12 More DC Big Books: Omnibuses, Deluxes, and Unwrappeds

Published Thu, 15 Mar 2018 17:00:51 -0500

We mentioned the new Essential Line earlier, and the Absolute Killing Joke, but there are plenty of other big books spilling out of DC listings on Amazon and Penguin's websites for late 2018 — and even a little of 2019 already. Here's a few of note beyond the expected reprints and collections, and there are more to come!

Red Hood & the Outlaws by Scott Lobdell Omnibus Vol. 1 Hardcover – October 16, 2018
by Scott Lobdell and Kenneth Rocafort

Scott Lobdell's bestselling RED HOOD AND THE OUTLAWS stories from the New 52 relaunch is collected here in its entirety for the first time ever in RED HOOD AND THE OUTLAWS: THE NEW 52 OMNIBUS!

No sooner has Batman's former sidekick, Jason Todd, put his past as the Red Hood behind him than he finds himself cornered by a pair of modern day outlaws: Green Arrow's rejected sidekick Arsenal, the damaged soldier of fortune, and the alien Starfire, a former prisoner of intergalactic war who won't be chained again. As a loner, Jason has absolutely no interest in this motley crew of outlaws. So what's he going to do when they choose the Red Hood as their leader?

With dynamic pencils from Kenneth Rocafort (SIDEWAYS), RED HOOD AND THE OUTLAWS quickly become one of the breakout hits of 2011's New 52 relaunch. Collected here in this oversize omnibus edition are every story from Lobdell's first run with the title, as well as tie-in issues from the TEEN TITANS and BATMAN series! Collects RED HOOD AND THE OUTLAWS #0-27 and ANNUAL #1, TEEN TITANS #16 and BATMAN #17.
