I discovered the online listings for these new editions/repackaged releases just moments ago. Note that they're "Available now" ... has anyone seen them?

They're all supposed to be available through Amazon next week.

Stealth release to tie in with the new movie?

Beats me. No one tells us writers anything.

Roger, did you get a chance to see Batman v Superman? What did you think of their adaptation of Doomsday?

Haven't seen it.

Doomsday turned Superman into a newt.

I thought it was a shrubbery.

This movie is dividing us all.

Here are what the spines of the books look like ...



(Bookends not included.)

Rog, out of all the stuff you've done, do you get the most attention from this over the years? It seems to be one of the most reprinted stories out there, probably the most reprinted among all Superman stories.

The stories get a lot of attention, but I don't know that I share in all that much of it. I wasn't even mentioned in the original solicitations for this set.

I'm at least as well known for my Spider-Man, Avengers, Captain America, and Doctor Strange stories. And my 3+ Guardians of the Galaxy stories have been reprinted three or four times already. (Thank you, Hollywood!)
