Exciting, I'll definitely be keeping an eye on these. I may even pick up the No Man's Land collection and sell my old copies...

**FHIZ** · 03-21-2011, 05:53 PM

I wonder what the "new editions" are.

**Scud** · 03-21-2011, 06:43 PM

An ogn written and drawn by Lee Bermejo? Saying I'm excited would be an understatement.

Yes, he was.

I don't know about anything else, but No Man's Land vol 1 is listed at 544 pages. It sounds like it will be (part of) a complete collection.

He worked with Doug Moench on the Batman & Detective titles at about the same time that Gene Colan did. Check out shaxper's Batman #300 & up reviews. (great artist, now deceased, unfortunately)

Legends of The Dark Knight- Marshall Rogers. Was he the artist who worked with Englehart in the 70's?

Yes, and he did other great work as well. This is evidently his work from LOTDK, hopefully including the excellent, until now uncollected "Siege" from 132-136.

Didn't they also leave out various issues from other series in the original trades? could be a "complete" edition I guess

but a 544 page book... damn, big for something considered normal and not an omnibus.

The prior collection was three volumes, I believe. The first two were actually Knightfall and the third was Knightsend (leaving out Knightquest, which came in between).

Perhaps they are combining volumes 1 & 2?

Isn't it No Man's Land not Knightfall?

Anyways, I probably have to get this (the paper quality better be higher quality than the original versions) and sell my older volumes.

Duh! It's past my bedtime.

Well, in that case, NML was four volumes. So maybe they're combining the first two volumes of that.

Five volumes, according to the list DC has on their web-site.

Either way, glad they're re-packaging No Man's Land--I missed that one and could never get the trades because some of the volumes are out of print.

**Jeff Brady** · 03-21-2011, 08:14 PM

The last NML editions came up to five volumes, each around 200 pages. A lot was left out.

What can I say? I was just going by memory. I have the originals. All of them. Including everything that was left out of the collections. And all of the tie-in books.
