I have found the first two in hardcover at reasonable prices since the paperbacks were released, and although I have the third paperback preordered was hoping to soon find the equivalent hardcover priced less than $75!

Based on the story quality of the Chuck Dixon chapters in the No Man's Land trades, I have skipped over the Robin and Nightwing re-collections. I am kind of averse to the megagloss applied to all these 90s comics, but withstand it for the Bat (of couurse) and am gradually enjoying it when the effect isnt overkill. It's the lack of consistency that is intolerable. Why DC would regress in the midst of progress is alarming for someone looking to complete at least one series on their bookshelf. New Teen Titans and Deathstroke (90s) collections have been consistent if not stellar presentation. Can anyone state if the recent Azrael trades have that blurry look that his episodes from the No Man's Land collections have? And glossy or matte? As someone who does 100% of their "new" purchased online sight unseen, knowing paper quality is a big assist. Although the last year I have been preordering everything... Which is why it's so disappointing seeing something like last week's Suicide Squad vol 3.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13204834161177852469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-27323835251872510112016-04-15T09:02:54.534-05:002016-04-15T09:02:54.534-05:00Well, the Lois feature only ran in issues #2-12, w...Well, the Lois feature only ran in issues #2-12, which are in this volume.

Actually, Adventures #506, Action #693 and MoS #28 send off surviving Supermen to their new series, so that those would be cool as epilogues.Mareknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-32152064165394134982016-04-14T02:11:39.459-05:002016-04-14T02:11:39.459-05:00The only thing that annoyed me more than that pape...The only thing that annoyed me more than that paper that was used in Suicide Squad vol. 3 were glossy-phobe idiots somewhere online who declared that a win without even seeing the book.<br /><br />As for why, maybe there are actual reasons, or maybe it's just DC.

Both are on paper almost as thin as tissue and with, how shall I say, not the brightest colors. This is especially disappointing given the presentation of the first two Suicide Squad volumes for which I enjoyed glossy paper for once. So vibrant! In addition, given the amazing colors and nice thick matte bone-white paper of some recent back-issue releases (War of the Gods, Golden Age Superman, Silver Age Justice League) I really expected Black Lightning to be on the same stock.
