Although I love the Absolute format, I just wish the books weren't printed in China. Personally I just don't like the paper and ink they use there.
Is there an Absolute Year One?
"Batman: Year One" would probably be a little too light for an Absolute edition. I think they could do a volume compiling a greatest hits type book though and wouldn't be surprised if they did. I'd like a HC edition of "Batgirl: Year One". Doubt they would do a Absolute of it, but it's one of, if not my favorite Year One stories.
do you have to pay for this?? i'm a barnes and noble member, but i don't ever recall seeing an Absolute book on their shelves. my LCS has 25% off all graphic novels in the store, but 40% is worth checking out for sure.If you have a Borders bookstore near you, I highly recommend that a). You get the Borders rewards card and b). check your email regularly. I just got an email with a 40% off any book in the store coupon good till Monday. I plan for when these coupons come out because it's when I get all my fancy art, movie and reference books. I know Borders carry Absolute books, might be a good time to get out there and do some hunting.
well they are putting the Green Lantern : Rebirth (6 issues) story in Absolute so i don't think length is an issue as long as they include a lot of extras that will help offset the price of the book."Batman: Year One" would probably be a little too light for an Absolute edition.

I don't even think the regular hardcover is still in print, and I can't bring myself to buy a paperback.

yeah i agree it is rather light on the material, but the GL: Rebirth retail price has been adjusted accordingly because that's also a really small book. i really just want these books because these are supposed to be THE versions to own of the respective books."Batman: Year One" is only 4 issues. I've got the HC, and even with all the extras, it's pretty slim. I'm not sure it'd work for the Absolute format either.
Promethea (I really like this Alan Moore series, fantastic art too)
i haven't read much DC other than Batman and Green Lantern so i haven't read it. is this worth picking up in Absolute???Absolute JUSTICE coming november 17!!!

totally agree!!! just wanted to know about the story, but i'll find out when the book arrives.Anything with Ross' art is worth it just for the art alone.

With the new V for Vendetta book coming out next week i'm on the quest to add some of these books to my shelf. right now i've only ordered two off of ebay with the 10% discount (Batman Long Halloween and the Dark Knight--will probably get Hush this month too) , but i'd really like some feedback on some of the other ones.
i ordered the Green Lantern: Rebirth on amazon, but what's the consensus on
Superman : For Tomorrow and the Kingdom Come books???
I've got most of the Absolutes, but I've been looking for the Authority and Planetary ones for a decent price.
Thanks man, but I just spent my wad. Kingdom Come just arrived, Long Halloween is supposed to be here tomorrow or monday, and Dark Knight will be here whenever the D-bag from Ebay sends it. I won the auction on Aug. 18 and I just got a message YESTERDAY that he was mailing it out.Hey bro,
I've got a lot of the Absolute versions, from all the Batman ones, to Kingdom Come, Superman for Tomorrow, New Frontier, etc.
I've got nothing bad to say about them
If you can, go to Borders.
Especially this week, there's a buy 4, get one free for graphic novels... and technically, these are in their graphic novel section, so you should be able to take advantage.
