In today's video, we are taking a look at this home here. This is the Marvel Horror Omnibus which came out not too long ago. We're going to be talking about if this gem is worth it to add to your collection, just in time for the Halloween season. Right here, right now, come and at you. So here it is, the full review of the Marvel Horror Omnibus. Is it worth it to add to your collection? The short answer of it is yes. This is definitely worth it to add to your collection, especially if you are a Marvel Horror fan or just a horror fan in general. But also if you are a huge fan of the Bronze Age of comics, what people don't understand is horror comics played a huge, huge role in the Bronze Age of comics. People associate the Bronze Age of comics with superheroes, but horror books were also very, very popular because if you know your comic book history, the comics code actually was relaxed a little bit in the 1970s and then that's when publishers returned to horror comics which were great. So this book here is probably one of the thickest omnibuses I've ever seen. I have a few omnibuses in my collection and I think this is the thickest one I have. Let's see if we know how many pages this is. Do we have page numbers here? Yes we do. At the bottom. Let's go to the very last page. Okay so if actual story content we have, I'll put it up here for you, 1,323 pages. 1,323 pages. George, are our Martin? Eat your heart out. That's a huge book. Very, very big book. Now the price of this book here is, I should just show you back here, so we have 150 US dollars listed and 190 Canadian. From what I recall this was a gift for me but I do not think my wife spent this much on this book. This was actually an anniversary gift but I'm pretty sure it wasn't that. Again for this book if you're interested in picking this up today the there will be a link in the description. I highly recommend this but yeah here I'll just kind of flip in here and just show you what we have because this is a nice, a nice assortment of different books. Sorry I just hit the camera there. So as you see we have the zombie. We have brother Voodoo. It's the living colossus, living mummy, Gabriel, the devil hunter, the golem. I love the golem actually. This isn't a golem that you're thinking of. This is a different one. The scarecrow modered the mystic. Got more of the zombie brother Voodoo. Just so many different horror books here. And then of course we have these. These are these oversized magazine books that Marvel sold back in the time. These are a lot more mature and more gruesome than the the books. Then their actual comic books as you could see there's a little bit of they have a little bit of nudity in these books. Women are drawn a little bit differently because these magazines they were printed in black and white but they, well that's kind of creepy. These magazines were printed in black and white but I'm pretty sure they were not a subject to any of the censorship of the Comics Code Authority. So I think that's why they up printed them in this kind of format. But this isn't an omnibus of just those. You also have their actual, see here, their actual comics that are in colors. See here. These are a little bit more tame compared to their magazines just because they did have, they did have censorship with the Comics Code Authority as you can see there. But overall their comics were also a great read for horror. And the thing I like about Marvel's horror comics is they did a fabulous fabulous job of bringing together two genres. So as we know Marvel is known for their superhero comics. But in the 1970s they introduced many different heroes that kind of tread that line between superhero and horror character very, very nicely and they were able to kind of bring those two genres together. Moon Knight is a great example. First introduced in a horror book but by today's standards could also be considered a superhero. So this is just a really nice collection. I'm really happy. The omnibus editor did a great job picking stories for this book. I have not read it and it's entirely yet. I've read some yards. Obviously it's like almost an almost 1500 page book. So it's going to take me a while to get through all this. But I'm very, very excited to have this in my collection. And it's definitely one of my favorite pieces just based on the fact that I'm a huge horror fan. Look, we even have Hulk in here. So it's just a nice a nice variety, a nice assortment of different horror stories, horror characters. And you know if you're a fan of just superhero, superheroes make many appearances. And this book as well. So it's not just just the scary's right. So that's why I absolutely love, love this, this collected edition. So at the end of the day, is it worth it to add this to your collection? Well, let's, I already kind of answered that in the beginning but here's a more in-depth answer. I've said this before about omnibus. I think omnibus is in general are just a really a really great value for the money because a lot of these books are sorry a lot of these these stories and these comics, they aren't really reprinted like especially these horror ones. They're not really reprinted into trade paperbacks at all, and that is especially true of these these horror books. Superhero books, they're more they're printed more in and trade paperback form more frequently, but these horror ones are are not. So if you wanted to have some of these stories in your collection, you're going to have to pick up the individual issues and the individual issues to pick up all these individual issues would cost you a heck of a lot more than 150 US or 190 Canadian. So I think you're getting a lot of bang for your buck here. And these omnibuses in general, if you're wondering if you're one that wants to know about the collectibility of certain items in your collection, these are actually quite collectible. You have to understand that these these omnibuses, they only have a limited print run. And once the print run ends, the desire and the demand for these actually goes up and the prices sometimes in some cases will even triple. So I really hope that this is still in print. I think this is a first edition. Let me just kind of take a look here. So this is this is a first edition. And these do go through other these do go through other printings as well, but we never know when those new printings are coming. So definitely pick these up while you can. Again, very collectible, but also a lot of bang for your buck. So I'd love to hear from you all in the comments. Are you interested in this type of content? You love horror. Would you like to have something like this in your collection? Do you have this in your collection? Let me know. Always love hearing from you in the comments.
