So what are you hoping for the next absolute edition /co/?

Year One is coming later in the year and that was in my top 3.

Hoping for a Absolute Knightfall.
>>
>>80469318
>Absolute Knightfall.
That would be like 4 volumes.
>>
>>80469318
I'd like to see an updated DKR absolute that has DKR3 added to it. (and 4 if Miller actually gets around to doing it)

For GL: I'd like to see some of the classic Lantern/Arrow stories from the 70s collected.

I'm amazed the Death, Life and Return of Superman hasn't gotten the absolute treatment.
>>
I'm hoping Absolute Year One isn't recolored
>>
extreme justice
>>
>>80469353
Depends if you add prodigal and the AzBat solo chapters.

I could see Volume 1 being Knightfall and then Volume 2 being Knightsend & the Bruce Wayne parts of Knightquest.
>>
Promethea and Authority vol 1 reprint
>>
>>80469318
Moore's Swamp Thing across 3 volumes would be nice.
>>
>>80469407
This.

Maybe they are printing both colors? I could see the 2 versions and extras being enough for absolute size.
>>
>>80469368
>updated DKR absolute
I'm pretty sure someone at DC mentioned that this was the plan after DKR3 wraps up.

Also a vol. 2 if Miller/Lee ever get around to wrapping up All Star.
>>
I want an Absolute Infinite Crisis.

The omni is great, but is incomplete and is missing some rather important side issues.
>>
>Absolute Knightfall
So you're one of those cucks.
>>
>>80469568
The omni is also OOP.
>>
>>80469580
go read le-bat-epic or something
>>
>>80469621
Hey now, the bat epic is obviously better than BANE?
>>
>>80469368
>For GL: I'd like to see some of the classic Lantern/Arrow stories from the 70s collected.
The O'Neil/Adams stuff already got an Absolute
>>
This thread reminded me to go pick up my Absolute:B&R from the book store. Woo!

I'd also pick up an absloute of Born to Kill but it'll never get made
>>
>>80469641
for you xD
>>
>>80469641
morrisons half coherent wankery is yet to get a movie
>>
Animal Man
>>
>>80469761
Why would you want that absolutely shit artwork in high quality? The omnibus is fine for Animal Man.
>>
>>80469621
>>80469740
This must be bait, right?

I'd like to see Zero Hour collected. (All 5 main issues + Extras)

I would love it even more if they could create a pull out timeline to mirror the one in #0.
>>
>>80469805
it's hypercrisis
>>
>>80469801
>shit artwork
>>
>>80469805
Nah, it's just that people are starting to rejudge the Bat-epic. It had some great moments, but suffers greatly from some of Morrison's writing ticks.
>>
>>80469443
No thank you please.
I'd prefer not seeing DC money grab on that.
>>
>>80469932
You mean the tick where he sucks at writing?

what Absolutes are a must-have?
>>
>>80469954
good meme

>>80469964
Absolute watchmen and absolute all star superman are a good starting point.
>>
>>80469964
Honestly, if you don't have an extreme fondness for a series an Absolute isn't worth it. Look at the list of what are available, and decide if you actually like any of those comics.
>>
>>80469964
None of them. They're just over priced omnibus' with as much junk they could throw in on the side.
Just buy normal omnibus', you'll be able to buy more comics that way.
>>
>>80470007
I wouldn't go that far. The binding and paper stock is obviously superior. (and archival acid free quality)

Plus most are larger than standard floppy/trade size, so you get the artwork closer to the original artist print.

Yes, they are expensive, but it's to give you the best physical presentation possible.
>>
>>80470038
Its still overpriced.
>>
>>80469915
Animal Man has shit artwork. Or incredibly bland and mediocre if you want to be nice about it. Brian Bolland on covers only rubs salt on that wound. And half the appeal of Absolute editions is seeing all that artwork in nice high quality paper.
>>
>>80470301
fuck you
>>
>>80470363
Nah, fuck you.
>>
>>80469825
I second this. Zero Hour is really the red-headed stepchild of Crisis events in DC.

It's really a pretty good story and deserves a place at the table of DC events.
>>
>>80470493
I made that comic what it was.
>>
>>80469825
>>80470495
It's too convoluted and relies on tie-ins to make sense, it would be better as a complete omnibus.

>>80469568
What issues is it missing?
>>
Promethean, Saga of The Swamp Thing, Seven Soldiers, Shade The Changing Man, Lucifer.
>>
>>80470792
of you mean promethea that has 3 absolutes
>>
>>80470818
Yeah? I was not aware...
Guess I know what my next buy's gonna be.
>>
>>80471055
vol 1 is oop
>>
>>80471155
Well, fuck...
>>
>>80469318
Omega Men.
>>
an absolute of Lemire's GA run would be cool
>>
>>80469964
Absolute Dark Knight, shame its out of print and best luck is ebay
>>
>>80470064
The Absolute editions of Sandman are way batter content for the price compared to the 2 omnis.
>>
>>80470301
The artwork isn't bland at all, it's cartoony, sure, but still better than a lot of what Vertigo was putitng up at the time with LINES and NO COLORS.

Also, being so cartoony reinforces a lot of the comic themes. I know it wasn't intentional, but it still worked within the comic.
>>
>>80472326
>but still better than a lot of what Vertigo was putitng up at the time with LINES and NO COLORS.
Vertigo wasn't around at the time, you imbecile.
>>
>2016 still no absolute saga of swamp thing
I know Moore and DC have a bad relationship but come DC just throw some money at him.
