Very busy is right... I'm in for East of West, Paper Girls, Super Sons, and Excalibur. Already have road to no mans land in trade, and without seeing the rest of it solicited anywhere, I'm hardpressed to jump on this Omni. Same with the JLA collection. I don't want to have the omni, plus the tpbs for the rest.

I’m probably going to hold off on East of west for now. Will Pick up Excalibur. I’m torn on JLA. Would rather it be the complete series not just Morrison’s stuff.

(Also got novel version)
A Very DC Halloween by varios writers
DC Holiday Nigtmare Catalysmic Holiday Carols by vsrois writers
Forever People by Jack Kirby
Special edtion slip case Teen Titans Raven & Beast Boy by Kami Garcia & Gabriel Picolo

I'll just pick up books off my wishlist. Surprisingly, some of these Marvel Horror and pre-FF omnis are selling out and I still need a couple.

Hmm. DC's website doesn't specifically say Deluxe, and they aren't in Diamond Previews anymore so no info there. Amazon makes it look like it is standard size but I don't really trust their dimensions.
Now I'm flipping back to getting that JLA Morrison Omnibus and going ahead and picking up the Waid Tower of Babel Deluxe, although there are still a couple issues that would still be missing. Which should be a moot point for me since I own all the single issues. Decisions, decisions...

I'm not 100% sure - my understanding is that is a Black Label book and they initially stated all of those hardcovers will be the oversize editions. I see that it is the same cover price Harleen was so it's likely oversize like that one was.

DC is apparently recalling the Blackest Night Brightest Day box set.

It might be worth your while to pick up the volume one Venom OHC by Cates as a good lead up to the omnibus. I liked Absolute Carnage better than the War of the Realms event. Absolute Carnage is a lead up to Cates' The King in Black event coming soon. I've liked what I've read by Cates.

Plus Batman Road to No Man's Land.
That's me for this week

That sucks!



Nice! I'm in cart limbo as we speak!

Good luck!
It probably doesn’t work this way, but I’m in a low population area with a carrier tower right in my town, so I like to pretend I get a better connection than others. Managed to also get a PS5 on my mobile network back in September. Trade off for isolation, I suppose.

How long was I down there for?
Is Rona still a thing?
I also got a DM cover of Excalibur Omnibus, DM variant cover of East of West Vol 3, and Papergirls DLX vol 3 (Christmas gift for someone).
I do want Road to No Man's Land and Super Sons but betting those will be available later. Too many books all at once and I suspect I'll want some books from next week (I think the next Berserk DLX will available next week).

Thank you, I'll keep an eye out!



FYI on IST the DM variant of East of West that I put in the wishlist oh so long ago, did not show up as available, but I was able to throw it in the cart from the New Releases. As such, don’t solely rely on your wishlist for availability.
Today was a big order for me $300+, but it felt really good. It felt to me as this was the first week since books got pushed around from Covid, that everything was normal; meaning: books that were suppose to drop did, they didn’t run out, and the selection was large.
Placed my orders well after 4 and all still available.
I’m still waiting on some large DCBS orders but I’m going to do another big preorder when December hits and then see how they fill out delivery.

I'm one of the few that purposely ordered the Excalibur regular cover I guess. Also bought the JLA Omni. Will probably order the East of West Exclusive next week.
I grabbed the JLA too. I like DM variants but was on the fence with Excalibur. When New Mutants Omni comes out soon, I’ll be going regular on that one for sure.

Road to No Man's Land was tempting, but I really just want a No Man's Land omnibus. The prelude material doesn't seem "essential" and of the same quality/acclaim as NML. Super Sons is also another maybe.
Did Criminal Deluxe v3 and JLI Omnibus v2 not release today?

For the Excalibur omni, Davis artwork for each and I would’ve been happy with either, but the DM just wouldn’t let go of my eye. Hopefully the British don’t mind some of my beloved mutants bursting through their flag.
I feel the same noelbeast, which is primarily why I picked the first issue cover. I’m a big fan of Davis so either would have been ok.
For New Mutants I’ll definitely be trying for the Sienkievicz cover regardless. He’s really the main reason I’m picking it up. I only have a few of those original issues left in my possession.

I'm very excited for the New Mutants omni. I have the 7 volume trade collection, but finally upgrading to a hardcover is a must for me. I've been slowly collecting all X-Men in omni/OHC. Just need X-Factor to get collected!

X-Factor is inevitable.

I just thought Gotham by Gaslight was ok. After reading the DLX I was happy with just having it versus an Absolute. I think I had it built up in my mind with too high expectations for it. The Bowen statue may have helped elevate my expectations. =)
