    Theres always the Deluxe edition. Same contents as the Absolute, just in over-sized format instead.

    Saw that also exciting, but I really wish they had just done the whole series vs doing it by writer.

    Agreed. I just hope we get more than just 1 or 2 of the big names, otherwise the shelf is gonna look funny. I’m still piecing together the oversized #d tpbs because I kind of gave up hope on an Omni.

    This. I'll stick with the trades until they start collecting the rest of it in omnibus/oversized hardcovers

    Why is the 4th Deluxe of King's Batman spine black when all 3 before that were white? Anybody know why DC would make such a *@#%-headed decision?

    It's hard to say for certain what the current status of the line is. They've published one book so far (Watchmen), and cancelled two (Long Halloween and DKR). All-Star Superman is still on the schedule for October, but with DC that could change at any time before publication.

    Cool! That'll be one big Absolute. Judging from the page count, there will probably be no more than 2.
