We’re definitely living in a golden age for Charles Soule collected editions, between Daredevil, Darth Vader, and Swamp Thing, Evan the She Hulk collection from a couple years back. Underrated writer, right next to Tom Taylor.
His red lantern run was awesome. I don't really read marvel but I would check out his Darth Vader and daredevil. Could you give me a quick synopsis of his DD RUN
Amnesia! Matt gains a sidekick. Fisk is elevated to an unexpected position. Matt is elevated to an unexpected position. Attack on New York! Matt takes control. The death of... well... you'll find out yourself!
His run on Curse words from image also deserves the ohc treatment.
@@kal-el2129 Just to help out. Search for Curse Words on kickstarter. They have a deluxe edition. If you message Ryan Browne they might still have some copies.
@Moheaddinbody, thank you so much for the tip,I´m definitely buying this. This looks like a marvel style omni which image should start doing for more series like Gideon Falls for example.grts
Man the art is just gorgeous throughout that! Love all the non-standard layouts in the Swampy scenes. Can’t wait for my pre-order of this to show up. Hopefully Charles Soule doesn’t feel too burned about not getting his name on the cover tho, bad call DC
Yeah that was a very poor decision..
Pumped for this! Great work as always Omar. Thanks for helping the transition into this hobby easier for me
I'm so stoked for this, Love me some Swamp Thing!
Nice video Omar. I thought it was just me who liked Charles Soule's issues better than Snyder's. I already had the deluxe edition but i got this for the second half. My copy came last week (shout out to Speedy Hen) and it's a lovely book. Now, where's that Alan Moore omni?
Take care everyone.
Day one purchase for me, dusk jacket is a little whack though might have to customise my own. Great overview love me some new 52 👌🔥🔥🔥
@Ryan Wilson like 20-30$
@Ryan Wilson yeah what Brandon said roughly $20-30 but usually well worth it
@@DMM9619 where can you get customized dust jackets?
@@comixknight3843 if your on any of Facebook omni groups there are a ton of people who could help you out with a custom jacket if your looking. Unbound omnibus, for example. I can’t give any specific names for obvious reasons… good luck 🤞🏻
I'm still surprised mark millar and Brian k vaughans swamp thing books haven't been collected. Even a Rick V. OHC and one for Andy diggle too. Swamp thing has so many great runs .
How in the world did they not put Soule’s name on the cover?! Algorithms:)
Was thinking the same thing. He wrote more issues than Scott.
@@deenydude7 so disappointing. It seems like if it’s not one thing with DC it’s something else that is goofed. Regardless, I’m selfishly still happy the book is coming out. I just feel bad for Charles Soule
Scott Snyder giving Swamp Thing wings is as badass as Donny Cates giving venom wings.
I read these issues when they came out, and even though I loved the extreme horror in Snyders run, Soules run blew my mind. I cried during the last issue, and i had never done that before with a comicbook. The ending is so beautiful and almost poëtic.
I LOVED the entire New 52 Swamp Thing. In fact, I would be hard-pressed to read a Swamp Thing story that I'm not able to find enjoyment in. However, "ABSOLUTELY NOT! HELL NO!" was the precise right answer to "Is this as good as Alan Moore's Swamp Thing?"
Never read any swamp thing before mainly cause I never really understood who or what it was.. well I loved this video the artwork is amazing. I just went on OPB and ordered this book and the 3 absolute swamp thing volumes by Alan Moore! Can’t wait to jump in
Did you end up liking them?
Really excited for this one! Art looks good
I've never really been interested in Swamp Thing. But you and some other guys online give Alan Moore's run such high praise...
A must have for me. I actually love the cover. Awesome deep dive into the overview on this Omar! I really enjoyed the time you spent on this.
New 52 Swamp Thing is 🔥 I feel they executed bringing these characters into the main DC universe extremely well.
Forgot how beautiful the art was, already preordered.
Thank you 🙏 Omar for a wonderful review of swamp thing omnibus
Nice. I have had this on pre-order forever. In case anyone missed it, you can also now pre-order Absolute Swamp Thing Volume 3 (at least on Amazon - my only option). Lastly, if anyone is on the fence about the Nancy Collins Omnibus 1) is it a truly beautiful and quality book, 2) it is very under rated in its quality of story telling. It is one of the best Swamp Thing runs, maybe geared towards adults a bit more because of the pacing and topics, but it is very well done. All of them are worth the premium coin.
FYI you can pre-order the Absolute Swamp Thing 3 for 50 bucks on DCBS (Discount Comic Book Service)
@@Kkliq Do you know if this is available in Canada?
I’m so excited for this!!! Thanks Omar!
Let's be honest, nothing's better than Alan Moore's Swamp Thing. But this is pretty good!
that omni should be out fairly soon, within the year
I'm currently reading through the Rick Veitch run on DCU infinite, planning to go all the way through to current
Veitch is so good, wish he got to finish his run
@@DrDoomPool yeah. I had already read everything prior to his stuff before getting dcui, and as much as Moore's run can be read as it's own thing, having the knowledge of what the series was beforehand enhances the experience a lot. I think Veitch carries that forward pretty well
Awesome dude. I recently filled out my Swamp Thing collection with singles so I have everything up to this new 52 stuff, so this will be a must buy for me. Ive only read the Alan Moore stuff and just started reading my Bronze age omni earlier this week. So far, it is pretty cool and the art is fantastic.
Me just hoping for a regular alan moore swamp thing omnibus. At least this is a step in the right direction for DC.
Ugh, if that happens they better use the original colors
@@kevinluther8373 Yeah, I never bought the absolutes for that reason and the bad binding.
Sadly I think they will use the Absolute files for the Omnibus when that comes out. Which means new colors.
Dang I said I was not going to upgrade my trade paperbacks, but I am really getting in to omnis, I think it is because of this channel, lol. Also it was a great run, it desereves to be collected in the best format.
Lol, same for me. Until a year ago I opted for the tpb option 70% of the time. Nowadays, I might even be skipping getting a story if it isn’t oversized and in hardcover.
I prefer oversized and hardcover too, but if tpbs is the only option and if it is a good story I will get it and just hope to upgrade later, lol.
SWAMP THING!
Sold but really not digging the cover and spine, oh well guess I have to just get a custom print for it
I want this! Loved alan moore run
Superman and Swamp Thing teamed up in an early Alan Moore story:
DC Comics Presents #85 "The Jungle Line"
Collected in "DC Universe by Alan Moore" TPB
Always wondered when Charles Soule's Swampy would get a deluxe hardcover. I kinda regret buyin' the Scott Snyder book now. This omni looks super good though. I'm still disappointed that Batwoman's big HC is taking forever to come out. Greg Rucka's Wonder Woman also deserves the omnibus treatment.
Just finished this book last night. Soule’s run is stronger. But in Snyder’s run, there’s an interesting plot device he invented which destroys a timeline but push forward the continuity nonetheless . This is way ahead of the time when HoX/PoX started.
This overview is what prompted me to order this omnibus. Just pored through my copy last night. Tons of great art, and I'm looking forward to reading it. Thanks, Omar!
I just picked this up off Amazon, I've not started it yet because I'm reading the Masters of the Universe Marvel omnibus. But the point of my comment is in the Masters of the Universe/Injustice comic, Swamp Thing comes to Eternia to kidnap Heman. Well I mean you see him first and the Batman and so on.
Getting this and Avengers the Gathering. Best week in a long time for books.
Definitely picking it up. Haven’t read yet so I’m looking forward to that as well. I know Charles Soule was super happy about him getting an omnibus, way for DC to disrespect him. Sad.
This is definitely a day 1 pickup!!
To the tune of Lauryn Hill’s Doo-Wop (That Thing)
“Swamp Thing, Swamp Thing, Swamp Thiiiiii-eeeeeeeeeeeeee-ing”
At least DC spelled Soule's name correctly. Anymore got to appreciate the small things from DC.
Thanks for the overview Omar... I'm already have the Snyder's run so, do you know if there's (or gonna be) another collected version to get only the Charles Soule run?? Greetings!
can't wait for this! the art/colors really pop in this preview
Man I can’t wait for this one
After seeing your review I’ve placed my order.
If you like Swamp Thing at all, you will not be disappointed. It’s a very good run.
Another one for the wishlist! Binding looks great as well.
My expectation for this series is very high. great overview as usual
Have the animal man omnibus so I guess I need this one too
Ive been waiting for this Omnibus since i finished the Animal Man Omi when it came out!!! Very excited to pick this up!
Well you sold me, Omar. Wasn’t sure if I was grabbing this but now I know. Thank you! Not sure if I like the spine though.¯\_(ツ)_/¯ As always I appreciate the content! :) Algorithm gang
Lord Omar is just testing if we actually watch the video ;-)
There was another one at 5:45. Both caught me off guard at first, but going back I actually really liked it.
Damn, the disrespect. That's unfortunate Soule's name was not credited on the cover. Soule's run was to me much better than Snyder's.
I will be interested in how ram v swamp will be like once it gets a collection. Have heard its fantastic.
Wooooo!!! DC review And its OMNIS!! I hope we can have the Death metal deluxe edition soon
Once I finish collecting all the Hellblazer trades I'm gonna give Swamp Thing a try. If the Bronze Age omnibus is still available I'll try that out, if not I'll get this.
So puzzling that Charles Soule was omitted from the cover credits! I have the Snyder OHC but still on the fence with this one with so many omnis on the horizon. Great binding though!
Already pre-ordered on Amazon. I'm hyped cause Scott Snyder's run hasn't been collected here in Brazil, only Charles Soules' run, which I now have upgraded to this Omnibus. That leaves only Brian K Vaughan's run out of my collected Swamp Thing collection, hope they release a deluxe edition since it's only two paperbacks, and they're impossible to find.
0:25.....Omar flipped us off😂😂😂😂😂
The New 52 logo tends to have that reaction for a lot of us long time collectors
@@JessNukethedangthing is it because after 6 years they are still releasing new 52 omnibuses???
Nice....but, Vol 3 Alan Moore for Christmas is what I'm waiting for (fingers crossed) This would look good after brightest day though. Thank you for your time. -side note, 100 Bullets is amazing- thanks for the tip.
I have the Snyder HC but never got the rest of the series, really need to get on that sooner than later. Nice video 👍
wow an amazing omni this is
I'd love to upgrade my paperbacks, but I really don't love HUGE omnis. If they had split this into two volumes I'm 99% sure I'd have upgraded. With the size though I'll be debating with myself until it releases I'm sure. I share your sadness about Soule not being named the dust jacket. Met him at MegaCon one year, he's a great guy and a fantastic author.
Forgot how amazing that art is!
Great overview, thanks Omar. Got my copy already, can’t wait to read it. The art is awesome throughout, Paquette draws a great Superman in the early issues. Odd that Soule doesn’t get credit on the cover though, I think that’s poor form from DC.
Most anticipated omni of 2021!
Very cool man!! Thank you.
Thank you
I agree with much of what you've said. Charles > Scott in this Swamp Thing run. Also, I think it is quite unfair to compare Alan's work on ST with anyone else since his work on the character was so groundbreaking that writers after him use that as their template. I really enjoy watching your reviews. I'm discovering a lot comics I should give a try based on your recommendation seeing that we basically have the same tastes on stories.
Hello, Omar. The book looks nice and I haven't read it but I have read the Moore collection. It is a good one. Question, now that N52 is no more, do you consider that the stories in this omni are good enough to have collected? This may not be a fair question 😂 but I do really want to know your opinion because for me N52 was good but not good enough to buy and collect in omni. Thanks, and take care 👍🏾
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Great overview. Pretty cool, even if it’s a bit Crisis on Infinite Fonts.
Great review
Vertigo was not a different Earth, it was an imprint with titles aimed at mature audiences. It had creator-owned titles (like Preacher, for example) which were each set in their own independent reality; but it also had titles that offered a more "mature" take on established DC characters. These DC characters were still part of the DC Universe and even appeared in non-Vertigo DC titles from time to time (like Swamp Thing, who attended Hal Jordan's funeral in the aftermath of the The Final Night crossover). Come on Omar, you know this.
I understand where you are coming from, but did you want me to have a 30 minute video explaining to newer readers what Vertigo was instead of simplifying it a little? Holy crap...that's not a bad idea.
My copy arrived earlier in the week. Cant wit to crack it open!
Can't wait to get this book!
Woth all these N52 Omnis, what do you think the chances are we'll get a Justice League Dark Omni?? Would love that!
man, that justice league dark forever evil storyline would almost need it's own omnibus with how big it is lol
DC’s lack of uniformity with collected editions, is killing me. That company is a disaster.
9:28. Sure he gave him wings. But swamp thing used to be able to teleport instantly via the green so it felt like a downgrade.
It made for a cool toy. :) teleportation is hard to make into action figure form. Just ask Magik.
Looking forward to this omni because i sold my trades. I don´t understand why Soule´s name isn´t on the cover,he even wrote a couple of issues more if i´m not mistaken. I liked his run more than Snyder´s,it was a bit more´sophisticated´
Preordered at two places. I hope I get one!
I need a Brightest Day Omnibus Reprint.... DAMN!
Yeah. They keep reprinting Infinite and Final Crisis but not the others. I personally want 52 Omnibus
Still waiting on my copie of this just a few more days😁😁
Comic bound did a video on this a week ago so I thought it had already came out
Obviously very different books, but if you were only choosing one omni between this and Thunderbolts, which one do you go with?
I like new 52, I like swamp thing, I like omnis. A lot coming out this week though. May have to wait a week or so. I’m in the dog house with my wallet as it is
Snyder was a busy man during new 52 era huh 🤔 would this be a good pick up for a new reader of the green, or should I start with Moore?
nice, wondered if this was good
Most under appreciated DC character!
Character has Absolutes, Deluxe editions, a new monthly, variety of TPBs, movies, a TV show...hardly underappreciated.
@@davidc1664 And yet the mainstream culture have no idea who he is. Even having his own show cancelled for lack of viewers.
@@davidc1664 And just because he has numerous collected editions doesn’t mean a wide audience know who he is. It’s still in the end a niche.
Hello Omar. Can you include miss printing errors on your reviews? For example, the superman omnibus by grant morrisson has a lot of problems, pages without text, error on the credits name, pages without numbering. Etc?
I went over the credits and missing page numbers on my overview. I hadn’t reread anything past the first issue of Morrison’s animal in omnibus format and it was issue 2 that had the missing word bubbles on one page.
Ugh, I wasn't planning on buying this, but I want it now. Is this a good starting point for someone who hasn't read any Swamp Thing before? I do plan to read Alan Moore's someday.
I would start with alan moore for sure , from someone who jus started reading the series themself its def all the hype . And im gonna prob be picking this up soon anyways so its up to u !!
Easy buy for me
10:43... Uncanny Omar matrix glitch
Batman was in the Alan Moore Swamp thing run and he played a HUGE role in one of the stories toward the end of that run, and Swamp Thing also appeared in Batman 522 from the 90s, so having Superman in a Swamp Thing comic really isn't that shocking.
As usual, DC makes weird design choices with the New 52 thing on the spine. It's not even surprising anymore
Also, i miss that there's not Table of Content, i like those
Time to sell the Scott Snyder Deluxe and upgrade
Do I have to read anything before Alan Moore’s run on Swamp Thing, or can I just start reading from there?
Can start from there I think. Don’t forget Millar/Hester run which is amazing and nobody talks about
@@davidc1664 Oh ok, thanks!
Think Alan Moore’s run will get an omni eventually?
For sure it Will!
DC killing it with their recent omnibuses.
Justice League, Superman Tomassi and Flashpoint still to come.
Empyre and All New Wolverine are all Marvel have for the rest of the year.
I just picked up the Snyder/Paquette OHC so probably I pass on this but the Snyder part is fantastic
Why pass? Has the whole run, not just snyders. Sell the OHC 😂
I got it for 89 bucks on cheap
My man!
So I’m about to commit sacrilege. I really hate this art. I’m about 10 issues in, and while it’s beautiful and vibrant, it is IMPOSSIBLE for me to tell if a page is a one page or two page spread. Most of the pages run over each other and have matching transition colors and panels that would make you think it’s a full page spread but it isn’t. So it’s really unnatural to read because I’m constantly spending too much time figuring out the panel reading order.

Algorithm comment :)
Alan moores swamp thing is overrated. This new 52 run is god tier.
Awesomeness! I started with the Bronze Age Omnibus (which was mostly very, very good). Then I of course had to read Alan Moore's run again, because of the Absolute Editions (and your video's!). I'm now on #81 and have both the Nancy Collins & New 52 Omnibus waiting to be read on my shelf. It's all really good stuff, but I've been sidetracked by 'Invasion' because #81 is a tie-in! Another cool video, thanks!
