Bought the first one after your review. Now I have to buy the second volume as well ;) 👏🏻👍🏼
You have chosen wisely, my friend. :)
My copy was delivered Tuesday, along with Thor volume 2, I also got Spider-Man by Micheline & McFarlane new printing, Marvel Cinematic Universe Omnibus, Exiles The Complete Collection vol.1, & Harley Quinn vol. 2
The Marvel Cinematic Omni is the one I'm passing on. But everything else, it's on my list too. :)
At first I past on the Vol 1 when it first came out as I already had all the TPBs through this line. I remember reading the floppies when they were coming out starting with around issue 60 after Odin had died and really loved the story of Thor basically bringing Asgard closer to Midgard (earth) to better rule over us and all the conflict that ensued. As Randomtas68 mentioned I also had a difficult time going back to the beginning of the series and reading it via my trades as I didn't think Jurgen quite knew where to take the series. However, when IST heavily discounted the Vol 1 Omni a little while ago I am just finishing up that book and have to say the writing did start getting better towards the end (ends with issue 35). I am still waiting for Vol 2 to come in the mail and will continue reading knowing that the stories will keep getting better if my memory serves me. I'm glad Vol 2 also contains the final six issues of Thor:Disassembled during the Ragnorok storyline. A few years would pass w/o Thor again until JMS takes over and I wish I would have picked up that Omni. Oh well, still have the TPBs on that one too.
It's been several discounted a few times (Vol. 1) The whole Death of Odin and Lord of Asgard is where I was hooked.
I picked up issue number 32 of Jurgens' run at a used book store few years back, but, I only have Simonson's omnibus. Hopefully, I'll be able to get these omnibuses one of these days
Great video again man. This was the last run of Thor that I loved and followed religiously. Haven't enjoyed much about Thor in the last 15 years. hated the jms run, liked Gilians kid Loki stuff and have DESPISED Aaron's run. I'm hoping the next writer can reignite the passion I used to have for Thor. Glad the stuff I loved is finally getting reprints for me to read again since Thor from the 60s till the end of that 2nd heroes return omni are favorites of mine.
I wasn't a fan of JMS run either. I liked Gillen and wish they had given him an omni too. Aaron, I think I really like because it reminds me of the arcs that Jurgens did.
There is an omnibus for Gillens run.Its called Journey into Mystery
Despised Aaron's run? Wow.
Those two are coming this week. A bit hard to find, but I got them both
I recently finished vol.2, and I must say it was a fantastic journey. Of course it has some low points, but which series don't? I really enjoyed it, but it can't top Simonsons run, that is the best run ever. If you start comparing to other Thor runs then you definitely notice a lot of repeated plots, but instead I'm trying to appriciate every run on it's own. I would highly reccomend to pick this series up, while you can. Great video btw, thanks!
Totally agree! Nothing tops Simonsons amazing run. Have you checked out Ragnarok?
@@NearMintCondition Not yet, but it's on my radar. I just started collecting EC and other 50s stuff so I don't have money to buy everything I want 😅
Lol I understand.
I wish I saw this video when it came out. Volume 2 is outta print now. Ughhhh!!! Thankfully I got a new copy of volume 1.
These both look mostly good to me. I already have the Simonson omnibus and have never read most of these as single issues, so could be fun to read them for the first time.
They are really fun to read
I have the original number 1 along with 1-4 of the same run of Avengers reborn. Even the rough cut edition
Great vid: I was trying to work out where it fit in my 90s run, and now it's clear. Directly after the 4-issue Heroes Return mini-series that ends the Heroes Reborn universe, right? Never read it when it came out, but now I get the feeling I missed out on an important element of that era. Love how you can see the artwork evolve through the two volumes btw: awesome. :)
Thank you for watching, brother. Yes this is right after the four issue Heroes Return mini. So along with Buziek's Avengers and Iron-man, Waid's Cap and Claremont's FF this is the other relaunch book that brought Thor back to Marvel.
Hope these books will get released digitally.🤞
The single issues are all included on Marvel Unlimited!
You talked me into those books.
I really hope you enjoy them, brother.
The first volume was one of the rare books that I regretted getting enough to sell it again.
I liked the art, but I really struggled with Jurgen's writing. I think I got into the Juggernaut story before I just gave up the ghost.
Each to his own though.
I will say the writing does get better. He seriously drops all the thous and thees later on.
I just received volume 1 today after delving into what I consider my comic reading journey. Started last week with the NEW 52 Justice League. My question has to do with availability and cost. Why was Volume 1 easy to purchase and cheaper but Volume 2 is nowhere to be found and if it is, it cost so much.
It happened to Classic Kirby Thor vol 2...their really hard to get now
Good to know it's a good Thor run. I love Romita, Buscema, and Kubert art and Jurgens writing generally, but this was a on-the-fence purchase for me since I generally stop reading about Onslaught. I'll have to grab these.
Jon Del Arroz Onslaught was the reason I gave up reading comics.
@@NearMintCondition I cut back a lot then but One More Day is what killed all mainstream superhero comics for me. I still haven't recovered from that one, only read old stuff.
Sins Past was the one for me that made me think...well shit, maybe JMS isn't that good of a writer.
@@NearMintCondition His original pitch was actually way better -- Peter was supposed to be their father, which surprisingly wouldn't bother me nearly as much. Marvel Editorial said "no that would make peter feel old!" and suggested Norman. So, much like OMD's directive to make "peter younger" by removing the marriage, the horrible debasing of Gwen was editorial's fault.
Yeah, even the original pitch was a little weird, but way better than the outcome. Old Joe got lots of hate for that back in the day.
Now there's another 2 omnibuses I'll have to buy! I blame you ;)
I'm sorry? But not sorry? :)
Great video man! Overall, which volume would you say you like better, based on content (writing first, art second)?
Thank you for the kind words. I think the second one has better writing for sure, but volume 1 has JR Jr and Andy Kubert on art. But if I had to choose one. Volume two for sure.
Great Overview! Thank you, Omar! Which of this two volumes do you like much more?
I would have to say volume 1. For the art alone!
No Brasil, saiu esse mês pela editora panini mas com capa preta, horrível
Con apenas uma página de extras
Romita could do 2 books aat the same time? what a beast! Did he also do Amazing Spiderman and Incredible Hulk at the same time in the 2000s?
Not at the same time, but he probably could have.
@@NearMintCondition
But he did do 2 silent issues during the 'nuff said month
These days, it looks like there are a million copies of volume 1 available and I got it crazy cheap. But volume 2 is impossible to find except for a few copies well over cover price. Argh.
Would you choose this over the Walter Simonson The Mighty Thor run?
No way. Simonson is my favorite run!
Do you think we’ll get Thor complete collections by fraction?
Do i have to read anything before these two volumes? Or would I understand the story?
Any word if there will be a reprint of Vol. 2?
Just ordered both could not pass them up 👍👍👍
Great choice Ashley, thank you for watching!
Near Mint Condition you made me man lol 😂
@@ashleysmith640 It's what I do. :)
Great overview, Omar. Based on what you said I think I'll pick these up. I was wondering: I've heard that the new X-Men Revolution By Chris Claremont Omnibus has a couple of key issues missing. Do you plan on doing an overview of that Omni?
Thank you for watching. I did an overview of that book a couple of months ago, if you want to check that out. Nothing is missing at all. I think they are just going to make another omnibus to fit between Revolution and Morrison's New X-men. They have enough issues to do that.
Thanks, Omar, I will go back and watch that video!
Anytime, brother. I hope I can help you out with that video.
Great Review, Thanks for the insight on these books
Thank you for watching.
Possibility of Thor vol 1 omnibus getting reprinted?
Any word on a Buscema Fantastic Four omnibus or stan lee vol 4? Reprint of kirby Thor omnibus vol 1?
Nothing yet.
What is your favourite Hero’s Return run?
For sure it's Buziek's Avengers. It's quite amazing.
The vol 1 doesnt seem to be available out here. Will i be able to grasp the story if i start with vol2 straightway?
It changes lots of the stories with volume 2. So you can pick it up If you want.
@@NearMintCondition thanx omar. So i wont be let down right? Haha man i trust u soo much in this.
@@santanumukhopadhyay8710 So the only thing I would worry about is there is this cast of characters that are new to Thor mythos. They are called the Dark Gods. That story arc sort of ends at the beginning of the second omnibus. Get that Simonson omnibus if you've not read it.
One more help bro... Currently Amazon India stocks have run out of omnis ...i am left with very few choices. Can you please help me select the best among the below?
(i dont have any standalone comics to support these if these are continuations) :
1. Thor heroes return vol2 omni
2. The wedding of Cyclops and Phoenix omni/ohc
3. JSA vol1 (i am not quite inclined to getting this since i am not at all familiar with the characters except obv flash and GL).
4. Grayson omni(but the value is $88)
Which one would u suggest me?
Do you know if volume 2 is out of print?
It is now.
@@NearMintCondition Alright thank you for the answer.
Get on that Patreon. $1 per month!
Awesome 👍 great 👍 super😀.
Nice omnibus man!
I just bought book 2 today off ist and yes paid tax, what a fkn joke. I got the first one last month and had to get 2 while it was fifty percent off, but I really want jsa 2 n 3 but saving money right now hoping ist keeps that book till I have the loot for those two. Thx for the video Omar and have a great one.
Same here, Comic Guy. Taxes too. :)
Wait, who was sold to image?? o__O
During the 90s. Some of the Marvel characters were lent over to Image creators for a year.
