So pleased Boom! have delivered this run in a deluxe HC but it doesn’t feel like a proper collection without having the covers included as well. Still a beautiful looking book. Thanks Omar!
Boom didn’t print covers in the Buffy and Angel library editions either! I can’t believe they didn’t print any covers for this release. It’s such a high profile book! 😑
@@tobiasbaumgartner8629 the umbrella academy LE’s had a deluxe that was double the price £33.99-66.99 in the uk but they gave a different book design unique to the slipcase edition and a portfolio with an art print. I’m not saying it’s worth it but it certainly helps paying the extra if it’s more than just a slipcase on offer. But as ever worth is in the eye of the beholder I’m sure lots will be happy with the slipcase.
With the numbers of variants they’ve released (including the upcoming David Mack ones for the “Slaughter Packs”), they can release all the covers in a single book like Spawn or DKIII.
Got mine last week, thankfully. Its a nice package overall. Though a bit odd thats slightly larger than the usual OHC trim. Not complaining, though! Glad the series got the deluxe treatment. Looking forward to Once & Future!
I'm happy waiting for the regular deluxe 😄. It's the same without the slipcase. Still glad Boom is kinda owning up to their mistake and reprinting. Hoping a second volume collects House of Slaughter too.
@@alexcole1527 Thank you for letting me know. Honestly I ordered one with the slip case in a comic shop (I have no idea if I get one) because I did not like the cover they chose for this collection and the worst part is that people would have definitely paid them more money if they included ALL the covers and there is none (if I undestood correctly) in this edition. Disappointed...
I bought the slipcase edition in the UK and it arrived a few days ago, haven’t been able to put it down. I wait for hardcovers to read series and this was my most anticipated horror of the year! Doesn’t let down!
Yo! Justice League New 52 vol 2 has been confirmed, folks! Just saw it on OrganicPricedBooks. I thought I was looking at vol 1 cos the cover was different. But it was vol 2! Wrapping up the entire run!
Great story! I think I read 16 or 17 issues digitally. Really fun, quick and action packed read. I don't think I'll be buying any physical version unless a complete collection comes out in a few years. Thanks for the review!
Not having the covers collected in the extras isn't a deal breaker, but it does suck that they aren't included.. But I think you're correct that they'll be included in the next volume.. Either way, I'll still be buying it.
Hi, great Upload. I am based in the UK and have just come back from Southamptons Forbidden Planet and I can't believe I managed to pick the hard cover 2nd edition for only £20 it's priced at £64. My version had the Red mask on the cover and not the white version.
good to see you got one, these were heavely allocated. We only got 1 out of the 3 we ordered. So people will probably not be able to find them. At least not for a normal price.
Hey Omar, so pleased to see this! I'm always trying to check out 'indie' titles I haven't read, especially new ones, to see if they're anything that grabs me. This & 'Lady Mechanika' are two of my great discoveries, picked both up from issue 1 knowing nothing about them and they both became must reads!
Not in love with the art but as you passed the pages I could feel it growing on me... I've been loving Tynion's Batman run, so I'm itching to give it a read.
Seems like no love went into making this hardcover. $20 for a slipcase and no cover gallery. Cover galleries shouldn’t even be considered “extra” anymore and should be staples in all collections.
Maaaaan I’m caught up on this series and it’s so so so good. Don’t know if I’ll be buying this(the non slipcase) but I’m starting to get FOMO! We’ll see if that’s the right financial decision or not when the time comes. :) You’re the man Omar and thank you for this overview as always!
My slipcase edition is still in the shrink wrap and I didnt realize it was the exact same book as the regular deluxe edition which is a bit disappointing. I really hope that book two has the cover gallery because there were some really awesome covers for this series.
Just found out that pre orders are open for Book 2, due out May 21st 2024. Woop woop! However, it seems it will be skipping 16-20, which contains Erica's origins. This is super sad. It collected 16-35 rather than 21-35
Hey Omar...love watching your videos...I also have the slipcase edition but it's a little different...instead of silver set of monstrous teeth on the slipcase it has them in red...tell me if Boom has released this version ..love from India
I preordered this book (sans slipcase, $20 for a cardboard box is a bit much) as soon as I heard about it. I held off from picking up the trades because I figured Boom might do something like The Woods Yearbook editions (another great Tynion story). Didn't know it'd be that big though. Disappointed about the lack of covers, the series' covers are great.
Some ppl are trying to sell the slipcase edition for $200. That means you paying $150 for a box 😃 I was lucky enough that my preorder with my LCS got fulfilled.
Is it true that the second volume of the second volume skils chapters? I was thinking of collecting the series in deluxe edition, but I heard that there are missing chapters.
Excited to pick this up, channels so many cool comics, a little bit of Buffy there, a like bit of Mage with the supernatural going place to place. I read 6 volumes and decided to wait for the Deluxe release. I will skip the slipcase version but its an awesome design.
I pre-ordered this asap and hoping it gets here b4 the end of October. It just fits that Halloween vibe for me. I don't think mine has the slipcase 🤔 idk, it's no biggie though. Just hyped to finally read this for the first time ever.
Maybe you'll have to buy the covers for 20 bucks, just like the slipcase. This is where you see that the Marvel Omnibus guy (forgot his name) is good at his job & the Boom guy sucks at his job.
Well if Omar got his slipcase there's hope for the rest of us who preordered. The artwork is amazing can't chase after all those variants in singles preferred just the main story after awhile got too ridiculous. Yes I do think vol 2 will be prepped with the covers there's more than enough. The signed one sounds cool but it's OK maybe I can see the creators at a con down the road and pay up for signatures that way. Gotta make that call sometimes can't have it all
I preordered two copies from DCBS and got preorder cancelled after BOOM shenanigans in not matching print run to preorders. Still pissed at Boom and a little with DCBS. Nothing worse than preorder and paying for items than them to turnaround and not deliver. Up there with Black Mask solicitation approach for White (at least Bad Idea set up a different approach). I have ordered elsewhere now lets see if they come through. If I was BOOM I would have delayed print run to avoid this kind of nonsense.
I wished they did a bit more for the slipcase edition. Is this often the case that the deluxe and slipcase are THAT identical? I'm a comic newbie. I don't regret my preorder, but I'm wondering. Thanks guys!
Very rare to not always. Boom has probably made like 6 different covers for the Power Rangers HCs by now. If it wasn't they accidentally printed an even lower amount there would be an uproar over a $20 mark up for just a slipcase.
I don't think much of the slipcover. They could have designed something more interesting, visually appealing. Even if there was collectibility of that version, not sure it is worth it. Hopefully people aren't gullible and pay flipper prices for this edition, and wait for the reprinting.
Wait, so this is BIGGER than a regular Deluxe (judging by that comparison with the Kull Omnibus)?? The DC/Marvel/Image Deluxe Editions tend to be the same size. Is it as big as a Library Edition?
I think that Tynion IV is my favorite author however I am loyal to DC and Marvel but I would read this for sure now that it is done, although like you said, this is volume 1 and there is more to come.
I have watched several reviews complaining about this slipcase. On regards of a foresable adaptation, my bet goes to Sadie Sink or Millie Bobby Brown as Erica Slaughter.
Why waste a page of just black space wen that could be used for the covers ah that is so annoying.. the spine is a bit plain to but the no covers kills me every time
Not worth the money. There is no cover gallery. The trade paperbacks are better for fraction of the cost. I prefer the single issues, those are the ones that will appreciate in price. Trade paperbacks and hardcovers are just for reading...nothing more. They rarely appreciate in price. Actually, hardcovers in the past that increased in price almost always go down later on. About the bigger size...well, with all due respect to Werther Dell'Edera, his art is a bit too kooky to look nice blown up in size like the dimensions of the slipcase edition. Regular size fits his art style better.
So pleased Boom! have delivered this run in a deluxe HC but it doesn’t feel like a proper collection without having the covers included as well. Still a beautiful looking book. Thanks Omar!
Boom didn’t print covers in the Buffy and Angel library editions either! I can’t believe they didn’t print any covers for this release. It’s such a high profile book! 😑
The lack of covers is such a bummer.
Thank you very much for showing the differences between the editions and their respective sizes vs. other types of collected omnibuses. Well done.
Thank you for watching.
😂 the most expensive slipcase ever! It’s ridiculous that they didn’t alter the HC at all. I’m fine with the saving and a slipcase-less version.
Less than half that price for hardcover Book 1 without the slipcase here in UK.
@@Alvarakk I know it’s madness for a rather plain slipcase.
Yeah same
@@OffMyShelves the slipcase looks great but it’s not worth paying 25$ more

Off to a great start. I really hope Erica’s story continues.
Good call! Appreciate you showing the difference and now I can hold off on buying this for a ridiculous price. That’s a good RUclipsr right here!

I pre-ordered this a while ago. Glad I did because it looks gorgeous. Thank you for the overview.
Hi Omar, I just got this a few days ago with the slipcover. I’ve not read it at all yet, so I’m excited. Great overview my brother 😊

No covers? Wtf? That’s a bummer. No idea how these decisions are made and no one objects to that.
Seriously. I personally thought the covers were better than the story

Love this series. I will probably go for the hardcover over the slipcase though.
Seems like no love went into making this hardcover. $20 for a slipcase and no cover gallery. Cover galleries shouldn’t even be considered “extra” anymore and should be staples in all collections.
I feel the same.
No covers ? Would It better to get the trades
Looks awesome as f**k!
OMG, i did read the 1st trade. I had the series on my "meh, maybe" list, thank you so much for this review, it made me read the series.

I'll be going for the deluxe edition. I have my eye on this and gillens once & future.
I'm hoping Coda by spurrier gets the same treatment
I preordered the HC without slipcover still waiting for it

I’d rather put that $20 towards an omni that’s on my list.
I really enjoyed the first 3 volumes I can’t wait for the next volume to release.
With the quantity of variant covers out there, they could fill an entire book with the covers alone.
I can see them trying to milking this cow as much as they can and releasing a separate book with them ala dk3
thanks for doing this. i just got it on amazon for $40
I want to pick it up maybe after Christmas. Too many books out at the mo.🙂
Never read SIKTC but looks right up my alley.
Got the deluxe on pre-order..looking forward to it..!!!!
I recently started reading this and I'm loving it. I have the TP, unfortunately this HC edition does not call my attention.
Hey Omar...love watching your videos...I also have the slipcase edition but it's a little different...instead of silver set of monstrous teeth on the slipcase it has them in red...tell me if Boom has released this version ..love from India
Unfortunately mine arrived damaged..
I got the Deluxe. But I hope they don't release a deluxe *Covers of SiKtC* additional book,,,
Love this series and holding out for the just the deluxe. I think it got delayed though towards the end of November.
Awesome video thankyou

Same. I can't wrap my head around paying an extra $20 for just a slip case.
I missed out on pre-ordering this. I have to settle for eBay prices now. I love this review, Omar!!! Thanks!!! 👍👍👍
They're reprinting.
@@freddiealonsonido Thanks for the GREAT NEWS, Freddie Alonso!
Some ppl are trying to sell the slipcase edition for $200. That means you paying $150 for a box 😃
I was lucky enough that my preorder with my LCS got fulfilled.
Preordered mine months ago. I hope it ships this week! Come on DCBservice. No covers? How could they screw that up!
Definatley could run this as a TTRPG game using Tales from the Loop and Kids On Bikes, need to get this novel and slipcase edition.
Omar, should I pick up Something is Killing the Children deluxe with or without the Slipcase. Is it worth the extra in your view?🙂
Is it true that the second volume of the second volume skils chapters? I was thinking of collecting the series in deluxe edition, but I heard that there are missing chapters.
Pre-ordered it and was told my order wouldn’t be fulfilled just prior to release. Disappointing to say the least.
Excited to pick this up, channels so many cool comics, a little bit of Buffy there, a like bit of Mage with the supernatural going place to place. I read 6 volumes and decided to wait for the Deluxe release.
I will skip the slipcase version but its an awesome design.
Maybe they needed to add the interview this time and shifting all the covers to next book equates the size of the two books.
Very excited to read this series.
No offense to the slipcase, but that cover art of Erica is just incredible honestly. Don’t cover it up!
Ok nah, now they gotta add all the covers on a second hardcover. Eff this nonsense of no covers.
How many hardcovers are needed to cover the whole run? Is the run even done?
I pre-ordered this asap and hoping it gets here b4 the end of October. It just fits that Halloween vibe for me. I don't think mine has the slipcase 🤔 idk, it's no biggie though. Just hyped to finally read this for the first time ever.
Slip could have been way better but the story itself is amazing!! ❤️
Can’t wait for my copy!!
Have you heard any word for the second volume release??
The second/additional prints will NOT have the slip case.
Preordered as well, but here in Europe you'll never know if it even gets released
I've added this to my Christmas list.
Maybe you'll have to buy the covers for 20 bucks, just like the slipcase. This is where you see that the Marvel Omnibus guy (forgot his name) is good at his job & the Boom guy sucks at his job.
brb gonna get my bandana and swords
Do you think you will ever cover house of slaughter
Am so glad I picked this up
No covers?!?!? Man…

Omar received a free copy from Organic Priced Books. He didn't preorder.
Damn, never heard of the signed edition and I can't find a link to it anywhere. Oh well.
Will this fit next to my omnis since its not that much taller or do i have to change things with the shelf ?

Hrmm...I didnt know about the signed one.
Hey Omar is the deluxe version also sold out? Very hard to find it overseas
If it is, both will be back next year
We need to start the movement to get Emma Stone cast as Erica Slaughter for a movie
Russian version is absolutely same. And there is no covers in HC too.
Think I’m just gunna buy the trades rather than not have the cover’s.
They may include all the covers in a future volume.
Is there anywhere else I can order this?
It will come back this year.
This or wytches, which one is better?
This one for me.
Wait, so this is BIGGER than a regular Deluxe (judging by that comparison with the Kull Omnibus)?? The DC/Marvel/Image Deluxe Editions tend to be the same size. Is it as big as a Library Edition?

The first 18.
This sounds very much like Stranger Things, am I really that far off? I'm sure there are some deviations but seems very similar.
I have watched several reviews complaining about this slipcase. On regards of a foresable adaptation, my bet goes to Sadie Sink or Millie Bobby Brown as Erica Slaughter.
No cover gallery. Fail. The softcover tpbs has the cover gallery.
Maybe they’ll be Included in volume 2. Maybe..

Slipcase is unnecessary so no thank you.
