DC Hardcover Collected Editions Part 3

[gohei_]

I feel your pain. I got burned on the Super Sons Omnibus and Death of Supes Omnibus. I fortunately managed to offload the former and buy the extended edition. Still figuring what to do with the latter.



True that, unfortunately.

What's up with the Superman Omni?

What's up with the Superman Omni?

I have the 2013 printing which collects the following:

Superman: Man of Steel #17-26, Superman #73-82, Adventures of Superman #496-505, Action Comics #683-692, Green Lantern #46, Justice League of America #69

The 2019 printing collects the following:

Superman: Man of Steel #17-26 and Annual #2, Superman #73-83, Adventures of Superman #496-505 & Annual #5, Action Comics #683-692 & Annual #5, Green Lantern #46, Justice League of America #69-70, Newstime: The Life and Death of Superman, Superman: The Legacy of Superman #1, Supergirl and Team Luther Special #1, foldout from Superman #75.

So about 7 extra issues and the foldout

So about 7 extra issues and the foldout

Oh yeah, that's a bummer. I have the latest paperbacks, so it's the same content as the 2019 version then, except the foldout and the Newstime one.

Ordered the first LEGION Five Years Later omni since DC decided to cap it off with V2. IST actually had it to me within a week of ordering! I'm blown away. Are they finally getting back to their pre-Covid ways? The last order I made sat for a month before it was even packed.

I'm super excited for the Silver Age Batman Omnibus line starting.

Maybe my grandchildren will be able to buy it?

Of course by then a 300 page tpb will go for about $459.99, so hopefully I can leave them something in my will...

Cash is king, my friend. And it's much more cost effective for them to just re-package the same material in similar formats over and over than it is to reprint previously uncollected material...

Oh, it's total first world problems. I got burned on the SuperSons as well but was able to sell it for about what I paid. DC just needs to get it together - at least Marvel doesn't cannibalize its collections for at least a good 5+ years(looking at you Xmen)

So goes our hobby, I guess

This was really starting to bug me too, but I gave up being annoyed when I realized the quality on these remapped new printings was so poor. All of my X-Men books are first printing OHC's, pre-omni branding. They're of great quality, and look good as new after multiple readings.

Oh, mine are too! I think the only one that was worth upgrading to was the Inferno one? Or maybe FotM? I forget which had expanded issue collection.



Different note - Sweet Tooth The Return has a tpb coming out/already out. Any word on a ohc to match the original deluxes?

The Inferno omni just smashed together the original Inferno OHC and the Inferno Crossovers OHC, both of which I already had. I already saw a used copy of the mew omni at my LCS, and like I said, it's reprinted on flimsy tissue paper, bound tight, and has one of those cheap matte black covers. I love the faux leather with foil embossing on the originals.

The upcoming Fall of the Mutants omni is literally the OHC with the new branding - contents are identical. Although I suspect it will be noticeably thinner given the new paper stock...

[HandofPrometheus]

Seems like another boring month. DC really needs a new collection team or something.

I'm super excited for the Silver Age Batman Omnibus line starting.

Does this mean that there will be one more golden volume? I wonder how many volumes make up the silver age then on to the bronze age.

I didn't succumb to the Planet Hulk Omnibus as I have the original faux leather OHC. There is a slight regret in that the Omnibus has those extra issues but I'm not an Hulk completist so I'll live

I definitely am not picking up the new expanded Captain Britain Omnibus as I have the original two OHCs and original Omnibus which also contains two Captain America issues which the new Omnibus doesn't.
