DC Hardcover Collected Editions Part 3

[ER Prest]

The Inferno omni just smashed together the original Inferno OHC and the Inferno Crossovers OHC, both of which I already had. I already saw a used copy of the mew omni at my LCS, and like I said, it's reprinted on flimsy tissue paper, bound tight, and has one of those cheap matte black covers. I love the faux leather with foil embossing on the originals.

The upcoming Fall of the Mutants omni is literally the OHC with the new branding - contents are identical. Although I suspect it will be noticeably thinner given the new paper stock...

I had to check - It was Mutant Massacre I was thinking about!

I didn't succumb to the Planet Hulk Omnibus as I have the original faux leather OHC. There is a slight regret in that the Omnibus has those extra issues but I'm not an Hulk completist so I'll live

I definitely am not picking up the new expanded Captain Britain Omnibus as I have the original two OHCs and original Omnibus which also contains two Captain America issues which the new Omnibus doesn't.

I flipped the Planet Hulk ohc for the omnibus for the extra issues. But I too have the 2 original ohc and omni for Captain Britain - I'm good with that.

DC's collections department is a shambles right now. I was just looking at my shelves and wondering what the next series to get orphaned will be. It's not looking good for the Superman: City of Tomorrow series right now. The fact that this wasn't sold as a Superman By Jeph Loeb and Joe kelly Omnibus series is mind-blowing.
How have we never seen a Deluxe or Absolute edition of Darwyn Cooke's Spirit run? So may wasted opportunities.

Yeah, if we get a vol. 3 I'll be shocked.

But you may be on to something; it would be typical DC if they reprinted the two vol.'s we do have as a single omni, and then continued the run in that format.

I went ahead and got the Supes omni by Tomasi & Gleason from amazon, as they kept lowering the price, and I ended up biting when it went down to $64. That, and while I haven't read that run, I've heard it's great - is it?

[Adset]

I would not say great, but I did enjoy it.

Less than great?
That's too bad - tons of people are putting it up there as one of the best Superman runs of all time.
I'm not quite expecting that, but that's the heights some readers are holding it up as.

I read a few of Tomasi's earlier works and found him to be extremely pedestrian, so I have my doubts on that.

I flipped through a copy at my shop yesterday. While I love that they're finally going to complete reprinting this masterpiece, I was not sold on the build of the book. It's soooo damn thick! And while gutter loss wasn't too bad, it just felt flimsy and weak. I'm not sure how many re-readings it will hold up to...

I agree. The size of that Starman book is just too much. Im sadly passing on it. Seems like it will fall apart - and just completely uncomfortable to read.

On the flipside - I love that DC is splitting the upcoming Question Omni into at least 2 volumes. 800-900 pages a book is perfect rather than a 1500 page monster.

I have 3 of DC’s compendiums and none of them have shown any signs of damage after reading them, but my Irredeemable omnibus by Boom which is also a paperback has completely fallen apart after reading it.
