Last March 2016 I showed off all of the then-released DC Comics Graphic Novels/Bluray combos and I wrote what a good deal they were (even at the retail price of $25). If the books fell under $20, I will pick them up.
Of course, since March, there are a few releases here and there, and they are often priced at $30 or more. At that price point, I won’t buy them. Most of them seem to be Best Buy exclusives too.
Anyway, earlier today, I randomly spotted Batman: Under the Red Hood Book/Bluray combo for $20, so I picked it up. However, trying to find out more about the book online (on my phone at the store), was impossible.
So I’ve decided to compile a list of books/films in a release order. This way, I know which books I’m missing and when they came out.
Also, while not announced as comic book/film combo, I would guess the forthcoming Teen Titans: The Judas Contract will reprint the Marv Wolfman and George Perez’s classic storyline.
Having said that, DC did not issue a Batman: The Killing Joke graphic novel and film... instead they decided to Bluray-sized reprint of Batman: The Man Who Laughs as a Best Buy Exclusive. This is possibly because Alan Moore refused to let DC use his name in promotion of the animated film. That is evident when you saw the title and only saw Brian Bolland’s name as the creator.
I only own the first 10 books, so I can’t speak for the Best Buy Exclusives, but all of these releases comes with a digital copy of the comic book that you can redeem from Comixology. Also, these are all full-sized, hardcover comic books.
Releases so far:
