It's a common thing to get a placeholder image out there, because the solicits for the book market need to be done so far in advance. In the case of these larger formats, it's the book AND graphic novel market. Figure if we're pre-ordering NOW for March releases, the covers had to be submitted two to three months prior to that. Lots of planning, lots of work. "Why not get the covers designed before submitting months prior?" Some do... some don't... And, they still make changes. :)

100% agree and why I have stopped pre-ordering and now will pass on this. The whole top third looks off on all of them and I'd say the word balloons enhance these since they were drawn with them in mind, especially the bullpen one. Show it to someone else and they'll think you got some brand echh parody version and they didn't know how to draw the Fantastic Four. Waiting til Omar shows off the books used to make me buy more than I normally would have, now he has been saving me money and it has nothing to do with his enthusiasm or production, solely based on more and more substandard books.

@@dickdiablo They weren't even smart enough to use the font from the What If show on Disney+, for a little symmetry. WE buy the covers because we want the original cover on the sleeve. The 1 with What If 1 on the cover looks the WORST! Unfortunately, that's the one I bought as a pre-order! NEVER BUY PREORDERS!

Hey Omar, this looks great and I had intended buying it, but got the 4 Complete Collections instead. The spine looks identical to the CC's. I have some of the original What If? Issues but I think I somehow avoided reading that Marvel Bullpen FF issue because it seemed ridiculous to me. I may revisit it however. Some of these did become canon, such as filling the gap and explaining why Captain America & Bucky were in the All Winners Squad when they were supposed to be dead which preceded the Cap of the 50's story. I know the Invaders omnibus is coming up but I have both of the CC's already. Thanks for the preview. Love your work as always. Cheers mate 👍😎

Thank you for this overview, Omar. I've read some issues in the past and I liked those. When it comes to reprinted collections though, I had a bit of a scare recently. This weekend I received my copy of Doctor Strange Epic Collection Vol 1. A recent reprint. I had to sent it back to the store, because there was so much gutter loss it was rediculous. Something went wrong at the printer for sure. Parts of the balloons disappeared in the centerfold, it was hard to read. The store owner told me all of the copies were suffering more or less from it, so hey kindly offered the refund me the book if I send it back.(Great costumer service!) I love the idea of the Epic Collection, but this poorly printed volume really worries me. After doing some research, it seems especially copies printed by a company called Quad Graphics are of pretty poor quality. I know this is kind of off topic from the video but I wondered if you guys have adressed these sort of issues with Epics in the past or going to in future videos. Thanks!

The Invaders issue is exactly the opposite of what Omar says…it doesn’t serve as a prelude or zero issue to the Invaders series, it actually serves as an in-continuity ENDING to the series. And, if I recall correctly, it’s the only What If story to be considered canon in the main Marvel Universe.
