STICK3Rboy Posted September 13, 2022 Report Share Posted September 13, 2022 (edited) This was a nice read. Was slightly skeptical of this book initially, fearing that the art might not translate all that well into B&W, but it turned out pretty great. Loved the high quality matte paper which added to the whole experience. Was running my hands all over the pages while I was reading The book in these pics, which are a couple weeks old, is damaged at the top right. I've since gotten a replacement from Amazon, and I don't intend to remove its shrink wrap anytime soon Edited September 13, 2022 by STICK3Rboy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Boss Posted September 15, 2022 Report Share Posted September 15, 2022 (edited) ^Court of owls and whole Greg Capullo art in Scott Snyder's new 52 Batman run has some of the best coloring in art work. The black and white art doesn't do justice to it at all. If they release zero year volume in noir or unwrapped versions then it would be a travesty. Edit: They have long halloween in noir too wtf. That book has some of the best solid colors. I just loved that art. The solid background single tone colors looked so good. The night scenes especially.

Yeah, it isn't meant to be a replacement of the coloured version which will always be superior. But this book has its own merit because of the really high quality matte paper and the oversized pages. The look and feel of B&W on it made for a great reading experience. This actually made me start eyeing the Sin City Deluxe Editions which apparently have really good matte paper too (and of course artwork that was conceived for B&W). They're expensive as all hell though. Edited September 15, 2022 by STICK3Rboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're expensive as all hell though. I have the omnibus of Snyder's run, excellent oversized pages and great quantity. DC have great quality pages in omnibus, though binding can be in YMMV category. Personally all Omnibuses I have from DC have great pages and binding holding up nicely. Marvel have started using thin paper from late 2021. So they take less shelf space but don't feel as premium when reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't doubt the quality of the omnibus, but I was speaking specifically about the combo of 'thick matte + B&W'. I fell in love with it, and I think it merits the existence of the Noir line of books (assuming they all have similar quality). Also, I only have The Vision from Marvel (which I think I bought back in 2020), and the paper quality on that is embarrassing. Didn't know it extended to their other books as well.

It's gonna take me a while to complete the set. I had bought the first volume 4 years ago The books are worth it though with their cloth-covered binding and oversized, high-quality pages. Mignola's artwork and large panels shine in this format. Edited October 4, 2022 by STICK3Rboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DinJo Posted October 5, 2022 Report Share Posted October 5, 2022 Yes the cloth cover is amazing to see in books. But i can say this out and loud there is no match for paper quality for Rick Remenders deluxe edition it looked like a cardboard. Black hammer is no match which is from dark horse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will keep an eye on it for one of my next few purchases. Also, for how much and from where did you get it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
