Also love the fact that you do your best to not spoil stories for everyone, greatly appreciate it. The series that I finished recently that was in your past recommendations is Invincible. And my god, that was epic! Felt like a spider-man story with saiyan saga proportions. Keep up the great work!

I usually read volume 4 "Journey with Jotaro" the most. I really liked your list. I actually just went through my shelves to see which my "Most read" would be. I realized Sandman World's end is probably the one. I enjoy the multiple stories from the travelers. Thanks Omar what a great topic.

    Completely agree with omnis being superior to single issues. Omnis end up taking up to much space but not like long. And short boxes. I gave up on single issues a year ago due to the clutter and price. I’d like a video, or at least some time in a video recommending shelving for omnis. Omnis are so big and heavy the shelving I’m working with needs upgraded.

I'm almost getting to a point where if I know I'll never read a book again I'd rather somebody else try it to see if they will enjoy it. It's been a while since I last re read a book, but the one I've read the most was 100 Bullets at about 6 times. It's almost due for another re read if I can ever catch up on my backlog.

Top 11 books I hope to re-read soon: Pride of Baghdad, Mr. Miracle, The Fade Out, Underwater Welder, Daytripper, Animal Man omni, Flex Mentallo, V for Vendetta, Saga, Superman Rebirth, Astonishing X-Men.

    I've lost track how many times I've read Claremont/Byrne's X-Men too. I did have that Omni but sold it and got the Masterworks version so I could take them on vacation a little easier. Those Nightwing stories are classic too. Always like Dick Grayson and Scott McDaniel's art. Trying to keep the trades in pristine condition so you can resell is pointless.

    Great video. While some of what I've read wasn't in collected form at the time, but still read many times, (I have a lot of collected editions now, I still have around 15K single issues, give or take a couple hundred, lol), but a bit of what I read multiple times are: HITMAN, PREACHER, Y:THE LAST MAN, PUNISHER MAX, 100 BULLETS, GOTHAM CENTRAL, FLASH by Geoff Johns, JSA, the entire decade of BATMAN in the 90s culminating to NO MAN'S LAND, MIDNIGHT NATION, and the Marvel run of GI JOE. And some current stuff (to me)that will be read plenty in the years to come, any Brubaker and Phillips books especially KILL OR BE KILLED, that was so freaking good, STARMAN, SWAMP THING by Alan Moore, and LUCIFER. Preacher, Punisher Max, and Hitman being some of my most loved stories that I always go back to every few years. Sometimes I wish I could read everything at once. Lol.
