    Pass on ST absolute. TPBs are just ideal imo, but I am interested to see the new coloring

    I thought that, until it came out and now, as much as I love swamp thing (that and hellblazer got me into comics all those millions of years ago) I’ve decided to wait for the omni

    Question for you all from a Marvelite. I don't peruse here often, so if this is old news to you all, I apologize.

    It looks like DC is going to reprint the initial Justice League Silver Age omnibus in MAR 2020. See link below:
    https://www.amazon.com/Justice-Leagu...s=books&sr=1-6

    I'm guessing this would have the trade dress all the other DC Silver and Bronze Age omnis have. This would be similar to what they did to Flash omni vol 1, where they reprinted it with the new cover from Darwyn Cooke.

    My question is, is this still happening? The cover via Amazon is the old cover (but it's Amazon, so I don't trust it). Yet its DC we're talking about here, and they pull solicits from time to time, so I'm wondering if this was pulled, because I don't see this listed anywhere on TakesofWonder's upcoming books. Have you heard anything about this?

    I'd like to know if a reprint with the new trade dress is happening for the JLA SA vol 1 omni, before I go buy that hideous dark blueish/purple one. thanks!

    Collecting the Eisner Award-nominated series in Deluxe Edition format! Batman: White Knight follows the transformation of The Joker into a sane citizen of Gotham City known as Jack Napier. After reconciling with his long-suffering partner, Harley Quinn, he sets in motion a carefully plotted campaign to discredit the one person whom he views as Gotham City’s true enemy: Batman. Napier’s crusade exposes a decades-long history of corruption within the Gotham City Police Department and transforms him into a city councilman and civic hero. But when the sins of his past return to threaten everything that he has accomplished, the distinctions between savior and destroyer begin to break down for both The Joker and Batman alike—and with them, any hope for Gotham’s future. Collecting the acclaimed eight-issue miniseries, plus extras including sketches, designs, and Sean Murphy’s original inked pages, and a brand-new cover by Murphy!

    Glad I passed on the direct market standard sized hardcover, I'll be getting this one.
    Hopefully they do the same with Mister Miracle.

    THX. The one thing that bothers me is the solicit states: A new printing of the hardcover collecting JLA’s first 20 adventures in a single volume spanning 1960-1964.
    It's the same page count as the older dark blue one but that contained THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD #28-30, JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #1-30; so unless they're counting actual stories that flow from one book to another vs. issues, then perhaps it is truly "20 adventures". it just sounds weird, typically they talk about issues. Anyways, fingers crossed this actually happens. I think this is still in stock (the old version) most everywhere, so it seems a little sketchy to release it just for a new trade dress - I mean, I'm all for it, it's just you would think they'd wait until it's OOP before they reprint it.

    I got interested on that Absolute Fables. The full collection on 5 huge HCs will look great! In my opinion, Fables deserve way more the Absolute format than Y - the art is really pretty.

    I did not expect to see Fables get an absolute great book look forward to getting it in absolute form.

    I agree with that, when y got the absolute treatment it made me think that DC will now put anything out in that format, it’s supposed to be for the very best

    How do they quantify how good a comic is to get such treatment? For example, Y: The Last Man is one of my favourite reads
    “We have a saying, my people. Don’t kill if you can wound, don’t wound if you can subdue, don’t subdue if you can pacify, and don’t raise your hand at all until you’ve first extended it.”

    I love Y too! Epic journey.
    Well, in my mind to get the Absolute treatment the art should benefit from the giant size; the art from Y and even from Preacher I don't think they improve that much like Sandman, Planetary, Promethea or The Dark Knight. Buuut everything is really subjective haha
    One long comic I would love to see in that format is 100 Bullets!
