"Superman: The Triangle Era Omnibus Vol. 1" in September 2024

collects Superman #49-64; Adventures of Superman #472-486; Action Comics #659-673; Superman: The Man of Steel #1-8.

"Deathstroke: The Terminator by Marv Wolfman Omnibus Vol. 1" in December 2024, which is pretty much what the trade paperbacks collected a few years ago, if I'm not mistaken

Collects Deathstroke (1991 series) #1-26; Deathstroke Annual #1-2; The New Titans #70; Superman #68; and stories from Showcase '93 #6-11.

Holy moly. What's going on in DC's Collected Editions department? They finally seem to be putting some serious resources into it. Just a few days ago the solicitations showed that hardcovers and softcovers of current runs will be released simultaneously, for example Ram V’s Detective Comics. And they also release the interjacent volumes too, so that the releases can sync up quickly and no softcovers are skipped. Which is a game changer for paperback readers.

And now all those omnibus editions? Awesome! (there's also Aquaman by Peter David, Secret Six by Gail Simone, Flash by William Messner-Loebs and a bunch more in the next few months)

That's a big change. For a few years now the softcovers trailed the hardcovers by 1 year. And sometimes they even got cancelled entirely on short notice.

Now it seems that DC will release a bunch of books simultaneously as hardcover and softcover, for example Ram V's Detective Comics. And they also release the interjacent volumes too, so that the releases can sync up quickly and no softcovers are skipped.

As a softcover reader this is the best news since Rebirth (when almost everything was released as softcover).

For reference, the best thing I have read in a long time was DC vs. Vampires. On the other hand, I have not managed to finish the slog that is Dark Crisis.

I'm a big fan of 90s comics and I think it's a pity that the vast majority of it has never been (and probably will never be) collected in paperback. I'm currently reading through some old Legends of the Dark Knight issues that I managed to track down, and I really liked this panel so I wanted to share it with you. 🙂

Actor Julian Sands who went missing several months ago in the San Gabriel Mountains in California has been found, and sadly, the news is not good. Some remains were found in the area on Saturday, and it has now been confirmed that they belong to Mr. Sands.

Julian Sands played Clark Kent’s Kryptonian father, Jor-El, in two episodes of Smallville… “Kandor” and “Abandoned.” Beyond Smallville, he was known for a number of high-profile projects including Warlock, 24, and A Room With A View.

He was only 65 years old. Our deepest sympathies go out to those who had known and loved him.

I really enjoyed the recent P.O.V. issue. Bruno Redondo's art has been such a treat in this run. Such a talented artist! What do others think?
