8 More Absolute/Omnibus Books from DC Comics, from Flashpoint to Before Watchmen
We've been looking at DC Comics' Omnibus and Absolute plans today. Absolute volumes reproduce original art for stories as close to the original boards as possible, including in size. Omnibus is also a bit oversized and containing hundreds, even thousands of pages.
Such as Red Hood & The Outlaws by Scott Lobdell and Final Crisis 10th Anniversary. There's also an American Vampire Omnibus on the way too. And Absolute Kingdom Come is getting a reprint. And Absolute Killing Joke, of course.
But here are a few new ones too. Absolutes and Omnibuses that DC Comics haven't solicited yet.
