Hmmm...

I already have the first Absolute Watchmen, but some pages are wanting to fall out, and the outer slip is bubbling.
Wonder if this new printing will be much of an upgrade, if any.

Is their any word on the release of the third Milestone Compendium? I really loved Milestone's initial release I have my favorite titles of the run but was excited to read the other material. I have heard that it would take four compendium's to do it and two of them are already done. You guys seem to know ahead of time of what is down the pike. I was just wondering if the third compendium has already been announced by DC probably around February next year, which I think the last two compendiums were released.

PRH has tentative listings for DC thru Jan 2024. No Milestone v3 there yet, and they probably won't update that list for February for a few months

Bob thanks.I knew someone in here would know something.
