Recently , DC began making a immense move that pushed Alan Moore and Dave Gibbon ’s legendary series Watchmen into the wide-cut DC comics canyon . And now they are a part of that canon , DC would very much like you to pay a silly amount of money for new , premium versions of Watchmen again .
Every Major Revelation in DC Comics ’ Rebirth Special
I ’m not saying that they should n’t try , or that the great unwashed should n’t want a new photographic print of watchman — masses get into reading material comics all the time , and comfortable admittance to one of the most authoritative and influential superhero comics in history is perfectly a safe matter . But this new Watchmen Collector ’s Edition Box Set express that DC are going about it in the uncanny way possible .
This new set , out in November , amass each individual result of Watchmen , 12 in total … but then keeps them freestanding as item-by-item hardcover issues . I ca n’t even remember the last time I show Watchmen as separate issues rather than pull together in a individual tome . But beyond that , who the blaze needs a hardback reading of a single issue ?
That ’s weird enough , but this swank young box ready is also $ 125 . you may get the hardback deluxe version ofWatchmen for $ 30 on Amazonright now — a much well-to-do form of reading the series than having each issue as its own hardback Bible . The out - of - photographic print Absolute Edition , containing a bunch of superfluous material this new set seemingly does n’t have , isgoing for just over $ 50 . ( And the soft-cover collection of Watchmen?Going for $ 12 . ) Who the hell wants to pay $ 125 for 12 singly hardcovered comic book ?
DC desire they ’re out there , somewhere . While they ’re at it they desire they ’ll also blame up the incoming black - and - livid version , Watchmen Noir ( itself $ 40 ) , too . What ’s next ? I imagine Watchmen 3D will be available for purchase by 2019 .
