Sin City resonated with me from day one when I first encountered it skimming through Dark Horse Presents. I remember thinking "this would be great in its own book" and as soon as it was released I started collecting religiously. I was a film noir and detective fiction fan, so Miller melded the best of both worlds bringing it to comics in such a bold fashion. Glad to see the omnibus has the thick matte paper like the comics. Something about that paper feels necessary to the pulp fiction reading experience.

Thanks for the overview Omar, I got my copy in today and have the next three on preorder. Dark Horse really knows how to design a deluxe slipcased hardcover, this is impressive. At only around $50 each if preordered online I think they are well worth it. Also, DH really pay attention to the small details too. That interior sell sheet with the book did not have any glue or adhesive like I have seen on many other publishers books, and even the isbn sticker on the back of the slipcase removes easily without any residue.

I disagree that matte paper is better for black and white. Black and white 'pops' more on glossy paper. Matte paper is better for colour. The best example being DC's absolutes. I'm sticking with my Library Edition collection. What this version has over the Library Edition is the red edge of the books otherwise the Library Edition has better thicker glossy paper. I also think the brick design for the book cover and slipcase is 'busy'.
@NearMintCondition2 жыл бұрын
Respectfully disagree because it really depends on what type of colors we are talking about. When the product was made for example has a big impact on the type of paper they should use. Case in point. Look at the colors of Last God and how dull they are. Look at the black and white art found in the Fantagraphics collections of Dick Tracy for example of something that looks better because of the paper. Manga is another example when they get a deluxe treatment. There is a reason why Berserk even in the deluxe doesn’t use glossy paper. Really is case by case. Stick with the library editions honestly. This adds nothing to those. Since they are the same height.

I own the single issues for a lot of Sin City, and the trades for Hard Goodbye, Yellow Bastard, and Dame to Kill For, since I've been a Sin City fan since around 1996. I've at times been interested in the Big Damn Sin City volume (I always thought it was like a Marvel or DC omnibus; didn't realize how big it was), but that glossy omnibus paper just doesn't feel right for Sin City. I actually really like the texture of the pages for the single issues of Sin City and the original trades that I own. I can't see myself upgrading for that reason alone, honestly. And the dialogue was outdated by 1990s standards too. It was intentionally done that way, I think probably done to give it a more film noir feel or something.

I also checked page counts and for most of these new paperback editions they have an extra section of 8 or 16 pages vs the last paperbacks too and it says the pin-up galleries will be included. Also apart from volume 1, it looks like the page count is the same between these deluxe editions and the new paperbacks, so maybe only vol.1 has the 'exclusive' few pages. So if these TPB's have matte paper I think they will be ideal.
