DUDE! Thank you!! This is exactly what I needed. I've not only been wanting to get into Spawn, I was a little disappointed with the compendiums. You hit the nail on the head when you talked about how the story may not be for you and that many get into the books based on the artwork. I'm so torn over this as I too love having everything but haven't been blown away with the story in the earlier books. Didn't know if I was going to shell out more money for these....maybe. But your review really helped - I LOVE the oversized books but they might have to wait until another time cuz it is a big cash outlay. Thanks again and keep up the great work!!

I’m so glad Image reprinted these. I was always so bummed I missed out on them and wasn’t willing to pay the $2000+ people wanted on eBay.

Someone else mentioned it. That’s really cool.
I love Spawn dude. It’s pretty much popcorn reading, fun stories, and great art. I’m also very nostalgic for this stuff. Definitely picking these up, missed out the first run and kicked myself. I have all the compendium’s too. These stories came for me when my heavy metal loving self was looking for something gritty. I’ll always have a soft spot. I remember constantly renting the film from the local video store when that came out too. I ended buying the VHS. 😂Anyway, I get why people can’t get into it, I just try to enjoy it for what it is. Also bought Iced Earth’s first album because it had Spawn on the cover. Turned out they were great, and the album was about Spawn! 🤘love the vids man.
If the shrink wrap is in good condition I usually slit it where the hardcover comes out of the slipcase and that generally helps to preserve both and minimises marks. These Spawn editions look amazing and reasonably priced although buying all five at once would hurt! Thanks Omar!

Shoot. I just bought all 5 at once. It did hurt
Dcbs and ist never had them for pre order or sale 😢
I'll be pre-ordering mine from reeds comics 🤘
I got a signed copy of the first one in Toronto 10 years ago, and IINM Vol.5 is on layaway at my LCS. Gotta get the other ones someday (I especially want vol. 2, with tie ins to the Violator and Angela miniseries, and vol. 3, which features a guest appearance by Savage Dragon.
I enjoyed the video. So it will be like at least 12 spawn deluxe edition hardcovers over time. That's going to be a serious collection.
Hell yea brother 5 years now there in my collection.💪😁
Based NMC takes at the end "buy, read, and collect what you love" energy and thats always an opinion worth respecting You said it best tho, i love the art, most of the time tho, the story is just things to scroll my eyes across until theres another bombastic spawn pose
Todd should totally keep releasing these DELUXE editions all the way to 301 and that would be the most epic collection ever. I still cant afford it but....maybe one lucky day, I would love having these!!
These books look great . I’ll have to grab a few in the future
Ahh I'm waiting on mine to get here I ordered all 5 at once because I had such a huge backlog of books to order I just couldn't do it last time the other 4 were in print. I thought video games were expensive when I got into that hobby collected editions can easily make me broke if I'm not careful lol.
From what i am seeing these are selling well! I sticked with my origins HC but these DE are beautiful

I was 100% on board with Spawn when they came out. I have like the first 80 floppies or something. At some point well before that I started to feel like the stories never really went anywhere, like the main problems Spawn had to deal with just never getting resolved and it was kind of the same non-progress in every issue. Maybe this isn’t entirely fair, it’s just my memory and it was a long time ago. The thing is, for all the nostalgia books I’ve picked up after leaving comics for 20 years and only coming back like 3 years ago, the vast majority of stuff I remember loving did not hit me the same way (there are some exceptions). The stuff I didn’t love felt like a waste of time to read. Sadly, I am pretty sure Spawn falls into this category for me.

Who said the power rangers is being reprinted, I can't find it on a Google search. Excellent if true.
Why am I not seeing these widely available, not even IST.
Upgraded my Origin HCs, looked for these for the longest time, only hope that they will eventually up-size the HellSpawn and Dark Ages books.
I'll tell the Missus she won't be going on a vacation this year. Guess why. :)
Thanks for the review I finally pulled the trigger and ordered volume 1.
One thing I noticed on my original volume 2 is on the front side of the book . In the middle has a increase and the I just picked up new volume 1 and on the middle of middle of book doesn’t have increase but like a smooth crease. Also volume 2 original book is missing origins 4 cover 😂.
Im collecting all Deluxe Editions and Compendiums.
Think I'll stick with the compendiums for now. I have the 1st HC as well.
So glad they decided to reprint these. Can't wait for volume 6 this year.
Love Spawn, but I'm ready for a Curse Of The Spawn omnibus.
It’s time for that book 6 video. It just dropped!
Omar should add one of those Monster editions from Marvel in his size comparisons just for the absurdity of how big it is

i dont know, we kinda forget that books are ment to be read. sure if you like to have books on your shelf for just show and tell then i get it.. but a good book get destroyd over time. it wants to be teard apart.
I finally bought all 5 and they were in perfect condition when they arrive, I am amazed by that. Love these books. These book will be 14 volume long at this point and level 15 by the time they are caught up. If they do 2 volume a year, we won’t catch up until 2028 at least, wild
Great overview! Just wish we knew when the hardcovers were coming, I got volume 11, but I’m starting to think I should have went this route
Great video it really answered all my questions now I'm still not sure if I want to buy this books . If they reprint the OHC i might just get the missing ones & continue that route kus I'm almost sure that heavy paper will effect the binding
I think I might just grab one, but I'd like to get both Capullo and McFarlane's pencils in one.
As much as I love the early issues and art, I'm going the compendium route.
Got 1-5 a couple weeks ago. I love me some absolutes, so I had to get these.
TMP have a bit of a record for copy-pasting. A few of the OHCs have the wrong issues listed on the covers.
im waiting for IST to post them but getting impatient
Ummm… where do we actually buy these? I don’t see them anywhere
Thanks for an overview, Omar! One question still remain tho: aren't those pages stitched to the ribbon? I see glue there but pages are very close to the ribbon. I remember seeing that combo of a bit of glue+stitching to the ribbon, in some books. Really undecided about the format tbh. 12-issue hardcovers looks so much more solid hahah

Does anyone know if the reprint for volume 1 is supposed to have a different color ribbon than the original printing? My copy doesn't have the bright lime green print like the first printing.
So the misprint in issue 23, we lose a whole page of content? Or is something just double printed & everything in that issue is still in there?

This question right here !
They all look so awesome !
I wish you could have put a marvel treasury edition in front of the book for scale as well.
OPB has a picture of vol 1 HC that says it collects 1-8 and 10-13. So no issue 9 and I think the original vol 1 didn't include 13.
Wondering if anyone has any tips for Canadian online Direct Market stores. Sadly, CheapGraphicNovels does not ship to Canada and I'd love to snag this, Wolverine Vol 3, and a few other Direct Market books.
I want these collections but they are hard to find in Canada right now. I can't find them at my usual places. Instocktrades doesn't have 1 - 4. Amazon and chapters are spotty.
Reading all the comments on difficulty sourcing but does anyone have an idea as to likelihood that they'll eventually be showing up at some of the usual online sources (IST, DCBS, etc)?? I'd appreciate any insights ... or even opinions! Cheers

If you want it even in a nicer scale, go the origins HC route. When they come back to print. The cheapest route with covers are the tpbs. However they don’t have issue 9 and 10 in the previous printings of them.

Would love to get these but CGN has dropped the ball the past year or so. They don’t ship international anymore and wouldn’t apply the minties code when I was shipping in the US because I purchased from Canada. So dumb.
Will this be available for pre order from DCBS? Dont see it yet for pre-order
So I’ve never read spawn before and want to get into it. Do these 5 books collect the full series for the most part? Would the full collection of the origins books also collect the full series (outside of any new issues obviously)

Yeah, OPB is where I got my copies from. Really weird how many major retailers (like InStockTrades) either have none of them, or else maybe only Vol. 5 right now.
Misprints in every book? Lazy introductions? Missing covers in the extras? I'm sorry, I'm a little OCD, I just can't buy books with misprints. I'm gonna stick to the Compendiums.
Man, life ain’t fair lol How am I supposed to afford all these and the Omnis I want! haha Or have the space!
It's a real shame these deluxe issues don't contain any of the cross-overs, as they are considered canon. Without them, there are continuity problems, and that's tough to accept when the price for these books is so high.
We need omnibus spawn, these are still like collecting issues, I want just one hardcover that gives me everything or at least a volume 1 and 2

wow, that's a lot of misprints and issues on these books! The one I think is the worse was the duplicated page on volume 2 or 3, but having the same introduction word for word reprinted from volumen 3 in volume 4 is just lazy. For such pricey books one would expect the production and editorial department to be more thorough
I am not happy That the covers are virgin without the title and other indicia so you have no idea what issue you’re reading. But at least the cover art is there, unlike the paperbacks.
