    I was really only talking Starman being cancelled not the other ones because like I said it has already failed twice in vol 3 tpb versions I expect they will end up bailing on this one also.

    This DC modern classic line (watchmen and TDKR so far) are they oversized?

    One one hand the Omni seems unwieldy. But on the other, i prefer oversized pages. Decisions, decisions...
    Yeah I'm in the same boat, I prefer OHC but damn this is one big omnibus lol.

    By the way, is anyone familiar with the issues collected in "the Tales of the Batman: Marv Wolfman"?

    I have never read those issues but I like some of Wolfman other works and well I like Batman too, so I was wondering is it worth picking up?

    Seems like it had a lot to do with the push for YA books. Dan Dido made a FB post saying that alot of the books eventually will see a release.

    Nope. Standard size. No extras (at least in Watchmen).

    Cheers, and yeah, just found out, it arrived today, nicely put together, second thoughts about getting rid of my Absolute for it, but I’m now committed, as far as the extras, I have rarely found any I have been interested in, ever, so not really bothered about that

    I haven't seen any of these Modern Classics books yet. Too bad they are not oversized. How good is the binding on them? Sewn and flexes up from the cover or just glued flat to it? Also how's the paper quality and type? Matte, glossy, semi/satin finish?

    They seem really well put together, more of a satin finish, the slipcase almost has a rubber feel to it, I was slightly disappointed with the size when it showed up, but to be honest (its the same size as the bprd omnis) I think I prefer them this size, I’ll definitely be selling my Absolute, watchmen, tdkr, and all star superman and replacing them

    The DKR Modern Classics has been cancelled, so I'd hold off on selling anything until you have the book in your hands.
