Published Sun, 15 Dec 2019 08:00:08 -0600

DC Comics has let retailers know that they have cancelled all orders for Absolute Fables Volume One but that the contents will be made available in a different format. Given that the Absolute format is over-sized hardcover-in-slipcase, it will be interesting to see what format will replace it. They have also cancelled orders for Batman: The Golden Age Omnibus Volume 8, promising that it will be resolicited at a later date. While orders for Superman: Man Of Steel Omnibus By John Byrne Volume 1 have also been cancelled and will be will be made available in a different format. As will the Legion Of Super-Heroes: The Road To The Legion trade paperback. Look at what you could have won…
