    GM: goes back to saying “Claremount.”

    Wow! I didn't realize how valuable an Omni can become, and hard to get your hands on in some cases. Just the fact that you can tell us about reprints coming for certain Omni's is a big money saver for people who don't know, and might pay a lot for them unnecessarily otherwise. Makes that Gem Mint You Tube membership worth every cent, when you think about the money Gem Mint might save you. Especially if your a newer comic and Omni buyer like me. Great info and nice review of these X Men Omni.

      @germaholic 5 лет назад

      Yeah, I have Inferno Prologue, Fatal Attractions, and Wedding of Cyclops and Jean Grey OHC, and they just look like omnibuses to me, like omnibuses in all but name only, and I really don't understand what the difference is or why Omnibus is better than ohc, since it just seems like a label.

      The X-men that everyone love really begin with UXM omnis 1,2,3, and 4 coming soon. For me it goes all along untill the end of the Chris Claremont era (X-Men by Claremont & Jim Lee Vol.2) I have almost all collected or working on it for that period. (the best X-Men period)

    Amazing review! Back then I found it exciting how eventually the artists
    started experimenting with the artwork more and more, but looking back
    at them now I'd say my interest as an adult stops around the age when it
    started to distant from the original visuals and clean, classic look
    too much, probably around early to mid 90's. So as someone who has the
    Uncanny X-Men omnibus and wouldn't enjoy owning re-prints, do I really
    need the Classic X-Men omnibus or not?

      classic xmen has the same material as uncanny but additional pages and story...kind of a double dip but you do get more content

    Just about to watch but really curious to know what you think the likelihood of the silver-age and the Jim Lee omni’s being reprinted given they’ve been out of print for like what 8 years plus in some cases?

      i think the are very likely...that department of marvel is now watching these types of videos...which is why we're getting some of the reprints that have been announced...mainly Omar from Near Mint condition is whispering in their ear.
