Yup, it looks like an action figure line variant with "battle armor" added to the core designs for most of them. Martian Manhunter's is fine, but I like his original design so much that I don't see the need to really change or mess with it.

Not defending them because they're largely garbage, but in Hal's case, the harness is part of the straps for a parachute, which given him being a pilot makes sense.
But he's not wearing a parachute. I don't think pilots wear those harnesses all the time or do they? But whatever the reason is it still looks super weird to have a bunch of heroes in obvious superhero outfits and then a guy dressed as a pilot.
I guess it could be under his bomber jacket? I dunno, like I said, I wasn't defending it by any means, but if Hal's lost his ring (which is dumb because he just got new special one), then he doesn't have a costume to be altered. 🤷♂️
I kinda just assume Hal is always wearing his dad's jacket underneath his green lantern uniform. Johns established it in my mind as his default outfit.
Any ideas for how to store and move omnis and deluxe editions, before a move? Looking for like a cardboard box or plastic tote that can store 4 or 5 in each.
Need to just sell all my OHCs and HCs that I know I wont read again. Looks like a lot of the Marvel OHCs are starting to fall apart, or at least the glue is starting to seep though the cover pages. Its a hassle selling them all individually though.

tbh, best to just case your neighborhood shops and ask if they have any boxes you can have. grocery stores, liquor shops, book stores, etc. are all great. check everywhere you're comfortable calling or stopping in. your books will fit in pretty much anything, tho medium to small boxes are preferable for weight. otherwise, you can get medium-sized boxes for around $2 a pop from places like uhaul, lowes, costco, or even amazon. can get a bit expensive relatively quickly, so hopefully you can find some free boxes!
After like 15 years I completed my Absolute Sandman collection 😭 Not crazy about the reprints getting the DC Black Label logo but I'm not one of those people who get super mad about that stuff lol I'm just glad that I have the whole thing now.
Got my first omnibus too, 7 Soldiers by Morrison. I was planning to get the two Annihilation omni first but I'm waiting for better sales.

I also have mix-and-match Absolute Sandman spines and it's giving me choice paralysis for the fourth one - Vol 1 & 2 are Vertigo, while the Vol 3 I got was DC Black Label. So like, do I track down a Vertigo Vol 3 and maybe swap for it, then try and track down a Vertigo Vol 4? Do I accept the new Black Label future and track down some Vertigo editions of the first volumes? Do I just live with an imperfect shelf? Such things haunt me.
I was about to make some joke about how going digital would solve this, but then I remembered that my Sandman volumes are from different editions and have completely different styles for the covers.
Also, Comixology is dead so I'm never going to see them again.

Take off that wrap and let those books free!
I think the fact it doesn't flip flop makes it less annoying to me.
oh, that looks nice. I'm planning to get the Overture and Death volumes too.

They should just go with cover blurbs like "This book is so bad it'll make you shit."

Man, I love Evan Cagle's work on the Detecive Comics covers. They're always so beautiful.
Yup. This whole era of Detective Comics had some amazing talent. From covers to the coloring. Looking forward to reading the rest of the series. Hope it gets a nice Omni.
It's been really different from the rest of the Batman books of late. More of a Gothic horror like story.
I hope they stick around, because they're why I got back into reading Detective Comics. The artwork especially got me back in.

Who is he trying to fool with the reverse sketch of the AI image. He already has great traditional art but to stoop to this level is just stupid.
Reminds me of artbysherilyn last year at SDCC who had good traditional art but resorted to selling AI art in her booth. I don't think she's posted anything since then.

Not familiar with them either, hmm. I actually looked at Midtown right after posting but it looks like they're sold out, all I saw were options to wishlist it.

For $10 shipped, it's not that much more/less than eBay. Looks like they have 4 copies in stock.
So what's the big deal about this Venom cover? Just because it's a Watchmen reference by the Watchmen guy?
If I remember right, Cates and Stegman hyped up their now pretty big Venom run by doing a Twitter meme campaign where they randomly decided to claim it would be "better than Watchmen" and it actually paid off in generating buzz and sales. The cover's a reference to that.
Specifically it's a fun memey variant because Cates and Stegman spent a bunch of time leading into their Venom book talking about how their Venom would shit all over Watchmen and take its place as the great classic cape comic, about how their Venom could solo the entire cast of Watchmen in a fist fight, ect - it was fun shitposting because it absolutely riled people up. The fact that they convinced Gibbons to get in on the joke and do a Watchmen styled variant is pretty spectacular, honestly.
It was funny. I kind of hate people who put Moore and his works on a pedestal, since they're usually the snobby kind of people.
I hate people that put Moore on a pedestal because that dude wrote Lost Girls.
I absolutely do not care. If they want to waste their time being horny for drivel it isn't my problem.
I did for a time because I wanted to see what the fuss was about. Boy was I sorry.
