To echo Tom Slick, not only are reprints not inevitable, but we might end up with one of the 500 dollar box sets like Marvel did for Civil War and Secret Wars rather than a reprint. AoA got a...

Just a suggestion - you attract more flies with honey than vinegar. When I've asked him a question in the past, I've gotten a good response doing so respectfully and politely. I doubt "barking" at...

Oh Jesus, I loved Kevin Smith's run. It left me thinking "Damn, could anyone actually do better?" Then Brad Meltzer did Archer's Quest and did just that. It's definitely worth a read.

I disagree. It's an adult, mature, 21st century way. If it were Vertigo, it would have been twisted. It's mature, but not Vertigo level.

From what I've always read and understood, the book is so polarizing - people seem to either think it's fantastic or utter crap - because it essentially took DCU characters and put them in realistic...

Don't forget, the people working on our newer collections even now are likely different than last year, because they just moved to Burbank.

Takes just one whiner to spoil the fun these days.

I guess I'm the opposite. I love the Epics. I was reading the Wolverine Epic last night; great build quality, good paper, and a good chunk of issues to get lost in. I've done the same with the other...

I remember Wolverine 100! It had a giant hologram variant cover in which you could see Wolvie's skeleton because he was being electrocuted. And yes, it was selling ridiculous amounts then. That's...

That's pretty much what they do instead of Epics or Complete Collections" I hate it.

A fair point, but I've seen Disney collectors lines run over ten years. The Walt Disney treasures DVDs lasted almost 10 years and only ceased because of the termination of the license of the people...

I think this is a little dickish way to put it, but it will offer that nothing happens in a vacuum. Stan Lee and Jack Kirby worked together and made these books and characters. Who knows what would...

That's what I like about it.

I honestly am worried about line dilution and the epics coming out too slowly, but I have this feeling in my gut that the epics are a Disney-mandated idea, not unlike that line of DVDs they used to...

I've said it before and will say it again...even though they're not hardcover, some of the wish list items here (Byrne's Superman, for example) would make great epic-type volumes. I love omnis, and...

I hope this helps anyone who wonders in the differences in quality between the two.

And a few more. The original hardcover is first, the Absolute second.

Some pictures of the 1997 hardcover collection of Kingdom Come versus the Absolute, second edition. I used the 1997 hardcover because it is the same master as the current trade paperback is printed...

I'm glad you are keeping it (for you). I own Kingdom Come in every edition it's been published in, and while the original hardcover is beautiful, I generally pull out only the Absolute when I want to...

Did you not like Rebirth because you didn't like the retcon or did you not like Rebirth because of the storytelling?

I grew up reading Kyle Rayner. I loved Kyle as GL, and though I went back and...

I know this is a hardcover forum, and that's what people usually prefer, but I love the epics...and I loved the phone-book sized Knightfall volumes we got. Not everything needs (or should be...for...

I know some of you won't like me saying this, but I really wish DC would start doing volumes much like the Marvel Epic collections. Whether they're paperback or hardcover...collections like those...

If anyone knows how to right them up, feel free (if you are an admin). I shot them rightside up but the attachment thing turned them and I cannot figure out how to fix them.
