DC’s greatest heroes are redefined from the ground up in this box set collecting three Earth One stories, presenting bold new origin stories for Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman!

Wonder Woman: Earth One, from comic book superstars Grant Morrison and Yanick Paquette, re-creates Diana of Themyscira’s mythology in a thoroughly modern but still timeless epic. Superman: Earth One, written by Babylon 5 creator J. Michael Straczynski and illustrated by acclaimed artist Shane Davis, started the Earth One line, with an unexpected and provocative perspective on Clark Kent’s transformation into Superman and his first year as the Man of Steel.

Decided to order Batman by Dini and LoSH: 5YL right off the bat this morning - after the Grell Green Arrow Omnibus disappeared at the discount places (IST, CGN) after a couple weeks, I'm not risking missing out on those two.

Decided to order Batman by Dini and LoSH: 5YL right off the bat this morning - after the Grell Green Arrow Omnibus disappeared at the discount places (IST, CGN) after a couple weeks, I'm not risking missing out on those two.

Same. I hesitated on GA because I wasn't sure I wanted to pay so much for the format, and then it was gone before I even realized it was available. Can't risk it with Legion. It's my favorite series.

[My Two Cents]

I ordered the Dini Batman omnibus and Legion 5 year later omnibus
Kind sucks neither was discounted 50% at IST

Yeah I really miss that perk I think I might have to start preordering from DCBS from now on. Less headache, same result, and they have the books for 50% off. Just the learning curve is stopping me from making the switch... and not sure how the shipping situation is with them.

Any preview or word on the reprint of "Absolute: Dark Knight"? The original build didn't feel quite up to the quality of current Absolute editions and the dust jacket was a bit of a pain. I'm hoping they've made some improvements.

Yea, I'd also like to know. Although I sold my original print many years ago, I never noticed any issue, but the Absolute build quality seems hit or miss.

Also is it just a new printing? Nothing new? I kinda wish they would have just done Returns on it's own, or even two hardcovers in the one slipcase.

Looks like Absolute Dark Knight is an exact reprint, including all the covers presented on a single page at the back. Shame.
