I like how objective and descriptive you were, without spoiling any of the story. The comparison of deluxe editions to absolutes was a nice bonus too.

[@PontusPresents]

You have some amazing production quality!

[@ricardorios2355]

I think it's a cost thing and not having guaranteed buyers. The reason we got these are because of the show. These would not exist in their current state without the show.

[@TheDeluxeEdition]

I think we would have eventually gotten an Absolute as they never went for the Deluxe/OHC route but I agree the TV show influenced speeding up the timeline for this release.

Yuup

[@rayanknezic8682]

Thank god they did

[@TheMozerfok]

That INTRO GOD DAMN!!!!!!!!!! Great work man!!!!!!!!!

[@TheDeluxeEdition]

Thanks!!

[@srikantdas3338]

Sir , this is Feb 2022, but this 3yr old video had solved my problems. Thanks for it , I would be happy if you make same kind of video for "Boys".

[@zesuper]

This is exactly what I needed to know how to buy. THANKS!

[@spartanboosts]

Great video! I already have absolute 1 + 2 and just found out today...been living under a rock...that 3 is out. Gotta order right away!

[@PeterXHinoul]

Absolutely amazing renditions for a comic book series!

[@Jota1602_]

No tengo palabras para describir lo increíble que es el video. Lo único malo es que termina, porque podría durar horas y seguir siendo increíble. Un saludo crack.

[@TheDeluxeEdition]

Muchas Gracias!!!

[@robertw5391]

I kept mine. Sold sandman. Takes a lot of space!

[@turtleanton6539]

Best preacher video !😊

[@JakeTheComicBookDude]

I read the entire Preacher series from the library almost 2 years ago, I own issue Preacher #14. I also got 2 issues of Punisher MAX by Garth Ennis, I plan on getting The Boys comic sometime, never read before but I’ve only seen the show.

[@davew39]

Another amazing video review Aleks! The quality and content gets better every time. Was holding off on getting these, but you're not helping! Did not know it was a spin off of Hellblazer. The character art is so similar! I honestly have no idea. DC boggles the mind sometimes. It's like you say, they're not meant to be budget friendly and only the hardcore fans will dish out for an Absolute. To me, they're as much for display as for reading. There's nothing worse than paying that premium and discovering you have glued pages. Dark Horse is really amazing with their Library Editions. Both Sin City and Hellboy are right up there in quality with Preacher and Sandman. Almost thought your friend wouldn't make a cameo lol sneaky!

[@TheDeluxeEdition]

Thanks so much Dave!!! I really appreciate this feedback!! Fingers crossed if the manufacturing process doesnt produce any defects with Absolute Swamp Thing & Transmetropolitan vol.3

[@user-df9fd3jh1c]

DAAAMN ._. How good they are!!

[@sovik4469]

Another great video

[@TheDeluxeEdition]

Thanks man!

[@moistymorgz4653]

PLEASE do a collection video!!

[@forgerelli1]

I'm a big hardcover collector and I bring them to comic cons to get signed. I've been told by multiple creators that DC doesn't do a good job on their collected edition because they just don't care. Maybe (hopefully) that will change, and they are better than they were, but it's been pretty evident over the last 10-15 years.

[@TheDeluxeEdition]

forgerelli1 They have been putting great releases but creators and readers alike do get disappointed when they put out generic editions. I imagine the next A++ treatment DC will give us would be the Absolute Sandman Overture edition but personally really looking forward to Transmetropolitan vol.3

[@forgerelli1]

I wasn't sure they were going to even put out volume 3 of Transmet. It's long over due.

[@Xer0sama]

I think it's a matter of Gravitas. The only Absolute I have so far is Sinestro Corp War. It's a fantastic little story, but it just lacks the impact of something like Kingdom Come.

[@OddManOutInc.]

Nice video! We need Alan Moore’s Swamp Thing Absolutes!

[@TheDeluxeEdition]

That's an instant buy for me....

[@josepholsen7450]

coming in October. it was supposed to be out in june, but got pushed

[@turtleanton6539]

Its out!

[@user-mf8oy4xd8i]

that intro tho, you could have added the credits similar to the actual intro but i’ll take what i can get

[@josepholsen7450]

I am so close to being convinced to buy this, however I'm thinking of doing Transmetropolitan absolute first...

[@TheDeluxeEdition]

Both are amazing runs!

[@rayanknezic8682]

Man the dilemma.... It's hard I just ordered all absolute preacher editions my banker is going to be surprised

[@Venserql]

Price isn't an issue but I can't decide which one to get. Absolute looks nice but it's huge so the other one might be better for reading experience.

[@TheDeluxeEdition]

I personally find absolutes easier to read than omnis if that helps you... it’s like the weight distribution it’s more dispersed.

[@Metroidam11]

What do you think about the anniversary edition coming out later this year? Should I hold out for those or pick up these? Thanks!

[@TheDeluxeEdition]

We will see once it’s released but I don’t think I’ll be giving up my Absolutes for the Omnis.

[@noahhorne6328]

I love my absolute preachers little annoyed my vol1 is a little scuffed since it’s been in a warehouse for two years before I bought it how do you compare the transmrtropolitan absolutes to theses?

[@TheDeluxeEdition]

Damn.. sorry to hear it being scuffed. Absolute Transmetropolitan from my experience suffered from stuck/glued pages. It's on the same level as Y: The Last Man.

[@noahhorne6328]

The Deluxe Edition unfortunately there was no point trying to get another one just ordered the first volume of transmet from amazon so fingers crossed did you use amazon?

[@TheDeluxeEdition]

For Transmetropolitan, I believe I used Amazon for the same day delivery.

[@noahhorne6328]

The Deluxe Edition do they package well for absolutes I know for omnis it isn’t great

[@claudianreyn4529]

I have a question. If I watch the Netflix series it will spoil the books? What should I do?

[@mr_pie_101]

It's an amc series

[@mr_pie_101]

And it won't

[@danbell1451]

I bought all nine original trade paperbacks 40 bucks

[@TheDeluxeEdition]

Nice!

[@JohnGeometresMaximos]

@@TheDeluxeEdition I would get these if Seth Rogen wasn't involved. He's unfunny and a major PoS. I'll probably get the 2vol Omnibus.

[@sugarray6250]

Is this going out of print? The price has shot up and is out of stock on Amazon.

[@TheDeluxeEdition]

Hi! Not to my knowledge and just checked Amazon US and they seem to be all available from them still under cover. All three volumes still available on In Stock Trades as well.

[@sugarray6250]

@@TheDeluxeEdition Thank you for the reply. Yes, I'm not from America. I'm from the UK and here its out of stock. Perhaps I'll ship it from America if worst comes to worst. Its my favourite series so I don't want to miss out on this beauty.

[@lukawalli]

these are pretty cheap atm...you can get them all for around 240 bucks (70-80$ each). I really love them, but like all A.E. you kinda need a book stand to read them without hurting yourself haha

[@turtleanton6539]

Read on a table

[@conserveculture1767]

I only got the second one so far they are expensive

[@turtleanton6539]

REALLY expensive

[@manikgupta1025]

Haha that arseface intro..

[@rayanknezic8682]

Expensive as hell but will be worth more in 5 to 10 years it's an investment and beautiful art they should do this with every vertigo or DC Comic book but one can dream

[@blaize4482]

Hey! I know your comment is a year old, but what makes you say this? However I completely agree, and this is one of the small reasons i'm getting into comics. Only because so many were made, they're the best possible edition these volumes come in?

[@rayanknezic8682]

@@blaize4482 yes ! These are unavailable today for many, atleast. Not that I would ever sell these masterpieces. But I think it's the best way to enjoy the art and it really does every one justice. The artwork is incredible, lettering, covers. If you find it...buy it ! Haha

[@blaize4482]

@@rayanknezic8682 Well good news, I did manage to buy it! I got all 3 volumes in Absolute for a pretty good price too :) I agree, A lot of people say 'why buy absolute before you've even read them, because you might not like it' but it's about enjoying the whole book for me, not only the story but the artwork, and I want to experience that in its best form. So I'm trying to get every comic that I'm interested in, in Absolute or whatever the best possible form is available.

[@rayanknezic8682]

@@blaize4482 exactly how I ses it, man. Dig the absolute sandman it's really Amazing.

[@blaize4482]

@@rayanknezic8682 Totally! Funny you say that, I was tossing between Preacher and Sandman, I think sandman will be the next one I am for in absolute form :) Can't wait to read those. Are you from the US? Because absolutes are super expensive here in Australia, and most are OOP or extremely rare and overpriced. Not sure how much things cost to get shipped from the US/UK to Australia, but then also you have to convert USD to AUD.. i just wish there was an easier way, we don't have anything like mycomicshop or instocktrades here sadly..

[@tenamaxcreek2520]

I got all three not too long ago and my second volume is already falling apart. Great story but damn horribly built. Perhaps I just got a bad one.

[@jordanthomas4379]

I only purchased the first preacher absolute because I got a deal for 50% off. Whilst I’ll certainly say the production values are beyond beautiful, the story I found to be really childish and outright stupid at times, it seemed to be very dated, this is from the 90’s after all, I suspect this was Garth Ennis channeling his inner teen angst with a strong dash of cringe.

[@turtleanton6539]

Yeah

very skillful cover art but very weak drawing inside.
