Upcoming Batman Collections

[Mace Dolex]

So, did anyone get the Year One Deluxe Hardcover? Is the coloring really that bad?

I only just skimmed though it at my LCS, didn't really notice the colors good enough but it basically looks the same as the anniversary edition only slightly larger.

What pisses me off is that they'll probably still be recolored. I don't care about the cost.

i hear that. you either have to buy the original issues (can be pricey) or multiple collections to get his original awesome art minus the recoloring blemishes - and even then not all the issues have been reprinted

Batman: The Dark Knight Archives Vol. 8

Came to post this one. Nice to see Archives starting to pick up pretty hard- that's apparently nine this year, which is really friggin' good compared to years past.

Also, the Batman Chronicles will apparenlty reprint Detective Comics #82-85, Batman #20-21, and World's Finest Comics #12. From what I can tell, there's nothing really historically important about those issues.

Im worried about getting some of the new collections as Ive heard that recent dc collections are of poor quality.

That's false .in terms of paper and durability they are pretty nice

Naturally with The Dark Knight Rises coming out soon, so is a new Knightfall trade. I've always held off getting the current trades because the paper quality was always pretty bad. But definitely tempted to get this one, especially seeing as it's 600 pages.

Can someone familiar with the story tell me what this includes. I know it has a bunch of previously uncollected issues. But at 600 pages, does it also cover 2 or even 3 of the current trades?

The "new edition" Knightfall volume 1 will basically contain the same contents as the first 2 volumes of the old collections, "Broken Bat" and "Who Rules the Night". The one new addition in the new edition volume 1 will be the "Vengeance of Bane" one shot, which is Bane's origin. There is still some other background material that is not being collected (such as the debut of Azrael, and the issues leading up to Knightfall when Bruce's exhaustion and burn out started to take effect), so I'm holding out hope those issues will someday be collected. (The 4 part miniseries that introduced Azrael, Sword of Azrael, actually was collected, but is long out of print. I think that mini, plus the uncollected issues of Batman and Detective leading up to Knightfall, would make for a nice "volume 0" trade.)

The new edition volume 2, Knightquest, will contain 100% previously uncollected material. This trade will cover Jean Paul (Azrael)'s time filling in as Batman "The Crusade", and it will also show what Bruce was up to at the time "The Search".

The new edition volume 3, KnightsEnd, will contain the same contents as the old KnightsEnd trade, but as a bonus it will also reprint the contents of the long out of print Prodigal trade, which was the story of Dick Grayson filling in as Batman briefly post KnightSaga.

I actually read all of this in single issues as it was originally released. I was only 10-12 years old as these issues came out and had just recently become a fan after seeing the animated series. I have very fond memories of reading these issues, and these new editions are very attractive to me and I plan on getting all 3.

A Fourth volume of NML? Wouldnt everything be collected as of Vol 3? save a few odd issues but if they were included in a Vol 4 theyd be out of order.
