So far yes for DC stuff. Hoping it changes with the deluxes.

Time-traveling stuff is my jam
I read the first issue of the first trade of Ivar. Can they control where the time portals take them?

It's been a while since I read the first trade. I think Ivar has some control.
I need to track down the other two trades, my library still hasn't gotten them. -_-

They explain it more later, but I think they can. I'm having trouble remembering. The thing they can't control is when they open and how long they open for.
To bad. No reason to buy it then.

He hasn't read it yet. I was talking to him about it
The Button, just like the Rebirth one shot hardcover, will be oversized.
I would, because it's still better than trades, which also have tight bindings. I would be sad, though.
That being said, DC has been using sewn pretty good sewn bindings on their deluxe editions since the beginning of last year. They're roughly Marvel Now OHC (not Marvel Omni, which opens really far) quality bindings. I've been happy with them. So we should be good.

They can't even finish a run of trades with the same format or spine design. You expect them to be constant in anything else?

First arc of Green Lanterns was pretty good. #6 made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside and that rarely happens.

They did this with the Starman omni's and I'm still not over it.

It only gets better from there!
Sweet. Can I expect the same of Hal and the Corps?
Hal and the Corps doesn't hit the same emotional beats that GLs does, but it nails epic space action. It boggles my mind that it's the same guy who took over after Johns left during the N52, the difference in quality is so great. The only downside to Hal Jordan are the issues that Ethan van Sciver draws, ugh.

Hal and the Corps is the world-building book. The Green Lantern mythos is generally taken care of there. There are some highlights in terms of character moments, but the cast is too big for much.
GLs is the character book.

Van Sciver's backgrounds are pretty decent in the Hal book but his faces, dear lord. I actually liked the Hal volume 1 more than GLs vol 1 though. I like how it's a take on
even though the reader knows up front that's not the case. In that sense, I think there's quiter a bit of character stuff, I couldn't really get behind the idea it's cast is too big, there's good stuff with Hal, Guy, Sinestro & his daughter. Sinestro has a bit of an interesting thing going on in terms of where he draws the line and what he deems as acceptable or not for the great good, and in the conduct of the yellow lanterns. Green Lanterns has a more obvious premise in terms of "oh yea, that's going to be a character driven book" but in terms of actual character work vs big action, I would say the two were pretty equal.
what if this was it for Hal & the corps; what if the corps were gone and he was the only one left. To go out with a bang or a whimper? The book explores that and it pretty exciting in doing so

Done with Batman Legacy v1 just to find out that v2 doesn't release till late Feb 2018...
The Moench issues were a bit iffy but I enjoyed the Dixon ones. And for some reason, Aparo draws a Grayson that looks older than Bruce. The shirtless sword fight in the sand in Detective Comics 700 felt like a low hanging "remember when" reference.

It doesn't bode well that I turned that Inhumans trailer off instantly. The trailer. The short, heavily edited clip designed to get me excited for the show.
I do hope Wonder Woman is good. DC doesn't need another garbage film, and we desperately need a great female led superhero movie.

...and I need vindication for ordering Sideshow's Wonder Woman movie Premium Format.
I am sure they will look really nice in your thread.
