DC Hardcover Collected Editions Part 3

[Johnatellodi]

A sampling of the consensus on the board:





I'm sure you can find it online for a nice discount, so it you're hesitant to drop $50 that might be the best way to go.

Appreciate that! Saved me some money.

I'm hoping the new editions sell well enough to get DC to reconsider finishing Dixon's original run...

This. No disrespect to Simone's run - super happy it's being recollected and almost complete! But I'd love for the gap between Dixon's and hers to fill. They could probably do it in 2 trades?

Deathstroke Rebirth Omnibus is out now. I decided to take a gamble and order a copy from Amazon, just because the price was so good.

They would need 2 more trades to complete Dixon's run, and then 1 more to close the gap between him and Simone. There weren't many issues there, maybe 10-12 tops? Post-Simone, there were 18 issues that comprised Bedard and McKeever's respective runs; 2 smaller trades or 1 fat one would complete the series. So we'd be looking at 5 books (possibly 6) to see the entirety of the original BoP collected.

However I don't expect anyone at DC to take the 4 minutes it took me to figure that out, as they're clearly very busy... :-/

Was it cheaper than $140? Hopefully you didnt buy the New 52 one instead, that one is $57. Deathstroke by Christopher Priest Omnibus (Deathstroke Omnibus) https://www.amazon.com/dp/1779512600...1H5MTWX4S1A3WS

Oh yeah, I didn't pay in dollars but converted it was roughly 80 dollars.

I finally bought a copy of this last week. I have been looking through it now for a week or 10 days. This is hands-down one of my favorite Omnibus collections.

Besides being able to re-read all the stories in one volume this has the most and best added features of any on the bus I’ve purchased, and I have several at this point.

I always enjoy behind the scenes material. And this one was packed with it.

THANKS, DC!

A quick search at mycomicshop.com shows the last two collections ("Melody" and "Aftermaths") as only being available in hardcover.

DC really screwed up while they had the Astro City license. No idea why they sat on the classic material for so long, and released it in such a haphazard way.

We got a bunch of scattered collections - some HC, some TPB, some both - and now it's all out of print.

Tell me about it
I bought the paperbacks back in the day because I couldn't afford the hardcovers back then.
Then, when the Vertigo HCs started to come out, I usually waited until the paperback versions were released so my set would match.
And now, apparently the last three or two volumes are hardcover only as you mention.

Sometimes it sucks to have this type of pet peeves. Especially with quality material like this.

Well with the entirety of Astro City coming to digital soon, we can only hope that we'll see comprehensive physical collections sooner than later.

Perhaps Mr. Kurt Busiek could weigh in on the likelihood of that...?

Isn't Astro City also switching to Image?

Yep. The catalog recently landed there, but so far all that's been announced is digital availability.

All the collections are available via Comixology as we speak.

We'll be making some more exciting announcements very soon.

This arrived today, and it's a big boy. Perfect Condition as well. Really looking forward to diving into this.

Was the Priest Deathstroke omnibus delayed on IST?
