DC Hardcover Collected Editions Part 3

[Master Destructo]

As some predicted, the New Teen Titans Vol. 1 reprint is solicited as $75, not $150. Thank god.

As some predicted, the New Teen Titans Vol. 1 reprint is solicited as $75, not $150. Thank god.

DC's trade department still strikes again though. It looks like they just copied the solicit for the first edition, even though the content changed before printing. #17 to 20, a story from Best of DC #18, and the Tales of the Teen Titans mini were added after reader complaints about the initial meager offering. The page counts seems right though, so that's something.

[Vilynne]

Don't understand why its called JLA: Road to Rebirth. Excited for Johns' Hawkman, although I wish they finished his Flash run. Excited for the Young Animal trades as well. Everything else was meh. Waiting for that WW Rebirth in HC...seriously, what an insult to the character.

[TomSlick]

I forgot all about LoSH! That's definitely coming down the pike for Rebirth, right? That would be so awesome. I secretly hate you now for that idea. I want it so bad now.

Ha ha I just pulled that idea out of the air. Is it an actual thing?

Who's picking up the GL Omnibus tomorrow?

I probably will be, never did pick up the original release(s)

I just ordered it from IST. I almost bought the original release a few days before this newer version was announced. Sometimes procrastination pays off.

SUPERBOY AND THE LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES VOL. 1 HC (SUPERBOY AND THE LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES #234-240 and ALL-NEW COLLECTORS’ EDITION #C-55)
Why do they start off this collection halfway through the run? Wouldn't it have made more sense to start off this bronze age collection with Superboy #197?

[Pete Wisdom]

This is continuation of Legion of Super-Heroes Archives, not part of the Golden/Silver/Bronze Age collections.

[Raffi Ol D'Arcy]

Who's picking up the GL Omnibus tomorrow?

I probably will be, never did pick up the original release(s)

The Silver Age reprint? Not me, at least not yet, I have the old volumes and while I have no doubt that the paper and binding will be much improved in this new version the price and probable difficulty of offloading these old versions means I wont bother. Maybe if I see it drop to around £30 mark but I don't think I've seen the amazon preorder drop below £70.

I did see it at £58 but I wasn't buying at that price... I'll wait and see what the traders price is in a few weeks it I'm not holding out much hope for it dropping much, I'll buy it for £45 but not paying more than that.

I'm aiming to pick it up but will probably wait till it also goes for cheaper on the amazon.co.uk marketplace. I managed to recently offload the original 2 volumes for pretty cheap BUT managed to make a small but nice profit. I bought Vol. 1 at a glitch price of £10 a few years ago whereas Vol. 2 was purchased at a deep clearance price a year or so ago.

[Captain Craig]

Could we get one of those OP updated like the Marvel thread that lists upcoming Omnis throughout the year as the catalogs are released?

[TheTemp]

Alright.. Y The Last Man... means next time around we should see the solicit for the final Absolute Transmetropolitan!

[Ales]

This is continuation of Legion of Super-Heroes Archives, not part of the Golden/Silver/Bronze Age collections.

Yeah, I noticed that the LOSH Archives is ending with Superboy (and the Legion of Superheroes) #233. Thanks!

What are the chances of the upcoming Legion of Super Heroes The Silver Age Omnibus HC that's slated for mid-august to come out later in soft cover?

The original text for this in the Hatchette catalog and currently still on Amazon (UK) is

The Boy of Steel and the teenage superhero team of the future see their classic adventures collected in this new graphic novel series SUPERBOY AND THE LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES VOL. 1! When Clark Kent travels to the 30th century, he meets the greatest peacekeeping force in the galaxy: the Legion of Superheroes! In these classic tales from Cary Bates, new characters such as Timberwolf, Wildfire and Karate Kid are introduced into the teenage super hero squad! Now collected in an oversize hardcover edition, SUPERBOY AND THE LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES VOL. 1 is a must-have for any fan of this legendary series! Collects issues #234-245.

So they've dropped some issues and its is 99% definitly not an oversized hardcover this time around. Considering this picks up directly after the LoSH Archive editions ended I'm sure the fans who have all of those will be pleased about the shelf uniformity (maybe not about the drop in issue count though).

It also leaves me speculating that the House of Secrets hardcover will end up being normal sized as well which is a big shame.

Saves me a bit of cash though!
