DC Hardcover Collected Editions Part 3

[Punjabi_Hitman]

They reprint many Absolutes and Omnibuses, but not all of them. DC is pretty good about reprinting most stuff. They just reprinted the Golden Age Superman Omnibus and an Absolute Hush reprint is coming. It seems like if they put out a new premium edition they don't reprint the different premium editions. So you're not going to find those Planetary Absolutes easily, but the Omnibus is still available.

Good to hear that they are better than Marvel at keeping things in print. Especially for us who are late to the party.

Any chances of an Absolute Blackest Night reprint?

Absolute Rebirth and Sinestro Corps War are still in print for now, as is Brightest Day. If DC thinks they're going to be able to keep selling those as Absolutes, there's always a chance they'll reprint Absolute Blackest Night. However, they've already moved on to three volumes of Johns' Green Lantern in Omnibus form, the second of which collects all of that Blackest Night material I believe. So with the Omnibuses coming out, I wouldn't say it's very likely that Absolute Blackest Night will go back in print. But we'll never know for certain. It's just an educated guess based on past publishing patterns.

Incidentally, I also have a GL question. I've got the first two omni's, loved the first one, haven't gotten around to reading the second and have the third on pre-order... My question is-- Do I need the third one? I'm trying to limit my purchases a bit this year and with my backlog, it'll be ages until I get to it anyway. Does the second one end in such a way that it'll feel complete without the third?

Well I have the same as you, the firtst two and am awaiting the third. The third is mainly brightest day tie ins(which brightest day is not included). The rest of the omni is new52 GL by johns. Id thikn youd as need the brightest day event to understand it. Then to better understand brightday you'd need jutice league generation lost. Not sure if the JL if requried reading but ill definitely be picking it up, its only two hcs.

so even if you have all 3 GL omnis it still isnt complete? wth lol those things are massive i assumed everything would be included

[Dark-Flux]

Its complete in the sense that its Green Lantern by Geoff Johns. Which is exactly what it says on the tin.

[Drz]

Are there any implicaitons that iZombie Omni and Absolute GA+GL is getting OOP? Some Amazon UK Sellers are having "few copies left" so i'm a bit worried.

Brightest Day is standalone and has no bearing on the main Green Lantern book; it's simply branding like Marvel's "Heroic Age" or "Dark Reign." Justice League Generation Lost has even less to do with anything else.

You don't need Brightest Day at all. It has nothing to do with GL, aside from what happens to the white Lantern, which is irrelevant to the GL books.

So yay or nay on Final Crisis. I was about to pull the trigger on the absolute to supplement my B&R Reborn/Batman Inc, but the abundance of negative reviews on Amazon (which is unusual, because according to amazon reviews you'd think everything was awesome) caused me to pause. TBH i'm done with Morrison's incoherent works, and i'm afraid this might fall into that category.

Maybe someone can correct me, but I heard that many copies of Absolute Final Crisis had pages falling out.
That's what stopped me from buying, but I'd be delighted to hear that I'm wrong.

[awayne83]

Yeah i've heard about the build issues, but have also heard enough that is was fine to role the dice if the story is worthy.

It's definitely on the crazier side of Morrissonia.

As other members already mentioned, Brightest Day has no bearing on the GL books. My biggest gripe with GL omnis is the lack of GLC episodes. Sure, the cover says 'GL by Geoff Johns', but I hoped\wished they would collect the whole story, and not focus on GL title alone. I found GLC episodes to be generally more fun than their GL counterpart.

The Corps issues that were included were great. It didn't seem like I lost out on any story by not having any more and the books have to be what they actually are after all. They should release a decent collection of that series though.
