[QUOTE=JoeGuy;3874350]Those are very nice, it's cool to get a bunch in one go. I really like sewn binding on customs myself, they open so flat. It must have been a long week waiting for them to arrive.
Also, you mentioned this is only your first order. Are you converting your longboxes or specifically buying and binding runs? I do like the faux leather look, I think it would suit Sandman.[/QUOTE]
It's a little bit of both. I have some runs sitting in my longboxes that I would like to bind. I have been eyeing eBay for affordable lots as well - that Ex Machina run I got for something silly cheap, around $22, and thought it was a great start.

I wish DC one day actually make this book. Last year on the DC Omnibus/Absolute pool we had here I voted exactly for this! The stories are too good-looking and clever to be forgotten. Here in Brasil we had a 100% HC, but nothing quite beautiful as your edition! (also, I think Heavy Liquid is a cooler book haha)

I think one of the coolest parts of custom binds is being able to curate what is included, this can mean excluding issues. For example, I plan on doing a book with the Fraction and Aja issues of Hawkeye, leaving out all the issues done with other illustrators. Through exclusion you actually get a cohesive story arc with great pacing. Some series' need a hard edit!

You’re exactly right, though I have to imagine a Marvel or DC collected editions editor reading this and going “F-ing comic book fans. Now they want issues left out? You can’t win!” Personally, I always opt for inclusion - it’s not hard to skip an issue in a book if I don’t want to read it, but it’s definitely hard to magically make that issue appear in the book!
Im a little late but...Nice Books Selby!!!!
I don't think I ever shared anything once I got my All-Star Superman/One Million combo bind back?

Absolutely agreed!! Persnickety comics fans! Never satisfied. This made me chuckle. Another reason I am loving custom bindings - I don't have to wait for someone else to please me.

Dude, that's really good. Again the spine is probably my favourite part. The dust jacket and cover turned out great too, I think the Superman dust jacket cover really looks legit.

I really liked the cover/DJ...happy with the results.
I added a lot of stuff to the interiors...articles, art galleries, etc. Labor of love on this one.
My latest binds are en route to me! (I can't wait!)

Gorgeous work !
Version three of the cover, I think I went overboard with the use of the logo on this one.

I'd take the logo off the back cover. Front cover and spine is plenty. Also the DC logo on the spine...have you tried a different color? Maybe sample a shade of gray from the front cover or the yellow from the title logo??
