The beginning of issue #5 features a brief mention of something that happened in the crossover, but it's nothing you can't gloss over. Still, I'd say it's preferrable to read the whole thing between issues #3 and #5.shagamuhttp://shagamu.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-82733694339623833012019-02-04T15:25:56.302-06:002019-02-04T15:25:56.302-06:00OK, you've sold me on putting it on the (long)...OK, you've sold me on putting it on the (long) reading list.collectededitionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698269790653953645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-43171592819969228252019-02-04T15:24:16.935-06:002019-02-04T15:24:16.935-06:00God bless James Tynion, shouting back to Shadowpac...God bless James Tynion, shouting back to Shadowpact.collectededitionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698269790653953645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-50906758947381756252019-02-04T15:23:28.818-06:002019-02-04T15:23:28.818-06:00Other advice I'm getting says issues #5-7 of J...Other advice I'm getting says issues #5-7 of JLD, at least, do ignore the events of the crossover.

It surpasses their Batman (and other work) because they have infinitely more freedom with the material. Part of that was also that Loeb was cutting his comic book teeth and thus wasn't playing to any kind of expectations. The result is kind of like early Vertigo (like Gerard Jones' <i>Green Lantern: Mosaic</i>, which unfortunately might never be rediscovered because of Jones), but still more or less integrated (or never officially <i>considered</i> Vertigo, having happened after the imprint took on its own dressing) into the DC landscape.Tony Laplumehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07854455859399339169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-21975947123749782402019-02-02T07:07:52.884-06:002019-02-02T07:07:52.884-06:00Yes, same Leviathan from Batman Incorporated.

I was afraid we'd only get vol 1, and then the House of Mystery vol 1, and now a HoS vol 2. Hope these keep going, as they're pretty damn great.

However, I don't see Aquaman #41-42 getting collected outside of the crossover's HC, simply because there's nothing left of Abnett's run to be collected with this issue. Titans #28, on the other hand, works fine as a stand-alone read and leads right into the "Marooned" arc, so I think leaving it out of Titans Vol. 6 would be a mistake.<br /><br />What I can't agree with is the fact that they didn't make an exception for "The Witching Hour" as well. That crossover is integral to Justice League Dark, irrelevant to the Wonder Woman series and entirely written by Tynion, so there's no reason why it shouldn't be collected in JLD Vol. 1 along with issues #1-3, just like you suggested.shagamuhttp://shagamu.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-53890435961598754462019-01-31T07:32:48.176-06:002019-01-31T07:32:48.176-06:00I've seen it speculated that the Hush Omni was...I've seen it speculated that the Hush Omni was cancelled so it can be resolicited in tandem w/the Hush DC animated movie. <br /><br />I am not in a hurry to pick up the JL collections (I'll get them all - it's just not a priority), so I'll wait out everything being in paperback.
