There’s so much crossover material in Robin that the trades suffer terribly. It’s a shame as there are later chunks of the Robin run that were much more self contained but we likely won’t get there now.<br /><br />I’m sure I’ve seen solicits for other Rebirth deluxe volume 4’s in the past.

Good on ya DC.<br /><br />Looks like DC wants to steer clear of Grayson’s Nightwing, which is understandable as I remember a lot of drama with Tarantula and Blockbuster the fan base hated. Tomasi is a fine replacement, been looking for a Great Leap reprint forever.<br /><br />In terms of trade dress, i’m betting the new volume 1’s will look like the NAOH books and Snyder’s Justice League, i.e. black with title and subtitle aligned to the enter, and a small character portrait at the top. I do wonder if and when longer runners like Batman and Flash will switch over, since DC has never been a fan of releasing trades numbered higher than 10-12.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712903941813055793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-5766928302417640892018-11-29T09:28:23.324-06:002018-11-29T09:28:23.324-06:00Oops, the comment above was meant as a reply to Za...Oops, the comment above was meant as a reply to Zach King's.<br /><br />About Justice League: Zero Hour, just an observation: Waid actually wrote two of the Justice League Task Force issues in it (#15 and #0), and he remained on the series until #20, with Priest co-writing his last three issues. If DC intends to release a second volume of JLTF, I think it should start with either #0 or #17, because #13-16 don't read well without the rest of the crossovers they take part in.shagamuhttp://shagamu.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-1980864224670216322018-11-29T09:20:12.264-06:002018-11-29T09:20:12.264-06:00The third volume of Barr's Batman and the Outs...The third volume of Barr's Batman and the Outsiders was listed in the previous catalog, and it's slated for April.<br /><br />As for Flash/Impulse: Runs in the Family, I think they're simply trying to make it more sellable by taking advantage of the fact that there are 4 Flash issues in it.

1) Something else has to be in that...My two cents:<br /><br />1) Something else has to be in that Swamp Thing book. Current contents are an 80-page giant and a 12-page Wal-Mart story. It gives me great hope that the other WM exclusives will see a wider audience, but it's still too rich for my blood since I already have the King/Wein prestige floppy.<br /><br />2) Something curious (and infuriating) with that Kirby book: Sandman #2-6 weren't collected in the Simon/Kirby Sandman HC a few years back, although #1 was - it was mostly a Golden Age book. Kirby only did covers on #2-3, so I would be surprised to see those full issues. Most of the other stuff was in the Kirby Omnibus Vol. 2, and his "Super Powers" runs were just collected in a standalone volume. In fact, this book consolidates most of the Kirby HCs we saw around 2007 - Demon, OMAC, Losers, and the second Omnibus. You've also got the hard-to-find Spirit World and Days of the Mob HCs accounted for here, too. (The only thing missing, surprisingly, is Kirby's Kobra #1.) Again, duplicates a lot of what I already have - I'd be better off just tracking down the Spirit World HC.<br /><br />3) That Outsiders collection is almost certainly going to be delayed - DC embarrassingly cancelled the book the same week in-house ads promised its December release. Oops! Bryan Hill promises it's going to be resolicited once the book is updated to reflect a few forthcoming continuity shake-ups - good news for us timeline wonks.<br /><br />4) Interesting that they are joint-billing Flash on the Impulse trade - makes sense for a volume with a generous crossover, but what does that augur for Vol. 2?<br /><br />5) Nightwing by Peter Tomasi includes Nightwing's (tenuous) tie-in to Batman RIP, tossing Two-Face into the mix. Trades and single issues of this aren't easy to find, so good on DC for keeping it in print and giving Tomasi a headliner. I get a feeling that he was given Detective as an apology for losing Superman (and, sort of, Super Sons) to Bendis, but Tomasi is an underrated reliable writer.<br /><br />6) Allow me, too, to beat the Ordway drum with you. I've held off on scouring back issues bins because I *know* something has to be coming.<br /><br />7) No more trades from Chuck Dixon's Robin, though... not edgy enough in a post-Titans "f--- Batman" age? No third volume of Barr's "Batman & The Outsiders," either, which should be an easy sell with Young Justice's third-season subtitle.Zach Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17905320964723323391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-23535549291046901382018-11-29T07:32:09.394-06:002018-11-29T07:32:09.394-06:00I'm going to selfishly assume you combined the...I'm going to selfishly assume you combined the Feb solicits & Edelweiss catalog together because of how excited I was on Facebook about the catalog. Thanks!<br /><br />Very excited about Flash by Waid v6, Wonder Woman by Rucka v3, and the second Morrison Batman Omnibus. Those are all bought on the first day. The first Morrison omni was oh so well put together, I have very high hopes DC can thread the needle on collecting the three different pieces of the story in a reasonable way (v1 and the assumed v3 are straight linear stories; v2 is kind of nuts).<br /><br />In the Edelweiss solicits, they also have Flash by Johns v6 (Rebirth, Blackest Night, 1-6) which will presumably be followed by v7 (7-12, Flashpoint). Rogues' Revenge is missing, but it also doesn't really entirely fit anywhere, either (obviously, it goes between v5 and v6 - I meant narratively). This suggests, if nothing else, there's no reason DC wouldn't do Flash by Waid v7 (DC doesn't seem to worry about a jump in narrative between v5 and v6 by Johns).<br /><br />I'm not too excited about the price or format for Legion: 5 Years Later. I've never read the stories, but I've always been a bit curious. Even w/steep discounts, that's still a lot of money. I guess it isn't surprising since they used that format for the Superboy & the Legion collections, but ugh.<br /><br />Impulse and JL: ZH are both collections I'll probably pick up, but am not as off-the-walls excited about as Flash by Waid or WW by Rucka. Glad to see DC continuing to collect 90s events in some fashion. Gives me hope for a few other 90s events getting a nice omni or collections (Armageddon 2001).<br /><br />Complete side note, but this should be of interest to many who lurk and post here:<br />http://theomnibuscollector.com/post/177913582296/the-second-annual-dc-most-wanted-omnibus-secret Bob Schoonoverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15371205595372517089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-48871659279508346742018-11-29T06:45:30.467-06:002018-11-29T06:45:30.467-06:00I'd say rebirth deluxes coming to an end.
