Having taken a look at November's periodical releases from DC's New 52, Vertigo, Before Watchmen and DC Kids lines, it's time to check out what for many readers is the main event of any comic book shipping schedule: the collected editions, which compile and usually complete comics stories initially serialized monthly in 20-page pamphlet-style comics you totally can't put on a shelf. Below you will find the cover artwork and hype copy for new original graphic novels, trade paperbacks, hardcovers and omnibuses coming from DC Comics and Vertigo this November (and in beyond, in some cases), including Absolute Top 10 by Alan Moore and Gene Ha and Zander Cannon; the final volume of iZombie by Chris Roberson and Michael Allred; the first hardcover collection of The Books of Magic written by Neil Gaiman; and a massive omnibus of Geoff Johns work on Teen Titans. Each release will go on sale in bookstores as well as finer comics shops, where you can also pre-order your selections to ensure you'll get copies before they sell out.BATWOMAN VOL. 2: TO DROWN THE WORLD HC
