Batman Trades and Harcovers You Got Recently

[masahikotahara]

The leather bound hardcover The Complete Frank Miller Batman (by Longmeadow Press) is probably the most beautiful edition of a Batman comic that I own. I just picked up the other Batman book from Longmeadow Press: The Greatest Joker Stories Ever Told.

Archie Goodwin batman - not my fave, pretty standard stuff.

Still waiting for a proper big/thick collection of Morrison batman. Intros, notes, concept art all of it

It's gonna be REAL hard for DC to do it all or all correctly. So I custom bound it.

Issues for DC & readers:

a) Do you leave out Resurrection of Ra's Al Ghul? Morrison wrote two whole issues of it (two issues that make no sense by themselves), with some father/son parallels and talk of possessing a man's body, and he throws in some Silver Age characters (the Insect Girls - Tiger Moth, Dragonfly, and Silken Spider).

b) How do you order B&R, RoBW, and 700-702 in the collection? ...they were meant to read all intermixed and we kinda know that because RoBW issues will refer to current events in B&R and vice versa (I used Chris Burnham's order that he posted on CBR here, closest to an official order we got and it makes sense)

c) Do you include Final Crisis? The post-RIP Last Rites Morrison issues were confirmedly (by Morrison) meant to be read as part of Final Crisis. That's why they are in the new edition of Final Crisis (the Absolute and softcover). You could try and say "Well, we can leave out Final Crisis because of 701-702" but then you're effectively saying that you're fine with the Last Rites issues (682 & 683) being separated from Morrison's stated placement within Final Crisis.

It's not as if DC cares when issues are intermixed. Sometimes an annual is put at the end of an HC collection when it should be in a different place. When in a single volume I don't mind skipping back and forth.

Agreed, DC is in the stone age when it comes to reprints compared to Marvel's collected editions

Yes, and The Complete Frank Miller Batman has silver page edges. I don't know if there is a different printing for each book without the nice page edges?
