DC Hardcover Collected Editions Part 3

[Nab432]

Yes, thanks for the updates Raffi!

Definitely getting Batman by Morrison 3. Still haven't decided if I'm getting the Moore Swamp Thing in absolute or wait for a possible omni, discouraged by the revisionism either way. Might try a few others...the Deluxe Editions get me to try things I normally wouldn't cause it's such a nice format.

Same. Definitely getting Batman by Morrison 3 as well. I looked into Justice League International as I wasn’t familiar with it. Apparently the run itself was great but DC totally screwed up the first volume with many printing errors (apparently corrected in a second printing but this isn’t clear on IST - I’m not seeing corrected printing in the title description like I did for fourth world in similar circumstances) and not to mention poor quality scans of the art. With this in mind, I can’t be bothered with the second volume which is a shame because I would be very interested had it been handled properly by DC.

"Many printing errors" is complete nonsense. There were exactly two empty speech bubbles and two swapped pages (both corrected in the second printing), that's all. The main problem (and the only serious problem) is the poor quality of the scans.

I bought the first JLI Omnibus, but I surely won't buy the second one, if the quality of scans isn't dramatically improved!

Oh thanks for saying that, I was just wondering about the JLI collections this morning.

Has anyone seen a release date for the Englehart Batman earlier than late April?

If you ask me, those errors alone are too many. This was one of the most anticipated releases for a lot of people. With fourth world and this to just name two high profile examples, it’s clear DC’s quality control is lacking. Shouldn’t be hard to avoid these types of issues. You don’t see Marvel dealing with this type of problem. It’s a shame. They need to do a total revamp of their collections dept.

I wonder what colour spine of 3rd Morrison omni will be. Yellow, Blue and... I kinda dig the design tbh. Much better than Snyder/Capullo that's for sure.

I think they make something new, to more excite people

So with that Dark Knight Golden Child ohc...was there ever a DK3 ohc? I was confused with all the different versions

[JCinOntario]

Thanks for the updates. Will grab JLI Omni 2, JLA deluxe by Meltzer, and the Sandman deluxe.

Just grabbed the Doom Patrol Omni by Byrne. Is this collection just due to the tv show? I don’t remember this run being particularly memorable but I love this team so happy to get it in Omni form.

Some new DC fishes:

Batman: The Demon Trilogy

Y: The Last Man Compendium One

Batman: Gotham by Gaslight Deluxe Edition

Batman: The Man Who Laughs Deluxe Edition

New Gods Book One: Bloodlines

Swamp Thing Noir

Animal Man by Grant Morrison Book Two Deluxe Edition

Batman by Paul Dini Omnibus

Fables Compendium One

[newparisian]

Hell yes to the Demon trilogy, and the Fables compendium. But 800 seems too small for 41 issues + specials for the latter.

Any word on when Lucifer omni v2 might be dropping, or when we may find out the contents of the Morrison JLA omni?

The now cancelled Absolute Fables Vol 1 was 792 pages and had #1 to 29 and the Last Castle special. I'd say the contents of the compendium will be similar when it's hits the solicits.

That Dini omni is tempting. I loved his pre-RIP run on 'Tec. Not a huge Hush fan, so I'll have to think about it a bit.

Still waiting on that Hush omnibus....
