    Hello:

    Does anyone have an updated list of the contents of the new (corrected) edition of "Bruce Wayne: Fugitive?" I think the corrected edition was released in May. Anyone who bought it care to share how it turned out?

    thanks

    Do you mean "Bruce Wayne: Murderer?"?? That's the one that was released with some missing issues, and recently reprinted. The only additions were a couple issues of the Batman title. I'm not at home so I can't look at my copy to confirm exact issue numbers, sorry...

    The only updates in BW-MURDERER are the 2 missing issues: Gotham Knights #29 and Detective Comics #768
    If you look a few pages back on this thread you can find some opinions about the book.

    In DC's defense, though, there haven't been that many movies released since the omnibus came about have there? Marvel has been spitting out at least one new movie a year (it seems) since Iron Man.

    Whats the pros and cons of Watchmen: Deluxe Edition vs. Absolute Edition? Content wise, I mean. Theres obviously size and price. But is there anything in the deluxe that isnt in the absolute?

    Anyone have experience with the DC Archives editions, in particular the New Teen Titans versions? Would it be a severe decrease in quality from the omnibus? Are they a decent option, or nah?

    Trying to get some George Perez books, but most of it is expensive for me.

    I just saw it had 8 issues instead of the 20+ of the omnibus, heh... pretty huge difference but i can't see paying 150-200 for the vol 1 omni. Might be forced to skip the first omni then and go right to two. The TP Vol 1 that contains 7-8 issues combined with the vol 2 omni might be okay... i'd miss out on like 13 issues but save a lot of cash. Yeah, forget the DC Archive edition with it's 8 issues.

    Don't suppose that Geoff Johns Teen Titans omnibus will ever go down in price? Comics are one totally expensive hobby, *sigh*.

    Dc archives are very high quality. Thick paper, leather covers, awesome sewn binding, not a downgrade from the omnibus at all except for the pages not being oversized (and the Teen titains run not being complete)

    Oh cool, so it's basically the oversized aspect and more issues in the omnibus. Alright, maybe i can figure something out involving that. Thanks.

    I would say that the Arhive Editions are a step up in quality.
    Some of the best books made.... and some more volumes in same quality are my most wanted books from any publisher.

    Unfortunately DC stopped at vol. 4 and later books in the archive series are lower quality.

    Question for international posters re: B&N.

    This is my first time ordering since I've moved overseas last year (until now I've just been shipping orders to my brother or parents in the States), I still haven't got an email that my B&N order has been processed nor a shipping notice. Should I expect one even though it's not being shipped/delivered to US?

    Thanks.

    There is a second trade go in up to 16 coming out soon, and the 3rd archive collects up to the second omni. Its a lot cheaper than the first 2. The johns stuff is in trade for fairly cheap.
    Cyclops was right

    Any rumblings that DC might consider releasing the Kirby Forth World stuff as a proper oversized collected omnibus?

    I really want that run, but standard size and four volumes kinda puts me off

    IIRC they are rereleasing vol 1 but can't remember which, the tpb or the hc.

    Also, finished Enigma yesterday and...hmm....wow? interesting?...I liked it? I don't know what to say, it was a unique experience.
    Compared to that how is the Best of Milligan and McCarthy hc? I'm a bit hesitant with that because it contains several smaller stories and I'm just affraid that it doesn't read as well. Or any other Milligan recommendations?
