    Amazon sent an email this morning saying this :

    We now have delivery date(s) for the order you placed:

    Giffen, Keith "Legion of Super-Heroes: Five Years Later Vol. 1"
    Estimated arrival date: July 29, 2019 - August 05, 2019

    I thought the book had been cancelled. Could it actually be coming out this summer ?

    Oh, happy, happy day.

    In Dec 2017 and in Sept 2018, I sent DC long emails on collecting Morrison's Batman run and a pdf copy of a print out of Chris Burnham's old long gone CBR post (he had two, but I only sent one) giving his "Morrison supergeek" reading order for B&R, RoBW, Batman #700-702 (and minus Batman The Return).

    And my god, DC listened (and passed along my suggestions they told me) and in the end gave us that very order in Batman by Grant Morrison Omnibus Vol 2!

    I thank them so much. I'm so happy.

    Grant Morrison: “Adults...struggle desperately with fiction, demanding constantly that it conform to the rules of everyday life. Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can possibly fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real.”

    Well done. I was originally ambivalent about the order, but after seeing how they did Knightfall v2, I'm glad someone intervened. I won't have my copy for a couple weeks, but I'm incredibly excited. Morrison's run is still the highwater mark for me.

    I hope no one got their hopes up on account of this, because it turns out Amazon was just trolling. They sent me another email saying the LSH book was back to its 2080 release date. Sorry everyone !

    I don’t think these have been mentioned yet

    Absolute Batman: The Dark Knight: The Master Race https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/14012996..._BHrdDbZXMVJN8

    Absolute DC: The New Frontier 15th Anniversary Edition https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/17795013..._UIrdDbEMSVKY2


    I’m tempted to get new frontier again just for the special that is now included

    How would people map out a 2 volume JLA by Morrison Omnibus set ?

    What would people include in the 2 vol’s ?

    Is this where I make my stand that Aztek needs to be included in the collection for the whole thing to land? Honestly, just concatenating the four collections into two volumes would work just fine. As a completionist, it'd be nice if they filled in the non-Morrison issues just so the omnibuses went 1-41, but I'm fine either way.

    Since its unlikely Aztek gets its own 12 issue complete TPB anytime, if ever, including it in a Morrison JLA Omni would be a solid idea I could support.

    Hey guys, I'm mostly over in the Marvel collected editions thread, but I gotta ask - Alan Moore's Absolute Swamp thing vol. 1 - is it coming out next week or in October??

    Amazon and TOW say October, while IST says next week...

    Im all for that with regards to Aztec. I would want DC One Million in there as well.

    I'm pretty sure October. Both Edelweiss and Penguin Random House say October. DC's website says next week, which was the original date, but I remember back in February it was canceled and quickly solicited again for October. There was an article about what the issue was, but yeah, should be October.

    The most recent paperback from 2016 already included this special:

    I'm a bit torn on this - because there is the giant One Million omni, it'd be kind of cool to break up the two Morrison ones as before and after volumes (of course, I say this as someone that already owns the One Million omni). I would absolutely trade out those 6 issues for Aztek* . Granted, I'm sure DC would change the trade dress so that the three volumes all looked different on the shelves . . .


    *If for some reason it was a "one or the other" situation, which would be weird.

    Yeah, not a paperback collector, as New Fromtier is one of my favourite stories I’d like to have the whole thing as an absolute, just trying to decide if it’s worth me selling the one I have to get the new expanded one

    What I don’t want is some stupid ‘15th anniversary edition’ banner plastered all over it
