Invisibles is one of my all time favourite series and I love large-sized hardcovers but I won't be getting this.
What's wrong with this picture?
I probably loathe mega thick, uniwieldy hardcover collections as much as I love Invisibles. That's a lot of loathing.
What an incredibly stupid decision and I call it such because I don't nelieve DC would've lost many sales if they had done 3 separate hardcover collections, whereas I'm sure DC will lose a lot of sales due to this mind bogglng stupid decision.
These are Vertigo readers we're talkng about; discerning readers accostumed to paying for quality, not quantity. To package this like another McDonalds mega-whopper a la an X-Men omnibus or Secret Wars is crass and just plain stoopid. DC am poopy heads!
This is almost as insane as Dark Horse reprinting Terminal City as a digest-sized softcover.
While you're probably right (DC's handling of collections is very inconsistent and usually disappointing)...let's wait to see how it's packaged before rushing to judgement...it could be two HCs in a slipcase, or it could be using a thinner, lighter paper a la the Kirby Omnibuses. I want to buy this since I've never read this whole series, so I'm hoping it's done right.
