As I stated yesterday on the CCL Blog, I was going to review the DC Comics Classics Library Justice League of America by George Perez Volume 1 (of 2). It’s a fine book; in of itself, but the more I looked at it, the more I thought that both Volumes should be collected into a book similar to that of the Neal Adams Library (Batman 1-3, DC Universe 1). Not only that but the whole program looks to be all over the spectrum: Golden Age, Silver Age, half done series, complete series, reprints of reprints, and two that should be a part of the DC Archive Editions not their own Volume One. Today I try to figure out just what DC has created and what it intends to do with this format how it compares to the Marvel counterpart and what I would do differently.

Also on the show I talk about DC books announced at the Diamond Retailer Summit including the Wednesday Comics Hardcover, Absolute Planetary Volumes 1 and 2, and other books such as DC Greatest Imaginary Stories Volume 2: Batman & Robin, Showcase Presents Suicide Squad Volume 1 and even the Blackest Night Hardcover.

All this and the New Releases of the Week.

It’s been in along time in the making, but it’s finally here – my big DC New Frontier Podcast. Today on the show I go over everything that is involved including The Absolute, the 2-Disc DVD and the New Frontier Special. All the contents, all the extras and even the action figures, Solo #5 and more! If you are a fan of Darwyn Cooke and New Frontier this is the episode for you and heck, even if you’ve never read it, this is for you, too. The New Frontier is part of the new classics that DC has been publishing and it is not to be missed.

Also on the show today, I go over Dark Horse’s new upcoming Four Volume Boris Karloff Tales of Mystery Hardcover Editions and two new Marvel Must Haves: 1985 and Kick-Ass both of which are coming out September 3rd. All this plus the New Releases of the Week.

I should also tell you that I’m off on vacation next week, so no Podcast, but I’ll still be Blogging. In the meantime you can catch me at the TwoMorrows Tune-In Podcast and Comic Book Page with John Mayo.
