Omnibus Report for the week of October 15, 2017

We have three omnibuses to preview this weekend all three scheduled to be released on Tuesday, October 17, 2017. We will follow this report up with an unboxing of all three.

Starting off this list is the conclusion to DC's New 52 Justice League and that is Justice League: The Darkseid War Saga Omnibus by Geoff Johns, Jason Fabok and Francis Manapul. Weighing in at 512 pages this volume collects Justice League #40-50, Justice League: Darkseid War Special #1, Divergence #1, and Darkseid War 1-6.


I've managed to remain mainly spoiler-free on the story here. I will say, I have read Trinity War and Forever Evil, and I found both those stories a lot of fun so I am expecting this to be a lot of fun too.

Also for DC fans this week, comes Batman/The Flash: The Button Deluxe Edition by Tom King, Joshua Williamson, Jason Fabok, and Howard Porter. This volume is 104 pages and collects Batman #21-22 and The Flash #21-22.


This story sounds like a great deal of fun but I am going to hold out for the omnibus that will probably be produced four or five years from now.

Next we move into Marvel Land and in advance of the upcoming Thor: Ragnarok, Marvel is releasing the sequel to the Planet Hulk Omnibus, which I have been covering on my YouTube channel here:
And the sequel to Planet Hulk is massive, weighing in at 1,304 pages, Hulk: World War Hulk Omnibus by Greg Pak, Peter David, Jeff Parker, John Romita, Gary Frank, Leonard Kirk, and Carlo Pagulayan collects World War Hulk(WWH) Prologue: World Breaker, WWH #1-5, Incredible Hulk 106-111, Iron Man 19-20, Avengers: Initiative #4-5, Irredeemable Ant-Man #10, WWH:X-Men #1-3, Ghost Rider #12-13, Heroes for Hire #11-15, Punisher War Journal #12, WWH: Gamma Corps #1-4, WWH:Front Line #1-6, WWH: Aftersmash One-shot , WWH Aftersmash: Warbound #1-5, and Planet Hulk Saga.


Whew! Are you exhausted yet?

Finally, Thor by Walt Simonson Omnibus (Mighty Thor) coming in at 1192 pages collects Thor #337-355, 357-369, 371-382 and Baldar the Brave #1-4. The Walt Simonson Thor one is one of the most celebrated in the history of the Marvel Comics character. This run is the introduction of Beta Ray Bill and possibly Frog Thor. When Walt Simonson took over in 1983, Thor became a surprise hit and I cannot wait to tear into one of the most beloved Thor runs in history.
Update: Shortly after I published this blog, a YouTuber I follow, Just Some Guy, posted a human interest video about Walt Simonson revealing the character and class this man has. Please go watch Just Some Guy's video here:

From the Pile Episode 7: JLA 66 by Joe Kelly, Doug Mahnke, and Tom Nguyen

How could I let Justice League Week end without doing a Justice League specific episode of From The Pile? And in going though the Pile over the weekend, JLA #66 from July 2002 stuck out. First of all, it was issue 66, which in esoteric math equals exactly two Mother Boxes. Then the cover was pretty intriguing, and finally, I put it on top of the pile so I must have intended to do it! JLA 66: A Storm of Crows This issue is weird and I would expect nothing less from issue or episode 66 of any entertainment property. This issue is very dream-like from the start with the Justice League playing poker on their downtime with Wally West quizzing Green Lantern Kyle Rayner on what it means to be Ion. Who's Ion? It doesn't really matter that much for this issue. Kyle takes a break from Wally's third degree by going to the fridge but when he opens it, the ocean pours in. But then we find out it is just a dream and Kyle is cluing Wally in while they stand in front of a s...

The Living End by "Unkie" Dev Quin and Michael "Park" Lockwood

One of the great joys of getting these Comics Cubes from Half-Price books, usually for around $10, is the joy of discovering what's inside! In my newest show on Super Comic Fun Time! on YouTube (sadly Vid.me is no more, gone before I could even post longer content!), Breakout! I discovered a few, what I had hoped to be, gems amidst the flood of gems. One of these was called The Living End, published by dead fish comics and featuring great cover art of a superhero saying, "If I'm dead...Then why am I still alive?!" And also a line above the title blaring, "Nature's cruelest hoax!" And finally a crawl promising, "This Comic Will Blow Your Mind!" The cover does a very good job of doing what a good comic book cover should do, it grabs your attention and even though it is over the top and ridiculous, it makes you want to pick it up and read it. And read it I did! The story is broken into five chapters: Fate of the Damned! Challen...
