I was waiting for this. Thanks, Omar! "Omnibus" just means "collection of previously released material". It has nothing to do with trim size or cover hardness. You could have a TV show release a omnibus Blu-ray for example. That said, it would be nice if the publishers got together and decided on a proper nomenclature for all the different formats.
We do in the uk, we have a soap opera called Coronation street, that has an omnibus show, that airs all that that’s episodes back to back at the weekend
it seems like it will just become a standard through audience expectations, it should just scale up like this: 1. Floppy/TPB/HC/Compendium 2. OHC/Deluxe 3. Omnibus/those Giant ones like Sin City(are they this size?) 4. Absolute/Definitive 5. Library Edition/Artists Edition/is there another name they use? That should be it really, I think maybe they shouldnt use any of those names if theyre not following their expected sizes, or maybe at least height wise, width is not an issue really.
Nice one, thank you very much Omar! But one thing (or several) I'd really like to see is a discussion about paper (thickness), build and binding quality (what is the best type of binding) in a direct comparison from different publishers... Who offers the best overall editions in that regard, was there dip in production quality of the reprints when compared to older versions (DC/Marvel/Imag) and also the printing quality of some new editions (from all publishers) in general? You guys have such large collections of comics and are in a position (since you get stuff from big publishers) to give us your unique insight in these topics but we don't see it basically at all or very rarely. It's not just about the size and price of the editions that matters, but the overall best package we can get as new buyers and/or collectors especially in long-term because we want to keep these hc deluxe/omis/absolutes for a long time...
The DC Black Label collected editions like Batman: Damned, Harleen and Wonder Woman: Dead Earth are also uniquely shaped examples with their extra width.
@@Tyler-Clark That confused me because when I think of DC Prestige Editions, I think of a couple books from when I was a kid called "Catwoman: Defiant" and "Penguin: Triumphant" that were standard sized but had more pages and used card stock covers and higher quality paper. I had to look it up to determine the difference and apparently DC is calling the newer Black Label format "Prestige Plus" to account for both the higher quality plus the wider size.
Damn Omar when you were our guest host Last Monday on The Amazing Collected Edition show on Big Herm collectibles channel we should have just had you share this video. This is a awesome video to explain collected editions. Now I just need to “borrow” this to play on our monthly show …
Thank you for the video. Keep it up. There are some lines you may have missed that have been long discontinued. There was a line that was smaller than the GN line: I have three small trade paperbacks of Emma Frost and Mini Marvels: Secret Invasion from the mid to late 2000s. I also have a couple of what-I-think are GN-HC; Wolverine: Tales of Weapon X and Wolverine: Worst Day Ever (which was half a prose novel and half standard comic fare) - both released in 2009. Another line with the same dimensions as GN-HC was the GN-HC with DVD containing the motion comic. I have Spider-Woman: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Iron Man: Extremis both released in 2010. I know these lines are very niche but these lines were officially solicited at the time. Do you remember them?
As for the word "omnibus", in the publishing world (not only comic books), the term can be used for basically any kind of collected, previously published material. I found this definition: An omnibus edition or omnibus is a creative work containing one or more works by the same or, more rarely, different authors. Commonly two or more components have been previously published as books but a collection of shorter works, or shorter works collected with one previous book, may be an omnibus.
OMG Omar my brain hurts! LOL.Thanks for this video. To throw in another spanner, the most recent collected editions of Dynamite's "The Boys" 6 volume TPB series are called an 'Omnibus' edition, but they're the size of a Marvel Complete Collection. Those taller books such as the Marvel Treasury Editions are even too tall for the add-on top section of an Ikea Billy. Absolutes just fit in there too. It's crazy how some companies have their own terminology for collected editions. Wouldn't it be simpler just to have a universal terminology among the comic book publishers, so that Omnibus, HC, TPB, OHC, Absolute/Library, Compendium all mean the same thing between publishers? I guess the competitive side means they want to one-up the competition to make their books stand out. Your video goes over and above the call of duty as usual Omar. Thanks again mate. Love your work. Stay safe. Cheers 👍😊
I prefer omnis, especially with the bigger format on the spine (I love the image of Cap on the 1st Brubaket volume). But it depends, as well. I've got 100 Bullets in OHCs and wouldn't replace them with the 100 Bullets omni. The OHCs are easier to read.
@@joppehi Nope. That's the thing I'm looked out for. I've got the complete collections vols. 1 to 4 in TPB. I'm hoping there'll be a vol. 5 complete collection with the entire Time Runs Out story. I don't fancy shelling out for 4 five issue volumes to complete my collection
@@omninomnom9970 yeah, I feel you, but there also is a time runs out complete collection running where vol 4 left off all the way to secret wars. The inside is even like the other 4 CCs, I guess only the spines don’t match😂
Omni bus is for stackers. When I read, I prefer to hold the weight of one page ;) The rest of pages are a menace anyway. I shouldn't have put this so lightly? This is a heavy, serious problem that works for books too. Make 10 volumes in soft cover, not 400+ pages in one book - ever!
I love the Epic Collections. I really hate the huge Omnibus editions since they are way too heavy to read while holding in your hands while sitting comfortably.
Thanks for the overview, Omar! I have read that Marvel Masterworks editions were sometimes Trade Paperbacks between 2009 and 2015. Is that correct? Using DC terminology, I usually prefer Omnibus editions or oversized Deluxe Hardcovers. If the art is incredibly detailed or they have large extras like maps (like with Multiversity or Dark Nights: Death Metal), I sometimes buy Absolute Editions.
so... will a publisher print only one or the other between Standard HC and Oversized HC? I notice many sellers seem to only list "HC" and don't always provide specific trim details. Is there a good resource to use when researching this prior to purchasing? For example, can I safely assume that the Inhumans (Jenkins) HC is oversized as there is a TPB edition? Thx for any help. Appreciate your content.
I’ve always collected my comic books in Trade Paperback form, but, now that I have a new job and are making a bit more money I’m starting to collect omnibus’. I think also that its getting harder to find tpb’s and if I do they are very expensive/very popular and also the fact that the Omni’s are very good quality whereas my tpb’s are not. They crease and my main problem is the corners fold which annoys me. But I just bought my first omnibus, Green Lantern by Geoff Johns which I’m very exited to read.
Me sitting with my trade paperback, 9 issue, 204 page "Deadpool kills the Marvel Universe Omnibus" wondering what kind of an abomination I have in my hands
Nice video. Those Marvel Essential collections... closest thing we get to those now are the Savage Dragon Archives. And speaking of sizes, was Marvels the only "Platinum" edition they released?
For favorite collected edition, I've gotta go with the DC Absolutes. I wouldn't buy most books in that format, because they're very pricey, but it's worth it for a series you genuinely love. Omnibus would then be my runner-up pick. The biggest book in my collection is the Marvels Monster Edition, which is definitely a beast.
I know is to each his own, but what is your favorite version compared to omnibus v masterworks? Today I am excited to say I bought the IDW TMNT 1-15 , finishing the infinity gauntlet Omni , and thinking of getting all the Hulk Omni. Your channel has been very helpful.
@@stephentheshywarrior2759 I agree 100%, pillow isn’t a bad idea. I typically have to lay it flat and recline sideways to read or lay it down on a table. Such great formats but not an easy night read
Purchased Harrow County library edition volume 1 and loved it. However, I cannot for love nor money get volume 2 and 3. Gutted as got proper sucked in to the story and loved the design of the library editions... One day 🤞🏼
What edition of the True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys was that? Always been interested in the series and wanted a good way to collect the whole thing.
Omar, I have a question. I have a bunch of comics that are in PDF. They were never published in paperback (some are just really rare, some are unique niche one off's, and some were just done by friends). Is there anywhere I can go that will print them in Omnibus quality and then bind them all together in one book? I've done some searching and so far I haven't found anything.
It's crazy that people always ask the difference between the Book types and content creators think that they are only asking in the difference in dimensions..
Anyone else remember the 1975-1980 era Marvel treasury editions? They had 4 reprinted stories in each. Big books (10.25 x 0.25 x 13.38 inches) for $1.50!
The term Omnibus can really be very misleading. Dynamite and Dark Horse in particular, have several formats with this name. Some are more hardcover with 5-10 issues in them. Others are again oversized. Would like to see the Omnibus term more standardized.
i feel like the publishers calling their books omnis, but are basically the same size as a TPB, know EXACTLY what they are doing to get people do buy them thinking they're getting a bargain on amazon, nearly fell for it myself, until i seen paperback and the page count.
Hi Omar, great summary of all the different editions! Curious though about your use of the word "long" rather than "width". Is this an Americanism? Long can be used to describe "tall" people but not "fat" people - therefore suggesting height not width. Just throws me every time you say it and i need to know why! Lol!! Perfect grammar otherwise! Astonishing Melanie would be very happy!
They should have an industry standard, where omnibus, compendiums, deluxe etc. means the same. I know it's not comic terms, but to be less confusing :) and the "only" thing I was waiting for in the video was how big those treasury/whatever editions from marvel are compared to an absolute. Anything bigger than an absolute is a no buy for me, if you can't fit it in the book shelf, why print the book imo? Already have my sixth guns lying above the shelf and never want that again. And to preferred collection, i like the library editions from dark horse and omnibus from dc and marvel, but 800-1000 pages is enough for me, more than that and the books become more or less unreadable. Absolutes are nice but a bit pricey for my taste, but there are some I still want, though.
Are the DC omnis printed on the same garbage paper as this new The Last God book? If so I need to cancel the J.H.Williams Batwoman one I have on pre-order. The Last God is terribly dissapointing compared to the digital version.
You generally see them down as "Marvel UK/Panini". On a side note, seeing Panini as a publisher of Marvel books always makes me smile because here in the UK, Panini are best known for publishing the football sticker books as well as the Disney animation sticker books, back in the day :)
I was gonna say, Devil Dinosaur definitely isn't wider than an oversized hardcover. I feel like it was only made into an omni for the insane Kirby fans. For example, I'll probably buy it if I ever find it at a good price, lol.
It is really annoying DC calls the new softcover collection of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen an "omnibus" and then the hardcover version just has an extra "Jubilee Edition" subtitle to it. But DC whyyy are you announcing Top 10 as a softcover compendium and not as a hardcover omnibus? whyyy
