Nothing really jumps out at me; recent hardcovers getting the softcover treatment. Hot recent runs like Brightest Day and Batman getting collected.
I’m shocked Planetary/Batman is getting a deluxe edition hardcover: it’s 96 pages for $23. The original prestige softcover was $10 I believe and a quick eBay search shows lots available at $6. They’re really going to have to pack this with extras or give it Absolute size to get people interested.
Infinity Inc could be very entertaining but I don’t remember the art being exciting enough for me to pick it up the individual issues when published.
I’m most excited for the Batgirl Flood trade. I see it’s not coming out in hardcover, which is kind of a shame, but it would sell better in paperback. I’ll definitely put that on my pull list.
I’m also a little saddened that Batwoman Elegy is coming out in softcover only because the hardcover is so beautiful and well made.
