I agree. I read in pdf every spiderman book up to omnibus clone saga volume 2. Next week volume 2 comes out. Then I get Ben Reilly in March I have Ben Reilly 2. Then JMS vol1 and 2 I have. Then next year 2 more omnibuses between JMS and superior Spider-Man
Missed out the first time, glad I can pick this up now. Tough choice on covers but I've got to go with the Dan Jurgens DM cover since that's the actual Ben Reilly Spider-Man costume. 🕷🕷🕷
Another good looking book from the mighty Mega Print! I’d be happy if all my omnis came from there. Spider-man fans have had a great year with collected editions. Think I’d opt for Dan’s cover out of the two. Thanks Omar!
This was one of the first Omnies I got when I started collecting. Even though a lot of people hate Clone Saga, I like most of it as it's the era when I got into comics. Sure was confusing as hell but I didn't care 😂 I would take CS over anything after OMD. What I would want collected next is DeMatteis' Spectacular, Post Clone Saga era, Paul Jenkins' run and of course the number volumes continued
Omar always coming with the heat for these comic book streets!!!! But aye I decided to keep my first printing cuz this guy don’t have the original scarlet spider suit on and it doesn’t say scarlet spider omnibus like the one I have great overview!!!
Pretty stoked to get this. I really like the DM cover more than the Standard one. I already got the Volume 2 in the recent CheapGraphicNovels "Nick and Dent" sale last month. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll even start reading these until I read through the Clone Saga omnibus books of which VOL 2 won't get here until March. _WHOMP WHOMP lol_
Yes, we need everything between the end of the Clone Saga to JMS in Omni format, to say nothing of Bronze and Copper Age Marvel Team Up, Spectacular, Web of, etc
The sudden love for this storyline is like the sudden love the Star Wars prequels get…and it completely baffles me. Still, I’d take these stories over any JMS-present stories.
- Nostalgia is always a factor - Time makes immediate emotions less powerful (ie. “that’s not MY Spider-Man/Star Wars” isn’t as strong for 20 year old works), - Lastly expanded material has really added to Ben Reilly and the Prequels. So the source material has been elevated compared to when it initially came out. Also another factor I think plays a part of it is that at least the Clone Saga and the Prequels were at least trying to be their own things. By comparison a lot of modern Spider-Man/Star Wars materiel has that vibe of “hey remember how cool this was years ago?” Even if something is flawed it’s easier to love it when it has its own identity. Like the Prequel and Sequel trilogy were both controversial but only the Prequel trilogy gets expanded material because the Sequel trilogy has nothing unique to it. Just look at how much the visual design is nearly identical to the Original trilogy. Same vibes for the Clone Saga
We NEED the WEB OF SPIDERMAN omnibus vol 1-4 and peter parker spectacular spiderman omnibus vol 2-5 😊i think that would cover all the issues!! For that beautiful era
The computerized coloring really sucks, IMO. It's like everything after XMen Phalanx Covenant looks so different and off-putting due to the computer colors/inking.
Yeah the mid 90s digital coloring on Marvel books is so garish and hideous, truly heinous and ugly shit...the worst I've seen is in Doctor Strange Sorcerer Supreme Omnibus Volume 3...it looks like some brain damaged kids colored it in Corel Draw.
I know how bad the Clone Saga is known to be, but it was the era that existed when I was a kid. I haven't read anywhere near the entire saga, but I'm going all in on these Omni reprints.
I don’t listen to the haters and I have been reading it for myself. For the first time now. I GREATLY enjoyed the 1st omnibus so far. Especially how they showed scarlet spiderman/Mary Jane/doc Oct.
To be honest, I've read it many times and my only problem with it is that it should never have lasted as much time as it did. Marvel's sales pressure forced the authors to make plot decisions to stretch the story that eventually damage the saga's wrap up. And I am not going to say it's is a masterpiece either, yet I don't agree with social media's popular narrative trashing anything related to the 90s, especially bearing in mind some stories published after the clone saga that were utterly awful.
The Amazing Spider-Man book became Amazing Scarlett Spider? Or is a different book? How will this be collected in Epic Collection? In the Amazing Spider-Man line?

What a time to be a fan of Spidey Omnis 🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️
I agree.
I read in pdf every spiderman book up to omnibus clone saga volume 2.
Next week volume 2 comes out.
Then I get Ben Reilly in March
I have Ben Reilly 2.
Then JMS vol1 and 2 I have.
Then next year 2 more omnibuses between JMS and superior Spider-Man
Omni pre ordered!!! I’ve been waiting for this all YEAR!!
Man, that's a beautiful cover. I may have to break my tradition of standard covers for Spider-Man non-classic omnis.
This is a fantastic story, the writing and art is amazing
That cover is incredible! Love your overviews, Omar. Thanks for another great year of content. You're amazing. It's uncanny!
Thant's an AWESOME omnibus, and I am happy that it got a new printing! Thanks Omar, and Happy Holidays!!!
Appreciate the no spoilers. I have never read the clone saga and I just got the volume 1 omnibus so I will be reading that soon.
I’m on vacation in Mexico but still making time to enjoy Omar’s videos. Keep up the great work and happy holidays to all!
Waiting a long time for this one. My reprint list is almost complete.
Missed out the first time, glad I can pick this up now. Tough choice on covers but I've got to go with the Dan Jurgens DM cover since that's the actual Ben Reilly Spider-Man costume. 🕷🕷🕷
can't wait for Clone saga vol. 2 to complete this run!
That DM cover is sick
Beautiful covers for both of these!

I would absolutely love to see Web Of Spidey Omni next!
Yoooooooo Omar the godfather of the omnibus !!!!😮😮😮 I need them to finish the ASM 100 run!! We need that
I wish my onni had that DM dust jacket. Way better than the standard dust jacket. Im so salty that options wasn't available with the 1st printing.
This was one of the first Omnies I got when I started collecting. Even though a lot of people hate Clone Saga, I like most of it as it's the era when I got into comics. Sure was confusing as hell but I didn't care 😂 I would take CS over anything after OMD.

Praying for a Howard Mackie/ JRJR Spider-Man omnibus!
I wonder why marvel reprinted this before both clone saga omnibus. Doesn’t clone saga take place first?
Omar always coming with the heat for these comic book streets!!!! But aye I decided to keep my first printing cuz this guy don’t have the original scarlet spider suit on and it doesn’t say scarlet spider omnibus like the one I have great overview!!!
I started reading the clone sage.
I just finished volume 1 omnibus.
I love this story.
It’s really good, but the art did take a hit after issue 400.
Pre ordering tonight!!!!!!!!!
Pretty stoked to get this. I really like the DM cover more than the Standard one.
I already got the Volume 2 in the recent CheapGraphicNovels "Nick and Dent" sale last month. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll even start reading these until I read through the Clone Saga omnibus books of which VOL 2 won't get here until March. _WHOMP WHOMP lol_
We need the era right after the clone saga. So much is uncollected!
Yes, we need everything between the end of the Clone Saga to JMS in Omni format, to say nothing of Bronze and Copper Age Marvel Team Up, Spectacular, Web of, etc
Yes😊😊😊😊
Hi Omar. Typically these omnibus sell for $125 USD and $150 CAD. Are we going to see a $25 increase across the board from Marvel Omnibus?
Nice tip toe around 90s Venom. 🤪
And I’m a Hama fan boy!
This is on my pre-order. I'm interested how good or bad the story is.
🙌 "Not much bleed through happening" 🙌 😃

It’s a hefty gap in peoples Spidey collection too, polarising story or not.

@@solrac4733 because saga is not just one story, it is era
@@Jackfromshack Sure, Operation "Cash-Graber" era. Call it whatever you want.
I already have this and am not going to buy an entire Omni just for the cover. But that direct market cover is pretty nice...
The Amazing Spider-Man book became Amazing Scarlett Spider? Or is a different book? How will this be collected in Epic Collection? In the Amazing Spider-Man line?
I mean it’s the Ben Reilly equivalent of Amazing at the time right? So I’d imagine it’ll be in the Amazing line up until it changed back…
I cant wait to pick this up, not read it forever, and sell it as soon as I start reading it and dont like it later 😂
Clone saga is out of print and im still needing those before this 😢
They are coming back.
Did this sell out already?? Wanted to buy the clone saga stuff first! Not seeing this on ist, tow, or dcbs 😭
When I worked at a comic store in the 90's, I remember no one, NO ONE, liked or bought these books.
I only heard bad reviews these last few years
Pass
Beautiful omnibus, terrible comics.
