DC Hardcover Collected Editions Part 3

[Orion]

I think the info everyone has been looking at for Vol. 4 has been incorrect. Amazon shows it collecting 36-41 when it actually collects 32-46. So if Vol. 5 does collect 47-60 and Heaven's Ladder, it will be fine.

except it doesn't collect the tower of babel epilogue and one other issue the old tpb's did.

And no word on a Gotham Central omnibus yet and that show is only a few months from actually airing and even shares the exact same name as the comic. I'm keeping my fingers crossed but DC usually takes the cross media opportunity to release tpbs rather then expensive hard covers.

Actually, it's just called Gotham.

Does DC have a strategy with the release of their collected editions similar to Marvel's? For instance, Marvel (loosely) releases omniboo with the premier of their movies. Or does DC just publish books because they feel like it?

There's a dartboard.

When the last Batman movie came out they released the cheap, chunky NML and Knightfall trades, I think those sell better than the hardcovers. If they want the people who watch the movies/tv shows to buy their books, they have to put out trades that offer most content for the lowest possible price.

DC seems to do Anniversary stuff quite well, but not much of a track record like Marvels of tying releases to movies, especially oversized books.

DC tends to target the mass-market with trade paperbacks, instead of the premium market with omnibuses, etc, when TV shows or films are being released. Green Lantern saw them push the Geoff Johns trades, Batman saw re-issues of Knightfall, Man of Steel gave us new paperbacks of For Tomorrow, Son of Kyrpton, and Earth One. Gotham will see a new trade collecting the Gordon of Gotham minis. There's the occasional exception (Batman Year One Deluxe in the same year as DK Rises), but for the most part, it's paperback editions they focus on, not big oversized hardcovers.

I'm really not sure what the pattern for Deluxe Editions or Omnibuses is. Vertigo seems to be operating on a 1-series-per-year (ish) principle with deluxe Editions, but beyond there I can't see any discernible pattern. Except for the focus on Johns and Morrison of course

2012 was the 25th anniversary of Year one, so I think that's why it was released in deluxe format that year, coincidentaly when TDKR came out.

I post this here because the latest discussion about speedyhen was here. Just checked speedyhen on Amazon UK marketplace (I've put some stuff to my basket) and they don't want to ship anything to Hungary.
Had anybody else outside the UK have the same problem?

Sometimes have that too. But they also sell through play.com and amazon.de

Hello:

Does anyone have an updated list of the contents of the new (corrected) edition of "Bruce Wayne: Fugitive?" I think the corrected edition was released in May. Anyone who bought it care to share how it turned out?

thanks

Do you mean "Bruce Wayne: Murderer?"?? That's the one that was released with some missing issues, and recently reprinted. The only additions were a couple issues of the Batman title. I'm not at home so I can't look at my copy to confirm exact issue numbers, sorry...

The only updates in BW-MURDERER are the 2 missing issues: Gotham Knights #29 and Detective Comics #768
If you look a few pages back on this thread you can find some opinions about the book.

In DC's defense, though, there haven't been that many movies released since the omnibus came about have there? Marvel has been spitting out at least one new movie a year (it seems) since Iron Man.
