  • Amanda and I took a whole day to hit up seven different locations in Louisville, Kentucky. Our goal: Find cheap Graphic Novels, trade paperbacks and Hardcovers. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!! Come take a trip with us as we check out several locations and see what we find during our haul portion! We stop at locations like The Zone, The Great Escape and The Dimension...and even sneak a couple of Ollie's in there.

    Another episode of Omar and Amanda Big Adventure of comic book hunting. I'm loving the comic book hunting videos with you two. Omar make sure that you have patience when Amanda has to use the rest room. If you do not have patience then you will slowly turn to the dark side of the force. Seriously great video you two. I love the humor with you two. 👊✌

    Really great video even if Omar's camera work gave me vertigo at times. LOL. I don't know how Omar can really search (especially at Ollie's) while holding a camera in one hand. I need to dive in with both hands to really feel like I'm not missing anything. As always, it's the personalities of Omar and Amanda that really make these videos special. These are two people I would like to hang around with and talk about comics, movies and pop culture in general. Great, great stuff as always from NMC. #OmarRules #AmazingAmanda #STILLWaitingForTheNMCTShirts

    Awesome! I love these kinds of videos. Can't wait to see what you two find, Omar and Amanda. I've been to some of the comic shops in Louisville. Think the one I went to several years back was the Great Escape on Bardstown. I bought that Miracleman Olympus hardcover at the Ollies I went to. And cool, you guys are now at the Great Escape. Love that shop. Amanda, hope you like Lazarus. I love it. It's my favorite Greg Rucka book and he mentions my hometown of Paducah in it and he and I shared a Twitter exchange over that. Lazarus is actually getting ready to start back up again after a hiatus. LOL@ "We're going to eat or I'm going to die." Superior Foes of Spider-Man was fantastic. I got the complete hardcover collection. I hope you're reading The Fix, Omar. I think those two books are two of Nick Spencer's best and both drawn by Steve Lieber. Also glad Omar suggested Joe the Barbarian for you, Amanda. It's freaking great and one of the easier Grant Morrison reads (though I'm a big fan of all his work). The art by Sean Gordon Murphy is gorgeous. The blooper reels at the end of these are hilarious. Great haul!

    • @NearMintCondition
      @NearMintCondition  5 лет назад +1

      Thank you for watching and commenting, brother. I haven't read The Fix yet. I'm really enjoyed Superior Foes and like you, have the omnibus. Yeah, Joe the Barbarian is one of my favorite Morrison books and it's got that beautiful Murphy artwork. I think Amanda will end up liking Lazarus, just knowing her taste in great stories.

    • @amazingamandareelztalk
      @amazingamandareelztalk 5 лет назад +1

      Smotlock oh I can’t wait to read Lazarus!! It’s been on my list for awhile... hoping Omar will make it an ORNR pick 🤞🏻the Great Escape was one of my faves for the trip since you mentioned it too!

    • @ShaneMatlock
      @ShaneMatlock 5 лет назад +1

      Omar, you have to read the Fix. It is so freaking funny, man. If you loved Superior Foes of Spider-Man, you will love The Fix, even though they ate different genres, they are very similar from a comedic standpoint. The Fix and Maestros were probably my two favorite Image titles since Saga and Lazarus. I don't know if the Fix will ever get a hardcover collection but I hope it does. I have just been getting the tpbs. Amanda, I think Lazarus would be perfect for Old Reader, New Readers. It is one of the books I usually buy for girls I'm dating who have never read comics along with Saga and they usually love both. They are really great titles for new readers because they require zero other comics reading or even viewed superhero films to get into. I know neither of those titles are finished but with both you could do the first major story arcs. I still think you guys should do Alpha Flight, the John Byrne run. I just got the omnibus of that in the mail today. Also Alan Moore's Swamp Thing would be great for ORNR. And as for The Great Escape, I have a Timothy Bradstreet poster I got from the Great Escape back in 2001 hanging up in my comic room.

    At 27:00 when you said you were doing a new reader/old reader of Rucka's Wonder Woman I got excited that you were doing a special episode then I realized something was amiss because this is the last week of February so I checked the calendar and sure enough the 1st of March is on Friday. The first Tuesday of March is the 5th. But secretly I'm hoping it's a special episode on Friday because then I can catch it ;) The first volume of Lazarus is a really good primer for deciding if you want to get the 2 hardcover collections. Those collections have so much extra material. There is also a World of Lazarus campaign setting for the Modern Age RPG so I'm curious about checking that out to see if the material might make it worth getting at some point.
