DC Hardcover Collected Editions Part 3

[VanWinkle]

Thank you for the list! I still hope we will get a Deluxe edition of the Deathstroke serie by Priest next year.

By the way is anyone familiar with the Legion of Superheroes? I just finished the Great Darkness Saga Deluxe and I loved it, is Legion of Super-Heroes: The Curse Deluxe as good?

Thanks,

I don't know if I'd say it's AS good, but I think you'll like it a lot. Continues on with great material.

[Ramsay Snow]

Yeah, I'm torn on this. On one hand, if it's not there, then it's out of stock, fine. On the other hand, you wonder, "is it there and I'm just not seeing it?"
But compared to CGN, which lists everything since the dawn of time, and it feels like 80% of everything is listed as "out of stock"; it almost feels like a tease when you see it and then realize you can't have it.
So I'm not sure which is better...

They'll also immediately take it out of their top-ten listing. I first realized Morrison's Batman omnibus went out of stock when it disappeared off their ton top list.

I like seeing what has sold well, but it makes sense to take it off as it prevents an influx of email queries as to why they can't order the book.

[Ramsay Snow]

Thanks. When I couldn't find it I suspected it must have sold out but still. As much as I like IST, the website's search system is awful.
I actually have a copy but thought I'd hook up a friend. Oh well. I'm sure there will be more soon.

My only gripe with their search system is you can't search unreleased books (You have to browse through their "Coming Soon" catalog), and when you do find upcoming books you're interested in the price isn't listed.

[Balakin]

Thank you. I ordered the first 2 today. B.K.V. just seems like a really consistent writer, but it's always good to hear the good word.



Balakin if I just read FC on comixology, can I just cruise on to the Batman Morrison stuff? Owning the omni isn't important to me, especially if the tie-ins don't matter.

the tie ins not written by Morrison don't matter but the ones by him do! So definitely read Superman beyond and Final crisis submit in the reading order they are in the collected editions. Also Final crisis itself comes after Batman RIP and there are 2 or three issues of Batman that are FC tie ins (not sure if they are in the first Batman omnibus since I don't have that. I'm keeping my deluxes)

I wanted to mention that Brian Cronin is doing a new CBR Top 100 list. This is the first time he's done one for One-Shots and Graphic Novels. Voting ends August 31st. Here's a link:

By the way is anyone familiar with the Legion of Superheroes? I just finished the Great Darkness Saga Deluxe and I loved it, is Legion of Super-Heroes: The Curse Deluxe as good?

Dang, you mentioned those two Legion deluxe editions and it occurred to me that I'd like to own them as well. That was a notion quickly dashed. Great Darkness is about a brazillian dollars.

[My Two Cents]

My only gripe with their search system is you can't search unreleased books (You have to browse through their "Coming Soon" catalog), and when you do find upcoming books you're interested in the price isn't listed.

The only thing I find fault with when it comes to IST
I try to check out the last page of the up coming books each month so I can add the
books I want to my wish list. The bigger problem is when they are solicited by there publisher, each
book comes with a full detail of the contents and that is further up on with Diamond and than sites
like Amazon for pre-ordering. And yet for some reason (computer space?) In Stock Trades choses
to ignore all that and only gives full description of a book when they have it for sale

On second thought, (playing Devils advocate) maybe it is the constant changes between what is
originally solicited and what actually appears in a book , that in Stock (being a small company)
decided it would best to only add content after they have the actual book in there hand.

Thanks,

I thought the work collected in The Curse was actually much better than the GDS. If only because because the art is MUCH stronger throughout. What Giffen did with the Omen arc is mind-blowing. Levitz is in great form as well. Do yourself a favor and check The Curse ASAP !

I do like that other point. I never thought of that before. I still don't enjoy their search engine though :/

Long shot but anybody willing to swap a JL International or Detroit Omnibus for the X-Men Classic Omnibus?
Also looking for the Wonder Woman George Perez Omnibus'

Thank you both for your help! I will order the book soon I might try the Legion by Abnett and Lanning afterwards.

Yeah I was lucky I found it in "like new" condition for 15 bucks, so it was a good deal but I'm surprised that DC never reprinted this Deluxe since this story is really popular but also really important especially for Darkseid.
