I'm a college student, and iv been reading a lot of these between classes, and I can't wait to get more of these!

[esdraslopez]

Cant believe they havent released compact editions before! Great idea!

[chuckransford]

As a newbie I appreciate that DC are putting out these ultra affordable collections. I was hoping for a better Wonder Woman release in this format, as I have yet to read anything that is WW centric and I've seen it almost universally stated that this arc isn't great for new readers.

Just picked up the Watchmen compact edition today. This will be my first time ever reading Watchmen. Can’t wait! Love your videos! Keep it up 👍🏽

Dark Knight Returns is the most famous Batman comic IMO. Not saying it's better but i can remember in 1986 that book was getting mainstream press and there was news coverage of the book and Frank Miller. I think Year One is also more famous than Hush. My 3 favorites are probably Long Halloween, Dark Victory and Court Of Owls.

Im glad there is now a cheap graphic novel imprint.

What id like to see...

1: new frontier
2: death of superman
3: doom patrol
4: invisibles
5: Supergirl woman of tomorrow
6: green lantern by grant morrison
7: legend of wonder woman
8: legends of the dark knight
9: hellblazer
10: green arrow by kevin smith

This was great! You should do more of these everytime a new compact comic comes out. It helps a lot <3

Long Halloween is the definitive Batman story.

I love the compact comics so much! A great way for people to get into comic stories

$9.99 for a full 12-issue run of some of the greatest comic stories of the past 50 years? Yes, please! Have been "out of" comics for around 25 years now and THIS brought me back, at least a little bit. Really loving these things! Hoping they get around to Moore's Swamp Thing and Miller's Dark Knight Returns eventually. I'd really love to re-read those in this format.

Incredible video, thank you for talking about all of them in a succinct and effective way. I’m not the newest reader, but this video gave me a good idea which books I’m interested in

[LSOK]

All Star Superman was a love letter to the silver age and I loved it!

[MattHorton]

I tried to read All-Star Superman, and I didn't like it that much. I think I'm just not into Morrison.

Glad to see you enjoying Far Sector!

[mattlebowski]

Great video! Been wanting to check out these compact editions so I appreciate this breakdown. Keep up the great work!

[MainlySpoons]

My girlfriend recently got Hush and I got Watchmen. Very bleak, but I’m in love with it. I have ordered All-Star to get hyped for the new movie!

[TheComicBookReport]

Some beautiful books here, appreciate the coverage. Far sector might finally get me 😂

[nickchilds]

Watched this a couple times now, thank y’all for the coverage, I’m eyeing a couple to cop for my friends to try and lure them into my favorite hobby lol

[ghost-noir.]

So far I own every compact comics and my favorite compact are the Batman the court of owls and hush and watchman

[suryanih]

Before the release of compacts, I've never read any comic book in physical format. One of the reasons is that dc and marvel (and other comic publishers) don't publish their comics in my country. So i can only read comics digitally on my phone.
But around 2 months ago i stumbled on a tweet that said you can read the whole court of owls saga for just $9.99. So i decided to preorder the book, and i don't know why but reading it in physical format feels WAY better than reading a comic book on your phone.

Fast forward to now, i have a few trade paperbacks and 2 weeks ago i just bought woman of tomorrow deluxe edition and smashes the klan. I can't believe i fell down the rabbit hole of collecting/buying physical comic books because of these compact comics 😂

This reminds me of old school Archie digests that they used to sell in the grocery store by the register for 1.50
