DC Hardcover Collected Editions Part 3

[AJpyro]

Well the HC for johns AQM vol 1 is OOP and is quite overpriced on ebay and amazon....so id wait for the omni unless you can get a good deal on vol 1

Hm...I guess I'll just go for Tpbs. They've never failed me yet.

I've got it and read it. Don't pick it up as a blind buy. If you have read or are reading the Futures End series then sure, pick it up but it has no coherent plot of its own it just pure world building for the Futures End story.

what else would i need to buy to understand it? i thought the omnibus collected all of the futures end stuff?

It's the Futures End specials for each series.

Not bad in 18 months. I guess you mentioned Swamp Thing by Snyder. If you like ST you HAVE to read Moore's run.

Good luck with Starman, I was planning to get the series, but vol.3 costs around 100 quid in second market.

So you will be pleased to hear that Starman vol. 3 is (finally) getting a TPB reprint in July 2016.

might be worth me selling the series then, it was good but not £100 for vol 3 good

the whole series went for like £180-190 last week on ebay but somebody put up a set for £120 (still cursing myself not jumping on it) I don't think the actual selling price for vol3 is £100.

With apologies in advance for being a downer, we're assuming it doesn't get cancelled again before publication.

Just mentioned this in the good deals thread but I would like some advice here as well since this is the official topic:
How are the stories in the Golden Age DC omnis and in the Neal Adams Batman omni?
The art is not my cuppa in either of them but if the stories are fun I'm interested. I'm reading adventure strips from around that time period and liking them but based on what I've seen so far the GA DC books are not up to standard with those. What's up with the stories in the Adams book? Silver age crazyness and dense writing?

[ddak]

What would you recommend me to get : an Absolute All Star Superman (haven't read) or Absolute Batman Hush or Absolute Batman Dark Victory?

I already have an absolute edition of the long halloween, court of owls and dark knight. I've hear nice stories about all star superman, but I'm more Batman fan so perhaps Hush or Dark Victory is better option?

What is the better buy?

Thanks

I think anyone would enjoy GA Superman there's a reason he was so popular. Batman by Neal Adams...it makes me so mad they let him mess up the art. I know this is a me problem, but as much as I love his real work I just can't buy this redrawn stuff

Story-wise I'd personally rank them: ASS, Hush and DV but I think most people here would switch Hush and DV. Art-wose (again, very personal) I'd rank them Hush, DV and ASS but DV and ASS are very close. So it depends on what you're looking for. If you're looking for an emotional epic starring Supes then you need ASS in your life, if you're looking for a not very tightly plotted mystery story with great art and action get Hush and if you're a big Long Halloween fan, get DV.
