Just as the New 52’s launch titles, the Zero Month and Villains Month titles had omnibus hardcover editions from DC Comics shortly after they were published, a new Amazon listing suggests this September’s Five Years Later event will get the same treatment.Retailing at over $100 (and currently listed at $114.10 on Amazon), the book collects over 1,400 pages of content to be published in September under the “Five Years Later” banner, tying into the upcoming, time travel-infused The New 52: Futures End weekly comic.The item description doesn’t give away much information about the upcoming storyline, possibly because (as they have in the past) the listing was spotted by Bleeding Cool before any of the comics were actually solicited.
