DC generally should get their act together regarding the information about their books and their contents. We never know if the solicitations are correct, but it's been going for few years now and I can't see that it will change - the newest have several books that given contents don't match given page count, and I bet in some cases BOTH are wrong. And then they don't communicate (at least that's what I assume) the updates/corrections through Diamond, which should be the only channel we need to keep up with, especially for the books already solicited.
In theory Robin vol. 2 looks pretty straighforward to me: Robin II #1-4, Annual #1, Robin III #1-6. I don't know if it means anything, but Amazon's listing has now a Robin III #1 cover attached to it. Anyway, we'll see the solicitation next week.
Talking of COIE deluxe, has any one noticed that height wise the book is the right deluxe size, but length wise, it's slightly smaller than usual?

Has anyone received this or know what it contains besides the two stories?
I've ordered it at my L.C.S., should arrive soon. From what I know, it contains quite a bit of supplementary.
"Para bellum. Sic vis pacem, para bellum. Every dawn, the boot camp sergeant made them recite it like a prayer. A litany. A declaration. Sic vis pacem, para bellum. The hitman's name is Billy "The Beaut" Russo. The Costas love him so dearly, they've made him fireproof. But there's fireproof and fireproof. Sic vis pacem, parabellum." -Frank "Punisher" Motherloving Castle.
i need your suggestions on how to read/collect the original league of extraordinary gentlemen mini series. i remember liking the series back when it came out and have decided to buy it in a nice format.
options are:
1. softcover omnibus
PRO: cheap. can be found for around 20-25€ for a new
CONTRA: but might not really be the best option for o'neill's very detailed and filigrane artwork
2. hardcover omnibus
PRO: oversized.
CONTRA: oop. good-very good used copies can be found for around 60-80€
3. 2-volume-absolute editions
PRO: everything, but...
CONTRA: the price. vol 1 is oop, good-vg used copies can be found for around 90-120€. vol 2 can be found for cheap, around 50-60€ for a new one. makes around 140-180€ for both.
opinions are very welcome!
thanks!
the omnibus is the definition of mousetrap binding. But yeah, it's oversized.
Also, I think the rest of the series is great as well, it loses the steampunk setting but I honestly loved Black dossier and Century as well.
Nemo is also great (haven't read the 3rd yet, waiting fro the slipcase).
I've had the experience with all those routes
I am very happy with my absolutes. I picked up the first one for around $90, I think. It was my second time buying volume one.
The absolutes come with two volumes in each - the story in one book and extras (art, scripts, etc) in the second book. Well the first time I bought it it came with the vol. 1 story but with the extras from volume two as the second book. The buyer gave me a good refund. But I eventually sold it and bought volume one again - this time with the proper books included. It looks great and I'm happy with the purchase.
I'd like to give the BD a try but I've been hesitant because of the negative reviews.
