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.

A random volume or an omnibus with 20 issues of 60 issues of a regular series it's just that. For example, Asterios Polyp, Sabrina, Smile, etc. Sorry, it's not my intention being conflictive. BTW: it's a good list of comics.

I've gotten to a point where I don't really keep books around that I don't plan to read again multiple times. I'm much happier with a smaller collection of stuff that I really love, in the nicest format I can get them. Everything else, I either buy and then resell it, or just borrow it from the library if it's available.

Just came across this channel, it's fantastic. Don't ever apologise for reading a book. That's what they're meant for! I collected comics for a decade, sold the lot and replaced them digitally. I now just own special editions like the absolute sandman editions or specific first appearances. I had thousands of comics, films, books, got rid of 95% of all of them, replaced them digitally and now spend my money on the best editions I can find

My most read series The Sixth Gun, Helsing, The Lords of Misrule, Ghostdancing, Freak Angels, Children of the Voyager and Preacher. Empty Man and Fall of Cthulhu are closing in on taking over one of the spots on my list.

Absolutely love your videos, Omar. You can do a video on the worst comic book series you have ever read. It would be really interesting.

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.

Looks out of print, but give it a couple of weeks after they go full force again to make sure their inventory is up to date.

@@NearMintCondition I know... just messing with you. But just between us, nothing ticks me off more than seeing "collectors" will shelves full of "plastic" books... why buy if you will never open it and browse it (im not even asking for them to read it)?

Great list Omar. Thanks for sharing. What's my most read graphic novel? I want to say Calvin and Hobbes, but I think it might be Dreamwave's Transformers Vol. 2 War and Peace. It's strange cuz I'm not fanatic about Transformers. I too read Hush a lot. I remember that era of Nightwing. I thought they should have done more with Dick as a cop by day and vigilante by night. There was just something interesting and contradictory about that. Stay safe everyone and have a great day.
