DC News from the RRP Meeting (Newsarama)
What appears to be the final Alan Moore/Kevin O’Neil League of Extraordinary Gentlemen project to come from Wildstorm, The Black Dossier will be a hardcover which will include many formats, including a 3D segment.

Absolute Sandman starts in 2006; there was no announcement of price or extras yet, but DC will be recoloring the early issues of the Sandman series to match the higher production values of the later issues, as well as touching up the lettering in some issues where reversed lettering dropped out a bit. This is part of a plan to do every Sandman story in the Absolute format. Concurrent with the publication of Absolute Sandman, DC will not be keeping the current hardcovers edition collections of the series in print.
[During my last year of undergraduate work, I served as a Teaching Assistant for Dr. Elizabeth Preston, when she taught a sophomore-level course using Alan Moore's first two volumes of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. She thought there would be six volumes and I thought that series ended with two. Both of us are now wrong.
Neil Gaiman's Sandman series is one that my undergraduate mentor, Dr. Joel Pace, encourages me to explore this line of books. I fully intend to at least read these sometime after I read Alan Moore's Watchmen. BK]
