WEDNESDAY COMICS, the groundbreaking weekly series featuring the all-star talents of Neil Gaiman, Joe Kubert, Lee Bermejo, Brian Azzarello, Kurt Busiek and many more, was a critical and commercial success across the board, featuring DC’s greatest characters, including Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash and Green Lantern, in stories from the most talented creators in the industry. For 12 weeks, fans were treated to an historic and energized collection of newspaper strips compiled by editor Mark Chiarello that ranged from standard and captivating superhero drama to the surreal and innovative. But wait, there’s more?
Just announced at the Baltimore Retailer Summit, we’ve got the details on the WEDNESDAY COMICS collection, a topic that’s been hotly debated and prognosticated by fans since the inception of the series.
The hardcover collection of the series, which will retail at $49.99, will clock in at 11 x 17 inches, which will present the series in a deluxe, big-screen format befitting the series, which was originally printed on broadsheet newspaper pages.
So, there you have it. WEDNESDAY COMICS, presented in oversized and deluxe glory. Not too shabby, huh?

Okay, this would never work I’m sure, but instead of collecting these they should totally release these as 16 twelve poster sets where you can get all 12 pages of a single story from Wednesday comics as a giant poster for each page. If I had a rec room I’d totally put up the entire Flash story on my walls (or just about any of the others for that matter). It would look so freakin amazing.

I like this news. I bought the title every week and really enjoyed the heck out of it, but this way readers can get a HC to show off. It’s not the full broadsheet size, but that’s the price you pay for not getting it in it’s original format.
Glad to see a collection is coming. Fifty dollars is too steep for me though. I’ll wait for the softcover collection.
Very happy with this. A nice, time-resistant format that costs about the same as the original series. I was hoping it would be released in a coffee table format. So glad I took the chance and waited. It’s going to be a little smaller but look so much better.
