DC Hardcover Collected Editions Part 3

[Twice-named]

Brightest Day 2022 edition has a printing error. Issue # 6 is a low quality scan and the artwork is printed low res and is blurry. The actual word bubbles are nice and crisp but the art is blurry in that single issue. I don’t even know how to contact DC about the issue.

I’d send an email to Rich Johnston at Bleeding Cool. He’ll probably do an article and then DC will know if they don’t already.

Awesome, I sent him a message.

It’s a shame. Was really looking forward to this one. They even went through the effort of updating the cover under the dust jacket (which they didn’t do for Gotham Central or 52 this year), so it’s surprising they missed this.

Odds are DC already knows. Once upon a time, they'd have reprinted and replaced the defective copies, no questions asked... (those days are over).

I wish DC would finish publishing the collections they abandoned:

Jim Balent’s Catwoman
Peter David’s Supergirl
Chuck Dixon’s Birds of Prey
Tim Drake Robin
Cassandra Cain Batgirl
Kyle Rayner Green Lantern
Legion of Super-Heroes/Legionnaires (Zero Hour reboot)
Shadow of the Bat
Superman Blue
Karl Kesel’s Superboy
Azrael
Gotham Knights

I’m glad I could finish reading these series through DC Universe Infinite but I love these series and would like hard copies.

I’d also like DC to collect Chuck Dixon’s post-Troika/pre-Contagion Detective Comics run and reprint Batman: Second Chances and Doug Moench & Kelley Jones Volume 1. Then I’d finally own print copies of post-Crisis Batman and Detective Comics from 1986-1999 (not a fan of most post-Y2K Batman books although I do love Gotham Knights, Robin, Nightwing, Birds of Prey, Cass Batgirl and Steph Batgirl. I stopped reading all but two DC books when they did the New 52, and now I read none).

Sorry for posting in the wrong thread. I realize now this is for hardcovers and I posted about trade paperbacks. I stumbled upon this thread by googling “dc collected editions”.

There's not a separate thread for softcover vs hardcover. Anything related to DC collected editions is relevant here.

Thanks for the clarification!

Ahh yes, Aquaman by Peter David! I have the first two volumes but forgot to include them.

Poor John Ostrander, huh? At least his brief run on Catwoman is available in the No Man’s Land collections.

you and me both brother, I got my Birds of Prey, Catwoman, Supergirl, Nightwing, Robin, and Supergirl sitting on my shelf unfinished - makes me so mad.

It makes me mad, too. Especially when I see what Marvel feels confident putting out. Can't get Batman-adjacent titles while Marvel is putting out X-Men 2099 in omnibus format. C'mon!

[Adset]

No one: can we get a bunch of random books put together published in the month of March 1962? Maybe slap an expensive hardcover on it?

Marvel: We’ll give you three!

Many people: hey can you finish Aquaman?

DC: No. Quit asking.

LMAO, exactly!

I know Birds of Prey are releasing the Simone run, but WTF DC finish the Dixon runs from all of these amazing titles first!

A Modest Proposal:

DC can license their collections department out to Marvel. But only for a four year period. Marvel can do an accelerated release schedule similar to what they did with Conan (another licensed book). We could get the entire Post Crisis Superman from the Byrne Man of Steel to the end of the Triangle Era in 10 volumes. It's win/win/win for DC/Marvel/Omni fans.
