LOVE how you showed where this went in the reading order of the released omnis so far. Could you do this going forward with all omni reviews please? 🙏🏻👍🏻🔥

Can't wait :) This is my favorite omnibus of 2022 :) I hope vol.2 will come out soon :)
I knew almost nothing about this title so I’m So Happy that you did a dedicated review to this 👏
I loved this run! And was chuffed to see more Salvador Larroca, especially after his work on Dark Angel and Death's Head II. Some of his best work in this title, I think.
I really have to say how much I enjoy Chris Claremont‘s story telling. I get a sense that I’m in such an adventure into the unknown that will be explored to the fullest. It is such an inspiring sensation. And few authors can replicate it. I got my Xtreme Xmen this week but I’m m actually still only reading Fall of the Mutants so I’ve got a ways to go. But I’m looking forward to it and am sure to ready every issue I can get my hands on up to Xtreme.
I'm excited to finally check this one out.
Ooh yeah!!! Now we’re talking. Been a while since we had an X-Men omni. Count me in 😀
I was on the fence with this omni, but with the release coming up, I decided to pick it up. Thanks for the overview!
Great video Omar! Well, it's only been out for two minutes, but I'm assuming it's a great video!
Got my copy on the way!! Cannot wait to read this! Remember that era that everything was “XTREME” in all media lol
Bishop is my all-time favorite anti-hero. He also can beat any x man.
Stoked for this. I hope after X-Treme X-Men is all collected we get some omnis collecting the rest of Claremont's 2000s work; Uncanny X-Men, Excalibur, Exiles, GeneXt, X-Men Forever, etc. His Fantastic Four run would make a great omni too.
FINALLY! They just kept pushing this book back and back and now that it is out, I STILL HAVE TO WAIT A WEEK to get my Cover?!?! I'm with you OMAR I thought the art in this book looked unique and BEAUTIFUL!
Will say I’m hyped for this one
I pre ordered this book the first week of October I can't wait for it to come in the mail I used to own every comic of this series
I loved this series!
Damn, i wasnt going to get this but now having listened to Omar I suddenly remembered how much I enjoyed this period of X-men. While I HATE with a passion Inkless art, Mr Laroqa's art overcomes this shortcoming so brilliantly that I barely notice it. Kudos Sir, you really are a credit to marvel
I can not wait to buy. I can not wait till Tuesday shows up.
Have it coming!
Yup, Im getting this for sure
This is 1 of my favorite stories
Can't wait for the new mini reuniting claremont & la rocka to come out & be collected.
Nice one 🙂
I loved that run. One of the few, I guess.
one of my favourite runs
Need this 🤤🤤🤤loved when he didn’t have a inker!! Wished he’d still do that,
You had me at Claremont X-men
Big fan of this serie, old Claremont fan in me closing his eyes on some weak points, from the beginning to the end. Already got all this in soft TPB *and* in french X-Men magazine, but still seriously considering to get this book...
I remember thinking the art looked reeeeeeeeeally weird at the time. I may pick this one up if I'm ever in the proper mood. Coming right before New X-Men (sort of) it represents the last bit of X-Men I would allow in my collection.
Nice book bub
Nice
Got my copy coming in the mail
Keeping an eye on the comments because I don’t know if the interest in this is because it’s good, or because (take your pick) it’s Claremont, you’re an omni completionist, you’re an X-Men fanboy good or bad, you have nostalgia or Omar is persuasive. I’ll admit I’ve made purchases based on most of these reasons at some point, but the best thing about any Omni is when it is just a damn good book. If these are well-written good X-Men stories, count me in. Are they?

Same. I've tried to collect Claremont things, but outside of these comments I've heard mixed reviews... Kinda wanna see how it all pans out after a while. If it's good though, I'll definitely give it a shot. But I also won't lie, it'd be a good excuse to give my wallet a break if it's not.

I didn't care for this run when it first came out. I have all the singles and have been planning to sell them for a while. Recently I have been thinking of giving it another try since my taste has changed some from back then.
I might get this. Assuming it's still in print after UXM vol 5 comes out.
Just got mine today...
I wish I could pick this one up. But I am waiting for my AVX omnibus coming in November 1st. Maybe I'll get it one day.
Hi Omar!!!
I absolutely love no inker art! So realistic and gorgeous.
Didn't enjoy this era of X-men so I won't be getting this omnibus, but that's some great art on the covers !
Omar did you know they are making a new xtreme X-men series by Claremont that comes out I think this moth?
Ore-ordered this months ago, but never read a single issue of it!
Will u buy the George Perez wonder woman omnibus reprint?
Any news on how long it will be delayed for?
so this has been out for awhile, is this a good purchase or boring and bad writing and better to buy something else? Thanks for any info
What will volume 2 contain
Really enjoyed the first half of X-Treme. I think it lost it's way when Larocca left.
I'm just bummed it doesn't contain the entire series
Still on the fence between Ultimate xmen or xtreme xmen omni. Thoughts? Which one would you get?
@nicklor24
Жыл бұрын
My personal preference is Ultimate X-Men. I won both Ultimate and X-Treme in singles, but have only re-read Ultimate. X-Treme is sitting in a box somewhere. I may give it a re-read to see if I still feel the same.
I've always LOVED the art in this book but couldn't really connect with the writing (sorry Claremont). Not in a rush to pick this up but maybe one day.
Time to get EXTREME! Not the best X-men but I enjoyed it far more than HOXPOX
Is liquid not a person? I’m confused about who is the inker when listed as liquid. Thanks! Is it AI (artificial intelligence)? Lol
Is that a Mega Man X song I recognize?!

No. That’s another series of X-treme X-men.
When Claremont was writing during the X-Men Revolution era, it sold, but it wasn’t well received by the critics and a lot of the readers were hate-reading it. Also, he was writing for the long game and it wasn’t that accessible to potential new readers. The movie had come out and upper management was unhappy with the state of the X-Men line, it wasn’t marketable. Bob Harras was fired and Joe Quesada replaced him. Quesada knew that Claremont was not without value, but he had plans to streamline the X-Men and get it to where it needed to be for a world where a live action X-Men movie was released and successful at the box office. Giving Claremont his own title was the best solution, he was free to do his own thing, but it would still in continuity with the Marvel universe. I think that his roster was the commercial and diverse. He also had several famous characters that fans of the movie and cartoons would know. Grant did not have any PoC and Joe Casey didn’t have any women in his first arc. And when Casey did add a female character, she was a working prostitute. So yeah, on the strengths of the fan favorite characters, Salvador Larroca’s art, and Claremont himself, X-Treme was a top ten seller in its first two years.
more words than the king james bible but still looks pretty cool lol
Hopefully Hillmen will come back and finish his X-men run soon.
Not much extreme for me
I'm happy gor the claremont completists this is here. I'm also happy that I'm saving $130 not buying this.

I'm not sure. When I read the first issue on initial release, I actually fell asleep. The art didn't interest me much either. I think I will skip this and the Ultimate X-Men omnibus this week. The art and writing for both are not up my alley.
