DC Hardcover Collected Editions Part 3

I'll keep an eye out, all the best Bob.

I'll keep an eye out, all the best Bob.

Considering that Batman is their biggest seller I'm pretty confident we will get a Golden Age Batman vol 10 to fill the gap between vol 9 and Silver Age vol 1

The reason they are jumping ahead is most likely due to the restoration of the remaining issues taking longer than planned so they decided to move onto the Silver Age where they have better originals that need less restoration work (similar to how Wonder Woman is jumping from Golden Age vol 5 to Silver Age vol 1)

Peter Gross has posted a pic of the second Books of Magic Omnibus. It's a big 'un!

Currently scheduled for the 11th of next month. Solicited to collect The Books of Magic #33-75, The Books of Magic Annual #1-3, The Books of Faerie #1-3, stories from Vertigo: Winter’s Edge #1-3, Hellblazer/The Books of Magic #1-2, and The Books of Faerie: Molly’s Story #1-4.

Uuuggghhh I want it!

If anyone else was paying attention, the first volume dropped to 50%+ off at most online outlets recently, but then promptly disappeared. Many sites are now out of stock.

That makes sense, thanks Rag.

I know some people like to gamble and see what dips below 45-50% after release week, but I'd rather just scoop up what I want when it releases instead of having that anxiety of a potential lower price vs going oos/oop and skyrocketing haha

[ER Prest]

Superman Red and and Blue is standard size, right?

Sheesh, 39.99 used to be OHC-size price.

[Brian]

Yeah, Red & Blue is regular, standard size. Previous standard HCs with that page count have had slightly lower cover prices, eg the first HC of Tynion's Batman was 264 pages for $34.99. Maybe the increase is to offset paper stock price increases.

Yeah, 99.9% of the time I pre-order everything, but I was so wishy-washy on Books of Magic. I'd decided to pass until I saw how cheap it got, then waited a week until payday only to see it had disappeared at most outlets.

[Comic Lore]

Books of Magic was such a great surprise for me. I never cared for the mini-series, but found the regular series a real gem. I would have loved to have bought 400 page trades or even digital on Comixology but they offer neither. I know DC is bad with this sort of thing, but hope Discovery is more giving with the trades of series like these.

DC tried a series of chunky trades for BoM back in 2017, but it was abandoned after the first volume. It might be a candidate for the Compendium format down the road though.
