I read the first part of this called "Rex" on my tablet, and it's been a year or two since I did. Now I saw this omnibus is available, and it's pretty hard to resist -- especially with all the praise I've read for this run. Just from comments online, I think this must be one of the best Venom runs (if not THE best) of all time. Thanks for the vid!
I remember, I got a subscription to this comic in the mail from my best friend, which is how I got into this run. Starting with issue number one fortunately. Absolutely fantastic run! Great video, I just ordered my omnibus as well!
@@comicsaredope I forgot to also mention that I'm new to collecting and reading comics. Most of my knowledge of the character comes from YT videos and movies/shows. I've heard of this run and am really tempted to buy this omnibus.
I've passed on a lot of Marvel omnis lately because I didn't like the quality of the IMAK printer, I didn't like how thin the pages were and how I could see art from the opposite side of the page. Any chance you could let me know if the page quality has improved?
@@robd1329 Yeah I figured, I noticed they're still using the IMAK printer when I watched other overviews. I hope the upcoming Spidey 2099 isn't IMAK printed, with that $150 cover price it better have a more desirable paper quality.
@@MisterX867 i have the Amzg Spiderman vol 1 from yearsss ago and then bought last years reprint...the book is wayy thinner than original release. Its the paper quality thickness they changed. All my newer omnis are the same. If the page is white...you can def see through the next page which i hate...but oh well
Yeah the art bleeding through the pages is what made me put my Marvel purchases on hold. It actually ruined some of the art in the latest release of the JMS Spidey omni.
I try to stay away from overviews because of spoilers.....is this a standalone title?Can it just be picked up without a lot of pre reading?What about KIB?If you had to choose one over the other which would it be?
Ah man. I think I made the wrong choice. I bought Saga instead of this when this was going super cheap. Maybe I'll keep it on the back burner and look for a cheap copy again later.
I am currently reading it, but I don't think my opinion on it will change. It's pretty enternaining, the art really carries this Imo. Overall from all the venomnibus I think I would rank them this way: 1) volume 2: the stories flow pretty well together, I had a blast reading it. 2)spider-man vs venom: I don't really like venom as a bad guy, but most of the content is entertaining 3) donny Cates 4) volume 1, some good stories, but a slog to get through. 5) volume 3: disliked most of the content
I just finished Donny's Venom, absolute carnage, King in Black run, and wow, Donny's style is meant for Comics. Loved it!!
Great overview man ! Really excited Marvel put this out ! Donny Cates & Ryan Stegman really knocked it out of the park with this one !
Love the artwork in this series. Nice overview, good work
I got this and read it in 2 days. It’s my favorite run from marvel I’ve ever read. Thanks for the overview!
Great overview man, this looks like a wild run 👏
I really enjoyed King in Black but haven’t delved into the actual Venom run here

Man this was the definitive run/reinvention of Venom..Donny Cates creamy stuck the landing on King in Black
Currently reading the Venomnibus by Cates, it’s so good!
Does this conclude knull storyline or you need to buy the king in black as well?
the King in Black miniseries is included in this omnibus. Everything you need is here!
Can you just jump into this or is there any essential previous reading?
you can jump straight into this

Where did you get that venom wallpaper lol
Lol I just searched “Ryan Stegman venom” on Google and told it to show “large” results
You gotta get that venom/Knull two pack next lol

All new omnis have thin paper

@@MisterX867 only 8 months passed and the quality is even worse and DC and marvel both increased the msrp 😂

You can grab this and nothing else. The main KIB event is included here, as well as Absolute Carnage. I'd choose this over either of the event omnis.
@@comicsaredope Thanks!@
Ah man. I think I made the wrong choice. I bought Saga instead of this when this was going super cheap. Maybe I'll keep it on the back burner and look for a cheap copy again later.
Honestly I like this cover over the DM, stands out better ... I got it for 50 bucks last week from in stock trades.. couldn't pass it up...
I made the mistake of buying the Deluxe hardcovers. Oh well atleast it wasnt more than $20 bucks
Yeah, I sold my deluxes when I saw this solicited. The inclusion of Absolute Carnage and King in Black made this a must upgrade book for me.
@@comicsaredope i think im going to do the same on selling off the deluxes just to have it all in one book
