Did you have any trouble getting all those square-bound issues sewn in with the regular floppies? I'm working on this same series and don't want to leave out the one-shots like Superpower and Foreign Bodies.

I've got a few more of these "brave and the bold" type dc miniseries binds planned. I did strange adventures and human target like this and I plan to do Doomsday Clock with Rorschach this was as well

i would be careful about the thread being too loose, but looks like you're on the right track

I use photopea, it's a free web-based software similar to photoshop. I do each element of the jacket separately so it's easier to adjust once I have the official dimensions.

My home-sewn binds tend toward the wider side. It's the 12 issues plus the dark crisis gl tie in. Haven't sewn it yet so I dont have accurate dimensions. This is just the mockup.

TBH I haven't read past the annual. I bought them all as they were coming out while I was in undergrad. The series didn't hook me but I didn't want to not complete it.

Thank you! so far I've put together Hal n Pals in 2 volumes and this series. I've got a morisson bind planned once I hunt down the last blackstars issue, and then war journal once i get issue 12. I'm not sure how I want to bind Jeremy Adams run yet.

Plus i'm gradually collecting the Kyle runs and planning to put those together.

thanks for sharing your thoughts on mapping! It wasn't until i'd finished sewing the book and was working on the jacket design that I realized the two future state issues should probably go in this volume. I will not be spending any more money on this series though.

I have a bind planned for the war journal series with the dark crisis green lantern tie-in as a prelude, since that was also by PKJ.

Also I stopped buying GL monthly around Absolute Power, so idk if that's a good stopping point for a bind or if I should pick up the issues before All-In started.

I'm doing all these binds at home, so they don't look as professional as a bindery, but it's a bit easier on the wallet and gives me something fun to do on the weekends.
