The Greg Pak Superman stuff has been really good.

[pud333]

Yeah I agree. I think the Pak stuff is great.

[RedNave]

That's not saying much.

Much like that comment.

That's currently sitting in an ever growing to read pile.

Seems like the Graphitti designs gallery edition of Ronin will also have a variant cover, same binding, same price (and thanks to God no signed nor remarked version). I can't seem to be able to copy the direct link but you just have to click on the gallery edition section here to reach it http://www.graphittidesigns.com/
Now my question is, what version will I get if ordering through FP.co.uk website? ...

I was in London yesterday and I have put my hand on the Marshal Law omnibus in tpb form (issued earlier this month). Now I have the Fear & Loathing story in 12 different editions.

Much like that comment.

I'm gonna budget $300 to blow off on graphic novels for my birthday. I already know I'm gonna buy the Marvel Star Wars omnibus. I want the rest of the books to be DC omnibus or absolute editions. So far I have in my collection:

Absolute Crisis on Infinite Earths
Absolute Identity Crisis
Infinite Crisis Omnibus
52 Omnibus
Absolute Final Crisis
Absolute Kingdom Come
Absolute Batman The Long Halloween
Absolute Batman Dark Victory
Death and Return of Superman Omnibus

I'll take any suggestions as long as it's limited to three DC omniboo or absolutes.

Geoff Johns Green Lantern interest you at all? There are two Omnibus available to preorder covering up to Blackest Night.

Otherwise Absolute Dark Knight, Absolute Justice, Absolute All Star Superman, Planetary Omnibus, Absolute Watchmen all seem up your alley.

Alright then, photo and review time:



A quite hefty tome. At 248 pages, it has over 50 pages more than the biggest IDW AE and over 100 more than the regular AEs, which usually clock in at 144 pages.

[LordJulius]

Quite a few of the covers have a vellum overlay, reproducing the actual production process (those of you that know the Mazzucchelli Daredevil AE have seen this before). The example below (cover of Batman 521) even has two overlays:







The book reproduces complete issues (see table of contents), so that one can read the stories as well. However, this comes at a price: since some of the original artwork could not be located, about 50 pages are scans from the color guides and the production stats:
