[QUOTE=ER Prest;2837704]So Wonder Woman by Byrne is out next week. Can anyone confirm what this actually is? Amazon lists it as a hardcover, standard size. I've seen it listed elsewhere as a paperback.
If anyone comes across it I would really appreciate some more info! I hope it's not another Batman and the Outsiders.[/QUOTE]
Planning on picking it up on the release date. Ill be happy to share contents/pictures if no one has by then. Curious about it myself. Not To discredit Bryne, but it seems odd that Rucka didnt get a HC, and Perez didnt receive a HC, just the Fat TPB ( obviously the Omni as well)

Based on Diamond's listing, and the lack of the words Deluxe or Oversized, pretty certain it's a standard size hardcover.

Yeah, its pretty ridiculous that Rucka is getting shafted like that.

His Checkmate series got the same treatment. He also did the New Gotham tpb thats coming out, right? And pretty sure there's the re release of Batwoman by Rucka, also on tpb. I guess DC doesnt like him that much.

I should also mention! I dislike bashing on a story or comic, BUT I picked up the Raven mini series tpb...
I should preface this by saying how Raven is one of my favorite characters, and since The a nnouncement, Ive been so extremely excited for this. Then it was delayed again and again, and it was finally released. I figured under Marv, the story would be Amazing, with an 80s vibe to it. I was so excited.
Its bad. Its really bad. Its lazily written. The characters are so flat, you couldn't make a 3 dimensional object if you tried. The dialogue is dull and the story is confusing, uninspired and repetitive. The art is the ONLY good thing about it. Its pretty amazing. I can't believe how utterly disappointed I was by this. Easily, one of the worst comics I've read in YEARS. I'm so saddened by it.

Aaw it's so sad when that happens. I was the same with the waid cap epic I was so excited to finally read his Cap run. Bought it on release day started reading it as soon as it arrived and couldn't believe how much I hated it. I know it's a beloved run but I just couldn't help myself hating every aspect of it. I think I didn't even bother selling it just gave it to a friend for free.

I'd appreciate it!

That's the bad feeling I have. Same with Superboy and the LoSH book that's due in a couple weeks

Well maybe someone else would enjoy it. I felt kind of the same with the newer Katana mini series that came out a few months Back. That one was at least coherent, but not very good. And i heard they're making a follow up mini series!

Did anyone pick up the DC universe by Mignola? My order hasn't come in yet, and I was just browsing Amazon, and Amazon has it listed as standard size? Is this correct? I'm not going to be happy if it is......

mine arrived today and indeed it is standard size. As I said before (I think) the "c" in DC doesn't stand for consistency. Like the Gaiman one is deluxe but this one based on an [U]ARTIST[/U] is standard?
I legit thought it's deluxe size until it arrived and I'm quite pissed off now.

Send it back! I've started doing that a fair bit now, you lose a couple of quid in postage but its better than selling it for half price on eBay at a later date.

I still prefer to have the stories collected in one hc and it's unlikely they will do an oversized edition any time soon. It is listed as a standard hc on wordery where I got it from but I didn't look when I bought it I just assumed it will be a dlx based on...you know...common sense?
Also I rather have a 20quid book with a disappointing size then nothing at all for a couple of quid.

Damn. I'm kinda pissed now too. I didn't even think of it till now, I thought it was deluxe sized too. Thats dumb. Now I'm worried about the Byrne one in a couple weeks too. And the Byrne WW. And all of their hardcovers that don't say deluxe now. Dammit DC. Maybe we should all start sending emails and complaining

I mean, I got it for half off, and 400 pages for 20 is pretty damn good to me. It's just the idea of it, like Mignola is one of the most celebrated artist in the business. Blah

Is it truly so difficult to know if you're releasing a HC or a Deluxe HC? Thats so sloppy on their part.

DC's solicits have always been freaking terrible. Is it deluxe oversized, standard hardcover, softcover? What issues are actually collected in the book? What's the page count? If the issues collected in the book are right, how is that page count right? Etc., etc. What tends to really piss me off is they then want everybody to preorder the book or it might not come out at all. Please preorder our book, even though you don't exactly know what you're ordering.
