Not the A storyline, but it's apparently personally curated by Hickman to be those 19 issues condensed into 1 small format? Not really sure. It's just streamlined to fit in 340 pages.
@starscream1988boss2 күн бұрын
@@ReaperXC Yeah just like Dom explained. It is really more apparent with novelist like Stephen King, James Paterson, Lee Child and all those authors. They will get rid of side charesters that really do not do much for the story. Like with king the Unabridged The Stand is over 1100 pages. But the Abridge version is 800 plus pages. Its weird to see it in a comic though. I have never read this story line as I have not like FF in quite a few years. It would be interesting to see the original books and this TPB to see what they cut out.

Marvel continuing to raise their prices is a huge problem for me. There’s no reason a standard TPB should be $25. If this is going to be the norm for them I’m going to cut Marvel all together.

My advice for people reading Golden Age, or most Silver Age comics for the first time, is don't treat it like a graphic novel that you have to read all the way through. It was never meant to be read like that. Read a story or two, toss a bookmark in it, and read something else for a while. Then come back to it with fresh eyes. Rinse and repeat.

Thanks, Dom, for all you are doing to support these books! For those who are thinking of trying this or other volumes from long ago, but have little or no experience with Golden Age comics, listen to what Dom said about newspaper strips and read the stories in that manner. Anytime a scene shifts or there’s even a hint of “what’s going to happen next?”, let your brain relax, maybe even look away or take a drink of water and treat it as daily or weekly newspaper strip - that part is over - then engage with the next part. I’ve read comics for over 55+ years and it’s the only way I can really do it. Most of all, remember these were intended for children 85+ years ago. They’re not going to “hold up”, if read through the lens of modern stories, but they are incredibly important to the genre we all know and love.

It would have been better to present the stories in the correct chronological order and not following the publication order.
@DomofXStudio4 күн бұрын
@FransEsquéEnglund I understand being upset that it's not in chronological order, but as someone who isn't looking to read everything complete from a head-on, "this goes first before this" mentality, I really have no issue with the way that they've mapped them via publication order. I think the point of the line is to get everything out in order, anyways; not meant to read them from the beginning of Batman history to the end of time in one go with how messy continuity gets after everything is merged onto one Earth. But I hear you!

Great overview, Dom! I read the first issue of Action Comics and loved it; I really love this particular Superman and how much more brash and sarcastic he is. I'm still working out my DC Finest collecting strategy, but I'm thinking this may be the only Golden Age Superman volume I'll end up getting, along with maybe 1 silver age, with my main focus being on Bronze Age and eventually the Triangle Era.
@DomofXStudio4 күн бұрын
@CinematicGalaxy Thank you so much for the words on the overview! I am willing to see how much Superman jumps around with the very much different tones, settings, and quality each era gives us. I do much prefer what I've read in this volume over Silver Age content, but it is nice to hear that with the next volume being Bronze Age, they are moving around and not just staying at one moment's worth of time. Let me know how that collection goes! I really do want to get the Superman: Triangle Era Years Omnibus at some point and do a review of it on my channel.
