I've been hoping for a DC One Million omnibus for a long time, and I'm so glad it's finally coming up. Not all tie-ins are good or relevant to the plot, but a lot of important stuff was missing from...
I'm enjoying this LotDK story, too, but I'd like to know if Milligan has anything else coming up now that Hellblazer got cancelled and his runs on Stormwatch and Red Lanterns are about to end. He's...
I'm still waiting for my copy to arrive, but I've got a question: does the TPB feature the same content as the hardcover version (issues #22-26, #28-31 and #1,000,000) or does it collect issues...
He's been surprisingly reliable since the New 52 relaunch, hitting all of his deadlines, but I figure a team book like JLA takes a lot more work, not to mention the first issue is oversized. I wonder...
I have no problems with the book's writing, other than some weird transitions in issue #3 and the questionable decision to interrupt the first arc to tell that Legion two-parter (which was probably...
If the page count at the Amazon link is correct, there's no way it can collect 13 issues. Unless DC resolicits it at a later date, I think it will only include issues #0-6.
Wow, lots of great stuff coming up, but I'm especially glad thad Brubaker's Catwoman run is finally getting a second extra-thick volume:

JLA #1,000,000 is pretty much DC One Million #2.5. It doesn't read well without the accompanying four-issue mini, so they might as well skip it.
Issues #18-21 and #27 are actually great...
When DC first announced the paperback version of volume 3, they said it would include JLA #18-31, which would be enough to fill 344 pages. I hope the solicitation copy was wrong about the content,...
I think Mandrakk and the corrupted Monitors are meant as metaphors for people in the industry who suck the life out of comic book universes by making them grim and devoid of imagination.
As I...
I finally got the Absolute today. While I loved what the extra pages added in terms of story, I wish they were better inked. I get that Doug Mahnke must have been pretty busy with Green Lantern at...
The good thing about original five No Man's Land TPBs was that they skipped most of the bad chapters. That's why I decided to keep them instead of buying the new, more comprehensive volumes, even...
I'm more partial to the theory that the cloaked furry guy from Final Crisis is the "monkey who wrote all stories", from Morrison's Animal Man run. He's briefly mentioned by Merryman in Superman...
Only the material from JLA Secret Files #3 is connected to Tower of Babel. Frankly, I could have done without the Talia-centric interlude, which really breaks the arc's flow, but the epilogue by Waid...
The Tower of Babel TPB also collects JLA #42 (a fill-in issue by D. Curtis Johnson and Mark Pajarillo), material from JLA Secret Files #3 (a Tower of Babel interlude by D. Curtis Johnson and Pablo...
I agree that the Brainiac/Metallo arc (issues #1-4 and #7-8) reads a lot better without the break between parts 4 and 5, and the two-parter with the Legion (#5-6) makes much more sense when you read...
If they had split Johns' run in two volumes, I think issue #23 (McKone's last, wrapping up the Doctor Light arc) would have worked well as a stopping point for volume 1.
Issues #27-28 were a...
Me, too. I wasn't interested in the book's premise, but King's involvement made me curious enough to check it out, and I was surprised to see I enjoyed Snyder's half of the first arc much more than...
From the beginning, Morrison said he had only worked out 16 issues, which I assume will now be 17 if you count #0. It's a shame he couldn't find some new ideas to extend his AC run just like his...
I'm disapointed that Shade will go straight to TPB, but I'm glad that the 3rd JLA TPB won't skip the fill-in issues by Waid and Millar, unlike the HC.
I'm not sure there will be extras, but it...
DC One Million is a rare example of a '90s DC crossover where essential story beats happen outside of the core mini series. While Morrison was only credited for writing the mini and JLA #1,000,000,...
Content-wise, in the case of Morrison's Batman and Robin run, yes. If you already own the 3 deluxe hardcovers, you'll get nothing new if you buy the Absolute, unless you really want to read the...
What puzzles me is that 384 pages should be enough to collect Ellis' last 14 issues plus Wildcats/Aliens. I wonder if that page count is right.
The TPB version of vol. 1 included two short Mark Millar stories from JLA Secret Files #1 that weren't reprinted in the HC, and that was it. Judging by the solicitation, the second TPB will feature...
