DC Omnibus thread

[Mister H]

Although not an omnibus, Batman: Under the Red Hood is getting the deluxe hardcover treatment. In early September as well.

[Shoo]

Since we're talking Batman Omnis, "Golden Age vol. 10" (at last), "Batman: Detective Comics by Peter J. Tomasi" and "Batman and Robin Eternal" are also coming.

Not an omnibus but the new Absolute Swamp Thing is fantastic. Great pains were taken to restore Bernie Wrightson’s art and colors as true to the original colors as first published. This book’s a real treasure.

I was considering getting that, but I was going between that, and the swamp thing omnibus that would’ve had those stories in as well as his entire run of the original series, and then the Martin Pasko stories.
I did hear though that the Martin Pasko stories weren’t really the best and the run was just OK and I did read a few of the swamp things stories from the original run post Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson, and they were just kind of average

And speaking of absolute formats, I did get the Sandman Overture Absolute, and it just takes JH Williams artwork to an entirely new level. The book is truly stunning.

I have that Absolute Sandman Overture as well but haven?t cracked it yet. It?s sitting with my other Absolute Sandman and Death volumes, all of which I?ve read so I should get to the Overture book soon.

Back to Swamp Thing, I?ve also got the Bronze Age Omnibus but I just couldn?t pass up this Absolute volume. The presentation of the art and coloring just is so much better.

My expectations for Grayson is really high as well. It is my shame that as a Batman guy, i still haven't read Grayson yet... It is somewhat DC's fault as well though... they printed the first vol. of Grayson as hard cover then turned to soft cover as collected editions... So i had to drop the book.

I was angry to DC for trying to fool me into getting soft covers like that so i passed on the title until now and now, i finally pulled the trigger on the Omnibus format. DC did the same for Green Arrow Rebirth and Batgirl of Burnside as well... I am thinking about getting the Batgirl of Burnside Omnibus and may be we get an Omnibus for the Green Arrow run as well someday.

This was all before i decided to get only Omnibuses for runs and Deluxes for mini and maxi series though.
