    Yes down with regular hardcovers would love for all companies to just go deluxe for hardcovers. It is the way to go, but it may hurt sales on some books due to price.

    I agree though. I'm not a fan of having a small amount of issues as a DELUXE HC. I dont quite understand what makes this DELUXE anyway. The other DHC at least contain 12ish issues.

    It's still deluxe in the sense of larger page size which is still worth it to keep my hardcover collection uniform. Standard-size hardcovers are the worst. Some stories are only ~4 issues (e.g. Dark Knight Rises, Superman Secret Identity, etc.). Hell, we even have ~4-issue Absolute editions (e.g. Kingdom Come, Batman Year One).

    Yeesh. Talk about low content. I can see why they'd want to have those as absolute editions...But is it worth it?

    Slightly off topic question for you guys. I'm trying to fill the holes in my Superman family trades from post IC to Pre N52, and I can't seem to find where Adventure COmics 7 is collected. Anyone know? Thanks

    Deluxe is oversized art.

    How is that collection going along if I may ask? Any pictures?

    Oh man, I ran out of space like a year ago, so no pictures anytime soon. If everything goes well, I should be moving into a new house in about 6-12 months, and I'll have a dedicated study/office/library, so we'll see.

    But it's going, when I was at East Coast Comic Con the other week, I picked up a ton of trades, so I figured I'd start actively filling in holes in those Superman books, as well as the Green Lantern books since there are officially no more big books on my wishlist to buy(aside from a few OOP whales, but they don't really count)

    well technically it's just called DC Hardcover collected editions but originally (like eons ago) it was about omni and dlx discussion.
    I like the larger format even if it's only 4 issues, obviously the price has to reflect that. Actually after reading French/Belgian books where everything is oversized, even bigger than American deluxes regardless of page count it's kind of frustrating to go back to a standard size American trade.

    I wanted to do a complete collection of GL stories, but its either OoP, discounted stories, or never collected.

    I had bought a number of the GL/GLC books years ago when they were coming out, so I lucked out on that
