Absolute BATMAN YEAR ONE : A Close Look

A close look at the Absolute Edition of Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli's noir classic Batman:Year One. Apart from the usual top-of-the-line production extravaganza, this Absolute Edition features the same 4-part story in two very different versions: in its original, newsprint colors; and in a remastered, definitive recoloring.
We look at all the other major specs, from trim size, page extent, binding and the slipcase, to the ribbon bookmarks, and offer tiny bits of commentary and analysis - particularly on Richmond Lewis' colors, naturally - to accompany our close look at this edition.

Loved it, great work on the content, as always but great work on the sound design for this video. Bad audio, is a turn-off but thankfully that's not the case for your videos. One of my favorite parts of Year One doesn't even happen in the comics and it has helped change my outlook on the Batman & Robin relationship. Mazz mentions in 'The Dynamic Duo' page in the extras that superheroes are easy prey for revisionists and that Wertham had seen B&R's relationship as a metaphor for homosexuals but Mazz points out that these books were primarily written for young boys then and Wertham made the mistake of examining these comics with adult sensibility and without humor, something I'm sure many of us are guilty of when we come across these allegedly, suggestive panels.

This is my absolute favourite batman story. You’ve convinced me into buying the absolute edition. Great video man.

I loved the video. Great work once again. Just two beautiful books. I love the art of this book so much. Can't wait for the next video.

Amazing review! Everytime I look for a comic review, I'm hoping you have done a video.

The Killing Joke Absolute edition combines its two versions in a single absolute. Maybe because it is extremely low on page count, it makes sense to do that. But I prefer it slightly more than this 2 slim-absolutes route, simply because it feels a bit more wholesome and honest (one absolute edition (the final word as you put it) for everything - Bonus materials, different editions etc.)

Here's the video I was waiting for! I adore this product.
