The big Johns Wally West Flash TPBs were originally hardcovers as well.

The first Batman Inc and the new Batman and Son collections were also deluxe hc's before getting tpb releases.

The new Flash collections seemed to me just part of DC's recent trend of big trade paperback collections of older material that just happened to match the page count of the first Flash omnibus, rather than actually being a paperback version of the Flash omnibus vol. 1. And Batman Inc and Batman and Son, yes, but those are fairly small and were not collected in trade form, so it made sense. With GA Lemire, they're already collected in trades, so it seems very unlikely that they would do a paperback version of the deluxe edition anytime soon.

I was originally meaning bigger collected versions more like Swamp Thing by Scott Snyder Deluxe, New Frontier Deluxe, Solo Deluxe, Batman Year 100 And Other Tales Deluxe, Crisis on Infinite Earths Deluxe, etc.

But, yeah, you're right. It's not as infeasible as I had originally said.

Also, the Preacher Deluxe HCs were made into TPBs. As were the Y The Last Man Deluxe books.

And Punk Rock Jesus started in tpb and then went to HC (and got worse in the process).

I know New Frontier is already solicited for having a tpb version of the deluxe edition, and I would be surprised if Crisis, Swamp Thing, and Green Arrow don't get paperbacks as well as they are evergreen titles that will sell forever in bookstores.

Batman and Son actually did have a prior release, the deluxe edition combined the old Batman and Son and Batman The Black Glove trades into one volume.

DC often combines the 2 of the smaller 100ish page TPBs into an OHC, then puts the same amount of pages as the OHC into a TPB. If/when is still a question, but it's possible.

Really? I haven't heard anything about that. Do you have a link?

It was in the same listing with Teen Titans Earth 1 volume 2 and the rest of the trade releases for spring/summer.

Wow, I've looked through that list before and somehow missed that. Thanks for the info. That does bode well for the others, then.

 

[BKatastrophe]

Anyone reading Uncanny X-Men and X-Force? Are they worth the investment?

Are you talking about Bendis' Uncanny and Spurrier's X-Force? Because I really liked Bendis' Uncanny, though you'll find that since it's Bendis, it has a habit of being very hit or miss around here.

Spurrier's X-Force is godlike and should be read by all.

Obi-Wan & Anakin #1 was good. Soule's nailed the dialogue again and Checchetto's art is still a great fit for Star Wars. Intrigued to see where it goes. Anakin wanting to leave the Jedi Order was unexpected.

whenever i see an Olivia gif i just assume Messi is with us.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Spread comes back next week.

I is excited!

 

[MG310]

It arrived today Fantastic paintjob too...just al ittle scuff on the nameplate is the only thing I noticed.

I don't see the new frontier and y the last man hc going out of print

 

[Freezasaurus]

HELLO FRIENDS!

Is that the original or the repaint? Looks good, but I'm not a big fan of DC's new practice of giving you two statues for twice the price. I mean, I like the Power Girl Bombshell quite a bit, but fuck Superman.

I loved TT Earth One, can't wait for the new volume.

Messi is always with us.

It's possible. I'm kind of miffed I missed out in the JLA ones. :/

 

[gabbo]

Thanks for the input. I'll save myself the time and just grab the GA hardcover when I'm out next.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Cant wait to get the second Batwoman Trade tomorrow. AndI get a Revell X-Wing.

Original, I don't think the classic colored one is out for a few months.

Your better jump on it then.

But inside trader comics or w.e that store is called should have them in stock even when they switch over

How could the dialogue possibly be worse than the prequels, is my question. My girl and I loved TFA so much that we decided to watch all the episodes in sequence. So far we've watched Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones. What garbage. PM was flat as shit. Half the movie focuses entirely on trying to aquire ship parts? Really? Attack was better, I guess, but Anakin is fucking unbearable! The only thing that saves these two tragedies is the Yoda lightsaber fight. That was boss.

I want a comic in which Jar Jar and Anakin engage in a no holds barred, hand to hand, to the death cage match.

Sorry. Had to get that out. Soon we'll be rewarded with the original trilogy.. Soon..

Every day, I am saddened by how much the mainstream hates Superman

Everyday I'm saddened that Superman isn't Superman anymore. I like old school, good guy, no grit Supes.

Just got caught up on Hex11. I would definitely recommend it to those of you into girly hijinks. There is plenty of humor and action to be had. I also just donated to their kickstarter to a Vol 1 trade.

Digital version of #1 is free on their web store.

Nice, that is how you pimp a book.

Entertainment Earth

I ordered one from them when they had it listed for $125 or something, but they wouldn't honor it so I cancelled.

I got the Sandman boxed set for Christmas and I just started reading it. Man, those older Vertigo titles are so delightfully fucked up. I didn't know much about Sandman going in, but it appears to be very much like Alan Moore's Swamp Thing so far. I'm really enjoying it.

 

[Owzers]

now that Messi's gone can we talk about how girly hijinx was a mistake?

 

[Rhaknar]

was Messi banned?

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

was Messi banned?

No, Messi just "quit" comics.

 

[VanWinkle]

I never wanted to admit it until now

 

[PsychBat!]

No, Messi just "quit" comics.

That's the Circle of Life in here.

now that Messi's gone can we talk about how girly hijinx was a mistake?

Sure.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Only Harley was a mistake.

was Messi banned?

Yes, he posted to much Sunstone porn

 

[Rhaknar]

im going to need visual proof of that

for science of course. just...just for science

edit: was he really banned tho?

 

[Owzers]

Only Harley was a mistake.


Yes, he posted to much Sunstone porn

Fairly redundant, could just say Sunstone.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

I think I fill his gap good. Tomorrlw I will read some Harley and hate on Nocenti.


Next step will be when I start Messi Incorporated.

 

[PsychBat!]

edit: was he really banned tho?

Nah

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Only Harley was a mistake.

Harley is the like the least mistakey thing in all of girly hijinxdom.

Just received my Deluxe Editions of Fables for 7,8,9. Plowed through em already and loved em.

Should I go ahead and order 10,11? Or is the Mister Dark story arc that awful? 9 kind of gets into the beginning of it.

Spoiler

The way Boy Blue went out had me

 

[TetraxShards]

LEWD.

 

[whatsinaname]

Spoiler

For sure. ;(

I stopped after 9 too, too much of a backlog to even attempt to finish the second half of the run anytime soon.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Gameproff, you're not Messi, not even honorary/substitute Messi, without an appropriate avatar.

 

[TetraxShards]

I'm so glad I main digital. I would go broke with these covers.

 

[shingi70]

I'm getting caught on my dc books I missed while trying marvel now for the past few months? I'm about to jump into the superman books. which should I tackle first Superman or Action Comics?
