Great review. I feel kind of the same as you. This definately isn't my favorite run or even one I'm excited for. However, since I would like a full WW omni run i picked it up, PLUS i have a feeling if no one picked up these, we'd NEVER see the ones we ACTUALLY cared about.
That's what I'm thinking too brother. I buy this, they make a William Messner Loebs omnibus.
Pumpin' out da hits today!!!!! 2 for 2!!!!!! Great vids as always!!!!!
Thank you, brother!
I am a fan of all things Wonder Woman, good, bad, & ugly! So I had this on my wish list as soon as I saw it. The spine is gorgeous and stands out amongst the other DC omnibus on the shelf. I agree that they should put out a Messner-Loebs Om nibus.
Thank you for watching and glad to see someone else is a fan of Messner-Loebs' run!
I would have preferred the rucka or or byrne stuff in omnibus over this but whatever
I'd love to one day get a Rucka omnibus.
This run is better than both of those to me (Byrne takes about a year to get his footing on the book and the Rucka run has mostly subpar artwork to me, I'm not referring to the Rebirth run)
I have never read this run & just hiketeia as far as the rucka run but i liked it enough to want to read the rest of that run
Just to be accurate: George Perez inked the Return of Donna Troy stories; the pencil art was done by DC legend Jose Luis Garcia Lopez.
Could you please do a recent reads for Deathstroke and Usagi Yojimbo? I really enjoy your videos. What TPBs does this omnibus collect?
I am deffinatlty picking up next month it looks awesome.
I had never read a WW story before this omnibus so I was a little nervous as to whether I'd like it but imho I think it's an ok start for new readers. It's rich in Greek mythos and very info heavy in a way that makes you feel like you really learned something. While reading it I was noticing names of characters in other DC media that I wouldn't have beforehand, which then made it even more enjoyable. Sometimes a little wordy and it felt like each page had a new layout for panels but all in all I loved it.
Holy crap! I literally was just emailing someone back about this run. It’s wordy, so set time aside. The art is gorgeous. My exact email!
Not a huge fan of Jimenez' run but I'm such a WW fanboy I might have to pick this up. I've read the run before and it was generally enjoyable. Nothing spectacular but it was solid. And I love the artwork. Plus wrap-around cover is definitely is a huge selling point. I still don't know why they didn't give Perez' vol 2 or 3 wrap-arounds. Trinity Rebirth vol 2 got a wrap-around....and WW by Perez vol 2 didn't. Come on.
His art is amazing. and yeah when I reviewed all three of the Perez WW books, that always irked me about volume 2.
In my opinion the best story in this omnibus is Wonder Woman a day in the life, the one where Lois lane interviews Wonder Woman some fun character highlights and interactions also a rucka omnibus would be great I mean they collected Brian azzarellos run I think it was azerrello ultimate edition which in my opinion was pretty great but he really changed a lot about Wonder Woman for the worse I hate the daughter of Zeus origin it makes her basically little more then a female Hercules that’s boring. I love her old origin, molded from clay brought to life and empowered by a group of goddesses and also Hermes, depending on who’s telling it, anyways azzarello did some cool things especially with the gods but he made Wonder Woman Xena warrior princess and that’s not who she is especially with the god of war stuff, when azarello made her god of war (good thing rebirth abandoned that) its a cool concept but maybe for an elseworlds book not wondys main continuity ) anyways after that a lot of other writers floundered writing her, she’s a warrior by nurture but a pacifist in nature always ready for battle but never relishing in it. Also rebirth tried to course correct she was still granted power by the gods but it’s unclear if she’s still daughter did Zeus or molded from clay and James Robinson did not help matters when he went through with the twin brother storyline it muddles things more.
Oh Robinson breaks my heart from time to time. I expect everything to be as good as Starman. I think I enjoy Rebirth for the pure reason that we get a mix of the great origins of WW all thrown in one big story. I would love a Rucka omni pre IC. That's one of my must titles to get omni. Love the Avatar BTW.

I loved this explanation, because it’s also how I feel as a new reader to Wonder Woman. I personally didn’t like Brian’s because once you change her origin, you change everything about her. When I learned which was made from clay, I felt Brian’s Wonder Woman origin was disrespectful and I don’t want yet ANOTHER child of Zeus because it’s boring and predictable.
Just seen this for £30. To buy or not to buy? Just bought the rucka tpbs and both absolute ww books as well. Hmmmmmm. Thanks for the vid Omar 👍
Thank you for watching, brother.... the art I think is worth it!
I can't believe we got this before a wonder woman by John Byrne
It probably will be a pass but you can't argue with that quality of artwork, wow! Great overview, thanks.
Thanks for watching and his art is phenomenal.
I think Jimenez isn't the best writer but his artwork is fantastic and his love for Wonder Woman and all her supporting characters shine through here. I think the only WW collection by Messner-Loebs in the "Wonder Woman by Mike Deodato" collection which was released last year (?) which basically collects The Contest and The Challenge of Artemis storylines. I'd like to see DC release some Silver Age omnibii for Wonder Woman and maybe a collection of Eric Luke's time on the book (Godwar and the two Devastation stories).
I custom bound the Willam Messner-Loebs WW because of my love for the man's run so much. I'd love to see Godwar collected as well.
Could you please do a reading order for Wonder Woman?
I tried.... the patrons voted for Thor instead. :/
@@NearMintCondition Better luck next time.
I'm almost half way through this omnibus. So far it's....good but feels like a chore from time to time to read. This is my first WW story I've read. Should've started with the George Perez run? I ordered the WW omnibus based on her new 52 run.
Jimenez, while he draws gorgeous art is so damn wordy. For the sake of being wordy. Perez' isn't as bad, but still has tons of dialogue. If you want something modern get that Azzarello run in omnibus format and hell yes the upcoming Gail Simon WW omni.
May be a pick up 👍👍
Hey Omar Can you do a Reading order of THE AVENGERS in omnibus , epic collections, and trade paperbacks, also hardcover,
Yes, sir! I'm waiting for my fourth omnibus to get here and then I can jump on that. :)
Great vid buddy, i love to get this one, has I'm a big fan of ww, maybe not the best run, but very enjoyable
Thank you for watching, brother. I want more WW in omni format.
I have just watched your video and purchased the book for only £40. :) I have recently discovered that Byrne did a Wonder Woman run which I HAD to have! Then I wanted the issues between those and the Perez books and why not after the Byrne run as well! Indeed the art looks great and I don't care if there is more dialogue.... some people are reading proper books you know?? Where are only dialogues!!! :) Is there anything what has appeared after this book with more issues?
There is a big difference between heavy dialogue and dull heavy dialogue. But who knows, perhaps you’ll like it.
@@NearMintCondition Do you have please an answer to my question?
The art for me is very good 😊👍👍
I'm glad you like it
I have yet to find a WW story I dig. I've heard the JMS run is good, should I try it? Good review as ever Omar, you got my interest piqued. ;)
Thank you, brother. I always suggest Greg Rucka's first run, before Infinite Crisis. Also really liked Gail Simone's run too.
JMS' Wonder Woman run is a confusing mess to be honest. The only thing remotely memorable about it is the costume they gave her (black pants and a jacket, which caused quite a stir online at the time). Early George Perez or Greg Rucka runs are the best place for good Wonder Woman stories.
@@craigmacdonald539 good knowledge dude. By Rucka, would the Rebirth run work?
Thomas Judge I think the pre Infinite Crisis Run is better than his Rebirth run. And we are actually going to read his pre Crisis stuff for Old Reader/ New Readers in two weeks :)
@@iamthomasjudge Rucka's WW run before Pre-Infinite Crisis/Pre-New 52 is better, IMO. DC collected it in two volumes fairly recently so they should be fairly easy to track down if you have a comic shop in the area.Very new reader friendly. Rucka's Rebirth run can be a bit confusing as it consists of four major story arcs that jump back and forth between each other and the first one is pretty non-reader friendly because it assumes you've already read the New 52 stuff.
Is this a direct follow up of Byrne's arc? Thanks!
Correct. His run followed Byrne's
I picked it up for $48 so I was happy.
Is the content synonymous with the absolute wonder woman vol 1 & 2?
I think you are thinking of the Chiang Azzarello run that comes out in omnibus format in May. This is the Phil Jimenez run that was only previously collected in two trades and not everything was collected.
Near Mint Condition - thank you! You do know your stuff! Amazing knowledge.
@@kierbaudy Thank you so much.
I know this is completely irrelevant to wonder woman but how's Vinland Saga going for you? Pretty sure I remember you getting quite a lot of the hardcover volumes recently.
I am LOVING it. That story is so damn awesome. I need to pick up the last two Hardcovers of Vinland and the last three of Gundam.
Nice, it's going to be some time for volume 11 of Vinland Saga to come out though.
Great artist. Not so great writer. Loved his art on The Invisibles and wish he had drawn it all. Very Perez influenced. Did you ever read his unfinished Otherworld series?
No I never did. Was that DC that published those books?
@@NearMintCondition Yes. It was a creator owned DC Vertigo comic. Jimenez wrote and drew and it wasn't bad. I thought it was unfinished since it was a 12 issue maxiseries and only 7 issues came out but on a Google search to see if it was ever going to be completed, it said it was just dropped to 7 issues.
@@ShaneMatlock Okay I'm going to have to find digital copies of those. I love his art.
I just bought 2 Omnibus...Doom Patrol Bronze Age and Joker Bronze Age...I prefer this new design....dunno if Ill get this...BUT nice review.
Thank you and I like the new design too.
Can you do an all of John Byrne comics ever review
I can do his WW run.
Phil is an amazing artist, but his word salad run did not deserve the omnibus treatment.
Give me a wordless absolute edition instead DC.
Thank goodness I'm not the only one that thought this.
So the omnibus sorry bad speller it. Better than the original 25 pgs we get lol and as well is it action packed
Its action packed and the art is top notched.
If it's sweaty and musty it must be my _____s. Thx Omar I almost bought this one but I'm on a kind of budget which I may buy Heman omni and I just don't have any money. I had to buy a new fridge and a five-year warranty to be safe so I'm almost two grand in the whole on my cards. They just don't make appliances to last anymore, my last fridge lasted ten years and they say my new six hundred dollars piece air conditioners should last five years before being junk. Technology is not to improve life for people it's to make companies put out shit cool looking products. Thx again and have a good one.
Exactly now they make products purposely to last a fixed time
By home had a tv which lasted almost 15 years with no issue but now they don't.They want you to buy more and more.
You think the lack of table of content and no issue numbering in the book is what's giving us the lower cost price? Lol.
You know what brother, maybe.... because Super Sons was also a 75 dollar book and had the same issues.
@@NearMintCondition the Rebirth Deluxe books have that problem too, with Tomasi's Superman vol 3. Not sure if it's worth the cost or not, but the little things matter to the customers and I would have liked the numbering and table of contents. It's like starbucks halting sleeves for cups to cut costs, it's not a big thing, but when it happens, customers ask for the sleeves to protect their hands from heat and the sleeves become a big thing that should be worth the cost.
Interesting. I was curious why it was cheaper than the average Omnibus.
The dust jacket looks awful, I would display without it..
I think there were better choices for the cover.
