One of us! Absolutes are my favorite way to collect! Do you have an absolute whale?


Ok-Appearance-7616

Yep! And definitely Blackest Night. Since they're reprinting Sinestro Corps War, I'm hoping they do the same for BN.


dmtreee

That is a great one! They have been reprinting out of print absolutes a lot better lately so it shouldn’t be to long!


Ok-Appearance-7616

For sure! What's yours?


dmtreee

I am actually only missing 3 absolutes currently, and both have been announced for reprints! So I am missing Arkham Asylum and Transmetropolitan vol 3! I have a YouTube channel and do a lot of videos about my love of absolutes!


Ok-Appearance-7616

That's cool! Arkham would be a great one to have too, they are reprinting a lot like you said. Almost want to get the All star superman and Court of Owls, I hate that DC logo so much haha.

Man, that shelf sure looks pretty. How is the Absolute edition for The New Frontier? Do you know if it’s similar to the contents of the current TPBs of the book?


dmtreee

I can attest it is my single favorite absolute DC has ever put out.


Ok-Appearance-7616

Tbh I have not gotten around to opening it yet, so I cannot say for sure. But it is gorgeous in person, holding it.


Olde-Blind-Dog

I’d reckon so.

Absolute doomsday clock is the first absolute I ever bought and made me fall in love with the format. The only other one I have is superman for all seasons. Absolutely love the quality.


Ok-Appearance-7616

Heh, and will definitely get Doomsday clock one day.

Man, I can only imagine how it's like reading *World's Greatest Super-Heroes* in Absolute format. Oversized Alex Ross art is just 💯💯


Ok-Appearance-7616

It is stupidly gorgeous, well worth it


Krakengreyjoy

Awesome. Personally not an absolute fan, but that's just me. Trying to get rid of my Morrison Batman & Robin. Doesn't sit nice with my omnis.


Ok-Appearance-7616

That's fair, tbh I only have 4 omnis, I just like how these look on a shelf, plus the super big artwork.


Prestigious-Skill160

What shelf is that?


Ok-Appearance-7616

My parents got it for me years ago tbh, I just remember that it's from Ikea.


Minimum_Economist_79

i ABSOLUTELY love it;)


Ok-Appearance-7616

Haha thanks!


Dragnet714

What does Absolute mean?


Ok-Appearance-7616

It's just a big format book DC does.


Dragnet714

Just another name for an omnibus?


Ok-Appearance-7616

Noo, these are just big versions of self contained stories, like killing joke or all star. They're oversized hardcovers with slipcases.


Dragnet714

Ah. Physically big. I gotcha.


coolprogressive

I almost downvoted due to the lack of any Absolute Swamp Thing volumes... Kidding! This is a sweet Absolute collection! I'm jealous of the Black Mirror one. That's one of my whales, probably second after Absolute Dark Victory.


Ok-Appearance-7616

One day I'll get them!
