Hey Gem - thanks for another great “Every omnibus so far feature.” I have quite a few of these and plan on picking up a few more after seeing this. The Ex Machina series by Vaughan has nothing to do with the British made movie of the same name - completely different authors and stories. I believe there is a TV show in development for this Vaughan run though. I am reading it now and it is really good - great writing and art and definitely worth a recent reads on the channel. Keep up the minty awesomness.....peace! ✌️👍🍻

Great video. If you like Preacher, then you will really love Transmetropolitan. It was published in the late 90s - early 2000s and is set in a near future setting. Several of it's predictions happen like constant bombardment of media through mobile platforms. It has that same dark, sarcastic humor as Preacher. Animal Man and Doom Patrol were both published before Vertigo existed. Grant Morrison was just being very experimental with both properties. Later, they would be lumped into the Vertigo imprint. If you enjoyed Animal Man, then you will love Doom Patrol. It does the same deconstruction of superheroes and introduces new ways of thinking. I learned Meme theory by ready it. It's a trip. Invisibles is not as good by still worth reading. It's funny that you mention V for Vendetta in this video. We talked about it this weekend on our podcast Comics Misremembered. We specifically talk about the art style and why it looks so funky. Keep up the good work and you have some awesome reading in your future.

Hi Gem! I do enjoy the DC/Vertigo Omnibus & Absolute editions however the one I have been patiently waiting for is "Sandman Mystery Theatre" by Matt Wagner, Steven T, Seagle & Guy Davis, Now THAT was an absolutely Superb 70 Issue Series! So come Vertigo and please release this Classic collectiom of Golden Age Sandman stories! Does anyone agree with me?

It's not for everyone, and some arcs slow down, but if you're into getting weird, can't get better than DP. Tackles a lot of themes that were ahead of its time too, sexuality/gender identity, mental illness, things like that.

Sleeper is one of my favorite comics of all time, and in my opinion the best thing Brubaker has written. It actually takes place loosely in the WildC.A.T.s universe (Grifter is in the prequel miniseries), and features a villain originally created by Alan Moore. Definitely get on that one if you haven't read it, you will not be disappointed.

Sandman I love so much, I went for double dip. Have absolute 1-5, omni 1-2 (and buying 3), death deluxe, overture deluxe. I really like Vertigo line. Most of them are standalone, no confusing cross-over or reference to other books. And generally deeper, more creative and literary than others.

Pissed that I missed out on the omnibus of Animal man (new printing please D.C.). Still gotta get around to reading izombie. There are omni's of Lucifer and Y the last man scheduled for later in the year, looking forward to those but I'm hoping for Preacher and Transmetropolitan in the omnibus format sometime soon.

It’s always a shame to see someone mask an “opinion” as a mean-spirited, insulting, contentious, judgment on a stranger for seemingly no reason other than to create drama and draw attention. Primarily, hurt people do this stuff and waste energy on actions like this so they can in turn become victims and lash out at others for “bullying” them over an “opinion”.

Maybe this is a conversation for a Gem Live but, what makes a story worthy of an absolute? I am newish to the game and I only have two absolutes but to me they have to be a combination of a good story and kick ass art. I know it is all subjective tastes but some of these books just didn't seem to have art that really calls for an absolute. I really liked Preacher and Sandman's art, makes me worried for my wallet over the next few months. Stay minty folks...

Man, I'd give anything to have your collection. I live in a third world country though and our currency is dogshit, so these omnis are extremely expensive. I buy what I can, but that shelf behind you and all my favourite comics on your desk makes me jealous like nothing else in this world.
I love how u don't just collect statues but books as well that's awesome keep it up bro reading is awesome.

I am reading transmet right now and it’s cool
Yea Gem, Doom Patrol is like the DC X-men but they actually came first. Whether Marvel copied or not is still up for debate.
American Vampire is awesome! It's just as good as Snyder's Batman.

Good video. It turns out I have almost all these books too. Some absolute you have I got deluxe or trade. I don't have izombie, and I'm on the fence for the coming Y the last man omnibus. Sandman I love so much, I went for double dip. Have absolute 1-5, omni 1-2 (and buying 3), death deluxe, overture deluxe. I really like Vertigo line. Most of them are standalone, no confusing cross-over or reference to other books. And generally deeper, more creative and literary than others.
You NEED to get on that Transmet book!!!

Speaking of Snyder’s Batman, they have FINALLY solicited an omnibus vol.1! According to Amazon, it’ll be released on October 22nd (probably sooner on IST) and will collect the first 33 issues of the run. I friggin can’t wait!
Think you'll really like that amvamp omni, I devoured that in no time flat. That Doom Patrol omnibus is one of my favorite things ever, though it and Animal Man weren't Vertigo when they originally came out. Pissed that I missed out on the omnibus of Animal man (new printing please D.C.). Still gotta get around to reading izombie. There are omni's of Lucifer and Y the last man scheduled for later in the year, looking forward to those but I'm hoping for Preacher and Transmetropolitan in the omnibus format sometime soon. Good reading, Gem.
I gotta get all of them
Transmetropolitan is a good read
Thanks Gem... This was really useful I'm thinking about picking some of these up now.... But i was wondering if your going to turn in the absolute sandmans for the omnibus
Lucifer omnibus? No Vertigo collection is complete without that title!
Nice. I started reading the tpb for preacher got hooked and ordered the absolutes .
Good video Gem 💪. Love these... And uh... whatcha gonna do when the Y: The Last Man Omni drops?

Thanks for posting. I always love your "Every ____ Released So far" videos. dOOM pATROL was the very first omni I ever bought and the Sandman Absolutes are the crown jewels of my collection The way things are going with DC, you may want to do a "Every Omnibus CANCELED So far" video!" I just found out they canceled the next JLA, House of Secrets and Brave & Bold bronze omnis as well as the Joker Bronze omni and the DC Bronze Age Jack Kirby omnibus. I had pre-ordered all 5 of these! What the @#$% is going on at DC?
Just got the Doom Patrol omni. Did not know it was that massive. Im in for a surprise when it shows up 😂
It’s always a shame to see someone mask an “opinion” as a mean-spirited, insulting, contentious, judgment on a stranger for seemingly no reason other than to create drama and draw attention. Primarily, hurt people do this stuff and waste energy on actions like this so they can in turn become victims and lash out at others for “bullying” them over an “opinion”.
God i wish we could get more swamp things
INSANE!😊😂😂😂
100k here we come 👊
Great video. Vertigo has definitely separated itself from the pack. So after reading some of these, do you see yourself selling them? A few of those I would never read again. Not my cup of tea. Dropped! Thats what happens when you try to carry them all at once. Stay minty!
V for Vendett is great

There's also three Sandman omnibus releases aside from the Absolutes, two that cover the whole original run and a third that collects the stuff in the fifth Absolute plus Death and Overture.

i never took the time to see what the omnibus collect...i didnt realize vol 3 had overture. thats pretty cool. i dont think i will sell the absolutes to get the omins though...even though it does seem like a space saver.
Can you do a every omnibus release so far? Case I know there's many updates in your library
Maybe this is a conversation for a Gem Live but, what makes a story worthy of an absolute? I am newish to the game and I only have two absolutes but to me they have to be a combination of a good story and kick ass art. I know it is all subjective tastes but some of these books just didn't seem to have art that really calls for an absolute. I really liked Preacher and Sandman's art, makes me worried for my wallet over the next few months. Stay minty folks...
