TDKR is the only good one there but I won’t be buying any of these. Awful fucking list, looks like theyre actively trying to kill the line.

Where is PAD’s Young Justice? Where is Super Sons? These should appeal to shonen readers.

>new frontier
>catwoman

Despite owning most in other formats.

I’m getting Burnside and Whiteknight. I remember the hate but never read either besides a few reactionary panels.

I've heard good things about Gotham central, I hope it finds its audience among among paperback readers.
Red Son and Green Arrow grab my interest vaguely, I'll flip through them but not buy them.
White Knight I would buy because last year I got into the harleybats ship.

do they come with a little magnifying glass so you can read it?
>>
>>151927725
I don't particularly care for the format. I'd much prefer DC Finest.
>>
Might pick a few up.
>>
>>151928024
"Gotham by Gaslight" was good, not great but good still
>>
>>151928024
why did you buy so many mid-to-shit books?
>>
>>151928024
Super Sons sucks shit. Get real.
>>
>>151928146
>I don't particularly care for the format. I'd much prefer DC Finest.
Same, shrinking the art looks bad and they are awkward on shelves next to regular sized. What would be more helpful would be if they follow through on the idea of DC Finest to eventually get all the runs for the major heroes. Right now it just seems like a divided effort when they could be kicking out twice the number of DC finest.
>>
>>151927725
It wasn't a good job. They went for very obvious things that made a lot of noise but aren't necessarily good: Burnside and Tom Taylor's Nightwing, Kings Supergirl.

Injustice is trash. Under the Hood is trash, but it's an important comic.
There are 4 good choices there. TDKR, Red Son, Gotham Central and Green Arrow.
I don't know about Flash.
>>
>>151928433
>Under the Hood is trash, but it's an important comic
They should have packaged it with Heart of Hush
>>
>>151928255
>>151928146
Like it or not, it's been working
Hell, even Boom's doing it with Power Rangers now
That said
>>151928024
Is right that the line should cater to Shonen readers
>>
>>151928246
>>151928170
As opposed to the dogshit in OP? There is precisely one good comic there, TDKR. The rest are atrocious. Brubaker’s batman run is better than GC.

But what I said still applies, why is there not one book that appeals to shonen readers in the line made to appeal to them? YJ and Super Sons would both do that. You being a faggot (a samefag at that) doesn’t change that.
>>
>>151927725
Mixed bag. I only buy Compact versions of stuff I already own so I can give them out to family and friends who are interested when we hang out. Five bucks a piece on instocktrades isn't bad at all
>>
>>151928146
>>151928255

So buy those. Compact doesnt need to appeal to you. The entire point is that it’s cheap and meant for commute, airplane, each reading etc.

I don’t see why you dweebs who never leave your house find that so difficult to understand?

The only ones that really affected the art negatively have been We3 and Watchmen.

These are actually bad.

If they're going the Archie Digest route to sell these in alternative places and focus much more on casual readers, fine, but if they really devote a lot of effort it's a lost opportunity cost. Another idea could be to make them full size so they can be collected and not look retarded on a bookshelf.
>>
>>151928676
Found out it's 14.99 with Boom
....yeah this shit is gonna be a dud on release
What is it with publishers not realizing the size itself isn't the appeal but the price
>>
>>151928793
>Another idea could be to make them full size so they can be collected and not look retarded on a bookshelf
That’s what omnis, hardcovers and paperbacks are for retard.

Are you genuinely autistic? You shelffags tend to be
>>
>>151928810
The size is too, fits better in a bag for on the go reading.
>>
Gotham Central is the only one here that I'm interested in and don't already own a physical copy.
>>
>>151928683
>Brubaker’s batman run is better than GC.
I would call you out for bait, his Batman run sucked ass, then again you're also calling Green Arrow Year One or Gotham By Gaslight "awful" meanwhile you think slop like Gotham City Sirens or motherfucking HUSH are great. At least for Super Sons I can just assume you're a pedo.

Why keep samefagging? It’s painfully obvious
>>
>>151928843
Jock draws worse than a blind autistic toddler and and I have no interest in COPS but Batman but no Batman but also dykes too: the comic

Brubaker’s run with McDaniel is great
>>
>>151928860
>Jock is bad
>McDaniel is great
Jesus Christ, go to /shelf/ or some other shit taste containment thread.
>>
>>151928871
Im literally the one telling you shelf fags to fuck off ITT. Now you’ve decided schizo posting is the motion?
>>
>>151928910
Point is maybe you should go there because you have shit taste, schizo.
>>
>>151928953
>I’ll double down on silly schizo nonsense
Kill yourself

>>151927725
TDKR is the only good one, and the compact format for it is RETARDED. I own the TPB, and it's already too small.
>>
>>151927725
I was going to buy the Compact version of Batman: Arkham Asylum, but heard the quality is pretty bad where you can't read a lot of what Joker is saying.
>>
I love the line. I always add one to my orders because it's so cheap. My only complaint is that some of the books don't fit the format. New Frontier's colors don't pop the way they should and it harms the story. It's still a great story but you're better off with the proper tpb.
>>
>>151928072
Sure thing, Marvel shill
>>
>>151927725
If In played fighting game, I might have picked up Injustice since I know that they would print years 2 and 3. However, knowing that the series is unfinished stings so much.

However, as a rare person who thought White Knight was alright, it's something I'll consider.
>>
>>151929366
Are tpbs hard to sell in bookstores or places like that? I went through the Absolute ones recently and they're pretty good reads for a plane ride or something. The size isn't too crazy
>>
>>151929116
We3 to me was the dumbest one to make a compact of. So much of the art requires small panels and spreads.

>>151929800
Absolute editions are awful for public reading.
>>
>>151928848
'fraid not, dipshit
>>
>>151928024
You're right that all but TDKR kinda sucks shit but the examples you brought up also belong in the trash heap.
>>
>>151928063
I don't know about Green Arrow but the animated adaption of Red Son is much better like most Millar adaptions.
>>
>>151930787
>TDKR kinda sucks shit
Contrarian opinion discarded.
>>
>>151930807
>all ***BUT*** TDKR kinda sucks shit
reading isn't your strong suit, is it?
>>
>>151930818
>TDKR kinda sucks shit
You did it again! Opinion discarded.
