I'm only 22, so by the time I got to reading comics this was long over; but when I was a kid my dad gave me all his old comics and really all he read was X-Men and he had a lot of this stuff. That, and my step-dad recorded a lot of the animated series, so I grew up on that too. Long story short, this is my X-Men

What`s hard to believe is that Jim Lee once drew fast enough to produce a monthly comic. This has some of the best comic art ever.

these are the stories that got me into comics as a kid, can't wait for the reprint to come out

Man Jim Lee art is out of this world !

I love that you cover so much stuff and the knowledge you've got on everything is superb. I can tell you're a true fan and a smart collector.

Keep up the excellent work that's keeping us avid fans intrigued during this difficult period 👏🏾👊🏾

Great review🤘 really helping pass time during this quarantine. Stay safe and great video loved it :)

"Magneto's back" I really LMFAO 🤣😂

Great video! Made me put this on my wishlist

Yooooooooooooooo GEM that’s a dope book can’t wait for the reprint deft getting it!! Always a good vid and keep them coming !! Hope all is well with you and the fam!!

Very very excited for the reprint on this.

Man, these comics bring me way back to when i was collecting them. A lot of nostalgia. Great video!

I'm gonna have to pick this reprint up of the omni, Jim Lee pencils are still my favorite for the X-Men...Great Review as always Gem👍🏼

Stay minty healthy my brother, I remember collecting X-men vol 2. I was so hyped that Chris Claremont and Jim Lee were working together.

Jim Lee drawing x-men was when I started collecting comics. One of my favorite artists.

Was debating on getting this but now I’ll thanks for the review!! Awesome! Like always!

This is my favorite marvel omnibus. The art, the iconic era, the nostalgia, the extras, etc.

I've been waiting for this review so much! 🙃

Great review as always Gem might have to pick this one up 👍

This is it. I think those first 6 issues of X-Men are like the books I read most in my life.

Absolutely love Jim Lee's work on X-Men 🙌 one of the best 🙏

Setup for video is sick. Love the vids. Keep them coming.

Always nice to watch these omnibus reviews!

Never thought about getting these until seeing your reviews - thanks for the content

This volume is pure nostalgia to me, taking me back to 2nd and 3rd grade...probably don't even need to read it since I read these so many times as a kid.

Great video gem !!

Looks great, and great video and explanation, thanks

Love the book! Good review, definitely going to try and pick that up. The covers are great!

I loved these XMen stories when I was a kid in the 90s when they started XMen over again with Jim Lee I bought almost all the covers. I wanted to get a framed pic with that cover. Plus they added Omega Red I hope we see him at some point in the MCU.

Another great review as always Gem

Nice review, I do plan on getting the reprints of both books...👍🏿

I heard you’re working from home now. Good luck and stay safe.

I just tracked down the ghost rider back issues that went with X-Men 10 and reread that story line. Ghost Rider becoming infected by the brood was amazing.

I agree. We need a 1/4 of that x factor cyclops.

Dope review!

Seeing that cover takes me back to waking up early Saturday to watch x-men, straight up awesome

Love the vids, Keep it up!

Awesome review. Thank you. ☺

The time when i got info comics...can not wait for the reprint.

Great review man. Looking forward to the reprint later this year.

I remember reading these in my friend at the time Lajohn's brothers room when my mom was stationed in Kentucky. He hated us being in his room reading his comics. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

Great video Love the new background those shirts look fire and very glad you enjoyed this read Jim lee’s art is Badass

Great video gem 💎, I have a lot of those x-men books in single issues!

Had to go back and check this review cause I'm about to buy this as my first omnibus

Thanks for reviewing this! I've see the Omnibuses before but it was out of my price range. When I finish my deployment I'll look into them 😁👍

Good luck during your quarantine. Seems like a good time to catch up on some comics.

Loving the content and that statue

As always killing it !

Wow man! Thank you for doing this and bringing me back! I forgot about these and how much I loved them as a kid! These came out when I was around 12, maybe 13 and it was a huge deal and I remember being just blown away by everything, the art, the story, omega red was such a cool looking character and I had never seen him before and also magneto looked so cool, everything looked awesome, I feel like it was a jump forward in art for comics and stories. Sadly my mother burned all my comics and toys and anything from my childhood (it’s a long story) but you reminded me of how much I loved these and I just bought the omnibus right now because of you. So thank you. I can’t wait to dive in and reminisce! And the best part? No one can take this one away from me! THANK YOU! By the way, where are you from? I was gonna guess East coast and you just seem like a hard core fan, agnostic, mad ball, cro mags…. Just curious, I’m a grown up punk rocker/metal head from Cali and it’s cool to see someone around my age I’m guessing, you’re probably younger haha so no offense, that I can relate to it seems like, into comics! I appreciate that! Awesome video! Thanks again for the stroll down memory lane!

Great review as always.

Thanks for your honest review.

Man that omnibus looks AWESOME. I might have to try to pick that up. Thanks for the review dude!

Working on finishing my uncanny full run to flip and get into these omnibus. Love all the content you put out.

Something about GemMint sayin “baby cable” several times makes me laugh a little.

you sold me on this, going to get it. I have all the single issues too.

That’s a cover I can get on-board with. Oh sh*t almost forgot about the ghost rider tie-in. Nice’!

Such dope art work. Jim Lee is sick bro. The card set too!!?? Shoooot it

The extras in this omni are insane! 😍🔥 Can’t wait to own this soon

I was just looking this up after seeing your other vids

Definitely gonna pick up this along with vol 1

I'm really feeling like I want to start reading X-Men. I read the debut issue in my Marvel Firsts tpb the other day and now I want to read the original run. Great video as always! Omni vids are my favorite

Definitly a book I'll get my hands on.

Nice review!

Keep up the great work 😁

Dope overview. This is my very first omnibus that I bought off of IST. I have this collection in single issues. Omega Red, one of my favorite villains.

Wow! Can't wait for that reprint

Solid review !

Gonna have to try find this somewhere. Very cool!

Good to know they are doing a reprint on this I had no idea 👌

The whole time I was thinking to myself : “Alright, nice. Sooo is vol. 1 worth getting as well or nah?” Glad you touched up on that at the end! And happy to see you enjoyed this one much more :)

My daughter had a survey class on the X-Men from 1963 to today in college. She really liked this run the best. I'll need to get her this omni on the reprint. I hope they include those posters. THANKS for sharing!

Looks dope 💎💎🔥🔥🔥

God I love Chris Claremonts X men run

Great review!!

I'm grabbing this you da man Gem 💯

I grew up on this stuff! Looks good might have to get it to get it complete and for the extra's.

Great work

Must have when the reprint comes out. Awesome review.

Gem my man! Glad you are safe! Dope video! Wish I still had a job. I'd be scooping this book up. Theres never been a time where I needed a win more than now! Please enter me for that statue!

Helpful overview, seems like a good collection. I have Mutant Genesis in tpb form, so X-Men 1-7, is this worth getting for the X-Factor and Uncanny X-Men issues?

Never got into the X-Men so it’s fun seeing all these stories I’m unfamiliar with.

Gem coming through with some more heat!

hahaha, great intro with the cyclops glasses

Another great vid

The basketball game in X-Men 4 is fun, great Omnibus! I can see the benefit of reading these versus individual comic issues, definitely helps with the continuity

Love the art in this one.

Thats very cool the cover you want to frame I just pull out my box yesterday I have it signed by Jim Lee have itnext to my wolverine statue

Nice love the old X-Men might git on that. Still would like to get that Dawn of X video. Good job!

I did enjoy the Ghost Rider tie-in! Being a huge GR fan

Looking forward to finally getting my hands on this omni and the first Claremont/Lee omni as well..

That is a beasting volume. I've wanted to read this period for over 25 years.

Going to have to get me an X-men TPB soon...stay minty and safe!

When these came out, I was in high school and fully on board. The hyper for this was real. After Jim Lee and Claremont left, that's was the beginning of the end of the X-Men for me. They were my GOAT's. They still are.

I'd just turned 14 and was about to start my freshman year of high school when _X-Men_ #1 came out in August, 1991 (like just a couple weeks before the year began), and MY GOD the hype for this WAS INDEED real. Nothing else even came close for my buddies and I throughout that year, in terms of what we relentlessly, breathlessly talked about both at school, on the bus during extracurricular trips, etc. Jim Lee's X-Men ruled the entire fucking universe during that time period (along with Whilce's Uncanny X-Men, Peter David's X-Factor, and Liefeld's X-Force), and there was always something brand-new and exciting to discuss up through the mid-1992 departure of the Image-guys to their own company. And this Omnibus in particular is the book that got me into Omnibus-collecting, a couple years ago. So much incredible material here, and high school was the absolute-perfect time for all of this to come together in my life.

Same here! Xmen for me stared with Jim Lee taking over!

Great Vid!

The cards make it worth it in my opinion if I could afford it but I'm a essential book collector myself right now

Claremont had a stellar 16 year run on X-Men ... almost became one of the Image founders with Jim Lee and Portacio ... Chris with the bad boys of Image 🤯

Been hitting that bell

“” - Haha, I love it!

This is one complete package. The extra stuff at the end makes it worth owning. I might...uh...get this.

Amazing book, def getting the reprint
