DC Hardcover Collected Editions Part 3

[Dr Hank]

So there's a page missing in the new WW omni? Will they send me the page to glue in myself?

(Sorry didn't click the link, that site sucks down my data.)

DC should just shut down its collected editions department and completely retool it. They get nothing correct.

I saw somewhere that Justice League: Zero Hour was cancelled and I've seen on here that Edelweiss is the place to check. Sure enough it is. I think it's a new cancellation? Feel free to tell me if I was just out of the loop.
Anyway, while I was there I decided to see if anything else had been canceled in the summer catalogue, here's the list:

All-Star Batman & Robin, the Boy Wonder (DC Black Label Edition)
Batman: The Dark Knight Strikes Again (DC Black Label Edition)
Batman: The Dark Knight: The Master Race (DC Black Label Edition)
Batman: The Black Glove Saga (DC Essential Edition)
Justice League: Zero Hour
Batman: The Long Halloween (DC Modern Classics)
JLA: Tower of Babel (DC Essential Edition)
Infinite Crisis (DC Essential Edition)
JLA: Year One (New Edition)
Shazam by Geoff Johns & Gary Frank Deluxe Edition
Aquaman by Peter David Book Three
Absolute Dark Knight (New Edition)
Batman: The Endgame Saga (DC Essential Edition)
Flash/Impulse: Runs in the Family
The Joker: Lovers and Madmen
Electric Warriors
Border Town Vol. 1


I think Absolute Dark Knight (New Edition) was already known and obviously Border Town. I haven't seen the others mentioned here, though.

I would imagine many of the Essential Editions will get re-solicited after DC reorganizes their collections department. Flash/Impulse, Aquaman v3, JL: ZH, and JLA: Y1 all fall into my theory that 15-30 year old material will be the major thing being cut as DC winnows down their collections portfolio. Which is a massive shame (although it seemed likely to happen given how every one of those collections except Nightwing stopped getting released, presumably for sales reasons).

Just heard that DC have resolicited Teen Titans omnibus 4

I believe that was there plan all along, along with absolute swamp thing. Their releases were just being pushed back, not canceled all together

I'm super not happy about PAD's Aquaman Book Three getting the axe! Hopefully it pops up again later.

Also bummed about Justice League: Zero Hour, even though there were only about 5 of us who were going to buy it...

Thanks, I didn't realise the resolicit was guaranteed. From what I'd heard people were suspecting it would be resolicited, but weren't 100% certain.

The only one I'm really worried about actually seeing print is Simonson's Orion, which will suck because I loved volume 1 (after skipping the omni like a fool!).

Given how half of the recent omnibus releases by DC are missing or transposing pages, skipping seems so less foolish . . .

I'm super curious what they're going to do to Crisis to make it worth $500. There are a bunch of things they could do that would be incredibly enticing

[My Two Cents]

Probably will get the Geoff John Stargirl trade

No you're right. Nothing is ever certain with DC lol

Any idea what the Crisis boxset will include?

Also, DC cancelled Batman Shaman too...

I think Absolute Dark Knight (New Edition) was already known and obviously Border Town. I haven't seen the others mentioned here, though.

Some of the Essential and Black Label books are still in print as regular editions, so there's no big loss there. The Black Glove saga book surprises me, considering they literally just solicited it and wouldn't have initial orders in yet, never mind final orders. But I think the Batman & Son fat trade is still in print, so that covers most of those contents anyway.

Aquaman by Peter David is disappointing, and leaves yet another series orphaned on my shelf. Maybe they should all form a team with Cassandra Cain...

Odd to see another Modern Classics book cancelled as well. That line was supposed to kick off last November, but nothing's been released yet. Watchmen is due out in a few weeks, and is probably safe, but the next book after that is All-Star Superman in October. And that just had a Black Label edition released, so who knows if it will actually see print.

All in all, you really have to wonder if DC knows what it's doing with its collected editions.
