Just got the Batman Inc deluxe, and what smartass did the book layout? A bunch of the intro pages have panels from the book, and most of them are from #8, the Internet issue that is too ugly for me to actually read. Picking awesome images out of this book is pretty simple, but no, let's use screen caps from an 80s computer game.

How did they color Mr Miracle and Sunny Sumo? Same as the HC?

Anyone know if the Miles Morales USM will get the same OSHC treatment Parker did?

Happy Hippo posted:Didn't a Spawn collection come out a couple of years ago that cost over $1000 and had something for all five senses, ie, a scratch and sniff component, sounds like those annoying greeting cards, etc? I thought I saw an article about it about two years ago and now google yields nothing. I think that was an April Fool's joke.

I've had the X-Statics since it came out and it's been fine. I hear glue fails more easily in humid places, but New England has treated all my books well.

wildlele posted:Does DMZ get better? I picked up the first few trades and got pretty bored. This might be one I just hit up the library and use my money for IDW Artist Editions. I'd say no because I was immediately pulled in by the story and the idea of NYC becoming a failed state, and the rest of the series keeps going along the same lines. It is really great for what it is, and I could imagine double dipping for it, but I wouldn't recommend it to everyone. I don't know if I'd recommend it to people who weren't American, really.

Anyone have any reason for me to hope that the Morales Ultimate Spider-Man will be collected in OSHCs? The Vol 3 TPB and Spider-Men comes out in 2 weeks, and I haven't seen any announcements.

Rhyno posted:If it's a book that has yet to be released they will get it. If it's old stock don't always count on it. It looks like DCBS has more stuff than usual in their specials, any thoughts on how wise it would be to order something that won't be out for a while? And I guess DR STRANGE AND DR DOOM TP TRIUMPH AND TORMENT is getting reprinted? Cool.

Metal Loaf posted:What TPBs tend to be the biggest sellers; "catalogue" releases (by which I mean reprints of classic stories, such as Marvel Masterworks and Essentials or DC's Showcase series) or collections of more recent stories? My question: I'm about to say gently caress it and buy up TPBs of the Miles Morales USM. It's been coming out for 2 years or something, any reason to hope it'll get an OSHC release like the Parker stuff?

I gave up and got TPBs, tho, and I'm glad I get the stories at least. I wish they got back to large trades, even just thicker TPBs, for the Ultimate line.

GrandpaPants posted:I don't think this was mentioned here, but I'm excited for The Colossal Conan, which collects issues 0-50 of Busiek's Conan run. I have heard good things and now apparently I will have the option of reading all of it, assuming Dark Horse doesn't suck at omnibuses. Dark Horse has done really well with Hellboy and BPRD. Chew is just that good.

They make up for it by publishing things like the New 52 Omnibus. First issue of 52 different, unconnected series.

Rhyno posted:We stopped ordering the DH digets omnibus books completely because half the time they show up with chunks of pages falling out. They're a terrible product. IDW releases an identical format with no quality issues. DH is slowly becoming the worst at making trades. This surprises me because the Hellboy stuff is done really well.

Zachack posted:Why would they be hard to find? Is Lapham trying to erase any evidence of his pre-Avatar output? Pretty sure he published it himself, and I guess he just did a small run and doesn't want to do another. It's a shame because I'd definitely pick that up. Some great stuff.

Vertigo is really going through with the Invisibles Deluxe versions!? Amazon lists it as Feb, and DCBS has it on their special order page. Thought it would get lost like the Lucifer HC's There's also a special edition Locke & Key vol 3, but I missed out on the first 2 and $50 for 6 issues is pushing it, esp when I already have it in a nice HC.

To make you feel better, binds do have problems. The comics generally have lesser paper quality vs TPBs, the ads are often still in place, and a lot of Omnis are physically larger. Plus, binding isn't free or anything. You definitely save money if you bind hard to find trades, if you're trying to copy a trade you can get in the $5 bin, don't.

I haven't used CheapGraphicNovels, but dcbservice.com had X-Force for $50 as well, and they're good folks, so the pricing isn't insane.

Happy Hippo posted:Anyone know if there are any plans to collect Fraction's Defenders into an OSHC? I've heard it's great and I dig my shorter runs collected in the biggest books possible. I'd be surprised. Defenders came out a while ago, didn't sell that well, and I think Marvel has cooled off on the OSHC thing.

Hakkesshu posted:I forget, is there any significant format difference between OSHCs and Marvel's regular hardcovers? I've decided that I want to own Thor: God of Thunder in physical books, but I'm wondering if I should wait for the larger collection that comes out in the fall. If it's just a matter of thickness, I don't care. The books are 1 or 1.5 inches taller, too. Plus, nerd cred.

SALT CURES HAM posted:How are Image's deluxe hardcovers, anyways? I already have the first three trades of Saga on Comixology, but I kinda want to pre-order the HC if they're typically good quality and/or big. I have the Y collections and they rule. It probably varies by creator for Image, Chew and Skullkickers are also great, but they have the glossy printed cover instead of Y's dustcover.

So they're coming out with a Deluxe version of New Frontier. It's been on my todo list for a while, but would I be happier with the Absolute? I tend not to care about sketches in the back, but it looks like the abs may have new content too.

Aren't the HCs printed in the order the issues came out, and the TPBs are grouped by stories? I know my HCs are in the printing order.
