My copies of Zenith phase 1 and 2 arrived the other day, I'm still blown away that they got reprinted at all. Only disappointment is the lack of extras - there's no foreword, creator interviews or anything, just a covers gallery in each volume. Still, can't wait for the final 2.

My copy of the second JSA omnibus came in the post today. It's actually slightly (there is really not much in it) thinner than the first one despite having almost 200 more pages. Must've switched to thinner paper; I haven't taken the plastic off it yet (I'm reading something else at the moment) so I've not been able to check yet.

Say, wasn't DC going to put out the Mieville run of 'Dial H' in hardcover? I can't recall where I read it, but I can't seem to find any news on it at all.

Yeah, it includes the X-Men, X-Factor and New Mutants issues between FOTM and Inferno. Which means that there's only one substantial section of Claremont's run that remains uncollected; Uncanny X-Men #154-198.

I'm really curious to see where DC goes with the JSA Omnibus series next. The second volume ends at #75 with another year of uncollected stories. Plus there's JSA Classified and All Stars and the Justice Society of America series to collect. Maybe the Magog ongoing to get it all reprinted together. I find these books to be just a bit too big as both of mine are already showing stress on the upper spine binding.

They're doing a third volume which will take them into OYL through to the end of Johns's run. From that blog: quote:I was wrong -- I thought they'd quit after two volumes. This'll definitely make some people happy. It's (preliminarily) JSA #76-87, Justice Society of America #1-28, Justice League of America #8-10, Justice Society of America Annual #1, JSA Kingdom Come Special: Superman #1, JSA Kingdom Come Special: Magog #1, and JSA Kingdom Come Special: The Kingdom #1. That's past Geoff Johns and into the Jerry Ordway issues, though it stops before the Bill Willingham/Matthew Sturges material. Now I think they're done, though there is material out there for a fourth volume. On a related note, DC is also doing a Wonder Woman by George Pérez omnibus, which is going to include the issues he pencilled (#1-24, I think), but he wrote quite a lot more than that, so I hope it's eventually collected as well. You know what omnibus series I'd be dead keen on from DC? The Power of Shazam by Jerry Ordway. DC seems more inclined to go for 1200-page monsters than marvel, so I reckon they could fit the lot into a couple of volumes.

Well, it might still be included. As far as I'm aware, that's just what the guy who wrote that blog post suspects is very likely to be included. DC changed the contents of the two previous omniboo before they were released, after all.

Are Barnes & Noble's online prices always this terrible, or did they raise everything to make their Buy 2 Get 1 not actually a good deal? I just ordered the 3 omnibuses I wanted at IST for a significantly lower price.

Their prices are usually not good and beating IST often requires planets to align. There are a couple exceptions (Fantagraphics in particular) but generally it goes IST then Amazon then Amazon marketplace then Amazon warehouse deals then B&N.

Speaking of, the local Forbidden Planet has a copy of the Secret Wars omnibus, which as I understand it is out of print. They're charging 75 quid for it, though, which is a bit too steep. I'm not sure the story (such as it is) is really worth it when there's a more reasonably-priced TPB available.

The aftermarket on Marvel Omni's is what prompts them to jack the price. I myself have successfully sold many of them for 3 or 4 times cover price in the past.

The third and apparently final LoEG Nemo book comes out in March:quote:In a world where all the fictions ever written coalesce into a rich mosaic, it's 1975. Janni Dakkar, pirate queen of Lincoln Island and head of the fabled Nemo family, is eighty years old and beginning to display a tenuous grasp on reality. Pursuing shadows from her past - or her imagination - she embarks on what may be a final voyage down the vastness of the Amazon, a last attempt to put to rest the blood-drenched spectres of old. With allies and adversaries old and new, we accompany an aging predator on her obsessive trek into the cultural landscape of a strange new continent, from the ruined city of Yu-Atlanchi to the fabulous plateau of Maple White Land. As the dark threads in her narrative are drawn into an inescapable web, Captain Nemo leads her hearse-black Nautilus in a desperate raid on horrors believed dead for decades. Through the exotic spectacle of an imagined South America, Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill steer their fifty-year-long Nemo trilogy to its remarkable conclusion, borne upon a River of Ghosts. (Yu-Atlanchi is from the book The Face in the Abyss by Abraham Merritt; Maple White Land is from The Lost World by Arthur Conan Doyle.)  That might be Ilsa on the right.

Well it looks like I can cash in all my points at work (how i get certain books at cost) at once on this one. It'd be $225 plus tax then. Still not sure I need it.

I see that Power Man and Iron Fist: Heroes for Hire and the Iron Fist solo series have been added to Marvel's Epic Collection line. To tie in with their upcoming Netflix series, no doubt, and I think their Bronze Age material isn't very well-represented in collections outside the Essentials line, either (same could be said of Daredevil in both regards, as well). Even so, I'm susprised that there hasn't been a Hulk collection in this line yet. Then again, Moon Knight and Silver Surfer weren't exactly obvious additions themselves. Didn't the Moon Knight one turn out to be one of the biggest-selling Epics yet, too?

I picked up a cool, $8 find the other day--a thick hardcover called Batman: From The 30s Through the 70s from 1971. It's a very well put-together kind-of-best-of collection of strips and full comics from that spread of years, broken up by decade, some in color, some not. It made a fine addition to the bat-library. not my photo, but look at that old-school charm

How does The Authority and Planetary intermingle? I'm currently reading the Planetary omnibus and people have mentioned The Authority as well. Is there an Authority omnibus I should be looking into?

Is there an Authority omnibus I should be looking into? They don't really, except for the fact that they're in the same universe. If you're interested, the only Authority worth reading is Ellis's and Hitch's (short) run, which is in hardcover. I guess if you can stomach Millar you can continue onwards, but nobody quite had the same scale of ideas as Ellis, unfortunately. Planetary is more or less independent because that's sorta what a super clandestine group tends to do. Their nemeses are another super clandestine group, which may explain why The Authority never gave a poo poo. Except for one crossover (where the two groups still never meet), they are pretty much separate.

There are also references to The High, a Superman-type character the Jenny et al dealt with, but that occured at the end of Ellis' Stormwatch, just prior to Authority kicking off. I think that's it. There is an Ellis Authority hardcover containing his 12 issues, yes. There is a second HC containing the subsequent Millar run as well. redbackground fucked around with this message at 15:57 on Jan 28, 2015 |
