wildlele posted:Fantagraphics seems reasonably safe against this sillyness but time will tell. Between Locas and Locas II, they changed the width of the books (from spine to edge) and Locas sticks out 1/2" further than II when on the shelf. That's way more annoying than any logo change.

DC Source has modified their list of the New 52 trades/hardcovers. It looks like all the books that are getting canned will end up collecting all 8 issues instead of the first 6, as well as a few titles getting their issue count bumped up to 7.

Apparently the Xombi TPB is coming out tomorrow, so I have some faith if they're collecting a low selling series with 0 chance of being referenced. It's like they took the guy who was in charge of trades and shuffled him off into some corner where he could do no further harm...

The first Chew Omnivore edition had this really great sewn binding and opened flat, just bought the second vol and they changed the binding to the regular glue kind. It's not necessarily bad there's not a lot of gutter loss, but drat compared to the first volume it's pretty bad. Just thought i'd share that with you guys if any of you were thinking about buying it.

52 is well worthy of an Omnibus but I'm so very wary of DC's massive omnibuses and the too-tight binding they use. Have a look at the Masterworks Messageboard thread for some pictures of how much art is lost in the recent "new 52" omnibus http://marvelmasterworksfansite.yuku.com/topic/19150/Binding-Books-Laying-Flat--related-DC-Hardcover-Complaints Some other highlights (for me) coming later in the year from DC... quote:SHOWCASE PRESENTS: AMETHYST, PRINCESS OF GEMWORLD VOL. 1 TP I'm buying it.  quote:LEGENDS OF THE DARK KNIGHT: ALAN DAVIS HC An awesome (and much overlooked) little run from Barr and Davis, very highly recommended but it's maybe a little slim for the price point. Whatever, I'll be buying it. quote:STORMWATCH VOL. 2 HC Never read Ellis' Stormwatch but I've heard good things. quote:ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN: GIL KANE HC Looks like they're doing for Superman what they've done for Batman with the Colan/Newton/Rogers books, and I do love me some Gil Kane. quote:DEADMAN VOL. 3 TP Amazed that these classic Deadman trades are continuing but I'm not gonna look a gift horse in the mouth. quote:KAMANDI, THE LAST BOY ON EARTH OMNIBUS VOL. 2 HC Full list here: http://dcu.blog.dccomics.com/2012/01/30/dc-comics-fall-2012/

Chalk up another Amethyst Showcase purchaser. The thing I find really odd on that list is this: quote:THE DC COMICS ART OF AMANDA CONNER HC I like Amanda Conner but that's a strange grab bag of stuff and I didn't think she was high profile enough for this kind of collection. Is this DC going, "See! We have a woman drawing comics for us!"? I'm probably going to order that bronze age GL collection too.

Random Stranger posted:Chalk up another Amethyst Showcase purchaser. She's got enough fans to justify collecting previously uncollected work. The grab bag of stuff is basically necessary - apart from Terra and Power Girl, has she got any long-form work for DC? What I find weird is the inclusion of Wednesday Comics. I know her story was hardly Wonder Woman, which absolutely couldn't be shrunk, but it's still pretty designed for the big pages.

They probably have to re clear the rights to print the Aliens again. That's what held up the original softcover.

The grab bag of stuff is basically necessary - apart from Terra and Power Girl, has she got any long-form work for DC? But that's just it. I'm not sure she does have enough fans to justify it. It's not like Power Girl was burning up the sales charts when she was working on it. She's one of the many brilliant creators out there who consistently do great work but haven't been on something with a high enough profile to become one of the stars of the industry. It makes it seem like this is DC attempt to clumsily deal with the complaints about the lack of women in creative positions. They're practically saying, "See, even if we were complete dicks about this issue before we celebrate the chicks working for us!"

It's presented in the trade in the correct reading order: Stormwatch #10 "Chaper One: No Reason WildC.A.T.s/Aliens One Shot "Chapter Two: WildC.A.T.s/Aliens" Stormwatch #11 "Chapter Three: No Direction Home" If someone was to read that without the middle chapter, WildC.A.T.s/Aliens, it would be pretty crappy. Wildstorm themselves titled WildC.A.T.s/Aliens "Chapter Two" of this 3 part story. Let's put it this way, if I bought this collection and then later found out that there was a one shot explaining why everyone was dead and it wasn't included in the hardcover, I would be pissed.

I stand corrected, but I knew it wasn't the final chapter. It's funny, I've found a handful of cheap copies of WildC.A.T.s/Aliens in dollar bins and even quarter bins over the years, and I always flip them on Amazon Marketplace in the $15-$25 range. I don't own a copy anymore, since I can't resist that. That one-shot is easier to find than the corresponding Stormwatch: Final Orbit TPB nowadays!

Why in the gently caress is there a Geoff Johns omnibus for the Flash, but not a Mark Waid one? Not that the Geoff Johns stuff is bad, but isn't Johns' stuff essentially just building on Waid's legendary run?

I know a bit bit of a petty old man when it comes to these sort of things but DC really know how to piss me off. Two trades, released on the same day: Catwoman has the covers in all the right places, Resurrection Man? Covers all bunched together at the back. Dicks.

Nothing bugs me more (collected editions-wise) than when the covers aren't placed before each issue. Luckily, it's much more rare now then it used to be.
