run. It was the start of my comic collecting.
The only thing Absolute Superman for tomorrow has is that sweet, SWEET Jim Lee art. IMO the story was garbage. Read it as it came out. Part of me wants to get the absolute JUST for the amazing Lee art, but I don't know if i can justify it even at half price with how bad the story was (as I remember it, to be fair it has been what, a decade or more since it came out)
Yeah, never though of it before but you're right. DC does have a serious lack of Superman collected oversized editions.
Ken Givens yea it’s crazy
We really need John Byrne's run in an omnibus.

Yuup
I enjoyed "Superman: For Tomorrow" it has one of my favorite Superman moments ever; how he beats the elementals!
I hope that someday there's a Tomasi Superman omnibus. Been holding off on the rebirth deluxe editions for an omnibus.
michaelu1019 goodnews for you they coming out next year march 2021
Wow...DC is seriously slacking on Superman omnis.

Great collection man, i am jealous
It blows my mind that Frank Quietly is not to your liking! Great vids though. I envy your amazing collection 😊
Agreed. Quitely and Morrison are my favorite comic team. Love Jim Lee too, but he isn’t “better,” just different.
How I missed this one. Lol great 👍🏽 video. 💎💎
jla for sure. thx and what an amazing collection. I just bought four epic collection books and thought I was doing good till I saw your stuff. LOL thx again.
I good man you seem kinda depressed in this video ngl.

Really enjoy your reviews, just wish that you could have stated the price of the book when you were reading the back.
Johnny Future ah that’s a great idea! Gonna start doing that.
wonder what you ended up thinking of those stories. They did also release an Exile omnibus that's really, really good for Superman
The Siegel & Shuster vs. DC Comics lawsuit over characters/rights/royalties keeps us from getting the omnibus type collections of issues from silver age foward. Best source of those is the DC Archives editions of hardbacks but its verrrrrry limited.
Ohhhh that makes sense.
Wow, didn't know that... one would think all parties involved would be for it so that they could all get extra money to spread around
As a new collector, I have been wondering why DC has never released an omnibus based upon Superboy and Krypto. Any thoughts?
can you do teen titans
Real Ninja finally someone else who wants teen titans
I don't remember much about For Tomorrow. I remember loving the art, but the story was some alternate or future dimension Zod invading the current time.
NFLDude56 yea I can’t remember if I read it or not
it was supes version of hush moron....research easy ppl lazy!!!
Can you do wonder woman?
i can and I will
All omnibus from Grant Morrison , maybe. Nice Job!
Hélio Cavalcanti that’s a good idea. Could do a writers or artists highlight. Thanks!
They need to create some Bronze Age Superman omnibus!
yes please justice league
what about a video on your custom bind books
Mike F i actually don’t have any custom binds. Just have some custom dust jackets.
Hey your video was super helpful because it is my first time buying comics and i wanted to get superman and wonder woman comics then i discovered the omnibus volumes , i am still abit confused. If i get the volumes i basically get the first comics written on superman till the end ? Tnx
the golden age volumes contain all the early issues...but superman comics have not been compiled to cover every issue till the end
Oh then i guess the golden age would be fine since i like to know the whole story from early on tnx for ur reply👌👌🌟
Gem has come far from these days on the videos and production.

What’s the best Superman omnibus for a read?
Valiant universe video ?
@Gem Mint. Do you think the Death & Return of Superman Omnibus will get reprinted again?
I would think. It’s had 3 or 4 already.
I hope you've read your favourite Superman story since this video because Eradicator Superman wasn't a clone! 😉
I still have all the single issues for the whole 1993 run. It was the start of my comic collecting.
100k here we come 👊🤣
DOPE
bastante legal!!!

Can we get a 1990’s omnibus?
