DC Hardcover Collected Editions Part 3

[ripclaw]

Where did you find the image from did a quick google search and do not see anything about it outside of people wanting an omnibus. Looking forward to it and good sign Death Metal will also get an omnibus. I wonder if DC will ever do just an event omnibus Crisis on Infinite Earths, Zero Hour, Infinite Crisis, Final Crisis, Flashpoint, Rebirth Special, Metal, Death Metal, and the upcoming Dark Crisis.

It's also the cover of the Absolute edition, according to the listing on Cheap Graphic Novels.

DC's full book market catalogue for the rest of 2022 went up on Edelweiss on Friday, and includes the Metal Omnibus. It also included another new printing of Tomasi's Batman & Robin omnibus.

The specific contents of the Metal Omni aren't listed yet, other than to say it "contains the entire Dark Nights: Metal saga" and that "The main story and all tie-ins are collected in this edition". - https://www.edelweiss.plus/#sku=1779517033&page=1

Even at ~900 pages, we can probably expect that Dark Knights: Metal omni to run $125. Or $150 if they find a way to pad it to 1000 pages.

I know they have I am talking about putting the just the main books of each of the events in one omnibus.

[Destro777]

I really wish DC had some kind of plan for properly collecting Sgt Rock and Enemy Ace.
Books just forgotten in time.
Ive waited literally decades at this point - I guess its never happening.
Enough of the Batman already - sheesh.

The Showcase books released in the mid 2000s are:
one: impossible to find anymore
and two: printed on terrible newsprint which doesnt last and the ink bleeds when reading it.

[bob.schoonover]

I know they have I am talking about putting the just the main books of each of the events in one omnibus.

That could be interesting, but it'd either sprawl (including important tie-ins) or be really incoherent. Unless they did like in Batman by Grant Morrison and had an artist come in and make fill-in/recap pages to cover important events happening outside the main minis.

Somewhat related, but I don't think there was ever an OHC release of Convergence, was there? I have the COIE OHC, then the omnis for ZH, IC, FC, Flashpoint, and I'll get Metal. Would be nice to have Convergence for completeness sake ...

Now that the Young Justice complete collection is (unexpectedly) continuing, let me put out into the universe the desire to see Johns’ Green Lantern and JSA, the Zero Hour Legion, and the Kyle Rayner collections to similarly be raised from the dead. I know the list of abandoned ‘complete collection’ series is vast, but those four hit me hard.

Swap in Johns Teen Titans instead of GL, and I'm right there with ya!

If they'd release Kyle Rayner Vol. 3 as solicited, they could close the gap to Circle of Fire with another couple of chunky trades.

What are the odds this will include Batman Who Laughs?

[bob.schoonover]

What are the odds this will include Batman Who Laughs?

Very low, I'd think. That's more likely to appear in either (hypothetical) JL by Snyder or Batman by Snyder Compendium Omnis

Here are the books that DC is due to release next week, as per Lunar:

I saw the Sandman book in my local book shop earlier this week, so some shops already have it. It also has a direct market exclusive cover:

[SJNeal]

I'm still shocked that that New Gods series is actually going to be collected in full...

I'm still shocked that that New Gods series is actually going to be collected in full...

It's still 4 days away, so plenty of time for that to change

(Also, apologies to everyone for the MASSIVE sandman cover. Didn't realise it would display that big!
