Up Down

So the big news today is that DC is releasing a bunch of previously uncollected or unpublished material under a DC Comics Presents line and Vertigo Resurrected.

The DC stuff is interesting, including some Young Justice issues that I didn’t think would see collection much and Jack Cross 1-4, a bit of a Warren Ellis thriller.

Here’s the full list, from the DCU blog (more info there, including description of these contents and pictures):

DC COMICS PRESENTS: BRIGHTEST DAY #1
Tales from HAWKMAN #27, 34 and 36, SOLO #8, DCU HOLIDAY ‘09 and STRANGE ADVENTURES #205.

DC COMICS PRESENTS: ETHAN VAN SCIVER #1
Collecting BATMAN AND CATWOMAN: TRAIL OF THE GUN #1 and 2

DC COMICS PRESENTS: SUPERMAN #1
Collecting SUPERMAN #179-185 and SUPERMAN: MAN OF STEEL #121

DC COMICS PRESENTS: JACK CROSS #1
Features JACK CROSS #1-4

DC COMICS PRESENTS: BATMAN #1
Collecting BATMAN #582-585

DC COMICS PRESENTS: YOUNG JUSTICE #1
Collecting the JLA: WORLD WITHOUT GROWN-UPS 2-issue miniseries

DC COMICS PRESENTS: GREEN LANTERN #1
Collecting GREEN LANTERN #137-140

And from the Vertigo Blog:

So why not dig through the archives and bring some of them back? Welcome to VERTIGO RESURRECTED – a series of one-shots and specials geared to do just that–embrace history and stories that connect with the present day activities of our favorite protagonists, antagonists and creators.

“Shoot,” Warren Ellis’s much-talked about, but never published, HELLBLAZER story involving schoolyard killings leads this mega-sized VERTIGO RESURRECTION special.

Also included are rarely seen tales exploring the disturbing depths of horror, war, romance and science fiction by Brian Azzarello, Grant Morrison, Garth Ennis and artists Jim Lee, Phil Jimenez, Bernie Wrightson, and others. Cover by Tim Bradstreet.

VERTIGO RESURRECTED #1 On Sale October 20 / 96 pages / $7.99

Warren Ellis (who is represented well in both areas!) posted a little commentary over at his blog that you might be interested in.

A commenter wonders if we’ll ever get to see that Swamp Thing meets Jesus arc. I’m still crossing my fingers that we’ll get to see ANY Swamp Thing collected past where the last softcovers went.

Anyway, about these collections in specific – it’s good stuff! I think it’s a great idea to do a DC Presents line.

However, I think these are floppy collections, right? They’re not squarebound like prestige format releases? I’m honestly not sure, but I know FC means full color. I’m guessing because of the price point, the issue style numbers, and how they were solicited here.

Damn shame, because I don’t buy anything that isn’t at least a prestige – and I hope that Jack Cross being collected in that format, for example, wouldn’t keep it from being collected in a nice little squarebound format.

I might be totally wrong though. I kind of hope I am, because I’d love for there to be a little 7.99 introductory graphic novel line.

What do you guys think of this news? I’m linking this one to a forum thread. :)

    FC = Full Color. As opposed to BW or B&W for Black & White.

    Yeah, if these were trades that would be awesome. But even if they’re not, the fact that they’re reprinting them in the floppy format bodes well for an eventual trade release. Or at least, it bodes better than when they weren’t being reprinted in any form at all.

    What this reminds me of more than anything is a series Marvel used to do a few decades ago called Marvel Super Heroes. It was basically a series where they would just print inventory material. Oftentimes, they would print the previously unpublished final issues of series that had been canceled prior to those issues shipping (for example, Ms. Marvel and Adam Warlock).

    Anyhow, this is good news no matter how it turns out. Collections of any kind are better than no collections at all!

    Hi would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re working
    with? I’m looking to start my own blog soon but I’m having a difficult time selecting between
    BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason
    I ask is because your design and style seems different then
    most blogs and I’m looking for something unique. P.S My apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
