I have a single volume collecting it all, but it's only slightly oversized (about the size of a Marvel OSHC) that definitely could use some cleanup (you can see the backs of the newspaper pages bleeding through from the scans). It was only $30, so hard to complain about it.

Edit: looks like my copy is from Taschen, too!

I have that one but didn't think it covered the whole series. I also now own the megabook and will concur that it is huge. It shipped from Amazon in a box which contained another box which contained the Nemo box which contained the Nemo books.

I hope you have the Glory hardcover as it's loving hardcore as gently caress.

I already have the trades. Is it worth the upgrade?

Also. Barnes and Noble is having a buy two get one free sale on Marvel and DC titles. This alone is not really enough to beat IST or Amazon marketplace sellers in most cases but... now you can add the BFRIDAY14 code and it gives you 30% off your most expensive item. I picked up the Aaron Punisher Omni, Absolute Batman and Robin, and Absolute Final Crisis for about $41 a book.

Speaking of Absolutes, I know that Absolute Batman Inc is coming out. What is the likelihood of the entire Morrison Batman saga being collected in the absolute format? Should I just start piecing together trades to get the whole story? Is the whole story really necessary?

Based on what DC seems to do now I would expect the Morrison run to be collected in deluxe editions, or maybe one ridiculous omnibus. I can't speak for the Inc part of the story but everything up to Inc was necessary, I suppose.

Has Frank Miller's Hard Boiled ever been released in a nice hardcover edition? I'd love to upgrade the battered paperback that's been on my shelves for 20 years...

Is the YA any good? I recently made a very big purchase for myself recently, but I wouldn't mind adding that in if it were good.

Also, is the Deadpool and Cable omnibus any good? I remember browsing through an issue many many moons ago, and it was just 'meh' to me.

The run of Cable/Deadpool is probably the best era for either character pretty much ever.

So I somehow totally missed that Vertigo finally got around to printing a complete run of Hellblazer in matching trade dress.
Volumes 1-9 are currently available with Vol.10

hitting August 2015. That takes us to issue #117 of 300 not to mention numerous specials and minis. So it's not hard to say that to finish this series of trades it will run 30 volumes which at two per year will finish up in the year 2024.

God drat it.

Before we engage we should hang back and study their tactics.
Just picked up Remender's Uncanny X-Force vol 3, 5 and 6 at my LCBS for $5 each, based on the recommendation here, so I'll have to pick up the other 4 volumes elsewhere. I assume, much like everything else related to Fear Itself, in UXF:FI book is unnecessary?

I also got Madman vol 2 and 3 for $4 apiece. I assume all that comes before them is Vol 1 and Atomic Comics comes after?

Every once in a while Diamond ships the wrong book and rather than waste money on a return label they tell us to destroy the book. Usually the owner of the store lets me keep the book if it's something I like. That happened two weeks ago. Sadly it was the loving New 52 ZERO Omnibus.

Just received an Instocktrades shipment and a Barnes and Noble shipment today. IST, perfectly packaged. All books mint. B&N? Every corner of the book crunched slightly. I still have two absolutes coming from them, hope they fare better. A strip of cardboard in a bubble mailer just ain't enough for an omnibus. Personally I don't care about the condition but it makes it harder to re-sell if I don't really dig it.
