The DC compact comics are a great example of what the American comic scene in general should do and that is design lines/imprints from scratch to cater to casual/non comics readers along with being appealing to regular/hardcore readers.
I totally agree with you that if you don’t adapt, you die-and although I don’t think DC or Marvel will disappear in the next 5 years, if big changes don’t come, 20 years might see a totally different environment. I love these new compact versions of some of the best DC has produced over the years ( tho some others they have printed first up are head scratchers)
Yeah I would’ve thought Year One or DKR, but you’ve gotta remember that Scott Synder is heading the new initiative so they are going to show him some love
It works for me. The price is great, it's in color and collects all 12 issues for$9.99 instead of getting all 12 for close to $100 . I still wish it would've been a bit bigger size, but, it's still bigger than a manga volume,which,i think this is DC's way of competing with manga price wise and format wise
@@doclail8165 already got All Star Superman and Court of Owls Batman. Not too sure I'll get the others just because I'm not too familiar with Wonder Woman, Cat Woman and Green Lantern outside of their interactions with Batman and Superman I'm really hoping they do Superman For All Seasons and some of the Grant Morrison Batman stuff
@@doclail8165 I'm on the fence with Watchmen. I used to own one of the deluxe editions for the longest time, but never read it and gave it away,although,it was my fault because of my own biases. I always found the hardcore fan base a bit too much and that pushed me away, which it really shouldn't, because I really enjoy Alan Moore's take on Swamp Thing and Superman

Very surprised court of owls and hush came out in compact form before year one .

Year one is already at a cheap price

Plus, it’s totally portable, which is generally not the case with full-sized TPBs. Which of the first offerings are you most interested in picking up?

I think All Star Superman is next on the list for me too, then Watchmen
