I'm so happy to hear about this line, today has felt like a holiday for me! Thrilled DC is finally trying to give us a true equivalent to the Epics.

@litewait633 8 ай бұрын

If this finally gets us some classic Bronze Age Batman collections, I’m all for it.

@nicktroisi6347 8 ай бұрын

Honestly I hope DC Finest works out, I love that it has the Years highlighted on the back and on the spine. This line is gonna be so good for new readers and old readers, they collect a huge chunk of stories and are an alternative to Omnibuses

The labelling by years is really clever. Start with Barry Allen Flash and you don't have to worry whether it should be a volume 1 or whether there will be Jay Garrick volumes later down the line that should be numbered earlier. With the track record on discontinued lines anything they drop, which could be specific characters that aren't selling as well rather than the whole line, won't leave something like 2-3 and 7-10 are out ant that's all you get, same gaps but no numbers drawing attention to them.

I was thinking about Jay while looking at that mock up timeline stripe on the back, Silver Age starts in the middle, so it implies we'll be getting Golden Age comics in the same bookline at some point.

Really enjoyed this stream! Looking forward to the DC Finest line. Will get the first five, but would love some Perez JLA, Broderick Firestorm, Grell’s Warlord and some Bronze Age Superman (basically relive my childhood). Will also get DC vs. Marvel Omni. Just afraid the Elseworlds line will get lost in the shuffle. Like most people watching this channel, I’ll probably trade-wait. Keep up the awesome work Omar! Love this channel!!

I'll get Superman. From the look of the Flash mock up, on the back cover timeline stripe, I'm looking forward to the books before the Silver Age begins. What would I like to see in the future? JSA - All-Star Comics / All-Star Squadron / Infinity Inc / Legion of Super-Heroes / Fury of Firestorm the Nuclear-Man / Captain Carrot and the Zoo Crew / Omega Men Batman anything preCrisis on Infinite Earths / The New Teen Titans / Golden Age Captain Marvel, Captain Marvel Jr, and the Marvel Family / Charlton Comics / Arak Warlord / Arion Lord of Atlantis / Amethyst Princess of Gemworld / Creeper / Spectre / Madame Xanadu .. and a lot more. Best DC announcement in a long long time, I'm apprehensive and cautious, DC has burned fans a few times, hopefully this is the line that they commit to and sees profits and growth, only so many times people will keep giving them chances. Come on DC.

DC have launched lines with a cheaper price point on the initial releases before settling in to the regular price, the first Green Lantern and I think Superman releases in the Showcase Presents line spring to mind. They could well be doing a loss leader month of releases at $35 before settling into a $45 regular price.

I can't believe i'm finally gonna get that 1989 Catwoman mini series. They are probably using cheaper paper for these books hence the price. It's probably gonna be like those 3 Knightfall books or Superman Our Worlds at War book.

@Mortallica03 7 ай бұрын

I bought all those 3 Knightfall and got rid of them because of the cheap newspaper paper and got the 25th 9 volumes instead Hopefully they use the same paper that every New 52 TPB used

From Wikipedia Kentucky was a southern border state of key importance in the American Civil War. It officially declared its neutrality at the beginning of the war, but after a failed attempt by Confederate General Leonidas Polk to take the state of Kentucky for the Confederacy, the legislature petitioned the Union Army for assistance. Though the Confederacy controlled more than half of Kentucky early in the war, after early 1862 Kentucky came largely under U.S. control. In the historiography of the Civil War, Kentucky is treated primarily as a southern border state, with special attention to the social divisions during the secession crisis, invasions and raids, internal violence, sporadic guerrilla warfare, federal-state relations, the ending of slavery, and the return of Confederate veterans. Kentucky was the site of several fierce battles, including Mill Springs and Perryville. It was the arena to such military leaders as Ulysses S. Grant on the Union side, who first encountered serious Confederate gunfire coming from Columbus, Kentucky, and Confederate cavalry leader Nathan Bedford Forrest. Forrest proved to be a scourge to the Union Army in western Kentucky, even making an attack on Paducah. Kentuckian John Hunt Morgan further challenged Union control, as he conducted numerous cavalry raids through the state. Kentucky was the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln, his wife Mary Todd, and his southern counterpart, Confederate President Jefferson Davis. Lincoln had declared, early in the war, "I think to lose Kentucky is nearly the same as to lose the whole game." 35,000 Kentuckians served as Confederate soldiers; an estimated 125,000 Kentuckians served as Union soldiers. Approximately 24,000 Black Kentuckians, free and enslaved, served as Union soldiers.

Kurtis, Flash of Two Worlds was issue 123, not 137. 137 was a later GA / SA crossover. Omar, Eisner's The Spirit Archives was an example of DC following through with a complete run. The DCU Archives however ended before many runs' ends, with some exceptions (GA JSA was complete).

This is at least the 3rd time we've gotten Superman from the very start. Another period should have picked. Everything else is exciting. I hope this sticks. I've wanted an "Epic" version of DC titles (especially Bronze Age issues) for so long.

@collectingmemoriesyt 8 ай бұрын

I'm really interested to see what's going to happen with the DC Finest Green Lantern and the Jones run? I can understand why they wouldn't want to reprint his stuff (he's a monster, screw him) but he also did a near 4 year run on the character. With older collections you can release around his era but with these having the years on the spines are they just going to skip 1990 to 1994 for GL?

@kevinsmith8988 8 ай бұрын

Hey wasn't able to catch the livestream yesterday but regarding the DC vs Marvel Crossovers Omnibus Curtis is correct DC Special Series #27 is the Batman vs Incredible Hulk and in case anyone was curious Marvel Treasury Edition #28 is the second Spider-Man and Superman crossover

I was talking with my dad a couple months ago about how DC should rip off the Epic Collection format because it's such a nice way to collect and read stuff. As long as issues aren't omitted and the paper and print quality are up to snuff, I'm all the way in. Hope this line continues for years.

@HenrikKKristensen 8 ай бұрын

Aside from the obvious concern with DC about cancelling them, my primary concerns is size and/or paper quality. I don't want them TOO thick and the paper TOO thin. So I hope they don't make these +700 page, and used nice matte paper.

@jloost-gamer 7 ай бұрын

24:49 Omar: "I know I have a lot of viewers that don't like trade paperbacks, and I can see a lot of them skipping out on this." Funny thing is, I absolutely hate omnibuses for all the known downsides (too big, heavy, bulky, expensive [not per issue but per book]). Aside from that, they all look different from one another so it's not one, uniform line of comics (and I looove uniformity). I was so happy to discover the Marvel Epic Collections (through Omar and Kurtis!) and start collecting huge amounts of Marvel backlog through those. I will definitely start a collection of DC Finest later this year with these first volumes :D

@IRLYT 8 ай бұрын

I think these are some smart choices to start DC finest. GA Superman and SA Flash I skipped in omnis as the format is a little bit overkill for old stuff. The old DC archives were overkill too. I think this epic-like book hits the sweet spot between quality and price point. So far I'm in for all five. Only concern is DC's commitment to a long term plan. They've released so many lines and formats, one wonders if they'll commit to this one.

If DC does it seriously and with the same succes than Marvel Epics, I'll be very happy. I already have most of them, but interested by the Catwoman if they published all of Jim Balent's run, and maybe the Wonder Woman. Not a big fan of the writer (especially after how she jumped the gun with her criticizing of Mark Millar) but this era of the character is supposed to be good.

I'm in all 5 digitally, may get Batman in physical. I preorder nothing. I am extremely worried about DC actually sticking with the format as they have such a bad track record at this sort of thing. But one thing to keep in mind is that the second round of announcements should hit by the time these release or even before that. If it's radio silence on DC's part, I expect that to be all we need to know that this is yet another abandoned line.
