DC Hardcover Collected Editions Part 3

[TheTemp]

WTF! We've seen a lot of stupid things and changes form DC in the last years, but this beats everything I can even think of. I just can't believe it!

To be fair, I believe Volume 1 came out before they started doing the Darwyn Cooke cover styles for Golden and Silver Age Omniboo. So while yea, it is odd right now, I suspect Volume 1 may get a reprint someday with a cover to match those.

Ah. Well they're standard trim, not oversized, and the build appears solid. I've only bought the Superman and Green Lantern volumes, but I'm happy with them.

Gotcha, thanks man

Yes, of course Vol. 1 came out before, but in my eyes this is not an excuse for messing up now. Also, it is no comfort for me, that there will possibly be a reprint someday, now that I have the first printing already.

Personally, I think there would have been lots of options:
1. Since there have already been some silver age Omnibuses, just use the new design for the golden age.
2. Give us matching covers for Green Lantern silver age 1+2, Flash 1 and JLA 1.
3. Stick to the old cover, wherever old books are already out.

Of course the best option would have been to think a few years ahead, when they introduced the new Omnibus line in 2010: Should we do uniform covers or different covers, etc.
In my opinion, they did the most unlogic thing: changing the style midway.

Gorgeous. Sure, the covers don't match but I sorta count my stars that the books exist in the first place.

Not sure if this has been noticed or brought up before, but according to an Amazon listing Starman Omnibus Vol 4 paperback is being released in December. If you search for Starman Omnibus it'll show up. Feels like a mistake to me, though. I believe they never published vol 3 in softcover, and it hasn't been listed yet as coming soon. Feels strange that they would skip that and jump to 4. But fingers crossed for everyone that was never able to get the HC vol 4 for a decent price.

That's a leftover from when DC were planning to continue the paperback editions earlier this year, but ended up cancelling those plans. Vol 3 was solicited to comics shops and listed on Amazon, etc, but the orders were cancelled shortly before it would have gone to print.

Peter Gross posted on Twitter what I think is the cover for the first Unwritten Deluxe HC.

It hasn't been formally solicited through Diamond yet, but there's provisional information here.

Anyone read Northlanders? That trade looks hard to pass up with so many issues.

[missingmarch]

I really enjoyed it.

Pretty decent selection Ollies death in GA 100-101 is included like I'd hoped, first reprinting that I'm aware of. Only thing I'd of liked is maybe some Conner representation JLA #8 were he rescues the Justice League from The Key using some of Ollies old trick arrows would of been perfect
