Absolutes, Omnibuses And Other Collections From DC Comics In 2016

In 2016, alongside the new AMC TV show, Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon‘s Preacher gets the Absolute treatment with Absolute Preacher Vol. 1 collecting #1-26 for $150 and new bonus material (also The Demon: The Longest Day continues the recent collection of Ennis’s work with Etrigan, in August.)

While fellow Vertigo stablemate, Y The Last Man gets a second volume with Absolute Y: The Last Man Vol 2 by Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra collecting #21-40 for $125

Recently splurged on eBay for the deluxe hardcovers of both Preacher and Y:The Last Man. So nice.

I can only assume you are getting zero by adding the movies up and counting the horrendous third one as -4 or -5.

Is that Loki in the trailer? Sansa sounds exactly like Sansa; it is going to be distracting.

No...I mean that there has never really been a good X-movie. First Class came the closest. I cut my teeth on the Claremont era Death of Thunderbird time period...so that's a high bar admittedly, but the movies have been a series of miscalculations that had NONE of the drama or excitement that period contained. I blame Singer particularly. But Rattner(who was given a flawed project and made it worse) did no favors. Matthew Vaughn got close, but that movie was overlong killing any momentum it may have had...and basically dabbling a toe in the excellent Hellfire Club material, just enough to disappoint anyone who read that arc. So yeah...XMEN is like Hellraiser, a series of movies with good to great moments sprinkled throughout...but not a cohesive and representative movie in the bunch.

I feel exactly the same. I actually enjoyed the first two movies when they came out, but watching them now, they do nothing for me.

I do still like First Class, but almost solely because of Fassbender and McAvoy. The rest of it... meh.

I'll watch this on a movie channel once it gets there.
