DC Hardcover Collected Editions Part 3

[ER Prest]

Superman Year One looks like its oversized. Can someone confirm? Thanks!

I’m mixed on them.

I think they provide a greater sense of atmosphere, but there seems to be a loss in texture, unless that’s just an illusion to my eyes.

On second thought, I prefer the slime green and fun neon colors of the original, which make it feel more otherworldly, but the new coloring is easier to follow and easier on the eyes.

I feel the same. The new color definitely makes it feel like a brand new experience, which is exciting. On the other hand the odd colors of the previous forms really enhance it somehow. I can't exactly describe it. Its more than nostalgia, but this atmosphere that perfectly goes with the horror poetry that is the writing.

Superman Year One looks like its oversized. Can someone confirm? Thanks!

Yeah, its one of DCs Prestige Formats, which are 8x10 Euro-style.

Received my Batman by Snyder and Capullo today.

This may seem like a silly question but is there a safe way to stretch the spine of a DC Omni w/o damaging it?

I ask b/c this thing does not sit flat. It does not form an "eye" when opened up and the book really has some gutter loss issues.

I was really looking forward to the oversized presentation but after flipping through today, I'm not sure if I want to keep this or just stick with the smaller hardcovers from a few years back.

I just received mine in the mail today and noticed that as well. Shame too because this is the first omni I have bought in a while.

And here's Ollif's official recoloring for the Absolute:

I like the re-coloring

Looks like Auqaman omnibus joins the list of solicited, but now dead omnibus. They really need to get things together on the collected edition front.

[My Two Cents]

they are jack ass
Cancel at a high percentage rate or delay at a even higher
Percentage rate and than when a Omnibus finally does come
Out it’s a coin flip of good or crap binding.

Meaning SA Aquaman? That sucks. I’m hoping the BA Robin Omni still gets done, but that’s almost half a year away.

Me too the Joker survived the purge hopefully Robin can also. I will be unhappy with them till Brave and the Bold vol 3 comes. Justice League had a few more, but B&B just needed that 3rd volume.

[Seeker]

I can't believe the purge isn't with management. Outside looking in, it reeks of a chaotic environment with no clear leadership/vision.

I'm not getting the Jonah Hex Omni now, at least not the week of release. There is a frustration in me that they removed the Bronze Age branding on this book.
If I find it crazy cheap on clearance or blow out from a vendor I will get it then.

[My Two Cents]

I want some classic Hex in collected form and with less pages
The chances of a better put together book increases.
If it comes out I will buy it.

My All Star Comics deluxe hard cover with under 500 pages is
Far superior to how it lays and ability to be read compared
To my Snyder Batman 1100+ omnibus

Thanks for confirming!

What else is in this format? Last Knight on Earth?

So, after all the horrible collections of Moore's Swamp Thing, Absolute Swamp Thing is finally out!
Who's got it? Impressions?
