[warren_sparta27]

hmmmm, wondering if i should just wait and get the Superman returns: The Prequels TP..?

[Arkady Rossovich]

Im keeping an eye out for the 52 TPB

[warren_sparta27]

that will be huge
Batman and the Monster Men was supposed to be very good wasn't it?

[Purple Man]

It was said that 52 isn't being collected in any way shape or form until next May.

Keep on waiting.

I'm tempted to get the Infinite Crisis hardcover just so I can see the deleted scenes.

[Dwarf lord]

They'll probably be all over the internet soon afterwards. Save your money. Especially seeing as they might not be good/cool/important.

[hippie_hunter]

The Infinite Crisis hardcover better have more than just the seven issues of the series, it has to include the specials and Secret Files and Origins.

!!!

[TheFalcon]

There's lots of good tpbs here and they don't even have the ones from Vertigo and Wildstorm.

Hopefully the Infinite Crisis one will include the Secret files issue.

I'll pick up these:

Batman & The Monster Men
Batman: Face the Face
JSA: Vol.11: Mixed Signals
Justice Vol.1
Superman: Up, Up And Away
Birds of Prey: The Battle Within
Green Lantern: Vol.2: Revenge of the Green Lanterns
Blue Beetle: Vol.1

I'm surprised Justice League Elite Vol.2 isn't listed. Did the first one sell that bad?
I have put off reading vol.1 for awhile until I get the second, but it looks like that won't be anytime soon.

[Binker]

October is the month where All Star Superman Vol. 1 comes out of the first 6 issues. Not only does that say that Morrison's run will be 12 issues but it also means that between now and October Issues 4-6 WILL come out.

Secondly, the only other TPB that caught my eye is that Helena Wayne/Huntress one.

Sold!

[Binker]

...deleted....scenes....?

[nite-owl]

From that list I'll probably get


Gotham centarl:quick and the dead
Superman:man of steel vol 5
The Spirit archive vol. 20
The new Teen Titans: terra incognita
Superman: the greatest stories ever told vol. 2

[Ultimate_Superman]

Once Again its a shame about All-Star Batman I mean that book should really be in the group I mean All-Star Superman came out 2 to about 3 months after that book and is getting a TPB.

[Elijya]

[nite-owl]

I'll probably get the DC New Frontier:absoulte edition one day, but I don't know what to do with the copies I have.
