It concludes in a nice way that completes the initial story and throws the Body Doubles out into the DCnU for others to play with as well. I guess it will be collected in two books, I suggest that people get both if they want a well written and good story.<br /><br />I read Hawk & Dove in singles as well. Can't say that the book thrilled.<br /><br />OMAC was one I really enjoyed. Also followed in singles, but would reccommend those that read through trades pick the collected editions up.<br /><br />ARShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01449004948708758823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-33274248321367946152012-11-05T12:37:17.396-06:002012-11-05T12:37:17.396-06:00Since I became a full-fledged waiter for the trade...Since I became a full-fledged waiter for the trade I found myself having trouble remembering what issues were collected in which hardcover/paperback.

They ranged from the utterly awful (Sins Past) to the exemplary (AVP: Eternal and Alien: The Illustrated Story). <br /><br />If nothing else, my obsession with Walt Simonson was cemented this month. I just picked up the whole "Thor" run at a sale at Tate's Comics in Lauderhill, FL.<br /><br />Also, I finally found "The Draco"... sort of. At the sale, they had each individual issue for $.75, so for $5.25, I figured it was better to do that than keep searching for such a rare trade. Besides, I wanted to read the letter columns and see the reaction to the title at the time.doug.glassmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18018711097234509826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-9264972592841555652012-11-02T16:29:23.426-05:002012-11-02T16:29:23.426-05:00Hmm ...

Frankenstein and Blue Beetle both had unusually early Vol. 2s, and that's because they were goners.<br /><br />And to some extent, DC's front-loading 2013, too. Justice League, JLI, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Animal Man, and Batman all in the first couple months. I applaud that they're releasing paperbacks of the Vol. 1s around the same time as the Vol. 2 hardcovers, but we'll see if the end of the year feels "blah" again.<br /><br />@dlberes - True, and thanks, though I meant with what wave was it cancelled, not with what wave did it arrive.collectededitionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698269790653953645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-28358898433995941592012-11-02T12:22:34.785-05:002012-11-02T12:22:34.785-05:00Resurrection Man was a wave 1 series.Resurrection Man was a wave 1 series.dlbereshttp://twitter.com/dlberesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-83701721377661617122012-11-02T11:04:39.638-05:002012-11-02T11:04:39.638-05:00I'm with in the enthusiasm department. The en...I'm with in the enthusiasm department. The energy toward the tail end of the trades was and is no where near as powerful as it started out. Doesn't help that certain trades where they benefited from others books, were released far apart from one-another. Animal Man and Swamp Thing are perfect examples. They do so well together, yet Swamp Thing was released 4 months apart.<br /><br />And even weirder, is the release of certain trades. All-Star Western just came out this week, and yet, Vol.2 is coming out in March. What?! A mere 5 months later for that? Demon Knights came out in July, and still no solicitation for that? Stuff like that doesn't make sense.<br /><br />But anywho, yes you will enjoy Swamp Thing (I already did my review on Amazon). Flash is pretty darn good, and so is All-Star Western. And whenever you can, review Penguin: Pain and Prejudice. It's worth it. AngryLionheart1https://www.blogger.com/profile/08551845755863689101noreply@blogger.com
