The World's Greatest Super-Heroes, is written by Paul Dini, was released on 2005-08-01, is made by DC Comics. The list price is around US$49.99.
From beginning to end, this book is gorgeous. This hardcover slipcased edition is a tactile wonder. Everything from the cover to every single page has a pleasant, glossy sheen not found even in other DC Absolutes. Now in previous absolute editions, I have lamented the inclusion of both a slipcase AND a dust jacket, (hello, redundant!) I am pleased that this book features both, because it's just more canvas to feature the Ross's to-die-for art.
Now if you're expecting to see a lot of the Justice League together, you'll be disappointed because 2/3 of this book is Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel in their own stories. However, the 80 page LIBERTY AND JUSTICE story that concludes the book is the cream of the crop. If you need a bigger JLA fix, then look to Ross's series JUSCICE.
In short, this should be on the shelf of any DC comics fan, and considering that the BATMAN and WONDER WOMAN paperbacks are selling for more than this collected edition, it's a friggin' steal at 32.99.

Ubik, is written by Philip K. Dick, was released on 1991-12-03, is made by Vintage, Usually ships in 24 hours. The list price is around US$13.95. (*The prices are subject to change) Street price is around $11.16.
Not my usual reading fare, thus I was a bit lost for the first few chapters.
Then the pace changed and the novel morphed and emerged with humor, wit, and surprises that were quite brilliant.
Sci-Fi aficionados will be highly entertained!
Take only as directed....

And it's available in Amazon UK, but I'm not sure about the price. |

Halo, Books 1-3 (The Flood; First Strike; The Fall of Reach), is written by Eric Nylund, was released on 2004-09-28, is made by Del Rey, Usually ships in 24 hours. The list price is around US$23.97. (*The prices are subject to change) Street price is around $16.30.
If you liked the Halo game at all, this is a great set. It fills in a lot of the blanks about the back story you didn't get from the videogame. You might want to skip the sequel Ghosts book, but be sure you also grab the Contact Harvest which is a prequel to this set.
And it's available in Amazon UK, but I'm not sure about the price. |

The Swarm War (Star Wars: Dark Nest, Book 3), is written by Troy Denning, was released on 2005-12-27, is made by Del Rey, Usually ships in 24 hours. (*The prices are subject to change) Street price is around $7.99.
Troy Denning's THE SWARM WAR: DARK NEST III receives Jonathan Davis' fine voice also, lending a satisfying, dramatic uniformity to the Star Wars listening experience overall. Here a border war threatens to engulf the galaxy, unless the Jedi can end bloodshed and combat the evil spread by the Dark Nest and its hidden queen. Leia's new Jedi skills will be the difference between life and death in this confrontation.
In UK, it sells for £4.02 |
