So is there anything special about the "Black Label" reissuing of the trades?

Also, I though the black label for DC was the "mature" line? Some of those titles listed never struck me as mature....

Not that I'm aware of. So some of these titles, that have been collected under Absolute Editions, won't be sought after as collectibles. I don't really think that TPBs are generally 'collectible' anyhow.

I know that all of the newly-issued Black Label series/issues are all M/18+, but I think these reprinted stories are considered by DC to be 'more adult'. Of the stories that I have read - Watchmen, TDK Returns, and The Killing Joke - I agree. I thought it was interesting/weird when I found All-Star Superman TPB under the Black Label imprint. I haven't read it yet, so Idk if it's mature or not. In my mind I'm not/wasn't expecting it to be.

I haven't read 18 of the 22 TPBs on the list in the OP so it will be fun for me to buy and read them all.
