The Lucifer series is, pound for pound, actually better than the Sandman series in my opinion. Although it does a great job breaking things into TPB size story chunks, it is effectively one massive story/saga with a VERY eclectic roster of characters. If I had one criticism, it’s that he occasionally throws in a chapter (issue) with a new character that seems totally unrelated and off the wall... but he always ends up tying them into the main story, usually in some critical way that you don’t see coming. So it can be jarring, but it irons out well. I loved the Sandman series overall, but I felt that after the first 30 issues or so, the story arcs started resolving kind of wishy-washy.

Sadly DC has a bit of a reputation with making stupid errors and decisions. Batman Knightfall omnibus 2 being another example, where the first four pages of legends of the dark knight #61 are printed out of order and despite the numerous print runs since it’s original release, they have failed to rectify the issue. DC has made this mistake numerous times some of which they had a recall and reprint and some they just did a sly reprint in a later print run but to have a glued binding fixed to the spine, that is a deliberate error in my opinion, from my experience of ready hefty books, a book this size, you have to go with a sown binding that is free from the spine, it’s a no brainer and at the price range it’s at, that’s the minimum standard in my opinion

Totally agree that they messed up that binding pretty bad. I hate when I open a book and there is so much curve or gutter loss (now I know what to call it) due to crap binding, that you have to push the pages down to even enjoy the art as well as read any text that's buried down there. Hardcover books should always be better than this. That's partly why we spend the extra dough to get them in hardcover rather than softcover. So kudos for calling them out on that in this review.

Great video as always! I especially like that you brought up the problems that Dc seems to have in their Tpb/hardcover/omnibus department. Same day releases and 2 types of binding?? It’s like one hand doesn’t know what the other is doing. I know that you don’t get the trades but I do and the spines with Dc are CONSTANTLY changing. It pisses me off to no end. I’ve been collecting the Batman Tom King run in tpb and the spines have changed like 3 times!! It makes the run look all disjointed and stupid. They will put the volume number on the side then NOT put it on the next one it’s frustrating. I know it may be a little OCD on my part but I like to look at a nice seamless looking shelf. For years they kept changing the logo too! Thank god they finally settled on a straight forward logo. That’s my rant I hope you feel the same and maybe bring it up on a future episode.

Brian Miller - It's a fairly straightforward fix: 1. Find a long narrow object (I used a 30cm Faber-Castell ruler) and run it through the spot where the eye is meant to take shape at the spine (between the cardboard and the ribbon). 2. Once, the cardboard has been completely separated from the ribbon, use your index fingers to lift the gap from both ends of the book, stretching it slightly. Be mindful of overstretching too quickly. 3. If you would like to make a bigger eye, add two fingers to both sides this time and repeat the stretching.
@HighlandG
4 жыл бұрын
I did a similar thing with mine using 2 marker pens instead of my fingers for a consistent arc. There's no glue between the ribbon and the hardcover on this book, its just really thick glue between the binding and the ribbon which is along with the tight bind, making it resistant to flex. You can also use marker pens as a prop up when reading on a table or flat surface to help stretch it out as you read through. I do recommend moving the pens to align with the part of the book you are reading though (as the arc should change as you read through) and not to just leave them dead centre the whole time.
