DC Hardcover Collected Editions Part 3

[GAMEPROFF]

Yes it is, but to be honest I'd advise getting the softcover book with the red cover. Or the equivalent book in hardcover. That edition is printed on a lot nicer paper that do the colors (esp. black) a lot better justice.

Yep, Dc Deluxes are almost always 11 inch tall

Thanks. I would love to buy it this format because I love the Oversized Format, but I see your points and I am a little bit unsure, If I should really just buy the Trade... I will think about it. Thanks a lot anyway!

The Doom Patrol has been my most anticipated Omnibus of the whole year and of course this has to happen to me:

It's my most anticipated book too and it was finally dispatched 2 days ago. Hope mine will arrive in mint condition. Who was your seller?

Aren't those creases really common for any omnibus?

I've been looking around and I notice Absolute Identity Crisis and Absolute Superman: For Tomorrow are a lot of cheaper now, are these items on clearance? And would you recommend them?

I liked Identity Crisis (don't know how is Absolute, I have a HC), but I can't recommend Superman: For Tomorrow. Art is ok there, but story is not.

Yeah they are clearanced. IST had a sale some time ago where those were %65 off.

nope, I have several omnis in perfect condition (all of them ordered online, sent from the UK or US to Hungary, except one).

Damn, I want that Doom patrol omni but am worried greatly about the size.

Not if they're well packed (assuming they were not like that already prior to shipment). IST has opened my eyes on how well packed these books can be.

As Victor mentioned, they were heavily clearanced by IST a few months ago. I ended up picking them up too, despite not needing any more books to get.

I think it depends on sales but based on the Invisibles there is a chance DP will get the deluxe treatment too a a few years from now.
Do you have any huuuuge omnis? I have some and I'm almost always reading them at a table and don't have any problem with the size (and I'm not even leaning over since my back is not the best).

I dislike the huge omnis, but like Balakin said reading at a table is not an issue at all.

It's rare that mine don't arrive like that, how on earth you manage to receive mint ones I do not know. All mine have slight bumps and dings somewhere on them, par for the course when I order from Amazon etc.

Amazon is the pits for omnis. It's weird because if I order a $10 trade they put it in either the wrap-around box/envelope thing or a reasonable sized box with that inflatable padding. Admittedly, the padding is usually deflated, but at least it shows an effort. I order a $70 omni and they throw it in a far too large box with no protection at all.

Luck maybe? I even have mint ones from bookdepository. Also, shops like tfaw and even SpeedyHen has great packaging (I know people are complained about Speedyhen's packiging in case of domestic shipping but my international orders arrived well packaged. Doom Patrol is my first domestic order from them.)

[danmar85]

I'd say half of what I've ordered from Amazon shows up slightly dinged in the corners. Since I live in the states I'm lucky enough to order from sites like IST instead. They pack their boxes so well they start taking on more of an oval shape lol. Latest order should finally show up tomorrow.
