New story pages. New Phil Jimenez art. New George Perez art. A look at deleted scenes and sequences. What more can a fanboy want out of an Infinite Crisis hardcover edition?
INFINITE CRISIS HC (Aug 2006)
DC’s mega-crossover, which the company had been building to for over two years, is being collected in a special hardcover edition this September. And when we say special, we mean special.
Aside from collecting all seven issues, the volume will contain four all-new story pages drawn by Jimenez, Andy Lanning and Art Thibert.
These additional pages are a two-page spread of 80 heroes paying homage in a church that fits neatly into issue #5 of the series, a battle sequence between Batman, Robin, Nightwing and Deathstroke from issue 7 and a scene showing the final fate of Nightwing and more of the epic battle in Metropolis from the same issue, said editor Anton Kawasaki.
Not enough for you? How about a new double-page spread of all of DC’s heroes drawn by Perez?
Also in this hardcover edition will be a collection of all covers from the series, including variants. There will also be a discussion about the book with writer Geoff Johns, Jimenez and editor Eddie Berganza with a look into sequences and art that fell on the cutting-room floor before publication, according to DC editor Bob Harras.
