The Omni looks pretty good man, my phone died or I'd post pictures. It's average Omni sized unlike the SImonson Thor book so binding shouldn't be too much of an issue. Also out tomorrow is the Morrison Action Comics HC and it's a great package all around with the stories in the order Grant intended, followed by the backups and every variant cover.

Mr Wind Up Bird posted:DC balances that feeling by waiting months and months after an arc is finished to release things or just not putting it out in trade at all! It's best when they actually solcit a book and then cancel it at the last minute. Still bitter about Suicide Squad vol 2 and Night force.

Where is my god drat Shade the Changing Man Vol 4!  It does not matter for me now as I got the rest of the series but still it would be nice to have the whole series in trade. Also good job DC having trades like Lucifier go OOP.

I'm still pissed they never even solicited Booster Gold volume 7, which would have collected the last nine issues -- the end of the Giffen/DeMatteis run and the Jurgens Flashpoint stuff.

JLI never did get finished being collected, did it? Not just stopping the HCs at volume four, but stopping the TPBs a couple volumes later.

To be fair, the 52 trades have been pretty timely in their release. We all know it won't happen but Action was probably the longest wait at 3 1/2 months. Edit: hahaha, guess I'll end up with an avatar no matter what I do!

It explores the author's relationship with his father while telling his father's story about WWII and the concentration camps.

Uthor posted:It explores the author's relationship with his father while telling his father's story about WWII and the concentration camps. so its fairly dark, and gloomy? at least that is how I would interpret this. Thank you for your short response time! Also, I picked up the New 52 Batgirl TPB, and I love it, don't know enough about Gail Simone to know why there is so much hate, but I will continue reading until she wrongs me.

Well, the art is anamorphic animals, which lets you take in the story easier. The WWII stuff is dark by its nature. The father/son stuff is more typical slice-of-life, the son trying to understand why his father acts in certain ways and dealing with those annoyances.

Well really, it's more like they are people in animal masks, based off of how the world classifies them. It varies. And yes, very awesome. It's actually what got me reading comics again as an adult- well, that and Flight.

Maus is among the best works on the Holocaust I've encountered. It's one of the most significant works of comics as literature. It's gained massive respect and critical praise; it won a Pulitzer prize. Basically you need to read Maus; it's one of the high water marks of the medium.

His Action Comics issues need to be in a different order? Or do you just mean that all his stories are together, and then the backups are separate? I need to know for my faux-bookbinding project. Didn't realize this would have a different read order.

I need to know for my faux-bookbinding project. Didn't realize this would have a different read order. Issues 5 and 6 were released as an interlude in the middle of the Brainiac storyline. That confused people because chronologically those issues take place after the Brainiac story. So the hardcover moves that story to the end. Now the issues are in chronological order rather than publishing order.

I'm also fairly sure they were always intended to be the arc after the first, since he said the second arc was short and involved the Legion. The first just went behind.

Ya you must be right d00gZ.

They changed some of the teaser text at the end of one issue. That's all I spotted.

I was planning to buy the print version (and I still might), but Comixology just sent out codes where you can upgrade to the color version (if you already had the B&W one, obviously) for $1.99, so I jumped right on that.

It's poignant, heartbreaking, and hopeful, and definitely worth anyone's time. Please tell me more about Flight. Anything good enough to be mentioned in the same breath as Maus is something that piques my interest. I did enough hunting around to know it's an 8-volume anthology with good, colorful art--which I like. Anything else I should know?

I wasn't even aware there was one. But if it is all colored, I don't know if I'd be interested in it. I think I prefer it black and white. I've seen colored pages before and didn't think it worked.

BLOM was pretty vocal about wanting to do it in color as far back as volume 2. It was the film that really got him going on the color editions.

I did enough hunting around to know it's an 8-volume anthology with good, colorful art--which I like. Anything else I should know? It's really nothing like Maus, but what what got my interest was the gorgeous art and the fun, self contained stories. Outside of newspaper comics, at the time I was only really exposed to superhero comics with no ending and no real closure. That combined with an immense continuity to follow and the plethora of good to bad writers/artists to sift through really kind of got to me after awhile, and I lost interest in the medium because of it. Flight was exactly what I needed. I would definitely recommend looking into the series, starting with any will do, the only story that spans more than two volumes is a series by Michel Gagné. If you had the choice, however, I would start with volume 2 or 3- they will better give you a feel of the overall tone of the series. Volume 1 is good, but every story tried to fit with the theme of "flight" which they largely dropped after the first volume. Flight showed me the width of the medium, Maus showed me the depth.

I hope they'll reprint the Iron Fist Omnibus. That thing's impossible to find for any reasonable price  Luckily I managed to find a decently cheap copy of Brubaker Captain America on eBay, though.
