DC Hardcover Collected Editions Part 3

[Rincewind]

You make a crucial error in this calculation. If they were 24 issues per volume, it would be at LEAST $125 per volume, and probably actually $150 since they're putting in a lot of recoloring work.

I understand that the recoloring process can add to the production cost and increase the cover price. But even then I would prefer 2 higher priced volumes over 3 regular price volumes. Right now, it just feels that DC is doing smaller volumes to increase their revenue.

DC Comics Rush-Solicits Geoff Johns’ Run on Aquaman as an Omnibus in Time for the Movie

[bob.schoonover]

I wish they'd rush solicit Batman by Morrison v2. For me.

I don't know why, but I've always imaged an Absolute Swamp Thing as having thick matte paper like Watchmen, but that's not likely going to be the case right?

[canadianaidan64]

probably.. I doubt it will be super glossy.

I finished reading the Loeb-Sale Bats Omnibus.

I really dislike the black thick cardboard type covers DC uses for some of their books. While there was no damage that I could see, every time I opened or closed this book you’d hear loud popping and cracking noises.

Other than that, it’s a good book.

On my JSA omnibus vol 2 with that same board material, it would pop and crack every time I opened and closed it no matter how gentle I was. Eventually I noticed cracking occurring on the inside of the hinge, enough that I was worried that it would eventually tear entirely if I wasn't super careful.

That Aquaman by Johns Omni is a must get!

DC's Omnibus sales figures for August 2018:

Batman The Brave & The Bold: The Bronze Age Omnibus Vol. 2 - 391

This concerns me. Not quite a full 400 units!!
You folks who keep wanting Silver Age Batman aren't showing DC you're willing to get this material?? It'd be different if it were bad.

.

Yes, for me also. I'm looking forward to it. I picked up the "Throne of Atlantis" story in single issues and enjoyed it.

Didn’t it just come out in late August? So that wouldn’t be a full month of sales?

I'm glad we're finally getting this, but that logo is completely uninspired. Wonder why they didn't just go with the actual one from the series...?

So how likely is it that an Omnibus (or 2) of this would be coming in the next year or two?

[Johnny Thunders!]

Do most people get rid of their floppy issues? The Wonder Woman book is a must buy for me and this one was really good. So happy to see Seven Soldiers do well. I really think that book is Multiversity and Final Crisis all in one. When those issues came out one by one. Every issue felt like the debut of yet another super star artist. Multiversity is classic. Seven Soldiers for me reads like Multiversity stretched over 20 something issues.

Is anyone else collecting the post-COIE Batman trades that are being released? So far I've got Second Chances and Dark Knight Detective vol.1. Next I'll grab Caped Crusader v1 and DKD v2.

My question is: I'm seeing a Legends of the Dark Knight by Norm Breyfogle v2 coming out in a few months. Since the issues in that aren't too far past what these new trades include, should I pick that up or wait for the next volumes of CC and DKD to cover that same material? Who knows what their plans are for this material, since it's strange they'd cover this era in different types of collections. Wish they'd just omni it all (not to mention all the gaps in those trades I'm having to fill).
