Hey Dom! I enjoy your videos! As for Team Ups, I’m personally hoping World’s Finest gets its own line and isn’t part of the Team Up books. WF had such a long run that it really deserves its own space. Fingers crossed! Take care and keep up the good work!
Dom, I’ve read Legion since the 1970s. In 2021, I set a goal to obtain and read in print form, every appearance of the Legion. Through a combination of single issues and Omnis I have them all. My strategy is to not just plow through it, but commit to just one issue a week. I started with the Silver Age Omnibus volumes and I’m now up to Superboy and the Legion 232 in 1978. The Levitz run is just getting started. I’ve read most of it previously but decided to not take credit for previous reads. My recommendations are to start with Cockrum era and work forward. The Legion rapidly transforms from tweens to mature later teens or adults with accompanying themes. Sounds like you know Darkness Saga, but the Curse which immediately follows is actually better. The 1984 Baxter series is insanely good and under collected. Let me know how I can help!
I whole heartedly agree with hound, I have been reading Legion since the 80s and have read most of the Superboy from 190s up but I really enjoyed the Baxter series as one of my favorites.
I believe Metamorpho is supposed to cameo in James Gunn's Superman movie, so I suspect it's being released around that time hoping that people will be curious about the character in the movie.
Great video! The books I want the most from your list are Metamorpho and Catwoman. I already have the Plastic Man archives so I don’t need to double dip. I’d like to see the Plastic Man stuff from the 70s and 80s collected! 💙👍🏼
Superman: Kryptonite Nevermore, Batgirl, Superboy, Teen Titans and Green Arrow are the ones I'm most excited for. That said, I'm hoping to get 27 of the 31 that have been announced, so I'm excited for most of the DC Finest books they're doing.
I’m primarily going to be using these books to collect and read all the classic events. But it’s really cool to see the wide array of stuff they’re getting into.
This line is so awesome. Reminds me of the showcase presents line from years back. I’m glad I get to recollect some of those silver age classics like metamorpho in color and better paper.
8. Pre-Crisis Wonder Woman (I see Busiek, I click buy) 7. Zero Hour 6. Peacemaker (love that we're getting pre-DC material) 5. Plastic Man (ditto) 4. Batman (the Dark Knight Detective and Caped Crusader trades look great, but I missed out on volumes 1 and I'm not paying scalper out-of-print prices) 3. Green Arrow (been meaning to get the Longbow Hunters Omnibus for a while) 2. JSA (more Golden Age material please) 1. Legion of Super-Heroes (favorite team, no question I'm getting it) Not sure if I'm gonna get most of the Silver Age stuff because I still have the Showcase Presents volumes.
Metamorpho is going to be in James Gunn's Superman movie, so that could be why we're getting a character specific DC Finest. Brand synergy. Btw, you cannot have too much DC Finest content. I'm all-in, and I'll watch every video 😂
10. Science Fiction: The Gorilla World 9. JSA: For America and Democracy 8. Plastic Man: The Origin of Plastic Man 7. Superman: The First Superhero 6. JSA: The Plunder of the Psycho-Pirate (this rates a little higher than the other JSA book because I've read some early JSA, but not this far... so all this material will be new to me.) 5. Supergirl: The Girl of Steel (so pleased that, unlike the Supergirl Silver Age Omni, this isn't just the Action Comics material. The superior mapping alone elevates this one for me.) 4. Catwoman: Vengeance and Vindication 3. Catwoman: Life Lines 2. Team-Ups: Chase to the End of Time 1. Wonder Woman: The Legend of Wonder Woman
Great preview - I’m not as clued up on DC so really useful. Am going to grab Catwoman, LSH and have a look at Plastic Man and maybe Metamorpho for something different
Great video Dom nice top ten. I won't give you mine yet. But I will be getting every single title. I have told myself as soon as I start to double dip I will get rid of the older and more expensive Hardcovers or Omnibus. I am running out of space as is. Lol.
Thanks for the vid Dom. Great stuff as always. My list is probably a little boring in that its predictable: Batman, Flash, and Green Arrow. But I plan on branching out down the road like I did with the Marvel Epic Collections...I probably need another bookcase😂. Have a great day!
I'm mainly looking for ones that don't seem to become omnibuses. The ones I've pre-ordered are both Catwoman books, the Batgirl one, Harley Quinn, Doom Patrol and Peacemaker. It's hard to say which one is my most anticipated, but I'm very curious what the early Doom Patrol was like, and how good Peacemaker really is as a comic. The TV series may have caused some unrealistic expectations. 😉
I respect every other preferences, but of that list i’m just planning to buy Supergirl and Green lantern 😅 the other list of characters looks boring to me, but as i said, i respect if others shows interest in those characters
Hey what were the issues from Catwoman have not been collected before? Catwoman (1998) 1-4 has actually been collected in Her Sister’s Keeper TPB, and then there is Catwoman Defiant TPB and then the 2 volumes of Jim Balents run

I'm getting the DC Finest Catwoman. That was my favorite Catwoman run.
I believe Metamorpho is supposed to cameo in James Gunn's Superman movie, so I suspect it's being released around that time hoping that people will be curious about the character in the movie.

The Team-Ups one is the one I’m pretty hyped for. I’ve been asking for DC to collect all those JLGL issues for years.
Superman: Kryptonite Nevermore, Batgirl, Superboy, Teen Titans and Green Arrow are the ones I'm most excited for. That said, I'm hoping to get 27 of the 31 that have been announced, so I'm excited for most of the DC Finest books they're doing.
Great vid mate 👍 I've pre ordered batman and catwoman so will see how they go.
I’m primarily going to be using these books to collect and read all the classic events. But it’s really cool to see the wide array of stuff they’re getting into.
So so so excited for this line
Wish DC would print more late sixties/seventies Superman storylines. That would include both Superman and Action. They were more innovative back than.
This line is so awesome. Reminds me of the showcase presents line from years back. I’m glad I get to recollect some of those silver age classics like metamorpho in color and better paper.
The DnA Legion is my favorite! Especially Legion Lost
8. Pre-Crisis Wonder Woman (I see Busiek, I click buy)
7. Zero Hour
6. Peacemaker (love that we're getting pre-DC material)
5. Plastic Man (ditto)
4. Batman (the Dark Knight Detective and Caped Crusader trades look great, but I missed out on volumes 1 and I'm not paying scalper out-of-print prices)

Metamorpho is my #1 pick for next year too
Great preview - I’m not as clued up on DC so really useful. Am going to grab Catwoman, LSH and have a look at Plastic Man and maybe Metamorpho for something different
Definitely would like to get Peacemaker, Catwoman and Wonder Woman. I would like to see the post-Crisis Mister Miracle run.
The only of these I can confidently say I'll get is the Silver Age Aquaman one.
Great video Dom nice top ten. I won't give you mine yet. But I will be getting every single title. I have told myself as soon as I start to double dip I will get rid of the older and more expensive Hardcovers or Omnibus. I am running out of space as is. Lol.

Hi Dom 👋 are you currently watching Hbo's 'The Penguin'🐧? This third episode was great and EPIC!
The Justice Society of America!
Mostly a Marvel fan here. But DC wise being only interested in DC from 1938-2011. And being a huge Epic Collector these books are perfect

Catwoman (1998) 1-4 has actually been collected in Her Sister’s Keeper TPB, and then there is Catwoman Defiant TPB and then the 2 volumes of Jim Balents run
I wonder if they would ever do a Batman Beyond DC Finest line, I feel like batman beyond has under collected.
Have they mentioned what are the contents of Superman: Kryptonite Nevermore?
I have never read Plastic Man, but hearing you describe it makes me think of the old Police Academy movies. A mix of action & comedy. #BoomerMemories😂
