DC Hardcover Collected Editions Part 3

[Vilynne]

Thank you sir!



Ha, thanks (I think!) There's not really any difference designing dust jackets versus art-on-cover except dust jackets have flaps.

Yeah it looks tidy and nice. I love looking at all those custom bounds. Saw your eBay posts. Boy it's hard not to just throw money

Hey guys! I see The Flash Silver Age Omnibus vol 2 is out on IST.
$49.99 this week.

I'll definitely be putting in an order.

I actually made a new dust jacket for JLA vol 1 in the style of the other omnis:

That's just beautiful!

Slightly on topic, the contents of Green Lantern Silver Age Omnibus, Showcase 22-24 and GL 1-35 or Showcase 22-24 GL 1-45?

[Cerd the nerd]

Aren't they reprinting the Omni for This? Or.did I just dream that?

I don't think the Omnibus has had a reprint recently...

They're releasing an Absolute soon but that won't have all the tie ins...

Amazingly, the Infinite Crisis Omnibus DOES NOT HAVE a contents page (thank you DC!).

However, these are the contents in the reading order that they are presented:

COUNTDOWN TO INFINITE CRISIS Chapters 1-5

THE OMAC PROJECT Parts 1-3

SACRIFICE Parts 1-4

THE OMAC PROJECT Parts 4-6

VILLAINS UNITED Parts 1-6

LIGHTNING STRIKES TWICE Part 1-3

DAY OF VENGEANCE Parts 1-6

RANN-THANAGAR WAR Parts 1-6

INFINITE CRISIS Part 4

RANN-THANAGAR WAR Hands Of Fate

That's what I must have been thinking of!

Jesus I forgot how much preceded Infinite Crisis. Iirc, most of it was pretty sub par. When it was bad, it was bad, and when it was good, it was really good. A few were just okay, but I didn't really care too much, honestly.

the Absolute was released a few weeks ago.

[ER Prest]

I kinda wish we had an Infinite Crisis/52 Aftermath Omnibus

What about a One Year Later Omni?

What about a One Year Later Omni?

I suppose they would be one in the same really, but I'd be down for something with The Spectre, The Battle for Blüdhaven, Secret Six mini, The Black Adam mini, Crime Bible mini, etc.

Dunno how well it would really work though

It would be an odd collection for sure. Can't remember if all the material was ever collected.

I just read the trade to see if the Absolute is worth it. I could follow the overall story but was left alone for the most part. What are the substories, how did they end up there, what is the green guy doing there, a giant stone over gotham explodes, natural desasters, why, what, ....what? If they wanted this Absolute to work they should have made this a bigger edition or at least put out a Countdown to Infinite Crisis Absolute (or two of them, which I would buy)! This is way to scattershot for the mildly invested in DC history. As it is: unreadable.

I think that's kind of the point. New readers read big events which forces them to buy and read more and more to wholey understand the situation.

Or... like in this case...its bad advertisment. If they are unable to put a whole self-explanatory story in a standalone book (no part 1 or 2 or final chapter on the label and book cover, no abstracts to make you up to speed of what is shown) why should I even consider the rest. From the looks of it they are unable to transport something which makes sense. If a film in cinema shows you this, why bother for the rest of the series? It really perplexes me why they even considered to bring this out as an Absolute edition and dont give you the rest or some help to read and like the story. Really: bad advertisment!

New readers who don't know anything about the story are not the target market for $100+ Absolute editions

Says who? Most, if not every other Absolute is absolutely readable. Hush, Dark Knight, New Frontier, Promethea 1-3, Ronin, Watchmen, LOEG etc...
