That should be an interesting set. I really enjoy Golden Age superhero comics. I don't know how much I'll enjoy the other genres, but I'm very likely to buy the books and find out.
Swamp Thing Absolute:
Not a bad price. But I already have the trades! I'd love an Absolute version. Especially for this run. It'll be done in what? 2 volumes?

It'll be done in 3 volumes.

Ah what the crap :/
The cover for this Absolute looks gorgeous. I am really annoyed it will take 3 volumes, it could be done in two I think. Then again, I suppose it depends what else will be included for content.
3 volumes is perfect it worked for Y and Preacher well.

Preacher collected 75 issues of the series plus a 4 issue mini series and 5 double sized one shots. That's a total of 89 regular issues in 3 volumes giving almost 30 issues per volume.
Y: The last Man collected 60 issues in 3 volumes. That's 20 issues per volume.
The Alan Moore Swamp Thing run was issues #20-64 and Annual #2 plus an issue of DC Comics Presents. That's about 48 regular issues total. Splitting it into 2 volumes would be 24 issues per volume for a total price of $200. That's right in the middle between Preacher and Y. Instead DC is putting into 3 volumes with 16 issues per volume and a total price of $300.

So two issues is definitely possible. It almost sounds like they're milking it. Can you imagine? DC milking a series?
Anyway, my only fear of getting these is that DC swings its axe around and we don't get Volumes 2&3.

I'm not as nervous about it becoming an orphaned line. DC has treated Alan Moore's material as evergreen books that are always in print.

>Evergreen
Pun intended? I suppose you are right. But compared to Watchmen and LoEG, Swamp Thing gets the short end.

They learned from the best milkers in the biz!*
[SIZE=1]*Marvel are the best milkers, in case there's any confusion.[/SIZE] ;)

I guess I don't even notice the Marvel milking. I like the sound of that though, even though its horrible. I move that DC Collected Editions should change its name to, The Dark Knight Reprinted Formats and Collected Editions and Others.

You make a crucial error in this calculation. If they were 24 issues per volume, it would be at LEAST $125 per volume, and probably actually $150 since they're putting in a lot of recoloring work.
