this, THIS is the way a hardcover comic review should be. Thanks for talking about the art, story, and the binding
This is a gorgeous book that im happy FINALLY exists but not happy with the designs :/. I mean am gonna love the hell out of this but really so much awesome artwork to pick a boot...
J.H. Williams 3 was finishing up Promethea with Alan Moore during this time too.
Between those two books, it was mind-blowing how he kept the high quality art of both as " must buys " during this time ( with Promethea just inching out in my opinion ).
Amy Reeder and Trevor McCarthy did an awesome job filling in and maintaining the high standard of artwork this series set from the beginning.
It may arguably be one of the best rotation of artists on a series since Neil Gaiman's Sandman ( which J.H. Williams 3 also did some gorgeous work ).
As for Greg Rucka and Marc Andrayko, they fleshed out and delivered some of the best character work that DC hasn't done in a long while ( And yes I'm still waiting for Kate Spencer Manhunter to get the oversized or omni treatment it deserves ).
In all, I'm very looking forward to displaying this book on my book shelf very soon.
Sorry for being long-winded about this amazing series...
WE NEED A NEW PRINTING OF ABSOLUTE PROMETHEA!! (as well as an Omnibus format printing as well)
I preferred the preview cover but can't really complain, so glad this book made it through solicitation limbo. The Detective run is so damn good. I still hope Rucka makes his way back to Kate Kane one day.
I swear the best Batman/bat family period was around this time, 2005-2011. Even batgirl by Bryan Q Miller was good. You also had Paul Dini with his multiple miniseries , great events like battle of the cowl, you also had Morrison’s Batman.
Agree greatly! Add in Secret Six too
Red Robin
Yeah that is my favorite era
are the Paul Dini miniseries you mentioned collected in his Omnibus? which ones were you referring to, I can hunt them down. cheers
OMG YESSS! I HAVE BEEN WAITING *SO* *LONG* FOR A BATWOMAN OMNIBUS, AND IT'S FINALLY HERE!!!
The advertised cover was infinitely better! This isn’t TERRIBLE, but just…. WHY?
Was watching some old upcoming books on your channel from 2019 and it made me laugh seeing this book on there lol. But hey glad it finally came out after being delayed so much rather than being cancelled forever! :)
Can't Wait to have on my hands! JH Williams it's a damm genius with Rucka writing damm what a team.
I’m really excited for this book. I like Kate Kane. I’d like to see her take more of a central stage among the general audience someday. I’m also cool with that cover. It looks very dynamic and action packed.
And it be cool for James Gunn to reflect all that in his DCU. He can do Batwoman (Kate Kane alone) justice including letting her part of the Batfamily.
I've only read Elegy, so I'm excited to get this and read the whole thing!
FINALLY!!! Would've loved to get this one cheaper since it was originally listed for 75 dollars. Oh well, I guess. Why haven't Greg Rucka's Wonder Woman and Punisher runs been collected yet??? Should've already happened.
Need to get the Batwoman Omnibus !!! Sadly only have the 1st Batwoman Trade Paperback Pre New 52 by Greg Rucka and J.H. Williams I'm a huge fan of the character and while the Batwoman tv series from The CW was hit and miss I'm a huge fan of the character of Batwoman / Kate Kane.
I love Kate Kane too. I love Kate Kane as my favorite hero's cousin. I hate CW's Arrowverse for destroying Kate Kane just because Ruby Rose left the building. And since James Gunn said he will include the Bat-family in his DCU, I hope Batwoman (Kate Kane alone this time) will be included in the DCU Batfamily where she and the other batfamily members can be done justice together at the same time.
J.H. Williams' artwork is in a class by itself. #nextlevel
For sure.
Great overview Omar. Finally coming out. And please do a DC Omnibus reading order of leading up to the New 52, the New 52 and Rebirth. Lots of character omnis but don’t know the order to read them all in.
Due for me tomorrow, can’t wait I’ve read the first hardcover it was fantastic. Cover is a stinker alright, considering how beautiful the interior art is and so many great single issue covers!
I managed to buy it in a store from the shelf one week before it's release date, maybe they didn't realise that it wasn't supposed to be on shelf until 12 October, but lucky for me 🤭😁
The powers that be at DC just can't help but approve throwaway designs for the final product.
Liked the originally solicited cover, but this one looks great too.
Very excited to get this one. Thanks for the overview Omar!
My book arrived on Saturday, which means I can now look at parting with the floppies.
Knew why the team walked, but didn't know that 25 was never printed.
I'm OK with the cover, ut do belive that they could had used something different, but at the end of the day, the book is now here.
Thanks for the review. Just got to find the time
I know why they left the book but had no idea #25 was done. They should have included kinda Empyre style or like the John Byrne Galactus story on the FF Omni. Really that is a shame to just leave unappreaciated.
Been re-eading ASM1 with Untold Tales and put them down for the night. Watched this video and OMG, the art in this book is beautiful.
YES Can't wait.
I hope we get a collection that involves some of the miscellaneous stuff like; Tynion’s DC run, the Rebirth Batwoman book and the Gotham City Monsters book. Cause I would love to get all the Kate Kane appearances in two or three books. Makes the rereads so much easier.
This comic can be very helpful in bringing Kate Kane aka Batwoman to life in James Gunn's DCU where the character can be in the right hands. I hate CW's Errorverse for not doing Kate Kane justice including destroying her and replacing her with a rat infested imposter. And would Mackenzie Davis or Wallis Day be a good cast for James Gunn's DCU Batwoman (Kate Kane alone this time)?
Waiting for mine to come in the mail. Artwork looks amazing. I’ve never read this run & I’ve heard great things about it. Great review.
Wasn’t planning on getting this but dammit the gorgeous art convinced me that I need to add this omni to my collection
That, as they say, is that. 😎
To me this is the best non-Morrison book DC has released in the past decade. 10/10.
Hell of a seal of approval.
I got this originally and where I read it first is in digital trades on my Barnes and noble Nook and really loved it. I ordered the book in September and waiting for my omnibus too show up.
Think I'm going to need to pick this up just for the art, absolutely stunning.
Hey Omar, interesting looking Omni. Might be worth investigating as something different. I have Batwoman "Elegy" in the DC GN series I collect. I should get around to reading it but have had a few things happening lately. Another house move is pending. 🙄😳Take care mate
Also absolutely luv Batwoman! So much so I have the Sideshow PF and the art print in my collection too! I have Elegy and the first 4 New 52 collected issues #1 - #24 in hardcover so I dunno if I really need this other than as an object d'art. And Williams has many tributes in his artwork to my fave ever Goth band and looks like one of his,Fields of the Nephilim which is represented here too,on the t-shirt of that bad guy at the bottom of the page where you/Omar is commenting on the art/lips of Batwoman!
I need that book i my life :) cant wait to get it next week :) Thx Omar.
Pre-ordered is baby , can't wait for this to come!!!
FINALLY! I feel like I've waited forever for this lol
A glimpse into Batwoman's sole.
Lol - I see what you did there!
Yeah, not a fan of the dustjacket but man I can't wait for them to ship mine. So happy we are finally getting this.
Another great video!
I have had this pre-ordered from amazon forever it feel like and I will be happy to get it hopefully.
Trying to decide. I have the deluxe. Which I love. And I know I like the three issues Rucka and Jock did, though the rest of the content is a blind buy. Probably would have been more interested if DC had let Williams finish his arc. Not like DC have done anything nite worthy with the characters love life since
Attack of the splash pages!
Really looking forward to getting this one in the next 1-2 weeks. Prefer the original dust jacket cover, though.
Exactly what I have been waiting for.
My copy is on the way. Cannot wait.
So the only DC stuff I collect has specific names on it so far - Jack Kirby, Alan Moore, Walter Simonson...
But the art of JH Williams might be enough to get me to try this one. I seriously might buy a damn omnibus edition on the basis of the art alone 😆 wow!
So to clarify this collects the non new 52 run aswell as the 4 trades of the new 52 run. So it be just volume 5 and 6 of the new 52 run to buy
Hey Omar,any news on the Hellions collected edition by Zeb Wells?Which collects issues #5&6?those issues are more important for hellions than x of swords,its really annoying that currently they are not collected with hellions tpb
Amazing omnis. Fantastic story.
This book look amazing! Thanks for the video 👍
So much better than anything the CW has done lately. Erasing the real Batwoman and replacing her with an imposter. Disgraceful.
I am so with you on all that. James Gunn said he will introduce the Bat-family in his DCU. That has to even mean he will include Batwoman (Kate Kane ALONE THIS TIME) in his DCU where she and the other batfamily members can be done justice together at the same time. And I hope that Mackenzie Davis or Wallis Day will play the character this time.
Finally!!! So glad this omni was done. I have to agree, I am not a fan of the cover art. The focus is the boot tread, not her. There is an abundance of cool art they could have used. Now all we needed are some catwoman omnis.
One is coming next year
@@Almighty_Mage right, saw that. I can't belive it took this long for them to do one. Hopefully the "New 52" series shows up as an omni too.
So who are your other 2 top artists? J.H. Williams' art is indeed beyond incredible!
He did a video two years ago with his top 20 artist.
Yeah… DC why??? Out of all the beautiful covers by Williams during the series run, why did you go with this one? Good thing the contents inside are so fantastic. Custom dust jacket, anyone?? Thanks for the preview Omar, the artwork is gorgeous. But that cover…I’m very disappointed.
As I have the original trades, I am on the fence about getting this one.
You convinced me. Ill get this
In your opinion Omar, what was a better book return of batgirl Omni or this one, I’m torn in which one to get! Thanks for your time and amazing reviews
Can’t believe they changed that cover.
'bout time, should have went with deluxe edition cover for dust jacket
For people complaining that DC is too woke it’s crazy to think that they weren’t allowed to do what they wanted to do.
What was the drama, bit hard to look up 'Batwoman drama' and not just get the CW show and angry people on the internet complaining about women
This was years ago, before the woke bug arrived to DC. Having said that, I'm surprised that the current regime hasn't brought back Batwoman but then again, she is old news and the woke mandate is all about making the headlines, hence the bisexual Robin announcement.
@@hobbes6392 She was gonna marry her girlfriend and apparently that was an issue in 2013.
@@LiteratureInPictures Yeah that makes sense, something very mundane that old boomer-ass dudes wouldn't like
@@hobbes6392 There's a whole lot you could get into about that situation. Didio decided marriage was banned. It was both not a good look because of Batwoman being their most prominent gay character and a bizarre editorial edict. Most of all, I've never understood how they let the creative team get to that point in their story then pulled the rug out from under them. That's just bad management.
(Kate belongs with Renee though lbr).
What is going on with the cover art? First Deathstroke now this.
Could you please do an over view of the Tales of the Batman by JH Williams?
Can't decide between this and Gail Simone's Batgirl Omni...Accordingly with your videos probably both. But which one should go first?
Hi Omar, I got mine a few days ago, do I need to buy trades vol 5, and 6 to finish this run? I wish they could’ve put those in here too to finish the run. Wouldn’t a second omni be tiny?
It feels like theirs a lot of controversy around that book. When he said this bin cancelled time and time again.
Nope. Just sales.
Pre-ordered this literally two years ago, got an email two days ago cancelling my order. 🤯
What!!? Where did you get it from?
I bet this hardcover sold like 4 copies. Im not even joking, ive seen the sales figures for many of these hardcovers and ones like this literally sold less than 1000 copies to retailers which means even less than that in actual sales
Retail equate a fraction of the books sold. The book market is also a big factor of sales. No one really shares those numbers out as only a certain group knows exactly.
I know they say you shouldn't judge a book by its cover but I want to skip on this for the cover alone.
Sometimes I wish that DC would propose DM variant just like marvel, so I could avoid their verry strange omni cover decicions...
looks amazing but think it deserves an Absolute. Any chance for that?
I’d like to get this but I already have all the trades/HCs.
I wish Jim Lee drew this entire omnibus or Marc Silvestri, J. Scott Campbell, Brett Boothe, etc. Only the 1990s icons haha
You like 90s art? Did you enjoy Hush?
@@NearMintCondition I only live for the legends. Yes, I did. I like how he's editor in chief and draws at the same time. Jim was on his A game during the initial wildcats run and then his style changed a little. I like some of the new artists too. Jorge Jiminez's art is EVERYTHINGGGGG!!! I wish J. Scott Campbell is still interiors.
@@NearMintCondition I love omnibus' but some have pretty atrocious artwork. I try to be open minded though. I wonder what DC and Marvel are thinking when they hire these artists. It really boggles the mind.
Gotta say I was anticipating this so much I’m glad it’s coming out. Not a fan of this cover Bc the other cover was so much better.
What is your full list of favourite artists?
I'm usually the one to keep my mouth shut when it comes to covers, but...😬
Can I start reading batwoman with this omnibus?
Mine has got like zero eye so far. I hope it will flex a bit with time, maybe I should teach it some Yoga.
Teach it and it will learn.
What is the difference between Batgirl and Batwoman
They're different mantles used by different characters. Barbara Gordon was/is the "main" Batgirl most of the time, though Cassandra Cain and Stephanie Brown also frequently use the Batgirl mantle, and now about to have their own ongoing series called "Batgirls". Batwoman on the other hand is Kate Kane, Bruce Wayne's cousin (non of the Batgirls are blood related to Bruce). She's a bit of a newer character, only made her debut in 2006, while Barbara Gordon is an older character, she debuted in the 60s.
@@TheUnstoppableBar knew they were different wonder how they came about. Forgot Kane is a Wayne. Came out of no where. Plus the bright red hair.. Use to get Cain and Kane mixed up. Very helpful. Thank you
@@francoisdemorcy5084 there used to be a Batwoman character decades ago who was very different from the current Batwoman. She wasn't Bruce's cousin, she was actually created to be his lover. But then she was killed off and forgotten for like 2 or so decades. Then in the mid 2000s DC decided they want to deversify their universe, so they came up with the idea of a new bat family member who is a lesbian and Jewish. And so that's how Kate Kane came to be.
@@TheUnstoppableBar thanks
Great question- thanks for asking this
Art is awesome no doubt but how is the story??
Fantastic. This omnibus really demonstrates that Kate's story is really one long story across all her appearances. I love it.
Hey, I have a question about this Omnibus, i hope you can answer me.
Since DC started using poor quality paper in recent years (from december of 2018 if my memory is correct) for their paperbacks and Deluxes... I want to know does this Omni have that new paper or good old glossy one they used before?
DC's paper quality is good, way better than Marvel.
why tf didn't they collect the final 2 volumes?! Sigh... this is the worst part of the comics industry, they actively make it as annoying as possible to read complete stories.
Actually it was a good idea, when dc change the creative team the series went downfall.
@@TextosyGraficos my point is western comics make it unnecessarily annoying for new people to figure out how to even read comics.
@@IbbyMelbourne yeah, the good news is indie comic still easier to start reading
She likes cops. Military background
OmniBOOT!!
This cover in my opinion is just terrible the main focus is on her foot. The inside content is good but that dust jacket was a bad decision. They should have stuck with either the first initial cover with her standing with the flames or the one they were going to release with.
Think I might throw out a dust jacket for the first time
Bloody DC. This dust jacket is not as good as the advertised one.
I just don't understand the logic behind that cover, it looks like a recycled house ad. In my opinion, that image would have looked great as the back cover under the dust jacket but definitely not as the dust jacket cover.
I usually love DC's designs for modern comics (golden, silver and bronze ages are a different story). They usually are very graphic, smart and interesting. At least the interior designs are still stellar.
The cover sucks, not worse than Deathstroke, but still bad
BOOTmnibus!
Custom dust jacket coming right up!
2nd
Sixth you mean.
1st 🥇
Well done
I'd have to rip off that Maddow page before I enjoy the rest of the book.
When did batwomen become lesbian?
She was always a lesbian.
@@saito0969 wow! Ok. Didnt even know.
Why does dc give us these crap covers
Pictures don't do this new cover justice. It is worse!
Why put out a book on a show that is a disaster because the focus is not on quality story line.
I WANT THIS!!!! LOVE BATWOMAN
