ITT Deluxe sized collections

There is just simply "omnibus" too which is usually more about pagecount than anything else. "Oversized hardcover" is another one; I'm not sure about the specifics though or what it might actually mean quality-wise.

Also fuck it. While we're at it, what would you like to see in this kind of format?

Prophet in a two volume set could be pretty awesome.

It's hard to decide. I think anything over about 30ish issues is too much for this format. Too many huge as fuck books. It's great for a small mini or series though.

Hellboy is an exception because fuck yeah Hellboy.

I'm talking about collections that blow up the art to beyond the normal comic format. That's what makes Absolutes fun. They're bigger than a traditional collection. I've got more than a few omnis on my shelf. (And fuck me a few on order and desired.) I'm talking these almost art book styled versions.

top is normal tpb size
2nd is oversized hardcover/omnibus size
3rd is dc absolute size but the dc graphic ink books are larger

I find the oversized hardcovers have the art the same size, but space things out for the extra size of the hardcover, and to prevent art being lost in the spine.

Are you into black and white original art? If so, the IDW Artist Editions are fantastic (though pricey). IDW licenses these from Marvel, DC, and other companies since they are not in the business of doing these types of books themselves. Mostly classic stuff from the Silver Age but they have been doing more recent and modern books as well, like Chris Samnee's Daredevil. Dimensions range from 12"x17" to 15"x22", depending on how big the original art was.

Here's a link to a full list of them. https://www.idwpublishing.com/product-category/art-books/art-books-artist-edition/

You get the art as it is, too. Scribble notes in the margins and all.

I admit I didn't mention them because I missed the Hellboy in Hell one, and that keeps me up at night.

I need to get the Amazing Screw on Head one before it's too late.

I have the little nemo in slumberland book by Taschen which is newspaper sized
they also have some other stuff that are huge
