This was a great overview of the contents of this book, Carl, very well done! Along with the Byrne relaunch era, these really ARE overall the absolute best Superman stories of his entire 85 year existence!
Thanks Rubén, I always have fun chatting about these stories! They truly are and ones that still hold up. They represent who Superman is as a character so well & add the human element of having a fleshed out Metropolis full of civilian characters!
DAY ONE PURCHASE for me. I loved this era of Superman and as you leafed through the emmory and enjoyment gleaned from reading those stories resurfaced. What a time to be alive and now, and now we have them in collected format.
Thank you for this. THIS is my Superman that I grew up with and I've been waiting for this omnibus forever. Placed my order and can't wait to read it. Many of the single issues I already read as a kid via cheap back issue bins and are now buried in my closet so I'm excited to have the stories all in one place. Oh and AWESOME shirt :)
Thanks so much! Such a wonderful era of Superman stories! Also, thanks for the shirt compliment, as soon as I saw that one listed on DC’s shop last year it was an instant purchase!
Finally got it. I’m about 100 pages in. I’m impressed. The stories are great and character driven. The art is impressively so good. I’m having fun this one. Definitely recommend!
Great video and thanks for mentioning the book. Another suggestion with extra copies is donating them to public or school libraries. Not for tax write-off purposes (which is a nice perk), but for youth to read them in school libraries. My highs school library helped broaden my exposure to comics and manga.
great unboxing, i will purchase a copy as soon as possible. You are right it is a big book. Never read any of these stories, I'm a silver age guy myself.
Glad you got an early copy. You talking about this book is how I found your channel! I have my copy preordered at my LCS. Also hoping for a Volume 2, 3, 4 ect...
Awesome! Sorry for the delayed response but I’m happy to see you found my little corner of comics RUclips! It’s been fun just sharing the things that bring me so much joy in this hobby!
Really looking forward to this... I started reading Supes as a kid during Panic In the Sky so this will be all new to me but I i love the look and feel of this era. If this is as good as the Exile, I will be a happy man. Thank you for the overview
Very true, hopefully the reprinting of the Exile Omnibus sells well, along with this one too & that will send the signal to DC that the readers/customers for the format are there!
Im so excited for this book. I need DC to print more post crisis Superman omnis. The hardback collections for Busiek and Perez are appreciated, but I NEED OMNIS! Buying this and finally snagging Exile with the reprint.
Just subbed to your channel, it was interesting seeing this book, I have all the issues in it, but have not gone back and read them since buying them new, I should do and will do because of your video. I have been wondering for ages should I put the books for this era in triangle order rather than having separate boxes for each series, like I do at the moment, it will take a bit of sorting as there were one shots and the 15 issues of the Man of Tomorrow with triangles as well, thank you for causing me this dilemma, lol! I have a small channel, where I started with my Action and Superman collection starting with 1957, so it will take a while to get to this point in time!
Ahh the age old dilemma of how to store this era, by series or by triangle…no real wrong answer and that’s where the problem lies! Both options make sense!
Thanks! I bought it from the DC Shop online last year, but sadly I don’t think they sell it anymore. They usually rotate in new designs every few months. Sorry!
Only a few short weeks before the official release! It’s a great looking book & I can’t recommend it enough. Just so fun to flip through and revisit this wonderful era!
So cool that you were able to get this advance copy from Glenn, awesome that you were able to pick the your first copy of your most anticipated book. I think this one is a skip for me personally, but if we get a volume 2 with Stuart Immonen's art on Adventures of Superman, I might have to grab that
Thanks! Very excited to get this one in hand, talk about it, and revisit some favorites! I’d very much love to see them get to Immonen’s work on Superman. His work was a highlight in the post Return era after most of these creative teams moved on!
Definitely can be cumbersome and best read while sitting at a desk or somewhere to rest the book, but I do love having them all in these big volumes. Looks great on a shelf & fun to flip through

These were the comics that introduced me to comics. Amazing omnibus. So happy DC is finally doing this.
Indeed!! It’s long overdue!!
I wanted to find someone who could explain why pre triangle comics were in this at the beginning and you summed it up really well. I appreciate you!
Glad you enjoyed that explanation! Thank you so much for watching!
DAY ONE PURCHASE for me. I loved this era of Superman and as you leafed through the emmory and enjoyment gleaned from reading those stories resurfaced. What a time to be alive and now, and now we have them in collected format.
I’ve done it a few times now, flipped through it, and even read a few issues, so fun!!

I cannot wait for this book.
I could not be any more excited to get my copy.

@@Earllander That’s a great idea! I’ve also seen comics creators hand out their comp copies to trick or treaters on Halloween!
great unboxing, i will purchase a copy as soon as possible. You are right it is a big book. Never read any of these stories, I'm a silver age guy myself.
Thanks so much! Yeah, it’s a beast of a book but there are so many fun Superman stories within! I hope you enjoy them if you end up grabbing the book!

I got mine at cheap graphic novels. I just moved im still looking for a local I like. Hopefully I find one soon
Thanks! Really trying to spread the word on this book! Hoping we can get some more volumes of these wonderful stories!
@@tm87streams67They are a nice place to buy from, any chance to get a nice discount is great!
I just found your channel -- and I love your Superman stuff!
Awesome! Sorry for the delayed response but I’m happy to see you found my little corner of comics RUclips! It’s been fun just sharing the things that bring me so much joy in this hobby!
Waverider was introduced in Armageddon #1 May 1991. Love the tee-shirt by the way!
Thanks so much, I knew it was sometime in this era but couldn’t remember exactly as I was flipping through! Much appreciated for the reminder!
That cover is one of my favorite ones
It’s so darn good right?
@@CarlsCollection definitely
Really looking forward to this... I started reading Supes as a kid during Panic In the Sky so this will be all new to me but I i love the look and feel of this era. If this is as good as the Exile, I will be a happy man. Thank you for the overview
Thanks for watching!! I promise if you loved what you’ve read of the era so far, you’ll likely really enjoy what’s in this book too!
Just purchased mine, excited to have this in my collection
Have you read the stories before? Either way, you are in for a treat!! Enjoy!
@@CarlsCollection no, I haven’t I started at reign of supermen when I was a kid. So I’m excited, jurgens is my favorite Superman writer.
@@GammaworldsOh well then you are in for a treat! They are so fun! Enjoy & let me know what you think!
I hope they can also fill the gap between the Exile Omnibus and this book!
@@Legion80 I’d love to see that too! With just two more books we’d have Byrne’s Man of Steel up until the Return of Superman. Sign me up for that!
Awesome vid! Can’t wait for my copy to arrive
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed! Always love chatting about these stories!
Waverider first appeared in Armageddon 2001 #1, May 1991. Thanks for the video.
Will pick this up for sure!
It’s worth it!
Definitely a overlooked run
It’s not overloooked, it’s pretty well loved, just under reprinted
Very much agreed!!
@@tariqkhonji6556It’s definitely been overlooked by DC when it comes to reprinting stories other than Death & Return of Superman from this era.
My only complain is that we are missing an omnibus with the issues between the end of The Exile Saga omni and this.
Very true, hopefully the reprinting of the Exile Omnibus sells well, along with this one too & that will send the signal to DC that the readers/customers for the format are there!
Im so excited for this book. I need DC to print more post crisis Superman omnis. The hardback collections for Busiek and Perez are appreciated, but I NEED OMNIS! Buying this and finally snagging Exile with the reprint.
And signed by Glen is so cool 😭
Great book, for me the definitive Superman!
Very much agree!!
Will buy this 😮
@@AshlySmith-j4k It’s definitely worth picking up!

I hope we're going to have11 triangle era omnibus, one for each year from 1991 to 2001.
I’d be cool with that, not sure I’d have the shelf space to devote to them all, but it would be very cool to see it all reprinted!
I bought one of those issues when they came out and still have them
I have many of them but definitely not all of these, very fun to see them presented this way!
Love the shirt Carl could you tell me where I can get one 👍
Thanks! I bought it from the DC Shop online last year, but sadly I don’t think they sell it anymore. They usually rotate in new designs every few months. Sorry!
Great review 😊
I really love that shirt where did you get it.
It was available through DC’s online store last year. I bought one as soon as I saw it! Love those emblems!
Omni of the year!!! (sorry Secret Six)
Im so jealous!
Only a few short weeks before the official release! It’s a great looking book & I can’t recommend it enough. Just so fun to flip through and revisit this wonderful era!
Omnibus Prime!
So cool that you were able to get this advance copy from Glenn, awesome that you were able to pick the your first copy of your most anticipated book. I think this one is a skip for me personally, but if we get a volume 2 with Stuart Immonen's art on Adventures of Superman, I might have to grab that

I like the Omnibus but the size are a real problem here. I would pay almost double for that to be in a two volume format.
Definitely can be cumbersome and best read while sitting at a desk or somewhere to rest the book, but I do love having them all in these big volumes. Looks great on a shelf & fun to flip through
does this collect everything up until death of Superman ?
It does not, there is enough material to fill a Vol 2 that would bridge the gap between this book and the Death & Return Omnibus
Is there similar book but of 80s ?
