DC Hardcover Collected Editions Part 3

[TomSlick]

If it gets made maybe there will be an omnibus in the future!

I don't know. The trades never really sold that well when they re-released them and there's plenty of DC tv shows that aren't getting omnibus treatment. Heck, how about a Grell or Dixon Green Arrow?

But, don't get me wrong, I'd be first in line

Hitman in discussions for the DC Direct TV pay channel. At least this isn't in discussion for the CWverse. If anyone gets a tv show over there next it should be Constantine.
It's tough not to look at Hitman and say the discussions went like this:
Exec 1"What characters for the DC Pay network will be after Titan, thoughts people?"
Exec 2"Given how Punisher was received on Netflix I propose Hitman"
Exec 3"How about Blue Beetle? Lots of lore, can touch on 3 main generations and using Jaime as the main Beetle gives us stories to tell from a millennials and Dreamers viewpoint"
Exec 1"Hitman it is, thanks everyone"

[My Two Cents]

So, is any of Aquaman Rebirth available in HC, or will it be?

I have not seen one solicited yet.
I think there is a lot of money being left on the proverbial cutting floor when it comes to D C and there
not releasing more books from rebirth and even new 52 in deluxe HC trades.

just like Omega men....oh wait...
Seems like DC is aiming for anniversary dlx hc releases with these type of series. I can't really think of many that got an earlier oversized release, maybe Morrison's Bat stuff but but that was ages ago.

Speaking of Omega Men...ive only read the first 3 issues of MM, but I get the same feeling I did from Omega Men. It doesn't feel like anything special, but everyone is making the biggest deal about it. It honestly isn't that great. And when they spend 3 pages showing ...someone dying, for example (trying to keep it spoiler free), it really takes it out for me.

What does this thread think of the JSA Omnibus set 1-3? I was thinking of picking them up but you seem the most informed about this stuff.

good old fashioned superhero stories told (mostly) in a modern style (bit more violence as well, just like every Johns series). Does a good job bringing u up to speed with continuity. If you are looking for a fun superhero ride where the fate of the world or even the space time continuum is at stake, it's a damn fine series.

It's not that great. LOL. King is overrated. There I said it. The emperor has no clothes.

only read his Batman Rebirth so far, it was just okay. Didn't care for his style. Really looking forward to read the Vision ohc that's coming out.

I'll second this. Plus it reads really quick.

It's tough not to look at Hitman and say the discussions went like this:

Hitman & Constantine have a little something in common..Garth Ennis. I think most any major Ennis work is worthy of adaptation. Ennis is one the topmost best comic writers to grace the medium. For me, he is Moore, Miller, Morrison, etc level.

I agree 100 percent about his comics - except the adaptations so far haven't been so hot.

Preacher TV is awful. If it wasn't called Preacher, then maybe it would be OK. The actors are great. Don't get me wrong, but no way in hell is that whiny girl Tulip, nor is that dickhead Jesse. They got Cass right.

The Hellblazer movie was heavily based on Garth's work and that was horrible, too.

Of course, the Moore adaptations haven't been great either.....Oh well.
