Do comics companies do like a one year edition which has all the comics that release every month for a particular title over the course of one year?

Not exactly but they have an Omnibus that takes the best selling books from a particular writer; in the case of DC Rebirth the first volume of the DC Rebirth Omnibus will collect the best selling titles from all 21 currently running series and put them together in one hardcover book which goes on sale on December 13th it will cost $52.

Starting with Dark Nights: Metal DC will kick-off a new line called Dark Matter!

THE SILENCER

  • Debuting in September
  • Written by Dan Abnett with art by John Romita Jr.
  • Honor Guest was the world’s deadliest assassin, until she traded it all for a chance at a “normal” life in the suburbs, free from the constant death and destruction. But as her former life comes back to haunt her, Honor must strip away her suburban persona and protect her family as THE SILENCER.

SIDEWAYS

  • Debuting in September
  • Written by Dan DiDio and Justin Jordan with art by Kenneth Rocafort
  • Forever changed by the events of DARK NIGHTS: METAL, a teenager struggles to live through high school as he comes in contact with Dark Matter and gains the power to teleport through the Dark Dimension. But each leap brings the new hero one step closer to succumbing to the allure of his new power and its dark origins.

IMMORTAL MEN

  • Debuting in October
  • Written by James Tynion IV with art by Jim Lee
  • Born at the dawn of time, five siblings find that with eternal life comes eternal war. As the forces of destruction march into the modern world, they operate from the shadows, recruiting the elite against the foes who seek to bring about Armageddon. They are humankind’s hope sprung eternal….they are the IMMORTAL MEN.

DAMAGE

  • Debuting in October
  • Written by Robert Venditti with art by Tony S. Daniel
  • Ethan Avery only wanted to serve his country, but promises of becoming the ultimate weapon leave the new recruit living a nightmare. Cursed with the ability to unleash an unstoppable monster for one hour at a time, Ethan only wants to live out his life in peace. But if he can tame the monster inside, it might just be able to do more good for the country than Ethan ever expected.

NEW CHALLENGERS

  • Debuting in December
  • Written by Scott Snyder with art by Andy Kubert
  • Characters live on borrowed time, running from death toward the greatest mysteries, wonders and terrors of the universe! It’s a new cast, new mission, but in conversation with the history and greatness of the original Challengers of the Unknown. The story starts with Challengers Mountain returning after having been missing for years, and only gets wilder from there…

DARK NIGHTS: METAL

  • Debuting in August
  • Written by Scott Snyder with art by Greg Capullo
  • It all begins with DARK NIGHTS: METAL, a story that will examine every choice a hero doesn’t take and every path they don’t walk, opening up worlds that are forged by nightmares. Characters and stories from each of the Dark Matter books will be plotted throughout this series.

DC Comics announced a new imprint today called DC Black Label which focuses on all-star creative teams creating new books outside of continuity.

The books announced so far are:

SUPERMAN: YEAR ONE from Frank Miller (THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS, BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT: MASTER RACE) and John Romita Jr. (ALL-STAR BATMAN, SUPERMAN)

A groundbreaking, definitive treatment of Superman’s classic origin story in honor of his 80th anniversary. This story details new revelations that reframe the Man of Steel’s most famous milestones—from Kal-El’s frantic exile from Krypton, to Clark Kent’s childhood in Kansas, to his inevitable rise to become the most powerful and inspiring superhero of all time.

BATMAN: LAST KNIGHT ON EARTH from Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo, the creative team behind DARK KNIGHTS: METAL

Batman wakes up in a desert. He doesn’t know what year it is or how The Joker’s head is alive in a jar beside him, but it’s the beginning of a quest unlike anything the Dark Knight has undertaken before. In this strange future, villains are triumphant and society has liberated itself from the burden of ethical codes. Fighting to survive while in search of answers, Bruce Wayne uncovers the truth about his role in this new world—and begins the last Batman story ever told.

BATMAN: DAMNED from Brian Azzarello and Lee Bermejo, the creative team behind JOKER

On a deserted Gotham City bridge, a body is found. Whispers spread the news: Joker is dead. But is this a dream come true or a nightmare being born? Now Batman and DC’s outlaw magician John Constantine must hunt the truth through a Gotham City hellscape. The city’s supernatural recesses are laced with hints about a killer's identity, but the Dark Knight’s descent into horror will test his sanity and the limits of rationality, as he must face a horror that doesn't wear a mask.

WONDER WOMAN HISTORIA: THE AMAZONS from Kelly Sue DeConnick (Bitch Planet) and Phil Jimenez (INFINITE CRISIS)

A Homeric epic of the lost history of the Amazons and Queen Hippolyta’s rise to power. Featuring monsters and myths, this three-book saga spans history from the creation of the Amazons to the moment Steve Trevor washes up on the shores of Paradise Island, changing our world forever.

WONDER WOMAN: DIANA'S DAUGHTER (working title) from Greg Rucka (WONDER WOMAN, BATWOMAN)

It's been 20 years since the world stopped looking to the skies for hope, help, and inspiration. Now the world keeps its eyes down, and the powers that have risen have every intention of keeping things that way. Amongst a scattered, broken resistance, a young woman seeks to reclaim what has been forgotten, and on the way will learn the truth about herself, her heritage, and her destiny.

THE OTHER HISTORY OF THE DC UNIVERSE from John Ridley (12 Years a Slave, THE AMERICAN WAY)

A compelling literary series analyzing iconic DC moments and charting sociopolitical gains through the perspectives of DC Super Heroes who come from traditionally disenfranchised groups, including John Stewart, Extraño, Vixen, Supergirl, Katana and Rene Montoya, among others. At its core, the story focuses on the lives of those behind the costumes, and their endeavors to overcome real-world issues. It isn’t about saving the world, it’s about having the strength to simply be who you are.

I rejoined Marvel Unlimited for some inexplicable reason (I hate money?). I've been reading Silk and Spider-Gwen. It's my comic book renaissance.

I'm reading World War Hulk, the sequel to Planet Hulk. I'm halfway through and it's just shit.

So boring. It's not a story, it's a concept and not a particularly imaginative one. I loved Planet Hulk. This is like, as my friend put it, giving me a handjob I never wanted.

Yeah, that was not a good story. neat idea, but at the end of the day was just Hulk beating everybody up. The tie-in stories were even worse than the main one.

It somewhat redeemed itself near the end with the Sentry battle. But it felt a bit cynical when Hulk won, because, obviously it was his title and the twist was pretty obvious and dumb. The whole She-Hulk bit at the beginning was hamfisted and obvious.

I know it's the Hulk and he's somewhat lacking in intelligence but his reasoning going back over the Illuminatis historical treatment of him was just so stupid I couldn't find myself rooting for him at all.

I've been watching youtube comics videos a lot lately. There's some great stuff like whatculture, danco, watchmojo etc.

Just type in a character you like and let the suggestions flow forth. Top tens galore, character origins, most powerful artifacts etc. It's somewhat rekindled my interest in comics. I was looking to buy Green Lantern Blackest Night. How is that one?

Blackest Night was good. It really helps to know some Green Lantern history for that one. They do a nice job of recapping certain things, but that was definitely a storyline that was kind of a love letter to the fans.

Do they do an omnibus edition that has some prologue?

I've never actually read Green Lantern, but have seen all the movie(s) and TV show and obviously been exposed to them by the Justice League.

Geoff Johns has three Green Lantern Omnibuses that he wrote.

Blaskest Night is in the 2nd Omnibus.
