I didn't see Spawn coming as I don't remember you mentioning it very much. I agree. Started collecting comics as a kid with McFarlanes Amazing Spider-Man and loved him right through his Spawn work. Capullo made a seamless transition which surprised me at the time as I didn't think anyone could replace Todd but his work was damn close if not as good. Met Capullo unexpectedly back just before his 1st Batman came out and he's a great guy. He even did a quick sketch for me after telling me he doesn't really like doing them. I am a little surprised you didn't have the Hush Absolute on your list though. I love your videos my friend. Keep em coming. P.S. - Doppelganger looks feeling awesome posted up behind you. Got me drooled worse then him. Can't wait.

I love watching your videos bro!!
Love that #1 pick, wish I had a copy haha
I just recently had the same query where I was thinking about how the absolutes sit on the shelf slipcase out ? Or slip case in? I have the skip case out and I’ve decided to keep the slipcase facing out cuz that’s the way it seems they want you to have it. That isn’t the only Alex Ross absolute that is like that! I have the one with him and Paul Dini that is the same. The OCD in me goes nuts lol Great vid as always!!!
Really want the Preacher story line in Absolute Editions. Great List, Spawn for the win!

You should get it it's unbelievably good man absolute preacher is perfect
Great absolutes !!! WoW !!! 10 + video !!!
Awesome collection!
I’m definitely going to invest in the Absolute Dark Knight.
Spawn was my favorite comic growing up to! I have the 1st 120 or so issues sitting in a long box. I should really re-read them.
As always, awesome video!
Great list mate. Though I would say you are missing a few honorable mentions such as Absolute Batman Hush (Loeb + Lee), Absolute Justice (Kruger + Ross), Absolute Ronin (Frank Miller).

Hush (in my opinion, just starting conversation not attacking) is the most overrated Arks of all time. The 3rd act is a mess. It completely falls apart. It’s not Loebs best work. Long Halloween and Dark victory are much better
Great list! Nº 1 was a surprise, I didn't know you were such a Spawn fan. You should get Absolute Ronin if you don't have it already.

have it but havent read it
Love the top 10 list, I was on the fence about Preacher but I’m gonna check it out since it’s so high on your list
Man dude, I had a feeling your #1 pick was going to be Spawn. Spawn is still, in the best way, BLOWING UP in popularity. I don't think his popularity will ever die down lol
Looked through old comments and see someone mentioned it before (very bottom), but wanted to repeat-- Alan Moore didn't exactly want to use "DC" heroes for Watchmen, He wanted to use The Charlton Comics characters that DC bought out in the 80's. Blue Beetle=Night Owl, Rorschach=The Question, Captain Atom=Doctor Manhattan, etc.
I'd love to get my hands on the Preacher Absolutes - I just finished the first season of the show and I imagine the comics are just that much better. Great list, wish Absolute Hush made it on the list but hey some people have good taste some people have great taste, haha stay Minty Gem!
Hey Gemint, dope list. Have you read and if so what do you think about Fables, 100 Bullets and Usagi Yojimbo? Few of my personal favs and i couldn't tell if you had a review or not. Thanks bro
What about transmetropolitan? Im planning to buy all 3 of them this month, are they worth it? Great video, love Spawn, super cool top 10

Great! + i love very much "Absolute Batman and Robin by Grant Morrison"
Check out watchmen the issue where Rorschach gets arrested that whole comic is mirrored meaning Reversed from beginning to end panel for panel... also love the way Moore had so many throw away things like the sugar cube’s etc
I have all of them except volume 1 of spawn deluxe. I've found volume 3 and 4 for about 28$ each on Amazon ! Hands down for absolute preacher and sandman !
thanks for helping with my list!
Damn I was almost certain Preacher was gonna be #1 but then the Spawn video flashback hit me right before you said it. Another Entertaining ass video Gem.
Absolute Dark Knight will be rereleased this summer 2019. Can't wait...it can go with my Year One and Killing Joke absolutes

Fantastic list!
I started reading Spawn. Read the first 80 issues. The story is so terrible. Can't believe it. Wasn't expecting such trash. But the Art is GOD level. Awesome collection bro
Very dope video my bro😊😊😊
Love the walking dead first read it when I was gone and I got hooked! So when I got home I checked the show out. It took a minute for me to get into the show.
There can only be 1# and I agree wholeheartedly with the greatest Independent Comic of all time! Todd Mcfarlane's SPAWN changed the game forever!👍😎
Wow full circle, the boys became a show and its amazing, I have to read the books now

THAT WAS COOL GEM. THE ABSOLUTES ARE TIGHT.👊👍👍
I can't deal with Absolute Dark Knight because it contains the sequel which was godawful. I was disappointed in the Watchmen Absolute. I didn't think the artwork looked sharp enough. Here's one I think should have made the list: Crisis On Infinite Earths because George Perez's artwork looks so much better in the larger format.

I like the style of reveal where you don't already have all the entries shown.
Morning Gembo, since you did that Berserk vol 1 review yesterday, you should get The Berserk deluxe edition that comes out March 12, 2019. Btw it’s on Amazon or you can go to your local bookstore, mate, have a good day!🍻🍔

I missed absolute Promethea 😢. Top 10 list is spot on!
The only absolute I own is Y: The Last Man vol 1. but I'm very tempted by preacher and sandman, two titles I haven't read yet.

For someone who is on a limited budget any can’t just go out and buy every Spawn comic out there, what would you suggest as a great book for someone who’s never read Spawn before? That someone being me.
I'm pretty important.....i have many leather bound books and my Gempire smells of rich mahogany......... I always hesitate to read WD because of the B&W and the show...may have to start. Man haven't read Spawn in a long time...sold all my comics when I joined the Marines (95), just getting back into it...selectively. Interesting list.

any word on a spawn reprint in this format? seems like they have a lot more of them to make on top of needing to reprint the older volumes. i don't get why they stopped making them in the first place.

Can I read batman detective comics in any order?
Some people on Reddit are saying these editions might not be great for constant reading (pages falling out/cracked spine). This might not be true. Anyone have any experience with these style of hardcovers? I want a couple but I tend to read and re read them a lot and maybe that’s too much wear and tear for these..
