800 for a single character from low. Fuck me.
it's a super solid jumping on point, imo
DC wants/needs that money.
EDIT:
Occupy Avengers sounds so good...

Also, it looks like Red Wolf will be the first member after Clint. I remember people being upset about him "disappearing" after his ongoing was canceled.
Man, that issue was so ugly. Morrison's Batman has had two of the ugliest comics I have ever seen (that and the Joker prose one).

Oh, god the Joker prose one. That seemed like it was 400 pages long.
I stopped reading Morrison's Batman after that.
Bill Sienkiewicz Harley Quinn #2 variant. He is doing the first year of Harley variants it seems and as much as I dig his art it is so tonally wrongful the book and so many other artists are more suited to it. This book is fun. He isn't a fun artist. He is a gritty and realistic artist.

Hardest issue EVER to get through. So ugly and non-stop similes and metaphors. Man that was a drag.

Still don't like him. He can do a good pinup/cover, but storytelling is garbage.
Yeah, I checked when the Batman #17 came out (April 2013)
And the Collection came in October 2013.
Wow.
That is quick for DC. They are quick with Batman. Add another 6 months on for the paperback.
WOW. Can't get over how much I'm loving this JRJR art in ASB. That colorist is just bringing out the absolute BEST in him.
Nah, it's very rare for it to be more than six months between the issue ending and the trade or hardcover (whichever comes first).

So basically if I start buying the Hardcovers, I can expect one book per year on Batman.

Pretty much. DC wants you to buy single issues. Look at how quickly image get trades out. Most of them release the month after the final issue of an arc.
DC doesn't sell single issues here in Portugal. I used to read Manga weekly (Thanks internet) and I learned to understand the impact of reading things in the volumes and arcs where things are supposed to fit. Flows better.

6 months between the Batman HCs is the norm. Vol 8 was out in March with 9 coming next month. It is a piss take admittedly.
More likely two. Although I think Rebirth might be going trade paperback only, going by solicits.
If this means they'll start doing OHCs on some of them every 12-15 issues like Marvel and Vertigo, that would be amazing. Doubt it, though.
You could go digital on Comixology like most of us. If you are set on trades then yes it will be 1 book a year on average.
Wasn't the biggest fan of the bright coloring in Snyder's Batman run in Zero Year, End Game and Gordonbot. Was it really pretty and amazingly well done? Yeah but did it fit what I like from Batman? Not really.
The dark coloring in Court of Owls and Death of a Family were much better.

Rebirth Green Arrow is coming out 31st January on Amazon so early Jan in comic stores. DC ain't changing shit about their slow release schedule. Arguably you will be further behind with rebirth.
Oh and All Star Batman is getting a hardcover release.
Two.
Batman (New 52 TPB; subtract some months for hardcover):
Vol 1: March 26, 2013
Vol 2: October 15, 2013
Vol 3: May 13, 2014
Vol 4: Oct 7, 2014
Vol 5: May 5, 2015
Vol 6: Oct 6, 2015
Vol 7: March 22, 2016
Vol 8: Sept 13, 2016
Yeah, they're going to continue being really behind the single issue releases. But we still get two volumes a year on average. And yeah, ASB is getting hardcover. That seems to be the only one.

Is that all star batbro a sequel to miller's stuff?
i dunno, man, that looks beyond terrific to me. Plus it's got a dog in a red tutu.

That's only for the first volume or so.
Are you in the US? I would suggest your library. If they have a comics section, they'll have N52 Batman.
What about other books? Is it different. Waiting for tpbs of DC books is nuts you end up 10 plus issues behind.

They seem to be trying with Rebirth though. only 4-5 months.
Fake Edit: Of wait, I see what you're saying. With the double shipping it would be 10 issues.
It's good art. It doesn't suit the tone of the book at all. It's like when DC put Rafael Albuquerque on Batgirl and he did a killing joke cover for hipster Batgirl.

ah i see. But... should variant covers have an obligation to match the tone of the book? They are, after all, variants.
For example, if we assume that they should, then skottie young should pretty much never be in variant duty (except for Squirrel Girl and Howard the Duck, i guess), and that'd be kind of a shame, since he's terrific at it.
9 months between Archie Vol 1 and 2. Vol 2 isn't out until the end of December lol.

I think they should try to match artists to the tone of a book yes. But that's a personal opinion. I think skottie is in his own category at this point. Plus when he does a variant he usually isn't the only variant.
It just seems random to have a gritty Harley variant on the stands all year vs the regular fun covers for a book that is trying to appeal to a wider younger audience (there are other problems with that but whatever...)
not unless they're about the killing joke
The controversy surrounding this cover was the worst.
Nope. Has nothing to do with it.

oh and Bill Sienkiewicz is many wonderful things. "Realistic" is definitely not one of them.
Gritty then. Do you think his art suits a book written by Jimmy and Amanda Conner?

Oh yeah. This book is good.
Is this the Gaiman/Ba/Moon?
If so WHEN IS IT HITTING COMIXOLOGY

History of comics is littered with covers with art that doesnt reflect the content inside them. Especially variant covers.

everything else is on there tho
That's EXACTLY what it is and man is it great.
Their game related licensed titles are even worse.
That's a no then?
