Upcoming Batman Collections

[FHIZ]

I could have sworn this was brought up already somewhere, but can't find it

can we all take notice of how f'ing terrible the Black Mirror trade cover is?

WHAT?! I hope to god that doesn't stick. For one, I feel like it's a terrible idea to use those "iconic" covers being that they're just dull, and tons of whitespace doesn't usually look appealing most of the time, and second what the hell is wrong with the Batman logo? Why is it blurry? And why is the N deformed?

Just use the 871 cover, it's perfect for a trade as well.

I was thinking this exact same thing (including using the cover for 871) when surfing Amazon today.

[Dean MD]

Yeah, does anyone have any info whatsoever if they plan on including Road to No Man's Land AND Cataclysm in this new reprint? That would be amazing.

That would make my year!

Also, I could have SWORN I went into a random comic shop a few months back and I saw a trade that FINALLY collected all of the Jason Todd stories post-crisis pre-death. I can't remember what it was called and made a mental note that doesn't serve me well at the moment. Anyone have a clue what I'm referring to?

I don't know, but that trade is only 160 pages and says it features stories about the three Robins, so I doubt it.

Amazon's cover are not always the real one, sometimes it is just promotional images.

[Sean Walsh]

Amazon's cover are not always the real one, sometimes it is just promotional images.

Nah, that cover has too many changes to it (the title text up top, and credits) to be just a promotional one. Usually, Amazon placeholder covers are either very generic or just some old cover.

The Black Mirror writing over the faded Batman text looks a little off putting, but it's nice. Though I liked #871's cover image better, this one makes a little more sense (use the one with the big Bat-logo, of course) and still is a good image anyway.

[SpideyZERO]

I doubt that's the final cover, Amazon does this a lot. Before the official cover for Batman VS Robin Vol 2 was revealed, Amazon used the one with Batman fighting against Robin

[The Beast Of Yucca Flats]

Was NML any good? I've heard the story got a little bloated and long winded.

Larry Hama's material was pretty much terrible (thankfully, there wasn't much of it), but I don't remember having any other real complaints.

Interesting. If it's an actual oversized deluxe edition rather than just a reprint I will definitely be picking it up.

[jgiannantoni05]

and BRAVE AND BOLD #153-165,

I think this means to say 153, 156 and 165. Cuz those are the only B&B stories Newton did. Not the rest in the solicit.

[MrHalfawake]

I imagine they'll try and squeeze with a Volume 3 tales from No Man's land or somethimg

but yeah Ill be getting a few of these
