DC Hardcover Collected Editions Part 3

[TomSlick]

I completely agree on Judd Winick. He was the best writer at DC and the only one that's left comics that I really miss.

Ugh.

I haven't read his Green Lantern, but his Green Arrow was...for the lack of a better term, horrendous.

Kyle was a decent GL - despite his stupid mask - prior to Winick. But Winick - with his imagination and creativity - made him great.

And then came his GA run. Now, I suspect history will be kinder to it and I didn't find it as bad as some, but he followed it up with GA and Black Canary which was downright fucking horrible. Especially what he did to Connor.

That said I'd recommend that whole GL run that began in the 1990s. I think it ran for about 180 issues and also had some great stories by Gerard Jones and Ron Marz.

[Vilynne]

Why is that strange? Alan Moore's Swamp Thing is the most wanted Omnibus ever, no?
(but they can omnify the Rick Veitch, Doug Wheeler, Nancy A. Collins, Mark Millar and Brian K. Vaughan volumes also for all I care)



So, no JLI, no Grant reprints but ... crap ? Anyway, it's the "sequel" to darkseid war, right?

I guess I mean for the Wien era. I already have the trades for Moore's run, so I really don't care for an Omni.

I've read a few issues of the Marz run, and I've always wanted to read the entire volume up until Rebirth/Johns, and I'm completely open to reading Winick's GL run

So-- do we have any confirmation that the DC Rebirth Omnibus contains the actual 80-page Rebirth Special? If not, I don't think I'll be picking it up.

I really enjoyed the whole run too. The stories are always interesting and fun but you get to see Kyle become a genuine all time great Lantern as the run progresses which is really cool. Never feels like it's being held back to maintain a status quo.

I also liked Winick's Green Arrow. Especially the last two arcs after the one year jump DC did.

I thought I was alone in liking Winick's Green Lantern run. The reason I love Kyle so much was his run. Wonder what Winick is doing these days.

I doubt it has it since they just released the rebirth special in HC last week.

Is anyone picking up that HC? I want to read the story and own it but I have a hard time paying 10 bucks for a 1 issue HC even if the issue is oversized. And I bet the HC isn't even ohc.

It's a deluxe hc so it should be oversized.

[drd]

The Rebirth Hardcover is definitly oversized, I've seen it with me own two eyes.

[mtop2036]

Some how I missed deluxe in the solicitation, but that's good to hear. That makes me feel a bit better about the price.

[TomSlick]

Winick's Exiles also was pretty good but that was a Marvel title.

Yes, the Rebirth one-shot is oversized and no it isn't in the omnibus.

Yes, it is not worth wasting money on that garbage book.

What logic possesses come one to make them decide not to collect the first part of the story with the rest. A lot of the specials continue from Rebirth. You need it to understand a lot of what happens. It makes no sense.

Maybe they want you to buy the Rebirth Deluxe and the Rebirth Omnibus and stand them up on the shelf next to each other? They are the same height......

Personally, I won't be buying them (I have the Rebirth one shot floppy anyway).

So help me understand the Rebirth Omni and Rebirth Deluxe?
Are they just the #1's of all the new series?

Rebirth Deluxe is the 80-page Rebirth one-shot along with a few bonus pages. The Rebirth omni is all of the Rebirth #1 one-shots (these came before each series' proper #1s), supposedly along with the 80-page Rebirth one-shot.
