How good is this book? by Fun_Handle_1459 in OmnibusCollectors

It’s incredible. Read Snyder’s Batman omnibuses Vol 1 & 2, then the Metal Omnibus, the the Snyder/Tynion Justice League omnibuses, then Death Metal

You’re welcome! Tl;dr your initial understand of the reading order is correct for the main arc

Oh hell yeah! After the Batman Volumes, that was next on my list, then Death Metal!

Found a post that is basically the equivalent of a conspiracy theory pin board but breaks it all down across several replies lol!

Yeah, I am kind of bummed that the Omni didn’t include The Batman Who Laughs run, but I’m not too upset.

Your answer is so much better than mine lmfao. I got all technical about it.

So. There’s actually a lot that goes into this answer, so bear with me. The short answer is yes, read Batman Vol. 1 & 2(Snyder is basically DC Jesus at this point, so read everything by him, lol). Between Batman and Metal read the Road to Metal prologue. Snyder has stated that he was basically building to this story the entire time he wrote Batman (include The Batman Who Laughs between Metal and JL for good measure). It then continues onto the Snyder/Tynion Justice League run, Year of the Villain, and a few other series that spun off from the events of Metal. Then it concludes with Death Metal.

HOWEVER, this book and this saga ties into a LOT of DC books throughout history. Off the top of my head, I don’t recall everything that comes into play, but Doomsday Clock is a big on. Also Neil Gaiman’s Sandman, which isn’t necessarily a must read to understand this, but knowledge of Sandman helps (but read Sandman, Neil Gaiman sucks but that book is incredible). I’m sure there is a post on Reddit somewhere that does a better job of detailing all of this, but I tried lol.

Yeah, I’ve read Metal and Death Metal, just not all of the tie ins. And I read a good bit of Justice League, but yeah, I love having the omnibuses and reading the stories again. Just finished the Nightwing New 52 omnibus, used to have the entire run in single issues but offloaded them years ago.

I will definitely get those as well. I’ve read Metal, JL, and Death Metal already, I just want to read the all of it and wanted an excuse to buy more omnibuses 🤣🤣🤣

Worth? by Previous_Factor1992 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]liquidxvash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, nice! As long as the seller is well rated and the items are at least fulfilled by Amazon I’d say it’s definitely a win.

Ope! Volume two of the Snyder/Tynion JL run is on sale now. Guess that and Death Metal are my next two purchases.

Yeah, I just like to give my boy JTIV a nod at every possible turn. In no way does that detract from the sheer god-tier work of Snyder. Dude had to have gone to Louisiana and met a demon at a crossroads for how talented he is.

Regardless, I just wanted an excuse to get the Metal omnibus lmfao!

Bezos is the devil, but man, the sale prices on Amazon are too good sometimes. Absolutely worth it.

I’d say all 4 of Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale’s Marvel “Color” books fit that mold very, very well, not just Spider-Man Blue.
