DC Hardcover Collected Editions Part 3

[Vilynne]

The Len Wein stuff which runs about 13 issues is decent but the rest is boring at best. The book however does have some decent art even after Wrightson left.

Yes. It also includes the never before collected Marty Pasko run, which was extremely wordy and boring at times...but definitely not bad by any means. Theres and issue filled with movie tropes and homages, I believe thats issue #8...? And issues after #13 iirc are much better.

The Satanic issues were kind of cool.

This might be old hat, but everyone's advice here has really worked out with JSA, Green Lantern, Gotham Central & Infinite Crisis. So I'm going 5 for 5.

Do you recommend the American Vampire Omnibus? I'm getting IC, but not FC if this is better. This looked like a better complete read.

Yes. This is Snyder's best work (imo), and I think it's even better than all those you mentioned above (which are all pretty good in their own right). Also has great art from Albuquerque, Nguyen, and Murphy.

Hell yeah. I could never get into the Snyder Batman hype train, but AV is great.

Ive just finished Aquaman by PAD Book 1. Really solid read. Not as good as TAC. But a nice successor. Really looking forward to reading more. Also ordered in Aquaman rebirth V.3. Im just loving this Aquaman kick ive been in. Been digging PAD a lot as well. Which reminds me i need to pick up v.3 of his Supergirl. So much to read!

Batman: Zero Year deserves the Absolute treatment. The art is stupendous.

Same here on Pad Aquaman. I never expected to like the hook hand and other stuff so much.

Some of it isnt my favorite, but its also a lot of fun. Especially considering how ive read a lot more modern Aquaman runs, its great to see the "origin" of them here

Probably the selling point of this volume is the Len Wein run. I think this run is coming out in trade by itself. Something to consider. I also don't regret buying it. I think the Omni size is worth it for the art.

Yeah I have it and it's great, I actually read the Saga Of The Swamp Thing issues from 1982 before the Wein/Wrightson stuff so I have a soft spot for those Martin Pasko/Tom Yeates stories.

I now have the thinner Deluxe HCs of Batman Year One and Two.
That got me curious about Year Three.
I quick bit of research shows me that was done in 1989. Its 30th Anniversary is coming up next year. I'd like them to go ahead and collect that as well.
On a personal note that was when I was really buying Batman so unlike Y1&2 I was reading month to month at that point so the nostalgia factor is there.

Year Three is interesting but has pretty bad art by Pat Broderick.

I need to get back to reading it soon!

Final Crisis 10th Anniversary Omnibus Gets Even Bigger

Makes perfect sense as JLA sets up Libra's backstory to the event.

My most recent haul during the past couple of weeks. I've been picking up a lot of BKV books (I've read these series before but they're all pretty great). I've managed to get each book for about $10 now that Marvel and DC have announced omnibus collections (or Absolute collections in the case of Y Last Man). Also, I'm continuing my run on Fables! Since most of the books are DC, I figured to post here.
