DC Hardcover Collected Editions Part 3

[SJNeal]

Is the Byrne Doom Patrol run any good? I’ve never read it before and just curious if it’s cash grab due to the series or Byrne.

50/50 on this. I’ll be getting the Bronze Age omnibus (providing it’s not cancelled) as it links up to my Morrison Omni

Byrne's DP was awful, imho. Not worth your money in the slightest.

The Bronze Age book is a better bet; I'll be picking that one up for sure.

Batman by Morrison v2 comes out on Wednesday - I'm super interested to see where DC landed on the reading order (at this juncture, there's little point in suggesting an order, but I suppose we can all get apprehensive that it won't match our preference). I'll be fine with any vaguely reasonable order - I'm just ready to re-read all this material again (well, in two weeks - I got a fantastic pre-order price on Amazon)

On the marvel masterworks board someone posted this about the order:

A member of the Omnibus Collector's Facebook group got an early copy and posted the order:

Batman & Robin 1-9
Batman 700
B&R 10-12 alternating with Return of Bruce Wayne 1-3 (B&R 10, then RoBW 1, then B&R 11, etc.)
Batman 701-701
B&R 13-15 alternating with RoBW 4-6
B&R 16

Cool. That's about what I expected and should flow pretty well. My only real question was if they'd break up 10-12 or run them consecutively followed by ROBW 1-3 (after seeing how Knightfall v2 was collected, it seemed like DC preferred ordering omnibuses so that they could be easily broken up into tpb-sized chunks).

DOOMSDAY CLOCK PART ONE HC worth it? Why not Deluxe edition with 12 issues? lol Is there a chance for omnibus and should I skip?

Morrison worth the purchase?

Morrison worth the purchase?

Absolutely, but you'll want to be familiar with volume 1.

It's practically guaranteed they'll eventually release it in both omnibus and absolute form. I'd wait it out if I were you.

Why not just do an Infinite Crisis Companion Omnibus DC Collections Dept???

Why not just do an Infinite Crisis Companion Omnibus DC Collections Dept???

Because instead of charging $150 for a companion omnibus they can charge us $75 for each companion separately. I believe there’s going to be what, four deluxes? I may have that wrong.

[Stinky]

Very. I would say it is very likely they are later re-solicited.
However, if you're going to publish them anyway, why not as originally scheduled?

Is it just to try and capitalize on Aquaman and Doom Patrol media tie-ins? Aquaman is hot, sequel forthcoming and DP with the new show. Strike while the iron is hot cause you know you have a captive audience on the Bronze Age JLA v.3 and B:B&B v.3

I hope so much this is true. Those two Bronze Age books would be beyond great for me personally.

Byrne's DP was awful, imho. Not worth your money in the slightest.

It's a real shame that such a crap is getting the omnibus treatment while (already announced) premium content like Brave And The Bold Batman Vol. 3 or JLA Vol. 3 is cancelled!

[My Two Cents]

I plan on picking up the “crap”
I read the series years back
And while it pales to his Fantastic Four
And Superman’, and probably was
In his declining years of writer/artist
Output it was for me still a nice
Comic book.

but than that could just be the
Big Jonn Byrne fan in me
