Great Compilation

A well put together bundle of both the classic and the new graphic novels with a few extras. Very Impressive packaging (coffee table worthy).


First batman story ever read

Well this is the first batman comic i ever picked up. There are some others now on my list, but this one was a fantastic read. Frank Miller really knows how to make batman one dark character. Can't believe how lucky i am to have picked this one up.

First half of the book, i was really empressed, how gritty and grungy everything looked and went so well with the mood miller was setting. The story was fantastic, although recruiting a new robin when your really that old, kinda makes you wonder. Made me laugh really, seems robin always has to be someone young. So batman can um, mold them properly and what not ;-).

Second half of the book was great too, but not as great, made batman look like more of an A-hole. As well as making some of the other dc characters who appear look naive, whiny and push over (ya im talking about superman, you'll find out why if you read it)

I have to say that the art at times was funny, wonder women really looked like a tranny who hadn't gotten the rest of her plastic surgery done. It cracked me up everytime she appeard.

Anyway, for any batman fan, or any person who's a comic fan, this is a great addition to any collection. I love the absolutes, this one goes well with my Absolutes (kingdom come, crisis of infinte earths, Authority 1,2) I look forward to purchasing more of the absolute comics!

The Dark Knight Returns is Essential even for non-comic reading book fans.

A one-two punch of a set in one amazing volume. There are examples of a medium that so much represent the best there is that it transcends the traditional audience. The Dark Knight Returns, the first of two volumes in this set, is such a work. The 15-years between it's sequel, The Dark Knight Rides Again, seem to change the momentum. While it is sometimes fun and always interesting, it is merely a ride-along compared to the first volume. Bottom line, this is worth it alone for The Dark Knight Returns- the sequel is just icing.

There are two odd omissions here- one was the Frank Miller Batman:Year-one story and the other was his Batman x-mas short.

DC Comics Absolute Editions set the standard for the highest quality, most in-depth presentation of classic graphic novels. Each oversized volume is presented in a slipcase and includes unique additional material making each Absolute Edition a cornerstone of any serious comic collection.

On its publication in 1986, Frank Miller?s THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS changed the landscape of the graphic novel irrevocably. With its dark vision of Batman?s future and its stunning artwork, THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS set the world on fire. 15 years later, Miller?s sequel, THE DARK KNIGHT STRIKES AGAIN, further redefined the boundaries of the superhero genre.

Now, both of these comics masterpieces are collected in one giant-sized slipcase edition for the first time ever. Frank Miller has provided a new introduction, a new cover and new art for the slipcase. This edition is also filled with bonus material featuring an excerpt from Miller?s original plot for DARK KNIGHT RETURNS #4, sketchbook material and much more.
