DC Hardcover Collected Editions Part 3

[Balakin]

Multiversity definitely. CoIE and Batman Year 100 is high on my list too.

[FlashingSabre]

I'll probably pick up Suicide Squad and Multiversity with the Wonder Woman Omni off IST.

Do you guys think the current Wonder Woman N52 HCs will eventually be released as an omnibus? I'm thinking of picking up the HCs (w/ the first two being hard to find), but might just wait if there will be an omnibus.

Surprised Multiversity is going straight to deluxe. DC never does that. I think that makes four deluxe books from DC I'll be getting. I much prefer Deluxe to the other formats so liking DC's new found love of deluxe editions.

^ They did it with Superman Unchained, too. And I hope they'll do it with the upcoming DKIII.

What's with these book/DVD combos all of a sudden?

If any WW run were to be given the Deluxe/Omni treatment, it would be the Azzarello one*. I think your patience will pay off.



*And the first part of Perez' run, of course.

Of the new batch, I'm really only interested in the Absolute Green Lantern/Green Arrow. Can anyone comment on the content?

Possibly also the Batman Year 100 Deluxe.

I suspect DC are experimenting and endeavouring to bring in new readers. I doubt the najority of us will be interested in them.

I get all the animated movies on bluray, they used to be brilliant, but since they started basing them on new 52 stories they quality really has gone down hill

I wonder if these books from the DVD/book combo's are oversized. If yes than I might get the Year One one.

or, since Timm left, because the Brainiac one wasn't based on a n52 book (in fact I quite like the original comicbook) and it still sucked.
Can't wait for the new Timm animated movie.

I think it's gonna be some kinda hardcover case which gonna include the disc and a paperback version of the book. I can't recall any hardcovers that tried to catch the eye of a mainstream audience (like the cheap Batman box set with Court of Owls, Hush and TDKR or the Snyder Batmans with the masks).

[Stargasm]

Hi Guys,

Is The Multiversity readable without any prior knowledge on the DCU?

I see on wikipedia/solicitations that the deluxe version contains a guidebook which explains the basic events on the different earths.

Thanks!

Yeah that does make sense. Found it a bit weird too.

No, it's not gonna be (much) readable without any prior knowledge on the DCU IMHO. That's not a knock on Grant at all, I love Grant, but no...his stuff does tend to work off of prior DCU stuff. And Grant tends to mine some obscure prior DC material too. And The Multiversity works from prior Morrison stories like Final Crisis, etc.

I just don't think Grant wrote it with very new readers in mind so much. But rather longer time readers. Not everything needs to be written for new readers.
