    Hellboy and The Goon are the reason I fell in love with comics.

    @colin6612 4 года назад +13

    Love me some Hellboy, Baltimore, Witchfinder, Dark Horse Star Wars, Harrow County, Sin City, Goon, Predator, Aliens, Black Hammer, Dark horse Conan, Smoke/Ashes... Some others I'll probably think of later. Dark horse's divergence into having more Manga offerings has probably boosted their sales. I love the Beserk Stuff; Hellsing coming out later this year! Glad you're shining a spotlight on publishers outside of the big 2. Nice video Omar!

    Started picking up Dark Horse books back in the day when it was Frank Miller’s Sin City, John Byrne’s Next Men, and this new upstart Mike Mignola with this book called Hellboy. Those are still the best as far as I’m concerned, just now catching up on BPRD, which has been phenomenal. You’ve got me curious to check out Goon and Black Hammer too!

    Don't have a lot of Dark Horse. Baltimore's awesome and I really need to get more Mignola stuff. Also, Fear Agent and Harrow County look like they need to go on my shopping list about...yesterday.
    My favorite DH books (if Berserk doesn't count) by far are the three "Colossal Conan" books. (Busiek/Nord might just be my favorite take on the character ever.)

    Suggestion: best volumes/omnis per series. For example hellboy omni 2, bprd omni 2, and brpd hell on earth omni 3 will tell you everything you need to know about each series with minimal confusion and maximum feels

  • @tapsilogic
    @tapsilogic 4 года назад +1

    I went with omnibus TPBs for everything BPRD-related because (1) they match the Hellboy omnibuses, and (2) Plague of Frogs HCs are a pain in the ass to find.

  • @davidpressley5653
    @davidpressley5653 4 года назад +2

    Definitely most this list is similar to mine to Dark Horse.
    Except for maybe like three spots because those three particular ones I have not read fear agent I have not read Tales from the Crypt and I have not read I think man I forgot its name with the rabbit.
    I'm still trying to fill in those last three spots for me because I still haven't found something to fill those spots.

  • @freddiealonsonido
    @freddiealonsonido 4 года назад +2

    Great stuff! Haven't read a bunch of those yet but surely they'd make my list if I had.
    1. Henchgirl by Kristen Gudsnuk
    It's so good, a reprint of the paperback is due this year I think. Everyone should read this.
    2. Legend of Korra Library Edition
    The Last Airbender LEs are great but I'm still anoyed the art doesn't take the full page. I know people resisted the Korra aninated series but trust this is the better comic. Art is just as breathtaking as always for Avatar, but the scripting and the way the plot moves has certainly improved.
    3. Buffy Tales Library Edition
    I don't own any of the Buffy seasons since so many were already OOP but this one you're ok with just the show. It's a great anthology book highlighting some awesome talent.
    4. Conan the Barbarian by Kurt Busiek
    Kind of a cheat because I dont own this and will as a Marbel Ommibus but before that announcement I rrad about half digitally and it's fantastic.
    5. Hellboy
    I owned a few of the paperback omnibuses and got rid of them to upgrade, which I still haven't... but I really loved this damn series and hopefully I can finish it soon.
    The actual cheat: Harrow County! I love Cullen Bunn, for years his Marvel stuff captivated me and then late last year started reading his indie stuff and some of it is even better! Can't wait to get the LEs of Harrow County.

    Where a lot of the heroes in the series are basically inspired by other characters Dc, marvel, etc. Event ideas that inspired then to be still feel relatable and unique.

    Gotta give special shout out to some Star Wars books that Dark Horse published. The Dark Empire, Thrawn & Crimson Empire Trilogies all got printed in hard back similar to BPRD hardbacks in size. You can buy these still from Marvel now but only in Epic Collections and these Dark Horse collections are (in my opinion) the best format. Though I do appreciate Marvel doing them as Epic collections as that keeps things affordable for new readers to get into them or old readers to pick up runs they missed!

    seeing the books stacked like that actually reminded me of something that's been bugging me for a bit lately. My shelves aren't tall enough to store oversizes vertically and I'm low on space rn so for a while now I've been storing my omnibuses horizontally stacked on top of each other. Nothing crazy, 3-4 omnies per stack. So recently I saw all those posts of how this will completely destroy and warp the binding and ruin the books at the bottom because of the weight etc but nobody could give actual examples of it actually happening. So can anyone tell me is that REALLY that bad or it's semi anecdotal claims or from people stacking like tens of books that way? I checked and my books seem fine for now but still gets me a bit paranoid.

    Not sure if you did Boom! Comics video, and I've never seen you talk about Firefly/Serenity, I cannot recommend those enough! Dark Horse books were better quality, not really fan of Boom! Comics' matte easy-stain finish of their hardcovers, but the comics themselves are amazing, especially if you're a fan of the TV series. Black Hammer and Black Science are definitely on my list, as well as Fear Agent and Hellboy, although Black Science is from Image comics, that's the video I'll be watching next

    HARLAN ELLISON'S DREAM CORRIDOR, VOl. 1. AND Vol.2 should be on EVERY-bodies Dark Horse favorites list! While neither volume contained the John Byrne adaptation of "I Have No Mouth & I Must Scream" (due to copyright probs with the creator, I'm guessing), the volumes DID contain artwork by some of the GREATEST artists and writers n comics and in the SF&F genre: Curt Swan, Neal Adams, Len Wein, Peter David, Mike Deodato, Mark Waid, Jay Lynch, Paul Chadwick, Gene Ha, Gene Colan, Nancy Collins and more! And that doesn't even include the artists enlisted to do the cover artwork for each issue -- which, in turn, inspire Ellison to write an original short story around said cover illustration! Leo and Diane Dillon, Kent Bash, Michael Whelan, Stephen Hickman, Ron Brown and more. And the collected volumes have original artwork by Overton Lloyd and Brian Bolland. The stories in each volume come from Ellison's huge oeuvre and run the gamut from crime fiction ("Rat Hater" and "Moonlighting") to slipststream ("One Life, Furnished In Early Poverty), horror ("On the Slab"), science fiction ("Catman" and "The Discarded") and pure whimsy in a fantastic mode ("How's the Nightlife on Cissalda?" and "Djinn No Chaser"). And, yes, the short stories Ellison wrote for each cover illustration (when the books were published periodically) are, indeed, top-notch. From the moving fantasy of "Midnight in the Sunken Cathedral" (inspired by Whelan and Hickman paintings) and the political SF of "Pulling Hard Time" (inspired by Sam Raffa illustration) to "Anywhere But Here, With Anyone But You" (inspired by artwork of the great Leo and Diane Dillon) and "Chatting With Anubis" (inspired by Jane MacKenzie's illustration, this story won a Bram Stoker Award) to the sublime, "Lost Horizon"-inspired painting by Kent Bash that resulted in Harlan Ellison writing the Nebula Award-nominated "Goodbye to All That".
