Dude. I am SO getting this.

Best superhero story of the past several years. Awwwwesome.

I'm sure one of [livejournal.com profile] the_adzo's friends will wanna bitch, but that's their problem.

Nice!

Completely agree about the quality of the story. I knew I was holding off on buying the two trades for a reason.

Defintely. I held off Absolute Watchmen and Kingdom Come, but this is a must get.

Well....
Absolute editions of Watchmen and Kingdom Come are on my list at this point. As well as the Uncanny Omnibus.

I can hold off on the Dark Knight Returns Absolute thanks to my tenth anniversary edition.

I am a sucker for giant oversized hardcovers unfortunately...

Freakin' sweet! Is there a complete list of the "Absolute" hardbacks? Even though the label has already been compromised in terms of quality by mid-grade stuff like "Hush", I'd still like to know the full list.

All I could find was Crisis, Kingdom Come & Watchmen.

There's also Authority, both League of Extraordinary Gentlemen volumes, and Danger Girl.

The added bonus is that you know Darwyn will be at the Paradise Con next year, so you can get him to personalise it for you...

Danger Girl? Did they want to divest the format of any prestige so QUICKLY?!

I'd be intimidated in his presence.

Besides, I'd throw my back out carrying it to the con.

I know there's Hush and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen as well (two, in fact, there's a version called "The Black Dossier" that I'm curious about.)

Ultimate LoEG? I could certainly get into that.

Also been a Planetary Absolute.

JLA/Avengers collected was an absolute in everything but name.
