Is Flashpoint that they are releasing as an Absolute a good standalone story? I’m looking to really really cut down on my book collection, I’m getting the killing joke one as although really thin it’s a classic but the Morrison Batman absolutes I have just read (and in the process of selling) just weren’t (imo) Absolute worthy and I want some opinions on Flashpoint before I order

There's a. absolute Flashpoint being released?

Anyway, its a decent story. There was a few tie ins as well (is that being included in the Absolute?) That's really flesh out the world of Flashpoint so much more, and give it a different tone and mood. But just on it's own... I'd say only if you were a big Flash fan. I personally don't think it's worthy of the Absolute format.

Yeah, think I may give it a miss

Yeah, its only the 5 issue mini. I would hold off. I'm almost certain they'll release an Omni of it soon with all the tie ins. That would be the much better option.

Out of curiosity, how do these tiny Absolutes sell? I know they've had them in the past for a few issues of GL here and there, etc... it seems kinda like a wasted opportunity or something. I can't think of many collectors (cuz only a 'collector' would pay for an Absolute, let's be serious here) who ONLY want the 5 issue mini, or just the first 6 issues of a series, or just these 5-6 issues of this story arc... I dunno, maybe I'm over thinking it.

You are not over thinking buddy. I only got absolutes of complete runs like Sandman Absolute Editions and Wonder Woman Absolute Editions. I don't pay that much for events with no tie ins like Blackest Night... or parts of a runs like Batman and Robin by Morrison, Batman Inc or Court of Owls etc... half assed absolutes... Complete run or nothing so i usually go for Omnibuses.

I agree. I have avoided things like Court Of Owls where I have no confidence they will finish the run in the format.

With the DC modern classics solicitied for early next year, starting with Watchmen and TDKR, if the sales are good and this line continues what other storys are likely to be collected in this format?

[Crossfist]

How is the Geoff Johns Teen Titans omnibus? Any binding issues?

[Ivan P91]

Does Deluxe Edition automatically mean that the book will be oversized? More specifically, can anyone confirm that the Action Comics: Oz Effect Deluxe Edition is oversized? Amazon's dimensions suggest so, but nothing better than knowing from someone who has it.

The Action Comics: Rebirth Deluxe Edition Vol 3 description has been updated on many websites to say it contains #993-999 & #1001-1006 (previously #985-999), which means I'd need to get Oz Effect to bridge the gap.

These will be standard size yes? I still need to upgrade those from my very old German versions and it seems like a nice way to do it, but OHC would be nice. Otherwise I will buy the more recent OHC versions.
