I believe the Question is linked to all three Green Arrow Annuals, all of which are written by O'Neil. <br /><br />Given that the monthly series is 37 issues (including the Blackest Night crossover), the first volume collecting up to issue 27 leaves plenty of space in Vol 2 for the remaining Question Annual, the remaining two Green Arrow Annuals, the Quarterly series (most issues by O'Neil) as well as the Question Returns One Shot.

Not much here with DC's offerings that I really want. I have the Multiversity Deluxe Edition from a few years back and remember liking some of the stories but not all of them. Grant Morrison is a great writer, but he can be hit or miss for me at times. I'll probably just stick with the Deluxe Edition that I have.<br /><br />Other than that, slim pickings. I'm looking forward to Robin as I really enjoy Joshua Williamsons writing (uneven though it may be at times). He seems to have a good understanding and respect of DC history and always tries to build on that with long term story arcs. <br /><br />As for James Tynion and Fear State....I haven't really been enjoying the latter part of Tynion's run (though the artwork has been great). I'll get it - but not sure what to expect (other than perhaps new villains that Tynion seems fond of creating). <br /><br />I've got all the paperbacks for the Question, so don't think I will upgrade (unless there is something new offered with the Omnibus). <br /><br />Other than Robin, I'll get the Gotham Central omnibus as I missed out on that the first time around and would really love to dig into that series. Also, considering Legion Five Years Later....but I really preferred the first half of stories and felt that towards the latter part....it just kind of fell apart.<br /><br />I do hear you though. Where is the Paul Levitz Legion Omnibus? Stellar from the beginning to the end of his run.

Plus, you know, fighting tournaments.Bob Schoonoverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15371205595372517089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-63086444757146781992021-11-28T21:12:54.144-06:002021-11-28T21:12:54.144-06:00Not sure; hardcover is already out and this is the...Not sure; hardcover is already out and this is the solicit of the paperback to follow.collectededitionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698269790653953645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-72907874862697718622021-11-28T21:11:40.580-06:002021-11-28T21:11:40.580-06:00I'm not one to double-dip but I imagine the wa...I'm not one to double-dip but I imagine the way to get Question paperbacks is for the hardcover to sell really well.collectededitionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698269790653953645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-55834912186886290412021-11-28T21:11:07.766-06:002021-11-28T21:11:07.766-06:00It is odd that Alpha and Omega aren't in there...It is odd that Alpha and Omega aren't in there; hopefully that's just an oversight on the solicits.<br /><br />Yeah, I noticed that name was still in the Represent! solicits and wondered how DC would handle ...collectededitionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698269790653953645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-25709515308758496552021-11-28T21:10:00.305-06:002021-11-28T21:10:00.305-06:00I'd feel better with a second volume of Questi...I'd feel better with a second volume of Question Omnibus on the books too.

The upcoming Batman: Fear State Saga HC seems to be a better option, including not only Batman #112-117 and the bookends, but all of the Secret Files specials that Tynion wrote or co-wrote.<br /><br />Also, I wonder if the Represent! collection will include the autobiographical story written and drawn by disgraced comicsgater colorist Gabe Eltaeb, originally published in issue #11 of the digital version. In hindsight, DC must really regret having published that one.shagamuhttp://shagamu.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-23050566644120785462021-11-25T21:43:09.848-06:002021-11-25T21:43:09.848-06:00Very light (especially since some of these are adv...Very light (especially since some of these are advanced solicits) month for me<br />-Absolute Multiversity looks to have ~180 new pages compared to previous releases.
