This is the run that brought the Avengers back to prominence IMO . Busiek and Perez didn’t need to add Wolverine and Spider-Man to the book to make it a classic run, they did it the old fashioned way - great stories, great characterization and a nod to the book’s rich history, while also adding to it. *chef’s kiss!

Honestly I enjoyed Volume 2 more than volume 1.
Omar is it possible to also show us the spines in the preview videos, so that we know which cover to pre-order. (i know it's up to Marvel but maybe you could ask)

[ethanquayle]

Haven't seen anyone mention this yet, but this video confirms something I feared since you first shared the cover jackets on your socials. Many have already complained that neither DM jacket matches up with the solid red spine of the DM cover for Vol 1, but there's another ridiculous and egregious flaw there as well.


So why on earth has this reprint of Vol 2 completely dropped that and reverted to the original, shorter style? If they went to the effort of changing this specific element in the first place, then surely they'd remember to keep it for the next volume as well? All you need to do is put the two reprint volumes side by side and you'll spot instantly that they don't line up. How the hell did nobody at Marvel catch this??

[juanj.arroyo]

Up until now I was gonna get the Davis cover, but that spine well, it's certainly a choice.

Might go with the standard edition instead, looks the best.

[varsas]

I always love your enthusiasm for this run. I’ve been loving Busiek’s Thunderbolts in epic format. Hoping this comes to epics soon.

[dockaster]

Glad this is finally being released. I bought the standard cover, matching the old printing. I just really like, sometimes, having a simple display of the heroes on the cover. Nothing super showstopper, but just a stand attention piece.

[MrTacoman]

I feel the same way about the Busiek Perez run, it is the best run for the Avengers. It has everything that makes the Avengers great.

[hankmoody]

Now we need one more Omnibus to cover the gap between Busiek and Bendis (Dissassembled). Let's make that happen!

[danieljohnson]

Omar you’re amazing awesome video. I know this is a stacked month but keep it up!

[nathanbenson]

Hey Omar I know you’ve been taking a break from the reading orders but I was wondering if you’d ever make an avengers reading order since you haven’t done one yet. But feel free not to I know they can be hard to do

[stevesantiago]

I pre-ordered my copy thru CGN. Looking forward to it even though I still have the actual comics! Another great omni!

[jearl]

Can't wait! Marvel has made for an packed (albeit expensive) September/ October.

[Stephen_D]

This run was my second non Xmen Omni and I went in almost blind... great read.

[MarvelConnoisseur]

So excited for my copy to come in and have the full run! My favorite issues were when Hulk came in to help the Avengers with the city that got exposed to gamma radiation.

[arthurwoo]

This and Omni Vol 1 need to always be in print and evergreen. Among the greatest Avengers runs of all time and my personal favorite. I love this era. Funny in regards to Ordway as i felt the same way growing up thinking he was an "older" artist back in the day.

[fortcastellan]

This one snuck up on me...Between this, Mystic, and Excalibur 3 it's going to be an expensive month. Although, admittedly, this comes after a dry spell.

[alexcole]

Looks like my plans to buy a volume 2 to match up with the red volume 1 spine are no longer happening. Maybe put that money towards a DC omnibus.

[stephentheshywarrior]

I have never read any of this run(the shame I know😫) but have the Ultron story in a Partworks collection. So making sure I get to that in a few weeks or so.

[jjtiffany]

I was hoping you would show where it was at in the avengers book lineup

[egilgarberg]

What about Titan Conan Omnibus? looking forward to the comparison video
