Hey Gem - yet another great room tour - building Gempires! I highly recommend you read The Ultimates omni by Mark Millar and Bryan Hitch - such a huge influence on the first Avengers and Captain America movies - amazing stories and awesome artwork - you will be impressed! Peace ✌️🍻⚡️🗽😎👽👁👁
Great collection update. Please face the challenge and read The Colossal Conan. Its one of the best comic book runs of all time. Highly recommended 😎✌️
Awesome update the collection has grown immensely, quite a large backlog of material to read but the Mike mignola universe is definitely a big one I think it is brilliant focusing on a topic I thoroughly enjoy esoteric knowledge and the arcane arts and secrets of history been the main focus woven into an outstanding character progression minimal text story mainly been told with that unique art style that goes so well with, but unfortunately havent finished been collected in hc and I hate half reading something and waiting for the rest just like alot of those Remender stories deadly class, Black science, seven to eternity which are all equally great reads and can't wait till there finished aswell. Ha sorry for the long rant but love your work keep it up 💎💎
Luthor and Joker are super dope, Lee Bermejo's Joker design was the inspiration for Ledger's Joker. I have a soft spot for Dark Tower and Oz, the DT comic was my introduction to the series, and it's my favorite book series, and OZ has some amazing Skottie Young art. A Recent Reads for Remender's Image books would be cool. Gotham Central's one of my favorite series, that's a must read.
Sweet collection and vid, Gem. Man don't be hating on Howard the Duck haha. Steve Gerber's run is some of my fav 70s stuff - Satire, social commentary and absurdist humor!
Damn yo, you haven't read JLA/Avengers?! That's one of the best crossovers from DC and Marvel. No spoilers, but there's a epic fight between two well known heroes, with a shocking outcome. A must read.
Finally got to watch this. Super impressive man. Would you recommend getting those Sandman volumes or those new omni’s? Think volume 3 just came out. Wasn’t sure which might have more extra content inside
Great update. Seeing some of the whale books upsets me lol. I was one that requested Hawkeye by Fraction. It still sits in my Wishlist cuz I have been buying so many other books.
Thanks for the room update Gem was looking forward to an update vid. And hey if you want to make more space there's a new printing of the death and return of superman omnibus coming out next year, so maybe you can do a comparison vid for that and maybe a giveaway, ALSO, there's a new 52 Wonder Woman run omnibus coming out so you can free up those two WW absolutes if you want to as well. Keep up the great content
Didn't see the Artifacts Deluxe Edition by Image, have you heard of it. Mashup of characters including Witchblade. My bad if you mentioned it. Bad ass library, Son!
I was just looking at that book on ist interested lemme Kno if you Kno anything gem it's a big crossover like witchblade darkness and all those characters seems interesting
I love looking at your library updates because I still go “wtf” when I see some of the Omnis Marvel decided to print. Also, a Chew recent reads would be great :)
A few recommendations to add to your collection. The Sixth Gun Dlx Editions, they are slighter larger than absolutes. Revival, series is done and all deluxes are out Luther Strode Complete Edition Vison by Tom King Dlx Edition Alex + Ada Deluxe Edition, really good Luna brother book Swamp Thing by Snyder Dlx Green Arrow by Lemire Dlx
If someday you want to sell the chew omnivore edition to upgrade to smorgasbord edition, i'm interested in buying it! The only problem is that i'm from Argentina but i'd pay the shipment! Awesome library tour!
Great collection bro!!! Wished I was your neighbor so I wouldn't have to buy a single book every again. I could just come over and read your collection:P Absolute Authority must read. It was awesome when the series was being released monthly back in the late 90s early 00s. Felt like other companies copied the style of Wildstorm after Ellis/Millar run on Stormwatch/Authority. Wished Jim Lee never sold Wildstorm:( Looks like your going to need a bigger room soon.
Seeing that you have the dark tower omnibuses , i recommend The Stand by Stephen King omnibus which is like the same kind of edition, omnibus and companion
"I went over the edge"! lol Loved that comment when mentioning your collection of the Muppets & Oz (or even why Howard The Duck was still in it's shrink wrap)! Too funny. I would like Manible to cover the Age Of Apocalypse Omnibus as I was thinking of still picking that one up. I keep hearing great things about that storyline. I know this sounds sacrilegious with most of your viewers but I was never a big fan of all the artists featured in that volume. I came from a generation before the Millennials so when I came back to comics in the nineties I saw a lot of that art like I saw music in the late eighties (i.e. corporate hair bands where I couldn't tell one group from another...they all looked and sounded alike). But, if the story leaves such a lasting impression of those who read it back in the day, I'm willing to check it out.
Damn ... Gem ... you need more kallax. Those gold, silver and bronze age omnibuses could be turned into smaller separate collection and used as decoration somewhere close to the gem cave because you are probably not gonna read them soon/often and they take so much space.
Have you read the 6 issue run of Moon Knight by Warren Ellis from 2014 by chance? Excellent 6 issue arc, unfortunately after that Brian Wood took over writing and the series declines... but the first 6 issues are incredible!
Love the library...mine is coming along but no displays yet. Conan was my favorite back in the day as I was a Frazetta nut and damn wish I could track that Colossal down. Have the Civil War box set but have not looked at it as understand it is not in chrono order...which blows. So have to figure out which way to go with that. I have been picking up some absolutes on your suggestions and love them.
Now this is dedication! Lol So you never got into the old school Tomb Raider comics? They have four HC books on IST called the Tomb Raider "Archives" I never grew up on TR but I'm interested in the story so I may pick those up. Also, hope there is room for that Power Rangers Year Two edition coming later this year.
Why haven’t DC made absolutes of Snyders monumental Batman run yet? At this point I don’t think they’ll even do it but it really doesn’t make senses as to why they’d not. It was probably the most popular new 52 run (sigh)
TMG 365’z the dc new 52 books are finally coming to Omnibus format so the first Batman new 52 Omnibus will probably be announced in 2019. Scott Snyder wrote American vampire & it’s Omnibus comes out in 11/2018. So it seems like they’re coming soon.
Awesome video, totally blows my collection away but so inspiring! Hey GEM, quick question: did you know they released Sin City in an Absolute-format? It's hard to track down, but I just put up a video on my channel about it...
Great collection man (except for Muppets, lol (jk), by the way, can you explain why you put Runaways Omni between shang chi and shield? Doesn't seem alphabetical
The next time my wife complains about the $ I spend/how much space my collection takes up - I'm gonna show her this and say, "Really? You think it's bad now? Just wait."
Hoooooooo... okay The F*** do you mean you haven’t read 52? You’ve read infinite crisis! 52 is probably the single greatest run to come out of dc comics. What the hell are you doing? Okay, yes, you should read, Irredemable, deadly class, batman by grant morrison, hawkeye and sweet tooth. And for the love of god, you do need to read scalped. You should try reading starman too, it’s a classic. I would really recommend giving GJ flash another try. It is definetly the best modern flash run. Try reading JSA too. It is one great great run. I’d say the same for gotham central. Probably one of my absolute favorite batman things ever. Read the runaways. You haven’t read the ultimates? Seriously? Read that too. Really great more modern “realistic” look at the avengers in a more 21st century world that I really love. And about hawkeye, that is one abslutely excellent and fantastic series. You could probably power through it in a day, cause it definetly is that good. Really funny, really full of life, and it really is a great use of the comic medium. One of MY favorite things ever. Invisibles is always great with acid. As for fantastic four, really all those thing in there except for the fraction omnibus is all top notch stuff. I would definetly recommend reading the Waid omnibus when it comes out. The Lee, Byrne, Waid and yes, Hickman runs are really all great, fantastic, top tear marvel runs. Fourth World. You haven’t read fourth world? But that’s like another one of the best DC things ever! Really cool, really interesting, really explosive and vibrant and beautiful and epic, holy f*** I love the Fourth World Saga. If your looking for something light, easy, modern but epic and cool, Read Stracymski thor. I read it, I loved it. Cool, fantasy stuff. Great, short, fun read. Fair warning it cuts off a little abrubtely. If you want something REALLY big and epic, read Walter Simonson Thor. It’s a much longer, much more epic and excellent story. It’s really creative, it’s a lot more rewarding, and it’s vibrant. Another one of the absolute best marvel runs. Shame you haven’t read Busiek avengers. Probably the definitive avengers run. Very fantastic stuff. Lits of the best avengers stories and it’s another favorite. East of west is one of the best indie series ever it’s a shame you haven’t read it. It’s in an alternate, barren future of an earth with alternate history about the coming of the apocalypse. So great, so badass. Probably my favorite Indie series ever. And finally, azzarelo new 52 wonder woman. This is a really great, really fun and vibrant run that almost feels like an indie series to be honest. It’s a really different takes on wonder woman, and it uses a lot more of her greek mythology side to introduce a lot of weird takes on greek characters. Soo F-ing good. F-you bat worshippers, THIS is the best new 52 series. So that’s my essay, but in all seriousness, do take those recommendations into concideration. And for the love of god, read scalped.
Oh no, for sure. I would definetly hawkeye is the far better comic though, just cause of how original it is. Definetly one of the best things sitting on your shelf.
I agree Gem, you should definitely read The Ultimates by Millar and Hitch, great read and is my first omnibus. After I read the TPB I pre ordered the Ultimates omnibus, this was years ago, back in 2009. Read Scalped, once you read it you'll be hooked. Then read Southern Bastards, it's a shot of adrenaline, it's great. Well anything Jason Aaron writes is gold. You got a massive library. Take your time in reading your omnibus's. The only problem is their isn't enough time through out the day.
Do you issue library cards because this is one library I could chill in.
I know you’ve probably heard this a million times but V for Vendetta will probably be a huge surprise and an amazing reading experience.
Daaamnnn!! that is a nice frigging collection. It's like paradise for comic books readers in there!!
It's a warm wonderful world in your place. Excellent
Howard the Duck still sealed..... can’t wait for recent reads episode 267
Dam dude that's one sick library!!! Love to chill on the couch on a Friday night and just read some awesome stuff in that man cave...
For some reason library tours are my favorite videos. I just love them.

Thanks for the tour man. Picked up my first omnibus ( green lantern Geoff Johns ) because of you. Keep it up brother 👌🤟

Sweet collection and vid, Gem. Man don't be hating on Howard the Duck haha. Steve Gerber's run is some of my fav 70s stuff - Satire, social commentary and absurdist humor!
No lie, that was some of Gerber's best work
WOOOOOOOOO! Such a great set up for an awesome collection!
Damn yo, you haven't read JLA/Avengers?! That's one of the best crossovers from DC and Marvel. No spoilers, but there's a epic fight between two well known heroes, with a shocking outcome. A must read.
Yo love the collection bro you got everything!
I really recommend that Tokyo Ghost book its amazing bro the art, stands out.
Collection goals
Hey Gem, awesome library.

Great update. Seeing some of the whale books upsets me lol. I was one that requested Hawkeye by Fraction. It still sits in my Wishlist cuz I have been buying so many other books.
One amazing collection!
Sweet Christmas G !

Didn't see the Artifacts Deluxe Edition by Image, have you heard of it. Mashup of characters including Witchblade. My bad if you mentioned it. Bad ass library, Son!

I was just looking at that book on ist interested lemme Kno if you Kno anything gem it's a big crossover like witchblade darkness and all those characters seems interesting
And you’ve got to read Top Ten, Black Science 1-2, Deadly Class, Tokyo Ghost and LOW
I love looking at your library updates because I still go “wtf” when I see some of the Omnis Marvel decided to print. Also, a Chew recent reads would be great :)
A few recommendations to add to your collection.
The Sixth Gun Dlx Editions, they are slighter larger than absolutes.
Revival, series is done and all deluxes are out
Luther Strode Complete Edition
Vison by Tom King Dlx Edition
Alex + Ada Deluxe Edition, really good Luna brother book
Swamp Thing by Snyder Dlx
Green Arrow by Lemire Dlx
i actually do have those Sixth Gun...theyre on the floor. Don't have those others though.
Best collection on the world!
If someday you want to sell the chew omnivore edition to upgrade to smorgasbord edition, i'm interested in buying it! The only problem is that i'm from Argentina but i'd pay the shipment! Awesome library tour!
Yup, still jealous x). That's a great collection man!

But, if the story leaves such a lasting impression of those who read it back in the day, I'm willing to check it out.
he's actually reading it now and will do a review of it
Damn ... Gem ... you need more kallax. Those gold, silver and bronze age omnibuses could be turned into smaller separate collection and used as decoration somewhere close to the gem cave because you are probably not gonna read them soon/often and they take so much space.
You ever wonder just how much everything (including the statutes) in that room would amount to in a total price?
sometimes i ballpark it
Have you read the 6 issue run of Moon Knight by Warren Ellis from 2014 by chance? Excellent 6 issue arc, unfortunately after that Brian Wood took over writing and the series declines... but the first 6 issues are incredible!
haven't read it
Awesome I love these tours Gem. You should do a recent reads on Absolute Luthor/Joker
Damn bro... and I thought I was a big shot for having ONE of the absolute authority volumes lol
Now that's one proper library!
Great book collection! I think I need a library card! Ha!
Yo, V for Vendetta is an amazing movie.
You got one amazing collection. What got you into omnibus? Keep up the great work
I hope they continue with the amazing spider omnibuses. A vol 4 would be nice.
Love the library...mine is coming along but no displays yet. Conan was my favorite back in the day as I was a Frazetta nut and damn wish I could track that Colossal down. Have the Civil War box set but have not looked at it as understand it is not in chrono order...which blows. So have to figure out which way to go with that. I have been picking up some absolutes on your suggestions and love them.
Could you do a review of the Absolute Ronin? Do you think Old Mam Logan and Daredevil: Back in Black will get omnibus issues?
I'll try to get to it...I do think they'll make an Old Mad Logan Omnibus. I'm not so sure on that DD.
Wonderful
hey gem, if you don't mind me asking, what shelving so you recommend? it looks like the shelving you have is holding up nicely
ikea kallax
@@GemMintCollectibles i fluffin' knew it. my wife owes me a dollar lol 👍 thanks gem, any chance u giving out library cards?? lol
Not to many man lofts have libraries, looks great be cool to have a book store in your house.
Very nice!
damn thats an amazing collection!
What kind of book shelves do you have
Now this is dedication! Lol So you never got into the old school Tomb Raider comics? They have four HC books on IST called the Tomb Raider "Archives" I never grew up on TR but I'm interested in the story so I may pick those up. Also, hope there is room for that Power Rangers Year Two edition coming later this year.
na never got the tomb raider stuff.
YO 💎,

we should do a watch-a-long
Gem Mint Collectibles See, now you going too far. Lol! Now if you said a Martin watch along I’m all in! Marty Mar love da kids.
Why haven’t DC made absolutes of Snyders monumental Batman run yet? At this point I don’t think they’ll even do it but it really doesn’t make senses as to why they’d not. It was probably the most popular new 52 run (sigh)
makes no sense...
TMG 365’z the dc new 52 books are finally coming to Omnibus format so the first Batman new 52 Omnibus will probably be announced in 2019. Scott Snyder wrote American vampire & it’s Omnibus comes out in 11/2018. So it seems like they’re coming soon.
Well..... thats fucking awesome!
AmazinG !!!!
How do you afford all of these brother???
Yo Gem, INVICIBLE has a limited complete Compendium hardcover omnibus, but its only through image Skybound's website.
that intro is crisp af
At the rate you buy stuff you should make one of these two three times a year at least.
Awesome video, totally blows my collection away but so inspiring! Hey GEM, quick question: did you know they released Sin City in an Absolute-format? It's hard to track down, but I just put up a video on my channel about it...
i did not know that
Chew has bigger Absolute-style CEs too. Called Smorgasbord Editions.
yea i know...i was pissed when i found out
does it really matter though
not really
Have you read American Vampire and is there an omnibus?
i have not and i dont think there is an omni
The first omni will be release in october.
Are these custom build bookcases ?
no ikea kallax
Have you read BONE?
no, not yet.
can you please review gi joe vs transformers.
Wouldn’t know where to start in there dammmmm 💎💪💍
If you sell the Batman absolutes let me know.
Great collection man (except for Muppets, lol (jk), by the way, can you explain why you put Runaways Omni between shang chi and shield? Doesn't seem alphabetical
i dunno..could have been a space thing and i forgot to change it when i rearranged again
I’m trying to have something like this one day I got my first book shelf yesterday it’s a small one but it’s a start 🤷🏼♂️
so youre not going to get the DC Rebirth Deluxe Editions?
no... ill wait for omnibus and absolutes
transformers by IDW is really good,not everything is great,but really solid non the less
Solid
Hi Gem, really interested in ABSOLUTE DARK VICTORY. Please consider me when you decide to sell it. Cheers
And make Manimal read Animal Man so he can see that Morrison is the GOAT
False! Alan Moore is the GOAT!
The TMG Specialist bro I love Alan Moore but Morrison’s my guy.
The next time my wife complains about the $ I spend/how much space my collection takes up - I'm gonna show her this and say, "Really? You think it's bad now? Just wait."
💎🍃
I love bookshelf porn ... yes, i really really do
dont we all
Gem put youre foot down Never show weakness or they will re-sell you the same material them sneaky bastards
trying bro
G.I. Joe 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hoooooooo... okay
The F*** do you mean you haven’t read 52? You’ve read infinite crisis! 52 is probably the single greatest run to come out of dc comics. What the hell are you doing?
Okay, yes, you should read, Irredemable, deadly class, batman by grant morrison, hawkeye and sweet tooth. And for the love of god, you do need to read scalped.
You should try reading starman too, it’s a classic. I would really recommend giving GJ flash another try. It is definetly the best modern flash run. Try reading JSA too. It is one great great run. I’d say the same for gotham central. Probably one of my absolute favorite batman things ever. Read the runaways. You haven’t read the ultimates? Seriously? Read that too. Really great more modern “realistic” look at the avengers in a more 21st century world that I really love. And about hawkeye, that is one abslutely excellent and fantastic series. You could probably power through it in a day, cause it definetly is that good. Really funny, really full of life, and it really is a great use of the comic medium. One of MY favorite things ever. Invisibles is always great with acid.
As for fantastic four, really all those thing in there except for the fraction omnibus is all top notch stuff. I would definetly recommend reading the Waid omnibus when it comes out. The Lee, Byrne, Waid and yes, Hickman runs are really all great, fantastic, top tear marvel runs.
Fourth World. You haven’t read fourth world? But that’s like another one of the best DC things ever! Really cool, really interesting, really explosive and vibrant and beautiful and epic, holy f*** I love the Fourth World Saga.
If your looking for something light, easy, modern but epic and cool, Read Stracymski thor. I read it, I loved it. Cool, fantasy stuff. Great, short, fun read. Fair warning it cuts off a little abrubtely.
If you want something REALLY big and epic, read Walter Simonson Thor. It’s a much longer, much more epic and excellent story. It’s really creative, it’s a lot more rewarding, and it’s vibrant. Another one of the absolute best marvel runs.
Shame you haven’t read Busiek avengers. Probably the definitive avengers run. Very fantastic stuff. Lits of the best avengers stories and it’s another favorite.
East of west is one of the best indie series ever it’s a shame you haven’t read it. It’s in an alternate, barren future of an earth with alternate history about the coming of the apocalypse. So great, so badass. Probably my favorite Indie series ever.
And finally, azzarelo new 52 wonder woman. This is a really great, really fun and vibrant run that almost feels like an indie series to be honest. It’s a really different takes on wonder woman, and it uses a lot more of her greek mythology side to introduce a lot of weird takes on greek characters. Soo F-ing good. F-you bat worshippers, THIS is the best new 52 series.
So that’s my essay, but in all seriousness, do take those recommendations into concideration.
And for the love of god, read scalped.
haha thanks for the breakdown...i feel like the Hawkeye and Strasynski Thor would be one day reads.
Oh no, for sure. I would definetly hawkeye is the far better comic though, just cause of how original it is. Definetly one of the best things sitting on your shelf.
I agree Gem, you should definitely read The Ultimates by Millar and Hitch, great read and is my first omnibus. After I read the TPB I pre ordered the Ultimates omnibus, this was years ago, back in 2009. Read Scalped, once you read it you'll be hooked. Then read Southern Bastards, it's a shot of adrenaline, it's great. Well anything Jason Aaron writes is gold. You got a massive library. Take your time in reading your omnibus's. The only problem is their isn't enough time through out the day.
Too bad you haven't read so much of 'em.
🙀
Glad I'm not the only one that hated Elektra! Man that book was horrible and confusing. Couldn't help buying it to go with all that Daredevil stuff.
hated it
No absolute authority?
its there...both volumes
YOU SHOULD BUY SOME NEW COMICS
Nice, check out my new videos if you can. If not you know I'm cool with that. Have a great day G-Man.
