Sounds Amazing! I'm looking forward to it!

They sure got a lot of flak from the publisher...

After reading this article, I now realize that not only will I have to buy the version coming out today , but also an "Absolute" version that is bigger and with extra cool stuff that comes out early in 2008.Come On DC! This is a true event don't nickel and dime us( actually $25.00 and $75.00 us). This isn't fair just put out the book in the most complate format and then in a more affordable version. I pr-ordered this and don't want my local shop to be stuck with it , but if I was getting it elsewher, I would just wait.

Aren't there two versions being released today too?

[Wagner]

Yes , but I think that the only difference is the cover. One is blue and one is black and they have different graphics.

That is what I thought. Is one only for comic shops?

Excellent interview!

I hope the move to Top Shelf resolves all the problems so we can read new League stories with greater regularity.

On a side-note, I picked up my copy today and will be reading it tonight after I put the kids to bed. Can't wait. :)

Really interesting interview there. I'm seriously looking forward to this coming out. I hadn't realised, until reading that interview, that there was gonna be an absolute edition released later next year.

I'm definitely gonna wait for that to come out in early 2008. It's a shame it isn't out sooner but I can wait a bit longer to read it I suppose, I've already waited for what seems like an eternity. Besides, I ain't forking out for two copies.

I think the best part of the interview is that Moore expressed he would be writing more League after Century.

For a while there was a statement that Century was to be his last writing.

Anyone who's read BLACK DOSSIER want to discuss it in detail?


For instance, I think that though BD presents essentially the same concept as PROMETHEA's "Immateria," I think it works better in BD.

Agree? Disagree?

[The Confessor]

Haven't read it yet I'm afraid. Does anyone know if the deluxe "absolute edition" of The Black Dossier is out yet or even if it has a release date?

[Jankenstein]

July 8th, according to Amazon.

I just got the Absolute LOEG Vol. II. Well worth every penny.
