    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?
    The best of hardcover is worth your while especially since it's pretty cheap. Skreemer is one of my all-time favorite comics which is more similiar to Enigma then books like X-Statix and Bad Company (not sure though since I still haven't read Enigma (shame on me)).

    The Best of and Skreemer are great. Shade the Changing Man, The Extremist, Face and the Eaters are similar in tone. There's only three trades of Shade, a Vertigo Resurrected edition of Extremist and a Vertigo Visions edition of the Eaters.

    I really want that run, but standard size and four volumes kinda puts me off
    I just want them to put vol. 2 back in print. it's crazy ridiculous the price jacking that goes on for that.

    I was a little saddened by the paper. While it's decently thick paper, it's not the best quality. The edges of the paper are all uneven. I just think Kirby's work deserves better treatment. I still buy them (Kirby's collections) because the overall quality is nice enough, and well, it's KIRBY, but yeah.

    Hey guys, I'm talking myself into buying the We3 deluxe.

    As it's OOP, I'm going to have to pick it up from Amazon Market place, where prices are upwards of 25 quid for a used copy. That seems a little steep considering it's only 3 issues.

    I'd be OK spending that if I knew the build was decent (which I don't) or if someone convinced me that I really need that book on my shelf.

    Any input?

    I felt the quality of the book itself was great and the content even better. The additional story pages were a nice little add on, no major changes to the story just some extra art from Quitely.

    Could we get one of those OP updated like the Marvel thread that lists upcoming Omnis throughout the year as the catalogs are released?

    I think well have to wait until the new thread is up to update it regularly.

    After the Batman and the Outsiders hardcover being standard size, I doubt HoS or Superboy and the LoSH or any of these upcoming hardcovers will be oversized unless it says omnibus or deluxe in the name, which is shit, cuz I would buy most of those hardcovers if they were oversized

    NZ_InFerno posted quite a while back that he was stepping down from being a moderator and from updating the OPs for the Marvel and DC Collected Editions threads and was looking for anyone eager to take the reins of each of them. Canucked volunteered and took upon himself the updating of the Marvel Collected Editions Thread first page which resulted in the Marvel thread being restarted. To this day, no one has put themselves forward to take on the DC thread. Maybe you're interested?
