DC Hardcover Collected Editions Part 3

[Brian]

I've had the ''Watchmen Collector's Edition Hardcover (Slipcased)'' on my comic book wish list for some time now. Today I found a deal online and decided to buy it, but the image that shows on the DC website and on the website of my prefered online store are different from the book I bought:

Attachment 74798

Attachment 74799

I guess the black one (with Dr. Manhattan) was a concept image, but the slipcase ended up different, because I can't find any other photos of the black slipcase version online, just that one. Can someone tell me if that is the case? Thanks!

FWIW, I've only ever seen the white slipcase in shops.

DC's Omnibus and Absolute sales (new releases) for November 2018:

90. Absolute Transmetropolitan Vol. 3 - 858
129. Wonder Woman The Golden Age Omnibus Vol. 3 - 659

I like that GA WW vol.3 number!

Wonder if/when they may do and solicit a GA Green Arrow vol.2 Omni? Allegedly the material could be done in 3 volumes.
The Arrow show on the CW is the strongest argument for why a volume 1 was done. I'd do all 3 before that show leaves if they really want to collect and master so much of the companies bigger IPS older material.

Would you guys consider 52 by Geoff Johns an essential reading, or as important as Infinite Crisis and Final Crisis?

Considering buying the omnibus.

Considering buying the omnibus.

Definitely worth it. Originally, it was marketed as a follow up to Infinite Crisis, but you can actually read it on its own. All you need to know is Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman are out of the picture for a year - 52 is what's happening in the meantime.

Considering buying the omnibus.

You mean 52 by Grant Morrison, Mark Waid, Greg Rucka, Geoff Johns, and Keith Giffen?

lol, this. And yes, it's an incredible book.

Yup! Its DC running and firing on ALL cylinders. I need to reread it.

[Author]

Haha, thanks everyone.

Does anyone know if they are just releasing the one volume of the deluxe anniversary edition of Morrison's Animal Man or if they are going to release books for the whole run?

I'm guessing there will be a vol. 2, since that's all that's needed to complete Morrison's run. And he's a big enough name that you don't have to worry about that second vol. being canceled at the last minute.

Thanks! I kinda figured they'd finish the run but hadn't seen any announcements.

[LordJulius]

Definitely will get the Zero Hour Omnibus, maybe the Batman Eternal one as well.

[Adset]

oooooh that brave and the bold mini-series was excellent. i might have to partake.

[SJNeal]

Definitely will get the Zero Hour Omnibus

Yeah, I'm a sucker for Zero Hour so I'll be picking it up too.

Speaking of suckers, I could swear I just bought a crappy, regular hardcover (with almost no extras) less than a year ago...?
