DC Hardcover Collected Editions Part 3

[SJNeal]

Thanks! Although they still look rather slim :/

All those Young Adult OGNs are killing my vibes. I'm probably wrong... But I have a theory DC is pushing those instead of collected editions.

It looks like some of those YA OGN's are resolicits to coincide with Pride Month, but I could be wrong. Either way, I'm not the demographic they're aiming at so they're easy skips.

I've been collecting those 80th Anniversary Deluxe OHCs, other than the Joker one. Glad we've finally made it up to Wonder Woman.

This... seems really pointless.

They already did an omnibus of all the first issues, and that didn't sell great. I guess they thought a "greatest hits" book featuring issues that have already been reprinted multiple times across multiple formats was something we were clamoring for...?

I don't get it either. It's 400 pages as well, isn't that more on the Omni side than a Dlx OHC?

[SJNeal]

Nah, the page count is in line for a Deluxe.

Although skinny omnibus aren't unheard of (Marvel has quite a few in the 700-800 range).

I feel out of touch then!

I'm....glad these solicits are thin. I need to catch up on buying from my IST wish list.

I mean reading the books I've already purchased.
