I have decided to get the HC versions of:

Wonderful Wizard of Oz (2008):
external image

Marvelous Land of Oz (2009):
external image

Ozma of Oz (2010):
external image

Dorothy and The Wizard in Oz (2012):
Not out yet but should be done with these by the time I finish the others because there's only one issue left.

I have always wanted to read L. Frank Baum's Oz books because I absolutely loved (still do love) The Wizard of Oz. But I never did get around to it so I am at least going to read these.

They seem to release about 1 mini series per year that covers one book (and they are going in order).

Not sure how many they'll end up doing because there are like 20 of them but this is a good start.

Please, join me!

Did it purge again? Sorry I haven't been posting in them, but I just yesterday read my comics from two weeks ago. Speaking of which, WTF Red Lanterns #7? I swear to Bob, he is the only reason I read that, if he doesn't stand up n the next issue...

the only Oz I know is the movie! Really dig the art on those covers, though - kinetic and playful. How much are the volumes?

The only Oz I know is the movie too!

That's the problem. I love the movie so much that ignoring these would be a sin.

Cheapest I can find is $18 for each hardcover (they are 8 issues apiece).

that's fine for you, but I don't order from them and can't add it to a shipment! Besides, after looking through Amazon I discovered that the Strange Girl Omnibus is on sale for only $40. Think I'll have to sleep on this and place an order in the morning.

Yeah, mine is only 10% (max) so all I get there are turtles comics. I get the rest from dcbservice.com.

Also, the Strange Girl Limited Edition Slipcase Collection is $29.99 on dcbs.

Not sure what the difference is between that and the Omnibus (they both seem to have all 18 issues).

Yes indeed, they've got Captain Brooklyn hitting in May, looks awesomesauce.

http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=35240

And PG and Huntress hit in World's Finest in April, will check it out but it doesn't look like it'll have too much in common with the previously mentioned team's PG book.

While I'm posting, I'm gonna plug the finest comics around Savage Dragon, Invincible, and Hack/Slash.

I see all 3 of those getting cancelled.

Well, maybe not Grifter, since it's tieing in to so many books.

Of course, they're pairing Liefeld with a dude he publicly hates for writing duties, so....

I know for some fans Supergirl will always be a protoplasmic matrix from a pocket dimension that merged with a devil worshipping teenager before being infused with the Angel of Fire, but for most, she will always be Superman’s cousin. It’s really that simple, and that’s why she came back.

Well, at least DiDio knows I exist.
