 Amazing Quality, Amazing Characters June 2, 2010

If you are a fan of any of the characters in this book you should really do yourself a favor and check this out. These stories are all told in a great narrative unique to the different stories, the unique page structure builds on top of that. The book itself is great quality the pages are crisp, the binding is sewn and the book can lie flat perfectly. Finally some of these pages really take shape when you sit them next to each other. When they were being released in issues you only got one page and unless you took your comics apart the pages never truly lie next to each other. The most prominent case of this is with the Metamorpho chapter, the periodic table of elements looks just great.
All in all it really is another successful DC experiment and really shows and reminds us that DC can still be a lot of fun.
One of my best purchases June 4, 2010

I ordered a copy of Wednesday Comics and was amazed at how big the box is it came in. An absolutely beautiful book well worth the money I spent on the book. Well worth the price Amazon is asking. A must for any comics lover and especially those that appreciate the artistic nature of the books themselves.
The BEST Collection to come out of comics in years! June 8, 2010

Wednesday Comics is a true treasure. The artwork, the stories, simply the best work a major publisher has released in the last two decades. The quality of this book is unbelievable. This is the kind of book you want to leave out so that everyone can thumb through it. This is what makes comics great.
Now, do not order it from Amazon. My wife ordered this for me as a gift, the first copy I received was badly damaged on the lower corner. We returned it and documented the reason, only to receive another copy today and have the upper corner smashed in. This is too beautiful a book to have a damaged copy. The $20.00 discount from buying a copy from Amazon is simply not worth it. Go buy a copy at your local comic store or book store. Having a copy of this collection is worth the $49.99.
Wednesday Comics made Wendesday fun again! June 14, 2010
Dustin Abell (Sothern Cali)
Mark Chiarello gets my vote for the best editor in comics, the fact he got this incredible project in our hands is a testament to how much he loves this medium.....its a fantastic book, best of the year hands down, and the crazy oversized format is gorgeous and showcases the artwork beautifully. The content and the price make this the funnest purchase you'll make on Amazon today! Kamandi by Sook and Lopez' and Nowlan's Metal Men are my two favorite standouts!
Wednesday Awesome-ness July 5, 2010

The stories contained in this Huge and Beautiful collection were originally presented in a "newspaper" like format. Each character featured in this experiment had an entire giant page devoted to thier story. The stories themselves were great, but what captured my attention the most was how great the art looked in this oversized format. The detail and craftmanship that went into these stories, both written and drawn, was amazing. I own all 12 of the original single issue releases, but when I saw that this run was being collected in an oversized, hard cover edition... I couldn't resist! The collected edition maintains the size, and beauty, of the individual issues. If you are looking for a fun and unique way to introduce yourself to some of DC's coolest charachters, from the ever popular Superman and Batman to the lesser known Metamorpho and Adam Strange, presented by hottest writters and artists of today, this collection will not dissapoint.
