Just finished reading the Worlds Collide Sonic/Mega Man crossover. It wasn't perfect, but it was definitely a lot of fun! And as a bonus, the solicitation at the end of the book actually managed to inform me that apparently we're actually getting a follow-up trade on the Sonic side, and it's listed as volume 1! So it looks like there's going to finally be a more up to date line of Sonic trades than the Saga stuff, so hurray! That's something I've really wanted to happen, and I was saying post crossover made sense once I learned that it changed the continuity, so this is super good news for me!

Seriously. I fucking love Bertram's style. But, in a world where people shit on Ron Wimberly, I just don't know how the dude could get a full time big two job.
You guys will have to show a more interesting example of something drawn by him than those two panels with Batman, Damian and Alfred from the last few pages of the thread if you want to pimp his art

I'm reconsidering my stance on Multiversity. I'm still not sure I am totally on board for Morrison-crazy, but some of these teases look genuinely fun.
Might get Y.

Holy shit. All of Y in one book? I'm very tempted, but I don't really want some Invisibles-Omnibus-like abomination on my shelf. I'll see how it looks, first.
Oh wow. I just finished Six Gun Gorilla. That was some Grant Morrison-type mind-bending. I need a little more time to digest that. Haha
I do know this: I thoroughly enjoyed it and it was quite a wild ride. And the whole story was incredibly unique.
Huh. Am I alone in thinking that Y:TLM is an odd choice for an Absolute Edition?
It's been a while since I read it, but I don't remember the art in Y ever being too impressive. It was fully competent, but it never actually impressed me.
Regardless, it's popular, so I'm sure the Absolutes will sell.
So great.
I very much doubt it'll be all of Y in one book. It'll probably be either the same size as the deluxe editions or, at the very maximum, the size of two of the deluxes.

If they limited Absolute Editions to books with noteworthy art, there would only be about a dozen of them.
i'm happy with my Deluxe Y the Last Man hardcovers and i'd rather get a transmet omnibus...i don't like multivolume Absolutes, too much money. Looking forward to Absolute Batman Inc as my only purchase for the format in the future.
maybe they mean massively oversized as in the dimensions, and not thickness. I don't think DC has ever done an Absolute as large as they'd need to for this in one volume. 20 issues max max max.

I feel like generally the Absolutes are picked for books where the art is at least part of the reason the book is well-liked. But yeah, you're right, there are a handful of books that have gotten Absolute editions only for the popularity of the writing, even though they have very mediocre art.
Like sillymonkey said, the "massively oversized" is 99% likely referring to the fact that Absolute editions have bigger pages rather than a bigger page count.

I'll pass, then. How many absolute editions would Y require? 2? 3?
I'll keep my deluxe hardcovers.

I need these both, I know it. Though I already have some trades for Trans. Gotta have it all!
they've done 3 volumes of Promethea, 2 of Planetary which each one was way too small, and 5 of Sandman. They could go either way, DC is fine with 12 issue Absolutes.

Can't wait for Multiversity, I know I'm gonna love it. That article on CBR about the panel was great.

I've read like half of my comics for the week and I'll say my top 3 already
1. Batman 33
2. Batman and Robin 33
3 tied between Batman 33, and Batman and Robin 33.
In all seriousness Tomasi and Synder are just killing it for me. I think Snyder and Capullo's run are going to easily become definitive runs that people talk about, with Zero Year being one of those must read Batman arcs. I feel like everything Tomasi has been doing makes a nice companion piece to that.
I know none of that is controversial or even interesting, and that it's been said by others already this week. I just had to express my agreement with it. It feels like a damn good time to be a Batman fan.
Finished the SP on Injustice and played around with some of the other characters. I think I'm going to be all about Deathstroke, Green Arrow, and Zatanna. I really wanted to be all about Batgirl, but her regular combos and moves just aren't gelling with me.
Can we do a big like room tournament type thing with Injustice?

Can you honestly imagine an Absolute version of that splash last page where he's eating at that run down shithole, feet curled under the chair?
It's the single most evocative page in comics history. I feel like if they released it as an Absolute Edition, any store carrying it would instantly explode the second it hit the shelves.

Wasn't Promethea supposed to have an omnibus that then disappeared into oblivion?
I wonder how he pronounces gif?

I never lie.
i forgot about it since i bought the Absolutes awhile ago, it was supposed to have some nifty longer than normal length-wise book with big page spreads....don't know what happened to it. Some say it lives in the marsh and feeds on baby alligators at night.
Man. I almost forgot how incredible Scalped was.
So when do I get the script? I gotta at least get the character designs down.
I'm only 'good' with Green Arrow.
