One of the best Marvel stories in recent years, I teared up at the end like a real man.
Maaan that's why I love you Gem. Pure honesty. Often times comic books are so overhyped, that everybody is giving it positive reviews without proper criticism. Don't change Gem
I like this art a lot. It’s something that doesn’t feel like the rest of Marvel, which can sometimes seem like it’s all the same.
It sort of feels like the Darwyn Cooke art of Marvel, if you will. I've never really read anything with the Allreds, but I like their art a lot (I'm hoping that this omnibus gets reprinted). It reminds me of the work Paolo Rivera did on Waid's Daredevil.
The style is called Ligne Claire
One of my all time favorite characters and one of may all time favorite runs. Silver surfer as a rom com. The final pay off with Dawn is perfect, especially when tied into the essence of who the Surfer character is as a man. Allred's art is an acquired taste. thought it fit the story and tone perfectly.
just can't get into the art and definitely can't unsee that polka dot stuff throughout the first volume. great content.
one of my favorite recent Marvel books, a joy throughout
Took awhile to get into this run but ended up loving it. Those last few issues are emotional as hell.
Absolutely flawless review since I was 12 in 1980 I was poor and Fantasy Masterpieces was my only ticket to the cosmic escape of Silver Surfer. But as a new Gemenite I can’t wait to pull the trigger for less than $200 :-)
Awesome and honest review! I can appreciate that the art (and story for that matter) are not for everyone. But for me, this is one of the best books Marvel ever published.
I think the writing is supposed to be campy and the art is too. I like the fact that it doesn’t look or feel like any other book out there.
I absolutely love this omnibus, something totally different than a classic superhero storyline.
I just LOVE the work of the Allreds. I understand that's not for everyone, but they consistently make art that is very unique in the comic business. You should really pick up the X-Statix Omnibus if you can.
Nice review! One thing I know is Mr. Slott is a Dr. Who fan! I really enjoyed this run on SS!
I love the use of the bookmarks. Its cool to see specific panels or pages that stuck out to you
I am digging the surfer atm. Can't wait to pick this up
Probably never going to read this, but it's still nice to hear you're opinions on the story and art.👍
I actually dig the artwork. Lil Kirby, lil Moebius, also reminds me a lil Strangers in Paradise or independent comic art feel to it
Always love the honest, in depth reviews! Thanks Gem!
Was fun to see this, as I am coincidentally reading it right now. The Allreds' art is certainly an acquired taste, but I do appreciate how much heart this book has. It definitely feels like a sort of 60s sci-fi adventure of the week TV show, and part of the corny humor and story is trying to channel that feel. It was nice to read a cosmic superhero comic that wasn't taking itself so seriously, and as long as you go in not trying to make this story something it's not, I feel it's very enjoyable.
As far as other stuff you should read, I'm dying to hear your thoughts on Sleeper. I've said it before, but it's my favorite Brubaker story, and what he does with the Wildstorm universe characters in it is so awesome.
I passed on it but I’m reconsidering it now after your review . Let’s get it 👊
I liked how honest you were in the review! I also think the bookmarks helped a ton!
That run was great when I was young. I have tried rereading some of my childhood favorites and completely killed to nostalgia.
Wow, you are simply amazing with how you review things! Really appreciate the honest review. The bookmarks rock! I personally love the art and the way I see it is Allred has his own unique style and although it doesn't necessarily work with the classic look of many Marvel characters, that's the charm of it. It's like when Mignola, Matt Wagner, Sienkewicz, etc, do their take on established characters you are seeing how the characters fit with their unique look; this is compared with Byrne, Perez, Romita Jr, Buscema, Jim Lee, Cassaday, etc - all amazing masters but had a way to emulate the similar riffs of key characters - I think in the Silver & first half the Bronze Age, the branding of characters was a priority of Marvel so hence we get a "in-house style" of the characters. One thing I would have loved for you to have commented on was the double page spread in this omnibus where the Silver Surfer is on a continuous moebius strip. What did you think of that?
ah yes i remember that
Dope review, appreciate the thoughts and critiques, def gonna hunt these down in the back issue bins while I wait for an omni reprint. The sticky notes are a great idea, really kept the video at a good pace
Mike Allred is a top tier artist, especially in an era of almost all art looking the exact same
nocap i just started reading dan slotts SS
It’s crazy because this is the one time I didn’t take advantage of the under $50 price on in stock trades and this book instantly skyrocketed in price and I can’t really find it anywhere! One of my biggest regrets as of late is not jumping right at the opportunity to purchase this book when it first released!
I think the artwork was done well and agree with your opinion. Well done bud
Glad you had a good time with it once the story was said and done. I really enjoyed this book. I read the first trade digitally and was also turned off by the art at first. Then I pulled the trigger on the omnibus about 6 months later and was prepared for the Allred art style. I agree that that last arc makes the story really pay off in the end and makes the read worth it. ✌️
Love that tee, bro! Thanks for the review, Gem, as always honest and entertaining!
silver surfer has always been such an interesting character
Loved Superior Spider-Man. This Silver Surfer was like Dr Who.
Hey Gem yr honesty is always appreciated!i am not a fan of this run but we re in the minority..cheers from Greece!
The tone of this book is super light and its a feel good story. Thought it was dope. Your whale "bye bye" voice killed me😂
I really enjoyed and Dan Slots run on Silver Surfer.
view problems I still had a great time with the series.
The never Queen was definitely my favorite character that debuted in the series she was really bad ass for me especially how they had to get her heart back.
So I would give this run like maybe 7.5 out of 10 as a whole.
Great honest review. Rare do you hear criticism of this run.
One of many favourite characters
I love the Allred artwork. The story had some lovely tales and I had bought a number of the comics beforehand. I agree, it was cringeworthy in places. I think this was a classic run of comics and was an instant purchase as soon as it came out. Who wouldn't want to explore the universe with the Silver Surfer, I would be on that board in an instant.
Hell yeah a new omnibus review TWU !Been waiting for a new review Most DEF!
Bye bye🐋🐳 😂 diggin the sticky notes too bro! 🤘🏼
Ever since I saw ur review on ssb treasury edition I’ve been a silver surfer fan and have gotten some of the 90s stuff!
Silver surfer is such a dope character, loved him in Donnie cates thanos run, such a cool comcept
I was kinda digging the art to be honest. I should really read some Silver Surfer.
It's a very fit cover art for a coloring book.
I never knew omnibus existed before i found your channel, very interesting
Intro gives me chills every time it plays.
Dope review. I enjoyed the one shot type feel towards the latter half of the run. Thanks for the word Gem :-)
That spidey shirt is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Silver Surfer my favorite character
I sure hope we get a reprint been waiting for one!
Silver surfer and deadpool great cover
I feel like marvel in general doesnt do enough cool silver surfer stories.
Silver sufer black, the fallen one
I'll give it a shot. Hopefully they will resolicit this omnibus again
The back of the cover and several pages seem very busy! Great video, gem!
always love your honest reviews!
Looks dope haven't read a silver surfer book yet I think ima start with that silver surfer black
Nice review - I love this book!
Thanks for the honest review. Yeah something about Gumby surfer not feeling it haha
Thanks for the review. I almost bought this!
After I watched "Once upon in time in Hollywood" I went on a rabbit hole of '60s aesthetics. I'm kinda bummed out that this Omnibus isn't available to buy in my country.
Thank you for the great review. I like how you went through the whole book and highlight some of the art and stuff.
I think Michael Allred is an acquired taste; it's not for everyone. But I don't think it is correct to say his art lacks details. But he doesn't do excess shadow or crosshatching like many artist today. His art is defnitely inspired by Jack Kirby. And in some way, every similar to Steve Rude. They both have a love of campiness.
I loved his Madman comics back in the day. But I am also not big on his creature and alien stuff. But on a whole, I accept and love his art in spite of these minor stuff. And like you, I am not big on the Silver Surfer and Galatus eyes. Too cartoony or souless. Or maybe they are expressive. I have to see if it works in the comics.
Thanks for the great review.
Its not kirby style but Ligne Claire
I have all the regular issues for this run and I loved it. I love the Allreds art, but I like unique artwork for example Sam Kieth and Mike Mignola are 2 other artists I really dig. I also enjoyed the story for the most part it was silly and made me laugh a lot. That ending got me too. I would recommend this to anyone who wanted to check out a Silver Surfer run. And if you do like Mike Allreds art check out X-Statix, Madman and iZombie.
Keep the bookmarks Gem, your review kindda follows some linear path and you get the chance to highlight specific thoughts you had while reading. Great idea!
I got this book 2 months ago from my LCS for 25% off cover.
Would be awesome if you added a section towards the end dedicated to spoilers (with a spoiler warning). For those who have already read the books, or don't mind spoilers, but are interested in the story and your views about it.
Awesome review. I really need to pick this up.
Lovin the bookmarks
Great video, thanks for the insight.
I've heard the Slotter-man run is pretty solid but I've heard much good about this Slotter Surfer
Yep that is allread work he always was like this ever since his madman days
I think it looks dope. Stupid question: where is the best place to buy these omnibuses?
Cheapgraphicnovels.com
I've never really was a Silver Surfer fan, but after this video I think I'd give it a shoot
That Gumby comment was awesome.
Made me laugh. Still minty.
Weird...this art looks awesome to me. Props for your honesty. Also it kinda reminds me of Doctor Who in a good way.
I’m new to the omni game, so I’m curious as to how this is no longer available anywhere except the secondary market even though it came out less than 2 years ago. This omni is still on my must have list, but I’ll wait until it gets re-released. I’m not spending double MSRP (or more) that it commands on eBay!
thats what you call OOP.... or out of print.
Silver surfer is my girls fav!!
You tackled Kill or be Killed Deluxe Edition yet Gem? One of my recent favorite collections! Brubaker can do no wrong!
Not yet
you should really try reading absolute new frontier. One of my absolute favorites.
Mike Allred's art is interesting, you either love or hate it. I like the post its, maybe a little reminder on them for yourself.
whered you get that cool spider-man shirt?
I did miss out on this book after I ordered it. What can you do? Its all good got Sandman and Berserks.
Oops
I died laughing when you said they got em dressed like Eminem In 8 mile 😭😭
One of my favorite characters. Silver Surfer Black tho!!
Seems like an alright read.
80,000 here we come 👊
You saying "bye bye" cracked me the fuck up.
lol humphrey the whale
Bookmarks are good Great review of silver suffer
still think i'm gonna pick this and parable up
BYE BYE, from 8-mile! 🤣
If you’re looking to read some more manga, I’d recommend monster and Vinland saga. Monster is like a drama, mystery, thriller, while Vinland saga is More of an action/philosophical book set in the time of the Vikings.
Now I can't unsee it! 😂
This book’s great and has fantastic art. If you don’t want it I’ll take it off your hands.
Hell ya!
Looks good
I did take your recommendation about buying the house of x power of x which I loved and I have bought the dawn of x volume 1-3 but I think I will be giving this a miss as I don't like the art work
Love the shirt man 💎💎
